"I hate paperwork" says Shinsei as he lifts up his pen and starts to work on the piles of paper lumped on his desk. Just as he finishes the first stack of papers he remembers that he hasn't left this place since yesterday."Man, is a break and some fresh air too much to ask for?" He asks himself this question as he begins the second stack of papers in front of him. After a couple of hours he takes a deep sigh and relaxes at his desk. looking at his desk, he notices he left just one paper. Regretfully, he takes his pen and works on the paper. After a minute he puts the pen back down attempts to fall asleep.
"SIR!" yells one of his assistants, as he hurries through the door. "We have some problems in the village sir!"
Shinsei thinks to himself, Isn't this Kirigakure? Since when did we not have any problems? Shinsei quickly sits straight on his chair. "ugh. Problems? How many are we talking about? And what are they?" Shinsei asked these questions regretfully, because he knew that now he couldn't have any more relaxing time. Shinsei then looked at the man who he was talking to. Noticing that the man's knees were shacking and his hands were trembling, Shinsei guessed that these problems weren't as minor as he first thought.
The assistant's voice was soft and quiet as he spoke" Well to start us off two villagers are arguing that they are better than the other in every aspect. Another thing is that the baker is about to kill a customer, who said his bread tasted like stale fish. And to finish off this list, we've been getting reports that say that there is a secret organization here in Kirigakure, that wants to overthrow you as the Mizukage."
Shinsei listened carefully as the assistant spoke the words he had to say. Reaching into his desk, Shinsei pulled out three needles that were the size of half his thumb. He handed the three needles the the assistant, who had a confused look on his face. " OK, here's the solution to the first problem. Take the three needles and go to the two fighting villagers. Then bring the two villagers to an exceptionally large building, but it doesn't matter what building it is, as long as it is large. Then you tell then that you will jump onto the building and throw the three needles in three random directions. And one of them is to grab all three needles at the exact same time. Whoever grabs all three needles at the exact same time, is better than the other one in all aspects. Oh yea, but they are not allowed to use chakra nor any type of jutsu in this competition. They are to do it with their own skill.
The assistant listened carefully as the Mizukage spoke. When he finished the assistant had a very confused look on his face. "Um...One question isn't that impossible if they are to grab all three at the exact same time, without using chakra?" The assistant thought that all the work was finally getting into the Mizukage's head.
"impossible? Yes it is impossible. If they tell you it is impossible then you tell them word for word, what I am about to tell you. Yes it is impossible just as it is impossible to be better than anyone in every aspect. We all have something that makes us stand out, we all have something in which we are greater than everyone else. And as an example even though I'm your Mizukage you are better than me in a lot of things, one of them is that you have more patience than I ever will.
The assistant stared wide eyed as the Mizukage explained what to do in just such short time. "wow! you are truly amazing..Now what do we do about the other two things?" The assistant suddenly had a boost of self confidence when Shinsei told him that he has more patience than Shinsei. Smiling, the assistant waited for a response.
Shinsei, looking extremely tired now, wished this would hurry up soon. "Hmm. For the baker problem, test four different pieces of bread from different sections of his shop. If the customer is telling a lie then make the customer work for the baker for a day. Now if the bread does taste list stale fish then make the baker re-make the bread, freash for the Customer." Shinsei said this with confidence because he knew that this was a trick the customer was trying to do, to get free bread. When Shinsei heard the part about a secret organization he almost laughed. He remembered that as a kid, he and his friends would play this same very trick on the previous Mizukage;s assistants. "Well don't worry about the secret organization, if they come then they come. And if they don't well...Oh well too bad for them eh?"
The assistant again stared at the Mizukage with amazement, he wondered how Shinsei could be able to give him solutions to the problems so fast. "Very well Sir. I will carry out the orders at once. Oh, and by the way there was someone looking for you earlier, I'm sorry I can't say who because I didn't really take a good look at them." With that the assistant ran out of the room to carry out the Mizukage's orders.
Shinsei was happy as he saw his assistant leave his office but he couldn't help but wonder who would be looking for him at this time? Leaving the though for another time, Shinsei again relaxed of his chair and shut his eyes in an attempt to sleep. His eyes flew open as he suddenly realized that his assistant might be as stupid as to jump onto the roof of this tower to throw the needles. Leaving that though also behind Shinsei again shut his eyes in an attempt to get what little sleep he could before someone inevitably bothered him with another question or worse, more paperwork!.
