Sipping his coffee, Iruka gazed over the rim of his coffee cup, staring at his mission partners, wondering just why the four of them had been chosen to figure out what was going on in a new village that had cropped up a few miles away from Kohona. From what passing nins and merchants had see, the village was made of nearly all males. They also had community farming areas with a few specialized areas and seemed self sustaining for the most part.



He supposed he could understand why Tsunade would send Ibiki. Despite the scarred exterior, the man could disappear and hear things, find the needed information relatively easily. But he could also smell a lie a mile away and ferret out the truth quickly enough. Not to mention his very presence was enough to  deter most from attacking them.



With Kakashi, it was harder to pinpoint the reason why he was there. True, he had a sharigan eye and an advantage over most opponents. He was also a genius and powerful in his own right. He had learned and perfected so many jutsus that Irukas mind boggled at the thought. But really, he and Kakashi had a barely civil working relationship at the best of times. At the worst, Iruka wished he could find the boots with 5 inch spiked heels that had been a gag gift from Izumo and shove them up the copy nins ass.



Naruto though, Iruka knew just why he had been sent on this mission. He could make friends with nearly everyone, could make them feel at ease around him without even trying to. Iruka found it amazing at how easy the blond did it, and then never figuring out why the person had told him everything and anything.



As it was, Narutos reports on what he had done during his time just wondering about the little village were quite long. Iruka had taken to highlighting the important parts of his reports while frowning at how perverted Kakashis reports sounded and how Ibikis had a tone of surprise to them.



“Ibiki...were you able to get to the history scroll of the village?” Iruka asked, getting a grunt of a reply from the large man who waved said scroll before going back to his reading of the scroll. “Good. Don’t forget to write down your notes and try not to smear the damn ink this time.” Kakashi and Naruto snickered at the loud growl that came from the large, bear like man. Iruka supposed that his place on this mission was to make sure that the information they were gathering got home intact and legible.



He was used to doing this after all. No reason why not to continue with what he did best and continued to go through Narutos scroll as his mind ran through the dozen of other things that they had to do, occasionally wondering if he was going to get laid any time soon after the mission. He hated long missions when he had to deal with more then one male with enough testosterone to drown a large cat.
