Little Misfits

Chapter Twenty Seven: Files

Third person POV____

Shikamaru and Akumi stood before the Hokage.

"Due to the observations made by your superiors in the Chunin Exams you to have been selected to be promoted. Not only for you performance on stage or in the previous parts in the exam but because of your impressive feats in the line of duty." Tsunade glanced at Akumi for a split second before continuing.

" Also due to the recent attacks and the loss of some of our forces you will be annexed to other teams and also continue rotation with your current teams." Tsunade stated as a chunin leveled shinobi handed them both a Green vest.

"Thank you Tsunade-sama for allowing us to serve our village to the best of our abilities." Akumi bowed, at this point with the losses they took there was no way she would be allowed to decline the promotion.

"It's an honor to be recognized and I will do my best to protect our village." Shikamaru murmured seeing a bit disinterested. vi

"Good, You two are now dismissed." Tsunade waved off and both newly appointed Chunin bowed and left the office.

"So you were promoted as well." he stated and she shrugged. "I saw this coming a mile away. Although I am surprised that you were also chosen." Akumi stated and Shikamaru snorted.

"I was fine as I was, I don't even now why I entered those stupid exams." He grumbled. Personally Shikamaru did not know Naruto's twin sister, But lately Ino had started to get along with her and according to Ino, Akumi was not that bad.

Akumi nodded not knowing how to reply to Shikamaru's comment.

"Don't you wonder what your second Team will be?" Shikamaru asked curiously and she shook her head. "I will be assigned to my previous Genin team. They all became Chunin and Jonin, Although the Genin instructor we had died and we will probably have a replacement." Akumo stated with a shrug of indifference.

Shikamaru slightly stiffened at how casually she had said that. " We weren't that close and it happened years ago." She stated noticing his reaction.

He slowly nodded. "Well I guess I will be the only one meeting whole new set of teammates." ______________________

"Alright Sakura, Make sure you help Sasuke. Is that understood." Tsunade stated and Sakura gave her a curt nod.

Her mission was simple and they really weren't pressed for time. Sakura and Sasuke were to go to the Uchiha compound and retrieve files and documents left by the once great Uchiha Police Force. Most of the things that had once been at the station had already been gathered and carefully stored away in the sub basements of the Hokage Tower and were under lock and key.

Now they had to get the files that were stored in the Uchiha compound. Any case they took they always made three copies of them. One for the Hokage tower where they could be used by the any personnel that was cleared to view them.

The second copy was for the Uchiha Police station where it would be used to solve cases and for evidence if it ever needed to be used again. It was mostly so that they wouldn't always have to go back and forth in the tower and so that there were no security breeches because they were always going in and out and so that other files that were stored there from the Anbu weren't in risk of the prying eyes of the Uchiha.

Finally there was the third copy which had yet to be moved. The copy the Head of the clan kept when the entire clan had been there they nobody was concerned with an intruder coming in and taking the files and the Uchiha had been a very close knit community where everyone knew each other and were mostly all trained shinobi so the chances an imposter or intruder would come in were very slim and they would quickly get caught.
