Tadara had left his apartment after having been approached by the contact. Of course Tadara knew who the backer was but in this kind of business he would need to use the codes in lue of names. Just in case of people listening in. After all this first job felt more like a test than anything. With the simple act of observation being the main goal here. Iwagakure as a whole was almost a police state. Having made its security paramount to all else. Still where there was people there was crime. It was in their nature after all. His job was to locate this faction. Not some simple thief either but valuable contacts. Given the police going about this meant that he needed someone clever. Someone who could implement their criminal intentions without either getting caught or being capable of evading the authorities. Of course most wouldn't be able to do anything regarding these individuals but Tadara was confident in being able to spot them. He was after all possibly the most intelligent man in the nation. For someone to trick him would be a feat indeed. However Tadara knew just how he would go about this task. Simple as it was.
As it was simply observation for later purposes he would wait until nightfall. Any criminal worth their salt would do the same anyway. The night provided more cover and opportunity. So Tadara had set up on a roof over the market place with a black cloak. Tonight the clouds were heavy so no natural light broke through. Lights below would only serve to hide him further as it prevented the eyes of those below from adjusting to see him. He would wait there as snow fell slowly around them. Waiting and observing without any hint of boredom or care for his current task. He simply stood and watched with an empty gaze. Taking mental notes for later of those coming and going. Remaining still so as not to attract attention. Soon he would note a shipment being brought in through the back of one of the taverns. It appeared this was a place where drugs were moved in a large quantity. Drug peddling meant resources...intelligence enough for simple chemistry and a network if it was meant to succeed. He would wait until the shipment was finished and pay was returned...then followed the delivery man to a warehouse at the edge of the marketplace. Now that he knew their base of operations he was confident he had his contact. With that he would return to the contact with the information.
