Chapter-36: Kiri Conquest! (part-I)

After sneaking in Kirigakure, I started talking to several civilian people that were there. It was hard to do but I managed to pull off by some nudging and talking about the outside world.

The situation in Kirigakure was not looking good according to everything.

Mei and The Mizukage were fighting each other nearly constantly and the two factions were also not peaceful.

They were basically glorified bandits at this point.

Well, this is indeed good for me.

After some more tracking around, I finally found one of the council members' house.

This council was responsible for collecting funds and getting weapons for the state. Basically the ones that deal with the current Mizukage's sh*t and provide him with weapons.

If they don't do that, they are 'replaced'.

At least, that's what I could gather from the information I had going on with me.

I sneaked inside and quickly knocked out the council member.

After that, I created a shadow clone and asked him to quickly carve the slave seal on him while I dealt with the ninja guards near him.

My chakra and aura suppression were extremely effective so they didn't find me but the council member made some noise, so I could only deal with the consequences.

I paralyzed them by sticking a few senbon inside their necks and carved a slave seal on them as well.

It was quite easy to do as they couldn't detect me.

If they could react, then it would've been an another story. I might've been under a lot of danger.

After the seal was made and done, I started talking to the council member, peacefully.

"So how are you, council member-kun? Are you alright?" I asked with a smile.

"WHO A-" He tried to say loudly but I quickly cut him off.

"Talk a bit more respectfully, sir. You called me here for a weapon's deal." I said as I punched him in the stomach and quickly silenced him.

I didn't want to gather any sort of attention before everything is set in stone.

"Now, let's begin talking. You will shut up about me totally and arrange a meeting with current Mizukage and me. You will say I am a weapon seller, looking to supply. Here is the list of the weapons I have. Go to him, right now. Don't come back tilll you've arranged the meeting or I will be making sure you suffer for an eternity." I said as I released a bit of Kyuubi's killing intent.

The list of weapons I gave him was a fake one that only had half the supplies I had with me.

He was extremely scared now, whimpering around like a mad dog but quickly composed himself.

Looks like Mizukage is a little threatening, ain't he?

I untied him and he quickly went away.

I created another shadow clone and ordered it to follow him, while using the suppressing skill.

(Council member POV)

My name is Kirimaru, no surname.

I was born in Kirigakure as a civilian and even worse, an orphan.

I was surrounded by these freaks of nature called ninjas....That could bend the rules of everything with chakra.

After my results of underdeveloped chakra coils came in, I was immediately kicked out of orphanage and was left on the streets.

It was lonely.

It was harsh.

All this misery enraged me. I was jealous...of everything.

Why do those children get to eat food while I starve for days? Why do they get to sleep on comfortable beds while I sleep in this wet mud.

I had no way to surpass ninjas with power but I could at least beat them in intelligence.

So...I worked hard while staying in Kiri because if I get out of the village, the ninja will kill me because I may release some information.

Endless days and nights of toiling hard to get educated.

I got my first job when I was 5 years old.

I killed 3 other people who were looking for the job as well.

Slowly...I started getting into business by winning the trust of the retired ninja grandma and killing her in her sleep so I could take on her assets.

With a lot of deception as well as hard work, I finally reached to the top.

The position of council members that work for Mizukage, the top dog of the village.

I was over the heaven, when I got this news.

I had my own ninja bodyguards now. I could work under him and order around anyone, as long as I didn't offend Mizukage somehow, I was fine.

I even killed that ninja kid that teased me for being a civilian. He was just a chunnin and I had command of a few tokubetsu jonins under me.

I was living in my dreams. I made those very ninjas crawl on my foot so that I can allow them to live.

I still feel that amazing feeling, tingling my hearts so much.

But today...

That reality...became an illusion...

I was once again brought to my knees....by that black haired stranger....

This brought the true reality to my eyes...

I was still a civilian...

but now, I simply gave up...

I was now under an enemy's control.

I cannot even move in a different direction out of my own will.

I entered into Mizukage-sama office.

While he was extremely strict, he gave me and other council members some leverage as we were important.

I cannot describe how much I wanted to tell him that I am under someone's control but I couldn't...

All that came out of my mouth was my usual flowery words I use to deceive everyone.

"Mizukage-sama! I have found a weapon dealer, a quite big one at that who is willing to sell us a lot of weapons and of high quality! I've verified him according to my sources as well, so he is a trustable figure." I said.

I couldn't even control my body language to indicate something suspicious was going on.

"Is that so? And where is this dealer you talk about? Why didn't you bring him here?" He said in a strict tone as he glared at me while wearing his reading glasses.

It immediately sent a chill down my spine. I still remember the day he killed a council member for acting to disrespectful in front of him.

"N-No Mizukage-sama! He is at my house, temporarily staying there! I will call him right away if you want me to! I just wanted to show you the list of items he has in stock for us." I said as I passed him the scroll that boy gave me.

He checked the scroll and his eyes widened a bit, showing some shock and suspicion but he quickly returned to his stoic face.

"Call him now. I will be directly discussing the terms with him." He said as he sat down on his chair again and started reading a document.

"Yes sir!" I said as I ran towards my home again.

(Yagura POV)

This is extremely suspicious.

A trader comes into existence out of nowhere, when we need it the most?

This must be some sort of scheme from other villages.

"KIRI." I said and immediately a few ninjas came towards me.

These were the ninjas that supported the Mizukage from the shadows.

(A/N: Kirigakure's version of ANBU.)

"Verify this man's profile and keep a watch on him for now. Kill him if you spot anything that may prove him to be another village's spy. Otherwise, treat him as a honorable guest. He is quite important for the village." I said as I signaled them to go out.

They immediately left without a sound.
