Hot and humid, things that often came together across The Land of Tea.
Walking through that very land was the Ex-Bannin of Konoha, Aizawa Yoru he didn’t feel comfortable been so close to his homeland. Just across the border was an entire village of powerful shinobi would be on alert, ready to pounce on him at any moment. Though for now he was hidden within the crowds of people, wearing a straw hat over his head hiding his appearance to the most modest amount though it would be enough for now, any shinobi worth his salt would see straight through a transformation jutsu, there was no need for him to waste his chakra, plus he’d soon be revealing himself to a Konoha Shinobi.
Natuski, Yozei. The bastard son of Takeo who shared the same last name. The pair had arranged to meet up, corresponding over letters in secret. Yoru hoped that Yozei could be his eyes and ears in Konoha, make sure that the village was on the right path, that his brother was doing well, that he was safe. Today was the day they had planned to meet in person, Yoru felt Yozei was a young man he could manipulate, twist him into his own image and turn him against Takeo. Free Konoha of it’s foolish leader, make him a fleeting memory, make him a ghost of Konoha.
His first steps on this manipulation would be a gift, that he had neatly wrapped in brown paper and string and hung it over his shoulder, and he’d treat him to dinner. It was Yozei’s 18th birthday fairly soon. Yoru believing that he could be the farther figure that Takeo seemed to struggle to be, someone that Yozei feels he can trust.
Yoru came to the restaurant and gently placed his hand on the door pushing it open and stepping through, it was obviously a high-end restaurant, soft beautiful music playing by a live band, the waiters all dressed in well fitted navy blue kimonos. The Maitre’D wearing a matching kimono shuffled over to Yoru holding out a ledger with a list of names, which Yoru pointed to immediately confirming his reservation.
His hat was taken and hung up, the Maitre’D offered to take the parcel from over his shoulder, but Yoru politely declined, he was then immediately lead through rows of filled tables, plates of beautiful looking food and copious amounts of drinks. He pondered if Yozei would of ever been to a place like this. Even though manipulation was at the forefront of his mind, he did care for his young nephew and wanted him to enjoy his birthday, he wanted Yozei and Konoha to be happy and they’d both be better off without Takeo.
He was offered a seat at a low positioned, black sleek table. He obliged, bending down at sitting on his knees, resting the gift across the table. Now he’d simply have to wait for the birthday boy.

The Ghost of Konoha
As Fanho strolled through the little quaint Tea Country town he turned to Inori as they stood outside of the restaurant. Fanho was fairly certain Yoru was not aware they were there, and that it was a bit of a setup. Well at least for Fanho this wouldn't exactly be a normal ambush. The young Bannin had instructed Inori to dress inconspicuously and traditionally for Tea Country natives as the Bannin stood out like a sore thumb dressed in shinobi gear with Konoha emblazoned on his jacket. "Alright so take up a place by the bar or somewhere in a corner just outside of Yoru's eye sight. He's got sensory so he may sense you, but I just sorta need you in a blind spot. Go ahead and enter before me, I'm not going in exactly subtle. Isn't quite my style." As he ushered Inori in and waited a while outside while the young Yamanaka took his reservation somewhere within the establishment, Fanho took a deep breath readying himself for what would happen next. "Show time."
Fanho threw the doors open as he announced himself to the restaurant. "Rev up those fryers cause I sure am hungry!" The bombastic Bannin would've made quite an entrance so much so it would undoubtedly alert Yoru to his presence, and let the fugitive know that this was indeed a setup. As Fanho had done a quick scan of the prior to entering he pointed at Yoru's table as the Maitre'D came over to quell the Bannin's spontaneous outburst. "Excuse me sir, I'm with that man at that table. Apologies for being... Well spoken?" The Bannin walked as the Maitre'D followed him to Yoru's table as the Bannin sat down across to the vermilion haired man. "Long time no see huh? Last time we saw each other I think you tried to stab ol' wolf man if I'm not mistaken." The Awai bannin grabbed a hold of Yoru's menu as he pulled it down so Fanho could read it upside down.
"Birthday boy was a little busy so I figured I'd stop in for a drink and to say hello."

The Ghost of Konoha
Yoru’s single hazel eye fell upon the menu in front of him, perusing the menu it had a variety of food though the restaurant specialised in gourmet dumplings. The waitress came over and asked him what he wanted to drink “A bottle of sake and two glasses.” She nodded, turned on her heels and left.
His relaxing meal and reunion with his nephew would end before it even started, as the young Bannin of Konoha known as Fanho waltzed in, overly loud and obnoxiously. It was apparent to Yoru that Yozei had set him up and wasn’t intending to come to the meeting at all.
Yoru would need to work fast, he didn’t have long and Fanho would be on him, he imagined he would be surrounded either plants within the establishment or around. Space time wouldn’t come inn much use, he was confident that Fanho like himself would have the ability to follow him through any portals created.
He withdrew a smoke pelleted with his left hand and kept it in a ball in his fist, with the right hand he withdrew an explosive tag and stuck it beneath the table. Yoru had mastered sleight of hand and moved with such speed and precision that it wouldn’t be seen Fanho or at least he hoped. He wouldn’t active anything for yet, he’d need to wait for the right moment.
Yoru glared at Fanho as he swaggered over and sat down in front of him, just as he said he’d join him for a drink the waitress came over at that exact moment and placed a bottle of sake on the table and two glasses. She poured Yoru and his new found guest a glass each and placed the bottle on the table.
“Are you ready to order?” Yoru turned to her and smiled, shaking his head “Not quite yet, I think we need a few more moments.” He said coolly, the waitress slipped away with a nod. The Ex Bannin of attention turned back to Fanho as he picked up the glass and offered to clink it with his old comrade, he flung the sake down his throat.
“I assumed one of you would be after me soon, but I wasn’t expecting you Fanho. Perhaps Takeo, Zakuro or even Yozei himself would bring me in.” He pondered for a moment as he rocked the glass back and forth between his fingers, wondering why Fanho of all people this would normally be a job for the Anbu, though they had yet to track him down as of yet which he thought was incredibly strange “The Anbu of Konoha seem to certainly be lacking, I haven’t heard one peep from them. I’m surprised Takeo hasn’t whipped them into shape.” A smirk ran across his face as it turned into a benevolent smile “So what next, what’s the plan?”

The Ghost of Konoha
Fanho watched with eagle eyes as he tracked the Aizawa's movements noticing the slick placement underneath the table, and the object tucked in his hands. Fanho smiled as he gave a shrug leaning in as he spoke. "Well you see I didn't expect to see myself out here either, but I also never picked you to go missing-nin. I guess we all keep surprising each other huh?" Fanho pitter-pattered the table with his hands before he pointed and tapped the table right where Yoru had placed his explosive tag. "You know you don't have to make a scene right? Put your toys away, I'm just here to talk. Besides, you're not a real missing ninja, you wouldn't put these civilians in harms way would you? We have yet to have a dead Konoha on our door step by your hands, just an.... Attempted murder on the Hokage is all? Minor incident, I guess we could say?" Fanho pulled down Yoru's menu once more as he peeked his options while his free hand poured Yoru a glass of sake before nudging it to him to do the same.
"So tell me what you've been up to, why you left, and whats got you so bummed out you'd wanna kill wolf man?" Fanho pointed to a set of dumplings he wanted that were lobster, a great delectable dish. He then patted the menu as he leaned back resting his head in the neck of hands. "Get whatever you want food wise, I'll pick up that tab if you got the sake. After all I am crashing your nephew's birthday dinner, only fair." The young Awai grinned as he put his foot up before gesturing to let Yoru take the wheel of the conversation. After all, Fanho wasn't here to fight, he was here to talk to the old bannin, and get a feel for what was going on. After all him and Takeo were sort of out of the loop, it'd be helpful to understand what was actually going on.

The Ghost of Konoha
Yoru’s eyes fell to the table, as though to be looking through it where the explosive tag was placed. It was apparent that his old friend Fanho had caught site of his movements, not many could keep of with Yoru’s movements, he moved with such speed and precision, it was almost invisible to the naked eye. Yet he had, he’d seen everything. Obviously he’d grown into a talented shinobi. If the rumours we’re true, Fanho was to be the next hokage, groomed by Takeo himself. Yoru pondered if he’d remained at the village, would he be in that position now. Not that Yoru would want it, Kageship was not written in the stars for a man like him.
His eyes still peered through the table, he could let the tag off right now and run. Fanho was fast, but if Yoru released his sage mode he could pick up the speed he needed to get away, even his spacetime wouldn’t be able to keep up. His hand twitched, ready to perform kai. However just as he was about to, a young couple sat down at the table near them, they’d certainly be caught in the blast. The Ex-Bannin of Konoha sighed loudly, his fingers came under the table and he peeled off the tag folded it up and placed it and the smoke pellet back in his pouch.
He had very little options now, he could fight Fanho hand to hand but from what he remembered the soon to be hokage had a very powerful nintaijutsu style that Yoru didn’t know enough about right now to counter, he could certainly give it a go and may even come on top, but there could be Anbu surrounding him and the entire restaurant, he had nowhere to go. His single hazel eye locked with the bright blue ones of Fanho, his nostrils flared and a smile crept across his face “Takeo is weak and he’s made a mockery of our home.” His words spat out with venom “Talking about him as ruined my appetite, perhaps let’s have dinner another time.”
He extended his arms out palms up as though to be offering his wrists to be cuffed, he knew there was no other option now, but he planned to make the most of it “Shall we head home then Fanho? If you’d be so kind of to carry my gift.” He nodded to the parcel on the table, if Fanho were to look he’d seed a sword within, intended as a gift for Takeo’s son.

Fanho politely smiled as Yoru's hands twitched itching to make an escape. Despite Fanho's words it seems being a Missing-Nin had changed Yoru slightly. For a man who used to care deeply it was worrisome just how much he had considered blowing up the establishment for the sake of escaping despite Fanho making it clear he had no ill intentions, for all intents and purposes it was clear Yoru was still suspicious. "Leaving so soon? So easily? You were just about to try and blow me up to escape." Fanho squinted as he scratched his face before resting his face on his fist. He shrugged as he remain seated as he pushed the menu towards Yoru.
Fanho sighed as he motioned towards the waitress to place his dumpling order to-go. "We're at least waiting for my dumpling order. But in the meantime." Fanho channeled chakra to his finger tips as grabbed Yoru's arm as a seal began to form and crawl up forming on his back in a circle. In an instant Yoru would feel a switch turn off effectively disabling any chakra movement within the man. "If you touch that seal you're gonna have a bad time by the way." Fanho shot a finger gun towards his elder and winked as he patiently waited for his dumplings. He took the gift from Yoru before leaning back over and tucking it into Yoru's bag. "I'll let you keep hold of it. In-case you tried to sneak some kind of paper bomb in it, I quite like to keep my behind, well behind me if I must." Fanho gestured towards Yoru to have him elaborate on his disdain for Takeo. "So while we got time to burn for the dumplings, explain to me why Takeo is weak and a mockery of the village? Seems like everyone is out of the loop but you."

The Ghost of Konoha
A smile ran across Yoru’s face as Fanho suggested that he was about to blow him up, he almost snorted at the notion and shook his head “A small explosive tag would do next to nothing to a shinobi of your merit and you know it. It would have caused enough of a distraction for me to run.” He tilted his head to the couple who had sat near them “Unfortunately our other dinner guests came into the blast range.” He sighed softly, with a tone of defeat. He knew his number was up and there was little reason to even attempt an escape.
He didn’t resist as Fanho placed the seal upon him, he’d already given his wrists to be handcuffed so it was no surprise to him that a fuuin would be placed. He pondered if he could break free if he truly wanted, Yoru was skilled when it came to fuuin. If he pulled off his eyepatch, he’d be able to read it in a moment and see how complex the seal was, for now though it didn’t matter.
He smiled once again at Fanho’s joke and shook his head “It’s simply a sword, nothing booby trapped. It was meant as a gift for young Yozei, but after his discrepancy today I’m not quite sure he deserves it.” He said with a soft chuckle, though his chuckle came to a sudden halt as the topic of Takeo came up once again.
“He’s moronic, careless, selfish and has little to no foresight. He actions hurt the citizens of Konoha physically and emotionally.” His fist slammed onto the table “His acitons lead that stupid c*nt Kenji right to me, my eye ripped from my skull! he barked out, his nostrils flared and his single hazel eye seemed wild “No matter what happens here today Fanho, you need to take his place. Konoha will fall in his hands.” He begged.
