Forward Dated to March 7th

[Private, to Iruka]

[ Someone is trying to be tactful in how he goes about this. He had to confirm with Hinata/Adela the name of the body he is in, because Gai's only mildly familiar with Iruka. ]

I appear to be you for the moment, Umino-san. I want to assure you that your body is safe, will soon be secure within the Konoha walls, and will be taken care of respectfully by its current occupant, a fellow Konoha ninja. That said, for security reasons, I will not identify myself to you until you can confirm for me your current appearance and your whereabouts. Please. Thank you.

[Private to Obito and Kakashi, as close to immediately after confirming with Iruka as possible (depending on how that goes--might be edited, but I didn't want to spam with a billion separate posts)]

[ The handwriting is trying desperately to look like Gai's, but it's a struggle. ]

I do not know how to explain what has happened. A mindtransfer jutsu, perhaps?

I am making you aware that I am currently in Umino Iruka's body. He is the school teacher who taught your students, Obito. Ponytail, nose scar. And he is me. So if you see me...it is actually him. Does this make sense? It does not make sense to me.

Adela and Hinata have swapped bodies as well. Or minds? My consciousness went to where Iruka's physical self was. I am returning to the village now. I have contacted him and will try to disclose only what he needs to know, but I want to advise him to exercise caution in how he deals with...

And I just now realize I should exercise caution here as well. I am not sure how many this has affected.

Can you confirm for me your identities?

- Maito Gai

[Private to Team Gai]

[ Again, the handwriting is trying desperately to look like Gai's, but it's a struggle. ]

Are you three safe? There has been an incident around the village and I need you three to check in as soon as possible.

- Maito Gai

[Private to Adela and Hinata]

Please let me know when you both make it to a safe and secure location. Hinata, please inform your sensei, too, as soon as you can.

- Maito Gai

Gai-san,

I will do so in a just a moment, please don't worry. Once I figure out how to word my predicament to Obito-sensei. Take care of yourself? Is Iruka-sensei in your body?

~Hyuuga Hinata

Hinata-san!

Be safe, and good luck!! I myself was hard pressed on how to word it to our Hokage. I am not entirely sure what happened. But I have no doubt we will get to the bottom of this soon enough!

I always take care of myself! But thank you! I shall be taking extra good care of Iruka. And yes, he confirms he is in my body. Adela is in yours, I gather? Or is there another party involved?

-- Maito Gai

Gai-
This happened to me too. I went to Tanzaku a few days ago for a personal errand, and was stuck in the body of someone I'd never met before for a couple of days. Perhaps that will be reassuring to you - the knowledge that my switch only lasted a short while?

I'm available should you need me.

-Kakashi.

Gai-san,

That's a relief that I wasn't the only one. OBito-sensei has been notified now. ~~It was easier to tell him I was engaged.~~

Please keep that up then. Oh good at least it all stayed in the village for you. I want to assume that Milani-san is in my body, but I'm still waiting to hear back. I hope it's just a mutual swap though, I'm not sure I like the idea of a third person involved.

~Hyuuga Hinata

I'm all right. I'm still with Iruka-Sensei in your body apparently, Gai-san. Just what the hell is going on?

- Adela Milani

I see! That is quite interesting but also strange to think about! So if I see Iruka-sensei it will actually be you! I shall endeavor to not call you Iruka-sensei, Gai-sensei!

I hope the Hokage-sama and Yamanaka-san can come up with a solution to the problem! Or else this will be very awkward between you and your special people.

As always, Gai-sensei! I am the epitome of awareness and safety!

I'm an Academy Sensei. If I couldn't spot someone's handwriting like that I would be a very poor teacher indeed. People would start getting cheating forgeries past me and I can't have that.

Considering you appeared to just be jogging around the village walls I just had to go back inside. I'm actually headed to your position now, since I know where I left myself.

Iruka

Very good point! I had not thought of it that way!

I was headed inside as well, to speak with the Hokage. Unless you would like me to meet you back at the campsite?

-Maito Gai

Gai,

An unfortunate number of people I happen to deal with personally.

It's unsettling, to say the least. For now, get yourself sorted out with the other half of your situation. Iruka, correct? I'll be fine once I'm done checking on those I can contact who are out of the village.

Obito

Hinata-san!

~~I can understand that sentiment.~~

Keep me posted about Adela's whereabouts and yours and if there is anyone else involved that we should be on the lookout for. I do not particularly like the idea of a third either; at least the two of you are responsible and sensible young women. I know that you will both be safe in each other's hands.

Oh! And speak with your cousin when you get the chance. You know how Neji is. He worries.

-- Maito Gai

KAKASHI!!!! THAT IS RUDE!!! IT HAS GROWN! GROWN DO NOT MAKE ME PR MAKE IRUKA PROVE IT TO YOU!!! [ Yeah, that wouldn't be hella awkward to do, Gai. not at all. ]

It is not very reassuring, however THAT IT HAPPENED TO YOU AND YOU DID NOT TELL ME!!! WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME, KAKASHI? WE ARE RIVALS!! THIS IS IMPORTANT!! WHAT IF I TRIED TO HUG THIS MYSTERIOUS NOT-YOU WHILE HE WAS IN YOUR BODY?!?!?! DID HE TREAT YOU RIGHT? ARE YOU IN ONE PIECE? IS YOUR HAIR STILL AS POINTY AS EVER?

(Are you okay, seriously, my Rival? He did not hurt you in any way? How are you feeling? How is Eien?)

Did you AT LEAST inform Obito--since I see you were so negligent about informing me-- HOW COULD YOU, KAKASHI? I AM HURT. THAT WAS RUDE.

ACORN, REALLY.

RUDE.

I ALWAYS need you, though I am considering not talking to you for the rest of the day for that acorn comment. RUDE

-- Your Rival, forever, even while not entirely himself

PS. Iruka's hair does this wonderfully expressive swish! Perhaps I should grow out my hair into a ponytail!!

Edited 2015-03-13 04:21 (UTC)

I am glad to hear you are alright, Adela! I wish I had more answers for you, but all I know thus far is that we have been swapped and it has to do with seals on our bodies. I will update you when I know more. Please stay safe!

-- Maito Gai

No, it's fine, I'm sure I'll find you quickly enough when you come out and we can discuss. I've already appraised the Hokage of my side of the situation.

Iruka

Obito

Any number is an unfortunate number, and you must remember, Hokage-sama, you deal with a great many of us personally. It does not mean you or yours were specifically targeted. Do not take this too hard.

Obito, I do not know what more I can sort with Iruka aside from checking on his whereabouts and ensuring my body's safety. You are my priority. I know I cannot offer comfort as usual, but if you need anything--anything at all-- After all, I am certain Iruka would not be upset if he was seen bringing lunch/dinner/dessert to the Hokage, so that the Hokage might better be able to focus on the matter at hand? My beloved Hokage has to eat.

Anything you need, just let me know. You do not have to face this alone.

- ♥ Gai

Good! Obito does like to be kept informed. Thank you, Iruka-sensei! Let me know if you need anything! Also, I promise I will not tire you out from training ...too much!

Gai,

You guys already worked out if you're going to keep your normal routines, where you'll be sleeping and whatnot?

Iruka brings me meals Gai, this isn't weird at all. He works as my assistant from time to time. I'll be happy to have you around though, thank you. Come by so I can look at the seal on you soon.

Obito

No? I did not think of that. I figured I would train and see how far I could push him (gently! of course!) and sleep at home, or on your couch, or his place if he requested so (though he has not, so I figure this will not be an issue!). He could take his shift at the Academy! I am durable. I am not afraid about what he does, or the Academy students do, so long as he does not gorge on donuts!

Good good! Then his frequent company will not raise any alarms. That is good. I can also be an assistant! I am very good at assist~~ant~~ing!! I will see you in a little while!

♥ Gai

Gai-
I uh- I'm sorry, but it was the only way to be sure that the person writing to me was you while assuring that the person writing to you was me. After all, no-one knows about the significance of that acorn other than the two of us, hm?

I instructed the one who had my body to stay where he was, and luckily he obliged. There was no danger of you coming into contact with him. I filled Obito in on what happened the moment I got back to the village yesterday. I met another this had happened to on the way over to Hokage Tower, and they were stuck in the body of Kushina. I haven't ventured out much for social calls since then, just in case the perpetrator is still hanging around looking for more ambushes to pull-- and also, there's no way for me to know who is who. I was going to send you a missive later today, but.. you beat me to it. I'm sorry for my tardiness.

But yes, I'm alright. I'm in once piece, Eien is perfectly fine, and... as far as the sharingan tells me, the man who had my body took me to a spa? My skin is... incredibly soft, and my hair is...
Well, lets just say I'm not entirely as typical as you might be used to.

I am sorry for the acorn. I'm sure it's grown.

- Kakashi.

P.S: Are you sure that would be a good look for you?
I've kind of gotten used to your hair the way it is.

[Obito stared at the note, then covered his face. ]

Gai,

Please keep in mind assistants do paperwork extensively.

Obito

We should meet sometime today to discuss living situation arrangements for the duration of this. Please don't leave me unable to move when I get my body back.

I will be in touch.

Iruka

I will take the best care of you, promise!!

Of course! Name the time and place and I shall be there.

- Gai

~~I assure you that Obito would not hurt me!~~

Iruka is indeed within the village walls! He is safe and I am safe and everything will be fine! I am hoping that whoever the culprits are who are behind this act are not within the walls with us, but just in case, be vigilant, Tenten!

If you forget, I will not be insulted! Iruka-sensei is undoubtedly a nice man and being mistaken for him while looking like him is to be expected!!

I have no doubts that they will find a way. They are brilliant, after all, and I have complete faith in them, Lee! As should you! Do not worry. I will be back to myself in no time. All of my precious people do not need to be concerned about me!

Good! I will let you know of any developments! Keep me informed if you find out anything!

I know that! You did not think I knew that? I know that!

I am EXCELLENT at paperwork, even if it is not ideal!

Watch! I shall prove it to you!

I will be the best assistant you have ever had!
Super useful!
Very fast (though not as fast as normal, I see Iruka needs some training in speed)!!
THE BEST!!

The ONLY way, Kakashi? I find it very hard to believe that with a mind as brilliant as yours the best you could do is ACORN. YOU JUST WANTED TO PICK ON ME. I SEE HOW IT IS!!!

And NO ONE better know about that ACORN story except US! Do not tell Obito! I do not need more teasing!!

...but I shall forgive you for your tardiness.

But only because I love you. Otherwise I still think you are rude.

(A spa? I am curious, Kakashi, how your hair feels, looks! Maybe we should spa together sometime! You and me! A challenge!! to see who comes out the softest!)

As for the acorn. IT HAS. GROWN. A LOT.

♥ Gai

PS. I do not know? I was just considering. His hair has nice movement!
But these hairties are something else entirely. I think I might have lost one across the room. I do not know where. It took off without me.
I will reconsider this hairstyle. It could be difficult to run with.
