* Next Morning *
( Yuto Pov )
Me and Shiro were on a rooftop watching the guard that let the bandits through the gates. And as the guard walked to meet up with the bandits in the warehouse, following the guard to his home. And climbing through the roof and dropping an illusion smoke bomb into the window from above.
* Clank *
Guard:" What?" Before he could have time to react, I used genjutsu on him with the help of the illusion smoke bomb.
Guard:" L..Lady Hanako!!"
'Hanako, that's the name of the boss that's commanding the bandits.'
Manipulating the genjutsu and smoke, I tried to get as much information from the guard. Every single detail of his business with the bandits and also with Kazou who bribed him and some of the other guards.
Guard:" The letter Sir Kazou sent is in under the drawers Lady Hanako."
Getting the letters that seemed to be evidence of the involvement of Kazou and Hanako. Every bribe and order. And it wasn't just him as well. Many other people were in high places with the daimyo.
' Tsk, this should be bigger than just stealing assets. This is a coup d'etat, the first step in usurping the daimyo.'
As I pocketed the evidence, and just as I was about to leave, my sixth sense triggered. And seeing multiple paper bombs enter through the window.
"Ah fuck."
* BOOOOOOM!!!! *
I received the memories of the clone that exploded, it seems that the clone wasn't able to react fast enough with limited stats. It seems that the evidence was also burned as well. And the potential witness was killed.
' Goddammit, you just have to make things harder. And I can't go back without any evidence. I thought to myself as the crowds were making a commotion. Following the hooded person who threw the paper bombs through the buzzing crowds, I was able to blend in seamlessly.
Following the person to an alleyway. the person took off their hood and revealed that it was one of the two vice leaders. The man with the large chakra of the two.
Getting to the rooftop and stalking the four eyes as prey, he took out what looked to be a letter that he was about to burn. Acting quickly, I jumped off and used the hidden blade to assassinate him. But it seems that he managed to detect the danger, putting his hands up to defend himself. I dug through the hand and tried to push the blade into his neck.
He is struggling to free himself, and since I'm cutting through his hands, he can't use any jutsus. Slowly making my way to his neck, he started to shout.
???:" Hel...!!!" Before he could finish, I covered his mouth and plunged the blade into his neck.
Kakashi:" Yuto!!! I heard the explo...." Kakashi arrived with Pakkun as he saw me plunge the blade into him and look at Kakashi pleading for help with his eyes. As he finally stopped struggling, I stood up and picked up the paper. and read it.
Kakashi:" Why did you kill him, Yuto? we could've taken him for questioning. " He said with a serious face.
" Here." I gave him the paper that had evidence to kill the guard, and the two shinobis that were hired to investigate them signed by Kazou himself. Kakashi grabbed the paper and read it as well.
And as he was reading it, I pulled the dead body by its legs and sat it up by a dumpster, lowering his head and putting an empty beer bottle in his hand to make him look like he drunk himself to sleep.
And as I was doing this with Kakashi peeking at me once in a while.
Kakashi:" Well, this should be enough." Pocketing the paper, he asked me a question that I expected.
Kakashi:" So, how do you feel now."
Activating Gamer's mind, I spoke.
" Empty."
[ Deception successful ]
Kakashi:" You'll get used to it." He spoke as he put his hands on my shoulder.
" Don't touch me, pervert. You might be contagious." Pulling his hand back, he starched the back of his head. Going back to the president of the merchant association. We'll be able to hand in the evidence that would allow him to get an arrest warrant for a murder of a guard and his accomplice with the bandits.
' Though we didn't get to get any evidence on the others, I'm sure that he'll be fine."
Arriving in front of the President of the Merchant Association. Kakashi gave him the letter of Kazou and his order to kill a guard.
Kazou:" THIS IS A LIE, I DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL!!!!"
Me and Kakashi entered a bad time with investors and directors of the company. We were in a meeting. And Kazou started to throw a fit.
' Fucking man child, ah, now he's kicking his legs like a toddler not getting a toy.'
" This is embarrassing."
Kakashi:" mhm." Kakashi nodded along with me.
Kazou:" YOU TWO, IT HAS TO BE THESE TWO, THEY MUSTVE FRAME ME!!!!"
Ryuji:" The evidence is there with your signature. Fave the consequences like a man Kazou, with honor."
Kazou stopped throwing a fit, and the people in the room were about to be relieved with the room descending in silence. Kazou started to laugh like a maniac.
Kazou:" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! IF IM GOING DOWN, YOU'RE GOING DOWN WITH ME OLD MAN."
Kakashi:" Stay on guard Yuto, he might have something in his sleeves."
< Sir, multiple enemies on the map.>
' Shit where from.'
< From the top and bottom of the floor, you're standing on.>
' Great, so we're surrounded.'
Nodding at Kakashi, my sixth sense kicked in, but it wasn't just from Kazou. It also came below as well. And Kazou took out a bunch of paper bombs and injected his Chakra into them. Using bullet time, I threw some shurikens at Kazous' fingers cutting them into his neck right before he could activate them. I'm taking out a few more and aimed upwards where an explosion happened with bandits coming in from.
I killed a few dozen, and just as I was about to pull out more. A huge hand grabbed my foot and deactivated bullet time as I was pulled through the floor.
Kakashi:" Yuto!!" Kakashi tried to catch me but was slow enough.
" Groan, damn that hurts." I groaned as I got up.
Kakashi, seeing that I was fine, was about to come down, but it was bombarded by bandits coming in. Kakashi had to help Ryuji survive since he was our employer.
???:" Look, boys, a pretty brat."
' Where the fuck is child services when you need one.'
I looked up to the person that pulled me through the floor, it was the bulky guy with the large hammer. and multiple dozen of bandits as well.
' Shit can't pull a sword from thin air with workers and merchants around, especially merchants with their big mouths. I guess I have to do this the hard way.'
Revealing the hidden blade, I took a stance to kill every single bandit here.
" Breath of Massacre"
" Form Zero: Hidden Fury"
Random Bandit:" What you say pretty bo.."
Before he could finish the sentence, I plunged the blade into his throat with deadly speed, and with other bandits behind me that were golding their throats and hearts.
Hammer Guy:" Don't stand there kill the brat."
Random Bamdit:" Y.. yeah, get him."
Using form zero requires using fear that would stun the enemies into a fearful state, and delay attack to increase the damage, and bullet time to move at fast speed with extremely deadly precision. Killing multiple people at once.
