The Exchange

He opted to travel alone tonight. Hisashi, the leader of the underground organization Yorudō, was doing the work of an agent. Yes, it would be lowly of him to do so, but this was a crucial meeting, for a rather nice paycheck, so he wanted to make sure that this transaction went smoothly.

He lamented the failure of the Yorudō to obtain the information necessary for them to be rewarded with money from its previous big-money contract, Konohagakure. The objective was the original Akatsuki, but they were too elusive for the Yorudō to uncover any bits of information worth noting. But this time, it was a company contract. A simple economic rivalry, to be more precise.

Hisashi cared little for the reasons for this particular contract, since it did not concern him. In the back alleys of Shukuba Town was the location, and that was where he was headed, only visibly armed with a manila folder. He was indeed armed with other such equipment, though his cloak prevented any of that to be easily seen. He might have been raised as a civilian, but he has the training and skill of a ninja.

There was only one other in the meeting location, as expected. He had a suitcase with him, also as expected. No words were needed, as the other man opened the suitcase to reveal stacked bundles of yen that filled the case's entirety. The manila folder was opened by Hisashi, sliding out the papers within that detailed secrets of the victimized company. The exchanged was made, and both went their own ways.
