My Journey with the Copy Ninja

Chapter 13

You pressed the cool glass against your lips. The taste of sake slightly burning the back of your throat as you sipped on it.

Your body leaned against the counter as you waited patiently for the Lord to arrive. Or at least you hoped he'd come here. A few men have already approached you in attempt to charm you into their bed. But after many failed advances they finally got the hint.

"Any sign of him?" Sasuke asked through the small earpiece that was covered by a clump of your hair.

"Nope. Not yet." You said evenly, but low enough where only they could hear.

The bell to the front of the restaurant rang through the air. Small talk and conversations stopping abruptly as the villagers stared towards the door. Six men adorned with heavy armor shuffled inside. And right behind them stood what you can assume is the Lord.

Your brows knitted together in confusion as you took him in. He was much younger than you anticipated. When thinking about what this man looked like you imagined an older, scruffy, and brooding male. But this was not expected.

He stood tall in the doorway. Wide muscular arms cascading from his broad shoulders. There was no doubt the rest of his body matched that of what you could already see.

Dark chocolate hair sat in a ponytail at the base of his neck. Long bangs framed the side of his face.

He was undoubtably attractive. But looks did not make up for the terrible things he's done.

"Got him." You mumbled to your team lowly.

Sasuke and Kakashi sat perched on the roof across from the restaurant. Their position was well hidden by the different signs that were placed on top of the buildings.

Naruto and Sakura sat in a booth at the other side of the restaurant eating a bowl of ramen. So far no one paid any attention to the new faces in the village. But the ones that did said nothing and continued on.

You kept your eyes trained forward as you sipped on the drink in your hand. But out of your peripheral  vision you could see the Lord scamming the room. Conversations now resuming as normal.

Once he spotted you he studied your figure. A small half-smirk forming on the corners of his lips.

He confidently walked in your direction and took the seat beside you. Glancing at the drink in your hand.

"I'll take some scotch. And another shot of sake for the lady." He informed the bartender.

His voice is even attractive. You rolled your eyes internally.

You peeked at him through your full lashes then returned your gaze to the area in front of you. The new glass placed in front of you only moments later.

After downing the remaining contents of your current glass you picked up the new one. Twisting the clear object in your fingers tenderly as you looked at it.

"So, come here often?" He shifted his body to face you. Resting his head against the back of his hand.

"Nope. Just passing through." You said coyly.

One of his eyebrows raised in response as he continued to smirk.

"And where might you be going?"

You took another sip of your sake. "Nowhere and everywhere entirely." Your voice came out much more alluring this time. The alcohol finally starting to loosen you up.

"So much mystery." He laughed.

You only shrugged and continued drinking. Eyeing Naruto and Sakura discreetly as they were doing the same to you.
