Suigetsu entered Konoha through the main gates, striding confidently in as if it was something he did every day. He didn't really bother to check if Karin was following. The girl was only going to be a bother, since none of them had been too thrilled about being sent in this together. But Sasuke made sense, they needed the info and he couldn't go because almost anyone in this village would be able to recognize him perfectly.
The two (fine, three, but Karin was brainless so she didn't count) of them had planned this carefully the other night. Suigetsu and Karin were to go in together, as visitors. They had procured a couple of headbands from some drunken idiots who were dozing off in a tavern on the side of the road. They were from Amegakure, so that should hold enough as a disguise for a while. No one in Konoha should normally know too much about that village.
Then, they were going to take a tour and ask around, preferably in a few stores and at a couple of food stands, where lots of people came and things were discussed and gossiped more often. The main point of that was doing it exactly as if they were only casually interested, instead of showing how they actually needed the information. That would raise suspicions otherwise. Caution was needed.
Suigetsu looked apprehensively down the street ahead of him, checking out the other people. He stopped, figuring he'd have to wait for Karin anyway. She had gotten pissed last time he asked her to stop and rest. It was easy and clear for her, she didn't have a huge sword to carry heaving on her back. She probably wouldn't last ten seconds if she did. That, however, never stopped her from commenting about his frequent halts.
As he waited for her, wondering if she was actually gonna start talking to him again after the last insult, Suigetsu took another bottle of water from his side, popping it open with his thumb. He grabbed the straw and placed it inside, then took the end that stuck out to his mouth and sipped through. d**n. The water was kind of warm already, after traveling under the sun for so long.
He endured it anyway. He needed that drink. They could find a fresher one later.
