Vū and Akiro followed Nora through the crowd. Their body were squished by the people around them. The unpleasant scent of ciggaes and perfumes coated their clothes, coins were being thrown above them, sometimes hitting them straight in the eye.

Alcohol were being splashed and spilled everywhere from here to there. Salivas were unintentionally spat on their faces. The loud screams coming from both mean and women nearly busted their eardrums

Loud moans from sexual pleasure.

Curses after curses were being thrown everywhere.

Their toes felt absolutely hell from being stepped on.

'I'm never coming back here,'

'I can't say that I'm not suprise,'

'Oh fuck this,'

The trio infiltrated the 'EMPLOYEES ONLY' room.

Fortunately, the said employees were too busy fucking each other to notice the trios presence, hence it made their job a lot easier than they thought.

Akiro took care of the people and followed behind them.

"Told you he was one step ahead of us,"

Tobias, who was crouching on the ground holding a lock and a metal sticks with different designs, let go of the things he is holding and held out his hands in surrender.

"I got the information we needed and figured that—"

"Enough." Nora said, "We don't have time, get in already and we'll follow you."

[Wuss.]

'Fuck off!'

Tobias climbed down the ladder and Nora, Akiro and Vū followed after him.

"Guys!" Called out Tobias, "We got company!"

.

Akiro and Nora grabbed a kunai from their holster and positioned theirselves in a battle stance.

Vū unsheathe his chōkuto and faces it towards their soon-to-be enemies in a one-hundred twenty degree angle.

Tobias move his right foot to the front with his toes and knee in line with each other. His toes, torso and waist facing forwards. His foot not too much extended nor his body is too low.

His left hand held an inch distance from his right upper arm, while his right held out the table leg in a ninety degree angle.

"What's up with that stance of yours," Nora questioned slash whisper.

"How did you—"

"Why don't we cut to the chase and beat the hell out of each other to determine whose gonna win?" Akiro suggested with a smile, "Eyy? What do you day?"

"This arrogant brat!"

"—looking down on us!"

"Okay, I see your point now," Said Tobias, "I agree with you!"

Vū sigh, and dashed towards one of the people. Both of their weapons clashed against each other with a metallic sound accompying their battle.

"Owh—" exclaimed Akiro, pushing back against the man who made the first move on him. "Imma take this guy,"

Akiro aimed two shurikens at the man who easily blocked it with ease.

"Don't die," was her last words to Tobias before Nora joined the battle.

'Hey System, what are the chances I might die tonight?'

[And you ask me why you're dramatic?]

'Fuck you,'

Tobias ignored the message sent to him by the System, knowing full well that it was just going to curse back at him.

He rushed towards the unoccupied shinobi and swung the table leg, hard and fast, aiming it towards his right temple.

'Right Temple Strike,'

Unfortunately, his attack was blocked from the Shinobi who use his lower arm to defend his temple.

Although, judging from the way the Shinobi had hissed just now, Tobias concluded that the man had look down on him for being a kid, hence the man didn't bother to use his chakra as an extra precaution.

'Seriously? The world is about to be in a war and these people still hasn't learn anything?' He thought before retracting his arm, he used the moment where he had fall on the ground and leaped again, rotating his body and swung his arm and successfully hit the man's left temple.

'Left Temple Strike,'

As he landed on the ground, the Shinobi regained his posture and started to fight, seriously.

Tobias swung the table leg downward from his ear and blocked a fist strike coming from the man.

'Had I not have any memories from my past lif—'

[Focus on the fucing battle in front of your eyes! Don't follow onto those Shinobi's footsteps who talks on their own to make them feel intelligent.]

'I can't tell whether you're—'

[JUST FOCUS ON THE GODDAMNED BATTLE! YOU LITTLE SHIT-ASS MOTH—]

He ducked, side-stepped and blocked an attack from the enemy— all the while trying to ignore the intense words comin from the System's message.

"Is this even your first real battle?"

Asked Vū as he reluctantly took the job of tying up the people that tried to overwhelmed them.

"That's 'cause I'm a genius," was all he said with his head held high.

"Please, those guys are simply like those mountain bandits," added Nora, "Anyone could've easily beat those guys."

"With experience that is..." Vū uttered.

"Okay, I've gathered enough information about the people who run this thing,"

"With that fearsome information gathering talent of yours," Akiro snorted, the edge of his lips lift up— reminiscing a smirk but was not a smirk, "Old War Hawk will no doubt go coo~ coo~," he sing-sang'd, twirling his index finger on his temple, "and suspect you of betraying his beloved Konoha, someday. And no doubt that your head will be the number one prize for him to be at ease for about... hmmm... eighty percent?"

"You're overly exaggerating," commented Nora, Turing her head towards Tobias' direction, "Tell us what you got."

"The people running this thing, and who are currently inside of that room," he pointed towards the end of the hallway, "turns out to be just working under the orders of their boss— though, unfortunately, I didn't got the information of who their boss is. Didn't learn any Ninjutsu's and et cetera that is related to any self-defense and instead hire Shinobi's or like those low-wanted criminals."

"Yeah," Vū grunted, "I wasn't sure at first but turns out that these guys that we've just beaten up have been wanted for murdering their client and had the audacity to return back here."

"Whoa!" Akiro had a surprised look on his face, "And the Hokage or any of those Elders didn't do anything?!"

Vū was silent for a moment and just nodded, "I think you just answered your own question, Akiro-san."

Nora's eyebrows scrunched, "So when did they murder their client?"

"About three and a half years ago." Tobias bluntly replied.

"Oh my god!" Akiro exclaimed serenely, "Those old shits weren't going to bother cleaning up this mess!"

"If I have to guess the reason why the War Hawk had the suddenly had an interest in this place after all the years of neglect then It—"

Akiro interrupted her monologue, his arm enthusiastically raised in the air, "Oh, oh, oh! I know! I know! Maybe the old fossils has grown bored sitting in the dark so he's desperate for a wank?"

"Hahahahaha! Good one, there!"

Laughed Tobias, while Vū supressed a laugh.

"No," she said in a stern voice, "That can't be right."

The trio turned to her, a silent suggestion for her to elaborate further.

"The guy could have just snap his wrinkly fingers and one of his ROOT Shinobis would suck him of right there in his place."

Tobias and Akiro laughed 'till tears formed in their eyes.

'Never knew that this bitch could make a joke,'

[Well, the bitch that you're talking about will leave you half-dead if she find out that you're bad-mouthing her.]

'Oh please, learn how to take a joke will ya?'

[Oh I will, after you learn how to make one!]

"Okay, Let's us get on with— pftt!"

Akiro tried to take the situation seriously, but with what Nora had said. He couldn't.
