Paper Trail: First Hand Informant

Several weeks had passed since her encounter with the mysterious female Uchiha. Kimi had set out to search for her fellow kinsmen, as requested by the woman, despite what she said sounding almost like an half-baked lie. Nonetheless, she would eventually find out the truth.

While searching for Uchiha, Kimi ended up on a small village somewhere in the northern borders of the Land of Fire, whose governing leader happened to be a reputable fixer and information broker, and information is what she was in dire need of. After the Uchiha Massacre, it wouldn't be easy to find the scattered Uchiha through out the shinobi world. When asked about it, the fixer told her he did have a lead on a potential individual of the Uchiha blood, though the intel would obviously come with a price. He told her a local group of bandits had been harassing the village recently, and if she managed to take them out, the money he would spend hiring a Hidden Village to deal with them would essentially pay her information. Kimi accepted the offer and headed to the bandit's hideout.

The job wasn't hard to accomplish, as the bandits didn't have any kind of shinobi training, but it reminded her of her own first mission for Konoha, and how her life had changed forever after that mission. As she faced a bandit leader once again, the memories came flushing back to her, almost allowing her opponent to land a solid hit on her. Despite this, she captured the bandit leader alive after slaughtering all of his comrades in cold blood. She was now waiting for the fixer inside the village's jail, awaiting for her "payment".
