Where: Academy and surrounding areas.
When: Starting just after noon on the 3rd, goes all day.
Who: Anyone who wanders in
Notes: Iruka had not planned to cover explosive tags today.

The first explosion had come from the far end of the building, and hadn't immediately set off any alarms. Another teacher might have had a mishap while teaching something about sealing.

The second explosion had all of the students tense, and the third had them hurrying out of their desks as he waved them in. Just in time too, because it wasn't a moment later that there was another boom, just overhead, and some of the recently vacated seats had rubble blown into them. It wouldn't have killed anyone, that he could tell, but he didn't know how many more were coming, and he wasn't going to risk the safety of the kids, even as more explosions sounded from beyond the Academy walls.

It was bad, the whole situation was very bad, and he snatched up one of the girls when another blast knocked her off her feet, keeping track to make sure that everyone was with him as he hurried them to the underground parts of the building. It was rarely used for anything but storage, but if the explosions were all coming from the roof, it would be the safest place until he was sure that they'd stopped.

The kids resisted staying put, of course, and as soon as he made sure everyone was uninjured and would not leave the area, he hurried out to help the other teachers as well. His kids would be okay, but he needed to get outside, and make sure that the people out there didn't need help too.

Some of the younger students had been scheduled for Taijutsu practice around that time, and he had no idea how bad it would be. The teacher in charge of them was new, and when he got out there, he was right to be concerned. It was chaos. And not just at the Academy either.

Where: Konoha, from atop the Hokage monument.
When: June 3rd, noon.
Who: A jounin of the Intelligence department.
Notes: The war may have started, but the damages are only just beginning.

The act of running laps around the village was not a new one, and was, in fact, something that numerous shinobi did on a fairly regular basis. Because of this, one more person making it part of their training routine when they were in the village was nothing unusual, or even really worth notice. The fact that the person in question was decently respected among his peers just meant that his movements went unremarked the day he started running up over the top of the Hokage monument instead. It was a slightly less taken path, given the steep angle, but for those who wanted a challenge, it was well known as being an excellent route.

This day, to those that saw him, would seem like any other as he vanished up to the top of the mountain on a solitary run, making his way along the heads of the Hokages. That the timing was carefully planned to not coincide with most others and their training was important, and the fact that as he reached the third Hokage's head there was no one even remotely close to him was... excellent.

At that point, he stopped running, senses open to the village around him even as he unpacked seal after seal, making sure to touch each explosive note with chakra on his fingers. It didn't take long, he'd primed them all before his run, and then the lack of wind on this particular day, as well as the blue skies, showed just how perfect it was.

A set of seals had a wind jutsu being used, forceful enough to sent the papers flying over the village like a hailstorm of confetti, but careful enough that the seals weren't damaged in the process.

Then, the explosions started, each landing piece of paper being followed by a percussive boom.

Suffice to say that the man didn't linger, escaping swiftly away to meet his rendezvous beyond the village boundaries. It wouldn't do to stick around when his coworkers realized who it had to have been, because his life was going to be used on much better things than that. Perhaps, even, the hidden villages would stop losing their traction if the alliance got what they wanted out of this.

Konoha would thank him for it, in the end.

Note: The chunin exam post will go up as soon as all details are resolved and those attending for testing will be expected to be there by the afternoon of the 3rd as the exam will start on the 4th. Any Konohas thus participating would have most likely left the village by this point, even if just to jump the queue on the travel seal early that morning instead of traveling over land.

There will be extensive damages! Many rooftops will have been blown apart, collapsing, and the injuries will be widespread. This happened in the middle of the school day and the Academy is close to the monument, so there will be injured students along with everyone else. Enjoy the chaos!

notveryspecial

Who: Sakura Haruno and Obito Uchiha
When: December 25th, Year 68
Where: The Hokage office
Notes: War is coming. Keeping secrets from the Hokage is no longer an option.

...She couldn't say that she entirely agreed with her teacher's decision. She also couldn't say she didn't argue with it until she was given sufficient reason for it. Even if war was on the horizon (and that it was closer didn't mean it wasn't always on the horizon: if her current master knew one was coming now, her original teacher never stopped expecting one) she remained nervous about sharing something so...precarious.

It wasn't that she wanted to endanger anyone potentially under her command, or anyone else in Konoha for that matter. It was just that she wanted to endanger Shisui even less. It was possible, even if she had the sense not to admit that, she'd rather endanger very many people than him.

She wasn't unaware that it was an incorrect priority to have as a shinobi, though, and she wasn't about to defy her master's wisdom and insistence on this matter. It wasn't like he couldn't tell the hokage himself if she refused, anyway. (She'd wonder why he didn't do it himself, but it was probably because he thought too kindly of what the Hokage thought of her simply due to the promotion)

She frowned slightly, settling her nerves finally, and gave the door a firm knock. She paused a moment, long enough to determine no one else was present in the room, and then quietly pressed through the door into the room.

"...Lord Hokage. I apologize for interrupting you, but the matter I wish to discuss shouldn't be done over paper."

Who: Argilla and Gale.
When: April 29th.
Where: Southern part of Tea.
Notes: A little lunch with former aggressors. Aka Gale and Argilla eat them so cannibalism abounds here sorry.

( What's a little lunch between comrades )

highly_strung

WHO: Sunalings and various friends.
WHEN: All throughout the month of May.
WHERE: Sunagakure.
NOTES: Rasa is dead, tensions are all over the place and.. Well, at least things can't get any worse?

( We have made mistakes, but we've learned from them. )

fourredstripes

Where: Sunagakure

When: Late May (Haven't narrowed it down yet)

Who: Baki, Gale and Argilla

Notes: Baki gives the two foreign nin an introduction to Suna and they probably discuss boring politics and stuff like that. Or will they?

( Pardon our mess )

notbalanced

Where: Ame's borders

When: um. May? I think. I will narrow it down later

Who: Juugo and Lee and some bad people

Notes: Juugo meets and helps Lee out against some ambushers, and Lee calms Juugo down in return
( I help you; you help me )

silverterror

Where: Water's Capital
When: May 4th
Who: Yuffie, Sephiroth, and Kisame
Notes: This was really not how the evening was supposed to go.

( No really )

noboatbigenough

Where: The Mizukage Spire, Kirigakure

When: May 3rd

Who: a whole clusterfuck of people, but definitely including Kisame, Sephiroth, Nanako, and Naoki

Notes: The attack on Yagura, the sealing of the Three Tails in Naoki, and all sorts of chaos.
( Go big or go extinct )

sound_council

Who: Kabuto and anyone who is interested in the visiting medic.
When : May 1st through 15th
Where: all around Konoha
Summary: Kabuto finishes up his trip by spending a month in the last place he wanted to return to. But it's a bad teacher who cannot hide his discomfort to teach willing students, so he does his best.
( traveling with a smile and a watchful eye )

abluntwind

Who: Temari and Rasa with mentions of Kankuro and Gaara.
When: April 30th to May 1.
Where: The Eastern stretch of desert between Suna and Alnokura.
Note: Ding dong Rasa and his guards are attacked.

( It didn't seem like it would go horribly at first. How wrong Temari was )

thelittleprincess

Who: Ami and Sasuke
When: Backdated to May 18
Where: Konoha Training Grounds
Notes: Training Log is a go!

Realistically, Ami fully understood that the reassignment was only logical. Sasuke was still, in many ways, recovering from his ordeal. Shisui was a strong, versatile shinobi, who was needed more than ever as tensions rose internationally. On an intellectual level, she understood that perfectly. Really, she knew she should be happy; hadn't Shisui's limited time and frequent absences been a thorn in her side? Masanori was over the moon in regards to being assigned to Sasuke, and it was funny, seeing him so sincere with another person.

But Ami still felt like an afterthought. It was like having Itachi stop by and offer some tips during her self-training: like a consolation prize after being discarded.

She had never truly been discarded, she knew, but... she knew a lot of things. It was going to take a little while to wrangle her emotions into something more rational. Today would be the first step on that road, she assured herself as she waited for her new teacher.

not_thedragon

Who: Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Fugaku, old men.
When: 05/29, evening.
Where: The Room Where Serious Things Get Discussed AKA the front room probably.
Notes: Succession is a delicate matter, sort of.

( Sasuke had expected to be called in for a talk. )

abileunaspada

Who: Adela Milani
When: 04/16, late night by the time the report is turned in regarding the incident in the early afternoon.
Where: Hokage Tower
Notes: After dousing a fire and failing to admit a random kunoichi to hospital, Adela spent hours on the investigation of the area and writing the mission report with the exact right wording.

( Worst. Birthday. EVER. )

thebestuchiha

Where: Hokage Office
When: Late on the evening of the 18th of May.
Who: Obito and a baby turtle. And Gai, eventually.
Notes: He was not running that late but Gai apparently noticed anyway.

Obito had noticed that it had gotten dark a while ago, and while there was the niggle that said he should probably leave and eat soon, he just hadn't managed to find an end to the paperwork in a way that said it was something he could do yet. He was sure he'd manage it in an hour or so. Completely sure, but he'd told himself that an hour before that too, and hadn't since checked the time to realize how much time had passed.

The last thing he expected, after leaning down to retrieve a fallen paper though, was to end up nose to nose with a turtle smaller than his palm when he came up a moment later. Suffice to say, it put a pause in his thoughts for a moment on the paperwork front.

And then made sure the button was jammed when it declared that it had been sent to remind Obito how late it was, and demanded a sweet for its trouble.

awokentospring

Who: Rock Lee and Everyone~~~
When: Backdated to mid-April through the rest of the month
Where: Several of the shinobi villages and their outskirts (all except Konoha and Ame)

Notes:After gaining leave from the hospital, Lee sets out on a journey to take some of his darker thoughts out of his mind. He decided to see the world, or at least visit all the other shinobi villages, and hoped he would find some solace while seeing old rivals and making new friends.

( Sunagakure )

( Iwagakure )

( Kumogakure )

( Kirigakure )

[ooc: Lee will be visiting Ame during the attacks in May; he will return home after all of that cools down. Also, Lee spends 3 or 4 days in each given place but there's no need to specify any certain date.]

abileunaspada

Where: Konohagakure, at the banks of Naka River in Training Ground D.

When: May 14th

Who: Adela Milani (

abileunaspada) & OPEN

Notes: Training just isn't happening, so instead Adela's just dipping her feet in the river and getting lost in thought over life in general. There's been so much happening, and although she's been keeping a low profile, how much longer can that last?

--------------------

The river water was still cold, even with spring shifting more and more into summer-like temperatures. The sweaty kunoichi just sighed as she looked to the sky, using her towel to wipe off her forehead and setting her shoes beside her before she let her feet rest in the river. That'd help her cool off, but she didn't feel right. It was weird, that training wasn't really clearing her head, but...

There were too many rumors floating about between shinobi for her to ignore anymore. Sasuke was in hospital for a while or outright not around, and she didn't know why (though she was partially sure it was mission related, there was likely a lot more to it than that). There had been kidnapping attempts in the village -- thankfully, those were thwarted but it still happened. Again. And the whispers of increasing defenses for Konoha, and political unrest in other regions... Maybe there really was war on the way.

Adela just sighed, her eyes on the sky. A war. She was probably lucky to have a moment to breathe like this, even if she was in Konoha. Her thoughts were interrupted when she picked up on someone approaching - even if she couldn't tell how she knew at the moment. That was when she sat up, looking around and calling out (though at that point not bothering to get to her feet just yet), "Someone there?"

fateruination

Where: Uzushiogakure

When: Beginning of May (Before everything goes to hell)

Who: Pengin, Maniwa NPCs, and you! [Open]

Notes: Some of the young ones of Maniwa have gotten restless and thus are earning some pocket change by practicing their routines for any who are waling down the streets.

not_thedragon

Who: Sasuke and Iruka
When: After classes on 04/04, a good day to talk about death
Where: Iruka's office at the Academy
Notes: What shounen world happens without an abundance of dead parents?

( This probably should have been routine for a ninja at his age. )

not_thedragon

Who: Sasuke and friends, the children's television show that no child should watch
When: 05/10 - 05/13
Where: A hospital room shared with Kakashi and all the adults expressing affection that surrounds him
Notes: Physically, he's pretty healed up. He's mostly under observation, and his charts are very basic due to classified information.

( In some ways, quarantine had been relaxing. )
