Inside the private room.
Nagato called Sasori.
"Sasori, roughly how long will it take to track down the IP address of the person I sent you?" Nagato asked once the call connected.
"This person seems pretty clever. They've set up a lot of smokescreens. A day at the earliest, Nagato. I'm also contacting Grandpa Orochiroku over in Konoha to see if we can find them any faster," Sasori said.
"All right. Sorry for the trouble, Sasori." Nagato nodded.
"Tomorrow at the earliest. We won't be able to find that person today," Nagato told Mei Terumi after hanging up.
"Huh? Another whole day? That's fine, I can wait! Since you're already here in Kirigakure, let me show you around," Mei Terumi suggested.
"Kirigakure... Um, maybe we shouldn't?" Thinking of the freak show Kirigakure had become, Nagato felt a little apprehensive.
"You're already here, and you're doing me such a huge favor. What's wrong with showing you around? Come on."
Nagato reluctantly followed Mei Terumi around Kirigakure...
Looking at all the bizarre characters out on the Street, Nagato had mixed feelings. His instincts told him that Uncle Dave definitely had something to do with the sorry state Kirigakure was in. At the very least, Uncle Dave was eighty percent responsible...
"Since we've got nothing to do, let's go get you a tattoo!" Mei Terumi looked around Kirigakure, then turned to Nagato with a delighted expression.
"What?? Get me a tattoo? I'm not going!" Nagato hurriedly shook his head.
A tattoo? Nagato shuddered at the thought of having some dragon draped over his shoulder or a tiger descending a mountain tattooed on his back. It was horrifying. He didn't even dare imagine how Yahiko and the others would mock him if he really got any of that ridiculous stuff tattooed on him.
Just
