It was probably a few hours after Ieyasu had returned to the village, giving him and his teammates just enough time to get patched up and have a good time at Yakiniku Q. Afterward however, Ieyasu and Yao Zu headed over to the Hokage's office with haste. The friendliness from then and now seemed to disappear, Ieyasu wasn't exactly being hostile but he didn't even know who the enemy was and he could be walking into its heart for all he knew. The Hokage was truly a respectable person, after all he was the strongest person in the village and there was more than enough reason to justify such a thing... it's just that little bead of uncertainty.

Once they had arrived in the Hokage's office, Ieyasu immediately bowed to be respectful towards the Hokage. Only getting up after a few seconds and turning to Yao Zu before he made his disappearance and made note of the debt he now held. Ieyasu hadn't thought about it since he returned, but now that he did he remembered his initial plan to get within the ranks of the Anbu to gather more confidential information regarding his friend. Being in there would still be more than helpful to come closer to understanding the mystery of the Fūma.

He took the seat the Hokage notioned to and sat down. With as much grace and respect as he could muster into his words, Ieyasu began to report of the mission, "The mission was a success and we were able to retrieve Yao Zu. Unfortunately we were unable to find the container mentioned in the briefing."

"We found Yao Zu after coming across a small squad of Suna-nin in search of the Wind Daimyō's daughter. Apparently she was also taken by the Rise, but we didn't find her either. They were looking to trade off Yao Zu for some reason to Gyugii and his brother Gouda. They might've just been trying to find out more about Konoha, but given Ame's forces compared to ours I think they might be trying to find allies to launch some sort of attack on our country and more importantly: Our village. We made a few mistakes in our actions, as squad leader I let myself get mad whenever Gyugii personally confronted us... but I think I'll be able to control myself better and make sure no one gets hurt on the next mission."

Ieyasu gave pause, allowing Ikeru to talk if he needed but there was something that was bothering the Akimichi that he needed to get off his chest as soon as possible.

"When we met... Gyugii mentioned something about the fact that our lives are kind of similar in that both of our dad's were horrible people. I'd be lying if I said I don't want to find out who he is and run him out of here for staining my clan's name. He said his name was Ryogin, but I've never heard that name in my life. I don't think he'd have a reason to lie though, even if he as wicked as he is. I thought you would know something about it."

Ieyasu's heartbeat quickened as he waited to hear of the Hokage's response. Something deep down inside him didn't like the idea of asking this but he knew he had to. It felt like there was something he didn't want to know that clashed with the fact he additionally did. He grew tense as he waited for Ikeru to speak on the matter.
