Gold mine

Shin and his two subordinates, Zabuza and Haku, were sitting in a restaurant, eating away.

" This fish is fantastic. "

Shin exclaimed, as Haku smilingly looked at Shin's transformed face, somehow this man Shin transformed into, had a presence very suitable for eating mountains of food.

' Bizzare.. But Shin san is really gentle.. '

Thought Haku as she saw Shin quickly but lightly keeping the food containers back on table.

Not many paid attention to such minute details, but Yuki Haku was someone who did, as she was very impressed.

" Are you done inhaling food? You eat like an Uzumaki. "

Zabuza grumbled, Shin didn't care, he was about to ' die ' anyway, why not put everything on a dead person's tab, nobody has to pay but the rebels, aka Mei.

" I.. am.. almost.. done..! "

* Tap *

As the last tapping of bowl was heard, the restaurant owner, a rebel commander couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief.

' What a monster. '

Thought the man, as he looked at the piles of plates and bowls before the man, who didn't even have a bulging tummy.

" Phew, you guys have nothing here, but good food is in abundance, being an island dweller with so much salt and fresh water around, you people are sitting on a gold mine. "

Shin sighed, if developed correctly, country of fire's economic potential would be nothing to country of water.

Anyone who knows about the value of ocean from Shin's previous life would understand how big of a gold mine these guy's are sitting on.

And that was only the ocean, not to mention the fresh water sources, fertile land and natural barriers surrounding the village.

" This is a fortress, a full blown natural treasure. "

Zabuza looked confused, he was a Ninja, an assassin for hire, economics was not a thing he was well versed in.

Shin didn't care, he shook his head as he told Zabuza.

" Think about it, you guys were a closed country how long? And yet with all the bloodshed and death, you guys still have enough supplies to keep on moving forward. "

Laughingly Shin mocked.

" Konoha is shit, what first village, location or natural resources, Kiri is top in every sense, of course that's if you people don't continue to squander the potential. "

Zabuza had stopped listening a while ago, whatever, he knew how to make strong Ninja's, he will concentrate on that, Shin can handle the rest.

But Yuki Haku was very interested in whatever Shin was saying, she understood it or not, she kept on looking at him with a happy smile.

Which Shinnosuke noticed was very similar to the smile Hinata gave him when she thought he wasn't looking.

Their innate nature was similar in many ways, he will have Haku meet Hinata someday, they will have a lot common ground.

" Alright, here is the plan, we three go, ram the office directly. "

Zabuza shook his sword.

" Directly? You are a madman, even I used my anbu authority to get near the Mizukage. "

But when you surrender to someone, you don't doubt their decisions all the time, this was Ninja 101.

So Zabuza didn't mean to stop Shin, big deal, they die together.

" What's the exact plan? "

Shin nodded as he spoke seriously, they were saying whatever they wanted because not only was this a rebel only restaurant, but because Shin had set up a silencing barrier.

" What we do is, I go in first, I'll charge in like a tank and ram through everything. "

Haku looked at Shin with a worried look, and Shin out of his habit developed with Hinata, held Yuki Haku's hand and smiled reassuringly.

" Don't worry, beneath my exterior, I am full metal adamantine body, think of me as having a puppet armor on. "

Shin explained ashura paths powers in a very simplistic fashion, then looking at Haku's wide smile and Zabuza's raised eyebrows, he realised they were still holding hands.

Letting go with a smile, Shin didn't bother being embarrassed, please, he wasn't so thin skinned, neither were Haku and Zabuza.

But the misunderstanding just created, that was something he can't ignore.

' Whatever, she's thrilled, can't exactly rain on her parade. '

Yuki Haku and Shin had built up a friendship, they were watching Zabuza in genjutsu for a long time, true to Shin's prediction, she had given up first.

With a promise to let go of Zabuza, Shin and Haku had spent a long time together, watching Zabuza, even Haku's moments with her mother were seen by Shin.

She was born with Yuki clan's genetics, they were a clan of handsome men and beautiful women, just like the Uchiha clan.

Well, generally speaking, people like Fugaku were an exception.

" And Haku or should I say Ms. Hakuna, do you have something to add to this? "

Hakuna, that was what she was named by her mother at birth, changed to Haku later due to her dire circumstances.

Yuki Hakuna pleasantly laughed.

" No, I have nothing to add to this, and Shin kun, I have given up my name long ago.. it's okay for you to call me Haku. "

Shin smiled as he broke her facade.

" No, you were in my genjutsu too, do you think I don't know how much your orginal name matters to you? Your mother's only connection with you? Don't worry about what Zabuza will think, he'll understand. "

Shin looked at Zabuza with a raised eyebrow, Zabuza just grunted and looked the other way.

Haku smiled softly as she found Zabuza agreeing the only way he can, happily she bowed to Shin first, then to Zabuza.

If she can freely live under the sun with Shin kun and Zabuza sama, she will be the happiest she has ever been.
