71 [Tobi-Sensei??]
'Me! A sensei???'
"Congratulations Tobi-sensei!" Kakashi-san was giving me an eye smile again but I knew he was helping me along with calming things down…
"But Tsunade-sama, I can't teach! I..I..."
I was scrambling for words but she said, "It's alright, Tobi-kun, you don't have to worry about it, I am sure you'll do fine!! Now I want you to report to..." She started scrambling for documents on her desk while I was still panicking inside… she took out a scroll and passed it to me while saying, "...here go to the academy tomorrow and give this scroll to Iruka Umino, he will introduce you to the class and your job is to get as many people interested in pursuing the medical career as possible, after that there will be another class where genin's, chunin's and some Jounin's of our village, that I will select on basis of their chakra control will be there, you need to introduce the subject to them as well, but be real with them okay!"
I gave her a disbelieving stare, "You expect me to teach to Jounin's, Kakashi-san help me out here..." I turn towards Kakashi-san with a pleading look but he just waved his hand, I gave him a disbelieving stare but Tsunade-sama continued, "Also, according to the report you have the sword which was owned by Kisame Hoshigaki? An important delegation from Kiri is arriving soon to discuss an alliance, and the sword could become a key point in the negotiation, normally the loot from a shinobi would belong to you so the village will compensate you fully when everything is fully restored and the budget is set..." As she was about to explain further I interrupted her by hurriedly declining the offer, "It's alright, there is no need, I was just holding onto it cause I didn't know who to give this to..."
I took out a scroll and unseal a Fuma shuriken from it and using the smoke as a cover swiftly replace it with the hand of Kisame holding on to the sword and place the Fuma shuriken in my inventory…
As soon as I took it out the sword started wriggling and trying to escape so Kakashi-san took hold of it by its handle and held it up… I picked up the hand and removed the ring before placing both the items on her desk, "This is Kisame's hand and it had a ring on its finger, I don't know what it is or whether it is important to whatever organization they belonged to but Itachi was wearing a similar ring, just with the Kanji for 'Scarlet' on his..."
"Thank you for the work Tobi-kun!" she sealed both the items and the sword after that in a specially prepared scroll before saying, "Off you go then!"
"But… about the academy..." I was about to plead my case when Kakashi-san interrupted me by saying, "Ma...Ma… you worry too much Tobi-kun, see you in class tomorrow..."
After saying his piece he walked to the window and jumped out of it and Tsunade-sama went back to working on her stack of documents...
'Just like that...'
I turn around and walk back in a daze out of the office and out of the building…
'Tomorrow's gonna be a drag...'
---------------------------X0X----------------------------
I went out of the house early in the morning because mom was seriously getting on my nerves…
'She seems too happy about this arrangement...'
She was smiling broadly and waving me good luck, as I tried to ignore being seen by someone my mind went back to when I told mom about my suspended ANBU duties, she hasn't stopped smiling since…
'Well, it is better than her growing and worrying all the time...'
*Sigh*
I walk the familiar path and soon stood in front of the gates of the academy, instead of my haori, today I was wearing my Konoha Iryo-nin coat which was themed white… there were several kids sitting in circles and mingling about as I made my way into the building…
'Now if I remember it right… here it is...'
I knock on the staff room door and a chunin that I have never seen before opened the door, she had black hair with purple highlights and a heart-shaped face with a little pale skin, while I was examining her she seemed to have seen my Iryo-nin badge and coat as she said, "Sorry for asking, Medic-san but what are you doing here, is there an emergency?"
I was a little flustered upon hearing her voice and quickly replied, "Sorry for staring, I didn't remember having a female sensei last year… Umm, I am looking for Iruka-sensei..."
She gave me a weird look maybe for me calling Iruka-sensei as sensei before she stepped away and said, "Umino-san there is someone here to meet you!" I looked into the room and recognized several of the people before my eyes focused on my favorite sensei in my time during the academy, he looked a little tired as there was paperwork littering his desk but he recognized me after a second and said, "Tobi-kun, what are you doing here?"
He stood up from his desk as he was scanning me before he started smiling and said, "Congratulations on your promotion!"
I scratch the back of my head and replied, "Thank you! Iruka-sensei, I was told to give you this..." I threw towards him the scroll that Tsunade-sama gave me and he unrolled it and started reading it… he looked surprised before smiling and closing the scroll before saying, "Well let me be the first to welcome you here… Tobi-sensei"
His words drew a commotion from the nearby Chunin's as most of them taught me at some point in my academy career so they knew that I graduated just about 7 months ago…
"What do you mean Iruka-san" Kato-sensei the Taijutsu instructor asked in a bewildered manner…
"Exactly what I said… Tobi-kun here is appointed by Hokage-sama to be a special instructor to raise awareness about Iryo Ninjutsu among the younger generation..." He looked at the clock and said, "According to the instruction we need to collect every student and have a class in the training ground so hurry up everyone we have 10 minutes..."
As everyone scrambled to get their classes ready only one thought came to my mind...
'I am soo not ready for this...'
