ASSASSINATION
Raiga appeared on the rooftop of the mansion. He slowly crept into the mansion, crouching like a lizard and sticking through walls. He went near a window stealthily and opened it from the outside using a wire to unlock it.
When he went inside from the window, he stick to the walls with his back touching it. He stayed on the dark corners of the mansion where light from the torches couldn't reach when the guards were passing by.
He slowly crept near what I could assume as the mansion's master bedroom. Inside the room, I can see the chakra signature of tree people sleeping. I can tell they are sleeping because of the movement of their chakra which was peaceful.
I don't really feel comfortable doing this spy thingy. This make me feel like I am a pervert.
A scene of Jiraya came into my mind where he bleeds out from his nose like a fountain, surrounded by Naruto's henge jutsu. I shook my head in amusement, then focused back to the mansion.
I saw Raiga slowly moving closer to the bed and took out a kunai silently from his ninja pouch. When he arrived near the three sleeping people, he slashed three times at their throats silently killing them. Then without looking back, he darted to the window and fled to the forest at the back of the mansion and followed by the guards who was alerted in the mansion. Few people checked the room and after noticing that the person was already dead, they followed the traces of Raiga in pursuit. Soon, I couldn't sense them anymore so i busied myself with practicing.
Raiga returned to the inn after an hour. He probably did this to lead away his pursuers. I noticed that he was wounded and his chakra in half full and the flow was chaotic. It must have been a difficult fight. But he won in the end. That was about 15 fREAking shinobis and he soloed it, such strength!
"When can I have that ability? So envious!" I sighed to myself and decided to increase my training intensity.
The next morning, I did my yoga and meditation, I cleaned myself and went to work. On my way, some people were in groups talking. When I focused my hearing to them, I realized that they were talking about what happened to the mansion last night. I learned that the one assassinated was a merchant, selling herbs and other things. It was also rumored that he is selling weapons to other nations illegally.
'No wonder he was assassinated last night.' I shrugged and went on my way. I arrived at the shop early in the morning and saw traces of anxiety in grandma Sho's eyes and was in a daze.
I can feel that she is worried about something without activating my dojutsu. She must be thinking about what happened to the merchant last night. I came to her and greeted her, which brought her back from her daze.
She looked at me and said good morning, she served me a slightly sweet and spicy curry because she knows I can't handle too much chili. I am not like Rock Lee and Might Guy who like to eat hot and spicy dishes.
After eating, I thanked her and I asked her in concern what she was worrying about but she just smiled and told me not to worry and she went back to the kitchen.
I looked at her back for a moment then shrugged, and I went back to work. I invented a new chakra practice for myself while working because I was board and that is by applying chakra to my limbs and letting trash stick to them. At first it was difficult because they are not as weightless as the leaves, but over time I got the hang of it. I also apply it on the food trays so it won't fall when I deliver them to the customer's table. I almost apply chakra control in my every move so I won't waste my time idling, because every minute counts.
In the afternoon, I said my goodbye and went home. On the way, I was very careful and chose the road with many people on the way back. I don't want to meet him again, fortunately I didn't saw him. When I arrive at home, I activated my yureigan and looked in the direction of the inn where Raiga was staying at. I notice that he was not there and probably returned already to kirigakure.
