"Give me weights for a good workout, this is just trash cleanup." Yamato moves to engage the former necromancer. It swings its claw in an attempt to strike at him but its injuries make it barely more combat effective than one of the recently dispatched zombies. This means that Yamato has no difficulty avoiding it. A stab to the heart and the creature is down, only for it to twitch and try to get up again.
*tch*
As it struggles, Yamato cuts off the head. The body and head convulse a bit more and then remain still, finally.
Now is the time that what passes for the local militia choose to arrive, armed mostly with swords that could be described as being in adequate condition.
"What happened here?" a large middle-aged man, apparently the leader, asks.
"I assume you're in charge of these men?" Yamato asks. The man nods. "From what I can see a necromancer has been in your town, gathering victims and raising an army for some time. That's been dealt with, but maybe you can explain things a bit more. Do you recognize him?" Yamato holds up the necromancer's head by the hair. Though the jaw is clearly no longer human the upper part of the face still retains features of the man it formerly was.
The man pales a bit. "I...ugh...think that's Saotome Saito. He's...was...a big landowner round here. Owned and ran one of the bigger mines in the mountain, son of a *#$%^..." he spits.
'Concealing the disappearances of multiple people takes skill and effort. More so than most can provide working on their own. In cases like this there's usually more than one culprit, and at this point just about anyone else in town might be involved. That's why undercover investigation is best to start with so as to not alert the targets someone has noticed their activities.
But when things go to hell like this, it's time for some direct application of rank and authority.'
Yamato reveals a Konoha hitai-ite. "My name is Yamato, Jounin of Konohagakure. This town is on quarantine until further notice. I'm expecting the aid of you and your men in enforcing that for the time being."
"Um, okay." the man replies, not willing to test Yamato with all the corpses around.
Even if any, or all of this militia are in on it, they can't really hide things now, anyway.
Yamato turns toward Higure and the summoned rats, Ichi and Ryoushi, that are present. "Ichi, I want you to go and relay what's happened here to Hokage-sama. Tell her we need containment and forensic teams here as soon as possible. Just make some more clones before you go, help keep an eye on things."
"Right." Ichi makes a couple hundred more of himself. After the shadow clones appear and move throughout the town the original disappears in a cloud of smoke, returning to wherever he was summoned from.
"Yuuhi, go and check on the client. Ryoushi, go with him in case more help needs to be summoned."
Ryoushi nods and will follow Higure towards where Shiki and Kamisori are.
Yamato once again turns to the leader of the milita.
"What's your name?"
"Gin."
"Gin-san, I'll need to speak to the mayor."
oog: Well, things are wrapping up, I guess. Anything anyone else wants to add? Higure, Shiki, and Higure-clone could do some more interacting with Kamisori getting treated and all that, then doing some more stuff in town if you really want to. Or we could just move things right to where reinforcments arrive and house is cleaned so to speak.
