AN-1: This is a retry at the original story with some character changes. The original didn't do well, so I took it down and this will go in its place. Kushina will be replaced by Kaguya as wife, their children will Shion and Naruko. So other minor changes will happen and I may add some more things too.
This is a somewhat original idea inspired from watching So many shows. This will be set in the modern era and mainly set in the USA so sue me. This is story is inspired by old school actions movies and John Woo movies. Expect OOC on characters. This won't be long story either so please enjoy.

-Location: New York City: 9:30 pm-
[Background Music: Moonlight Sonata · Hidden Citizens]
A black on black Lincoln MKZ traverses the busy streets of NYC, finally pulling into a parking garage of a thirty story office building on the westside. A lone figure sits in the driver seat with lightly tanned skin, messy blood-red hair and red eyes with black slits inside the pupil.
"On time.. Need to be done quickly" he thought, checking his watch which reads 9:45 pm. A man hops out and heads to the opening trunk, adjusting his white tie as he reaches for a button on the trunk support. A false bottom opens revealing several weapons, a pair of customized and engraved silver Colt MFG 1911 COMBAT ELITE pistols with the ace of nines on the grips. A black and red Taurus Raging Bull 454 Casull, a Heckler & Koch UMP equipped with a KAC vertical foregrip and a FNP90 rifle. He slips a small device into his left pant's pocket, "Need to be subtle but there is hardly any resistance to the target" he thought, grabbing the colts.
The man slides the colts into his back holsters under his black suit coat and grabs a silver briefcase. The man closes the trunk looking at his watch, "9:59pm.. Security will be changing shifts.. I have fifteen minutes to clear the first floor and it's smooth sailing to the thirtieth" he thought. He walks to the elevator and takes it the first floor, security guards watch the monitors and patrol the first floor. Two guards pass the elevators as the figure waits in the shadows for them to pass. The guards turn the corner as the figure presses the button but returns to the dark hall, pressing a small device in his pocket and jamming the monitors.
"Huh.. Weird" a guard says. The door dings and the figure slips in as a guard enters the hall, "On schedule" he thought, as the doors close. The elevator dings on the thirtieth floor and the figure slowly walks out, looking around but sees no one. The figure walks a long hallway to the office of his target doto kazahana. The figure stands in front of the office door and slowly turns the handle but finds the office empty, "On time.. He should arrive any minute" he thought. The figure checks the office, setting things in place and takes his place waiting for kazahana. [music ends]
########シーンブレイク#######
Doto Kazahana arrives at his office building at 10:30pm, "Coming here late Mr. Kazahana" a guard asks. Doto adjusts his black tie with a semi serious look, "Just picking up some things.. Won't be long" he states, pressing the elevator button. Doto arrives at his office on the thirtieth floor but when he opens the door, a figure is waiting for him at his desk. Doto stands in shock at the sight of a man dressed in a black suit and orange dress shirt, "Do you know who I am Mr. Kazahana" the man asks and doto slowly closes the door.
"I do.. I've heard rumors but why would The Firm send one of the Akatsuki after me" doto replies. The man rises from the seat and motions for doto to sit at his desk, "Sit Mr. Kazahana.. It does not matter that The Firm sent me.. All that matters is that your life comes to an end tonight" the man states. Doto sits at his desk but reaches in his desk, "It's not there" the man states, holding up a .22 revolver. The man tosses the gun on the desk as doto glares, "Who hired you?!.. Whatever they're paying you I'll double it.. No.. Triple it" doto states.
"Mr. Kazahana.. Your crimes have warranted the use of someone like me.. You can not sway me.. Do us both a favor and Accept your fate" the man states and doto grips his chair, seething in rage.
"Do you know who I am?!.. I am Doto Kazahana!.. You don't kill me!.. You fucking fool!" doto hisses. The man reaches in his coat to pull out a photo of a young woman with dark hair and violet-blue eyes, "Koyuki Kazahana.. You niece.. You raped and murdered her.. The client contacted us and I was sent" the man states, placing it on the table and pushing it forward. Doto snatches the picture from the desk, "So what?!.. The little bitch wouldn't play ball.. So I dealt with her.. That was six months ago and I was found not guilty" he says with a smirk. Doto then crumples the picture and throws it at the man, "If who ever wanted me dead.. Why wait six months?!" he shouts.
"Mr. Kazahana if were up to me.. You would've been dead this morning.. While you were kissing your mistress goodbye or at your lunch meeting with your wife but the client wanted this to be face to face" the man explains, running his fingers along the desk. Doto's blue eyes flash in anger as he grabs the revovler but it only clicks, "What the fuck!" he shouts, firing again but again it only clicks. The man reaches in pocket and throws the bullets on the table, "Mr. Kazahana.. For crimes you are surely damned but none the less.. I'll say a prayer on your behalf" he states. Doto quickly reaches for the bullets, "You pray for me!" he shouts but before he could load. The man pulls out his colts firing six shots, five to doto's chest and the last to his head. Doto slumps in his chair as the man places the silver case on the desk. He pulls out a iPhone-12 and dials a number, "Kurama here... It's done" he states.
"Good work Kurama.. Finish up.. The plane will be at the airfield at Nine am" a voice answers. The man now known as kurama pockets his phone and vanishes into the hall. Kurama reaches the first floor as the guards head upstairs. He reaches his mkz as his phone beeps and he grabs the phone as a video pops up showing the inside of doto's office, the guards find doto dead and the briefcase. Kurama pulls out of the garage but as he leaves presses a button on a small remote. The guards search the office but find no trace of another person. One guard reaches for the case but it explodes destroying the office and everyone inside.
######-Background Music: Idle Hands - Shane Tutmarc-#######
Kurama pulls in the parking garage of the Marriott Marquis, heading to his room on the fortieth floor. Kurama sighs as he closes the door and walks to the bed, tossing his colts on the bed, then reaching for a large black and silver case under his bed. Kurama opens the case revealing a disassembled sniper rifle and places for his other guns, "Just a few more" he thought, running his hand through his red hair. He takes a shower after picking up his guns, his blood red hair washing away to reveal sun-kissed blond hair. Kurama wipes the mirror clean and removes his contacts to reveal ocean-blue eyes, "Maybe I should stick to my natural look instead of using all this" he thought, placing the contacts in their case. He plops on the bed and grabs another phone, this one being a LG Tribute-Monarch and dialing a set of numbers.
"Hello" a soft voice says, as the line connects.
"Did I wake you" kurama asks.
"No.. I just put the girls to bed.. Naruko was a bit difficult.. You sound wired" she replies. Kurama walks over to the minibar to grab a Jack Daniel bottle and a Coke, "A little work stuff.. My client moved up the deal time to tonight but I nailed it" he states, taking a seat in a chair. The woman softly yawns on the phone, "Oh Sorry honey but congrats.. Also don't forget the girls birthday is in four days" she states. Kurama leans back in his chair, "I know.. I'll be home day after tomorrow.. Give 'em a big kiss and hug from me alright" he repiles. The woman softly chuckles on the phone, "Ok I will.. Goodnight.. I love you Naruto" she replies, hanging up. Kurama or rather Naruto tosses the phone the bed, "If she knew the truth" he thought, sipping the jack n coke.
[Kurama Narrating]
My name is Kurama but truthfully my name is Naruto Uzumaki. I was born in a small town in southern Louisiana, my parents were gone by the time I was a young teenager. The woman on the phone was my wife Kaguya and the girls she mentioned are our twin daughters Shion and Naruko. My wife and kids have no idea what I really do, they think I'm an investment banker but the fact of the matter is that I am an assassin.
The organization I work for is called The Firm, it has ties to every goverment in the world but allegiances to none. The firm serves as a shadow organization, dealing with targets of interests for our clients and it is spilt into three branches. The American branch stationed in Los Angeles, the European branch in Paris and the Asian branch in Japan. The assassins in the firm work in anonymity using code names or fake names, mine being Kurama Snow. The firm's top tier assassins are known as the Akatsuki meaning Dawn or Daybreak in Japanese. They are the elite, highly trained and throughly effective. The firm is simply the thing that goes bump in the night. [music ends]
-Location: Airfield Outside New York City: 8:59AM-
Kurama arrives to airfield just as the private jet left the hanger, "Good morning Mr. Kurama.. We're almost ready for takeoff" a man states. Kurama nods as he boards the jet, "Would like some juice Mr. Kurama" a flight attendent asks and he nods. The flight attendant brings him a glass of apple juice and the morning paper. The top headline reads doto kazahana among the bodies found at his office building which exploded during the night, officials say kazahana was involved in illegal deals and involved in selling company secrets.
Kurama inwardly chuckles that the firm has stepped in and diverted attention from kazahana's death and used suspected terrorists as his killer. The flight is about five hours and twenty minutes long, arriving at an airfield in southern los angeles. The jet's door opens as kurama stood, "Enjoy the rest of your day Mr. Kurama" the flight attendent states. Kurama walks down the steps seeing a dark blue Escalade EXT and someone waiting.
The young man was twenty two with brown hair and wearing jeans with a grey polo shirt, "Welcome back Kurama" he greets. Kurama waves as he approaches, "Going casual Inari" he asks, moving his hand up and down over the younger man. Inari shuffles slightly as places kurama's cases in the back, "Naw.. I was at school when the call came to pick you up" he replies. Kurama laughs as he taps inari's shoulder, "It's cool.. Just yanking your chain" kurama says, smiling. Inari chuckles as they climb into the truck and head to the office.
#####シーンブレイク######
Inari and kurama arrive at the office, which is located near the ocean and to an outside observer it looks like regular office building but housed inside were some of the most highly trained, remorseless killers in the world. Kurama and inari walk through the lobby as they pass a beautiful woman with long blonde hair, honey eyes and a very generous bust. She wears tight blue jeans, black high heels, a white dress shirt and a long grey coat.
"Good morning Kurama" she greets, as she passes.
"Morning Tres" kurama replies. Inari turns to get a last glance before she leaves, "Man Tres is smoking hot" he states.
"That she is.. Sexy and Deadly" kurama replies. The elevator dings on the thirty-seventh floor as kurama and inari into the halls, "So how's your weapon's training going" kurama asks and inari sighs as they walk.
"It's fine.. I'm getting good with rifles and my hand to hand is top notch.. My pistol work is coming along.. Oh I picked my personal weapon.. The Beretta Brigadier Inox" inari replies and kurama whistles as they arrive at his office but both stop, seeing two men near the office. The men were dressed in black suits, one is about early forties with long black hair and the other is in his late twenties also with long back hair but covering the left side of his face.
"Orochimaru... Sasuke.. A pleasure as always" kurama says, smiling and hands inari his gear. Orochimaru shakes kurama's hand with a smile as inari heads into kurama's office, "Kukuku.. I may be Zero but I'm still on equal ground with you Vermillion" orochimaru replies.
"Come on now Zero.. You are the top of the Akatsuki.. Vermillion may have been chosen by previous Zero but he's still of lower rank" sasuke says and kurama slightly glares.
"Come now Sasuke.. Going by that logic.. Then you're of lower rank than me" kurama says, smirking. Sasuke tries to retort by orochimaru stops him, "Kurama.. Good work with Kazahana.. I was wondering if you take care of a simple job for me.. If you do consider it your big pay day job" orochimaru states and kurama's breath hitches.
"Can it wait a few days Sir.. I have some personal things to take care of" kurama replies. Orochimaru chuckles and slaps kurama's back, "Of course.. Of course.. I'll send Mabui the details and Kurama.. Again good work" he states, as he and sasuke leave. Kurama enters his office and inari is looking around, "Kurama your office is like an apartment.. Shower.. Bed" inari praises.
"When you make the big bucks like me.. You get stuff like this" kurama says, smiling. He walks over to a wall and moves a small statue, which reveals an array of guns and knives as the wall opens.
"Inari.. It's nearly lunch.. Pick up some Ramen and some Cherry Cokes" kurama says, picking up his gear. Inari nods as kurama finishes and heads to the shower as he strips naked revealing several tattoos. A scorpion on his left arm, a skull inside a spade on his right but the most distinct was a japanese symbol for vermillion underneath a menacing fox with nine tails. Kurama sighs in relief as the hot water runs over skin, "A hot shower makes all the difference" he thought, turning off the water. Kurama exits the bathroom now wearing a pair of black slacks and white short sleeve polo shirt.
"Hello Kurama" a voice said. Kurama turns to a woman with long snow white hair and green eyes, wearing a grey business suit with a purple flower in her hair as well.
"Hey Mabui" kurama states, sitting down. Mabui hands him several files, "This the file Zero wanted you to have.. Also the price liquidation has been transferred.. Now it totals $19,988,000.. You're almost there" she explains. Kurama sighs leaning back in his chair, "Yeah.. Then I can retire free and clear.. And focus on my girls" he whispers. Mabui nods as the door opens revealing inari with the ramen, "You want some Ramen Mabui" kurama asks but mabui shakes her head.
"No thank you.. I'm dieting" mabui replies, leaving as kurama and inari enjoy the lunch.
"You know.. Nothing beats Ramen" kurama says and clears his throat, "So what on the agenda today" he asks. Inari grabs a few files off another desk, "A few job choices.. We got a drug lord in Mexico" he states but kurama passes and inari opens another file, "Somali pirates or a Mizuki Toji" he states.
"No on the pirates.. Tell me about Mizuki" kurama says. Inari shows kurama the file of a young man with whitish blue hair, "Mizuki Toji.. Scum of the earth.. A pedophile but never convicted" inari explains. Kurama looks over the file with and arches his right eyebrow, "How?!.. He's been charged nine times" he asks.
"Gato Toji.. He's a senator.. He keeps his son out of jail.. Now the client wants it public" inari explains. Kurama turns his chair to look out the window, "I see.. So Inari how would you do this" he asks.
"Well If I had to take him out.. The best way to do it would be a Sniper rifle to keep distance" inari replies. Kurama chuckles with a cross of his legs and his hands in his lap, "Exactamundo.. So Inari this will be your job.. I'll assist but the kill goes to you" he says. Inari pops up with a huge smile on his face, "Seriously.. Thanks Kurama.. Oh he's in court for the next few days.. I'll scout the best vantage point" he explains.
"Alright and I'll supply the gun.. A Remington MSR" kurama states.
"Ok.. No problem" inari states, heading off.
[Kurama Narrating]
The eager beaver is Inari and he's as straight laced as they come. Inari still believes in good and evil but the world is not black and white but endless shades of grey. The client who wants Mizuki dead must be an opponent of Gato and wants to send a clear message through the son. The woman who left before him is Mabui and she's the only person other than Inari or Saru the former Zero, I really trust in this place. She handles weapons procurement, travel or logistics and the amount she mentioned is my net worth.
The busty blonde was Tsunade Senju or Tres or San among the Akatsuki. The two men were the new Zero Orochimaru, who took over for Saru last year and Sasuke Uchiha, a kiss ass and wants to be an Akatsuki quite badly. The firm divides its people into four classes, the bottom is the C-class, the second is the B-class. Then the A-class and lastly S-class or the Akatsuki. The C-class are the grunts, they work for higher rank assassins, case in point Inari. The B-class have some freedom but are required to perform ten jobs no questions asked for the higher ranks before moving up.
The A-class are like Sasuke, they have total freedom except from the Akatsuki but can't move up unless an Akatsuki steps down, retires or dies. The Akatsuki or the S-class are the elite, total freedom and are allowed free reign. The Akatsuki are chosen by the Zero and their are ten total between the three branches. Zero, San, Sei and Vermillion are here in America, while the Sky, Nan and Boar are in Paris with Gyoku, Hokuto and White in Japan. The big payday Zero mentioned is when an Akatsuki reaches a net worth over twenty million, they are allowed to retire from the ranks free and clear.
-Location: Orange county: Uzumaki residence-
Kaguya Uzumaki strolls from her deck overlooking the ocean, blowing her long white hair and sun dress but heads inside to find her fraternal twin daughters coming downstairs in matching shorts and shirts.
"Hello girls.. What's up" kaguya asks, a warm look in her pale white eyes. The girls smile holding hands, "Nothing Mommy" both girls reply. Shion is nearly identical to kaguya with whitish blonde hair and pale lavender eyes, while naruko looks like her father with blonde hair and blue eyes. Kaguya giggles but stops at the sound of a loud engine, both shion and naruko smiling, running to the front door followed by kaguya. The trio reach the front as a black 1970 Charger R/T pulls up into driveway as the door opens and a familiar someone gets out.
"Daddy!" both girls squeal.
"Naruto" kaguya says and smiles. Naruto kneels down to hug his daughters, "Hey you guys miss me" he says.
"Of course they did.. So did I" kaguya says and the twins cover their eyes as their parents kiss.
"Gross" shion says.
"Yeah" naruko says and both parents chuckle.
"So girls.. You ready for your birthday" naruto asks.
"Yeah" both reply. The rest of the day is spent playing and catching up with his family and putting kurama in the back of his mind. Naruto treats his family to home-cooked burgers with all the fixings, seasoned curly fries and home-made sweet-tea. Frozen ad Frozen 2 were watched and the would sing along until sleep would come for the twin girls, allowing naruto and kaguya to make up for lost time with the door locked and baby-monitor prepared.
#####Lemon Incoming - Lemon Incoming######
Naruto sits on the bed of their master bedroom with a smile on his face as kaguya slips into something revealing. Kaguya emerges from their master bathroom in a skimpy number to show her luscious legs but also F-cup breasts, "I've missed you" she coos, approaching with a sashay of her hips.
"I've missed you too and those.. Soft and creamy legs" naruto muses and kaguya giggles, sitting in his lap. Naruto leans in and softly kisses her lips as she wraps her arms around his neck before moving off her lips with chaste kisses to her neck. Kaguya releases several soft mews of pleasure as his hands squeeze her supple butt as her hands now move through his blond hair. Naruto nips a kaguya's pale skin as he plls the string of her nighty down bt he moves her on to the bed as his wife giggles. He hovers over her with a smiles and leans down to softly bite one of her siff niles, "You are such a tease" kagya says, feeling her lower region beginning to moisten. After a few minutes, naruto switches to her left breast and gives it the same treatment as kaguya rests her left leg on his butt. Naruto slowly pulls away after a few moments of working her breasts and starts sucking and licking her neck, while massaging both of her breasts. Kaguya feels herself getting wetter and wetter from naruto's actions, "S-stop torturing m-me" she whispers.
"No-no the torture continues" naruto says, as he moves lower to her trimmed sacred area. Naruto moves kaguya's panties aside to let the air hit her wet core, causing a moan to escape his wife's lips and sars runming his tongue over her bundle of nerves, causing kaguya to ball her hands into fists as he sucks on her clit and sensitive area.
"I-m Cumming" kaguya cries, feeling her first orgasm shuddering through her body. Kaguya takes a breath but her eyes widen as her inner walls stretch from her husband's girth and he starts thrusting his hips slowly, moving in and out of her body. After a few minutes, she begins moving her hips as well and timing her hip movements with his hips as they gradually settle on a comfortable speed. Naruto moves her arms over her head and their hands interlock and she releases several loud moans but naruto covers her lips to keep her from waking he girls.
"S-sorry" kaguya coos, feeling her second orgasm. Naruto chuckles and slowly pulls out to lay on his back and allow kaguya on top of him to ride cowgirl. She slowly descends on his girth and takes his left hand to grope her breasts as she starts bouncing slowly, their breah getting heavier and heavier. Naruto grips her breasts as his limit is coming closer and closer, soon kaguya feels his seed filling her womb and collapses on his sweaty chest with a heavy sigh.
"Missed that" kaguya moans, kissing his chest. Naruto caresses her sof and ale skin, "Me too" he muses.
"So Mr. Big time investor.. How did it go" kaguya asks.
"It was a killing.. Total liquidation.. Big bonus" naruto states. Kaguya chuckles and kisses him as he moves some of her snow whie hair, "My boss gave me another job too.. If I pull it off.. I can retire" naruto says, smiling.
"Seriously Naruto you are only Twenty-nine.. That's truly impressive" kaguya says. Naruto stares at the ceiling as kaguya falls asleep on his chest, "Just one more.. Then we are free" he thought, falling asleep. The day of the girl's birthday comes all oo quickly and naruto elected to make the food for lunch.
"So dear.. What's on tap" kaguya asks. Naruto taps his chin in thought, "Well Madam.. We will some down south home cooking.. Some Jambalaya.. Some Gumbo.. A little Crawfish Etouffee.. Ramen and some other things" he states.
"Cool dad" shion praises.
"I love your Ramen" naruko adds. The day goes by with no problems, the guests enjoy the southern cooking and the twins love their gift especially naruto's gift of matching autographed pictures from mickey mouse and the gang. Naruto was proud of his family, despite the money they have the family is still down to earth.
#####シーンブレイク######
The next day naruto returns to the office in serious mode to deal with mizuki toji. He arrives to his office to find inari waiting and dressed for work, "Kurama.. You ready" inari asks.
"Yeah.. I've got the rifle" kurama states, going behind his desk picking up a large silver case. Inari and kurama head to the parking garage, getting into the escalade ext and heading to the courthouse in question. They pull up to a high building about 800 meters overlooking the courthouse. Inari looks through binoculars as kurama sets up the rifle, "Alright.. The MSR effective range is 1500m and we're using the .300 Win Mag.. So we got enough leeway" kurama explains.
"He scheduled to leave at noon which is in Twelve minutes" inari says and hands kurama the binoculars, getting down to get in position.
"The wind is light.. You see the courthouse" kurama asks and inari gives a thumbs up.
"Alright.. Steady and calm.. Ok we got movement at the entrance.. Only reporters.. No target" kurama states and lays flat to scan the crowd, "Right.. Adjust Two degrees.. Seven minutes" he states. The minutes tick by like hours but on time at noon the doors open. Mizuki and his father walk out triumphantly as he has skates on his tenth time in court and smugly talks to reports but is completely unaware that his life is ticking down as kurama slowly gives inari the positions needed for the perfect shot.
"When you're ready" kurama states, as inari grunts. Time seems to slow as inari squeezes the trigger and the bullet fires, while mizuki continues to answer questions but his head blows back and the crowd screams as mizuki falls spilling blood everywhere. Gato stands shaking covered in his son's blood and brain matter. Inari sighs heavily as he sits up as kurama looks on, "Now you the weight of a life.. Relish this feeling but try keep to a code of aesthetics" kurama states.
"Yeah.. It's heavy.. What do mean code" inari asks.
"Some of us live by a code of aesthetics in this world.. Mine is No Women.. No Kids.. Saru taught me that.. I can be the devil to some but an angel to others but never lose your code" kurama explains. Kurama and inari pack up and head back to the office to file the report. Inari went home to reflect while kurama sits in his office going over the file mabui gave him. Kurama opens the file finding two pictures, "So this is what Zero wants.. Sasori Rouge.. Arms dealer and Deidara Artiste an up and coming terrorist.. Makes me wonder why the Euro branch can't handle it.. Must be conflict especially with Kushina as Sky.. No matter Kushina will understand" he thought.
"Hmm it seems I'll have a partner named Ei.. Must be Kushina's part.. I'll play it by ear but I must cautious.. I never did trust Zero" kurama thought and calls mabui for her to make the arrangements for his trip to paris, "Put the ticket under the name Menma Worth.. One way.. Weapons I'll leave to them as well as housing" he states.
"Alright.. The flight will leave tommorrow" mabui says, hanging up. Kurama calls home to inform the family, "Hey dear.. How's work" kaguya asks. Kurama slowly turns in his chair, "Slow but you remember my big job.. Well I gotta leave tonight for Paris.. Some french chef wants to expand here in America and I got the deal" he states. Kaguya sighs on the line, "Alright but if you succeed you can retire" she asks.
"Yeah then what do say we move back to Louisiana" kurama says.
"You sure.. The girls won't mind and niether do I" kaguya says.
"Ok we'll talk when I get back.. I Love you" kurama states.
"I Love you too Dear" kaguya replies, hanging up. Kurama heads to the parking garage, getting into a silver Audi R8 and heads to the Cabrillo Marina in San Pedro. He walks through the marina searching for a particular boat and after thirty minutes finds a ship called Enma. The ship is fifty feet long but he doesn't own it, its owned by the man who trained him, the former zero. Kurama notices an older man sitting on the rear deck, he looks about sixty with white hair and liver spots on his face, "Kurama!" he shouts. Kurama can only smile and wave back as he approaches, "Yo Saru!" he shouts back. Kurama climbs aboard and saru gives him a hug and gives the order to cast off, "What brings you to see an old man" saru asks.
"I wanted your advice.. I'm closing in on my big payday" kurama replies. Saru whistles and slips a pipe into his mouth, "Wow.. You work fast kid.. It's only been eight years since you signed on and six years as Vermillion it seems like yesterday" he says.
"Yeah.. Went from no name army sniper to high class professional" kurama states.
"To true but what put you on the map was your first job as Vermillion.. Isshiki Otsutsuki and his son Momoshiki" saru states and kurama chuckles, remembering.
-Location: Tokyo Japan: Six Years Ago-
Kurama walks through Tokyo International Airport Haneda on the phone, "I'm here Saru" he states.
"Good White will be waiting.. Just look for a hot chick with long indigo hair and pale eyes.. They make her look blind like your wife" saru says. Kurama chuckles with a shake of his head but stops, seeing a beautiful woman in a business suit and holding a sign with his name.
"Found her" kurama says and hangs up with saru.
"Kon'nichiwa Kurama Snow-san" she says and smiles with a bow. Kurama pockets his phone, "Um.. Hajimemashite White" he states.
"It's alright I speak english.. Please follow me and call me Hinata" white states, leading him to a waiting car. They soon arrive at a beautiful estate, "This is my home.. You will be staying here" hinata states.
"Alright.. So you are an Akatsuki" kurama asks and hinata nods.
"Yes I was the youngest to join.. Well except for you.. You amaze me.. Must've made an impression on Saru-sama" hinata states. Kurama rubs his chin with a soft smile, "Yeah He trained me from the rifle to the knife" he states.
"Pardon" hinata asks. Kurama and hinata walk the grounds heading to his room, "What it means.. Well it's old school.. The sniper rifle is the first thing a professional uses.. It allows you to distance yourself from the client and the knife is the last step.. With no error" he explains.
"I see.. Then you are truly worthy of being the new Vermillion" hinata states. The next day kurama wakes to rain and light sleet.
"Ohayo Snow" hinata states.
"Ohayo White" kurama says and hinata softly giggles. Kurama gets ready and hinata drives him to the firm's asian branch office, "Do you know about the client" she asks, as they ride the elevator. Kurama sighs and leans on the wall, "Isshiki Otsutsuki.. About Twenty years ago.. He angered quite a few people but then disappeared into seclusion" he states.
"Yes the clients wants Isshiki.. Many have tried but failed.. So we contacted the States for a new face.. I hope you can end this" hinata states as they enter her office.
"Have you tried" kurama asks.
"No it is a fool's errand.. No one has seen Isshiki in public for years.. However the client is insistent.. She was wronged by him and wants vengeance" hinata explains. Kurama sits at her desk going through the files on isshiki, when he notices a picture of hinata and a young man with black hair and sunglasses over his eyes.
"Your husband" kurama asks and hinata nods, "Does he know" he adds.
"No but he does not worry.. Do you have family Kurama" hinata replies. Kurama sighs and leans back in the chair, "Do not worry.. It will not leave this room" hinata assures.
"Yes a wife.. She's nearly nine months pregnant.. If were not for Saru I would've passed on this" kurama starts and sighs.
"She doesn't know about this life.. She thinks I'm here as an investor for a Japanese business man.. She told me when I come home.. I'll have three ladies waiting for me" kurama adds. Hinata serves him some tea, "Do you have a plan" she asks.
"Maybe.. He's got a son named Momoshiki.. Maybe use the son to get to the father" kurama states.
"How?!.. He would never betray his father" hinata states and sits back at her desk.
"He won't tell us.. Not living any way.. His corpse will" kurama states.
"I see.. The client is not above killing the son.. How would you go about it" hinata asks.
"Poison.. Leaves no trace and after he dies.. The father will send for his body.. We plant a mirco transmitter on him and boom we have Isshiki's location" kurama explains. He leans back in a chair as hinata thought for a moment, "I see.. Well it seems plausible.. Momoshiki frequents a geisha bar called Lotus.. He's loves puffer fish sushi.. That will be our poison" she states. The rest of the day is spent planning the mission and scouting the bar, that night kurama goes to the bar under the guise of an american investor interested in building a similar resturant in america. The owner shows him around the premises and the kitchen, the owner even invites him back for dinner the next night.
Kurama and hinata return the next night for the dinner to find momoshiki there and drinking heavily. Hinata distracts the owner, while kurama slips into the kitchen. The chef recognizes him from before and pays him no mind. Kurama sees a chef preparing the puffer fish meal of puffer soup and sashimi fugu. The chef steps away for a few minutes and kurama makes his move, slipping the micro transmitter in the meat and pours a vial of pure pufferfish tetrodotoxin in the soup. Kurama slips away unnoticed as the chef returns finishing the meal and the food is brought to momoshiki.
Kurama joins hinata at a table far enough away from momoshiki but in range to see him, as the geisha bring him the food. Momoshiki laughs and flirts as he eats the sashimi first, then gulps down the soup. Momoshiki then suddenly starts to grab his chest with a scream, "What the fuck" he yells, as he staggers. The other patrons scream as his eyes roll back and he falls to the ground. A man quickly checks his pulse to find him dead, "H-he's dead!" the man shouts. Kurama and hinata slip out before the police arrive, "Is it working" she asks.
"Yeah No problems.. Now its the waiting game" kurama replies. The days pass and the transmitter yields results, "His body has been tracked to a castle in central japan but the snowfall will make infiltration tricky.. Also some heavy security and surveillance" hinata explains. Kurama looks over the satellite images, "Do have a layout of the castle" he asks.
"None.. Also We can't provide backup.. We can drop you about two miles from the entrance but we can't aid you until the storm lets up" hinata replies. Kurama sighs heavily with a rub of the back of his neck, "Solo mission huh.. It will be tough with the storm and it might hinder us but it hinders them too.. I'll make my way to the entrance.. Destroy the alarm system and slip in.. From there I'll find Isshiki and eliminate him.. Then I'll slip out some way" he explains. Hinata slowly nods as she looks over the photos, "Good luck" she states, as kurama begins prep work and gear checking.
#####シーンブレイク######
A cargo truck pulls up about two miles from a large castle wall, "Good luck Kurama" hinata states, as kurama jumps off. He adjusts his white coat and checks his gear of a combat knife and infra-red sunglasses, "Visibility is nil but it works for me" kurama thought. He trudges through the woods as he nears the large wall, spotting several guards patrolling but the snowfall hampers their movements.
"Trucks.. That can prove useful" kurama thought, nearing the wall. He heads west along the wall coming and comes to a corner, before peering out to see a guard patrolling near an idling truck. The guard turns just as kurama comes up behind him and snaps his neck. He loads the dead guard in the truck and swaps clothes, now emerging as one of guards complete with a mask. He then proceeds northwest to the alarm system generator, passing several guards but none stop him due to his disguise. He finds the entrance to an underground tunnel and he slips into a passing truck, entering the castle's first entrance undetected.
The truck stops near the guard shack and kurama slips out, noticing several guards but he bypasses them finding a large vent. The vent opens just above the guard shack, "This storm is brutal.. However it hasn't cooled Boss Isshiki's rage" a guard states.
"You're right.. He wants the fool who killed Lord Momoshiki Dead" another states. Kurama reaches into a pocket and drops a gas ball through the vent as it bursts and the gas knocks out the guards. Kurama opens the vent and slips in to check the computer but finds a small problem, "This is only half the system.. The rest is on the grounds near the castle" he thought. He exits the shack heading north through more of the grounds as the wind picks up slightly and the snow falls more. He reaches a power generator for the security system but encounters a guard nearby and acts quickly by killing the guard. The snow fall starts to the cover the body as kurama nears the second castle entrance.
Kurama approaches the gate but two guards each armed with a H&K SMG. They stop him but he fools them with fluent japanese and gains access to the castle main grounds. Kurama walks through the grounds near the courtyard, "All business.. No detection yet.. This place may be old but it may prove troublesome" he thought, walking through the courtyard. He slips into the first floor of the castle, finding several guards praying and meditating. Kurama slips out another door and finds a helipad with isshiki's chopper, "If he get pass me.. I can use this" he thought, sneaking under the chopper and planting a remote bomb.
Kurama then cuts across the courtyard to the lower level guards' rooms, finding some spare clothes and changes into the black version of the guard clothes with a keycard. He makes his way through the first three floors silently but notices guards were waiting in the rafters as he ascends through the castle and they pay him no mind due to his disguise. Kurama reaches the fourth floor to find a dojo with several guards sparring and working out, "Looks like a need a new keycard" he thought, swiping one from the pile of clothes by luck. Kurama slips into an empty room and tries to contact hinata, "Kurama are you close.. The storm is breaking.. We'll have air support for you" she states.
"Just a few more floors.. I'll be waiting" kurama whispers. He continues his silent ascension to the top of the castle and soon reaches the stairs to isshiki's room. Kurama slowly walks up the steps with his combat knife in hand to find isshiki sitting in a chair, "At last you've come" isshiki states. Kurama enters the room and shuts the door, "You knew I was coming" he asks.
"I knew someday someone would come.. Remove your mask Assassin" isshiki states. Kurama removes his mask and isshiki chuckles, "An American but some Japanese mixed in.. Interesting" isshiki states, picking up a katana and throwing it to kurama. Isshiki picks up his own katana and takes a basic kendo stance, "If you're here to kill me.. Then try Assassin" he states. Kurama shifts into a similar stance and slowly draws closer, the tension becoming palpable as isshiki charges and the swords clang with several strikes. Kurama sidesteps a downward slash but isshiki follows up with a quick slash, catching kurama in his arm and kurama counters with a upward slash, forcing isshiki to step back and kurama rushes forward with a shoulder block.
Isshiki staggers back as kurama swinging horizontally catching his target lightly across the gut, the blood seeping into isshiki's shirt as he clutches the wound. The door opens as a servant enters and she screams alerting the guards. Isshiki pushes a button opening a secret door and slips inside as a guard enters. Kurama tosses his knife into the guard and grabs his H&K SMG and two clips. Kurama takes cover behind the desk as the guards rush in, opening fire and he trades shots to kill two.
"He must be heading to the chopper" kurama thought and grabs a dagger, throwing it as he makes a break for the open window. Kurama runs along the planks finding one open window, grabbing several clips and makes his way to the courtyard. Isshiki makes it his chopper just as kurama exits to the courtyard and the chopper takes off just as kurama makes it to the heliport. Isshiki smirks as he takes off but doesn't notice that kurama pulls a small remote from his pocket. Kurama presses the button and the chopper explodes in a huge fireball, causing the guards to scatter and kurama uses the opportunity to head for the front gate. Gunfire erupts through the area as kurama fires back but soon runs out of bullets.
Kurama reaches the main gate but is quickly surrounded by several guards and he raises his hands but notices a light behind the guards. Kurama hits the deck as chopper opens fire, cutting down the guards and he pops up as guards charge but he makes it to the chopper.
"Did you succeed Kurama" hinata asks, helping him on. Kurama pants and giving a thumbs up, soon the news spread among the akatsuki that kurama had done what no other had done and cemented his status as vermillion.
