Tsunade has had a full morning.

She woke up before dawn, in a very familiar position: sprawled on a counter in a bar, with a bartender watching her in bemusement. Unusually, when she offered to pay her tab and clear out, he told her she didn't owe anything.

Since then she has determined that she's probably not in a genjutsu, had breakfast in a shabby but determinedly clean hot seat eatery, taken a lengthy stroll, bought a lottery ticket and a newspaper, and found the local apothecary's shop, where she completed her initial reconnaissance by talking medicine with the apothecary. Now it's noon and she's sitting on the wall of the empty fountain, drinking tea from a vendor's cart and contemplating her next move.

Probably her next move will involve lunch.

Itachi was normally a very calm, composed individual.

He also tended to drink a nice amount of water first thing after doing his morning exercises.

Today, he happened to get up before the others for said exercises, and after getting prepared for the day, had been stricken with the intense urge to make an announcement. It was something he'd wanted to say for quite some time, after all, and now that he was here, what reason was there not to?

Only Tenten could possibly hear, and she very likely wouldn't tell when they got home to their dimension anyway thus...

Thus him standing over the most crowded part of the village market, during the busiest time of the morning, making sure that everyone below could hear him. He had an excellent way of projecting his voice without actually shouting.

"While I have been Hokage for years now, I never had any desire to hold the position. For that matter I never wanted to be ANBU either! I wanted to be a teacher! Academy, Jounin sensei, whichever, but a -teacher-! If anyone would like to come be my student now that would be -excellent- of you, because I want to see if I would have been any -good-!"

She had since she'd gotten here snuck off for her training. Now she was wondering why. What was the point? In fact, she had a whole house of potential sparring partners, and it was about time she tested out what her kids could do herself.

She was a jounin for kami's sake!

Thus she planted herself in the dojo in her snug pants and shirt and practiced -inside- for the first time since she got here. It felt -good-, and she had no idea why she'd been hiding that she was an active shinobi in the first place.

Though, if no one came to her, well, she'd have to go roam about the village, because really, she wasn't about to stand around and wait if she didn't need to!

"You spin my head right round, right round,
When you go down, when you go down, DOWN!"

Naruto was happy. Really happy. Last few days made her feel so content and fulfilled and she was glowing. There is smile plastered across her face as she sung a song she heard several minutes ago.

She jumped in spot as she took sips of water, spilling some on her black (and slightly over-sized) shirt. Then she got a very bright idea- she will visit Neji. She hadn't seen him since this morning and that called for a visit.
She placed cup down on counter and dashed through halls on manor. She... didn't exactly go immediately to Neji- she first made a round on first floor before jumping to every second stair as she made her way upstairs. What can she do- she felt full of energy and wanted to spend it.

In a mad dash, and without knocking, she slammed the door open of Neji's room, immediately jumping on his bed.

"NEJI! NEJI! NEJI! NEJI! I CAME TO SEE YOU 'TEBBANE!"

Itachi was sick, tethered to an IV for both medication and sustenance. Except for those pills of Kabuto's he had to swallow. And that's when he drank the water.

Now, the fact that he was sick at all didn't really seem to bother him, and it certainly didn't make him want to stay inside his soft sterile room, away from the harsh weather, dangerous conditions and opportunistic infections. He took one look at his surroundings, and yanked the tubing out of his arm. He threw on his cloak over his pants, and marched right out the front door into the snow tunnel. He even slammed it hard enough for part of the tunnel to collapse behind him.

"Good riddance..." he mumbled. "To medics... and their prison. They can't control me... anymore..."

It’s The Water

It seems that something has gotten into the village groundwater recently, and while it will naturally filter out in a few days, it sadly means that any water that goes unboiled that gets drunk will have a particular... effect on those drinking it. In fact, the only reason that the restaurants in the village have no trouble is because most of their water for the day is already stored up and filtered the night or even days before, with the taps only used for cooking. The rest of the village, namely the homes, have no such understandable precautions in place, and all the water in the village comes from the same underground source.

It seems that whatever got into the water, be it drugs or a natural reaction to the flowers the week before, everyone is feeling a bit... freed. Too freed. In fact, while everyone is still in full control of their minds and bodies, the desire to monitor one’s speech and actions is suddenly glaringly absent.

Are you normally one to bite your tongue and not respond to possibly baiting words? Are you one that resists the temptation to kiss your lover in public? Are you that person that doesn’t let the world see how entertained you are by it? This is but a tiny handful of what the water will unlock, as not only will people no longer have the urge to repress these sorts of desires, and will in fact find themselves speaking or acting before they can check their own reactions, because their inhibitions have been severely lowered.

Of course, if one still tries to moderate themselves, well, that’s up to them, but it very likely won’t work very well. Especially given that this will last for a good day at a time, and there’s no telling how fast anyone will actually realize what’s going on. But good luck everyone, and enjoy the chaos!

(Have fun everyone, and those of you not drugged... good luck.)
