"Excuse me?" A woman asks, wringing her hands nervously. Tobirama turns to her, tilting his head inquisitively. "Are you Senju Tobirama?"

"I am," he confirms and the woman relaxes, smiling in relief.

"Wonderful, u-um... do you know that you have a very angry pyromaniac trying to hunt you down?" That's... odd, to say the least. "We've been sending him off on wild goose chases but we also wanted to let you know, just in case." She shrugs and watches him carefully, blinking up at him.

"...Do you know his name?" Tobirama asks, suspicious.

"Uchiha Madara, Tobirama-san," she informs. He nods slightly with a sigh. Looks like his actions have drawn some unfavorable attention from Konoha. He was expecting it, particularly after that stunt with the scroll full of things they can improve on, but it's still annoying.

"Thank you," he says. "And... you said something about a 'we'...?" The woman grins.

"Tobirama-san, you have created yourself an army of thankful parents, teachers, and guardians. Others as well, but those are your main supporters. I'm surprised you haven't come across one of us yet," the woman says, strangely proud. Tobirama is... slightly terrified. Also impressed that there seems to be an operation of people across the Elemental Nations, probably made mostly of civilians, that have managed to keep themselves a secret from everyone. It also sounds vaguely cult-ish, but he's ignoring that part for his sanity.

"...Could you get word to me about Madara's whereabouts and the status of Konoha?" He inquires, curious about his weird spy network. The woman hums thoughtfully.

"Madara will be a piece of cake- shinobi that powerful always underestimate civilians. Konoha will be a little harder but I'll see what we can do for ya," she says. Tobirama nods and offers a smile.

"Thank you for this. Don't do anything that may put any of you in danger, though." The woman laughs.

"Boy, you have an honest to god cult and you're worried about us being in danger. That's sweet but a totally unfounded worry. Have a little bit of faith in us." The smile she flashes him is downright terrifying. He has been utterly underestimating civilians his entire life. That needs to be rectified immediately. He'll have to get his students and children onto part of the spy network as well as a precaution... maybe Shukaku as well? It'd probably do the Ichibi some good.

"Is there a way for me to get in contact with any of you?" He asks finally. The woman pats his arm.

"Oh don't you worry your pretty little head. We'll find you if we have anything for you." With that, the woman leaves and Tobirama is left feeling rather like he's been the last to be let in on a big secret. Which is technically true, he supposes. At least he has some sort of a support system, even if it comes in the form of a cult and not in the form of a village. It's sorta nice, actually.

He does need to get to Shukaku, though. He's been delayed and side-tracked enough.
