He took another swig and sent the liquid down his throat with a gulp. It was pretty early but the jounin was seated at the bar in his living room having a drink. The whole episode with the village hidden in the mist -kirigakure no sato was over but anyone that knew better would have a feeling that things just wouldn't end there. There was some other reason for this invasion and even though the fire had been quenched this time, something else was sure to resurface soon. Syn hadn't heard anything about Kaekio ever since the incident and due to how high he was in the ranks of kumogakure shinobi, if he hadn't heard anything then that only meant that the raikage wasn't ready to let out information concerning the issue. Syn didn't mind, he was just about the safety of the village and the efficient performance of his own duties so if he was taking a drink this early in the morning, then he felt he had earned the freedom to do so.
Before he hit the sack the previous night, he had received a message via a messenger bird that had perched on his window. He had removed the scroll placed in the catridge attached to the bird's leg and unscrolled it. Pressing a bit of his chakra unto the surface of the scroll, the writing on the piece of paper became visible. The message was from Hisashi, one of his informants in the land of frosts - a smaller village a little off the wilderness of the the village hidden in the clouds. The message read; "Twelveth monkey, your expertise in what we both know is needed. An assassination was attempted on my life in the early hours of today and I managed to fight off this foe but she fled. I let her go and secretly tracked her to an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the village where nobody goes. This opponent is highly skilled and I advise you to be cautious. Do this for me and our network of information would know no bounds. -6th dragon"
The message ended with a little map detailing the whereabouts of this abandoned mansion that was mentioned. Hisashi had been good to him in terms of information and favours too. Now was his chance to help him and he wouldn't back down on it. If anyone were to cut down Hisashi, that would be a great loss to Syn and it would take a while to fill the hole that would be created in the information network he had formed.
The jounin had only gone half way down the bottle and he felt that was enough. He hadn't taken enough to blur his vision or to cause him to stagger. He stood up from where he sat and returned the bottle and glass to the shelve before heading up the wooden stairs. He undressed and walked into the shower, standing under the cold water and washing himself for a few minutes. He was soon done and out of the shower, quickly drying himself and suiting up. He wore the camelio suit underneath and then a black coat and black pants along with black high soled killer boots for threading the snow or crushing creatures to death. He inserted his scrolls in pouches around his waist and checked his ninja bag to ensure all the projectiles and items were intact. He strapped his scythe to his back first and then sheathed his katana in it's scabbard. He wasn't very good with it yet but he was sure he could try. The journey to the land of frosts wasn't very far or too hectic but it would take one day at most. This time, he wasn't placing his head band above his left eye to cover his sharingan rather it was a simple leather pouch that he slid over it. This was personal business and he needed not drag the village into it.
The jounin exited his home making sure to lock it behind him. He then turned unto the path leading to the gates of the village. He was unhindered while walking through the gates and out to the wilderness. Once he was out, he took off at moderate speeds believing there was no need to start off quick and get exhausted later. At this pace, he would get there at the required time and not be fatigued too. The journey wasn't rough and there weren't any hold ups on the way so the journey was indeed a smooth one. As soon as he got within range of the village hidden in the frosts, he pulled to a stop. There was no need to go in yet since his target was on the village outskirts. He retrieved the scroll from his pocket and checked the map, Hisashi was indeed really good with information. Syn broke to his left and then took a right as he came in range of the village outskirts. The floors were all as white as they should be. The trees covered in little specks of snow and just few houses were visible on these outskirts. It seemed as if the area had been deserted. The temperature was a bit cold but it wasn't beyond what Syn could handle.
According to the map, he took another left and few meters away was this mansion which was all covered in frost. From the outer view, it appeared as if no one had visited the place in years and this was really a good place for an assassin to hide out. She must have probably studied the house and its compartments so Syn had to be careful if he did find her here. The jounin would approach the mansion that had four floors but he wouldn't go in through the front door. He would turn to the right and around the corner, he would climb upward easily and enter the first floor of the mansion. The vast room was divided in sections and the one he would be in was covered in dust. There was a grand piano to the far right of the room, a bar adjacent to it, few furnitures and the door that led out of the room was opposite Syn. He would move towards this door while making every of his steps as silent as they could ever be.
