"What would be the ideal way for such suspicions to fall?"

"There aren't many. Within the system would unsettle things; a foreign nation would risk war; 'wandering rogue nin' is going to provoke disbelief. 'Dead, but there's proof he was doing something illegal when he got himself killed meddling in a foreign nation' might be best, since Konoha would be 'at fault' in that situation, and it would go politely unmentioned to avoid hostility."

"Do you have such proof?"

"He keeps records. I'll be able to obtain enough to make things suspicious."

"What would you have us do?"

"If you're willing to help? I could use help making sure those records don't vanish conveniently."

"Standing guard would be a simple task. Or do you need to acquire them first?"

"Moving them and changing the seals might be the best bet. Or just grabbing them to bring directly to the Hokage, who'll probably realize I was involved anyways."

"How are they protected?"

"Seals, most likely. Which come in a tremendous variety, but most can be undone - I'm not an expert, but I'm decent."

"I'm not sure we'll be much help with that. But we will assist you as we can."

"Thanks - I'll need to think of other ways you guys can help, but I can do that while we're arranging the information..."

"This is all very sneaky."

"Shinobi usually are pretty sneaky, it helps with the not-dying."

"I usually go for a more straightforward approach."

"It might behoove you to expand your repertoire."

"Can't we just tell people the old guy was going to steal Shishui's eye?"

"Some people might not believe that. Some people - like my family - might believe that, blame Danzo's allies, and get up in arms. Some people might decide that the people who killed him are to blame, anyways, even if it could be argued as self-defense."

"People are hard."

"They are! Getting a sense for how the respond is a pretty rare skill."

"So how far is it to Konoha?"

"At this pace another fifteen minutes; I can go faster but that risks alarming people, and we'll want to thread between patrols anyways."

"Do you have a cover story in mind for our presence here?"

"Work in progress, but - someone I ran into on a mission who wanted to see Konoha, if you're not planning on showing off power levels. 'Dimensional shenanigans' if you are, which might be best if you want to have an impact on politics, and then the brass can develop their own cover story for the outside world."

"The latter would be preferable, I think, as it would not require the convincing impersonation of a native of this world."
