I followed Haku through the trees. She wasn't in a hurry. Casual stroll, like she was out for evening walk. Basket swinging. Whistling sometimes.
«She is heading toward the coast. Approximately 2 kilometers.»
Huh?, somethings are changed, from what I remember the hideout was somewhere around the jungle.
We hit the edge of a cliff. Below, nestled against the rocks, was a compound. Big. Several buildings. Lights in the windows. Guards at the gate.
«Gatō's headquarters. Scanning... Two notable chakra signatures. Top floor. One jōnin-level but depleted, likely Zabuza, still recovering. One high chūnin-level, Haku. And Multiple civilian signatures on lower and middle floors.»
Guards?.
«Correct.»
I watched Haku walk through the front gate. The guards didn't stop her. They didn't stop her, and let her right in.
Time to work.
---
I ducked behind a tree and transformed. Twenty-something guy. Black clothes. Face mask. The kind of dude you see in a crowd and immediately forget.
«Transformation integrity: 100%. Chakra suppression: active.»
Let's go.
The front gate had two guards. I didn't go through the front gate. I went over the wall. silently without no one noticing me.
Then Landed in a shadow.
First guard was standing by a storage shed, smoking. I came up behind him. One hand over his mouth. One kunai handle to his temple. The guy went limp.
Caught him before he hit the ground. then Laid him down gently.
«One down. Seventeen to go.»
You're counting?
«I Always am.»
I worked my way through the lower floors. One by one. Guards dropped. I did not make a single noise. No alarms. Just a shadow moving through shadows, leaving unconscious bodies behind sending them to Jesus.
On the Middle floor. I found A hallway. Two guards outside a door.
I threw two kunai. One hit each guard in the head, not the blade, the handle. Knocked them out cold. They started to fall. I moved and Caught both before they hit the ground, then Laid them down.
---
I opened the door.
Inside, a short man sat behind a desk. Fancy suit and wearing Glasses with a Creepy ass mustache. Gatō,
Two women were with him. Young. maybe in their Twenties. They were sitting on a couch, Gato was in the middle and the two women were besides him on each side.
Gatō looked up. His eyes went wide.
"Who the hell are you?!"
I pulled a katana from my storage seal. Pointed it at the women.
"You two. Get out. Now."
They didn't need to be told twice. They scrambled past me, out the door.
The moment they were outside, I created two shadow clones.
Poof.
"One of you, knock them out. Don't kill them."
The clone nodded. Ran after them.
"you. setup Noise-cancelling seals. Around the room."
The second clone pulled out paper and a brush. Started drawing.
Gatō was sweating. His hand was reaching for something under his desk.
"Don't," I said.
He stopped.
"Guards!" he yelled.
No one came.
"GUARDS!!!"
I tilted my head. "They're a little... Dead right now."
Gatō's face went pale.
---
"Look," he said, raising his hands. "Whatever they're paying you, I can double it. Triple it. Name your price."
I said nothing.
"I have money. Power. Women. You want women? I can get you women. Anything. Just don't..."
"Nuh uh."
He blinked. "What?"
"I'm not interested in your deal. I have a counter-offer."
His mouth opened. Closed. "What counter-offer?"
"All your money. Every last coin. You give it to me. I don't kill you."
He stared at me. "That's robbery."
"It's negotiation. Take it or leave it with your head detached."
He looked at the katana. Looked at my masked face. Looked at the clone drawing seals on the walls.
"...Fine. Fine! Take it! Just don't kill me!"
"Hmm."
I appeared behind him. He flinched. Almost fell out of his chair.
"Lead the way."
---
= The Vault =
He took me to the basement. it has a Thick door. A safe the size of a small car.
His hands were shaking as he dialed the combination.
Click.
The door swung open.
My eyes went wide.
Gawd Damn!!.
Money... Stacks apron Staks of it. Gold bars. Jewelry. Scrolls. The safe was absolutely loaded.
«Estimated value: 23 billion ryo.»
Holy shit!!.
«You are now very wealthy.»
I'm a twelve-year-old with 23 billion ryo.
Hell Yeah, Elon musk on my balls!.
«incorrect, Based on common calculations that equate 1 Naruto Ryo to approximately 10 Japanese Yen, So 23 billion Ryo would be 230 billion Yen. 1 JPY to USD: ~$0.0063, so what you have here is around 1.6 Billion dollars.»
«Elon musk have been stated to have around 800 billion dollars net worth, so what you have here is around 0.2% of his net worth, meaning you are on his balls instead.»
"..."
Jarvis... Shut yo bitch ass up.
«Nah I'd win»
Gatō was watching me. "That's... that's everything. I swear."
"Is there more?"
"No. That's all."
«He is lying.»
I moved.
Gatō screamed. His pinky finger was on the floor. Blood was everywhere.
"THAT WAS MY FINGER!"
"You lied. Where's the rest?"
"OKAY! OKAY!!!" He was crying now. full on Sobbing. Reached into his jacket with his good hand. Pulled out a stack of papers.
"These are the locations. Other warehouses. Property deeds. Everything. Please. No more fingers."
I took the papers. Flipped through them.
«These appear legitimate. Multiple locations across the Land of Fire.»
Noice.
"Thank you," I said.
Gatō's face relaxed. "So... we're good? You're not going to..."
Yeah... Um.. I killed him.
Clean and quick with One cut, buddy didn't feel a thing.
«You said you would spare him.»
Well I lied.
«That is dishonorable.»
He was a slaver and a murderer. I don't care.
I pulled out a storage scroll. Sealed his head inside.
---
= Cleanup =
I created eleven shadow clones. The room was getting crowded.
"Five of you. Go to these locations." I handed them the papers. "Collect everything. Bring it back here. Don't get caught."
They nodded. then Disappeared.
"Five of you. Clean up. No evidence. No bodies. No blood. Make it look like nothing happened."
They got to work.
"Last one." I pointed at the last clone. "you, Transform into Gatō. Go upstairs. Tell the remaining goons that you're leaving for a week. You'll be back. Don't let anyone suspect anything, if they do, Slime em"
The clone transformed. Looked exactly like Gatō. Same suit. Same glasses and the Same creepy mustache.
"On it," the clone said. Walked upstairs.
I looked around. The room was already being scrubbed. Blood was disappearing. Bodies were being moved.
«You have committed multiple crimes.»
I've committed multiple solutions.
«That is not how the law sees it.»
The law doesn't know and doesn't need to know.
I pulled out my storage seal tattoo. Started sealing the money. The gold. The jewels. Stack by stack. The safe emptied.
«All 23 billion~ ryo has been secured.»
«Plus the property.»
I looked at the empty safe. The clean floor. The clones working silently.
We're done here.
«Are you satisfied?»
Gatō's dead. His money is mine. Zabuza and Haku are still upstairs. But that's a problem for another day.
«You are not going to confront them?»
Not tonight. Tonight, I'm going back to Tazuna's house. And tomorrow, I'm going to act like nothing happened.
«That is probably wise.»
Probably I guess.
I walked out of the basement. Through the empty halls. Past the unconscious guards. Out the back door.
The moon was high. The air was cold.
Then I headed back to tazuna's house.
