A month after the first odd event with Team Seven meeting up in the middle of the market and giving some sort of strange code speak to each other, and four days after the last time they met up in the middle of the market, Ibiki sat at a cafe near where they met. They always showed up at precisely the same time each day they did the meet up and wore the same clothes, even if the message and items were different. He had transcripts of the previous conversations in front of him, written in a couple of different methods, and a stack of notes in front of him. He was trying to figure out the strangeness of their behavior and if Kakashi was sharing any information he shouldn't be to his genin in these messages. So far, all he got was that the man Naruto shot was probably Zabuza and that the gun was some sort of technique he used. Or it was Zabuza's assistant and it meant something sexual. Ok, all Ibiki had was that the shooting of a man with a gun probably refered to something that happened during the wave mission. A quiet alarm went off, letting Ibiki know that they would soon show up if they showed up at all today.

Ibiki's jaw dropped at seeing the rediculus clothes they wore this time, and began taking notes seeing that they were coming from different directions from normal. Kakashi seemed to have a large stuffed dog head on top of his head while Sasuke was dressed as a walrus, Naruto looked like an over sized egg, and Sakura was in a suit. A white suit. With white shoes and a white shirt. After jotting as many of the details he deemed relevant to this sudden change, which was everything he noticed was different, Ibiki payed close attention to them. When they got to the their meeting point, he saw they stopped and began to speak.

Kakashi was the first to say anything. And it was absurd, "I am the walrus."

Naruto followed it up by looking at Kakashi and stating, "You are the walrus." He did not ask it like Ibiki was thinking.

Ibiki was further confused with Sasuke saying, "I am the eggman."

Sakura finished the conversation with, "The walrus was Paul."

They then reached into their pockets, or, in Naruto's case, into his egg shell, and pulled out rectangular pieces of wood and placed them against each other before nodding to themselves, putting the wood away before pulling out smoke bombs they tossed to the ground. Ibiki watched and was impressed to see them not there when the smoked cleared since he did not see them leave the smoke. In fact, there was no sign they had ever been there. Jotting down notes quickly, Ibiki left some money for the tea he did not drink before heading back to his office and the cork board that his subordinates reffered to as the conspiracy board to see how this change affects his theories.

Elsewhere, Team Seven had a meeting and were given the the forms to enter the chunin exams.
