Tsurugi found himself compelled to crush a few things before seeing the elders on the next course of action.He was appalled at the hesitation of the elders to send assassins after the murderer, and more so by the shameful state in which the leader was found. Nude and desecrated..with a puncture wound the size of a fist in her chest. He ran through the mountain in his anger slicing apart the boulders along the mountain pass. He was going to finally be sent out by the council..it had taken to long.
"The fools took an entire week to allow me this mission. Have they no honor. Do they forget what this does to the image of our clan?"
He delivered a blow to the base of a mountain with the hilt of his sword, the quivering mountain rattled as his power of force radiated from him. He was covered in a shimmering wave of displaced air. It looked as if the air around him was being pushed and pulled as it was forced to swirl about him. The force energy he exerted when angered was dangerous..even for him. As he was at risk of pulling himself apart or worse.
Tsurugi knew his partners reputation as a silent an not too often seen killer. They'd never before been together on a mission due to the difference in skill set. It was obvious that Tsurugi wasn't one to sneak about. He snickered at the thought. He walked up the pass leading back into the village, his aura back to normal and his mood somber at best. He saw someone running along the side of the mountain above him and called out.
"Oi! Kensei my brother. Why is it that you run as if every single moment is an urgent one?"

"Nani..." Kensei said startled as he heard someone yell out his name mid run, leaping into the air and turning invisible, seemingly disappearing. Landing on a top of a tree, Kensei inspected the area, finding the one who called him out, a disgraced ninja of his village by the name of, "Kyoumou Tsurugi..." Kensei said to himself, jumping out of the tree and landing on the ground, running to the location of the partner assigned to him by the village elders.
Unmaking his invisibility as he arrived in front of the other ninja, Kensei seemed to have teleported from his previous location. "Tsurugi-dono, the elders have assigned us as a team for this assignment, tell me, what do you know of the murderer, we should compare information before we set out blindly." Kensei said, crossing his arms, his crimson cape wafting behind him.

Tsurugi felt strange, he wasn't used to the hide and seek style of this mission. It was his preference to seek and destroy, and targets where never this hard to find.
"What I deducted from the information recorded from the scene is that the murderer didn't actually fight the leader. There was no evidence of her using a single of her earth manipulation abilities, nor was there evidence of a struggle. As for the head guards, their blades had evidence of being wielded magically before they died. The trace of magic on the blades however is something we aren't familiar to..."
Tsurugi had strapped his huge blade to his back and was leaning against the wall of the mountain pass. He looked to Seishuku with a look of slight curiosity.
"And by the reaction of the elders..this is no normal murder. They seem to be having trouble analyzing the blood for one. And they have assigned ninja of opposite skill sets on a mission together. It may be that we haven't been informed of everything, either that or they feel it would be too much for a normal team to handle."
He looked up to the clouds blowing about the mountain tops with peculiar interest. Then he looked back to Seishuku.
"What do you know of the fiend in question?"

"From what i could gather the perpetrators blood has magical properties that make it corrosive. I also did not detect the signs that the leader put up a struggle, but the guards, their weapons had magical traces on them foreign to the user, and they were all killed by self inflected wounds. The only information I have been unable to surmise is why." Kensei said looking at Tsurugi, his mask hiding his anger.
"The guards could have used any number of jutsu to stop the intruder and didn't, his closeness to the leader leads me to believe this was no mere infiltration, she was total capable of defending herself, so that rules out sexual assault, the guards deaths and the motive of it all still elude me." Kensei continued.
"Let me know when you are ready to begin the search, it would seems the elders will not touch the case for fear of the culprits return here, I say we don't allow that to happen." Kensei said trying his best to mask his anger.

Tsurugi allowed a light growl of annoyance as he closed his eyes wondering about the topic. He had no intention of waiting for another attack. He wanted to destroy..no..he was obsessed with the destruction of this unknown assailant. He would crush and pull apart whatever had done this. His fists squeezed tightly and the ground beneath it was pushed in leaving a small pothole. He opened his eyes looking at his new partner.
"I've never been much for patience. I'm ready to go immediately if that's okay with you. We should start by looking into finding any leads on a man with corrosive blood. There shouldn't be many, if any."
He felt a trickle of blood roll off of the knuckles of the hand he'd squeezed shut. He sighed and looked back into the sky.
He spoke in an off hand voice.
"I want an apple.."
