There was already a force searching for him within the village, but not many were convinced the boy would stay willingly in the village after being accused of such crimes. Everyone knew that Kirigakure was not merciful to its criminals.
The two genin were given a picture of the suspect, one Aisaka Ten. He had short, dark hair and bright green eyes; he wouldn't be exactly easy to find in a crowd. The pursuers had a lead: someone had seen a young man fitting Ten's description leaving the village and heading west. Kimura and Ryota were informed to head in the same direction towards the seaside villages. A kid like him would probably attempt to flee to the mainland.
