She nods. "Yes."

"We'll keep our eyes open for trouble tonight. I'll figure out how to demonstrate my technique to Tsunade, too."

Naruto nods.

"I will take the first watch."

Naruto can take second, Sasuke can take third, and then they can settle in for the night.

The night is quiet. In the morning, Jiraiya doesn't appear for a long time, even several hours after he would usually be awake.

...He's probably just really hung-over but if he's not out by lunch then Naruto's knocking on his door.

Jiraiya staggers out in the late morning, gives the cook specific instructions on the creation of a foul-looking concoction, and curls up to nurse it in a corner.

"Uh, are we doing anything specific today, or should we just invent tasks for ourselves?" Naruto asks Jiraiya, voice quiet, once Jiraiya's had a few sips. 

(They can definitely do things like start investigating what Tsunade's been up to on their own...)

"Urggh... The second."

Still quietly: "Alright! Let us know if you need anything, okay?"

Jiraiya waves him off.

And off to his team! To plan... Whatever they're doing. Investigating why Tsunade might've been acting weird, maybe?

They should see if there are any other ninja in the area.

"Yeah. I got a few faces and names and general personalities prepared, so I could make clones to be them? Kind of increase how much ground we're covering, especially with asking around."

"That's probably safe enough."

He has four not-him faces - three girls and a boy. He lets his team see what they look like, though he'll be having them disperse into the town not quite all at once.

That will help reduce suspicion.

Aji's the first out, since Naruto's been using her a lot lately. She mostly repeats the thing of hanging around places Tsunade seems likely to frequent - bars and gambling dens - though she avoids anywhere that actually has Tsunade right now, and listens for rumors.

People are saying the Legendary Sucker's still in town, but she hasn't shown up to a table in a while, which is weird.

Weird! Did she lose big or something?

Not really. Actually, the last anyone knew, she won big at the slots.

Must be a real lucky slot machine! Maybe Aji should try her hand.

(Does anyone say which gambling den this was?)

It was a couple streets over.

Thanks!

She sticks around to chat and laugh and play for a while, improving her poker game with every round, and then meanders on over to the parlor where Tsunade supposedly won big.
