The stranger was gone before Sasuke could demand any further answers, vanishing through a crowd that closed around him immediately after -- this was precisely why Sasuke hated crowds -- and then the so-called 'Silver Terror' was bidding again.
"We'll max out at a little over 100,000, then," he said with a nod, then adding with finality: "Let's take turns bidding against him so we don't up the price more than we have to. I'll see if he'll give up any answers in the meantime."
He'd spent too long leading Chuunin missions that, in the face of unexpected (if bizarre) thread, it was easy to forget that he was speaking to a superior. Turning, he started heading for the man again, relying on a powerful glare and the occasional clan recognition to work his way through -- only to find that the man had vanished from sight.
No -- not complete. There was a flash of silver hair that had Sasuke outright shoving through the crowd, breaking through the margin in order to chase after the tall figure heading away from the auction ground.
