As Shinra stepped in with Takahiro, they got to talking to Keldran, reporting about the affairs of Sunagakure.

"It is my assumption that the reinforcements for Sunagakure were never provided, we spotted tactical wear and headbands of ninja from different villages. Upon arrival at the village we expected to find some sort of encampment but the village was abandoned aside from one sole survivor who committed herself to death." He continued to speak, eyes forward and upward as he recounted what they had witenessed.

"There were several large blast zones caked in dark soot unlike any carbon material I have worked with in the past and could not find myself being able to manipulate with my earth release.  I assume either they were crystalline in structure or the result of some kekkei genkai. This was further confirmed as we found the rods of the items that caused said dark soot material."

"At the end of the destruction we found the body of Ranta next to someone from the very organization that had placed its emblem and flag around outside of Sunagakure, a dark robe affixed with red clouds spaced equidistant from each other. It is my professional opinion that the red cloud that has been sighted at other places involving 'bandits' is related. From as far as two years back toward my first mission, there were bandits armed with jutsu and tools beyond what a bandit should have. There might be a larger scale criminal organization that may or may not have been wiped out due to the efforts of Ranta." He cleared his throat and looked down at the floor.

"I have also discovered that my clan possesses a kekkei genkai involving magnetism, the library is nearly finished and I would like to move it soon. Also I wanted to discuss with you about being given some form of job to help with the village officially." He didn't want to request being the advisor unless there was some sort of hint for it, it would be unwise of a vassal to ask their lord for more land or a larger stipend, let alone a promotion.
