A Mother's Whisper

"This is the one." The Hokage declared, passing the photograph of the culprit to her number one assassin, Sayuri Senju. Sayuri extended her arm, reaching across the desk to retrieve the image. She looked it over, a bit puzzled. By the looks of things, he seemed as though to be an ordinary shinobi. However, she had learned long ago, that looks can be deceiving.

"Rumor has it that he murdered his own mother." The Hokage explained, her expression and tone grim. "Don't take it easy on this one."

Sayuri's eyes were over taken by a dark red persona, allowing her to memorize the image instantly. She nodded, tightening her fist. "The likes of him... tch... This has now turned personal." Sayuri seemingly vanished, choosing to leave behind a cloud of smoke. Sayuri had never gotten the chance to meet her mother, who passed away giving birth. Things only became worse with the absence of her father.

The sky was filled with clouds, hiding away the sun. Sayuri arrived in the stall of the men's bathroom, unfortunately with someone committing their business. The man shrieked, but before he could do anything about it, Sayuri vanished once more, this time appearing to above a small ramen shop. Getsugakure... Sayuri thought to herself, taking a moment to inhale a fresh breath of oxygenated air. It's been much too long.
