Kanzaki, a medium sized farming and trade village residing in the Land of Fire is home to over seven hundred residents. Peaceful and interconnected into several smaller districts, usually with bouts of farmland interspersed between them, they came to the agreement that banding together as one settlement was better than simply carving the land into multiple small villages and fighting each other over profits and territory many years back.
Each district, in turn, metes out a part of their larger turnout. This district, the Central Square, is where the fair village most often comes together.
They Mayor of the Village, Hajime Kanzaki is the ancestral son of the founder of the lands, and was voted into the position by the council of the village elders for his shrewd skills and willingness to train and teach the future generations about the lands and how to properly til and treat them to produce better crops.

Ryoku spotted the village early on as he made his way to it. It wasn't too bad a walk from Konaha being honest, there was no resistance on the way so the mission was already giving off a relaxing feel so far. The air was nice and had a pleasant aroma of honeysuckles in the air. Ryoku walked while resting his hand on his cross whip, glancing to his sides at times but keeping a calm relaxed face on for passing people. He did not worry too much about his team having any trouble looking natural. They gave a well enough feel of that on the way. Once near the center of the area he stopped and turned towards his team. He did not want to ask around the village or speak to anyone in charge because they might not know of or be involved in the matters they have come for.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Kazumi walked into the village, inhaling the slightly sweet scent of honeysuckle flowers floating on the fresh air. The walk had been easy enough, and had she been two years younger she would have been completely relaxed and at ease, despite being on a mission. As it was, she merely gave off the air of being relaxed, showing a completely passive face to those looking at her. She was aware of everything around her, though she wasn't sure what the woman they were looking for, even looked like. She hummed softly as she kept pace with Ryoku, appearing to be happy and merely minding her own business.

Once they arrived, in a heartbeat, the black bear took off running as if she heard a gun and jumped into the water fountain. "Mizu! Come!" After the bear had dipped her head into the water and heard Hozuki shouting, you can see the wheels turning in her head. For a long time, Mizu paused, wondering if she should listen to Hozuki or not. Decided the answer was a no, the dirty bear was playing in the water fountain. With a frustrated growl, Hozuki got into the fountain too after she removed her shoes and tried to get her friend's ears, but Mizu was going to fall for the same trick. Instead, Mizu tackled her and sent Hozuki down into the water. Now they both were wet and still dirty. This much water wasn't going to rinse all the mud off of them. Hozuki, now upset and mad, got out of the water fountain and started to squeeze her clothes. Mizu, happily jumped out and nudged her friend's leg with her nose and started to purr loudly as if trying to get back on Hozuki's good size.

The documents inside of the silver tube that Masahiro had given the Nara earlier would point to a specific brick on the fountain, coloured red with a diamond insert, on the north face of the fountain. Beneath it would be a list of addresses to be matched to the cipher that had been hand delivered to the Hokage at a different time, and also sealed into the tube. The Nara's quick mind would notice something, however. The writing on the cipher was different than the rest of the notes, it was a recoded cipher, following the methods Masahiro had taught his specific students after graduation.
The cipher gave direction to the following location:
Kanzaki Warehouse District :: Block C, Building 12-D. Knock Thrice, Lunch is Stewed Beef over Brown Rice.

Arriving in town and slightly getting their surroundings Ryoku popped open the tube that Masahiro gave him. Reading the scroll he looked around a bit. Hesitating with a slight eyebrow raised he walked over to the fountian crossing his arms with the note still in his hand. Glancing down his shadow had a very small tendral extend to the loose brick mentioned in the instructions. The tendral would feel around on behind the brick before pulling out the contents. Pulling them into his shadow a few moments would pass while Ryoku would let out a yawn. The contents then would shoot out quickly into his hand that was open and waiting during the yawn. Even to his own teamates it would look natural and they would not detect it unless they were looking closely. Opening the Cipher casually as if he had it all along he walked towards his team while looking it over. A quick code break from knowing his teachers methods. Now knowing the location and way in he tucked the cipher into his pocket and smiled at the team. "Well that wasn't too bad, we can maybe grab a bite to eat by the sounds of it."
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Kazumi watched Ryoku read over the instructions their Kage had given him, then how he seemed to have naturally had more papers in his hand all along. But she noticed how his shadow seemed to have found the second set of notes, and gave it to him. She thought there was soemthing suspicious about that, but made no comment. Instead, when he mentioned food, Kazumi smiled slightly, "Food huh? That sounds great!" Kazumi walked over closer to her Sensei, and looked around her, as if looking for the way towards food, all in all; she looked natural, like she was merely a tourist that was lost. She turned to Ryoku and smiled, "Which way?"

Both Ryoku and Kazumi were talking as Hozuki scoffed. Seriously. Why were they here? Stupid mission. Angry brown hues glanced around and she saw some people giving her odd stares as she felt protective. Her hand tighten the hold of her grip around the shaft of her naginata out of anger. Mizu noticed it and let out a soft concerned whine. Ugh. Whatever. "Let's just ******** get this over with and leave." Hozuki had such anger in her voice as she leaned against her weapon with overgrown cub by her side who was slightly overwhelmed with all the people and the sounds, "She's getting overstimulated. I would hate to think if it becomes too much." With that, Hozuki and Mizu got away from the crowd and to an area that had slightly more room. Both of them let wet prints from being in the fountain and they were still... rather very filthy.

Ryoku had to applaud their ability to act natural, unless they were just totally oblivious of the situation. The less they drew attention to themselves the better off they would be. Listening to Kazumi eager to go eat. It had been a little bit and a long walk. Food sounded great but he was unsure if it actually meant they would get some food. Good to pretend though. Seeing her smile caused a sudden lurch in his stomach. A brief look of panic struck his face for that moment but quickly returned to the calm way it was. Did he just see Kira in her for just a moment. Facially they looked slightly alike but mostly everything else was different. He did not know what that meant but for the time being at least he pushed the thought from his mind. "Yea lets get going, this way."
Turning he saw Hozuki getting flustered with things. Even as far as swearing publicly. His eyes darted around to see who all had their attention stolen by the minor rise out of her. A couple people looked but it seemed for the most part they were only unamused by the vulgarity. This small town was much less tolerant for outsiders and so long as they did not overstay their welcome. Sighing some to himself he needed to confront her, but chances are doing so will only make matters worse.. and more public. Thinking for a moment he motioned Hozuki with his head to come along. "Lets get going so we don't overstay our welcome." As she would pass by he whispered to her low enough for her to hear him. "Hey i know its frustrating but there is a possibility you might get a chance to have an outlet. The enemy could be nearby." Walking with the rest of them to the location on the paper.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Kazumi's sharp eyes noticed how he seemed to react to her smile, and she wondered what had caused a look of panic to cross his features. But she decided not to pursue that line of thought. She crossed her arms over her chest and raised on eyebrow, but almost lost her own temper at her sister's outburst. She understood that this was not what her sister wanted, but life wasn't about getting your way, it was about overcoming adversity and learning to adapt. She bit her lip hard enough to break the tender flesh; all to stop herself from commenting, and merely licked the blood from her lip. She uncrossed her arms and took a calming breath, then followed Ryoku as he walked to a new area.

Once her squad leader had made his head movement as she started to walk pass him. He followed. Mizu was behind them and occasionally, looked around in curosity. Hozuki nearly became extremely defensive when he got in low enough. She heard him as she scowled, "I don't care! It's just. UGH. Just get the ******** off of my back. You do your thing, and I will do my ******** thing. Alright?" Was all she responded as she followed them. She nearly made a comment about the enemy but she knew it wasn't wise if they were being watched. Her hand was gripping the shaft of her weapon so tight that her knuckles were becoming wait as they left the area. Mizu quickly walked up to Hozuki's available side and let out a gentle whine towards Hozuki.
