Wealth

Sui approached a pair of guards who noticed him and block his way, "What's your business here?" One of them asked.

He smiled in a carefree manner, "I am here to talk with your boss, Gato. I have a very attractive offer for him."

The guards hesitated for a moment, one of them asked him, "Bussiness?"

Sui nodded, "Of course, what else?" He asked with exasperation.

"Wait here." One of the guards went in and came a few minutes later, "He will see you now."

Sui simply nodded and entered, he followed the guard to a room. Inside Gato sat on a chair surrounded by guards. The room was very similar to an office, a mafia one.

Sui didn't seem to care, he carefreely strode forth and sat on the free chair, "Hey, how is it going?"

Gato frowned, "Speak." One of the guards stepped forth a little as he glared at him, trying to threaten Sui, he found their actions amusing.

Sui clapped his hands once, "Great! Let's get to business, first I will tell you what I want and then I will tell you what I am offering. Is that good? I promise you will love it."

Gato adjusted his glasses and nodded, "Go on." He had a sneer.

Sui didn't seem to notice, he began talking carefreely, "So let's see. Right! What I want is everything you have, all your wealth, your influence, connections, and… hmm… Not the guards but the employees… Also, that guy's eyes since he looked at me in a funny way."

The room turned deathly silent, Sui looked at them with a cheerful smile.

The guards all broke out in laughter, while the one who had glared at him before turned angry. Gato could hold himself back either, "Hahaha! Is this a joke?"

Sui's smile suddenly vanished, "No, of course not." He said seriously. The laughter stopped as if some hidden pressure had appeared in the room.

Noticing the change, Gato frowned, "What can you possibly give me for that? Ridiculous."

Sui chuckled, "I promise you it will be something great, I will give you your life! What is better than that?"

Everyone in the room was confused, Gate couldn't help but whisper, "My life?"

A moment later, Gato flew into a rage, "Kill him!" He ordered the men around him.

Before the guards could move to attack him, he said matter of factly, "You are already dead. (Omae wa mou Shindeiru)"

The men in the room didn't understand what he meant, but no matter when they did, their bodies were paralyzed, they couldn't move.

Looking at their faces that slowly morphed into one of terror, he felt no sympathy. He disliked these kinds of thugs very much, bullying poor people and taking advantage of them made him disgusted. Gate disgusted him the most but these thugs came after.

Only Gato managed to shout, "What?! (Nani?!)"

Sui stood up and gently tapped the head of one of the guards, the head slowly slid off and fell to the ground. Blood gushed out like a fountain and dyed the wall red. The cut was perfect, he had cut their heads at frightening speed to achieve this effect.

Sui sat back down while explaining with a cheerful smile, "You see, they are all dead already, they just don't know it. That's why they can see and hear us."

Gato almost pissed himself as he stood up and quickly backed off, "Please, don't kill me! I will give you whatever you want. Right! I accept your offer!"

He accidentally hit one of the guards, the body fell as its head was separated, it hit another guard's body. Like a domino, guards fell down one by one, greeting the floor of the room headlessly.

Gato looked at the scene that seemed to have come straight out of hell, he didn't wait. Sweat poured down his body like a fountain as he crawled to the corner of the room opening a small hidden door located there. Behind it was a lot of money and documents.

He shakingly looked at Sui, "Take it all! Please! Don't kill me…"

Sui doubted himself for a moment, 'I feel too calm, I don't even feel bad. Have I become a monster? I guess the calm mind effect of the system is pretty strong…'

He didn't dilly dally though, Sui took everything and put it in a bag he had brought with him since he didn't have any storage scroll yet.

He took a deep look at Gato as he said with a bright smile, "Pleasure doing business with you. You have your life, what happens to it from now on has nothing to do with me."

Gato sighed in relief when he saw Sui walking out of the door, 'Fool! I will take my revenge soon enough, I will hire a hundred shinobi to hunt you down, thankfully I have a safe located in a city with enough money to start over…' Just as his thoughts had reached this point, a loud voice shook the building and spread far and wide.

"Gato's men have all died by the hands of our hero, the Namikage! He is all alone now! If you wish to seek revenge, now is your time! All hail the Namikage!!" The voice echoed for a while, it was obviously Sui's voice.

How could he let villains like Gato live and invite endless trouble for himself… Now that he had the money, had killed the scum, the head honcho needed to die but since he had given his word, he didn't want to break it for someone like Gato.

So he naturally decided to use a borrowed knife to kill him and at the same time gather some popularity for the future. Enhancing his voice with chakra made it reach most places nearby, many people heard it.

He left immediately after and observed from afar.

Gato had only one word in his mind, 'Fuck!'

It didn't take more than a minute for people to gather and then storm the building, Gato died inside, torn to pieces by the people. He had ruined many of their lives with his actions.

The outcome satisfied Sui, he looked at some documents from the bag, 'It will take some time to absorb this much wealth…' He began his 3-day marathon, running around constantly to absorb all the wealth and not miss out on a single Ryo (Currency of this world) even if it was on the other side of the world.

In Konoha, a secret meeting was taking place. The ones present were the Hokage, Shikaku Nara, Hiashi Hyuga, and some of the most trusted and loyal shinobi under the Hokage. The room was dark, it looked a lot like a room perfect for conspiracy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a dark look. Shikaku Nara said, "Lord Hokage, why did you let Danzo succed? It would have been quite simple to stop him…"

Hiruzen puffed out some smoke out of his mouth, "Shikaku, I had my suspicions regarding Danzo since the Uchiha massacre. The recent developments have made it clear to me that Root is still alive and stronger than ever. The investigation also supports this fact. The incident was also related to Root. At this stage, I have to personally take action."

Shikaku was perplexed, "But why let him take control of village security? I don't understand…"

The Hokage's eyes had a strange glint, "Sometimes, you have to take a step back in order to lure the prey and attack."

The people in the room realized that the Hokage was scheming a big plan.

Hokage turned towards Hiashi Hyuga, "I need your clan to secretly search for Root headquarters with your Byakugan. Coordinate with Shikaku."

Hiashi nodded.

The look in the Hokage's eyes was filled with determination, he could no longer tolerate Danzo.
