บท 22: Finding Fortune
"'Did I fail him. The darkness in his heart hasn't even faded one bit. Only if I noticed it earlier. Even then could I have prevented this? He and Sasuke are about the same age. Yet the difference is abundant. Why did it have to be this way? I will have a long talk with him after this mission" thought Itachi as he was watching Naruto with eyes of guilt and sadness.
" There are too many eyes on here. I will check on the sword later. The modified storage seal is working great as well. Usually one couldn't store living things in it. After working on it a bit I managed to remove the weakness. This Gato scum will bring me tons of fortune as well." thinks naruto while he sealed away the sword
While Kakashi was recovering everyone got to work. Itachi and Memna took care of the bodies. Narumi and Mito helped the locals building the bridge with shadow clones. Seeing everyone's genuine enthusiasm Naruto also lent some of his clones to help. Sakura being useless as always did nothing.
"So what should we do about him? Itachi"asked Kakashi with a bit of tiredness in his voice "Honestly, it's very out of his character to do such a thing. After laying low for all those years why the sudden outburst. Maybe stress or some other factors. Also, have you noticed it too Kakashi senpai" replies Itachi in a low voice " do you think it's related to the sword." asked Kakashi. " Although there might be some other causes the sword is very likely the reason. Ever since he came in contact with it he has been behaving strangely." says Itachi as he was writing something in his diary "Then why did it felt so natural? As if that's how he has always been. I mean he could have fooled my senses. But can he possibly fool you?" said Kakashi in a solemn expression "You should think twice before you say that. As I can assure you that's very much not the case. Well, he might have fooled all of us. Honestly, he is an enigma. One moment he is like this other moment he is like that. I honestly didn't sign up for this. This kind of work is above my payment. Well, have been observing him since his childhood. So what we saw today can also be one of his facades" Replied Itachi as he closes his diary "Maybe it's related to his trauma. We should have given him counseling from the Yamanaka since the very first day."Said Kakashi as he was wondering about the diary
" Now what do I do with you?" thinks Naruto as he pulls out an unconscious Haku and almost dead gato from two sealing scrolls." The modified healing scroll did its trick. However, it isn't that efficient. Needs too much chakra and the output is low as well. I need more data for this. Although the experiment was successful I can't bring him to the village. Maybe I could use him as a spy to some other village. Well until you wake up there's not much I can do. The memory seal did its work. But the slave seal is still incomplete. I have to use a different approach."
" Wake up before I slit your throat and feed you do dogs. Oi wakes up you piece of shit" yells Naruto as he kicks Gato repeatedly. As he wakes up he pleaded in a low terrifying voice"Please just let me go. I will give you money, Woman, Rich, and fame whatever you want. I don't want to die. Please send me to a hospital. I promise I will give you anything."
" So you woke up huh. Well, rest assured as you won't die. At least not for now. The modified seal I put on you will keep you alive for exactly 30 minutes. You are in no position of any sort of negotiations. I can force read all your memories but that will leave you a mentally retard for the rest of your life. Which I don't care. But I don't want to sour my mood watching all that shit you are keeping on that skull of yours. So better speak up and if you leave a single piece of information hidden your legs and hands will blow up and my seal will close up your wounds. Which will leave you in a state worse than death. I checked your total assets. And there's no way you could make so much with only drugs and selling organs. As for your port business that's also out of question. So I am very curious you see. So you lie once you will never get to see anyone again" Says Naruto with a creepy smile that can shake even the soul of the most strong-willed individual.
Gato was already half-dead. And the threats from naruto shook his soul to the core. As it seemed that the devil has come to reap for all the sins he did with his life. So he naturally spilled everything about the source of his income. " Wait I will tell you everything. All the business I do on documents is a facade to hide my actual business. 25 years ago when I arrived at this place I was a simple shop owner. For 12 years I worked hard and build up a decent food business. As the Uzumaki's were the guardians of this land nobody dared to mess with us. But as you know in the second shinobi war they were wiped out by Kiri Kuma and Iwa. Their allies Konoha betrayed them. After that, all the rough nins started to loot us in broad daylight. Later on, Konoha did step up but it was too late. All my fortune business was wiped clean. I asked for help from everywhere but no one helped out. Even then I tried to start another business but never got any profit. My dept kept pilling up. One by one people started to leave my company. Even though I gave them so much they dared to leave me in such a state.Once an aspiring businessman was left on deaths road with no food money and comrades. Left with no choice I headed towards the ruins of the Uzumaki's as I hoped that I could get some artifacts or treasure to solve my mess. I wandered for days and nights here and there. Sometimes I ran into rough nins and sometimes onto chakra beasts. But no matter what happened I eventually learned to survive. I mastered the arts of lies trickery and deception. And I eventually found my way out. What I found If got caught I will straight up become a mortal enemy of this country. I found the second largest chakra ore mine in the abandoned ruins of the Uzumaki's. It was sealed nice but people with no chakra can bypass the place easily. I worked for the next 5 years building up my empire. Little by little I was close to becoming the most influential person in this country. I used the shipping port to sell chakra ores to different lands and villages. The bridge was a threat to all of my life's hard work. I can't allow them to do this. Even If I have to kill every person of this place"
"No wonder he is so filthy rich. Just a normal katana worth chakra ore is enough to buy out a normal ninja village. This fucker was monopolizing an entire deposit worth of it. Well, the seal recorded all his memories as he can live only around 30 minutes maximum. Now finding all of the fortunes will be a piece of cake. Also, It seems I have to visit Uzusugakure earlier than expected."
"Urge...What happened. Why does my body hurt so much? Where am I? What happened to me? Why can't I remember anything? Why am I in so much pain?" think Haku and he was staring at his surroundings with lifeless eyes.
It seems you are awake. Haku gets surprised at the arrival of the sudden stranger. "Who are you? What do you want? Release me at this instance." Ho, it seems you can't recognize your own master.
" Master?"
" Yes, I am your one and only master. My dear Haku. You and I need to have a long talk my slave." smiles Naruto at this success of his memory and slave seals.
