Scarlet, Tenzo and others appeared at the gate of the entrance of the village hidden in the mist. There were two guards guarding at the entrance while one was checking the people. Scarlet and others went towards the guards and showed the fake identities given by Tenzo. After verifying the identities they let enter the gates.
After entering the village they greedily breathed in the air and sighed in relief. Tenzo said, "Let's go to a tavern and eat something, we can also collect information while we are at it." Others nodded hearing that soon they travelled towards a tavern.
All of them sat on the chairs arranged at the tavern while Tenzo went to order the dishes. Soon they started to listen to what people said.
"Oi! I heard that the situation in the village is getting worse"
"Heh! What happened?"
"Our village has been weakening a lot because of the loss of shinobi in internal trifles"
"But Yagura sama has done this to strengthen the quality of shinobi"
"What strengthening? Our village is suffering due to lack of shinobi instead"
"At least we got rid of those creepy people with blood limits. One of them grows bone out of nowhere, one of them makes ice and one of them transforms their body into the water. I get really scared watching them. Thank god most of them are killed."
"Are you an idiot? Every village many people with their own blood limits. Konoha has many clans with blood limit like Nara clan, Yamanaka clan, Hyuuga clan, Akimichi clan etc. Do you think ordinary shinobi can face them? We had the help of the shinobi with blood limit to face them in the third shinobi war but now who van face them?"
"Hmm what you said is true, we should also support Terumi Mei sama along with the revolutionary forces to overthrow Yagura sama"
"But the forces are not yet sufficient, there are still many people who are loyal to Yagura sama. If we join them now we will be at risk"
"Hmm, you are indeed right. Let us observe how the battle between them goes and we can just go and support the winning member but I just wish that Terumi Mei sama wins"
Listening to these words Scarlet thinks 'Hmm interesting, it seems that Terumi Mei has not become the Mizukage yet. She has a lot of popularity. I don't know if I can meet her as I have something that I have to return to her.'
Tenzo returns with the dishes. All of them ate the dishes, they felt that the dishes made by Scarlet were much more delicious compared to that of the tavern. After eating Tenzo said "Now all of you do some shopping and collect information while you are at it. We will meet at the tavern after collecting the information."
Soon all of them scattered in different directions. Scarlet went towards the market. Scarlet felt a little sad for the people of the village hidden in the mist. The houses here were made of stones which looked old, they should have long been renovated.
Scarlet also liked the environment here, the land was mostly covered with mist which made it suitable for assassination. Scarlet saw a lottery shop which had many items ranging from toys to ninja tools and famous ninjutsu.
Scarlet got interested and went towards the lottery shop. She slowly observed the items, when she saw a token with the symbol of Ice she felt the urge to take it. She intuitively felt that it was related to the Yuki bloodline she now possessed. She then observed its place which was number 63.
She went to the blonde-haired, dark-skinned burly man who was the shop owner and gave him 100 Ryo and started to select a ticket. Scarlet used her power of space and searched for the ticket for the number 63. After she felt the ticket she selected it and gave it to the shop owner.
The owned scratched the ticket and revealed the number 63. One of the workers brought the token to the owner. The owner held the token as he said "Miss would you like to sell this token to me for 1000 Ryo."
Scarlet answered with a cold voice "What do you mean? Aren't you going to be the prize I won in the lottery? I am not going the sell this no matter what the price."
Seeing the reaction of other customers the shop owner reluctantly handed over the token as he thought 'Damn it, I found this token in the ruins of the Yuki clan. I wanted any survivor of the clan to take it so that he could lead me to the treasure but now it was taken by that ordinary girl. Since you insisted on taking the crystal then don't blame me for being cruel.'
Scarlet then took the token and went to collect more information. The shopkeeper's eyes had a sharp glint as he watched scarlet walk away. He looked at the worker in the shop and nodded at him as he disappeared from the shop.
