Three week later
Evening descended on Tanzaku, and Sam walked through the deserted streets. His dark blue kimono with thin stripes reached his knees and looked very expensive. Over it, he wore a blue haori with white trim. On his feet were light brown sandals with the same stripes as on the kimono. Sam walked slowly, taking his time and carefully observing his surroundings. The scenery of the houses seemed to come alive in the soft glow of streetlights. Inhaling the fresh evening air, he stopped in front of a large guest house. From inside, laughter, music, and merriment spilled out into the street.
Then Sam looked around and, making sure no one was watching, formed hand seals and quietly said: Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu. Instantly, ten beautiful girls appeared behind him, each unique - different hair, clothes, and faces.
Sam began to walk, and his clones followed him. He approached the door and knocked. Hearing approaching footsteps, Sam's serious face transformed into that of a jester in just a few seconds. The door was opened by a yellow-haired guy. Seeing Sam, he smiled, clapped him on the shoulder, and said: You're late, Nao! Ha-ha-ha! No hard feelings, but we started celebrating your promotion without you, he-he-he, - he said, scratching his head a little.
Sam smiled and replied: No worries, I arrived just in time. - Then Kurosuchi noticed the girls behind Sam. His jaw practically dropped, and he even started drooling.
Kurosuchi exclaimed: Wow, incredible beauties! I knew your goods were top quality! - He stepped aside to let Sam and his ten girls in.
Ascending to the second floor, Sam saw more than fifty people celebrating and consuming large amounts of alcohol. The main figure among them, a middle-aged man with slight graying at the temples, smirked as he noticed Sam.
- Hey, Nao! Finally, you arrived and brought your goods after three weeks? Ha-ha! We'll talk about the women later, but now let's discuss your promotion! - he said, raising a cup of drink. Cheers erupted in the hall, and the others raised their glasses in agreement.
Sam responded with a slight smile: Of course, let's discuss that. Thank you for the warm welcome!
Sam smiled from ear to ear: Indeed, I've risen so much in these three weeks thanks to you, - he said, bowing at a 90-degree angle. Slowly straightening up, he snapped his fingers, and each of his clones sat next to the gang leaders.
Yes, these were gang leaders. Many had come to personally congratulate Sam on his promotion because, in three weeks, he had done much for the most important of them. Sam had helped the chief, Chi Sai, who had control over Tanzaku Town, and had also helped take control of other towns and villages. Thanks to this, the income of these people had increased by 50%. Of course, Sam understood that his actions caused suffering to the innocent civilians who could barely feed themselves and their children, living on the brink of starvation due to the extortion from local residents. But this helped to unite all the gangs and gather them in one place.
Chi Sai, raising his glass, loudly exclaimed: To Nao! To our success!
All the guests supported him, raising their glasses and shouting words of encouragement. Sam watched this with a slight smile.
Chi said: Nao, you're a true master of your craft, - one of the gang leaders said, looking at Sam with gratitude: You've taken our business to a new level.
Sam nodded: I'm glad I could help. But there's still much work ahead. Let's enjoy this moment because tomorrow brings new victories, - Sam laughed somewhat uncertainly.
Laughter and conversation filled the hall, creating an atmosphere of joy and unity.
At least, that's what everyone thought…
Of course, Sam had done everything for a good cause.
Meanwhile, each clone sat beside the gang leaders and began serving them, pouring strong alcohol into their glasses and tolerating minor advances without letting anyone go too far.
The most beautiful clone, with an incredibly beautiful face, pale skin, violet eyes, perfect facial features, a neat straight nose, and naturally colored plump lips with a defined contour, had smooth and soft skin. She sat next to Chi Sai and, while pouring him alcohol, quietly and slowly said in an incredibly pleasant voice:
Sam's Clone: It's not appropriate to turn such a pleasant establishment into a brothel. Can you restrain your dogs? - she smiled deliberately.
The poor man's heart raced, and his cheeks flushed. Clenching his fist, he replied: You're right. - Then Chi stood up from his seat, and everyone fell silent, waiting for his words or orders. No one moved, for Chi had authority among all present.
Chi: Listen up, everyone! - he began loudly: Gang leaders, you should restrain your urges. This place is not a brothel. After the celebration, we will proceed to more serious discussions. - Many listened, while some disliked it, but they all had to restrain themselves and not act out.
The leaders nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere in the hall changed. The tension eased, and conversations and laughter resumed.
Meanwhile, Sam stood in the same place and then said in a clear voice: I have a very expensive and incredible gift for the esteemed guests who have come from afar for me.
Sam clapped his hands, and a man with yellow hair and a wide grin entered the hall. He too had benefited from his cooperation with Sam and even got a promotion. Thanks to Sam, he brought in a serving cart fully loaded with wine and glasses.
Then Sam nodded to the head of all the gangs, and Chi, seeing Sam's smile, nodded appreciatively in return.
These wines were intended for everyone, as there was enough to fill the glasses of all present. Sam watched as everyone began to drink the sweet wine, and then his expression changed in an instant.
Sam instantly removed the grin from his face, his expression becoming serious, and his eyes filled with contempt for everyone present. He turned and started walking toward the entrance door to the second floor.
Chi, naturally noticing this, called out with a laugh that filled the hall: Hey, Sam, do you have something else prepared for us? - he said, laughing merrily.
Sam stopped and, turning around, replied: Of course, have I ever disappointed you with surprises? - With these words, he slowly approached the door to the second floor and locked it.
Meanwhile, the white-haired woman of stunning beauty gently took Chi by the chin and turned his head toward her. Looking at her ample chest, he blushed again and met her deep violet eyes. At that moment, he felt a sharp dagger pierce his throat.
The woman continued to stab repeatedly. Suddenly, all the girls who were clones drew daggers and began attacking the gang leaders, stabbing their throats, stomachs, and hearts.
The subordinates noticed the carnage and tried to get up, but immediately began coughing up blood. Some started vomiting blood, while others bled from their eyes, noses, and mouths.
The hall filled with panic and screams. Sam stood by the door, watching the chaos with a cold expression. He knew this moment would be pivotal in his plans.
Sam: Chi, thank you for gathering all the gang leaders, - he said quietly, looking at the dying leader.
Sam surveyed the hall, where the slaughter continued.
Those who hadn't drunk the sweet wine brought by Sam began to die by his sword. Sam pursued and killed everyone in the hall. Then he noticed the shocked face of his yellow-haired friend, Kurosuchi, who was slowly sinking to the ground in fear.
Sam exuded such a terrifying aura that his friend began to choke with terror. Approaching him, Sam smiled and said: Your death will be painless. - With these words, he swung his sword and severed his throat. Ensuring that everyone in the hall was dead, Sam dispersed the clones. He looked around the blood-soaked room.
Sam: Let's start the cleanup, - he said, putting on white gloves.
After an hour and a half...
The sun had long since set, and the streets were shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by the dim light from houses and street lamps. Two figures walked along the street; one held a bottle of strong sake, while the other, smaller one, helped her stay on her feet.
Tsunade, easily recognizable by her blonde hair, short stature, and... large breasts, was completely drunk. Holding the bottle, she addressed her student Shizune: You know, Shizune, a thought just came to me... We planned to stay in this city for only three days... So why have we stayed here for three weeks? - She hiccuped, struggling to form words.
Shizune, trying to support her teacher, replied: I've been thinking the same, but I don't understand why this is happening. It's clearly not a genjutsu.
Tsunade smirked and continued: You know, Shizune, I mentioned the tremor in my body from some aura. It probably all started from that. I think it's some kind of ninjutsu.
They were passing a large building when Tsunade suddenly stopped and widened her eyes: Hey, Shizune, do you smell that? - she said, looking around.
Shizune tensed up: It's... the smell of blood!
Tsunade's mind cleared with incredible speed, and she looked at the building with a sign: [Guest House].
*Boom*
A door on the second floor burst open, blowing much of the wall to pieces, and they stormed inside.
Seeing the horror within, Tsunade felt dizzy, and her body began to tremble in fear. Shizune, her student, couldn't take it and fell to her knees, covering her mouth to suppress the urge to vomit.
Sam had managed to clean up only a quarter of the mess on the second floor. He looked at Tsunade with surprise.
Sam: Luckily, the event ended a minute ago, - he thought: otherwise all these killings would have been in vain. Points would have been deducted for failure.
Sam: Hi, take part in the cleaning? ha-ha-ha - Sam laughed, smiling, looking into Tsunade's eyes. Said Sam throwing his mop to the floor, Sam stared at Tsunade and her student. Tsunade had been through a lot, but she had never seen such horror before. She instantly appeared next to Sam and delivered such a powerful blow that the wind shattered all the windows in the wall behind Sam. He couldn't react as he had in the fight with Orochimaru—these Sannin were too fast.
Sam's body disappeared in a cloud of smoke, and Tsunade roared in fury: A clone? - But even her body couldn't handle it when she got too close to the corpses gathered in one place. The sight and smell of all those people turned her stomach, and she recoiled.
The elegant banquet hall, usually decorated in a classical style, had turned into chaos. Round tables covered with white cloths were stained with blood. The soft chairs surrounding them lay haphazardly on the floor, but the ceiling, adorned with hanging lights, remained untouched.
Meanwhile, another clone suddenly looked back at the building that seemed so far away. Standing on a rooftop, he realized the clone had been destroyed. Sam didn't care about the uncleaned mess, he turned back in the direction he needed and looked down. Sam jumped, his hair fluttering as he fell from the tall building, and when he landed, a cloud of dust rose.
In a dark, narrow alley, he moved deeper into the street and saw a locked door. Taking a key from his pocket, he unlocked it and entered, descending the stairs and opening a door in the wall on the left.
Before Sam was a luxurious Japanese café with a wooden bar counter lined with bottles and glasses. Behind the counter stood black bar stools, and shelves held dishes and bottles. Posters of women adorned the walls, and ceiling lamps shone constantly.
Turning his gaze to the left, Sam saw numerous doors leading to rooms. He opened one of them and saw ten beautiful girls sitting on a bed.
Sam: You're released, - he said and headed to the bar counter, taking all the money.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Sam watched the girls leave the room. Approaching one of them, he handed over a large sum of money, over half a million ryo.
Sam: This will last you a long time, - he said, and his body dissolved into a puff of smoke.
Sam's real body had long since left the town of Tanzaku, and now he was already seeing the walls of the city he had been so eager to escape. The walls of the Hidden Leaf Village! At midnight, Sam appeared on the head of the First Hokage and looked at the back of a hooded figure gazing at the nighttime view of Konoha.
Obito: You're late! - said a rough voice. Slowly turning around, he revealed his white spiral face of Zetsu, with a single hole for an eye.
Sam: We finally meet, Obito Uchiha! - Sam smiled.
