Acting is one of the traits of being a Shinobi. Well, let's just say, traits of being ninja. As a child born in the times of war, childhood is pretty much doesn't exist. Friends? Family? Clan? That was all you have to lean on. Izuna doesn't have friends, only family to protect and love, only a Clan as a responsibility.
Right now, this woman may only be here to know me. You see, being Uchiha, beauty and elegance is natural in our lineage. Not being narcisstic but being one of the genius of the clan, combine with my handsome face, came with a booming fangirls. Attraction to opposites sex doesn't interest me as I am one of the leader heads of the Clan, meaning more responsibilities eating my time.
Besides, I know I'm straight. Totally into woman, not girls, but woman. I'm attracted to mature woman. Not in age, but in personality. I want a responsible and loving as my partner, forever to love and spend the rest of his life being with them. Maybe a couple of kids along the way.
This was one of the reasons I took this chance. Another take on the challenges.
And good relationship begins on trust. And I trust in myself and the woman to have a good time, should this be the one I want.
Along the way, we didn't speak much but I caught her name. Emilia Daniels. Beautiful name for a beautiful woman.
I guess, this isn't so bad. Afterall, I don't have a plan onwards. I could do a job and buy a crib. Just a simple life to begin. Wait, I don't have any money! It is a common courtesy for a male to pay.
Damn, think, think. Oh, well, I could use 'henge' on things to change into money. Temporary solutions as they will revert back after consuming all the chakra. They will only last a few minutes, minutes is enough.
Izuna looked at Emilia, looking shy, "Hey, Emilia. I'll just go to the bathroom."
Emilia stammered, "Su-sure! I'll be right here."
"Then, I'll be back shortly." Izuna waved and walked to the empty stall, taking a couple leaves along the way. He transformed the leaves into 100 dollars each. I guess, this temporary solution was a success. I will not abuse it as this is 'morally' wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a saint, but this is a temporary in the end.
Izuna came back and the line didn't move at all. It's pretty long line. I guess coffee in the afternoon is common here. Izuna waved and made a small talk to Emilia.
"Hey, what do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking." Emilia said in the middle of our conversation.
"Hm? Well, I'm someone you could say... a bodyguard?" Izuna said with unsure tone, believable in the end as Emilia nodded with a following question.
"Who do you guard with your skinny but muscular body?" She said mischievously. Wow, I didn't expect that. That was a quite a leap to say.
Probably thinking what I'm thinking, She immediately blushed and stammered, "I-it's not like... that, okay?"
Izuna chuckled, "It's alright. Anyone would question how I can defend someone with this body. Well, I could handle it, if you don't believe it."
"Well, I'll believe you this time." Emilia said as we are the next in line. She ordered a cup of cappucino while Izuna ordered an espresso. She was about to reach in her pocket when Izuna stopped her, saying he will handle it.
Well, she persisted, alright, but Izuna won in the end. She was mumbling about she was the one who invited and she gets a free treat. She was right, but I'm a man. I have pride, you know? Man is one of the prideful species if you don't know.
We got into our table beside an open window. It was pretty nice place, very cool and neat environment. It helps in our conversation to feel comfort. I gotta thank these places. In the end, it was fun. Even, I was acting a false personality, I like it. This feeling is all new to me, maybe tgis would be my personality if I wasn't born in worst times.
I would treasure this as this will always be a reminder, I am happy.
Unfortunately, all good things have to end. Izuna sensed someone watching him. He alerted himself for any upcoming events. He then realizes that the whole shop was very tensed, all the customers, employees and the people on the street are glancing over him. Damn, they know. Izuna looked at the babbling and cheerful woman infornt of him, he smiled. So much innocence that she didn't notice any wrong on the surrounding.
Izuna was preparing himself as the people here noticed he looked at everyone of them. They know, must be experts in reading people, constantly mumbling behind their hands, seemingly communicating on themselves. Good tactic.
Izuna once again smiled at Emilia and finally said, "Hey, Emilia." She stopped babbling and took a look at Izuna.
"Yes, asian man?" She giggles to herself as earlier she thought the name 'Izuna' was an asian name.
"You gotta go, it is not safe here." Izuna smiled sadly.
"What do you mean? What's wrong?" Shw said skeptically. She then finally noticed the tensed atmosphere in the place. She looked at Izuna, silent as he glances at his environment, she was immediately scared.
A tall black man arrived at the store, he was bald with an eyepatch at left side of his eye. His expression looked angry and serious when he came in. He then took a walk until he arrive at Izuna's table.
At Nick Fury's perpective, this man was outgoing outside but when he felt the danger, he became indifferent and serious. Like an assassin, with a large power surge flowing in his body. Just like Carol but deadly and dangerous.
Izuna looked at the bald man, then at Emilia, saying, "Don't worry, Emilia. They came for me. Be a good girl and go." Emilia look scared and worried but she braved herself and nodded. She stood and left.
Izuna remained calm as he assess the people around him as ants who can't do anything. Especially what he knows a gun on their body. They are fast but I'm faster. No offense but their training was the only thing that's good.
"So, Mr. Uchiha. You might be wondering why I know your name and why we are here for you. I think you know, don't you?" Nick Fury started. In his long life, he didn't see anything much more threatened to man infront of him, except for Carol and the living beings outside this planet. He has eyes and ears everywhere, achieving to find threats of this world. His paranoid amd cunning personality was his biggest trait that made him the director of SHIELD.
"I'm not wondering, actually. I only noticed now that you have bugged this table using the waiters, me being distracted and all, didn't notice it. I also think that you have devices that track special energies, as I see that you people doesn't have." Izuna calmly said, sipping to his coffee like nothing is happening around him.
Fury sat at the table infront of him, the table earlier occupide bu Emilia. He stared at Izuna's two eyes with his one eye. Seemingly satisfied, he asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Uchiha? Are you from another place, say another planet?"
Izuna assess the person infront of him, just like the others, his mind is the only thing that is good, not his combat skills, but his experience in it.
He said finally, "I'm here because of a chance. I know you guys are defining other entities outside of this planet as 'alien', but unfortunately, I'm not one. I'm just a smart person." He smiled. He knows what tactic this person is doing.
"Hmm, how about we take this to another place, Mr. Uchiha?" He asked, raiding his eyebrow.
Well, coffee break is over.
