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?

[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.

I am so glad you are okay! I would ask you to prove your identity, but I do not think anyone could properly fake you, my Lee!

I need you to stay somewhere safe, preferably within village walls if you are near an allied village! There is something afoot, and I have found myself hit with a mindtransfer jutsu of some sort! If you see me about, know that it is Iruka-sensei from the Academy and not actually me (though I am certain he would appreciate any and all hugs as well, if you should briefly forget!)

Be safe, Lee! And keep an eye on those you are with!

You have always had such confidence in me, Gai-sensei! There is no student more blessed than I!

Mindtransfer? Have the Yamanaka been informed of this development? Did Iruka-sensei manage to swap himself into your body? But then HOW ARE YOU WRITING TO ME DO YOU HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR BODY FOR ONLY A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME WHAT IS GOING ON???

I will endeavor to do my best, as always! DO NOT FEAR FOR ME, GAI-SENSEI!!!

I am the blessed one, to have a student such as you, Lee!

I have not yet informed a Yamanaka, though I am certain our Hokage will have the clan's best minds on the task right away! As for how I am writing to you, I am in Iruka's body! His mind is in mine! So I have complete control over his body, it seems! And am writing with his hand!

I know you will do your best, Lee! Be safe!

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!

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!

Alright! I will not hold back then! If I make a mistake I will simply apologize with all my earnestness!

I would like to see you again soon after this is all cleared up! Perhaps we could have tea sometime? [He misses you, sensei.]

I shall! And please do the same in return, Gai-sensei! I will pass on any information we have to anyone else who becomes afflicted. There could be some fishy business afoot!

And you shall be hugged regardless!

I would love to spend more time with you, Lee! Tea it is! As soon as I am back to myself, I am all yours!

Of course! Thank you, Lee! Be cautious!

Hooray for hugs!!!

And thank you! I am looking forward to it!

Same to you, Gai-sensei! It must be strange to be in Iruka-sensei's body and I cannot imagine his reflexes are as good as your own. Do be careful!
