Modern Ninja

Klautz passed on the information which Akihiko probably already knew. Being a leader of such a huge number of residents Klautz refused to believe that Akihiko didn't have any influence over the drill.

But Klautz cannot lose his composure here unless he wants to make matters worse.

"Ha, don't act smart. I am asking about your origins!"

Klautz smirked.

"Don't you know that already?"

Klautz replied a question with another question to properly gauge the seriousness of the situation. He wanted to lead the conversation at Akihiko's own pace.

Klautz didn't have much information on Akihiko. Never met him, all he had heard of him were rumours and seen were his pictures. Ninjas sure can be mysterious.

Turned out, before Klautz could even finish his ninja training Akihiko had already mysteriously died in his village.

The ninjas of Kishiogakure believed that the cause of the death was a natural one but the real cause was always a mystery.
