Eyes widening curiously at the magical rearrangement of the floor, Jack‘s jaw dropped slightly at the spectacle before him. Rather than the Hokage’s office, it was more fitting to claim that this was his domain. From what the lad could tell, everything was made of paper, shifting to Asato’s will as if his own dimension. Were invaders to somehow reach this deep into the sanctum, chances were high they’d get no further. His awe was short lived however upon hearing their leader’s surprise at the piñata.
Face displaying a bit of discomfort at Akuseru’s statement, he’d continue to listen patiently while their squad presented the mission report. Seeing how the young genin had paused to allow for any additional details, the dark haired lad cleared his throat quietly before coloring their adventure more fully. “We can confirm the Tsuchikage’s identity through several means. The description matches that of the individual we reported about on a prior mission. Following suit with our suspicions, her hand also had the same marking we bear… however it’s faded since then. She also had the hat. Everything matches up save for the additional four arms. We’re assuming those were hidden at the time.”
Allowing for Akuseru to finish his snippet, he’d continue to stand silently behind the youth. It was only after the boy had grown silent did the Chuunin continue. “The corpse was transported in this manner due to… extenuating circumstances. As Akuseru said, lingering around to analyze the corpse increased the threat of interfering third parties. Instead, the squad opted to relocate. Since carrying around our mission objective in broad daylight has its own troublesome implications, we made do with what was available. Carrying cases used for normal travel were too small considering the increased volume due to the extra extremities. In order to preserve the body as best we could… we opted for a more unorthodox method.” In hindsight, perhaps the trio should have ditched the pinata after safely entering Konoha's gates. Unfortunately the trio was too short sighted to have thought of such.
Shooting a brief darting glance at the two beside him, he’d attempt to gauge Asato’s reaction to their explanation. Hopefully he’d find it acceptable.
