The Secret Mission Part-2

They continued their meeting without any further interruptions or delays. Naruto saw through it without any hitch. But something is screaming in him. It was as if it was all pre-planned. He doesn't know why, but everything happening here seems too much convenient to him.

He entered and went straight through Millianna's room without anyone detecting him. For a Tower this large, you can expect at least some sensory lacrima's which show you anyone's moment in them or some kind of security. But he encountered none.

And the second thing that didn't make any sense is, Millianna was not able to see or sense them when they are just behind the wooden sheet that was obscuring her to the wall. He expected all the mages at least a bit trained in such a large elaborate building.

But there was none. All the doors were open for him as if they are inviting him in and asking him to spy on them. That didn't make any sense to him. Even now, he is not using any special magic to hide. He and Sirius are just behind another wall that is hiding them from the place they all were standing.

He knew how magic works as someone who learnt from basics, Magic gives any half-assed mage a sensory ability that enables them to sense their surroundings. And for people who are well trained in sensing, sensing their surroundings is an involuntary thing.

Dragon Slayers like him can sense anything within a specific range which gets amplified when they are in their element in which case all their senses will be heightened. Sirius can sense up to 100 meters around him. He can sense anyone's magic capacity and their magic density easily.

Sirius always keeps it off as Naruto will always be at his side and Naruto's magic is a big distraction to him with his extra large reserves and its density. But the point is simple, they want him to see everything.

He also observed the fact that by the way, they greeted each other, they don't meet regularly and if he assumes they meet periodically, he has this sense that this was being staged. Everything he is seeing is pre-planned and scripted as if they want to make something clear to someone and using him as a means.

Sirius observed the concentrated face of his father's face. He knew something is amiss by the way things are going. Naruto warned him of potential skirmish or being found and he was prepared to fight when he came in with Naruto.

It is odd when anyone didn't sense them even when they are not using magic to hide. Naruto thought of pranking that cat girl by suddenly coming out like a ghost and scare her. But he felt as if they were pranked here.

'What is it, Papa. I got this feeling that something is wrong'

'You are not wrong, Siri. I am also getting the same feeling. It was like seeing a movie back in my world, where everyone act according to a script in which is detailed and explained' Naruto said it in a disturbingly calm tone that scared Sirius.

'What do you mean scripted. Are you telling me that they all staged this for us to come and see?' asked a confused Sirius. He is getting a good grasp on Humans and their behaviours now, but it seems he is just seeing the tip of an Ice Burg.

'Yes, I'm of that opinion. Ok, I got an idea. Use hiding like a mole and submerge into the ground, I'll use my Sharingan to scan the area and we'll proceed further after that' said Naruto and Sirius sank into the earth floor.

Naruto activated his Sharingan and scanned the area. He can sense the tense movement of muscles in the people in the throne room. This only adds to his suspicion. They somehow got a tip of his arrival and investigation. 'But how. This is an unofficial mission. Only the Council and Legal Guild Masters know about this Job request. If they somehow knew it, then there might a spy in any of the Guilds or The Council itself. It seems the reason to keep an eye on the Council became even bigger priority now' thought Naruto. He wanted to test his theory and sank to the ground, completely erasing his signature.

He can feel everything happening even merged with the floor. He heard speaking and heard carefully.

"Oof. He is gone" said Simon and Naruto heard a sigh of relief from other members.

"I thought our act is not going to cut it," said Sho as Naruto can vaguely imagine the person speaking.

"I left my kitties alone for long. See ya" said Millianna and left the room running to her room. Simon sighed.

"That girl should know better than playing with cats now"

"Come on, Simon. You know her love for cats" said Willy.

"I think the mage left us. Secure the perimeter and increase the speed of construction. After this, the Council will definitely keep an eye on us" said Jellal.

"Jellal, don't you think this is going too far" asked Simon, the only person who can at least keep his mind in any kind of serious situation is Simon. He is a man who thinks logically than impulsively.

"I don't want to take risk, Simon. You know how the Council look at us. They think we are dark mages just because we don't listen to them" said Jellal in a sad tone.

"Ya, I know. But to deceive a person just so we are not found is not common" argued Simon. Naruto felt a small magic spike and Jellal's magic became even more chaotic in him. But he somehow suppressed it.

"You may think that, Simon. But you should know that those Magic Council people are even more dangerous than we could ever perceive them to be. It pains me to deceive someone, but it is necessary for our well being" said Jellal, tears slowly starting to form at the edges of his eyes.

"I think he is right, Simon. You heard about all the stories of the Magic Council from our 'caretakers' when we are forced to be slaves in this same tower. I think what Jellal did is correct" said Willy, supporting the blue-haired mage.

"He is right, I guess" agreed Simon, giving in.

"Well, I think you have work to do, gentlemen," said Jellal, wiping the tears from his eyes and Simon and Willy left giving a nod to Jellal after that.

Jellal is the only one left in the room. Naruto could sense the deceit and acting of Jellal even if he is underground. He also knew that someone is pulling all these strings from behind. After all, a single person has no benefit in constructing a big tower like this and reviving the Legendary Black Mage, Zeref, whoever it is.

'Someone is playing all this. I don't know if Jellal is the key player or not. He is a strong mage to look out for. They are doing something big here. Even though he didn't want to share this information with the Magic Council, he is now compelled to do so. A matter like this can't be kept a secret forever. If he disclosed it now, they may have a chance to avoid a big problem in the future' thought Naruto. He merged into the earth and travelled into the water with Sirius. Before going into the water fully, Naruto turned to the Job request flyer and smiled.
