Kunai - one of the most common tools used by ninjas. It is a black dagger - about the length of one's hand - with a handle wrapped in bandages and a circular end.

Losing Naga was easy. After we left the shrine, I was able to blend in the crowd and get away. But I'm not entirely out of the woods yet. I am still here in the street where they're holding the festival -- specifically, I am in the performance space for the contest participants which ironically proved very useful to me. I had the opportunity to put my dark-rimmed glasses away and change clothes in one of the tents they provided for the participants.

Realizing that my dark grey leggings and long-sleeved jacket might stand out from the crowd, I got a participant from the contest to sell me his beige robe which is certainly plain enough to hide my clothes and make me blend in the crowd. The fact that the robe has a hood helps me conceal myself as well. I place a Kitkat syringe in my pocket just in case, I might need to use it if I am ever attacked.

I still have Grandma Ai's yukata though. Returning it is out of the question. Besides, it would be rude to send it back in its current smelly state. I'll have it cleaned then send it to her after I finish my mission. Maybe, I can deliver it myself so I can get to visit Naga as well.
