Got a Secret, Can You Keep It?

Chapter 3

 What was the blonde to do in this split second life or death situation? He was either going to have to find a way out of the truck without being noticed or he was going to have to kill whoever was on the other side of that door. The former would require a pretty elaborate plan but that would also mean that he would have to make sure not to get caught. While the latter would be a good idea, if anything was done irrationally then it would draw unwanted attention and more people to the area. The blonde let a soft sigh escape his lips as he looked around the corner of one of the crates he was hiding behind. Naruto heard the sounds of voices conversing, and crept closer to the doorway but stayed hidden behind the box in front of him.

"Take these to the storage room." He heard the same familiar husky voice say as he tried to catch a glimpse of the male who said that. The other merely nodded as he began to take the crates from the truck and take them to the weaponry storage room. Footsteps were heard walking away from the truck and the sound of the crates being moved filled the area. It was going to come down to kill or be killed, Naruto had no choice now but to kill the person moving the crates if he wanted to remain alive. Dying was not an option for the blonde in this situation, nor was it ever going to be an option for the Uzumaki. To not draw too much attention to himself, he let the crates be removed from the truck and into the weaponry storage. Now it was time for the last crate to be moved, and Naruto was going to be quick to take him out.

The last crate was being pulled forward and away from the blonde, but he was also pushing it forward just a bit to get himself an early start on the execution of the male on the other side of the crate. Once the crate was tilted on the edge of the truck, the blonde pushed it forward more so that the other would struggle to catch it. Once the other was confused as to why the crate was coming out faster than he was moving it, it was too late by then. The crate fell on top of the other male earning a groan from the weight of it, observing his surroundings Naruto made a quick decision, he stepped on the crate and looked down at the struggling person. Nothing was said as it all happened so quickly and the blonde had no time to waste. A dagger was quickly slipped into his fingers and flicked with such force that it pierced the struggling male right in the throat. Strangled gurgles and choking came from the male as his body began to fall limp. To not draw anymore attention to himself, he stepped on his neck smothering his vocal cords so that no noise came out. As he drove the dagger deeper into his throat and crimson liquid seeped out of his wound and on to the concrete ground, he quickly stopped moving and became lifeless. Once the male stopped moving, the blonde ripped the dagger from his throat, and let his blood pool into a puddle around his lifeless body as he looked around and assessed his current situation.

'Now, now, what to do with this mess?' Naruto thought as he looked around and realized that the Tsuki (Luna) organization had left just one person to do the transferring of the weapons to the weaponry storage. "What a shame." The male muttered as he hopped down off of the truck and began looking for somewhere that would lead him to a higher place in the warehouse. Soon his phone started vibrating, he was half expecting a text from Sasuke but knew that he didn't have time for personal situations. He checked it anyway, and noticed that it wasn't Sasuke but instead the leader of Taiyō (Sol). This raised a bit of confusion with the blonde as he answered the phone call.

"This is Uzumaki speaking." The Uzumaki spoke calmly and quietly into the phone.

"What do you think you're doing?!" The voice on the other end of the phone seethed.

"Something that should've been done a long time ago." He retorted nonchalantly.

"This was not an authorized mission by me." The leader spoke as he began to lose his patience with the disobedience he was receiving from the other male.

"It was a mission authorized by me and that's all that I need. I'm doing what you're struggling so hard just to do with a team of four." Naruto said and ended the phone call, putting his phone back in his pocket.

Looking around the storage room that he so desperately wanted to get out of, he came across a vent on the other side of the room. 'Got it.' He thought as he looked around for a stepping stool and found the perfect object.

The crate.

Dragging the wooden crate over to just below where the vent was, he climbed on top of the box and peered through the grates of the metal vent. Nothing that the naked eye could see was in the vents, but because of who the organization was the blonde knew to be extremely cautious. Taking the bloody dagger that was once lodged in the male's throat, he carefully and quietly unscrewed the screws that were holding the vent in place and set it aside. Pulling up into the vent he also knew to be careful and watch for anything else that could've been left in the vents because the warehouse was abandoned. Crawling through the vents, Naruto let out a soft sigh as he used his elbows more than anything to pull himself forward through the vents.

Vague conversations were heard throughout the vents as he continued to crawl through them. He stopped briefly when he heard a couple of guys talking about Taiyō (Sol). And that familiar husky voice was back again. As he peered through the grates, he looked at the group of males that were conversing. One looked like he was old but looked like a mafia boss, the blonde male figured that he was the head of Tsuki (Luna), or at least the second in command. Another looked like he had jet black hair, red eyes and held and emotionless expression, he looked like he was in the same position as Naruto or maybe even higher. And the last of the group was one that raven colored hair that was laying down against his head, but he also had onyx colored eyes. The only problem was the one that held that familiar husky tone of voice the blonde remembered was,

'Sasuke?!'
