The parchment was warped from water damage and ink blots obscured large portions, but the remaining words were legible.
Hey old friend! How's it going?
I had Samidare send two more copies for safety, but ██████████ █████ didn't send more, just in case. ██████████████████? Whatever. I stopped ██████████ I left. But, Sarutobi if you're reading this, thanks for not coming after me. Also: someone has a better information network than you. Jiraiya ███████ at you, too. Fix it.
Mercs have been sniffing around my place three times in the last month. █████ I don't know if they're black market or village-backed. None of them came close, but this means someone's figured out my sealwork and that means they'll have cracked your privacy seals too, Jiraiya. Fix it.
It also means someone's caught wind that I've left █████████ I've told no one so █████████ ████████ whatever. The dōjutsu clans don't need my advice. █████████████████ If it's you, Sarutobi, ██████ stop it. If it isn't, well, again: someone has a better information network than you.
I need one last favor. If I die, look after my daughter █████████████ ███████ and teach her how to handle the eyes and sign the summoning scroll. I won't be able to repay it, I'm sorry, but do NOT put this on her ████████████████ she'll see through all the old farts' controlling tricks so I'm not worried. ████████████ Don't bother about the father, he's nobody.
Haiko is three, going onto four. She's the best thing to ever happen to me and she's whip-crack smart and tell her I love her. Repeat it until she believes it. I'll direct her to the safe house they stopped stocking, the rundown one near the border. █████████████ she comes first, don't look for me ███████ get her to safety first. I'll leave her at the safe house they stopped stocking, near the border. She'll have the summoning scroll with her. I trust you know the temperment of the foxes. Misuse at your own peril.
I know I'm asking a little much. I'm sorry. On the strength of our friendship ██████████ please. Haiko has no where else to go.
