Well, this was going to be interesting. A jounin he'd never heard of claiming to have information about Sousetsu, Sousetsu's shadow dealings, and all that stuff that he was still completely in the dark about. Joyous days, when you where stuck with a metric fuckton of inept code breakers that refused to even try, or outright couldn't, break the ciphers on the records, and there where just enough loyal commanders left that refused to spill beans on their preferred Hokage, so he was only able to gather tiny bits of the cipher keys. Not enough to be useful, though. Typical. Nothing was ever easy in his life, least of all in relation to his Hokageship.
Oh well. Maybe he'd get some useful information from this one. There was some promise, or at least an illusion toward, information being shared. It would be new information to him anyway, so he'd take it. He needed to know what happened while he was gone; but not the public information that everyone had. He needed the stuff that even most of the Jounin wouldn't know, the stuff that was locked behind the ciphers and codes that he was having zero luck cracking. So he was more willing to give this persona a meeting immediately; or nearly so; he'd be alerted to the request the day prior, but it was too late for him to get anything done. However, he was able to speed through the most important paperwork and such, which allowed him to clear his entire afternoon, and send the majority of the bothersome aides that would interrupt them away.
Now, there was still a chance of being bothered, but that would be one of his kids, or Michizuka, or Naota, or Amaya, or someone that he wasn't going to destroy for being a bother. Either way, they should be able to get some work done; and he wasn't above admitting that he was... interested. What little he'd gather was that this Jounin had been locked up over some mishap around a murder? Or something. It was confusing; but he was curious, so he'd humor them. That, and he needed to be sure he didn't have a problem Jounin on the loose; so there was that. He'd decide if he needed to be worried or not by how this meeting went; but he was rather hopeful that he'd have a neutral party at the least; he didn't see himself having enough karma to cash in to grab a loyal, or active, Jounin out of this. He'd take neutral and be happy enough with it.
Settled in his chair, he was keeping busy flipping through a pile of paperwork nearly as thick as his arm was long; another in a long line of new laws or trade agreements that seemed to pass his desk with alarming frequency. That they where so far behind on economic and social policy updates was... not good. It was a miracle that the village was still functioning, really. He really needed to get on getting an emergency council together to just handle all of this shit so that he could focus on everything else he had to do. Like this meeting. That he needed to focus on. Weeeeeee.
