Gato smashed a glass into the ground, he had wasted over a million Ryo on Zabuza and Kuro, but both had been taken out of action, KIA is what he presumed them to be…"What a waste of money…" He growled.
"Zabuza...Kuro…" He threw his glasses away, revealing red eyes," I won't let some stupid Konoha Shinobis and Kunoichis destroy my plans for the future…" He looked at Jin and Koji and roared," You two need to defeat them, I'll give you thirty million Ryo if you do so!"
Gato might be rich, but even for him thirty million Ryo was not a small amount, his total balance was around a hundred million Ryo. Practically he was throwing around a quarter and a bit of his total balance to two Jounins.
Jin snorted,"Do you think we want to go kill ourselves?!" The thought of them defeating 3 Jounins by themselves was absurd by itself, not to mention the genins weren't easy to deal with either.
Gato gnashed his teeth," If you do what I tell you I'll give you my whole fortune! I just need the Land Of Wave to make my fortune again… I just need the Konoha shinobis out of my land!" Koji smirked," I can kill them, but are you sure you can get me a hundred million ryo to my doorstep by next week?"
Koji was the strongest jounin Gato had hired, and he took the largest pay, 3 million ryo, however his service was always the best, he had never failed his previous attempts to kill anyone when he was tasked by Gato.
"I can… You just focus on completing your mission, Koji. I'll even help you hide from Uzushio…" Gato said with a mad giggle,"I spent ten years building this shit… I can't afford it falling down now."

Ryu groaned as his mother feed him,"Kaa-chan, I'm not a small kid! I don't need you to feed me!" He moaned out, as Kushina pinched his cheek,"Shut up and just do as I say." She said with a cold expression.
Yamato snickered at the scene, but a glare from Kushina made him quickly cough and get serious again, he didn't want to risk angering the red haired woman, who was feared across the village for her dangerous temper.
Hayate's cough had lessened, as Ryu had finally decided to spare some time to heal his Jounin Instructor. He really appreciated the help, as for the first time in ages, he felt less pressure on his throat when speaking.
He could feel his body becoming more stronger physically.It seems the disease had affected him in more than one way, and he had only noticed it now, that Ryu started healing him, no method had worked on healing him, thus from this one could see how powerful the Wood Element was.
Yugao was sharpening her sword and had a serious look on her face, she felt annoyed that her genin had meet danger while escorting Tazuna to the bridge, but when she heard how Ryu had taken care of 2 Jounin Shinobis, she felt amazed.
It was no wonder Ryu was called a prodigy among prodigies, a 8 years old kid… Defeating jounins? That was unheard of! Others were simply lacking when compared to Ryu. That was just the truth.
"Wood Style...Rinnegan...Mastery over the Basic Affinities… You are indeed a fearsome prodigy… Ryu." Hayate said slowly. Ryu let out a nervous laugh out,"That's pretty funny, Hayate-Sensei."
Kushina's violet orbs looked at his same colored violet eyes, but his mother's eyes contained a hint of worry. " My little dragon… I'm always here if you need support." She said and feed him more food.
"I'm not a little kid anymore, kaa-chan! I'm a genin!" Ryu said with a pout and tried to dodge the food, but ultimately was forced to by the scary face of his mother, no way he was provoking her again.
"You will always be a little kid to me, a kid who needs protection." Kushina ruffled his son's hair, and smiled,"Anyway, the people who dared to hurt my little baby are still alive? WE NEED TO MURDER THEM!" She roared.
Yamato,Hayate and Yugao all sweated, Ken and Yato just chuckled, used to the condition of their teammate and friend. He was always so little and tiny when his mother was around here, it had happened several times.
Hayate decided to intervene,"Kushina-sama, according to the scouts I sent, with my shadow clones, their base is a few good kilometers from the place we currently are. If we go right now we'll arrive in about ten minutes."
"We are leaving for there.. IMMEDIATELY!" Kushina said as she got her stuff ready and slammed the door open, an evil chakra escaping her body,"I feel sad for Gato and the rest… No one deserves to experience Kushina-sama's full wraith." Yamato said with a gulp
~~
Gato… Was not in a good condition. Every single bone of his body was broken, his third leg was… No longer useable, his hair had all been plucked out, and he couldn't even properly speak due to the pain.
He had learned one thing from what just happened,"Kushina Uzumaki in not someone to play with…"
She might no longer be an active kunoichi, however it was undeniable that she was a proper Kage Level Kunoichi, on the same level as Tsunade. Geared up with the Uzumaki Seals, she was incredibly powerful.
Koji walked into his bedroom with a smile,"Where is my payment?" He asked and chuckled. " M...oney?" Gato gritted his teeth, and Koji immediately understood what he meant.
"I'll go defeat all of them right now, but if I don't see the money by my doorstep the next day… you won't be alive to witness the light of the tomorrow, Gato.." Koji said as he lightly touched Gato's forehead.
"I'll show Konoha why Uzushio fears me, the Devil Of Uzushiogakure." Koji chuckled as he lightly,"Jin come and support me, I'll need your lava style to distract the genin team, they are annoying pests." He said with a smile, Jin Terumi chuckled.
It would be a great battle. He could smell it.
