"By the way, you even used a Sealing Jutsu for that registration. Did it have some deeper purpose?"
After Chiba thanked him, Kakashi, who understood Chiba well, did not say anything further. However, the two did not go eat right away either. Instead, they each sat at their desks, dealing with some work. About thirty minutes later, Kakashi seemed to remember something and spoke up.
"Hmm?"
Chiba, who seemed to be writing something, paused slightly before saying, "Didn't I tell you?"
"No."
Kakashi thought for a moment before answering.
Ever since Chiba began the registration process, their attention had been fixed on the possibility of an early infiltration. They had not paid any attention at all to the hidden trick Chiba had built into the registration.
Didn't I? Hearing Kakashi's words, Chiba frowned and thought back, an uncertain, questioning thought passing through his mind.
"Oh, then wait a moment. I'll write out the entire testing procedure for you again."
After thinking it over, Chiba suddenly remembered that he really had not told Kakashi about this. Hirohiko did not know either. He immediately crumpled up the half-finished sheet he had been writing on, took out another scroll, and began writing anew.
So... he was actually writing out the testing procedure too...
Watching Chiba's movements, Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly as that thought crossed his mind.

Moreover, it looked quite lengthy. Chiba had even taken out the highest-grade kind of scroll and was writing in the tiniest script.
"Here. It's all on there."
Forty minutes later, Chiba handed the completed scroll to Kakashi.
By then, Kakashi had also finished today's construction report
