- That's true, but recently there was a rumor that a free iryonin of a very decent level had settled down near the daimyo's court, opening an elite brothel and charging a very reasonable price for his services, compared to the price of the main hospital in Konoha for outsiders," Toshiro told his colleagues of the latest gossip, He had access to more information about the country and society than the other two jonins because of his involvement in the elder's affairs, and many of the aristocrats had already used his services to their satisfaction, so the number of clients would hardly be as large as Hime-sama expected.
- If we have to chase her halfway across the country again, it's going to be a total asshole! - Yarakawa groaned.
- You don't say," Aido agreed, and turned to the leader, "Has this iryonin been tested? It's doubtful that there's an ownerless specialist of such a level, and even with such connections.
- They checked him superficially - he was a former mercenary who had retired and really had no ties to the villages, but no one dug deeper - the village had no time for that lately, you know," the jonin waved his hand, jumping down to the ground and continuing his run through a small clearing where there were no trees big enough to keep going overhead.
- Only the blind and deaf wouldn't recognize this place," Yarakawa spat, "It feels like there have been more significant events in the last six months than in the last three years before that.
- Plus, that iryonin bought a piece of land very quickly and joined the list of land aristocrats," the leader continued to share information with his colleagues, "getting out from under Konoha's ability to intervene.
- I'd do the same if I had the money to do it," Aido shrugged.
At that, the conversation died down and the jonins sped up even more - no one wanted to be late again. The team reached the capital at nightfall and split up to gather information, agreeing to meet in a couple of hours in the main square.
Yauchi knew that the entertainment and drinking establishments here were open around the clock, and there was no point in wasting time when the target could vanish without a trace today.
This time, luck had smiled on the search team an hour later - Aido had found several people watching a woman of similar description not far from the most luxurious casino in the city, and having made sure that there was a chakra source of appropriate size inside the building, he had radioed his partners and stayed behind to watch the exit. In other cases, it was only a toy for the genin, but in a quest like this, the chakra headset allowed Konoha's shinobi to coordinate much faster in a safe area.
- Well done, Aido," Toshiro praised his partner, "Is Senju still inside?
- Yes, but she's not the only one - the casino has a solid security detail of four jonins and six chonin," the staff sensor reported.
