"Everything is fine."

Petra smiled. She would never use her father as a cover to try to get close to someone. Especially to the captain. She admired him as a commander and as a person, but she would never have decided to take any serious step.

She blushed as she poured them both tea.

“Yes, the old asshole has always been a problem. But given that we are on the brink of war, there will be plenty of opportunities to get rid of it. Especially if we can prove that he killed the toad that should have warned you about Pain. Sai's seal... I think that if we look in the old scrolls, we will be able to destroy it and then Sai will be able to tell a lot of interesting things about Danzo. And then nothing will help him. "

Jiraiya had no intention of putting up with Danzo. It was necessary to get rid of this asshole for a long time and Jiraiya doesn’t care what the elders say about this. They themselves have been in office for too long. But they can be dealt with later. There are many more important things to do.

"Well, it's not for nothing that they called me a legend, isn't it?"

Jiraiya laughed. His youth fell on numerous wars and Jiraiya managed to become one of the strongest shinobi in Konoha and won the respect of many people, including Daimyo himself. But he never dreamed of the position of Hokage, despite the fact that Hiruzen at one time seriously believed that Jiraiya could take his place. Jiraiya never believed that anything would come of it. He was more useful being free of paperwork, spying on Konoha's enemies away from her.

“I am more useful when I am away from the village and find information than if I was dealing with papers as Hokage. "

Name: “Ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Soul Reaper-damn it, not again! You better cut this part out Kon!” (cosmic-canons) Age: 18+ Do you like to cuddle?: “Yeah, who doesn’t? Probably Byakuya, ahem.” Can we make-out?: “Yes, just don’t drag me into my closet again when we do it, it’s more comfortable for you than it is for me…” A night in or dinner out?: “A night in, chances are we’ll bump into all our friends when we go out.” Ice cream or chocolate covered strawberries?: “Why can’t we have both?” What makes you a good Valentine?: “I can actually be a nice and romantic guy, despite the ‘bad boy’ reputation that Ishida keeps insisting on to everyone.” Would you cook for me?: “Of course!” Would you let me cook for you?: “Yes, as long as you don’t make it Chappy themed.”

Rukia couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “I find it amusing you still introduce yourself with the “substitute soul reaper” title. You can just say your name, you know.” 

She continued further down, blushing at the closet comment and huffing slightly. 

“That was ONE time! I thought your sister was going to burst in and I didn’t want to traumatize her! It’s your fault for not wanting to stop kissing me.” Though if she was honest, she didn’t exactly try to stop kissing him either.  

Still blushing slightly, Rukia glanced up at him  with a soft smirk. Her voice was light and teasing. “Application accepted. I’m curious to meet this “nice romantic guy” you mentioned. Is he a secret twin of yours somewhere?” 

“So, you chose to come to Suna for once?”  Temari smirked at Shikamaru, clearly teasing the Leaf Shinobi.  It made sense now why her brothers seemed amused by choosing her to be the one to greet the ‘mystery’ Leaf shinobi that was sent here to assist with some minor tasks and help show that things were still good between the two villages.  

His genius resembled a curse at times, she realized. People, hell, all of Konoha, had relied on the Nara brain ever since its founding. With Shikaku gone, the burden rested upon Shikamaru' shoulders now. Ino knew a thing or two about that. Some days she could feel Ibiki trying to burn a hole through her skull with his staring.

Like he'd will Inoichi back to life by doing so. If only it were that simple.

She knocked once, she knocked twice on Shikamaru's front door, waiting. When there was no response and the sound of approaching footsteps didn't grace her ears, Ino sighed heavily. He was inside. His chakra signature told her as much. "I will break down your door if you don't let me in." she threatened loudly, as though they were twelve again or fourteen and they had yet to know the horrors of war.

"Kami help you if I do and I see you lazing around. Is sleeping and watching clouds all you are good at?" Ino couldn't do anything, but nag. If she didn't, her heart would break for the shattered man she considered family.

Silence. The absence of any 'troublesome woman' wording left her feeling empty and more concerned than earlier. Ino knocked on the door again, more urgently. Not out of anger or even annoyance, but out of worry. "Shikamaru please." she pleaded. "I need to see you. And I won't leave until you let me." Ino insisted, voice gentler than earlier, but still loud enough to ensure that he'd hear her.

@galacticxflower After the whole ordeal with Bojack and his crew, Krillin helped gather the dragonballs to wish the people killed back to life, and to alter the memories of the innocent humans involved. “Wait, what? Bojack killed her to get to you? Man, that’s messed up… Well I believe she deserves a second chance like Piccolo and Vegeta. And if that doesn’t work, you can go beat her up Gohan!” Krillin told his half Saiyan friend optimistically.

Kimi was happy that they were able to get this far in researching and creating food for the Ghouls. It took her a long time to be able to help ghouls in general and Nishiki in particular. Yes, Dr. Kano did terrible things, but thanks to him, she learned what she could not even dream of. She can help both humans and ghouls. If ghouls can eat other food, they won't have to kill people anymore. It was valuable.

"Great. I plan to take this experiment to the end and create the perfect food for ghouls. And your presence and participation will greatly help me."

She smiled. Yes, it was a little early to leave work now, but she couldn't do anything more useful today. It was necessary to analyze all the received data before proceeding with further work.
