Who: Sasuke and Obito
When: Sept 8th, midday
Where: Chez Obito
What: Screwy information is everywhere, and Sasuke wasn't born patient. Continued from here.

Sasuke had taken Obito at his word. He'd sent the message nearly as soon as he'd left the hospital and had spent the time in between hearing back to locate a copy of the gossip rag that had left Adela half-blinded. It had been infuriating to pay for it -- not least when his own name and the names of relatives graced most of its ludicrous claims -- but he was holding a copy in one clenched fist when he knocked on his teacher's door.

"Sensei?" He called, listening for any telltale sounds of movement. Obito had said now, but it was probably entirely possible he'd been held up somehow. That mostly meant that if enough time passed, Sasuke was just going to break in through a window.

He glowered at the door, waiting.
thebestuchiha: (Let me think here.)

While he thankfully had a designated window for that, it wasn't needed this time and he came hurrying up behind him. "Oi oi don't break down the door." He reached past him and pushed it open. "In."
thebestuchiha: (A beat of solemn)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-09-15 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
He reached out, catching Sasuke by the shoulders and turning him bodily to point him further into the house. "When I said in I meant past the doorway." His tone was quiet though, and he toed off his shoes after releasing the boy.

"It's not okay Sasuke. It's not that it was believed that worries me, people always believe things, it's just a matter of how many do. What worries me is that anyone managed to reach her. I'm taking care of it, but that unfortunately doesn't mean I can fix what happened to her."

He gestured into the house. "Shoes off, livingroom, I'll be there with tea, which you're going to sit and drink, in a minute, got it?"
thebestuchiha: (I'll come out there if I have to!)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-09-15 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
"It made it to Kiri at least, so it's not as local as it seems." He let out a soft breath and gave a shake of his head. "I've had to take care that Gai and Kakashi have an eye on them since Adela's situation because I don't want someone taking a shot at them, Jounin or not, before the security breach that let this happen is fixed."

He was making the tea as he spoke, able to see Sasuke from his position while he put it together, taking a deep breath and staring intently at the kettle. "Someone in the village hasn't been located yet, if they're helping orchestrate. I sincerely wish I could believe that wasn't the case. I can't after this."

He brought out the tea as soon as it was ready, putting it on the table in the livingroom.
thebestuchiha: (That's not happy at all...)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-10-26 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
He settled once the tea was passed out, then sipped at it, using it to keep himself from fidgeting overmuch. It wouldn't soothe Sasuke's nerves to do it. "I haven't, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. They're both elites, which means they already have enemies. Something like this is often seen as an excuse to act on that ill will."

He swirled his cup, watching Sasuke for a long moment before continuing. "As for motivations... it's nearly impossible to say. Sometimes, civilians are the ones you have to watch out for, and they aren't even under cover for another country. Once the forces have been worked over, we'll start to carefully look over the civilian contingent."
thebestuchiha: (Let me end that for you.)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-10-26 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Civilians have interests in things that are really of no concern to shinobi. However, sometimes we get civilians who believe that the shinobi are there strictly to be at their service. There's not to say we're not dealing with that now." He stared into his cup for a moment, pressing his lips together. "It is something I've been keeping a careful eye on."
thebestuchiha: (Allow me to stare.)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-10-31 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Coordinated efforts. The Yamanaka keep an eye on the civilians in-village as a whole and keep up to date on what is relevant with them, while the shinobi gossip circles cover the common rumors that circulate. Those in the intel division bring me anything of concern or relevance. We have some people on the outside who work extensively gathering information beyond the village either as ANBU assignments or long term recon."
thebestuchiha: (I'm totally on top of this.)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-11-10 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"It honestly isn't that big of a risk. It's still rumors, and rumors fade and get overridden. This just took the rumors to more people and we were unprepared. It won't happen again. If another comes out, we'll handle it securely."
thebestuchiha: (Sideways smile)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-11-16 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
"And then we make it look like we're afraid of the paper. It becomes a weapon. No, better we put in a few safeguards, things they can't print about, and leave them working for us instead of against us in a place where we can't get to them."
thebestuchiha: (You have to be kidding)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-11-30 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Sasuke. I hate to be the one to have to break the illusion you seem to have here, but there are plenty of ways a shinobi can enforce rules they set in place. Besides, any other major village is likely to be a lot more strict than we are."
thebestuchiha: (That's not happy at all...)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-12-08 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Killing them off would be the first line of defense in other villages, but how do they get their information? Who do they go through? Do they have someone in the ranks? If not, do they just make things up? If they don't know what's at stake, they will Sasuke, and the village will not be put in danger because of it. Things like this have a tendency to grow if you kill off one piece while uncertain of the whole thing."
thebestuchiha: (Well you know....)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-12-14 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's just it. All of those were rumors already free-floating in the village. That they got consolidated only means that someone has a finger on that pulse." He shook his head on a soft sigh. "You have to look at them as an untrained ward, not an enemy piece."
thebestuchiha: (Well you know....)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-12-16 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
"No, if we're lucky this is someone we can train into a wieldable protection."
thebestuchiha: (I'm totally on top of this.)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-12-17 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then they will be dealt with." His tone was gentle, but firm. Clearly he had no intent to allow a hostile force linger in his village.
thebestuchiha: (You have to be kidding)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-12-25 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
"The nature of the rumors and the degree of sensitive information conveyed."
thebestuchiha: (You have to be kidding)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2014-12-30 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
"And what information does that give you?" He tilted his head, watching him intently.
thebestuchiha: (Guarded thoughts.)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-01-06 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, isn't it? I'll make sure that the matter is taken care of, and we'll use these clues to focus in on the troublemakers. It's usually those that don't mean harm that do the worst kinds of damage."
thebestuchiha: (I like that idea.)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-01-08 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Having training means that we, as shinobi, have aims when we use information. Someone with no aims has no end desire and thus doesn't bother to control what happens. You see?"
thebestuchiha: (Sideways smile)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-01-10 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
"For now we follow up the leads they gave us and find them, of course. There are already people on it."
thebestuchiha: (Bwaha I got you)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-01-12 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"They're one of the groups focused on it, yes." He inclined his head, amused that he was fishing. "It's not really your skill set at the moment, did you want to get into it?"
thebestuchiha: (Heee you're so cute!)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-01-13 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
"You learn to be social or know people who are, typically, to start." He laughed at the look on his face.
thebestuchiha: (One huge grin.)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-01-14 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Who said anything about amateur?" He was grinning though, delighted with the look his student was sporting.
thebestuchiha: (Bwaha I got you)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-01-22 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I do." He leaned over, ruffling up his hair. "SO stop worrying so much."
thebestuchiha: (Looking both back and forward.)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-02-07 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's the worst kind, really." He shook his head. "Satisfied it's all in hand though?"
thebestuchiha: (Bwaha I got you)

[personal profile] thebestuchiha 2015-02-13 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
"That's right." He flashed him a grin, then settled in to feed his student while he had him.
