Earlier that day
The man sitting in the sofa, with a cup of tea and a handful of documents spread over the coffee table was obviously not pleased, having not a single ounce of happiness or joy in his face, his eyes staring coldly at the pages spread out in front of him.
"That's all of the reports, this is all we know about what happened there?" The man angrily asked the blonde woman standing at the other side of the coffee table, her sharp breathing showing that she wasn't very happy being the bearer of bad news, despite being one of his most favored Lieutenants, Myra still hated and feared the man sitting in front of her. "Ugh, where can I find myself some decent people these days. Some hired thugs from Takigakure really dont seem to be worth their money if all they can do is die the very instant they get caught or do something stupid."
The man rubbed his temples with his fingers, not being pleased with nor the results of his investigation and infiltration of the hidden village of waterfalls, nor with the fact he had yet again lost a great deal of ryo without getting sufficient intel in return.
"And this here, detailing that they were assaulted by two shinobi, of which one has slaughtered all of them," The man asked with quite a puzzled look on his face. "Surely an Iwa shinobi, we know that much, but that doesn't matter. I can't act against Akira's influence here or I'm certainly going to lose a lot of my work. It's the other person at the scene, who was he, why was he there and for what reason do those mercenaries even attack a shinobi in the first place, let alone two of them?"
Myra stood silent, though after clear thought, she cleared her throat and spoke up.
"Orochi-sama, if I may," She said with a slightly trembling voice, though getting Enaka's undivided attention in the process. "There is reason to believe that the second person at the scene was a Konoha shinobi going by the name Chi Rippa."
Enaka looked up after hearing the 'Chi' name, since that was the name of one of his associates. Chi Itami had made a deal with him not to long ago, making the death of his brother and then leader of the Angel part of the Chi clan, had to die a death resembling that of a long terminal illness in exchange for some scrolls containing the secrets on the Angel path's unique abilities to heal by using blood infused chakra.
"Who did you say?" The man would ask, trying to see if he had any recollection of ever hearing that name. Until it hit him that he had once arranged a training session with Chi Itami for his niece. The kid…that kid was the new head of the Angel path, the guy who actually stood in the way of Itami's ambitions.
"Chi Rippa, Orochi-sama, he's…" Before Myra could finish her sentence, she was abruptly cut off by another, strangely masked man in the room.
"Orochi-sama, There's a chakra sign that matches the one sensed at that massacre," The masked man spoke with monotone voice. "Most likely this is the person that was at the scene but has not participated in the slaughter, I believe this person is the one you are speaking off, this Chi Rippa."
"Hmm, it seems one of my jobs really is biting me in the back," Enaka sighed, drinking up his cup of Ceylon tea and standing up from the sofa. "I'll take a look at this person if you will. Make sure no Konoha shinobi get in our way. Should you deem anyone a threat to my…excursion, eliminate them and clean up all evidence of our involvement with that…incident of before."

Calmly, the man was walking the busy streets, with a smile on his face and squinting his eyes, politely greeting people that greeted him, showing not a single sign of the darkness in his soul. Only after a long walk, did he see a rather familiar face leaving a local drugstore with what seemed to be some kind of medical supplies.
He was amazed of how much this young man looked like his father, though less…drained of youth and in prime condition, though despite that all, there seemed a hint of hatred and…desillusion in the young man's face and movements, as if he was running from something.
Without causing a scene, Enaka slipped through the crowd, waiting for the opportune moment to come closer to the young man and give him a surprisingly warm greeting. "Now now, who would've thought I would see someone of the Chi clan in takigakure…is it not, mr Chi Rippa?"
