Mission: False Information

"So not only did you try to make some moves on my wife but you also tried to lie to me." Hiroshi glared at them both but more at Jiraiya. Sakura was also glaring at the pervert who tried to get her to do something as stupid as kiss a rash.

"I apologize for his outrageous behavior, but we should start discussing the mission." Sakura gave the man a cool look as he stared at her.

"Fine, I sent a mission request to Konoha to investigate why some of my villagers have gone missing and turn up a week later dead with their hearts missing." Jiraiya and Sakura both sat up straighter and exchanged odd looks. It was even more strange that Hiroshi could say such a sentence without looking even a little bit worried.

"When did it all start?" Jiraiya asked seriously trying to get as much information as possible.

"A month ago."

"This isn't just a simple investigation like the mission said this is at least an A-rank mission. So why did you lie?" A silence settled over everyone in the room as they held their breath waiting for his answer.

"I'm not obligated to answer that." Jiraiya felt anger build in him and before he could even get out of his seat and grab the man Sakura was already there. She bared her teeth like a wild animal as she effortlessly lifted the man from his seat by his shirt.

"I'll make you talk." The Sannin was conflicted over whether he should stop the pinkette or not. The two had a staring contest to see who will crack first.

"Y'know that's Tsunade's very own student she learned everything from her including strength." His mind was made up he wasn't going to stop Sakura he was going to help her. "You should probably tell her what she wants to hear before there are some...accidents." Hiroshi's wife whose name they learned was Komoko looked back and forth between her husband and Sakura worry etched all over her face.

"Alright, I'll tell you just let me go," Sakura growled and let him go aggressively making him fall back into his chair.

"You see like Konoha we also have a council our council is full of old geezers who don't trust or like ninjas." Hiroshi stood up and walked over to a cabinet full of alcoholic drinks. He pulled out a bottle of sake and started drinking straight from the bottle. "The council wanted to start training willing citizens in the art of the samurai. Then it started changing; the trained samurai were making people join forcibly and taking over the village. All I could do was watch as my village was being torn apart and broken by those very people who were supposed to protect it. The council became corrupted and mad with power. My role in this village slowly started dwindling as I became nothing but a figurehead and sometimes a scapegoat. I could no longer send messages freely as everything I did was being monitored. I lied to avoid suspicion from the council. You came at a perfect time since the Samurai are out looking for our missing people. But I have a sneaking suspicion they aren't looking for our people but terrorizing other villages around us."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes as he could feel that there was something else Hiroshi wasn't telling them but he let it slide for now.

"In that case, we'll have to be discreet with our investigation. That means I'll be working in the shadows Sakura here will be asking the villagers some questions. Everyone loves a couple with a baby asking simple questions." Jiraiya grinned towards the pinkette who was glaring down at the floors.

"I-I don't think we should do this mission." Hiroshi stood up quickly with a panicked expression.

"If it's money then I'll give you the full pay that an A-rank mission pays. Please help me."
