Letter

To the honourable Elder,

Dated to the Ninth Year of the Honourable Third's Rule, Seventeenth Year of His Excellency, The Exalted Daimyo of Wind Country's Ascension.

From the Office of the Deputy-Chief, Department of Counterintelligence.

It has come to the attention of our Esteemed Department that the bounty for Sho Three-Heads and Hanako, of the House of Hiramasa-Sei, has been collected by Hatake Sakumo, of the Hidden Leaf Village and the very same has been disseminated to the Hidden Mist, Hidden Cloud akd Hidden Rain Villages. Since no proof of their untimely demise has been presented by any party, the Bounty Office has been contacted to provide further information regarding this issue.

As the executor of their will and a surviving member of their family, the Department humbly requests you to provide any further information regarding the honourable shinobi and kunoichi of our Village who have laid their life down to see us prosper.

Bounty Station 331-A, located in the Hana Province of Fire Country will collect the evidence and Hatake Sakumo will await payment there likewise.

With deepest condolences.
