Naruto returned to the hotel with his group a moment later while they waited for nightfall.

"Stay alert to anything that happens," Naruto requested as they organized for the following day.

"Naruto..." Akame approached Naruto.

"Yes?" He looked at her.

"What happened to me?" She asked.

"Your eyes have changed... Who can say this better than you..." He began. "We don't have time now, but soon we can test if you've gotten stronger," he advised.

Akame nodded even though she had many doubts about what was happening, but Naruto would talk more later.

They stayed at the inn for the rest of the night while remaining vigilant to anything, Naruto could feel they were surrounded. But there were only eyes watching them all night long.

"Why are they acting like this?" He couldn't help but ask, curious about who might be hunting them and it seemed to be someone powerful; there were even jonins among their watchers by the strength he was detecting.

However, their watchers did not act during the night, just observing, and soon the next morning arrived. Everyone got up and took some food from the scroll, after all, they hadn't even rented the room and ate in silence without any comment.

It was after a while that they nodded, putting on their masks and preparing to leave, while Naruto took a new blade from Akame's scroll, since he had ruined the last one in the fight against Danzou.

"It must be your hundredth sword in a year..." Kimimaro commented, and Naruto did not disagree; he had been switching weapons all the time due to the fragility they have to keep up with how he uses them, but Naruto was already looking for a blade that could withstand his armament haki which, even though it hardens the blade, wore it out easily.

'If only I could have a supreme grade blade in this world...' he thought, but soon set that thought aside imagining he would find a good solution to his problem.

"Shall we go then?" Akame asked, and Naruto nodded through his mask, and they jumped through the window heading directly to the guild. Upon arriving at the place and passing through the usual security, the atmosphere continued to be hostile to them as they entered.

The man continued cleaning his glasses without caring about them, but Naruto could feel that the man was detailing each of their moves, much more than he usually does.

"Light! Good to see you," the man greeted him. Naruto just nodded.

"Well, as I said yesterday, I have a proposal for you, but first let me ask if the meeting with the client went well?" He asked in a gentle tone.

"Everything went well, we are waiting for him to perform the autopsy on the target's body before receiving the money," Naruto said.

"That's good, I hope he sends the guild's commission," the man spoke. "Now let me put this glass away before we continue to the next venture," he said, moving away from the counter and storing the glass he was cleaning.

"Light... They're all watching us..." Akame approached Naruto while feeling everyone in the guild, as they drank at their tables, watching them from the corner of their eyes, with quite tense looks.

They pretended to be on an ordinary day, but they could see many new faces. Kimimaro approached Naruto. "I know this feeling, they are from Kiri!" he said, and Naruto nodded.
