The Fox Spirit and The God of Yin

Ch.18 Seduction

The night was pitch black, the stars and the full moon were the only things shining brightly. He jumped across the roofs finding his way to the information collector. Dressed in black and covering his face he was able to hide in the shadows. Everyone else should be asleep or lounging around till they have to get back to work again. This was the time that the deities of the heavens wouldn't leave their homes. Their resting time, where they don't have to worry about their eternal work.

Yet in this mansion, the lights were off except one in the study. From the rooftops, he spotted the singular light resonating from the mansion. The informant made his way there with the utmost caution. Leaping over the walls and through the courtyard, he stood in front of the door.

"I'm here." He spoke in a low tone waiting for the collector to respond.

"Come in."

That was all he needed to hear to go in but the informant paused. He peered up at the door. That wasn't the voice of his collector. He looked closely but only saw the aura of his collector but that voice wasn't his.

Someone was trying to imitate him.

He slowly pulled out his dagger and in an instant, he was behind the door right behind the man who was impersonating the collector.

"Who are you?" He questioned lightly pressing the dagger against his neck.

"Can you not recognize your emperor?" The informant backed off immediately. There was no need for confirmation he could tell by his words.

No one in the heavens dared to impersonate one of the emperor's. It was an unspoken rule of sorts. This was seen as the highest act of disrespect with a few other things surpassing it. Without taking a second less the informant went on his knees and bowed.

"Forgive me, your majesty. I was foolish." He didn't dare look up, for he has committed an assault on a heavenly emperor.

"Shisui calm down." He heard another; the voice of his collector. He peeked up at the collector.

His blonde hair was tied back in a small ponytail. Not his usual style but it kept his hair out of his face while working. Shisui put away his dagger and unmasked himself.

"Stop troubling him." The blonde told the emperor.

"Dear Minato, I, your great grandfather, was just assaulted. I thought I was going to die." He said dramatically. Minato rolled his eyes openly showing his detest for his great grandfather.

"I apologize I didn't recognize your aura at all. Forgive my imprudence." The black-haired man lowered his head.

Hashirama eyed him for a moment losing his playful manner. His glare drilling holes into him. Shisui didn't have to look up to tell that he was being picked apart. Being under an emperor's gaze was a nerve-wracking thing even if you've been serving one all your life. After a few moments, he regained his happy demeanor.

"Don't worry about it! If I couldn't hide my presence then what type of emperor would I be. Lift your head." He smiled.

Shisui took a deep breath and hesitantly lifted his head. Minato sighed he couldn't exactly intervene when his great grandfather got like that. He was truly a scary person when he wanted to be.

"Should I..?" Shisui asked the blonde. He wasn't sure if it was okay to tell his collector about the information he collected in front of the emperor. It was about his brother too. Shisui was sure that Hashirama wouldn't be too ecstatic about him giving info about his brother. Minato didn't seem very fazed, just annoyed.

"I would rather him not be here, but go ahead. Tell me."

The informant nodded and began telling the important parts. He told everything of importance that happened around Naruto to Minato. His son's reoccurring nightmares, how his training was going smoothly, the late-night visit to Madara, him asking to meet Sakura, and most entertaining of all, the little scene between Naruto and Madara. Albeit Shisui did his best to make it so the father wouldn't be infuriated about the situation with his son ending up in Madara's lap. He tried to leave out Madara being half-naked, but it was hard to do so since that all happened because of the burns on his abdomen.
