Hanzo had remaned mostly silent during the exchanges, more because he was contemplating other things and others seemed apt to the task of inquiring with the Izumi.  "Then some of us should check with the bureaucrats and guilds that the merchants must deal with.  One of them will know of this merchant as well as where he could be found.  In the event that teardrop island does not provide us with everything we need.  Also, if the Oni is present on the island, it'll be easier to have allies bring weapons we can trust to deal with the Oni."  He knew Shugenja had the ability to send messages to one another, hopefully Meiwha would have it as well, since that is what would be required to make the last part of the plan work.<br/><br/>Hanzo knew that the fact that swords couldn't be brought onto the island was most likely custom and respect, however it would end immedately if the Oni went rampaging and he'd like someone to be able to bring reinforcements if the Thunder Guard proved as useful as they have been tonight.
