Save those scrolls!

Kuishinbou Satsuko

Yamato had to wonder what had happened to his carefree life? Things had really started to go awry when he first bumped into that Kuishinbou woman, an innocent enough interaction, but now he was on a full fledged mission with her? The fact that they had been assigned to work the mission together had been a shock in and of itself, but that was only the start of the surprises for the distressed chuunin. The two were called to the briefing room incredibly early in the morning, before even the sun had come up above the horizon. Yamato took note of the important mission details in one of his spare scrolls, planning on reviewing the information as they traveled. With the briefing concluded, Yamato prepared to travel to Forest Country with Satsuko, but then came surprise number two. With that terrifying smile of hers, the Kuishinbou revealed that they would not be travelling by foot, but instead ride using her clan's horses.

Yamato already thought that Satsuko was terrifying, so it was only appropriate that her mounts were just as, if not more, fearsome. The man was already reluctant to ride the horses, and that reluctance only grew upon meeting them. Appearing in a puff of smoke, both of the equines immediately displayed a great distaste for Yamato, stamping their feet in frustration at the mere sight of him. Combined with being taller, and much much bigger, than the chuunin, it was safe to say that he was more than intimidated. He had immediately begun stammering his objections to the woman, but she quickly shut him down, ushering him to go ahead and hop one the blue-green one known as Odayakanamizu. After squeezing his Hokan no Hon for good luck, Yamato put the purple book away in a special pouch at his hip, tentatively approaching the imposing horse.

Surprisingly, she remained still as the man approached, though it was revealed to all be ruse as once he rested his hands on her she suddenly lurched an inch or two towards him, neighing in amusement. Absolutely terrified by the sudden movement, Yamato fell backwards onto his rear, his face growing red from embarrassment. Both of the horses broke out into loud snickering, and it was only after a few sharp words from Satsuko that they fell silent. Bringing himself back to his feet, Yamato dusted himself off before standing still, struggling to muster up the courage to approach the horse again. Growing impatient, the Kuishinbou woman reminded Yamato that they were on a rather time-sensitive mission, which finally spurred him to mount the horse. As soon as he was situated, both of the horses exploded into movement towards their destination. It probably wasn't a good time for Yamato to pipe up and reveal that he had no idea how exactly to control his horse, but thankfully he didn't have to. Satsuko and her mount were leading the way, and all he had to do was hang on tight and let Odayakanamizu handle the rest.

The next hours may have been a type of personal hell for the chuunin. While riding did cut the travel time down by a significant amount, the speed at which the horses went was far greater than anything Yamato had ever experienced, with some of the more bumpy stretches of land causing the man to even scream in terror. Thankfully, Satsuko had the mercy to make at least a few, quick stops along the way, giving the chuunin a few minutes of relief before continuing on their way. As the group traveled from Field Country to Fire Country, the terrain became less grasslands and more littered with trees, until eventually they crossed over the border into Forest Country. The change was incredibly abrupt, their vision would be blocked from every direction by thick treelines, the road winding through the forest at uncomfortable angles, forcing the horses to, thankfully, slow down quite a bit. Finally, the two were just a few hundred meters outside of the village where the information brokers were rumored to be hiding out, prompting Satsuko to bring the horses to a halt so that they could dismount and continue the rest of the way on foot. Of course, they'd want to discuss their plan before actually entering the village. Releasing his death grip on Odayakanamizu's mane, Yamato wearily slid off the top of the horse, moving to the side of the road to take a seat against a tree. He stumbled for the first few steps from both exhaustion and weariness, earning yet another round of snickering from the horses, their amused noises the last thing Yamato heard before Satsuko sent them away in a puff of smoke. Groaning from his saddle sore, Yamato really leaned into the tree, resting his eyes for a moment and waiting for the Kuishinbou woman to make a call.

Satsuko was tagging along for what seemed like a rather simple mission, with her role being more of the chuunin she was assigned to defense and offensive, while he handled the rest. It wasn't that she needed help, in fact, she could've done this herself easily, but she was mostly there to test the chuunin's capabilities. Not only that but after a quick briefing, she found that he wasn't too good in a fight alone. He needed someone powerful like herself to do most of the fighting.

After preparing, now donning her armor and clan's special weapons, the Kuishinbou met up with him way before dawn even broke, getting what she needed to out of the way early. Her armor with places above her clothes in some areas and under in others, as to not fully overtake her usual clothing. Not wanting to waste any time due to what would be a rather lengthy travel period, she summoned two of her clan's horses for the two to ride the moment she sensed him get close enough.

They didn't like him much of course. He was a male and one that wasn't close to the clan at that. They didn't like males too much, so they harassed and bothered him, at least until they heard her speak up. After helping him mound Odayakanamizu, she would do the same with Haiyakaze, donning her mask the moment she was ready. Without much warning, the rode off. She at least knew the direction they were going, so they would arrive within a day and a half, only stopping when they needed to eat or rest.

After a while, they finally arrived once they were surrounded by trees. Once she was sure of where they were, she would let the horses return to their world. As Yamato leaned against the tree, definitely not used to traveling by horseback, especially not super horses and would approach him. Clicking open the bottom part of her mask, she would pull out a pack of cigarettes and light one up before returning the items to her pouch. Taking a drag with her mask still on she would look him over.

"I'm going to let you lead the way and handle the mission from here on out. With that being said, can you relay the objective? I want to see how you wish to proceed." She stated with sternness in her voice. She said, blowing out smoke from the holes for her nostrils of her mask. As she did so, she made sure to keep her senses sharp. Not only her tongue and nose but her ability to sense chakra.

The plan

Kuishinbou Satsuko

Clearly not one to waste time, Satsuko didn't wait long before approaching Yamato, towering over him from where he sat and cutting to the chase. Looking up to the woman, Yamato fought the urge to vigorously rub his saddle sore, instead retrieving the scroll he used to take notes and unfurling it. Looking it over for a few moments, Yamato formulated a rough plan in his mind, grunting as he brought himself back to his feet and sharing the plan with Satsuko.

"Ok, so... our number one priority is to recover the scrolls. While mission success does depend on eliminating this group, the scrolls are what we're really after. That being said..." Yamato paused, clasping his chin as he gathered his thoughts. "It's important that we don't scare any of the information brokers off prematurely. That's why we're going to go in quiet first. We'll pose as a mercenary duo that has information to sell and try to find out where the brokers are hiding, and once we've located where they're keeping the scrolls, then we can work on eliminating them. Er... if that's okay with you of course..."

Yamato had really gotten into his explanation, temporarily forgetting his deep rooted fear of the woman. By the end of his answer, though, he remembered that not only was Satsuko his superior, she also had the skills and means to rip his head off... not that she'd want to... hopefully. If Satsuko was okay with his plan of action, then he'd move to untie his shinobi headband, stowing it away in his pocket while motioning for the Kuishinbou to do the same.

"I don't think we'll need to use a transformation jutsu to complete our disguises, just taking off any village symbols should be enough, as we're quite far from Kusagakure and the fact that this isn't a shinobi nation."

As long as the two were in agreement, they would be free to begin moving towards the village ahead, travelling on foot for the rest of the way to avoid arousing suspicion.

Satsuko took another long drag as she listened to his plan, thinking it over in her head quickly. She then took off her helmet and started to strip out of her armor, removing each piece and then holding it to her mouth. The plates and anything else was sealed away into her stomach, disappearing into what one would think is thin air. She would only be wearing her usual attire and only had her sword strapped to the side. Untying her headband she would too shove it into her pocket.

She managed to do this without having to put her cigarette out. "Fine with me, however, I will have to use some of a transformation jutsu. Unlike you, I stick out a lot more." She said finally replying before doing a handle with the still-lit cigarette hanging out of her mouth to free up her hands. In a poof of smoke, she was only a few inches taller than him and looked more like she did when she was about twenty-three, more her companion's age.

Her clothing was pretty much the same but now her prosthetic arm wasn't showing as clearly and she didn't appear as muscular in some areas. She did her best to not stand out as much, even smiling to show that she didn't have her usually sharp teeth. "There! What do you think, Yamato boy? I'm ready." She asked, proud of her transformation jutsu skills before taking another drag of her cigarette before batting her eyelashes at him, teasing a bit.

Shakedown?!

Kuishinbou Satsuko , Moro

Thankfully, Satsuko didn't have any objections to his plan, even going so far as to take off her various armor pieces before utilizing a transformation jutsu to make her appearance much less conspicuous than before. The woman appeared much younger than her actual age, though the main features that made her recognizable to the chuunin remained. The most important change she had made, however, was the straightening of her teeth, which definitely would have garnered a large amount of suspicion had she not addressed it. Yamato gave the woman's new appearance one quick look up and down, flashing a thumbs up and a smile once he she asked for his opinion.

"Good! I think we're ready to head out then~"

The fact that she had been teasing Yamato wasn't completely lost on the man, but after spending so much time with Chichi, it was hard for him to be fazed by any sort of womanly appeal thrown his way. Once everything was situated, Yamato led the way down the road towards the village ahead, travelling in silence unless Satsuko struck up some conversation. It wouldn't be long before they drew near the front gates, two guards with spears standing on the sides of the entrance. Raising a hand in greeting, Yamato had a brief exchange with the guard on the right.

"Name and purpose for entering?"

"Ah! My name is Nori, and my companion and I are mercenaries just looking for work."

"Mhm, entrance fee."

The guard spoke with a monotone voice, clearly stationed for much longer than he had hoped. In fact, now that they were closer, Yamato could see that the other guard was actually dozing off at his post, leaning up against the frame of the gate. That didn't change the fact that he was caught off guard by the sudden request for money, and he had the suspicion that this was some sort of shakedown.

"Entrance fee? Who says we've got to pay to get in?"

"Says me. Now fork over 5000 ryo, or get lost."

"5000 ryo?! You're joking?!"

Yamato was genuinely taken aback by how much the guard was asking for, but to keep their profile low, he begrudgingly began to dig around in his pockets for the money.

Hisakawa Yamato Kuishinbou Satsuko 

Information was one of the most valuable merchandise available in this world, not everyone understood that. Some valued gold and artefacts, others found the most value in animals and humans. Either way, information wasn't cheap, it shouldn't be sold to the first bidder either, which was the only reason the scrolls from Kusagakure still remained in the broker's inventory and not in the office of some other shinobi nation. While the time wasn't right, the broker was a business person and knew better than most when to reveal he had valuable information, granting the broker full control of the price, hell even the ability to start a bidding war. The broker was pretty sure someone like Iwagakure or perhaps one of the missing nin operations would end up leaving with the scrolls, though... 

The guards at the entrance would perk up a bit at Nori's exclamation. He seemed awfully shocked about the entrance fee, which raised some concerns with the guards, prompting them to stand straighter, shake the drowsy look on their faces, spears were gripped a little tighter as well. 

"If you can't pay, then scram, kid." 

Sharp, dark eyes stared at the white haired Nori, his partner's glance shifted focus from Nori to the lady accompanying him.

Satsuko narrowed her eyes whenever he didn't comment on her even younger appearance. She wasn't necessarily vain, but she did hold her beauty to a high standard as her looks did help her through many situations. As well as drag her into messes. It was a mixed bag at times but important nonetheless. But she couldn't complain really as they had a task to do, so instead, she gave a loud sigh and would shake her head before moving along.

Moving on they arrived at the front gate only to be stopped by two guards. He explained that they were two mercenaries looking for work and would like to go through. A simple enough lie to hide their true purpose but nothing too groundbreaking. However, sometimes simple was good enough she supposed. But it was the fee that would stump Yamato. When he complained, the two guards would move closer to the gate and ready themselves just in case.

Satsuko would step forward while digging into her pouch to grab her wallet, going through it carefully and pulling out the amount and then some. "I apologize, my companion is a bit cheap. This should be enough. Now, would you mind letting us through~?" She said calmly, flashing a cute smile as she held the money out to them. However, on the inside she was furious for having to hand her money to scum.

In her head, she made a note that after she killed everyone inside of the place to get not just the information that was stolen but other information she could find there, she was going to kill them and take her money back. There was no way in hell that she was going to let them simply get away with taking her hard-earned money. Not without blood.

Save Those Scrolls

Kuishinbou Satsuko, Moro

The guards' growing apprehension didn't go unnoticed by Yamato, and seeing them tighten their grips made him move his hands just a bit faster to get the money from his pockets. (Un)fortunately, it seemed that Satsuko herself was also quite annoyed by the existence of an entry fee, and she quickly stepped in to pay the fee herself, even giving the two guards a sweet smile as she handed over the cash. That seemed to do the trick, and after taking the money, the guard that originally spoke jerked his thumb behind him, ushering the two Kusa shinobi in.

"Alright, you can pass. Try to keep your nose clean while you're here."

That line seemed to amuse the other guard greatly, though he was quick to stifle his laughter. Forcing the best smile he could, Yamato dipped his head in a quick informal bow before stepping through the village gates, eyes immediately on the lookout for every traveller's favorite place to go after a long journey: a bar. As expected, the bar was easy to find, strategically located just a minute or so of walking away from the village's entrance. Checking quickly to make sure that Satsuko was still keeping up, Yamato entered the bar, taking a quick look around before promptly stepping up to the counter. He waited patiently for the bartender to take notice and approach, raising two fingers with a smile and making a big show of settling into a stool.

"Two beers for me and my companion! And make sure they're extra cold, we've had a loooong journey."

The chuunin wanted to figure out where exactly the information brokers were hiding out, and the best way to do that would be to pretend that he had some valuable information to sell himself. Before he could do that, however, the two Kusa shinobi needed to build some rapport with the people in the bar, and hopefully Satsuko could help out with that, using her... 'womanly charm'.

The guard would count the money and grunt when it amounted to more than enough. His colleague would return the smile from the woman and relaxed his stance a bit as the two were let in. Once in, the duo would make it to a bar, in there they'd find plenty of people and they would swiftly be server by the bartender, a tall dashing male with a million dollar smile, a small diamond embedded in his canine would catch the light as he spoke, "What can I do for ya'?" 

Black and colored ink stained the skin on his arms and disappeared up below his white shirt. He would prepare whatever they ordered and hand it to them when it was ready, payment would be had whenever they had had enough. Or enough to make the next one the one, which would make them into truly troublesome individuals. 

Around the bar you'd see all kinds of people from all walks of life, although the upper class was missing. The place would be a mixture of typical bar scents, kitchen and smoke. Many people would be around on the lower levels, which also seemed to be the only level.  Perhaps the duo would catch the deals going on here and there, things were slipped here and there, maybe they didn't think it of any importance. Even small illegal businesses had to stay afloat somehow, yes? 

At the bar they would find one end crowded while the other, the one with the worse lighting, a sole man with grey hair and smoking a pipe would be.

 Moro

After giving the bartender his order, Yamato took a quick look around the bar, taking in the sights and smells of the shifty place. The people in the establishment varied greatly in appearance, but there was no doubt in the chuunin's mind that they all held a... less than clean criminal record in common: perfect for finding out where the smuggler's hideout was. One person in particular caught his eye, some older looking gentleman smoking from a pipe. His first instinct as a shinobi was simply to march on over to the lonesome man and begin interrogating him, but right now he wasn't a shinobi. Right now, he was 'Nori,' a weary traveler and peddler of juicy information.

It didn't take long for the dashing bartender to return with the ordered drinks, and with a plan sprouting in his mind, Yamato withdrew payment from his pocket. The amount of coins he laid on the counter went far beyond what was necessary for his order, earning him a quizzical look from the bartender. Gently nudging his head towards the gray haired man, Nori verbally made his intentions known.

"I'd like to get something for the smoking gentleman over there, something nice, and... do let him know it's from me."

Understanding dawned on the bartender's face as he glanced over at the indicated man, giving Yamato a wink before moving off to take care of it. The chuunin kept his eyes trained on the mysterious man as the bartender fulfilled his request, watching as the two exchanged a few words before a finger was pointed in his direction. Upon making eye contact with the receiver of his gift, Yamato raised his own glass in acknowledgement, gently sliding off of his seat and making his way towards lonely table and gesturing towards the seat across from the man with the pipe.

"Is this seat taken?"

The bartender would grin for himself as he made the order, his composure back in place as he served the drink and passed on the message. He would go back to polishing glasses and making sure his bar looked presentable, not to mention, approachable. The grey-haired man would regard the drink, then the sender. 

His gaze never gave much away other than a hint of suspicion, which was rather common -and smart- to have in the world he lived in. He would simply nod and shift in his seat, moving a bit away from the stranger to create more room for them, letting the stranger sit. It was a free world and bar, after all. With his torso turning so to greet him better, he raised his drink and spoke

"Thank you for the drink. Though I am unsure what you think you will gain from it, kid" 

His own thoughts shifted between the dealings going on around them and the other meanings which lay behind something as simple as paying for another's drink. He would let the stranger speak and explain... Or sit in silence, if he simply wanted a drinking buddy. 

Perhaps closer than you'd think, the culprits sitting on the precious scrolls from Kusagakure would be put under more protection, to safeguard against attacks and other less than honorable thieves who'd attempt to steal it.

Yamato noted wryly that the older man's initial response was one of suspicious, which was more than fair in a place like this. It would take a bit more finesse on his part to get the information he wanted, but that was fine. It was preferable to a straightforward 'knocking heads together' approach. Easing himself onto the seat with a grunt, Yamato took a long sip from his drink, letting out a sigh of satisfaction as he slammed his glass down onto the table. It was only after he settled in that he gave his reply to the man across the table.

"What's a little friendliness between strangers hm? Can't a man buy another man a drink out of good will?"

That was a load of horsecrap, of course, but subtlety was the name of the game here. If he was too direct about it, then he was sure the man would be able to peg him as someone on the enforcing side of the law. At the same time, if he was too roundabout with his approach, he might come off as naive or new to the 'game'. Gently picking up his glass again, Yamato eyed the liquid inside as he swirled it around before going on.

"A drink is always best with a like-minded person, especially after a long journey carrying such 'heavy' cargo."

His eyes flicked up to meet the older man's once he said his piece, looking for even the slightest hint of understanding in his gaze. He had been implying, of course, that he had something of value that he'd like to be rid of, though whether it was some sort of contraband or something greater had yet to be revealed.

"Good will? Is something you get from people who want something or nuns" 

He didn't much believe in good will, to him it was simply a gift in disguise and the giver fully expected to be paid back in full or more for going out of their way to provide a gift which was never requested. 
 Perhaps if the old man wasn't so well-versed in the ways of the bar and the ones who frequented it he would have believed the newcomer was simply buying him a drink to buy his company for a time. Or perhaps he simply wanted to talk and share, such people did exist and they'd drown any ear willing to listen to their troubles.

But the kid, wouldn't just go on to tell him how his wife left him or how the weather was. Instead, he would hint at how heavy a burden he was carrying. Something you shouldn't tell to all who were willing to listen. The old man shifted in his seat, a small knowing glint in his eyes as he addressed the younger man again. 

"And what might such a heavy cargo be? I am from here, I might know a fellow or two with a wagon and horse willing to help with transport." 

He would sip from his drink, remaining mostly neutral to any onlookers they might have, perhaps even a bit dismissive.

Yamato was careful to suppress the smile that was about to form on his face once he saw understanding in the older man's eyes. Both parties had shown their hands, but that didn't mean the game was over. There was still the chance that Yamato's 'cargo' wouldn't be deemed worth enough to warrant the man's services, or depending on his answer he might not be led to the specific group that he was looking for. The proverbial ball was now in his court, and to give himself just a few more moments to think, the Kusa shinobi took a sip of his drink that just so happened to be on the longer side. As he set his glass back on the table, the shinobi adjusted his posture, intentionally leaning so that just the tip of a scroll peeked out from behind his fanciful cloak. Just as quickly however, the scroll returned to its hidden depths, the white-haired man leaning against the table with his elbows, fingers pressed together gently as he gave a more verbal response.

"I've just recently arrived from the beautiful plains of Nohara no Kuni, where I stayed within Kusagakure for a few days and purchased a few bushels of wheat to sell, though nobody has been interested in buying such a heavy load."

To ensure that he got to the information brokers that possessed the Kusagakure scrolls, it was paramount that his own bluff involved more information regarding Kusagakure as he was sure the group would want to maintain a monopoly on said information. Of course, he made sure to try and make his bluff seem as juicy as possible, he didn't want to be turned away after all.

The boy -for compared to himself the other really was no more than such- would take a drink, the older male watching him as he did, eyes observant and he used the moment to drink in the other’s appearance. He was younger than most who dared to make a move in the business, at least too young to be any good when you considered who their competition was. The shinobi were no laughing matter and many often underestimated what it meant to be in their searchlight. They knew it was not a good thing, but it also meant you were doing something right and had goods worth selling to the highest bidder - be it an enemy nation, shinobi or just some other party interested in collecting.

The weathered old fox would be occupied with his drink when the other turned his attention to him, eyes glancing at the movement he made to reveal the scroll peeking out. Kusagakure did seem to have a poor excuse for a defensive system… So perhaps it wasn’t too unrealistic for this youngster to have stolen something more. Maybe it was of value… Maybe it was a fake. Only one could tell. He downed the drink, the glass was sat down gently and he moved, a gruff mumble informing the youngster to remain, then he moved up to the next level, disappearing from view and the few minutes he was gone seemed to drag on. He did return, though. Signaling for the white haired rogue to follow;

"I might know someone who will buy some of this wheat, though he’d like to sample it before making an offer”

He would lead him up to the other level and into a smaller room behind a red door. In there they found a one eyed man with spikey blue hair and dressed in browns and greens, his belt holding both pouches, a chain, katanas - three-, and a single headband with a crossed out wavy line - an old kusagakure headband.

The man’s dark eyes landed on the new comer, he didn’t recognize him. His gaze sought the old man who would walk to the round table and with a tap on the painted wood he would wait for the newcomer to put the scroll on the table so his friend could see it.

"This is the lad. Says it is legit.”
