Sekuro had gotten stuck on call at the administration building, sending more ninja out to the walls for patrol and response drills, Sekuro got stuck waiting for some menial task to keep him busy and earn his days wages. He desperately looked for something to do to keep him busy besides playing solitaire on the table with the deck of cards he carries everywhere, wearing his jacket and a t-shirt underneath like normal he waited for something. Another attendant interrupted his game and sent him out on a simple patrol through the village, basically to make sure no disputes were happening or if any unknown ninja were crawling about to check on them and find out who they/were get them to check in or whatever they were supposed to do.
Sekuro started patrolling the village, keeping his hands in his pockets and waving to those who would wave or greet him. He tried to keep to himself and not draw any attention, it was a quite and peaceful day and with the village running some drills already he doubted that anyone would cause any major trouble today, he followed through to some of the more major areas of town, the shopping centers and main roads, besides... anything would be better than going back and sitting around the administration building. He entered the storm of the crowd that was out around mid day in the village, it would have been smarter to maybe jump to a rooftop but that would draw attention to himself and he definitely didn't want that. He entered the fray and spent the next few moments fighting through elbows and bodies to get over to a popular tea house, he ordered one of the shops prominent teas and paid the women. He sat down on a bench outside and watched as people go by, they all looked like ordinary citizens or had the Iwa headband displayed. No one stuck out as of yet, as he waited on his tea. There was no rush, he especially didn't want to rush into finding any problems in the village yet, and a woman brought his tea and he thanked her and gave her ryo and some extra as a tip.
He sipped his tea as he waited, it was hot and very relaxing, the flavor was excellent and far more prominent than the average tea, almost like coffee it was so pronounced. Out of the corner of his eye he caught someone he didn't immediately recognize, but he didn't look like he was from Iwa, and with that he had passed by, with that Sekuro finished off his tea and waved to the shop keeper. He stood quickly, his height gave him a slight advantage in the crowd being able to see over most people due to his height, he had already let the guy gain a bit of distance on him while he finished his tea. He would be relatively easy to see, Sekuro was able to catch his dark blue haircut in his passing by and it would only be matter of time before he found it. Following the crowd's direction a little further he finally caught him, about 20 meters ahead and several people in between them to keep him sealed. Now it was just a matter of finding out where he was headed, and unfortunately he would have to confront him or find out who he was and if he was a citizen of Iwa. He followed the shorter man from behind and kept his distance as best as possible, waiting for him to do something or stop somewhere, hopefully he wouldn't catch on to him and make a run for it, that would be the most unfortunate thing on such a calm day.
