"The chunin exams?" I inquired to the Hokage. I had taken my usual spot on the window sill and stared at him confused.
"Yes. We've already sent out notices to all the surrounding lords and leaders of the upcoming event. This year it's to be held here in the Leaf Village.Your task is to set up proctors, the tests and exams, as well making sure the village is secure and ready for the incoming of visitors."He said before taking a sip of his tea
"How long do I have?"I asked already fearing the answer.
"Two days to get the proctors, tests and exams ready. As for safety you have a little over a week."
"I should have known as much. Like I told Asuma, I can't even get three days off after three years." I said shaking my head. "Am I running the entire exam or just the preliminaries?"
"I thought it best if you ran the entirety of it. You're the most qualified after all."He said as if it was obvious
"Can't another jounin do it or a chunin?" I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose knowing all to well the reply I was about to get. This was going to make for a long month.
"No. Only you."Hiruzen said standing up with some papers in his hand "I've already got the dates laid out of the upcoming events all you need to do is fill them up."
"That's easier said than done and you know that."
"I know you can do it or I wouldn't have given it to you."
"Maybe I should start slacking off in my work so that I only get crap assignments and get to be lazy." I joked taking the paper out of his hands. I studied the dates and the list of informed leaders that will be sending their own shinobi as well as the ones that intended on attending the Finals. Among them I saw the Kazekage of the Sand Village. Security is going to be a real pain to handle.
"I know your capabilities all to well Shiori to know better." He chuckled. "Do you have anyone in mind?"
"A few. If their schedules are free and they're willing," I said giving a small smirk
"I know that smirk. You're up to something."
"Just one question."I asked mischievously "I have free rein on who and where I choose the exams to take place?"
"Remember that you're testing them for chunin not jounin."
"Right. Right. No worries. Ill head out now and find the proctors. I already got the places in mind and the people. I'll be back here at the end of the day with a report." with that said I jumped out the window and headed for the dango shop where I was sure she would be.
"Anko!" I yelled out causing the spunky woman to drop the dango she was eating. She shot a nasty glare my way.
"First thing you do after coming back to the village is make me lose my food. I sense a pattern here." She said a smirk showing up on her face
"Just a coincidence I assure you," I winked taking the seat across from her "That bet was completely in my favor. You were just too drunk to realize it."
"You're probably right." She agreed "So are you here just to see me and catch up or do you want something? You got that look in your eye that tells me you are up to something."
"How would you feel about hearing the screams and tasting the fear of several candidates as they try to battle it out in the Forest of Death to get some scrolls?" I said innocently
