Yuko was sat once more in the same restaurant as a few days ago. She had sent a message to Choumon, and given that this was where they had met originally, it had made sense, but she still did not find this location all that ideal. There was simply too many people for her, let alone for the topic she wanted to discuss. They were making noise, sure, but that wasn't ideal either... She sighed, and took another sip of her tea. Hopefully his chair would hold up this time... She had called on him after hearing about the recent murder in the village. A bounty had been raised for the killers, and while only a vague description had been raised, there must be someone in the village who could track them down. Backup would be required, at any rate. Hopefully Choumon would agree with her.

Choumon, surprised to have received a call to meet with the Senju clan head, was walking down the street at a steady pace. He wondered what they wanted, and how weird it was that it was the exact same meeting place as where he had met another Senju, by the name of Yuko, a few days earlier. However, it probably had to be a coincidence, and she shook it off.
Once arriving at the restaurant, he opened the door and walked in. It was full of people, every last chair seemingly taken. However, the Senju had hopefully reserved a table, and thus, the large man went up to a nearby waiter and told him that the Senju head was expecting him. The waiter nodded after looking at a list and lead him to a table, where none other than the beautiful young Senju sat.
“I thought I was meeting with the leader of the Senju?” he said confoundedly, as a waiter came running with a special, reinforced chair they had seemingly bought with the money Choumon had paid them for breaking his chair the last time he went here. Sitting down, something hit him. “Don't tell me that's you?”

Yuko, noticing his arrival, files away her thoughts for another day. "Yes, that would be me. I apologise, I must not have been clear before." She passes him the menu. "Please, feel free to choose what you like. I will be paying today. I have a favour to ask of you. I am sure you heard of the brutal killing here in this village?" She takes another sip of her tea, wondering to herself if he would be on board with her. He was a member of the village, though, and it would be a bad sign if they were not looking out for one another.

“I'm stunned! Such beauty leading a ninja clan, it really is new times!” Choumon said with a chuckle, before listening to what the woman had on her heart. When she asked about the killings that had happened within the walls of Sabakugakure, he sighed and nodded.
“While a friend might be taking it too far, the official was a well respected man in the eyes of my clan,” he said with a grieving voice. “He has helped us out many times in the past.” Just then, the man clenched his hand into a tight fist, his muscles tensing so hard that if he had been holding anything, it would have crumbled to dust. “I can't believe who would do such a thing, in a time like this!”
Taking some time to calm down, he opened his mouth again. “My apologies, random violence is not something I condone. Anyway, if that is what you wanted to talk about, I suspect you know something?”

Yuko nods. "I feel your outrage dearly. This is supposed to be a place safe from the strife of the world, and anyone who would defile that should be brought to justice." She sighs. "While I do not know of anything directly, I do know there is a bounty, which means someone must know something. Else they would not be able to identify the target. If we can find out what little is known, and perhaps hunt down someone who would be able to find them; I am willing to donate my portion of the bounty to bringing them in if that is what it takes..." She waves her hand. "My point is, would you join me in bringing them to justice?" She smiles. "I am rather frail myself, and I would be more comfortable with a man of your indomitable strength by my side in battle."

“Very well,” Choumon said after hearing the woman speak, his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he nodded continuously. He then proceeded to slam his hand so hard at the table, it broke into to, shouting: “Count me in!” Before realizing what he had done.
“Oh for crying out loud,” he sighed, as he brought forth his wallet and paid the waiter what he believed the table was worth. He then stood up and looked down at the woman. “We should inform the Kazekage though, before we take matters into our own hands. Maybe, just maybe, he has a clue or some other useful aid.”

Yuko shakes her head, forming a quick seal and weaving the table back together. It might not withstand another Choumon punch, but it would surely hold some plates. "We should leave sooner rather than later. If we need to confer with my cousin many times removed, I will send a clone. But every second means the perpetrators have time to flee to another country, and the trail the go cold." She stands with him. "We should leave as soon as possible."

The man watched as the woman used her wood release to remake the table, even better than before. Poking it out of curiosity, the man then looked back at the woman, hearing her speak. He then nodded. She was right, they could always send a clone to inform the Kage of their self-imposed mission.
“All right, I'll make sure he hears of this,” he said, before his large fingers made a special seal. “Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!” he said, another giant appearing beside him, making the room awfully crowded. “Go!” he shouted, the clone nodding and darting off. He then turned towrds Yuko once more. “Where to first?!”
He was getting fired up.

"We should split up. Find someone who can help us track the perpetrators, and if you can, any information about the killers themselves. What they look like of course, and anything a tracker might need, but also any word on their abilities. We should meet at the gate as evening comes around. Better to travel through this desert at night."
They separate for a few hours, meeting up again at the front gate. Yuko is with a double of herself, clearly in conversation with it.

After the two had gotten outside, they had decided on a meeting spot and otherwise split up, Choumon using his Kage Bunshin to help him find any information that could prove useful. As the sun faded in the horizon, however, he came to the gate where Yuko was already standing, along with a clone of herself.
Dispersing any clones he still had in the village, Choumon received additional information and sped up towards Yuko. Then, looking around to see if anyone was in hearing distance, he spoke. “I may have found a place that will be able to provide us with the information we need. There were no bodies at the scene, so they have either been brought along, or otherwise disposed off.” he explained. “Something tells me these were looking for a bounty.” Looking around again, he pulled forth a small scroll. “Here are possible coordinates to a local bounty collector. We should go … talk a bit with him, I think, bnefore doing anything else.”

Both Yuko's turn to face Choumon, and nod, in an eerie fashion. "Good thinking. If it was a bounty, we can certainly pull out a description from them." She turns to face her clone and nods again. The clone vanishes off into the distance, scouting ahead for them. "Though it is unlikely that they have left any traps behind them, I am nothing if not cautious. If you can direct us towards the bounty office, I will have the clone scout ahead for us. Perhaps if we are lucky, we will find them there."
