Student Evaluation Time

Where: Konohagakure
When: About two years ago, after the chunin results were in.
Notes: Closed to Hinata and Sasuke. Who are to be ~~drunk~~ celebrating with their sensei.

Obito had gotten the idea in his head, but it wasn't frivolous. If anything, he had an entirely practical reason for wanting to get the two trashed.

It was because they were his students, and honestly, getting someone drunk was the easiest way to interrogate some people. Being students of the Hokage meant that them being out on mission and unprepared for that? No good. Better he know exactly what they'd deal with in the world so that he could prepare them for it.

Still, he could hardly do it at his house, people would look at him strangely, Hyuuga heir and all, and no way was he doing it at their places. So. Bar.

Which means he was currently on Sasuke's doorstep chatting with Mikoto as he waited for the boy to come out. He hadn't told him why he was coming to get him, just that it was a celebration for Hinata making Chunin. Once he had Sasuke, they'd go get said girl, and then they'd see just what was to be done here.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"Yeah, I'm coming, Mom!" It wasn't like he was dallying, either; he knew better than to let Obito chat with his mom for any extended amount of time. It inevitably led to questions about his social life that he had no desire to discuss in detail with either his mom or his sensei and Kage. He was rushing down the stairs before long, tugging a clean Uchiha-branded shirt over his head as he went.

"We'll probably be late getting back, so don't wait for me," he added once he was at the door, pausing long enough for Mikoto to affectionately flatten the back of his hair (which immediately fought its way back up) while he stepped into his shoes.

"Seriously, sensei," he said, stepping into the street as the door slid shut behind them. "This couldn't wait until Naruto got back? He wanted to celebrate with Hinata, too."

"I got impatient!" And had no desire to have Kushina rip his face off... but he decided to just not inform Sasuke of that point and instead just flashed him a grin. "This just gives us an excuse to celebrate twice, right?"

He turned, starting on the way off to the Hyuuga compound.

Impatient, said the Lord Hokage of the Leaf -- Sasuke made a noise to show just what he thought of that, delivering an unimpressed look at Obito as they headed out towards the Hyuuga district. "Or it gives Naruto an excuse to whine at me about how we partied without him.

"Why are we starting this late, anyway?" It was already nearing dusk, and as far as Sasuke was aware, Hiashi wasn't particularly generous when it came to Hinata's being out at night. Maybe he'd make an exception for the Kage, though.

"It'll work out better that way." He waved it off, looking over his shoulder at him. He wasn't going to explain the reasoning for all this until morning. It would be more realistic that way. "Did you eat anything yet?"

Work out better for what? Sasuke resisted the urge to sigh, maintaining some level of appropriate decorum around his sensei; when Obito got into one of these ideas, there wasn't much to do other than go along with him. The question thre him though, Sasuke blinking at him in some confusion as to how it was related.

"Yeah, we had dinner before you got here. Why?"

"Because that way I know exactly how many stops we're going to be making, obviously." He grinned at him and shook his head, going at a steady amble. "I really hope tonight is going to be as fun as I think it will be."

Sasuke levelled a thoroughly suspicious look at Obito for a long moment, keeping pace, before finally giving in to the inevitable urge to comment: "Sensei, your idea of fun isn't exactly normal."

"...Is that a complaint or a compliment Sasuke?" He paused outside of the gates to the Hyuuga compound, waiting for his answer before going forward.

Sasuke's suspicious look lingered before he finally let it relax into something more amused, lifting an eyebrow as they paused in front of the familiar gates. "Do you really want to know the answer to that?"

"I had to try, didn't I?" It was a murmur, and then he smirked, heading off into the complex. Time to fetch Hinata~!

It took a few moments before Hinata was moving across the grounds to meet up with both Uchiha. Not that she wasn’t actively looking for them while she waited but etiquette had certain requirements she needed to satisfy before she could quietly excuse herself from dinner. As it was she was all too aware how much all her teammates felt uncomfortable when in her home for any length of time.

“Shouldn’t we wait for Naruto to come back?” She asked with a tilt of her head when she met both of them. The prospect of celebrating without him feeling strange to her even as she takes the lead back toward the gates of the compound.

Sasuke spotted Hinata from across the grounds, the cadence of her walk making her easy to distinguish from among her otherwise rather similar-looking kin (seriously, at least the Uchiha were allowed to do what they wanted with their hair), giving her a quick wave in greeting and falling easily into step.

"That's what I said, too," he said, giving Obito an I-told-you sort of look. "But sensei got impatient."

"It will make more sense later." He shook his head, then quickly headed off the grounds. "I have plans for this celebration. You can almost consider it a test too, okay?"

Never have six words made Hinata more worried. She turns to look at Sasuke, eyes questioning. Whatever their teacher has planned as a test or a celebration leaves her more than a little nervous as they walk further away from her home.

"Impatient to do what?" She asks eying Obito.

Sasuke met her glance with a small shake of his head and a shrug, the I don't know and who knows clear in the movement. When Obito sank his teeth into an idea, it was as impossible to dislodge him as it was one of Kakashi's dogs.

"What do you mean, a test?" He asked instead, frowning.

He gave the pair a brilliant smile as they finally got out of easy staring distance of the Hyuuga home. "We're going to the bar."

She nods a little chewing on her lower lip at not knowing what exactly Obito was planning. Sometimes Obito's ideas worked out poorly and the feeling that this would be one of those times only got worse with the announcement of going to a bar.

"Sensei, we're underage." A futile statement but she had to try to reason with him anyway. Her father would kill her if he found out.

Sasuke stared, then stared a bit more, then decided that he probably shouldn't even be surprised. Why was he surprised? This was exactly the kind of thing Obito would come up with.

And their being underage wasn't going to stop him. It wasn't like he didn't know.

"Shouldn't Hinata get to decide her own celebration?" He demanded instead.

"And when Naruto is back, she can pick what she wants the whole team to do." He said it like there was nothing odd here, nothing odd at all. Then again he clearly feared Kushina more than his own clan head and Hiashi combined so...

"That'll be in a couple days, so nothing to worry about, see?"

Obito beamed at them both, then headed straight toward his favorite bar. It was one of the safer ones, so he was confident taking them there.

Hinata looks at Sasuke, clearly unsure of how good of an idea this is. Usually when Obito says there's nothing to worry about there's plenty to worry about. "Can't we just go eat cake?"

She follows along slowly hands wrapped around her waist hugging herself. Her father was going to disown her for sure if this goes as poorly as she's expecting. Understandably she's starting to look a little pale and they haven't even arrived at the bar yet.

Sasuke knows Obito well enough by now to be fully aware that whenever their sensei adopted that particular everything will be fine, this is all totally normal! tone, things were definitely neither fine nor normal. Any bar that would allow obviously underage shinobi in would be shady enough, and any that would allow a pair that were as obvious as himself and Hinata ... was Obito planning to pull rank to get in?

It doesn't escape Sasuke's notice that Hinata looks and sounds thoroughly unsure about the whole thing as well. They've known each other too long for her unhappy stance to be anything close to subtle, and after a moment of frowning at her, Sasuke reaches out and grabs Obito's arm, pulling him slightly to the side to glare at him.

"Sensei, you know how Hiashi can get." He keeps his voice low, pitched a little out of Hinata's range of hearing. "Do you really think this is a good idea?"

He paused, honestly thinking about it for a moment before he reached up and ruffled Sasuke's hair. "Okay, I'll give you guys a little room to breathe how does that sound? Grocery store, then back to my place mm?"

That wouldn't make it as better as he probably thought but it should settle the pair, and nothing horrible could happen then, right?

Hinata actually looks stunned that whatever Sasuke said seemed to have worked. The look of relief that they aren't heading to a bar anymore is short lived. The frown that forms is almost dejected.

"Sounds like you're perfectly okay with corrupting children." She says flatly, shoulders slumped a little and just a little reproachful that he's still set on this idea of intoxicating minors.

Sasuke ducks out of range of Obito's ruffling hand before it makes contact with his hair, well-aware of what purpose it had -- as if he were still a kid again, though if that were Obito's intent then what in the world was he doing trying to get them alcohol --

"Why are you so set on this anyway, sensei?" Sasuke follows Hinata's question with another one of his own, eyebrow raised and shoulders tensed in a combative hunch. A sudden suspicion sets in after a second, though, and his expression suddenly grows sharper: "Are you trying to come up with blackmail material?"

"You'll need to know how you handle alcohol sooner or later. Better sooner than later with me as Hokage now." He paused a beat, then leaned after Sasuke more quickly to catch the ruffle.

"And I have plenty of blackmail for you Sasuke, I've known you since you were born."
