Silent Infiltration

Hayate took the headset off and exhaled a tired sigh. Help Yugao escape? What was she doing currently that would need his help? But, if he didn't help her then the people of Konoha would be in danger. But the question was, what were they going to be in danger from?! If he helped Yugao, then he would be condemned as a traitor as well. If he helped his comrades, then what would happen to them? What would happen to Yugao? What was he supposed to do?

Hayate took a deep breath and exhaled. "Alright, calm down. Don't panic. Think about it carefully," Hayate remarked to himself.

There had to be an avenue he wasn't looking at. Whoever this person was, he wanted Hayate to act rash. The tokubetsu jonin placed a finger to his chin. "The assignment he has her on will draw attention. What does that mean? Is he talking about a show? It has to be something that will bring people to look at it, but that could be anywhere." Hayate thought. He quickly got up from the couch and moved to get dressed.

"No, wait a minute. That can't be anywhere. Strategically speaking, there are only five, six...ten spots in Konoha that people could watch from nearly every angle in the village. I have to remember that he's somehow forced Yugao to give him sensitive village information. He has to know about these spots as well. Would he be watching? He had to. He sounded like he was obsessed with this so naturally anyone would want to see the culmination of their work. What am I missing?!" Hayate asked. He placed on his shinobi vest and tied his headband.

He then looked out his window. "The only problem is...I don't know what place he would target. He also didn't give me any information on how to get there. Unless…I'll know it along with everyone else. I'll have to help her escape under the cover of fire. I will just have to bid my time then," The ill-looking jonin said to himself. He noticed a small bird on a tree branch in front of his house. It quickly flew away while he walked back into the lower rooms.

...

The bird continued to fly until it reached Naruto's window. The blonde released his control over the flying animal and sighed. A smile was plastered on his face. "Well, at least he's being the obedient little side project," He said before putting the headset away.

It looked like he chose well in capturing Yugao when he could. The control he had taken over her had made his power much stronger and he wouldn't lie and say it wasn't appreciated. Now, he supposed it was time to see how the next phase was going.

"Hellooooo, Yugao-chan. Having a fun time?" Naruto asked. He thought he heard her pant as she knocked out the last of the guards who was tasked with keeping their charge safe from harm. She landed on the floor of a luxurious carpet. She had indeed heard his telepathic call and she didn't like it. She glanced around the open room.

Assortments of fine linen, gold, diamonds, and other precious stones littered the luxury room. The hue of red light created an intensly dark, yet arousing atmosphere and dare Yugao say she could smell the sting of opium on her nose. Her open-toed boots felt the comfortable touch of tiger fur. Wide variety of alcoholic drinks, and questionable food choices laid upon trays of crystal and studded cabinets.

"What do you want? I'm busy doing your assignment, My Lord!" she spat at him, but again Naruto ignored her tone.

There was plenty of time to correct that behavior when she made it home. Through her eyes, he watched her enter the Red Dragon owner's living quarters. Takamura Shingen was his name. The blonde cursed himself for the blush that flew across his face when he saw the man asleep with at least five women hugging him, all of them content.

Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose. He had to stop getting so easily flustered. He had read those stupid magazines back in the convenience stores, but this was much worse than that. Still, his eyes gleamed. They didn't need clothes where they were going.

"So you are. You know, for such a rich guy, he's not as fat as I was expecting him to be. So, this is the man who nearly single-handedly controlled almost all of Konoha's organized crime?" Naruto replied.

Yugao refused, and she would kill anyone who told her otherwise, that she had felt a small smile appear on her face. She. Had. NOT! She merely shook her head and headed for her target. She took out the videotape and placed it in one of the arms of the many courtesans who rested with the man.

It took some time, and a lot of maneuvering, but Yugao finally managed to get the man out from the bed and his...friends without waking him or them. She made sure to type him up, gag him, and she placed just a small vial of strong sleeping powder to his nose so he'd really have some long-lasting dreams.

She then picked him up and placed him on her shoulder. He was...noticeably heavier than he looked. "Why do you even need this man? Konoha has been trying to pin him for crimes for years and, as you can tell, we're not exactly close. What's the benefit?" Yugao asked.

"Oh you'll see. That is if you make it home in one piece," Naruto replied. Yugao started moving towards the window. She glanced back. She did a quick once over to make sure that her entire presence had been erased from the room. Wait, why did he say 'if'?

Yugao gasped when she heard the door behind her burst open. "Shingen-sama! It's just like the caller said! Intruder! We have an intruder!" About three men shouted. Yugao sucked on her teeth before she jumped off the railing.

She really didn't have time for this. She swore if her Lord had something to do with this then she was going to make him pay one way or the other! She frowned as she scaled down the outside wall. The shouts of disfigured screaming came into her ears. She landed on one of the outer posts.
