[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.

So others have been affected as well? You should know then, that Adela and Hinata have swapped, too. Who else has been affected? (Seal? I do not see any There is one, on my shoulder.) I will be happy to swing by. Neji inquired about offering his services and examining me. Should I invite him along? Is there anything else I can do to help you, Obito? Anything I can get you? Even if it is just lunch or a hug or companionship? -Yours, always, Gai

[thebestuchiha]

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

[morningpeacock]

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

[thebestuchiha]

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

[morningpeacock]

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 assistanting!! I will see you in a little while! ♥ Gai

[thebestuchiha]

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

Gai,

Please keep in mind assistants do paperwork extensively.

Obito

[morningpeacock]

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!!

[thebestuchiha]

I love you Gai.

Obito

[morningpeacock]

I love you too, even though I am certain you are laughing at me. ♥

[thebestuchiha]

I know, and I am.

[morningpeacock]

[ ANGRY SCRIBBLE ] You are so FRUSTRATING SOMETIMES, UCHIHA OBITO! I WANT TO KISS YOU.

[thebestuchiha]

You'll just have to hold onto that thought for a few days, won't you?

[morningpeacock]

[ More scribbles!!! ] You say that like that thought EVER leaves my mind.

[thebestuchiha]

That must get very tedious then to think of nothing else.

[morningpeacock]

Just because a thought does not leave my mind does not mean it is the only thought that I have. Or even the only thought I have about you!

[thebestuchiha]

True, I'm sure your imagination covers a lot more than just kissing these days.

[morningpeacock]

OBITO!!!

[thebestuchiha]

Talk to you soon.

[morningpeacock]

You are awful and maybe I do not want to talk to you soon, now! Because you are teasing me when I cannot kiss you, maybe I should withhold kisses when I can!!

[thebestuchiha]

Would you really withhold kisses from me?

[morningpeacock]

YES! I mean, I would try and therefore I would do my best and I would succeed! Because I always succeed if I try my best!! ...You doubt my resolve, Obito?

[thebestuchiha]

More pouting that you don't want to give me kisses really.

[morningpeacock]

YOU. ARE. FRUSTRATING!!!!! Fine! I suppose I shall kiss you when I can again. But only if you do not try to make me interested while I am stuck as Iruka.

[thebestuchiha]

You mean I have to make you interested? Should I be pouting?

[morningpeacock]

[ ALL THE ANGRY SCRIBBLES ] I wish you had to. That would make this situation easier. Unfortunately, all you have to do to 'make me interested' is exist. If I was not Iruka, I would march right over there and kiss you senseless right this second.
