"He doesn't even care about disguising himself!" Someone whispered.
"Lunatic"
"Is he the new rising star of Konoha?" Someone exclaimed.
"Rising star? Doubt that"
"He is just another crazy bastard, just ignore him unless you want to get in trouble, he doesn't have the best of reputations!"
While people made way for him, his figure with iron like muscles stood out like a sore thumb as he walked among the crowd and heard all these but he ignored all the gossips, he didn't even care to put on a mask like all the people here and just looked around with his narrowed eyes to read the disgusting Auras of the information brokers who had shops and stalls littering everywhere.
It didn't take long for him to finally come across an Aura that was the least tainted with filth than the other ones at the end of the district in an alley, and he immediately went to check it out.
"Green snake infos" Garou muttered the name of the small sign board with a guy no older than 16 sleeping behind his desk and snoring without care.
*Slap!* *Bam!*
"Owwww who tf?!!"
Garou slapped the guy in the face strongly which made the guy fall from his chair on the dirty floor and cry out in pain while rubbing his cheek.
"I want information" Garou said while looking down at the overly skinny guy with dirty black hair, green eyes, and a face that slightly resembled a snake.
"And who the hel....Hehehe I WILL gladly give you whatever mr. sir costumer!!" The guy was about to lash out but a glance at Garou was all it needed to come back to his senses and immediately stood up like a good soldier with sweat running down his face.
"Good, seems you are a sensible guy, don't waste my time, got it?" Garou said with a scary grin while patting the fragile guy's shoulder who winced in pain but didn't dare to flinch and just nodded.
"W-what kind of information do you want sir king costumer?!" The guy asked nervously while rubbing his hands.
Garou sat on the dude's chair, and put his legs on the desk before him, then started to humm for a few moments before looking intensely at the guy who flinched for a moment "I want to fight. The country is big and I don't know where to go to find people to fight, so tell me anything you know!" Garou said with a dissatisfied expression.
The guy looked intently at Garou and thought for sometime then spoke "Mr. Sir monarch king costumer, if you are looking for people to fight then you can try the fighting arena here in the underworld where there are many who fight there for either money, reputation or freedom..."
Garou looked at the guy in boredom "The fighting arena is near this place right?" He said as he pointed south.
"Yes monarch of the dea-"
"There ain't anyone strong there!" Garou said in slight annoyance.
"Pardon?!"
"I can sense the people there. All of them are weak ass men who will die with just a sneeze. I want strong people to fight, tell me where to find them." Garou said in indifference.
"..."
The guy went into silence as he nervously thought about what this lunatic said 'Sensing the strength of people from this far away? That's a whole 3 miles! Is he playing with me or what? But if it's true then this guy is the real deal! But what should I do now? There are not many strong people around here. As a matter of fact, only the Samurai Hatamoto is an S-rank powerhouse in maybe the whole country who is not a ninja, adn he isn't somebody who you could fight just because you want to. Damn! How do I go about this?!' The guy thought really fast then came up with something and looked at that blood shot eye that sent chills down his spine.
"Mr sir behemoth king of kings, I don't seem to know anyone who could be as strong as you except for the Samurai Hatamoto who is currently the guardian of the capital!" The guy said vigilantly.
"Hmmm, is that all the information you have? Fuck! I already know that, tell me something useful!" Garou said in a harsher tone which made the guy get pale as he immediately began to go through anything he could find for this lunatic to be satisfied.
"..."
He thought and thought for some time under the glare of the crazy bastard until he came up with an idea that may satisfy him.
He hesitantly but desperately reached for his desk that had Garou's legs resting on and after rummaging through some documents he finally took out a map.
"What's this?" Garou asked in disinterest.
"S-sir dragon among men, I will indicate everywhere in the fire country that may happen to interest you and give you what you want! Is that ok with you?" The guy nervously asked and Garou just waved his hand for him to continue.
The guy quickly marked many places on the map and all were places from the fire country then a few moments later, he gave the map to Garou who looked at the marked places with a raised eyebrow.
"That's all I know in all of fire country where you could find people to satiate your hunger for battle. Bandits, ninjas who have retired, some rogue samurais who are also in retire, Yakuza, few Mafia members or lords and many more! You can find them around the places I marked, it's not %100 accurate but all those people were last seen there and some are always there and never moved places!" The guy explained in slight excitement with his hands rubbing but the dissatisfied expression on Garou made him uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth to hit the nail in the coffin with his expression going solemn.
"A-and if...you are interested in WAR, I can tell you where to go!" The guy said which catched Garou's attention slightly which was enough reaction for the guy to go on.
"The whole world might be in peace right now. Even though there may be skirmishes and small battles between the ninja villages take place around the borders of the countries, but most ignore the fact that it's not only the ninjas who have enmities and are hostile with each other!" The guy went on and Garou's attention was already grabbed.
"Village lords, city lords, and whole countries are fighting and having wars non-stop everywhere!" The guy said.
"Interesting, keep going" Garou said with curiosity.
"Most countries right now are at peace..." The guy stopped and looked at the already dissatisfied expression of Garou who heard him "But!... there is one country that has a civil war going on since the treaty between the ninja villages signed and that country is, The Land Of Iron!" The guy finished with a serious face, believing for sure he did give the crazy bastard an information he could be satisfied with
"The land of Samurais?! Why the hell are those guys fighting amongst themselves anyways? weren't they always following the Shogun as always? What happened?" Garou asked with a hand on his chin.
Delighted that Garou finally made an expression except being scary, snake guy started his info dump."There are two factions currently who are actively in war. The first faction, who is currently the dominant faction which is obviously the Shogun's faction. And the second faction is the Khan faction. The Khan became trouble for the Shogun after someone by the name Jonguz Khan united every tribe across the land of iron and some outside of it into one single Khan army that's threatening to swallow the whole Land of Iron,"
Hearing what was happening, Garou was slightly surprised that some of the events happening in the land of Iron right now is uncannily similar to the planet Earth's history.
'Was this civil war the reason the future land of Iron become so weak? It must be the reason because maybe the Shogun dies in this civil war with this Genghis Khan wannabe, and all the Damiyo's of the powerful nations take this as an opportunity to separate themselves from the Land of Iron's decades of iron grip rule.' Garou thought in suspicion.
"Anything else?" Garou asked.
"Y-yes actually. This civil war has made the Samurais across the world a little agitated and now, there are talks among the Samurais to go back to their holy land and fight for the country. The only thing holding them back is the infamous reputation of the current Shogun who is known for being a tyrant. Though, the love of the land is more important for these Samurais than the Shogun. The Shogun can be changed somehow, but the land when lost, it will be lost forever. That's why soon, countless Samurais will mass return to their lands, which is a huge problem..." snake dude explained with the last part muttering to himself.
And here goes confirming his suspicions. This civil war will change the power system of the whole world. The area of influence and authority of Samurais will decrease a lot, the Shogun will die, and the powerful Damiyos will not let another Shogun to rise. The Damiyos will become the very Elites of this world, dependence on Samurais will decrease, dependence on ninjas and questionable forces of the underworld will increase, crime rates will increase drastically, and last but not least and the most important part...
The second shinobi world war starts.
From there on, after the fall of the great age of Samurais, the ninjas will become even more arrogant and greedy than they already are! They won't give face to the ruling authorities anymore and will only treat the Damiyos as cash cows or puppies to give missions for their cute little genins.
Truly, even though Garou disdained the global ruling system of now, but he had to admit that this system was by far so much better than whatever the fucking abomination the ninjas will turn the system into.
And this doesn't sit quite well with him, he must do something, he can't let the Shogun system perish. He needs to immediately go to the land of Iron and fuck it up in some way that will at least the ruling system survives.
He ain't a hero for sure, but everybody need to play some games once in a while, what better way than starting a slaughter?
He also hates ninjas! You literally can smell their disgusting black Aura from a mile away.
Well, except for his wifey who is so cute!
Damn he misses Tsunade already!
.
Anyways, Garou took out a stack of bills hidden in his underwear and threw it a the snake guy who catched the money nervously with a mix of disgust.
"You better find a better job, if not for giving this information, your head would already be rolling." Garou said in a low voice with his eyes narrowing at the guy who went as pale as a sheet.
"The Heavenly demon of the divine heavenly demonic lord of mysteri-"
"Stop with that disgusting ass licking! Have some digni-?!!!" Garou interrupted the cowtowing bastard and immediately turned towards the North where an event was going on that made him surprised.
*BOOOOMM!!!*
Garou immediately vanished from his place and went on top the roof of a building and looked at the far distance with a grin as he saw a long, golden, and red staff that radiated a golden energy was stretched miles into the sky hitting the rocky ceiling of the underworld city making some huge rocks fall to ground.
"Caesar, you crazy bastard!" Garou said under his breath with a maniacal grin.
The End
