After a night filled with philosophical contemplation resumed my work here, I decide to stay at least 3 more days in case Hidan wasn't the only perpetrator of the disappearances which, in the end, was the right call apparent there are some more Jajinists that were helping him.

Swiftly, I hunted and killed every one of them, with my mission accomplished I returned to Konoha, during my trip I started reminiscing about my talk with the monk. Principally about that law against Clan armor the Daimyo passed, yes you heard it right the Daimyo thought it was a good idea to stop the use of that badass looking Armor Hashirama and Madara uses and of course the simp of the third Hokage agreed, some shit about the change of an era brings the change of looks too, I call bullshit, he just wanted to suck up to the daimyo to gain more money.

While I was ranting in my thoughts I received sudden enlightenment, I am a blacksmith. if you are asking why that makes a difference? is quite simple actually the law dictates we can't commercialize the armor I can still make it and use it myself, the third Hokage may be a simp but he really isn't dumb he knows if he completely forbids it he will inquire the wrath of the more traditional clans but he still needs the money of the pompous nobles so he made a middle ground, quite the politician aren't he? the monk was really right sometimes you don't need to solve things with your fists, sometimes all you need is to think outside of the box.

Returning to the village I went to the Hokage tower to give my mission debrief, entering the office I see the Hokage working on his worst enemy paperwork, this is something that I to need to deal with, do you think an Anbu don't have to make a detailed written report about their mission? of course, we have.

So the first thing I did was give my mission report, and all the evidence I gathered with the Head monk seal too, this will be the only mission that I answer to the Hokage the rest is to the Anbu captain and just in some special cases I will deal with the Hokage.

The Hokage swiftly read through my scrolls while putting aside the physical evidence to be analyzed on the research division later, seeing he finished I proceed to give my verbal report the most detailed possible, from the moment I reached the place, to find the cave, till the day of my departure, I even informed him about the Jajinists and that strange religion of them.

The Hokage just listened to my report patiently and when I finished, he gave me his input and some other questions he has, we continued talking for some time dealing with miscellaneous stuff, my reward, etc. Until he says something:

''We found clues on the possible perpetrator of the Senju disappearance, this is the only thing we found, a name said repeatedly''.

''This name is KARA''
