Season of Fortune

Prologue
Peering down at the grave stones of both foster grandparents Takashi's felt a new wind sweep his body, new thoughts sweep his mind. Thought's that would not have penetrated his thought process had he not witnessed the death of both grandparents. Their finacial situation led to the passing of his grandfather first, unable to afford better treatment, a doctor who with such greed willingly watched the old man die daily and complained only how he was doing them a favor by even treating him to begin with. Such disregard for life yet valve in monetary value in an piece of paper. The kindness taught to him went ignored by the world, they only understood somethin with value, respect and kindness was foreign to them.

Sorry kid not my fault this treatment isn't free. Money Talks and right now you and your grandmother don't dont have much to say, I gotta make a living too. The last words of the doctor set off bells in his ears and head. The mantra drove him to a destination and feeling to chase after, he would never be broke again, he would never not have. Fine then we play by their rules. Takashi said balling his fist up in the dirt where his grandparents laid in peace. The dirt flying from his hands in the wind as the sky darkened.

If Money talk's then i'll never run out of things to say, I will never be without another day in my life, I will make my own living and in life have everything I ever set my eyes on having. it all starts today with this power of my eyes. The pain and blood it sheds when I wield it isn't as bad, it will become my new sword and shield. Takashi said smiling the sharingan vibing slowly through his eyes, the red glow every bit as focused as his gaze in the distance was.

I can't just run up and steal the all money and payments I gave all to that doctor, no he would recognize me, I need to cover myself. Takashi said running into the house, he rummaged throough the closet to find a out set of cloaks and robes worn by his grandfather when he was younger. The cloaks were all black, and easily covered him and amde him unrecognizable. The excitement of what he was about to took over him and the adrenaline coursed through him, his better judgement gone away buried deep under the overwhelming desire to have everything he felt he wanted. He would never be able to guy or get his grandparents back, but new happiness could be bought. Anything was possible if you had enough money.. Money Talks.

The hood was large enough to cover his head and disguise him, but his eyes peered through the darkness of the hood like flashlight in the night. They sell all types of mask's down there by the towns and inn's it would be easy to get my hand on one. Takashi said reaching his pocket, looking to find whatever source of money remained. In finding none, his resolve needed to be pushed no more, that emptiness he felt was answer enough. No cash, oh well we do it my way. Takashi said as he headed toward the door. Closing it and looking back as he did. His walk to the town would not be long, but gave him time to reacces the situation, once he got within range of looking at the mask thanks to his eye's visual prowess he stopped to think.

Alright if I remember correctly the left eye is the one that does the long range version of this jutsu, I gotta find a new for this jutsu one day, I dont even know what to call this thing. Anyway lets go... just like he we practiced. Takashi said focusing his vision on the Mask he wanted, it had a strange cat like face to it, but it would get the job done with the eye slits were concerned. The barrier spun to life and pulled the mask in, he kept it small and focus so it would not be any bigger than it needed to be and cause attention.

Perfect, that didn't even take but a few seconds. Takashi said looking around to see who saw his long distance pickpocketing technique. He saw the store owner come outside and check out his inventory and when he saw the mask missing he looked out among the crowd of people walki to spot someone. That's my cue to skadu. He said hiding himself behind one of the food carts. Alright the right eye is the short range one and does the teleportation. He focuseed the barrier on his own body and pulled himself into it. Within Seconds he was wisked away and opened a spiral back into his house. Safely away from prying eyes and harm.

Oh yea I am getting the hang of this shit. Takashi said quickly covering his mouth, he expected to be popped but there was no one here to do so, nothing to keep him in line. A smiel crept up on his face. Now if I remember I can transport and teleport the make here with me Takashi said taking sa deep breath and focusing his eye on his left hand, the spiral swirled to life as the barrier dropped the mask directly in his palms. He smiled looking at the smallest of his handy work.

Easy money. Takashi grinned putting the mask on his face, it covered his face completely he had to adjust the eye slits so he could see perfectly and then put the hood on to cover anything facial features that would get him discovered. He looked around the house of what remained of his childhood, only thing that he cared about were the grave stones outback, the hous emeant nothing. He looked out the window and visualized his grandfathers image appear before his sharingan..... and remember something he would always tell him before bed.

THE WORLD IS YOURS

Chapter 1: Enter the Ghost Raider
The mask and cloak became another shield and sword for him to use to further his goals, Money Talks is all he told himself, it was what he was missing. Every moment he donned the cloak and mask the power of becoming the person he saw himself at the end of the tunnel was more and more intoxicating. He would start with the very man who uttered the life changing words to him, he knew where to find him and exactly where he lived all he had to do was get there. He quickly wisped away into the barrier spiral that pulled him into it's embrace and he reappeared on the top of the man's house, using his Sharingan;s powers he could see the people and invidiuals in the house, a small child running, a wife reading and a series of rooms that were empty. Phasing through the roof by sending his body to the material barrier that he owned he slipped through the walls and made sure to land gently on the floor. He peer around the first room and much to his chagran saw nothing of great value. Nothing that screamed out at him as worth selling.

He was careful of touching to much stuff and risk leaving something that shows traces of someone being here or that someone came in and went through stuff. He gently slide among the floor and phased into the next room, passing through the walls completely untouched. In this room there was a small fridge and what appeared to be a safe right next to it, there was a combination locker seal on the door of the safe that appeared to be jutsu oriented, needing hand sign to unleash on it to remove the seal.

Hmm for a doctor this guy is unusually through with his security, who else would put this kind of lock on their safes, unless they were hiding something. Takashi thought to himself as he rubbed his gloved hands silently together. He didn't have time to mess with the lock, he would take the whole damn safe. Focusing his vision on the safe he quickly creating the long range spirial barrier to pull it in quickly and quietly. Leaving no trace or even touching it for the moment, didnt wanna risk anythhing going off.

Easy money, if money talks doc then I bet your ass gone be quiet for a long time, be- Takashi stopped when the door opened as he was about to actually teleport himself out. The small child stopped dead in his tracks and froze like a frightened puppy. Takashi made no sudden moves, he didn't want to alarm the child any further nor upset him to cry while he stood there.

BOOOOOOO IM THE BOOGEYMAN AND IM HERE TO EAT CHA!!!! Takashi whispered loud enough for the child to hear and made a move toward him.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MOMMY!!!!!! THE BAD CLOSET MONSTER IS HERE!!!!!!! The child cired hysterically and ran away from the doo and toward the steps. The moment he hit the steps it was all the time Takashi needed to vanish without a trace. He quickly transported himself from the room back into his own dimension and landed right where he had the safe nicely waiting for him like a nice woman in bed.

The area in his dimension as usual was drenched in a very light and relaxing rain, the gargantuan temple platform where he landed took a large piece of earth for an area that went on forever. No one could reach him in here and this gave him ample time to mess with the seal placed on the door.

Not about to sit here and play tag with a sealing tag, I saw the chakra level in the doc this should be ebough to get it off. Weaving handsigns he made the seals needed to focus his chakra and FIRE STYLE FIRE BALL JUTSU!!!!!!, he kneaded chakra from his stomach and fired a decent sized ball at the door of the safe causing it to blast it into the air and land painfully among the temple grounds. The seal tag was charred off and the door popped open, and within that safe he saw small stacks of money. All of which were now his.

20,000 Ryo, not big money but enough to cover food for two weeks, had he worked he would have never seen this kind of money till damn near the end of his life. Though a small score the invigoration it gave him was like a taste of heaven, the power he felt holding that money was unlike any other. Suddenly it became clear why men were so tied down to monetary value, beyond the power of his eyes the one in his hand gave him a quick test taste of what the main course was... and it was a damn good thnig he brought his appetiate.

Yooo this feels way to good, but no this this isnt enough I gotta have more, this was chump change and small score, we got bigger and badder the next time and then the next time. Takashi said as he counted the money within his palms. The lust of greed slowly calling him. Well this was a nice wake up call but now its time to make some real money.

Money talks eh doc? well then there is hell to pay and I coming to collect. Takashi said as the money signs flashed in the red of his eyes. Life in the fast line was about to begin.

---SIX MONTHS LATER

HAHAHHAHAAHAHA. Takashi laughed as he look among the massive safe he built containing brief cases of money he snatched on his six month long world tour. From raiding and robbing mob bosses and their funds to disrupting shipments and making off with their products and fliping them to sell them back. Life was good, the money was piling up faster than he could count it.

I don't even have a way to count all this money im packing. Takashi said looking up to the sky of his dimension, the rain gently landing on his face as his sharingan glared up into the sky. See that grandpops and Grandma, Ive gotten more than enough to give you proper burials and tombstones. You both were right, the world is mine and with this instrument here I will gain it it all. Takashi said holding money in his hand as he ran his fingers through it the sliding paper sound between his fingers was as orgasmic as he imagined. The smell was just as intoxicating as the hold, right now he had in his hands the most powerful and alluring drug... Money, and no matter how much he held it still felt like it was not enough.

You know what, I need to be around some love, take a nice vacation somewhere, get into some hto springs, entertain a few ladies, and sip some nice sake. Takashi said imagining it all in his mind. The images painted before his mind were teasing him ever so gently as now the taste got in his mouth. What was once a dream to him now became a goal, something tangible, he could grasp it, no longer did he have to watch from a far he could not live it.

The question is where, where is a good spot with some honey's good food and sake. Hmmmmm where's that map I know put it here some where. Takashi said walking over to his archives, rummaging through to find his map. When it came into view he quickly grabbed it and opened it, laying it across the floor.

Now I spy with my little eyes a nice vacation weekend where. Takashi said running his finger over the surface of the map, looking and waiting to see which caught his eye enough to want to visit and take some time off from his daily job. He needed and deserved a vacation and he would see to it that the one he took would be a good one in the best direction.

Got it. Takashi said pressing his thumb to the paper on the location he chose for himself to take some time off in. The Land of Sky is nice around this time of year, not to mention they have some nice sounevirs there as well. I think I am getting more for my buck here in this deal. Takashi said starting to take some money from the safe he had taken from that doctor. So far in 6 months he managed to rack up 100,000 Ryo, a nice number but still short on a few zero's to him. He needed to see that number increase, the thought of that brought a slight erection and arousal to his face and body.

He smelled the wads of cash as he placed them in his wallet, she always did smell good to him as he placed it in the wallet. Looking over he saw his Midnight Raider gear placed on the hooks and racks he made within this Gargantuan size temple, the weapons he had gathered and could eject anytime he wanted. Grabbing his Cane he slung it over his back where it stood hooked like a C or the eternal question mark.

Let's make tracks. Takashi said as he pulled himself in his own spiral barrier and began to send himself to the newly rebuilt Land of Sky.

Chapter 2: Money On The Skyline
Having known exactly where the land of sky was rebuilt at did him a huge favor as thanks to his abilities with the Kamui he could teleport to any location he desired, the accuracy of the teleportation was even sharper having knowledge of where he wanted to go. While it may have been known as the Land of Sky the area itself was still under going deeper repairs and not quite ready to take off and live among the skies once more.

So this is the new Ancor Vantian. Takashi said as he came out of the barrier space off toward the hidden end. He transported himself in a closed off area among the market place, randomly popping up in the middle of a bustling districct such as this would cause unrest and draw suspiscion that he did not need at all.

First we find a an Inn, a good one complete with a wonderful Inn, hot springs and most importantly good food and even better liquor. Takashi said to himself as he walked among the crowds of people within the market place. With his Sharingan active he could see the chakra mong the people quickly discerning who were shinobi and who were just regular citizens. He noticed a alarming number of masked shinobi all bearing the headband of the Sky and purple flak hacjets simply scattered amon the area in different location. There was no need to raise alarm as they were going about their day but it was made clear they were ready to get to action within moments.

Hmm The shinobi are indeed enjoying themselves, but if shit were to go down they would be immediately be ready to tackle and deal with any threat, Takashi said shifting his gaze to each purple flak jacket he saw, looking at the color of their chakra, their weapons and even the movement of the lips of those who faces he could see. His eyes quickly processed all this information giving him a decent idea of the tone of the village. Fun, but prepared, I will need to move logically and carefully to avoid making any big scenes, work within the parameters of stealh during my mini vacation. Takashi said quietly, a small girn plastered on his face as he went back to reading the signs of the areaa finally coming across a great size Inn that offered just what his doctor ordered.

Pay his money for a week only cost him 5,000 Ryo, a 1000 for each day he stayed during the course of his day, free access to the Hot Springs, showers and food buffets. Breakfast was served from 7AM-11:30 before it became lunch. Dinner from 6-9PM, anything else afterward snack would be out for the guest but if he had any late night trips he would need to find food himself.

Time to unwind, grab some stuff and get to work. Takashi said pulling the roomkey from his pocket as he walked closer to his door. His room number read 305 and he turned the key to open the door as the locking mechanism unbolted giving him access to his room. The room was nothing special one king size bed, a desk, drawers, walk in closet and a bathroom with both a tub and shower. The best feature was his view from the third floor.

Thsi is nice, but none of it matters I am more interested in what my hottub is gonna look and feel like. Takashi said two stepping his way to grab a towel and prepare his body to soak in the hot calming water. Undressing he wrapped his tower around his waist as his clothes hit the floor, cover his privates and legs for the most part. He greabbed his Bingo Book and pen and made his way toward the hot springs on the second floor area. Walking down the steps and turning the corner and walking a smal distance down the hallway before he found a door leading to the back which led to a men's side and a woman side.

He could hear voice coming from the woman's side while the man's side seemed empy for the time being, he knew this was boudn to change but at least he would have peace to go over his book. Taking his towel off and folding it beside a headrest spot he slowly dipped his tanned toned body into the depths of the euphoric water. it was if healing properties pssessed this water and all the muscles spasms he had relaxed, his body was on coast mode, but the red glare of his sharingan did not leave his eyes. He kept his eyes active near constantly he neer knew when something would cross his vision when he wanted something, or when someone was gonna learn his chakra source.

Now I remember writing a while a ago the Land of Sky was well known for its technoqlogy, it produced many items and machines that could only be found here in this village. Personally i'd rather not be on the clock while on vacation, but I am already here to let this go just because I was being lazy is just making more work for myself later in having to return. Takashi said sitting down within the water its surface rising as he turned back to grab his book and break it's seal. He flipped pages through his finger tips softly and swiftly used his keen perception to sift through the pages quickly till he found what he sought.

Hold up. Takashi said catching his finger at the last page that was about to flip over like the other, flipping it back he got a nice long look at the chapters he wrote on the Land of Sky, three items caught his eye and never let it go. The first was the Winged Mechanical Device, a instrument that gave shinobi the ability to fly using their own chakrs as a way to take to the skies. A fine specimen that could be acquired, kepy and possibly sold. This tech was used in wars and was a huge reason they were so hard to beat in the Second Shinobi war, apparently as tiome passed the models ony got better and better. The second was a more advanced version which was called the unlike the first it took three people to man it but overall was far more powerful than the first one. The third and final one was a which was a rapid fire ballistics style weapon which fired of rounds of Kunai and possibly other Shinobi weapons. The land of Sky was as expected well ahead of his rivals with this tech, the thought of acquiring some of this tech got his dick hard enough to punch through rocks as the profit he would win would be enourmous, and if he got enough he could keep at least one of each for himself. He could store them in his Archives and cross them out of his book.

You smell that?? I know I do and it smells' ...smells like Money to be made. Takashi said taking a deep breath before exhaling greatly among the steam, he woudl still need a plan for getting close to these weapons and obtaining them. The local number of presnt Land of Sky shinobi would make dealing with that one much easier than it should have been, their large numbers among the district made them easy pickings. He would soak for the moment, but all the while put together the mental image of how he planned for this heist to go. For this he would need the services of the Midnight Raider.

Alright thats enough, time to get to work and invest in my future next egg. Takashi said rising from the water and heading toward the step. he wrapped his towel around his waste and made his wat to his room. the sun had only gone done slightly but the moon steadily rose to exchange shifts of the day to night. Meaning it was time for him to embrace the night and get started.

Everyone knows after a hard days work some shinobi most likely stop and grab something to eat or run down to the bar to grab a drink or two long before they go home. The bar was an especially easy place to trap a shinobi within a genjutsu, use the liquor they drink as a device to make them believe they drank more than they did and induce a hangover, use that as a way to get them to talk to talk to me as if they would a fellow Sky shinobi and then make my move. Takashi said throwing his clothes back on and grabbing some money with him, he planned to buy two drinks of his own, to better at ease his targets. Ill dress as a civilian that way I am not suspected of anything more or even look the part. My cover will be that of a inn's keeper who just got off and gave my shift to another. Takashi said going over his plan in the comfort of his room.

With the plan set he prepared to head to the bar.

9:08PM At the Bar Slowly sauntering to the front entrance he passed the clothes that hung on the outside lifting it as he came in. Takashi in all right was extremely to young to be drinking, but his look made him appear in his early 20's rather than 15 and as a bonus he had good money on him. Long as he paid they would serve. Takashi quickly scanned the room with his sharingan active, the chakra of everyone in the area was settled and mostly calm. A few couples were eating some friends some family here and there, by all scattered about, the bar had 4 empty seats and two were taken up both by women. His luck would change as a Sky Shinobi came out of the bathroom and flung his hands in the air to dry them off.

He took his seat on the outside of the woman and ordered another drink. Takashi smiled relaizing this increased his chances greatly. Easy money, with the women present he wont admit or allow himself to be outdrunk by me, his ego will likely help dig him into a whole and make this process easier. Takashi said rubbing his hand together in his mind. Physically he just started his motion toward the bartender's stools and took a seat.

Question sir and ill leave you alone, but what did you order to drink? Takashi said tapping the man on his shoulder as he sat down.

Oh this? just some Honjozo, been a long day from work and I want is a nice strong drink and to go home with at least one of these ladies here. The Sky Shinobi said as he was about to reach for his drink.

Ah I know the feeling somewhat, work is always hard for an inn keeper but with my grandmother dying it I just never got over it yet. All I do now is find my happiness at the insides of these glasses, I chase it to its all gone and before I know it im back where I started. But for one commentary moment I find happiness you know. Takashi said playing at the game gently easing his way in.

What will you have to drink sir? The Bartender asked looking into Takashi's now green eyes, he retreated his sharingan for the moment to avoid detection or stirring concerning.

You said you got a Honjozo right? Well Bartender I need something stronger Iv'e built a huge tolerence to Sake in my days so I need a man's drink, something to really get me going, so Ill go with the strongest drink you have. Make it two matter fact. Takashi said looking at the bartender nodding his head.

Sorry Man, the Honjozo sounds good and all but I can't get a buzz with a light drink like that no shade to you but if you really wanna enjoy a drink, you gotta drink a man drink. But if your tolerence isn't enough then.. I can understand. Takashi said wittingly, his words were like fire and oil being smeared together, all the fuel needed to coax the man into giving it a taste.

The plan worker the woman giggled at the sky shinobi's hesitation and resolve and looked to see if he would take the challenge. The Sky shinobi looked at the woman and he really wanted the brunette chick, but if he didnt take this challege she would see him as a chump or worse go home with this green eyed man who just showed up challenging him.

tch!! alright you on but dont expect me to carry you when this is all over. The Sky shinobi said sliding his drink off to the side. Bartender I want the strongest drink too!!!

Only One? takashi said raising his eyebrow?

GRRRR make it 2 no matter fact three shots of the strongest. You have done it now Green eyes I hope you got the balls and stones to back up the trash you talked earlier.

The women giggled and laughed and went about drinking their, as Takashi's and the Sky shinobi's arrived on a tray from the bartender.

Now man lets see if you can really handle your liqour like you say you can. The Sky shinobi reached for both of his shots and down them easily. stopping to allow his body to register the strength of the liqour which hit him as soon as it was digested. Distilled Rice Sake HA I could do this all day! The Sky shinobi said looking over at the ladies and then back at takashi who finished his two shots as well. he made no such face of discomfort as he drank.

What? The Sky shinobi was surprised to see how well he handled those drinks, he noticed his vison faded slightly. However he couldn't either this newcomer or the women see his intoxication.

Why the lost look? you would happen to be feeling disoriented would you? or even Drunk??. Takashi said as for a flash he activated his sharingan and used his Genjutsu: Sharingan focusing on the words disoriented and drunk and use those words as seeds to pla within the mind into tricking it into toxication the liquor consumed made it much easier as when he would wake up this would all be a drunk hangover that he would barily remember.

Damn... wait.. no I can't be.. this is so strong. The Sky shinobi said ensnared by the genjutsu, he swayed for a moment and shook his head the feelings of a drunken stupor overtook him and he felt the feeling arise as if he had to throw up. he nearly leaned from his chair and fell, but Takashi caught him and helped him move from te chair.

The women laughed at his discomfort but the man was to caught into the drunken genjutsu to notice or care. There' there, its fine, did he pay if not ill pay and cover him. Taksahi offered as the bartender held up his hand saying he had already done so. Takashi took this time to reach into his pockey and slide the money for his drink, he nodded to the woman to say buy and escorted the man outside where the mission could go on.

Takashi Reactivated his sharingan and would let the conversation continue. Must have had a lot to drink man, but being a shinobi is hard work I can imagine, but what made you come in here and drink like this. Takashi said as his sharingan tomoe spun once and focused in on The Sky shinobi's eyes.

The Sky shinobi while drunk sang like a bird telling takashi's all sort of information he had intel on, most importantly the weapons, tech and upcoming plans the Land of Sky had to get the island back into the sky. While less concerned with their political stading he listened intently on what he needed and wanted to know. he used the Sharingan's abilities to see into the mind to know where the man lived and made sure he got their safely, once he did so Takashi could focus on he next task.

Well he told me everything, and the rest I saw for mself within his mind. The Land of Sky is just booming with new tech and ideas, but a good heist is carried out by grabbing what you need and not becoming greedy, that is always the downfall. Takashi said to himself as he was no prepared to steal the mentioned items within his checklist bingo book. Inside the man's house he grabbed one of his Jonin outfit that symbolized the Sky Shinobi outfit and was going to take it with him as a souvenir as well. or maybe use it while he was inside.

Time to make tracks. takashi said opening a Kamui Barrier and quickly transporting himself back to his room.

Having transported himself to his room, he donned on his Midnight Raider gear throwing the cloak and gloves on quickly and leaving the mask for last. Looking into the back face plate of the mask where his fast would rest and the strap to hold over his head sat waiting for him to finish the puzzle. The last few months had been a whirlwind of successful heist and mission, et he felt as if nothing was accomplished he had a nice size cash cow savings, but it was wasn't enough, he needed more. He needed to aim higher.

The tech I snatch from here should be enough to net me a nice size fortune, ill be sure to keep a few for myself as well for souvenirs sake. Takashi said finally placing the mask over his face, fiddling with the strap to adjust over his head. Positioning the eye slots to fit firmly over his eyes. Having placed the final piece of the puzzle on he transported himself to the roof to gain optimal positioning to look survey the Land and embraced the darkness of the night. The stars above him lit the midnight sky up like fireworks and celebrations that hung in positions, witness to yet another of Takashi's raids. Among the stars watching him, he felt something else, like prying eyes gazing at him watching him. Turning to confirm he saw nothing but the view of villages buildings and rooftops, no eyes of another or people to view his actions.

Hmm thats strange, i've never felt like I had eyes watching me like this ever before a heist. Takashi said grabbing at the cane that rest gently on his back. He tightened his grip around the cane before he made his descent into the night and ground level, making excellent use of his parkour skills and movement, fliping, jumping and nimbly moving from area to area avoiding detection, suspicision, and eyes of Sky shinobi before he landed on the building just across from the area the shinobi's information was centered on.

So this is the weapon and ammuntion quarters. Focusing his Sharingan he peered through the building looking to see the number of guards and shinobi still lingering around, the night patrol around this time was still pretty tight, far from a skeleton crew, but not overbearingly worryin either. It was smart money to up patrols at night.

What the?!!!. Takashi quickly turned around feeling as if something or someone was behind him and once again it was nothing. What the hell?!!, he swore he saw two shadows move a small one and a larger humanoid one, but he didnt have time to check the scene or area, but clearly he caught the attention of someone here.

Well hide and go seek is only fun when I am the one hiding, I dont seek people, I seek fortune, Takashi said checking his coast and then leaping into the ground and phasing completely through the ground. He stayed there for a few seconds as he traversed from the outside inside and use the sharingan's vision to keep his eye on the chakra of the people above him, they were not alerted at all.

One, two, three. takashi pushed himself upward to phease back from underground and above surface, gently touching the floor with his foot, but putting no weight on it to keep the silence as still as possible. The inside was much larger than he gave it credit for, and the guard before him strafed forward not even aware of the prescence behind him. Takashi took this as a open policy process and using his cane's hook side he quickly reached out and grabbed the man spun him to make eye contact. Once there eye met Takashi released his Genjutsu: Sharingan ordering him to "take 5" palcing the man into a deep slumber.

Work related stress can lead to fatigue and prone to passing out but sleeping on the job, whew talk about an infraction. Takashi said picking the man up and placing him gently on the wal. Leaning him upward it looked like he propped himself to take a quick nap. The next guard in the following corrider also had a similar meeting with Takashi's Cane and eyes. This time he hypnotized the man telling him he was overworked and underpaid and he needed a vacation. Having fallen prey to the hypnosis the man followed order of the genjutsu and left his post, leaving noone standing between him and the stockpile of weapons, araments and tech the land of Sky had to offer. Everything kunai and shuriken you could imagine was here, even the one's that were so large the idea of trying to throw them seem assinine.

It's a fire sale and everything must go. Takashi said circling the stockpile like a vulture over a corpse, his eyes looking over all the delectable assortments that were presented to him. if this was truly and all you order buffet, then takashi was the fatmanstaling every nook and cranny these piles had to offer.

Ill take one of those a few of these, gotta grab these, how could I leave this out you, you know I gotta grab you baby. Takashi said placing all the weapons he wanted in a pile on the floor in front of him. From large Fuma Shurikens to unnaturally large Kunai, Takashi stockpiled and filled his wish list like a kid at christmas. There was now way he would be able to throw these massive Kunai but he could eject them from his time space and use them as projectiles. Despite this he did not see his main targets, they were much farther down the room and held in an individual spots. the Winged Mechanical Device, and the Handheld Kunai Launcher all stood among their own piles within a large locker that spanned for a few meters.

Uhhhhh Hello, Takaski said smoothing his long balck hair backwards behind his mask and slowly sauntering forward to greet his payday. Well, you ladies are looking very nice, healthy clean and as pretty as a man can ask for. Let's go we're going for a little date and trip. Takashi said reaching out and grabbing three of each item. One for himself, one for one market location, and the other for a different makert location. Focusing his vision he ejected a Large Purple scroll from his space time and brought here in front of him.

He unfurled it revealing a long empty white sheet before i reached the part where it possessed writing for other instruments. Alright ladies, its time to redine how we confine space so if you dont mind I need all feet hands and object to remain inside the ride at all time. Takashi said weaving handsigns and sealing each of the instruments within the scroll, adding to its contents and his own little market merchant program.

Rolling the scroll back up he used his cane to reach for the strap and picked it up lifting it over his shoukders and sideways over his back. Then made his way back toward the other stockpile of individual weapons he picked out from himself. Time to cash in and get out. takashi said using standing between both piles of weapons he created. using his right eyes abilities he opened the size of the barrier to create a spiralling ripples that expanded beyond his body and to the piles of weapons, they were instantly transported into his eyes dimensions and once they were he slipped back into his timespace as well,

MISSION COMPLETE!!!!!. Takashi said as his voice trailed off with the closing of his transportation barrier.

Chapter 3:Immoral Immortality: The Lost Scythe
- Day 2.| Time 11:05AM Location Takashi's Dimension| "If Success could talk it would thank me for making it look good and sound even better". Takashi congradulated himself on the previous heist in the land of Sky. He went there looking to obtain their weapons and war technology as well as enjoy some R&R. Looking out the window of his five star hotel inn he looked back on his actions of the first day and allowed it's success to soak into his skin as did the rays of the sun that warmly greeting his flesh. "Tomorrow is simply to finish what you couldn't the day before". Takashi mummbled to himself outloud from his balconey view. The most impressive feature his so called 5 star room offer him. The aesthetic beauty of the view was ruined by the thoughts of his grandfather and grandmother who both passed living borderline above poverty. In their deaths his sharingan found life and through those eyes he knew they would finally live to see the life they deserved not the one forced on them.

"Alright day 2 of my lovely 5 day stay that the Innskeeper was so kind to drop in my lap. I could rest on my morales and take the day off but im feeling lucky ive got the other days to take my vacation so lets hit the books and get back to work shall we". Takashi said releasing his body from his folding chair. He sauntered over to his personalBingo Book and began to flip through the pages. "This next job should be at a much further location, If I pull another job too close it may alert the authorities of my location and accidently narrow the location of their investigation. Space will be required for this sooo looks like daddy's gonna be going out of town for this one". Takashi said allowing the pages to flip swiftly between his fingers. The breeze of the pages felt rather soothing on his face, complimenting the area humidity. THERE!!! Takashi said pressing his finger in between the pages to stop the motion. His sharingan tracked the quick movement of the pages allowing his eye to read an pick up the information easily, however one page offered just what he needed.

"Hmmm, its got the distance, the location is good. The weather and women there are all nice and the object in question is definitely gonna fetch me a nice price if sold to the right crowd". Takasi said placing the book on his lap the image of came into view. Not just any triple bladed scythe, but the very one that was used and carried by former member of that Akatsuki group. "The weapon lacks any special abilities but its symbolism and its influence would be priceless to Jashinist who would see this as a prime religious artifact of the first jashinist to survive the immortality experiments". Takashi stated as his blood raced beneath his skin. The weapon may as well have been a giant money symbol or even a women in a tight revealing dress as Takashi did little to hide the lust that was protruding from his body.

"The information on its last known location is pretty scarce, but I can't let that discourage me. I can't allow a fine ass women such as herself be out there cold and alone so ill pick her up and keep her company for the evening". Takashi said resting back in his chair as he folded the page over in his book, placing it on the floor as he took a slight nap.

Day 2|Time: 11:55PM|Location:Leaving Kamui transport Barrier "Game time" and its time to show up and show out.. Takashi said grabbing his cloak and Anbu mask donning them both on and fooling around in the comfort of his own dimension. Time to get to work and make some money. Takashi said transporting himself from within his own space time plane to the natural one.

A fine breeze encapsulated the that spun the leaves into a waltz around Takashi. Perhaps, their rustle was why he didn't notice the approaching deer who surrounded him in a pack, or perhaps it was the fact that the scythe abandoned the altar. What welcomed him was not the treasure, but a fierce group of angry deer ready to pounce at his command. In the distance, a shinobi could be heard calling out orders.

Released from his barrier he was surprised to see himself surrounded by Deer each of them staring among the eyeholes of his mask. His own Sharingan glaring and shifting to each of the deer he came here looking for a A weapon he could sell and make money from not be sounrrounded by nature and then treated to a staring contest.

"Didn't expect to be invited to the reindeer games in the middle of the forest". Takashi said surprised the deer were on to him so fast. The fact he teleported hear meant this weapon was well hidden otherwise he would have teleported right on top of it nearly. Being discovered like this meant not only was he not prepared for the this weapon to have been guarded, but it was a rare moment he was caught with his pants down. "Well this has certainly been a educational visit and I see now the dangers of getting directions from tourist who think they know where they are going so since what I am looking for isn't here ill just pretend I saw nothing and just leave the way I came huh. Takashi said keeping his eyes trained on each and every single deer in his line of vision. Keeping his intangibility active incase he needed to phase through the ground or "Ghost Walk" to freedom he also used his Vision to search the area for the weapon, but because it gave off no chakra signature and he was surrounded by deear all he saw was that of the creatures around him. Regardless of the next move he sought to avoid a fight, fighting meaning working harder, not smarter.

"What are you here for?" A shinobi emerged between the herd of deer to face the shinobi. "Were you looking for something?" His tone was sarcastic, and his smile was smug. He knew very well what the explorer had come searching for. Afterall, he had been tasked with protecting it for generations, until the hokage requested it to be moved, but its place to be guarded from fellow treasure-hunters. Afterall, the resting place of the individual still lied below, untampered. The only indicitation of his presence are his muffled screams that reach deaf ears.

Takashi's eyes diverted their attention to the voice that question his actions among this area. He knew the Nara Clan forest was heavily protected but he expected it to be shinobi, not a series of creatures of the wild, but to see a man emerge offered the idea that perhaps this plan would not go completely awry. "Funny as this may seem I winded up here by accident, I got bad direction and what I thought would be here isn't here rather I found myself in a forest having a staring contest with enough deer to make its own country". Takashi explained as he spit forward his truths. He expected to be in and out just like so, but complications come a mile a minute in this line of work. "Looking at the setting here its not hard to tell you guard this land or have some connection to it, and since unlike these Deer you can talk and not just stare ill ask you. I am looking for a specific weapon, a scythe its a weird triple bladed one with a damaged cord you wouldn't have happened to seen such a tool have you?". Takashi spoke calmy and cooly as possible. Showing he meant no harm.

The shinobi gave Takashi a pointed look as he examined him. A breeze blew carelessly and he, being a veteran shinobi, he could not help but notice that his clothes and long gorgeous mane remained unmoved. He spoke up immediately. "Then why are you a clone?" One of the deer growled, but with a gesture of his hand he calmed it. "You want me to trust you? Then show yourself. Deactivate your clone technique, and then maybe we'll talk."

The man made a point a dangerous one, Takashi remained Intangible only because he did not trust his surroundings, however this could be seen as hostile actions to the others. It was dangerous for him to become solid but disaterous should be remain as he was. As a thief you learn when you roll the dice for a heist it pays off or regrets it but in this gamble currently This scythe would fetch him a penny prettier than some of the best looking women he had seen brothels. What concerned Takashi more than the deer and man was the choice of words. "Maybe" we'll talk odds are the man still had every intention of dealing with him the moment he became solid. Of all the riches he amassed in his Six month time span trust in the wrong person was luxury he couldn't afford.

"Trust is a commodity short in supply and long in depth these days. Don't get me wrong im not saying I don't trust you, I just dont trust the situation here, if twos a compant and three's a crowd then you could imagine what all these deer in number means. You said reveal myself and maybe we'll talk. Maybe is a game of probability meaning 50% you actually decide to talk to me the other 50% you try to turn me into a chew toy you for your deer here". Takashi said intellgiently pointing out the surroundings being far more in disadvantage. So I say lets meet in the middle. You and your deer or anyone here make no moves to threaten me in any way, shape or form. I reveal myself fully and we talk business and lets see if we both can leave the table with more than they came with". I am not one for fighting battles carelessly much less one completely not in my favor". Takashi said hoping somewhere in his response the man could be made to cut a deal. Everyman is said to have a price and for some it is not always money but stock, power, influence or material possession. Among the common assortment he sought to find one to build a nexus for common understanding.

The shinobi spared no moment in gesturing the deer to move backwards. They retreated into the forest with their red eyes, seemingly disappearing from the vicinity. "Just realize that they'll come back if something happens to me." He stood in an unrestrained silence; he felt Takashi out. It was obvious that he meant little harm, if any at all, yet the ninja is deceptive. They are liars, murderers, assassins, heroes, villains. "Why do you want the scythe?"
