Title: Trouble Lurking
Fandom: Naruto
Character(s): Orochimaru, Iruka, (Anko and Gai mentioned)
Rating: PG
Words: 150

Summary: Orochimaru wasn’t sure his youngest Genin had ever heard about this thing called tact.

Author’s Note #1: Weeeeell, I count anything between 100 and 500 words as a drabble :P

Author’s Note #2: In my personal fandom (that is filled with the same type of massive time paradoxes as Kishi-sensei has in canon) Orochimaru was Iruka, Anko and Gai's Genin team leader (because I'm evil like that).

Disclaimer: Kishimoto Masashi should be God.

Sometimes Orochimaru wasn’t at all sure his youngest Genin student had ever heard about this wondrous thing called tact. Iruka-kun had a tendency to blurt out the first thing that came to his mind, not that Anko-san or Gai-kun were any better – the three of them together was a diplomatic incident waiting to happen. It was unclear to him what Hiruzen-sensei – sorry, Sandaime Hokage-sama – had been thinking when he assigned Team Orochimaru a B-rank diplomatic mission to Kumo of all places.

“You can count on me, Orochimaru-sensei!” Iruka shouted happily when he was asked to track down an important scroll that had gone missing in Kumo’s public library – a scroll that no one seemed to be able to locate – the teacher winced at the loud voice and had to bite back an angry comment as the young buy added: “I’m so much better with scrolls then these illiterate Kumo peasants.”
