Dying Is Easy Living Is Harder

chapter 51

*Naruto and his group were walking further south from where Konoha used to be. Hinata was a little nervous this was her first time outside of Konoha and it wasn't even for an official mission from her Hokage. Haku walked slower until he was next to Hinata*

Haku:so your Hinata hyuga? It's nice to meet you. Anko always boast about you to Zabuza

Hinata:s..she does?

Haku:yes. She keeps saying that by the chunnin exams you'll be able to kick his apprentice ass without a sweat

*Hinata eyes widen as she starts to panic looking between her and anko who was busy annoying her little brother*

Hinata:what?!

Anko:and i stand by my statement!

Naruto:your just being petty since he beat you in a fight and you have yet to get over that

Anko:that is irrelevant!

Naruto:Uhu

*Naruto ignored the angry glare his sister was giving him and looked at Hinata up and down*

Naruto: well looking at you, you seem a lot stronger then Sakura but that's not saying much. I hope you can show why my sister choose you in this mission

Hinata:i.. I'll try my best!

Anko:so who is it where killing?

Tazuna:huh? Oh uh anybody who tries to kill me i guess? You 4 are my body guards against gato

Naruto:so you don't want us to kill him? Because let's say you finish this bridge what's to stop gato from hiring a couple of Shinobi and just destroy what has to be your life work

Tazuna: because that would just bring the might of the daimyo. If he did that even that lazy bastard wouldn't be able to ignore us and would have to act to protect us giving the laws he himself made

Naruto:hm. I've met the daimyo a few times

Tazuna:oh?

Naruto:your right he is very lazy

Tazuna: pfff

*Tazuna chuckled softly at that. A scroll came falling from the sky, Naruto took it and read it in his mind*

Mission:kill a bridge builder named tazuna and his family

From:gato

Reward:100,000 ryo

*Naruto hummed, he bit his thumb and wrote "unavailable", the scroll burned and returned to it's owner*

With gato

*Gato was sitting in his office relaxing with a cup of sake while in front of him he watch as a couple of goze woman sang for him. A scroll appeared in his desk and hi opened it frowning not liking the response*

Gato:that's a shame, i really need to talk to that group about becoming my personal assassin's for reasons like this

*Gato threw the scroll away not taking it personally knowing it was just business, he took a new scroll and started writing, he threw the new scroll to one of his messengers*

Gato:get that to iwagakure, they need to be here by tomorrow at the latest, I'm willing to pay for an A rank hell even an S rank if it means that family is finally dead!

*The messenger trembled at his boss tone but nodded and left running. Gato sighed and returned to his drinking letting the singing calm his nerves but only slightly*

Back to Naruto

*The ride walk to the old man's home was uneventful after the two Shinobi from the beginning, Naruto and his group just walked and had light conversation*
