That was all it said. Fukai had managed to intercept this message before he had passed it on to his elderly supervisor. He had steamed open the envelope and reattach it without damaging the paper. He had then delivered it back to Kudaru without suspicion. This had been on the day that he had met the young man by the name of Jiongami and shared that lovely meal. In the days to come, he had begun to fret over this message. It was a little presumptuous that this could involve him in some negative way but he was a suspicious man by nature and was uneasy that the one who had been closest to him over this month was to attend some secret meeting. Fukai was still in the middle of participating in the Chuunin exams and he was due to begin the next round soon. If he did not take action here he knew he would remain distracted for his fight. No, he was not going to let this itch go unscratched. He had decided that he will be proactive and take action from now on, he will go to this meeting and find out what he could.
Earlier in the morning, he had slipped out of his accommodation under the pretext of his usual escapades. Kudaru was used to his behavior by now and had pretty much given up on his tight leash approach. This gave him a little bit of time to get there before the stated time and set up camp.
The large figure walked down Cumulus st at twelve past one on the 13th of the month. Observing the whole street, he noticed that it was a rather small off-road and mostly urban residential. At the south end was a cafe that jutted out at the corner. This would be the place, he was almost certain. Nowhere else could two people meet while remaining relatively inconspicuous. The purple eyed male strode towards the building. He was hoping that nobody was already observing the spot and that he could just walk straight in without being noticed. He was not a subtle individual and not very ninja-like but he would do what needed to be done to finish the job. Fukai walked past the front of the cafe while peeking with his peripherals to see if anyone was watching. It was a quiet day today, everybody was no doubt out at their day jobs. After he was happy that nobody was watching, he engaged the supernatural walking practice, jumped and clung to the balcony of the cafe above. The owners inside would not see as it was off to the side of the building. He vaulted over the railing and squeezed his way into the upstairs living quarters. He listened intently for the busy-bodying of the pair below him. He was satisfied that they were not going to discover him. If they did scale the stairs, he could slip back out without notice.
From here, he could not see the tables and chairs that were on the ground floor, but they could not see him. He would still be able to hear them as there was not too much wind around. He grabbed a cusion to sit on and made himself comfortable. And now for the waiting game...
--- 45 mins later ---
A man of almost seventy strode towards the cafe. Although he was old, he still had a reasonably nimble body due to the many years of conditioning it had received. He was small in stature but exuded an aura of authority. Kudaru was a no nonsense man and he would be here for only as long as it took. He had finally received word of the meeting that he had been anticipating. He stoutly waved to the owners and took seat in one of the tables outside. He smoothed out his graying hair and massaged his eyes before settling his gaze on the entrances to the street. He was here to meet someone.
Above him, Fukai was alerted to the presence of a customer. He slowly concentrated and exerted fuuton chakra from his pores. He controlled it so that it would slip over the balcony and remain to the side of the building. This was is mirage orb jutsu that allowed the reflection and refraction of light within it's radius. He opened a small mirrored circle no bigger than an apple to the side. There he could look at the circle and see the reflection of the cafe beneath it. There he spotted his supervisor. So he did show up.. Thankfully Fukai was right in guessing the meeting place, now he just had to wait for whoever else would show up.
