Summary
Akechi Goro leaped before looking - it was a simple opening, a simple proposition that would ingratiate him with his prime suspects. Their voices matched the ones he heard in Madarame's Palace. All he needed to do was confirm his suspicions. He rounded the corner and steel grey eyes focused on him as he appeared, sending his words to the back of his throat. Akechi's perfect smile bought him time, it always did. He was pleasant enough despite the empty-eyed looks possessed by the ones with lighter hair. Before continuing on his way after a miscommunication about food, he glanced over his shoulder, staring back at the lensed glare that practically pinned him against the wall.
Akechi set a task to add Amamiya Ren to his plans, unaware he already revealed his hand.
