The treasure of Pearl white eyes
What starts out as a spying mission turns into a mission to defend the heir of the hyuuga clan, from the clutches of the Cloud, but with genetically enhancedshinobi stronger than sasuke, gaara, or even the Fifth, do they really stand a chance? Or will the Hidden Villaige of Cloud finally get the byyukagan eyes of the noble Hyuuga clan? rated k+ for swearing, and mild violence.

Sasuke rolled up the seaweed over the sticky rice, cutting the roll into 6 pieces each, and adding it to the sushi platter in front of him. He would have gladly spit on it, had he not been in plain sight of every customer in the restaurant. So instead, he put on his fake routine smile, and handed the platter to the man in front of him.
"Arigatoo"
Sasuke continued to cook, keeping an eye on his surroundings, always ready to fight. There was his sushi knife, which wouldn't seem that effective against the faster kunai. But then, he would always have his Sharingan, and Hinata her Byuukagan. That had to count for something. There was also a hidden exit behind him, where escape would be convenient. Sasuke glanced around the room at potential threats, finally resting on a lone shinobi in the corner. The guy was about Sasuke's height, tanned skin, with indigo eyes. He wore a black cloak, but his blue hair was still visible, two bangs hanging down, covering the whites of his eyes, the rest in an untidy fashion. Sasuke concluded that he wasn't Japanese, or at least, not 100 Japanese. He noticed the shinobi's dagger, decorated with jewels at the golden handle, one sided and curved. Definitely not Japanese. It was the same length as the guy's wrist, to his elbow.
The man called over Hinata, who brought him his seventh cup of water. She too, noticed his foreign appearance, and could practically feel the power inside of this guy. He was always here, in the corner, never ordering food, or beverages besides water. He simply sat there, drank his ten cups, and quietly left, with many eyes following him, apart from Sasuke's and Hinata's. Everyday, whispers would follow his leave.
"Do you recognize him? Isn't he our representative in the meetings with Cloud?"
"Yeah, he's the strongest jounin there is….."
"Better than Raikage I heard…"
"They say that he can defeat even the Hokage….."
"Psh. He's a foreigner. I could probably beat him with one hand tied behind my back."
"I heard he could beat that kounichi from Cloud."
"The psychic one?"
"Doesn't look so special….."
"A joke….."
Sasuke listened with interest as the blue eyed man left once again. He barely registered the guy's supposed skills, and instead, focused on his connection with Cloud. If he really was the representative, he might be able to get a lot of information from him, progressing in the mission.
"YAMAMOTO-SAN!"
Sasuke quickly responded to one of his regulars calling him. "Hai, sumimasen. What do you need, Suzuki-san?"
"I was just complimenting you on another job well done. Are you okay?"
"Hai. Say, Suzuki-san. Who was the guy who just left?"
"You mean Reji? He's the strongest man in the Village of Rain, supposedly the adoptedcousin of Mizukage. It was weird, because he was offered to be leader of the water guardians(1), but he declined it, just to become a representative. Wait…..Why are you interested?"
"I wasn't. The guy never buys food here, and takes advantage of the free water. I just wanted his name."
"Oh. You better not mess with him though. Let him be the way he is."
Before Sasuke could question the man further, Shikamaru entered the restaurant. "Yamamoto-san. Good to see you again. One bottle of sake, and an order of tonkatsu(2), please."
Sasuke quickly prepared the pork and handed Shikamaru the sake.
"How has business been"
Start the small talk. "It's been going well. I've been getting a lot of generous tips lately." Add another fake smile.
"Ah. Planning to get the missus anything special?" Shikamaru gave a subtle smirk as he brought the cup to his lips. That fucktard. Sasuke made a mental note to kick shikamaru's ass when they got back to Konoha…….if they were ever going to return that is.
"After I save a bit more. Here's your order."
Shikamaru quickly devoured his food, staying a bit more to speak to some of the other customers before deciding to pay the bill and take a bottle of sake to go. Sasuke took the money, slipped out a white parchment from between the bills, and read the note.
Sasuke. There's been a major development in our mission. According to Shino, things may not be working out for the cloud in their recent talks. One of his newest clients, Yoshi Nogu, is in charge of the legal issues, contracts and such. He's been talking about a lot of the disagreements there is, and the hostility that's been arising. He also mentioned something about "Cloud keeping a secret". Apparently, it's not Rain that's been trying to back out. We have to quickly take advantage of the situation and encourage the breaking of the alliance. Also, although it isn't part of the mission, I feel that we should find out what exactly the secret is that Cloud is keeping from Rain. Temari and I will stop by the restaurant tonight for our "anniversary". Shino says he'll stop by also, so you will have to reserve all the tables tonight for our "private dinner". If anyone asks, just make up some excuse.
Sincerely,
Shikamaru
First Cloud wanted this alliance, and now, they wanted out of it? Interesting indeed. Sasuke went ahead to tell Hinata the new situation
It wasn't until around 10 that Shikamaru and Temari finally showed upat the restaurant. Sasuke made sure to lock the doors and close the curtainsas the two shinobi entered the dimly lit room. He waited impatiently as Shikamaru made himself comfortable, taking the bottle of sake that Hinata offered them. "When is Shino going to come?"
"Soon enough. I already told him all the details of my plan to end any connection between Cloud and Rain already. In fact, he's already carrying out an order i gave him earlier."
"Oh? What's your master 'plan'?"
Shikamaru hesitated before elaborating. "We can't risk staying in this village much longer. I sent a message to Tsunade-sama about our current situation. Our orders are to assasinate any supporters of the alliance, as well as the Mizukage."
"What? Assassinate the Mizukage? Is tsunade mad?"
"I don't like this plan one bit either. But we have to face the facts. We're in the middle of a potential war. If we can carry out the mission without Rain ever knowing we were here, then we can prevent future bloodshed. There will be too much on their own hands to deal with Cloud, and without the alliance, it is likely that Cloud will back down from any agressive acts against us."
"Plus" added Temari "If a war did start, the village of Sand might not be able to lend all the help it can offer. Gaara has only been kazekage for a short period of time, and we are still focusing on rebuilding our village since the incident with Orochimaru. It is not only favorable, but 100 percent necesary to prevent war from breaking out."
"Fine. So how are we doing this? We can't just storm their head offices. And i seriously doubt we can sneak in with the heavy amount of body guards, and shinobi he possesses."
"Precisely. Shino has captured one of the head guards, and is currently interrogating him right now. It's only a matter of minutes before he finishes."
"Actually, I'm already done." Shino appeared from the hidden exit in the back of the kitchen. "I've already gotten all the schedules of every single guard on duty tomorrow. The best time to strike would be at 2 to 3, when most of them will change shifts."
"Excellent. You and Hinata will be outside the Head office building to take care of anyunexpected companythat decides to show up. Your blood limits should make it easier to take out multiple enemies at once. Temari and I will secure the area inside the building. Sasuke, you will personally assasinate the Mizukage, because you have the best fighting ability of us all. None of us can leave any survivors under any circumstance, or the rest of the Village might find out that Konoha was behind this. That means you Hinata."
Hinata nodded. Sheunderstood that she would not be able to spare anybody, whether she wants to or not. It was essential that this mission was executed perfectly, and she would not be the one to screw it up. "But what about the surporters of the Mizukage? Surely they can't all be in the office with Mizukage."
"Neji, Naruto, and Kiba are taking care of that. Be sure to pack all your things tonight. We have to be ready to leave immediately. Make sure to destroy all traces of your existance here."
With that, Shikamaru and Temari quickly left, followed by Shino not to long after. So After all these months, Sasuke could finally return home and live in his peaceful house alone. He couldn't wait for tomorrow.
