Jasper pushed open the door to the Jōnin Station with a casual attitude. His face was neutral, despite the many scowling eyes he received from his co-workers.
Not many liked him. But who was he to care what they thought? Unless someone had the balls to face him one-on-one, then he remained detached.
Inside, he made his way over to the small, cluttered desk at the corner, where a young ninja, probably fresh out of training, was focused on filing paperwork.
Without any ceremony, Jasper pulled out his notepad and pen and began writing about his observation. He reported how there's been no change in Naruto's behaviour, and that there's nothing to honestly report.
The young ninja received the report, nodded, and then scribbled down his words. The lad was clearly used to taking Jasper's simple idea of what a proper report should consist of. But the last time he complained, Jasper threatened him.
Whyever the Hokage even put up with a shinobi like Jasper in the village was beyond anyone's knowledge.
Jasper, feeling that his time was already wasted, decided to wrap it up quickly. Why bother elaborating? This was just a formality, after all. He didn't care about Naruto's condition or story; he just wanted to get things over with and move on to something more interesting.
As he turned to leave, a sudden thought struck him—something to break the dull routine. He had no real reason for it, but lately, he'd been craving a bit of mischief.
Alice was out on her mission, something he knew she wouldn't return from until this evening. So he was free to do as he pleased without her prying eyes.
It was honestly because of her that he refrained from doing anything stupid. But with her not around, the idea of doing something unpredictable, maybe even a little provocative, suddenly seemed appealing.
