Current health condition, perfect. Chakra levels, full.

- - - -

The machinated city of Kagesuna had always been busy, but during the night, only few can be seen, most preferring to stay back at home, tuning in to the recent pod racers championship, the PR-1, or the newest series on TV. A perfect time for a stealthy nin like Kakashi to wander about unseen as he heads to the dark ghettos at the subsurface layers. His footsteps are light, not audible to the unmodified ear, and his movements were the marks of an agile chakra wielder of the force.

He passed a corner made of pipes, and he then descended into the tunnel lit with a dim yellow light, just next to the corner. But before he entered the tunnel, he took a short glance at the sign outside, where the words, 'Subterranean 9' glowed in a dim neon light. He descended lower and lower, passing unsuspecting civilians on the way, but he stopped when arrived at a small sewer hole. He glanced at the hole for a moment, before he scanned the graffiti artworks all over the tunnels. His eyes stopped to stared at a painted word, and he stepped closer to it.

That instant, a smile crept unto his masked face. 'So, here it is.'

He later opened the sewer hole when nobody was around, and he slowly crept his way in. Dark as coal, but he still made his way in, and after five minutes in the foul smelling tunnel, he arrived at a large opening. He then pushed the bars that block him from getting out of the tunnel, and he jumped down.

'Alarm. Intruder alert, sector five. Droid 16, 17 and 18 seize the intruder immediately.' A sweat slowly flowed from his forehead, and he cursed slight. 'Droids. Might as well blow them up if I meet them, but for now, I run.' kakashi then began to run.

But before he managed to run very far, two droids bumped into him. 'Intruder alert, sector four. Priority upgraded, level 2.'

"Shit!" The silver haired nin withdrew his katana, and he waited for the droids to attack. The robots left mechanical arms opened to reveal rapid fire guns, and the bullets poured out, blasting the ground where Kakashi once was.

Kakashi appeared behind a robot, his katana in the position to slash the machine. "Goodbye, bot." The katana glew with an eerie light of red, and the sword went threw the hard shell, wirings, and metal structure like a hot knife threw butter, and the droid exploded. Kakashi jumped backwards, but that instant, the second bot rained bullets at him.

But the bullets never found it's target, as Kakashi had already sped himself past the bullets, and then, the katana went threw the defence droid, and a certain brown colored liquid fuel started to burst out at the exit wound. Then, Kakashi pushed his red katana upwards, separating it in half before jumping back to avoid the explosions.

Then, a dark, deep voice cracked through the still air. "Still good as always." And in an instant, a loud clash of steel made it's way outwards, bouncing off the solid metal walls.

Kakashi's red katana met with another katana, but it glew in a brown tinged with red instead, and that katana was in the hands of a person with black cloth or something covering his head.

"Ibiki."

"... Still remember your ex-colleague, huh?"

"Of course."

"I'm surprised to see you here, and I'm equally surprised to see that you shifted to the dark side."

"My allegiances and side are none of your concern."

"Ah. I see. Let's talk business then. So, what can I do for you?" The both of them dropped their swords, but none of them are letting their fingers stray from it, and both of them kept a certain distance from each other.

"I am in need of a transport to take me to Ryu 17."

Ibiki remained silent for a moment, before he pulled out a small disc or something. Then, a hologram of a young lady projected from it. 'What can I do for you?' The hologram asked with a feminine voice, possibly replicated.

"Flights to Ryu 17."

"There are a total of a hundred and twenty seven ships heading towards Ryu 17 in the next 168 hours."

"So?" Ibiki switched his glance at Kakashi.

"I'll take any of it, as long as there are many other passengers as well."

The hologram then continued, "The semi-passenger ship Aurora carrying 429 people will be departing on 1st August 603 at 1600 Standard Solar Time from the Kagesuna Hokage Old Spaceport."

Kakashi looked at Ibiki, and he said, "Ibiki, get me on that ship unnoticed, or if possible, let me be a crew of the ship for full access to the ship."

Ibiki smiled slightly, "Where's the money?"

Kakashi then took out a diamond and handed it over to Ibiki.

"Diamond... Hard to get these days, so you've been stealing, I assume. But doesn't matter. This'll sell well in the black market. Consider yourself on that flight, but be prepared to do any odd jobs on that ship, though if you want to remain at stealth."

"Fine."

"Well, until then, why don't we have a talk until then. You can see my other wares as well."

Kakashi was silent for a moment, before he finally replied. "Very well."
