"What happened here?" The Third Hokage asked, raising an eyebrow as the Anbu operatives dragged Nawaki into his office. He was in the middle of trying to figure out how to scrape together another team of medical-nin for the front lines when they interrupted him.
Nawaki, reeking of alcohol and barely able to stand, was the last thing Hiruzen expected to see.
"He's drunk," Hiruzen realized immediately, recognizing the signs.
"Lord Hokage,"
One of the Anbuoperatives said, stepping forward with a bow. "We were on patrol when we heard shouting coming from the Senju compound. When we arrived, we found this kid tied up in a tree, completely hammered. So we brought him here."
"This is ridiculous," the Third Hokage muttered, though there was a hint of a smile on his face. Nawaki was only thirteen, hardly old enough to be drinking. But then again, Hiruzen recalled that Tsunade and her friends had been sneaking sips long before they graduated from the academy.
Compared to them, Nawaki was pretty tame.
"Was he alone?" Hiruzen asked.
"Yes, Lord Hokage," Anbu operative confirmed.
Hiruzen sighed, guessing that Nawaki's drinking buddies had left him hanging, quite literally. "Take him home. I'll let Tsunade handle him when she gets back. She'll know how to deal with him."
Just as the Anbu operatives were about to haul Nawaki out, he suddenly lifted his head and stared at Hiruzen with bleary eyes. "I know you... You're the monkey!"
Hiruzen almost choked on his pipe, the ember flaring dangerously as he inhaled sharply.
Anbu operatives froze, staring in disbelief. The nickname "Monkey" was one only a few of Hiruzen's late peers had ever dared to use, and even then, it had been years since anyone had said it out loud.
"You little brat," Hiruzen muttered under his breath, not sure whether to laugh or rage.
But Nawaki wasn't finished. "My sister says you're a dirty old man, just like Jiraiya! Always trying to peek at her when she's in the bath!"
"Get him out of here, and tie him back up!" Hiruzen snapped, slamming his hand on his desk. The veins in his forehead throbbed with anger.
This had gone from funny to dangerous. If word of this got out, Hiruzen's reputation could be ruined. Being a bit of a pervert was one thing, but being accused of peeping on one's own students was something else entirely.
He could already imagine his wife's reaction-not to mention the potential fallout with the Daimyo.
