Why? For the poison (why do we need the poison)? For the team bonding (why does murdering a civilian help that)?

Good chapter. Too tired to try and process the Ino-related parts but overall I'd say that conversation went well. Holding hands is a good sign.
Tentatively in favor of doing the side-quest, seems like a good way to involve Minami and hey, maybe this will finally be our milk run? We're certainly due :₽

For the mission, we need to find out where this guy is and if he's hired the ninja yet. If he hasn't, we could probably just disguise ourselves as missing-nin and say we heard he was looking to hire some ninja and that we're up for a quick job in order to get close, then just knock him out once we're close and abscond with him quickly.
Jiraiya told us to do missions for his contacts at our discretion, which means he puts enough value on us actually helping out his contacts that the main mission isn't so important that it has to be done as quickly as possible. Quickly, yes, but we apparently can afford some side-missions.
As long as this guy hasn't hired ninja already, the mission should be fairly trivial.

I vote we let Minami decide whether we go for the assassination. Showing that we trust her to make the right call might get it through her head that we aren't pretending to respect her.

Assuming the contact's intel is correct, we should be able to lure the guy out to prepared ground by posing as a ninja wanting to be hired. We then shake him down, or in the worst case fight an already hired ninja (or three -- on prepared ground). Very little risk.
Of course we do need to do some work to double check the intel, and (imo) drop it like a hot sack of potatoes if anything seems fishy.

We can always trade the poison to other contacts if we want. Also we get to follow dads footsteps and loot the warehouse.
My only interest is to see if Noburi could do something with it.
Although trying to draw charka out of it would probably result in him getting poisoned or something equally nasty.

Sure, albeit unlikely. What information could we look for that would increase or decrease the relative probability of this hypothesis?
Who knows? It might come in handy. As far as we know, we basically just have to rough up a civilian for it. Would you agree that if it is as simple as roughing up a civilian, that the work is worth it?

If he's secretly anti-Leaf, we already messed up big time by giving him that message from the Hokage. Beating up an outlaw for him doesn't really make that any worse, and if we think we should assume he's an enemy regardless, we should just kill him now and hope it doesn't end up as Kabuto 2.0
We don't have any reason to suspect him aside from general all-encompasing suspicions, and unless we find more of a reason then we should assume he's as friendly as our Spymaster Hokage told us he is.

- Yes.
You bring up a good point.
We should just kill him.
Hazou: Hi Jira- Hokage-sama! We've finished securing your intelligence network!
Jiraiya: Would this have anything to do with the string of massive explosions throughout the Elemental Nations that just so happens to coincide with the route I gave you?
Hazou: Yep, we've ensured that none of your agents could be compromised!

His main drive has been to be special. He feels bound by his bloodline and clan to an unappreciated support role as a battery.
His interest in medicine is a combination of "oh wow, this makes me valuable as more than chakra storage" and what looks like a natural aptitude. The bio thing is probably a combination of it being useful to understanding medicine, and Kagome and Hazou having some influence on him.
Eh, having the skill itself has been limited for now, but it's largely a matter of whether we need to depend on Kagome. Having a powerful sealer around is not a sure thing.
The difference is that Hazou has a track record. The skytowers and skywalkers both. We also came up with a number of older ideas on our own and are using them in creative ways.
For everyone else, it's 3 bloodlines, a capable jounin (who happens to be sexually compatible with Jiraiya) and a sealmaster. He also likely knows the actual circumstances behind the Noodle Incident, and had made allowances for loyalty based on that.
It's a quest, we literally asked for them.
He has, though our perception of Kagome is colored by the fact be that he's Hazou's teacher.
It's triage, he has an immense amount of stuff to deal with. He doesn't have the time to protect us from clan machinations on top of everything else. He's sending us off on a low combat mission that plays to our strengths (long distance movement and stealth) to give him one less thing to worry about in the short term.

But @faflec, have you considered that even if you -think- you killed someone, turned the body to pulp, turned the pulp into ashes, and spread the ashes to a strong east wind, that the whole thing could have just been Genjutsu and they're waiting for you to drop your guard so they can strike?

If that happens, you have to at least pretend to drop your guard, otherwise they'll realise you saw through the genjutsu and try something even worse next time.
Explosives are more important
Yes, but if you can work in poisons with your explosions, they'll be extra deadly.

What kind of person can survive explosions but not poisons?
