Fighter
Kakashi yawned widely, now. Lee had departed and was now trying to get a less primitive conversation from Shino, but was failing miserably ('So... I hear you're from the Aburame clan, huh?' 'Yes.' 'You guys use bugs, right?'
'Uhuh..' "And how do you feel about that' 'We don't.' 'Huh?' 'Bugs are us.' 'Riiiiight.' 'Hn.' 'Yeah.. And.. So...' 'Hn.' 'I'm gonna go talk to someone else now, okay?' 'Whatever...'). What else could they do? Gai had gotten them to play the stupidest game he had ever heard of, Kurenai had given them a training excercise-style game which they had enjoyed, Asuma had forced them into awkward conversations.. What was Kakashi to do?
"Right. Uhmm... Okay, Everyone... Pick a partner... Not from your team.. And they can't be the same partners you have shared a tent with or played Manhunt with."
Lee groaned, but soon found himself paired up with Naruto.. He could live with Naruto at least, right?
Sakura and Hinata were partners, and Ino and Tenten had paired. The girls generally stuck together unless otherwise forced to.
Sasuke found himself paired with Shino, which was no big deal, they had their primitive conversations to share, so it worked.
Neji found himself staring into the face of none other than Chouji.
Shikamaru and Kiba were paired up together, therefore.
"Ok.." Kakashi was just making this up as he went, now. The other teachers had long since planned their ideas, but his had to be pulled from the top of his head.
"We're going to play another game..."
Many students groaned loudly at this.
"The whole point is to learn as much as possible about other students, and whichever team can answer the most questions I give to them at the end of the week wins.. And that team will..."
"Never have to go on a stupid retreat like this again?" Somebody offered, nobody really learned who.
"Right." Kakashi said, figuring that they hadn't planned anything else like this for anytime in the near future, so that answer would work.
"Gotcha."
"And the questions can be personal, impersonal, simply about the person's appearance, ect. There is not set outline for these questions, so study your comrades carefully."
Sakura figured that if any questions about Sasuke came up, she would be able to answer them easily. She knew everything about him down to the fact that his second biggest toe on his left foot was ALMOST the same length as the big toe.
Chouji and Shikamaru knew each other well, and though Chouji wanted to play this game, Shikamaru found it too troublesome.
"Neji, use your Byakuugans, and I'm going to go stare at the clouds and.. Think of a plan."
Neji shrugged, the idea worked out and he would be able to see everything about anyone very easily.
Hinata knew a lot about Naruto, and also had Byakuugans.
Naruto knew a lot about both Sakura and Hinata, a fair bit about Sasuke, and even a fair bit about Kiba now.
Lee knew a LOT about Sakura.
Ino and Tenten knew Sasuke almost as well as Sakura knew him. Tenten also knew Neji more than any human being, and Ino knew a lot about both Chouji and Shikamaru.
Kiba knew a lot about... Akamaru? He also knew a bit about Naruto, and maybe Hinata... And The absolute minimum about Shino... Actually, he could barely spell Aburame...
Shino knew Sasuke through their 'talks' and also had his bugs to gather information well enough.
Now, all they had to do was gather up each others' bits of knowledge... But how?
"Right.. Gai's turn again, seeing as my plan lasts all week, it also means that I don't have to take any more turns!"
The other teachers gawked at his sheer genius. They had all thought of many ideas for their retreat, but Kakashi had simply made up a game that kept him from being forced to make up any more games. The only other thing he had to do was make up a few questions about each students and learn their real answers... No big deal.
Lee gazed over at Naruto, who was looking around suspiciously at the other students.
"... Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi... Shikamaru... I think that's it."
"Nani?" Lee asked, gazing back over at Naruto.
"Just counting how many people I think know about my biggest secret..."
"Ah."
Lee paused before counting on his fingers how many secrets he had. Not many, but the main ones had only been told about to Gai-sensei... That made things a lot easier...
"Together we'll know Sakura like an open book. I also know Neji somewhat, and Tenten has a big mouth so I know a LOT about her too. Who else can you come up with stuff on?"
"Kiba, Sasuke, and.. Hinata."
Lee sighed. Naruto and Hinata were STILL not together?
"All right.. So that leaves Shino, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji... If we can get Chouji into a conversation about Shikamaru it shouldn't be TOO difficult to learn things about them both... And Ino.. well.. Ino is madly in love with Sasuke, but I'm pretty sure she also has a thing for Shikamaru too.."
Naruto was making these deductions, not matter how much you thought it would be Lee.
Lee was impressed.
"All right, So... I share a tent with Chouji, so getting information can't be TOO hard, right?"
Naruto nodded.
"Then... It's my job to learn stupid girlie stuff about Ino?"
"Ask Hinata, she'll probably tell you." Was all Lee said before he looked up to the sky. He wished he was able to go back to his clearing and train. He wanted to punch and kick until his physical pain drowned his emotional pain, and then everything would be right again.
By this point, noon had already passed. Groups were coming up with their plans, and were completely ignoring Gai's ideas of playing 'Hot Potato' and 'Telephone' to learn to work together as a BIG team.
Eventually they DID actually play telephone, and the message usually ended up into 'This is so troublesome' around the time it reached Shikamaru. Once, the message had actually BEEN 'This is so troublesome', but Naruto found it boring and changed it into something sounding much like 'Naruto is gonna be Hokage!' at the very end of the line.
The game never did teach the students what Gai wanted them to learn, just that Shikamaru was lazy and Naruto was very obsessed with becoming the Hokage.
To even bother explaining what else happened that night is far too troublesome.
