Chương 53: Chapter 53
I continued to watch the fight below to see if they would talk about their true reason for being here like some third-rate villain. I could see occasional sparks from my target which gave me a general idea of the reason he was listed as an S-rank. Because my cloak was similar, I could tell there was a chance he stole the Raikage's lightning cloak jutsu. But from what I can see, this dumbass probably had no idea on how it worked even with the jutsu available to him or he was just doing it wrong. Or he could have stolen a fake.
After about five minutes, none of them spoke and just continued to fight, and it looked like my target was on the losing side and was preparing to retreat.
They were a distance apart and were speeding towards each other in what looked like a final attack. Just as they were about to clash, I appeared right in the middle. "Surprise Motherfucker!" These two were great. Although they were surprised, they immediately reacted and jumped back.
The two men stared at me warily. I appeared before my target and quickly decapitated him. The same wary look locked on his face. I wrapped the head up and put both it and the body in a storage scroll before turning to look at the stunned Anbu agent.
"Oh? I'm surprised you are still here. You did not even try to run?" I turned back to look at the Anbu agent who no longer had his guard up. He just stood there, waiting for me to finish what I was doing. I wanted to do a batman voice in place of the cool shaky hollow voice they had but I decided against it. There was absolutely no need, plus I was feeling embarrassed so I just stuck to my original voice.
He shook his head and spoke, "There was no need. I have served under our Raikage long enough to know even if I run, I won't get far."
"Oh, you served under the Raikage? Who are you? Darui? Cee? Omoi? You can't be Karui under there, right? If so then your voice is too mascular." That actually made him chuckle.
"None of them actually. I am just a simple man trying to right by my family and village." He solemnly spoke.
"Aren't we all." I responded.
"You seem to know our people quite well. Yet, you sound so young." I guess since he knew he was about to die, he just decided to have a conversation of sorts. He was quite calm. A man that had resolved himself for death.
"Well, of course. I know a lot of things I'm not supposed to. It's my job after all." I stated to which he nodded. "As for the voice, I do, don't I? Maybe I should have done the batman voice after all." He tilted his head to the side confused about who this Batman was.
I cleared my throat and did my best Ben Affleck, "I'm Batman". He actually broke into a roaring laughter. I think the bastard thought I sounded cute or adorable.
Laughing after him, I began to hysterically laugh, sounding like Pennywise the Dancing Clown. I did not know if the hollow mask and the voice would match, but apparently it did. The man stopped laughing and broke into a frown, especially with the dull eerie yellow eyes glowing back at him.
I tilted my head slightly and spoke, maintaining the same voice, "I think we found my voice." His body trembled slightly, especially when I began to slowly walk towards him. The man that had resolved himself for death began to waver in his resolve. Why? I had no idea, but I was glad it worked.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the collector of souls. I am death. I am the Hollow." This time, it was in the shaky, dark and gloomy voice. I was standing right in his face, the glowing dull yellow eyes staring right into his soul. My tanto moved with a blindingly fast slash and off came his left arm. He knelt on the ground, clutching his stump, sweating profusely. "Consider that thanks for helping us find the voice. Next time I take your head."
I left him still clutching his stump on his knee. As for the body, I did not bother searching it. As for whether or not he actually stole the jutsu or not, whether or not it was something else, I did not really care. I preferred my lightning cloak instead, and so far, no one had been able to force me to my lightning cloak. What more, I was still growing. That meant I was only going to get faster from here on out.
I left for Konoha at my quickest speed. I was tired, sleepy and just wanted to soak myself in a refreshing bath. I had not had any in three or four days. In less than half the time I arrived the first day, I was already in Konoha. I my way towards the Hokage office and headed straight for the window.
As always, the old man sat at his desk, staring with listless eyes at the stacks of reports on his desk. He was mumbling something about surviving in wars but reports would be what would kill him instead. He almost looked pitiful.
"Yo, jiji." He became startled once again, nearly falling off his chair.
"Brat! How many times have I told you to use the door?" He was huffing and glaring at me.
"Just once." I answered him which made him roll his eyes at me. I pulled out the scroll which contained the head and tossed it to him.
"So, when do I get my money?" He took out the head and examined it. He looked quite pleased. Nodding his head and smiling at who knew what.
"This is indeed Haruki. Well done Sakura. The head will be given to the Intelligence Division to see what they can gather of it. After, it would be processed and the bounty will be passed over to you; After we have taken our ten per cent commission, that is."
"Oi Jiji. 10%? That is just daylight robbery. I have to admit, for an s-rank criminal, his bounty was so low. I guess I can't complain too much. Just earned 4.5million ryo just like that. So easy! Hahaha" My words made the faces of Hiruzen and his hiding Anbu agents twitch.
"Come tomorrow afternoon. I'm sure by then we would be done processing and you will receive your money." He gave me a paper to show for the next day in order to retrieve my money. Just as I was about to walk out, he called to me once more and asked, "I heard you got into a little altercation with Uchiha Sasuke from your class. Is everything alright?" He stared at me.
I turned to him and answered, "Well, it was for a friend I had lost for a long time. Ino."
"The Yamanaka girl?" He asked and I nodded.
"She likes Sasuke, you see, and because of that we were no longer friends. I don't think Sasuke would be good for her. I just wanted my friend back so I became a little petty and messed with him a little bit." I stuck out my tongue in a rebellious manner which made the old man chuckle.
"This was like girl gossip. It was fun, jiji. Let's do it again sometime." He almost stumbled as I disappeared with flicker from the room.
