Well, I have no intention of letting myself be targeted by all of Konoha... It would only add unnecessary pressure since I'll end up getting hunted by the Akatsuki anyway.

That said, it's not like I have no use of a pair of Sharingan. There's some experiments that I'd like to try out.

Of course, it won't involve any transplanting.

"The next month or so is going to be real tough..."

——————————

Three weeks later, through disguise, extortion and interrogation, I finally got my first piece of valuable information.

Not too far away from Konoha, there was a man that dealt with the shadier parts of business.

Illegal weaponry, drugs, jutsu... And most importantly, organs.

He was somewhat similar to Gato, and was known on the surface as one of the wealthiest Businessmen in the world.

He went by the name 'Maigo' which was Japanese for 'stray kid'.

His sphere of influence encapsulated most of the land of fire, but also reached into the land of wind.

With that in mind, there might be a chance that my father knows him or has dealt with him before. That's why I sent a message to to Rasa, trying to see if he could get me in contact with the man.

Looking up, I watched as a messenger-hawk from Sunagakure came flying to my balcony. Raising my hand, I let it land on my forearm.

Retrieving the scroll from it's backpack, I gave the bird some seeds before opening it and checking it's context.

Inside, Rasa confirmed my thoughts. He indeed was an acquaintance of Maigo, and could arrange for a meeting between the two of us. In fact, their relationship was good, since he sold things at cheaper rates, although most were illegal.

As luck may have it, Maigo was currently in Konoha, for the Chūnin exams.

Sighing, I memorized the map and coordinates that came in the scroll before burning it. After taking out a scroll of my own, I wrote my thanks and sent the hawk back.

"Ok, time to go."

Changing my face into a different, random one, I headed out of the apartment, and to a specific hotel in the outskirts of the village.

It was a very high-class hotel, with wealthy-looking people walking around the place.

Heading to the counter, I slipped a piece of paper to the hostess, who immediately recognized it and called for someone.

After a while, what looked like a butler came looking for me. Following him, we made our way to one of the uppermost rooms of the hotel.

Once there, the butler opened the door and bowed, signaling for me to go inside.

Once he locked the door back up, I removed my mask, showing my true face.

"You must be Rasa's son! I've been dying to meet you for a long time!"

Inside the room, a middle-aged man wearing a suit was sitting on a chair, drinking what looked like Sake.

Behind him were two ninja, which I could only assume were his bodyguards.

One was bald, with one of his eyes covered in bandages. The other one was tattooed all over his body and carried an enormous Katana.

Gauging their power levels, I came to the conclusion that they were most-likely High Chunin-level. I'd have to be careful.

"Come, come. Please take a seat and get comfortable. Anything you want to eat or drink?"

"No thank you, Maigo-san."

"Stupid Brat! It's Maigo-Sama for you!"

The bald bodyguard shouted furiously but was stopped by Maigo.

"He can call me whatever he wants. Rasa's my close friend, so his son is too, understood?"

Hearing this, the ninja clicked his tongue and stepped back, clearly unsatisfied.

Suddenly, a bunch of dark sand covered covered his neck, strangling him and lifting him up in the air. Not being able to react in time, he struggled, trying to get out.

"I-I can't breathe!"

"Yukimura! You! Stop what you're doing immediately!"

The guy with a Katana looked at me with a fierce expression on his face. Looking at him, I unleashed Shukaku's chakra, making him tremble in fear.

"Maigo-san... This man has really angered me. Do you mind if I kill him?"

Hearing my words, Maigo smirked, resting his arm on the table.

"Of course, he's disposable anyway. Go ahead."

"Mai-go... Sama... Why..."

Slowly, I covered him with more and more Iron sand, making it enter through every single orifice in his body. I watched as he suffocated, and then clenched my fist.

The man exploded from inside, spraying the entire room with blood. Of course, I covered my body and Maigo's resulting in us not getting splashed.

The other bodyguard wasn't as lucky. His whole body was now tinted red, as he incredulously looked at his comrade's remains.

Looking at him, I let my anger take over my expression.

"Do you want to go next?"

"N.. No! Please spare me!"

He then went into a sincere dogeza, clearly on the verge of tears.

"Ah, yo made a mess. I'll have to call up the cleaning lady."

"No need."

Ignoring Maigo's look of surprise, I used my sand to absorb all of the blood in the room, leaving it just as it was before.

"Now, shall we get to business? There's something I'd like to buy off you, if you have it or know how to get it."

"Heh... I like you, kid. Tell me what it is that you need. I'll even give you a discount."

Smiling, I got straight to thee point.

"I hear that there was a clan massacre a few years ago... Involving the Uchiha."

"Yes, what about it?"

"Well, I'm pretty sure no one would be stupid enough to bury them without... Taking their eyes. You know what's I mean?"

Hearing this, Maigo's expression changed.

"Kid, you're talking about something pretty serious here. What do you need those eyes for?"

"Thats' a secret. Now tell me, do you know how I could get my hands on them?"

Migo's face turned serious. He looked down and massaged his head off a while, before answering.

"I do know how to get them, but it's not easy. It may even be life-threatening... Even so, do you wish to know?"

"Yes."

Sighing, Maigo finally got to the point.

"This is a secret, but I'll tell you because of who you are, and my opinion of you. I don't think that you'd be the kind to leak this sort of information."

"I have a friend, a very wealthy individual. Even by my standards, this woman is monstrously rich."

"Her name is Manami, and she's a collector of the weirdest things. Turns out, she has one of the only pairs of Sharingan that have been leaked to the market. It's been a secret forever, with only a select few people knowing about it."

"Back to the point. She's in love with these eyes, and carries them around everywhere she goes. One is inside her watch, and the other one I don't know."

"So, I'd have to somehow get them off her... right?"

"Yes. That's why I said that it was potentially life-threatening. Being that rich, she's constantly surrounded by Cgunin and Jonin. Getting the eyes won't prove to be an easy feat."

"..."

"Is there anything also you would like to know about?"

"Yes... do you know about Orochimaru?"

"One of the great Sannin, why wouldn't I?"

"Well, through my sources, i found out that he started experimenting with the cells from the first Hokage... Do you know anything about this?"

"The first Hokage? I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Well forget about it. Just give me the strongest Earth-Style ninjutsu you have. I'll pay for it myself. I'm sure that you have some leaked ones from Iwagakure?"
