“At least,” Arakaki agreed. He took a deep breath, tipping his head back and hearing his neck crack. He straightened. “We should enforce the same penalty we would for any ANBU who abandoned a mission without cause. He did give the mission desk notice so it could be reassigned. That’s in his favor.”
“Half an hour of warning barely deserves the name,” Hiruzen said. He still sounded tired. Disappointed, perhaps, in Kakashi, and in himself. “But I take your point. I believe the current penalty stands at a fine of a month's wages.”
“Yes.” A month’s wages to a man who spent less than half his pay each month, and had inherited the not inconsiderable Hatake estate, though with all the baggage attached. It wouldn’t hurt Kakashi—he’d barely notice it—but it would send the right message to the rest of ANBU. “So we’ll impose the fine and refer him to Psych for further evaluation. I’ll make the arrangements. He’ll have to pass a psychological as well as a physical fitness exam before he returns to duty when he recovers.”
If he recovers. Which the medics had said was assured. Kakashi’s skull fracture and concussion had been treated in the field within the critical first twenty-four hours. He’d be fine.
Hiruzen nodded and picked up his pen again, tapping it idly on the stack of folders.
“As for Ginta,” said Arakaki. He hissed a long breath through pursed lips. “A months’ pay and house arrest until he is fully recovered. He stays confined to the Sakamoto estate when he is not receiving medical treatment or rehabilitation. With a guard.”
That would get his attention. |
