Shimiko had taken on quite of responsibility as her position in ANBU grew. Of course, with the increased responsibility came more power and discretion with whom she chose to share stat secrets. One of the first people that she had elected to informally grant clearance to was the Lady Superior of the Orthodox Church of Jashin. The situation with Ken had grown serious and it was possible that the Mizukage would refuse to play ball if that was the case then they'd need to be prepared for anything. Shimiko shared with Lady Mora her thoughts on how an operation to capture him could be conducted. Which assets Kumo could leverage and how. The two shared many meals together as they regularly met to hammer out a plan to bring the man to justice. The plan was complex and involved many moving parts. The first order of business was of course to contact Natsuru who according to the gate logs had went to Kirigakure. Shimiko presumed it was business but the reason ultimately didn't matter. A letter was penned essentially ordering Natsuru to partake in a tactical operation in the Land of Demons. Her role was to set up a sniper's position and take down Ken from afar while a pair of Kumo shinobi mopped him up and took him back to Kumo for trial. The letter was phrased carefully and then signed by Shimiko. This wasn't just an top secret mission request from Kumogakure, it was a request from a friend. The letter was placed in a manilla envelope and signed with the letters: TC. Shimiko and Lady Superior Mora talked over the other details of the plan, reached a consensus, and parted. Shimiko had a match to prepare for and she trusted the Orthodoxy's leader to quarterback the plan that they had discussed.
