Chapter 189 - 189. Wave Village. (2/2)
With the sparring sessions going and the city under watch the bridge building continued on. I spent some time in the woods gathering herbs that weren't available in my area. I keep a small stock in the inventory for when I go back to the main body for the kingdom.
During one of my nice forest runs I ran into Haku. ”Hello hunter ninja how's zabuza doing he still pissed about losing his sword? He really should learn how to hold his weapon properly to avoid slips like that.” I asked her. Yes Haku is a girl apparently she hides it as to avoid some nasty situations arising.
She instantly goes on guard pulling out some senbon. ”how did you recognize me?” she asks with worry in her voice.
”The way you move. If your trying to look like a regular girl your too cautious and stealthy. Not to mention your body reacted instantly when you saw me and went defensive for a second.” I tell her while I'm still picking herbs.
”You can lower your weapons I honestly have zero interest in killing you or zabuza if I did you'd already be dead.” a bunch of my clones come out from the trees and drop some herbs in a basket near me.
She looks around in shock not knowing how I snuck up on her. Man I've been running pranks on anbu for years for extra snack money. You think a 14 year old girls gunna be able to detect me?
She puts up her weapons with a resigned expression. ”So what are you planning if you don't want to kill us?” she asks.
”I am interested in hiring you both. I can offer you both a place to live and jobs in the village of konoha.” I explain.
”Not to mention you know that Gato person your working for right now? He actually plans to kill you both off soon after your dine fighting us so he doesn't have to pay you.” I chuckle at her.
”How can you promise us a place to live and how do you know he plans to betray us?” she asks worried that I'm telling the truth.
”Well you could say the hokage owes me a big favor and if not I can unleash a very potent threat and make his life pretty miserable. As for the second what kind of dumbass mercenary are you guys to not even get paid first? Seriously though you take half the pay first at least but you guys didn't even do that.”
I had some of my clones trail Gatos mercs for information and to locate his base. I then hid some clones in and around the area. Gato is quite rich and I plan to take a lot of his stuff in the scramble. I mean I'm going above and beyond for my mission got to get paid for it eh.
