Excuse me. Would you... Would you do me a favor?

It's about my father, who runs the clothing store. His name is Kamedeya, but he doesn't exactly have the best reputation...

That's because he's teamed up with the castellan of Ninja Castle to engage in illegal poison trafficking.

He's collecting poison used by Chunin and selling it on the black market. He gives a portion of the profits to the castellan and they both profit.

But my father's being tricked! He has to be! My father was always a good-hearted, kind man! The castellan was also known for his gentle manners and love for the people. Something's happened to both of them and I am determined to get to the bottom of this!

But I need your help. I've tried to ask others, but everyone is too scared to even look in the direction of Ninja Castle because of the deadly ninjas inside...

I'd go myself, but I got into an argument with the gatekeeper and have been banned from the castle. So please, could you help? Please, please, please?

Thank you! According to what I've heard, someone is already investigating the castle. I'd like you to meet up with that person. I don't know who it is, though, or why they're there, or where they are, or anything. I'm sorry I can't be more help.

Oh, no worries. I'm asking you to risk your life, after all. I'll just have to find someone who's braver. Thank you anyway.

What brings you to a place like this...?

What did you say!? You think there's something wrong with the castellan?! How did you--

Ah, that kid Aoi must've told you. Well, then, I guess you can be trusted. I'll fill you in. You see, someone's asked me to investigate the castle, too, and that's exactly what I've been doing.

Just wait here for a minute while I go and report this unexpected occurrence. I'll be right back. Talk to me in just a few minutes.
