ajremixWriting when you can barely think is probably not the best thing to do. And, yes, the best scavanger hunts are the ones that get you drunk and chased by mall security. Which makes this based on a true story XDD

Summary: The jounins do their annual survival week. Which includes a…. ‘different’ sort of survival.
There was a damn good reason the instructors took their ‘annual survival week’ the same time their students did. Of course, the students themselves didn’t realize it- thinking their teachers were snug and cozy in their homes while they spent a miserable, dangerous animal, trap filled week in some god-forsaken forest/jungle/swamp/mountain/whatever.
The students, of course, were wrong. Not wrong in the sense that they may think. Instructor survival was a different sort of lesson all together.
This week was in Chosun Country. During a time when Gai- who had a distant cousin or something in that area –told him about a contest of wills and intelligence and great strength hosted by the sulsa- the closest equivalent to the ninja -of that country.
Well, who could turn down a contest like that?
Which, of course, didn’t immediately lead them to believe that Gai, Kakashi and Asuma would be running through some crowded street market, jostling people out of their way while the local police shouted at them and blew whistles and had drunken enough souju to have it leaking out their ears.
They saw Gai’s whatever-the-relation ahead of them- they could only remember and call him by his title sobunim, respecting one teacher to another. He waved at them from where he had their vehicle all set for a speedy getaway (because he was least susceptible to the local drink and he knew he way around- not to mention knew the language) and was yelling ‘bali, bali!’
The three jounin had no idea what that meant, but with the authorities on their heels, they had a pretty good idea.
The rules to this competition forbade them to use any of their ‘special skills’ so they had to make do with jumping over tables and wheelbarrows (and occasionally ducking people) to bide them some time.
They jumped onto the vehicle, slurring ‘go! go!’ and nearly fell out as they lurched onto the crowded streets.
The sobunim looked over at them as best he could from the driver’s seat, rattling off some questions in a language their brains weren’t in the condition to pretend to understand. But Gai held out the three flags that were hidden in the market and laughed so loudly everyone else had no choice but to join in. Asuma, with all the steadiness he could muster, poured himself and the other jounins three shots of souju- one for each flag captured –and they cheered themselves on to the next leg of their scavenger hunt.
Yeah. There was a damn good reason students didn’t partake in this ‘survival week’.
Translations:
Chosun – another name for Korea
Sulsa – the Korean elite, masters of espionage, etc.
Souju – a Korean alcoholic drink, I’m told it’s very potent
Sobunim – teacher, instructor
Bali – hurry, quickly
