She finally arrived. The three of them. Ikomiki was flanked by both her Paths of Pain, and all three of them would be cloaked upon the first sign of the village. Together with the Hiding in Camouflage Technique and the Silent Killing Technique it would be impossible to find them by anyone but the most skilled sensor. Numagakure was here- She was sure of it. The walls made it obvious, of course. It was the only settlement worth a damn in the Black Marshlands of the Land of Swamps. It was located mostly in the east of the country, near the border with the Land of Demons. Likely it was a first line of defense against any potential supernatural invasion by the country. It was utterly surrounded by barren wastelands and dead, dark forests and mires. The smell itself was awful, and the amount of insects that buzzed around had increased tenfold. Ikomiki was ready to be done with this all.
The three of them would scale the walls, and then the moment they were inside the village they would all spread out. It wasn’t anything like Konohagakure, or even Kirigakure. Much smaller, a true ‘village’ in comparison, it shouldn’t be hard for her to achieve her goals. With the shared vision the three of them would split out, and quickly through scouting she would identify her goals. There were thirty shinobi in the village exactly, and the location of the village’s leadership and exclusive scrolls would be similarly identified through some stealthy sneaking and scouting around. After that it was just to manage executing her plan.
One after another the shinobi would fall, their throats silently slit. After being killed they would be dragged away so the bodies wouldn’t be discovered, brought all to the same location within the village- A deserted alley where nobody was likely to go, and then they would all be shoved into the same dumpster. The scrolls would be one of the first things she stole, and after that it was just a methodological throat slitting contest. There were three of her and thirty shinobi, which left them ten each. Easy work, considering the slaughter she had achieved at the Moonspire. Eventually she would manage to complete her work, only an hour or so after she arrived. The sun was setting, and the village would be covered in darkness once again. Perhaps some villagers would begin to notice the absence of all their shinobi, but there hadn’t been any signs of struggle, or any witnesses to her violence. She had made sure of that. Four of the shinobi's bodies had already been turned into paths, leaving only twenty six in the dumpster.
Akihiro would be summoned the moment she finished, and the three of them would release their invisibility in the alley. The scroll she had collected, which she had already read the contents of, would be offered forward to Akihiro as he appeared. The ability to read that he had beamed into her mind happened to come in handy here.
“I completed the task you gave me. No witnesses, and no killing of civilians. There were thirty shinobi in this village, and they were the only things I killed. Other than a few mosquitos. All their bodies are in the dumpster beside you, besides four I turned into paths. I'd like to save the rest of them for later, if possible, and bring them all with us back to wherever we're going after this. I also found this scroll in the village’s administration building. It's apparently some secret technique they were working on. Something about reviving the dead?”
