Chapter 10
When their cart came near the gates of the capital, two guards came forth one of them fist bumped his red samurai armor "state your business" he said
Akira looked at the guard and gave him their papers "Akira Ryu" he said "merchant from konoha" he finished with a cheery voice
The guard checked the papers, as the second one asked "and the boy?"
"he is my assistant Naruto Uzumaki "
The guard nodded muttering something that Naruto thought was" damn ninjas can't help a child instead of making him work "
Then the guard noticed the injured shinobi" and him? "he asked with suspicion in his voice.
Kakashi smiled an eye smile" Kakashi Hatake i am a guard for them "he said
The guard seamed to ease a bit" stay out of trouble shinobi, wewe watching you "he said his voice emotionless.
Kakashi just nodded and they entered the capital.
It was a big city, alot of big houses, some villas and compounds people were going doing their business, children were playing in the streets, carts animals tens of shops and noise so much noise.
Naruto was sitting his eyes wide speechless "wow! So many people and i thought konoha was big, but compared to that it's probably just insignificant village without the shinobi, if to compare the number of people its like the different in the amount of noodles in a kage sized ramen and a child size, although there are more people hear then noodles in a kage serving "he said his mouth watering and his imagination showed him a ramen ball the size of the capital and alot of noodles walking there.
Akira looked amused" whewhen will you mature "he said with fake annoyance, but a wide smile showed his Bluff.
Kakashi was trying not to give up to his pain but every stop and bump of the cart made him cry in pain.
Akira spoke" now we will go to an hotel later you will stay with Kakashi till I will bring a doctor "
Kakashi looked at Akira" a regular doctor you have to be kidding me do you really believe he can help? " he asked
Akira frowned" don't underestimate them, maybe they don't use Chakra but they are good and can kill a shinobi under their care easily, but no there is a medical nin around here giving his service to shinobi, as a lot of doctors refuse to help them unless it's a life and death situation, and the general public doesn't go to him as he is a nin. "he finished
Naruto yawned" common let's get going i am tired "he yawned again
Akira chuckled" OK Naruto we are going now to the hotel "he said" i am a regular there come on "
They took Kakashi and went to the hotel in the reception Akira paid and they went up to their room. They laid Kakashi on the bed and Akira left the room towards one of the
Neighborhoods, it wasn't as grand as the central neighborhood but it had some nice houses. The children were playing around, he went into a side alley and turned left, he was now standing in front of a nice door made of mahogany. He knocked on the door and a man with white hair opened it, he motioned him to come in, "you know i don't regularly have a civilian costumers, so what disturbe you" he asked
Akira smiled" tea please "
The man smiled and went to make the tea
Akira looked around the room it was a nice room with three doors including the one he came through, the walls were painted in a nice red and gold color with nice cream colored curtains, in the middle of the room was one mahogany made table around it were two couches and a chair there was a fire roaring in the heart
The doctor came back with twtwo tea cups, they started to chat.
After several minutes
Akira sow that something was bothering the doctor, "sorry doc but is there something bothering you?" he asked
The doctor looked surprised "is it that obvious?" he wondered
"not really but as a trained nin i can see your body twitching slightly and the look in your eye's showing that something bothering you "
" ah! You are a shinobi please forgive me i just didn't see any headband so i assumed you're a civilian "he said apologetically
A chuckle escaped Akiras mouth" it's ok i don't mind "he said" now what is it bothering you "?
The doctor sighd" well you see the local gangs here making me some problems they want ransom 'defense fee' thay call it, I am not young anymore so i can't defend myself properly they bother me even threatened me " he sighd again" but i doubt you came here to listen to old man's problems so tell me why are you here? "
" my friend a shinobi is injured i need you to help him in payment we can help you with those thugs "he said curtly" will you agree? " 'what else can you give me on them"?
The man nodded eagerly" of course, first the gang leader has long hair usually in a ponytail he is a redhead with a wrinkle near his nose, second they have drug dealings, now show me were your friend is "he said. And both of them left the house

Konoha
In the academy
A class was in session and the chunnin was exhausted, he didn't even had enough energy to wake Shikimaru or tell Chouchi to stop munching in the middle of the lesson.
He looked then at Hinata and sighed her eyes were cold although not as much as Sase, he didn't know what to do, but as his duty demands he said "Shikimaru wake up
Shikimaru looked up lazily "troublesome were is Naruto when he is hear only he gets in troubles" he lazily thought.
He looked to his write and sow Ino and Sakura looking at Sasuke "troublesome women" he said.
Hokage tower
Danzo was seated in front of Hiruzen "we tipd iwa off they weren't happy but they gaw us interesting info, seems one of their members left and joined the Akatsuki, they growing in power Hiruzen, what do we know of there goal? " he asked
The hokage took a sip of his pipe "not to much Itachi was unable to provide us with enough info as of yet i hope we will get the know, after all Orochimaru is one of them" he concluded.
"oh well can't be helped right "said Danzo
" indeed good job " he looked at Danzo " listen from all this Intel giving us a picture , kumo is expanding their forces in another words war so we will need every last shinobi ready "he finished
Danzo nodded, stood up and curtly bowed, then he left the room
Capital
After they came back he told Naruto they will have to do some recon mission and later to go to the police but first he wants to meet an old friend in the palace .
So together they went on the main road throughout the market, till they stood in front of the palace. It was breathtaking it had twelve towers arranged in a Dimond formation on the palace who by itself was made in a Dimond formation made of marble and heavy stone with embroidery of gold.
They came near the gates, Akira came close to the guards "hello there fine sentries, can i ask you to call Jiriku sama please, tell him that Akira asked to see him. After several minutes a man with a monls clothes and bold head came through" Akira is that you!,"he said "so long didn't see you what are you doing today still travel around?" he asked with a smile
Akira shaked his head "no not anymore old friend what do you say we will meet tonight at my hotel "
Chiriku thought for a moment "i don't see why not I'll be there" he answered and with a goodbye went back to the palace
After that Akira turned to Naruto "listen the doctor that helps Kakashi right now needs our help, thugs are after him our mission is to shadow them learn where is their hq and find the drugs after that we should go to the guards station and show them where are the drugs capish? ''
Naruto nodded eagerly
"good follow my lead stay in the shadows and don't make a noise "
" got it "said Naruto
They went to the same part of town where the doctor lives.
After they came there they blended with the shadows going in the side walks and back alleys. They were scanning the perimeter for the man, Akiras trained eye caught him first" here he us he matches the description "he said
The man was going out of a bar he was big man with quite a mass of muscles.
They tailed him to the hq without rising any suspicion. They waited till he went in after that they surveyed the building and found a side window they came close and checked if anyone sees them after confirming that indeed no one sow them they hid around the corner of a nearby building.
They waited for around forty minutes till they sow evidence of drugs a group of people went inside with packages.
That was all what Akira needed he motioned to Naruto and they both left the area quickly.
From there they went to the nearby guard post and gave the information to the guards, after around thirty minutes a guard group went to the coordination.
Akira and Naruto went back to the hotel Naruto was exhausted.
When they came in Kakashi was seated on the bed with the doctor seating near him.
"your friend will be ok just some rest and change the bandages once a day and he will be like new " he said with a satisfied smile
Akira smiled back" thanks a lot doctor, we held our end of the bargain the guards went to the gangs hq " he said with a smirk
Naruto smiled to" that's was awesome like a real recon dattebayo! "
The doctors face lit up" thank you so much next time you are in the capital come visit me"
"Of course " they all answered
He then left after thanks from Akira Chiriku and a very loud "thanks dattebayo" from Naruto.
It was quite late and Naruto went to sleep when Chiriku knocked on the door.
Akira smiled and invited him in motioning to the table in the room.
Akira and Chiriku set down for a talk "so" said the later "what are you up to now and who is the boy" he asked
At the mention of the boy Akira smiled looked towards the bed where said blonde was sleeping "today i am a citizen of konoha though still a merchant this boy however is now my entire life he is the grandson of my sister i train him to be a strong and skilled shinobi" he said with a bit of happiness in his voice.
Chiriku smiled "it's good to see you so alive again Akira" .
After another hour of chatting they bid Farwell to each other and Chiriku left.
The day after
Naruto woke up and sow Kakashi lying in bed and reading his orange book, Akira was drinking tea near the table
When he sow Naruto awake "good morning sleeping Beauty it's time to get up, today we will buy all the supplies we need, common we are leaving in an hour.
Several hours later
After buying all what they needed they went to eat lunch with Kakashi
After they started to eat and Akira made Kakashi drop the book, Naruto turned to Kakashi
"Kakashi i have a question can i ask "
" you already asked kid but yeah of course "
" well it's something that bothered me, when we came into city the guards were suspicious and unfriendly why doesn't they look at us as heros? "he asked
" well Naruto think of it you now already that shinobi aren't heros, but rather people who'll sell their humanity and kill lielie and destroy. So think of it for a civilian an entire village not only full of us but we train our children like this as well obviously they won't like us " he said a glimpse of coldness in his voice
Oh thanks Kakashi I'll understand" said the blonde scratching behind his head although without the tread mark grin
'so here again the truth not only we aren't heros they don't even look at us like that "he thought
Three days later they were on their way back to konoha
