"Sounds like a plan."

"Can you conjure for 'people who have ever had a Rinnegan'?"

"Ooh, probably." He cups his hands for people-models.

This gets:

-Himself

-Sasuke

-Control rod Sasuke

-A guy who looks severely physically disabled, with blood red hair

-Six assorted bodies with the control rods through them

-A guy who looks like he could be related to Sasuke

-The Sage of Six Paths

-The Sage's brother

-The Sage's mother

And no one else.

"So, the Sage, his brother, some Uchiha do you recognize him, space alien patient zero, and this rando."

" - That's Uchiha Madara, and resurrecting him would be a significantly worse idea than handing Itachi a Rinnegan. I don't recognize the rando."

"Let's see if rando has published anything!" Conjure.

No books or anything.

"No publications. I can do complete works and just try to skip his diary." Conjure.

Letters - to the Leaf, to Jiraiya, to assorted people whose names Cam won't recognize, many of the last speaking of revolution in couched terms. One thing identifying him as 'the God of Rain,' some apparently governmental memos and declarations... Does not have a diary.

"He corresponded with Jiraiya, if we want a character reference. He's the 'god of rain'? Whatever that means?"

"Rain's a small country. I think no one's heard much of them in over a decade, and last anyone knew they were ruled by Hanzo, who if he had the Rinnegan people would've noticed. He'd also probably be ancient by now..."

"If this guy was corresponding with Jiraiya he might also still be alive."

"Possible! Maybe Jiraiya knows."

"I don't think Jiraiya has a computer... We can ask him when we're back. Or get Naruto to ask him."

"I could email myself and ask him, but this only saves a couple hours."

"It's probably not a rush, anyways."

"I certainly hope not."

"If he's hostile we'd have a pretty big problem..."

"If he's alive, or if we get him back? You can shoo him if you get him back, yeah?"

"If he's alive. I'm not going to discount the possibility of someone overriding my control with the resurrection, though."

"Well, if he's a problem and alive, he was already both of those things and knowing is half the battle, as they say."

"Yeah."

They descend.

A Cam asks Jiraiya if he knows the rain god dude.

" - Yes. An old student. I'd - I'd heard he was dead, but he was much younger then... Can you check on that type of thing?"

"Yeah -" He alive?
