In the silence of his empty office, Kakashi started tapping his fingers against the surface of his desk,
their tiny strikes letting out a ‘ton, ton’ sound. Somehow, the rhythm of his fidgeting helped him collect his scattered thoughts.
As the name implied, the Mission Roster was a document that held the details for all the upcoming missions of every single shinobi in the village. What sort of mission they’d be on, how long those missions would take, every possible detail of their schedule was written down.
Kakashi was checking the Mission Roster far more carefully than usual, because of a certain circumstance.
His eyes slowly glanced towards the edge of his desk, where an envelope had been safely placed to make sure it didn’t get buried under the piles of paperwork.
