After making it to our room I locked the door and start looking around the room. It's honestly a nice looking room, double beds, all white sheets, and is that... this place has air conditioning no way!

Me and Sarada relaxed in our room for a bit chit chatting about nothing really, we both had agreed to try and relax a bit before getting back into that Atlas business. For some reason we got onto the topic of our old friends and I had mentioned how Sumire was always so nice to me even after the whole Momoshiki business. Sarada had this look of envy on her face that she kept trying to hide, it was so obvious that it almost made me burst out laughing.

"Uh oh, is that a hint of jealousy I sense in you Sarada?" I snicker.

"You wish banana head."

"Oh so you've got jokes now huh, okay then I've got something for you."

I gently pushed Sarada down on the bed as I held myself atop of her. Now I know what you're thinking and yes, just yes I knew exactly what I was doing. But it's not like it was going to go THAT far.

We play fought for a while before she finally gave up and glared up at me.

From my point of view it was heaven. Her gorgeous dark eyes glared into my soul, and her smell... it was amazing. I think I could've gotten stuck in that position forever. Unfortunately I couldn't bask in her beauty for too long as there was a loud knock at the door.

"Damnit," I mumbled as I rolled out of the bed.

I walked over and looked through the peep hole, it was that guy from earlier that tried running us off at the gate.

"What do you want!?" I shout from behind the door while signaling Sarada to get up.

"Boruto Uzumaki!" The man exclaimed.

I was shocked, how the hell does this guy know me. "Heh, I don't know who it is you're talking about!"

"Cmon kid it ain't really a secret, the blond hair, the whiskers, I just put two and two together!"

"Okay so let's say I am Boruto Uzumaki, why do you care?!"

"I don't really, just figured you wouldn't wanna talk if I didn't have some leverage, now would you let me in already kid!"

I suppose i can't just let him leave, might as well hear him out. I opened the door letting the hooded man pass by and shutting it behind him.

He scanned the room for a second eventually spotting Sarada.

"Oh, well excuse me I hope I didn't *Ahem* interrupt anything."

Oh my god, he probably thinks... whatever.

"No you didn't, now sit," I order, pointing at the chair in the corner. "Well, you know who I am guy, so how about you ditch the hood and let me see your face."

"Fine then, I have nothing to hide"

He removed the hood, and I don't know what I expected but gawd damn. I'm not really on that side of the fence but this guy was supermodel levels of handsome. He had dirty blond hair, a mustache, and eyes so blue they almost looked fake.

"Holy shit your eyes are really blue," Sarada asserted.

Her chin was practically on the floor and I couldn't even be jealous since mines was too.

"Ahem, anyways guy what's your name?" I ask

"Just call me Knuckle, it's sort of a nickname my boys came up with"

"Okay Knuckle, what is it you want?"

"To invite you, both of you"

"Invite us to what exactly?"

"The Twilight Collective."

The who-huh collective?... sounds sketchy as hell. But you know what else it sounds like "Ka-ching!" Where there's illegal business, there's cash.

"Let me stop you right there... we're in!"

"You don't even know what it is I'm inviting you to..."

"I don't care, I'm in"

You could practically see the dollar signs in my eyes. Sarada saw I was a bit blinded by the potential gold mine so she took over for me.

"Excuse Boruto he's a bit impulsive, please explain what it is EXACTLY your inviting us to"

"The Twilight Collective is my crew, and one of the many crime syndicates here in Hanzai," Knuckle continued, "you see, we're planning a heist on the auction house."

"Auction house? But this town is way too small for an auction from what I've seen."

"Not here, in Kirigakure"

"The hidden mist huh, haven't been there in ages"

"Oh so you've seen it, then you know that the place is filled with Jonin who'd tear our little group apart if we layed a finger on a single jewel"

"Yup, and so I assume that's why you came to us."

"You said you're looking for work, well I'm here to employ the both of you."

"It's tempting but I think I'd like to talk it over with my partner first"

"That's fine," Knuckle said as he stood up, "offer expires at midnight"

He handed Sarada a piece of paper, put his hood back on then left the room.

Hehe, I can just smell the money now.
