This is a Naruto Fan Fiction only.

I began working on my end and began to find many interesting things about Gato. He started out as a lone shark to launder money for some other group. As long as he was in business with said mysterious group he was financially stable. The problem began when apparently he got cold feet.

He left the group and that was when he opened his only legitimate business, his shipping company. Bad thing tend to happen to his ships or the cargo it seems. I could only speculate but I imagine the group he left had a hand in it.

The final nail on his proverbial coffin was Tazuna. He proposed to the local lord that building a bridge would increase the flow in business and it was much safer than shipping. That was when Gato returned to his criminal ways.

He first began to extort money from the local businesses, this had the obvious result that they either went under or left the town. Little by little Gato began a long process of ruining the economy of the town. That was not enough for him, Tazuna used his own family wealth to start building the bridge.

When the bridge first started Gato killed the husband of Tazuna's daughter. I heard from hardened criminals as even they thought it was gruesome the way Gato killed the poor fisherman. In the way they described his execution and how he was left for all to see, it would have been more merciful to still his throat.

He was crucified after he was practically mutilated. Gato then dosed the cross with gasoline and burned him alive while a crown watched. I could see Inari's and Tsunami's face as they saw him burn up. That's right, I learned Gato forced Tazuna, his daughter, and grandson to watch.

I found out most of this from men that as Gato told me I should get to know. I swear these thugs love gossip even more than Ino and Sakura combined.

The next morning I met him he has quite the list of people that supposed to owe him money. "Now Shinji these dead beats don't owe me as much but money is money. On this scroll are the names of ten people. If they refuse to pay I have no further use for them. You have my complete permission to have fun killing them, just dispose of the bodies."

I took the scroll off his hand and decided to get to it. 'This feels more like a loyalty test than anything else. There must be reason for him wanting to pressure these people.'

I was right about him wanting to get rid off these people. They were all ex employees that he fired without paying their salaries. Nine families gave me documents showing that he fired their relatives when they asked for their salaries.

I instructed them how to leave town without getting noticed, and told them to wait a month to return. The situation would be taken care off in about a month.

The last person I had to meet shocked even me. It was this blonde haired, glasses wearing bombshell by the name of Silvi. "Silvi I know you worked for Gato mind telling me what you did for him?" With a body like that I expected her to tell me stripper.

I couldn't believe it when she said she was the former accountant for Gato. "I used to be the personal accountant for that pervert! He fired me just because I wouldn't sleep with him."

"Now Silvi I have to ask you something a bit unexpected, do you have any idea where Gato keeps his financial record?" She laughed so hard she fell off her chair.

"You remember that ugly portrait on the first floor right? Well if you punch in a code it opens to his personal vault. All his records and money are there. The keypad is on the right side of the frame and if you promise me to clean him out I will gladly tell you the code. So do we have a deal? You will rip him off?"

I smiled at her and told her that I would do it even better than he did his employees. She took a piece of paper from her rather ample bosom. I read the paper as she told me the code.

"I know this is going to be hard for you to believe, but the code is 1-2-3-4-5." She was right even as I heard her and read it on the paper. Gato wrote the code on the piece of paper.

I looked at her and was shacking my head in utter surprise. "That is the single dumbest code ever made, you have to be a complete brain dead moron to have to write it so he wouldn't forget it!"

Like I did with the other nine I told her how to get out of town without getting noticed, and with her looks it was decided that I would send a pair of shadow clones as back up.

Late that night I sneaked into the shipping building and sure enough the code still worked. I put everything in the vault in two scrolls. The accounting books pretty much said the whole story. If Gato didn't stop the construction of the bridge he would end up penniless, and he owed a massive amount to a person that was just called Pain.

As far as money let's just say I remembered what I got paid for all my D rank missions, and I was filthy stinking rich compared to what he had in the vault.

You can pretty much imagine his reaction to find both Renji and myself gone, presumably dead if the bloody clothes found were any indication. I added a nice incentive for Gato to get desperate by leaving also a not that said pay up or you are next.

Me and Haku were laughing our heads off when we saw his reaction through a window. "Well I got to thank you for your help Haku, I never expected it truth be told." She smiled as we both left the area.

"Think nothing off it, consider it my way of thanking you for being so sweet with Ms. Bunbuns. That is the name of my cute pet rabbit in case you haven't figured that out."

I went towards the bridge and Haku left to take a copy of the records we found to her father. Man I wish I could be there to see his reaction when he reads those books. At the very least he will find out I was not only right, but I saved all their lives by what was written in his personal journal.

As I got to the bridge my shadow clone dispelled and I got to learn everything that happened in my absence. It seems Sakura was as lazy as ever, and the speedo wearing Sasuke disguise was the only way I could get her to train at all. I felt like I needed a shower as soon as I saw everything that happened.

I saw Tazuna having a discussion with several of his construction workers. By discussion I mean they were yelling at each other so loud I was not surprised if the entire bridge building crew heard what they were saying.

"Look Tazuna you might not care about your life, or the lives of your family. I am getting way from this suicide plan you call a bridge! You can't pay me enough to risk leaving a my wife a widow and my son without a father!"

I saw his name tag and remembered he was on the financial records as one of the men Gato promised to reward if they got the rest of the construction crew to abandon Tazuna and the bridge.

I hated selfish bastards that tried to get rich all the while pretending they cared about everyone else.

"Tazuna you might want to read this fascinating book I found. I think it will make this discussion more easy to understand." He saw the look I was giving the crew member that had just screamed that and looked were I was pointing. The second he did he too glared at the traitor.

"You want to leave, be my guest. I will however have to tell your coworkers somethings to let them understand why you are leaving."

I walked in the center of the part that was already completed and jumps on top of the arm of one of the construction cranes.

"Your fellow crew mates know me rather well. I am going to explain why this guy is making a scene. You see this guy was promised by Gato a small fortune if he got all of you to abandon the construction of this bridge. For the record he is not married and has no kid."

"So in short we got a traitor who is lying to you, just because a swindler promised to make him richer than his entire family has ever been. The only thing he had to do is stop the construction of a bridge that would make all your lives better!"

The lousy traitor tried to make a run for it. The rest of the construction crew caught him and hog tied him.

"Too bad Gato was lying through his teeth. He doesn't have enough money to pay his own bar tab! He has all those people working for him with signed IOUs that he either can't pay or never intends to pay in the first place. That traitorous idiot got swindled by him like all the thugs that work for him."

The look of shame on the traitor's face made every one feel sorry for him. Everyone except me or Tazuna that is. Tazuna told them to untie him, which they did. The guy must have believed everything was forgiven, boy was he ever going to get wise?

"I will not cause you any harm, but no benefit either. I highly suggest you leave town and never return. I also suggest forgetting about working as a construction worker or putting my name as a reference. You are leaving with your life, and your possessions but nothing more and nothing less. Get out of our town traitor and never return."

I knew what was going to happen and I knew what he would do too. It had been one of the reasons for me to go undercover to collect this information in the first place, it also allowed me a couple of days without having to listen or see Sakura flirt with Sayomi.

The rest of the construction workers became instantly motivated to do even better. My guard duty from that point on became so damn boring I practically begged Tazuna to let me help in the construction. At first he didn't want me to do it, but when he saw I could make five hundred shadow clones he dropped any complaint about it.

I spend much time during my guard duty learning about construction techniques, and being a seal master I came up with some good ideas on how to use seals to make the bridge even better.

The other aspect is that everything I learned the shadow clones knew. "Naruto if a few days you told me you and I be discussing how to improve my bridge schematics I would call you insane. I have to admit those regen seals and strengthening seals are a god sent."

I been doing this for nearly a week. Tazuna at first was sceptical about my seals, but once I explained how I would use them he was all for it. I would use seals that would treat the bridge as a living structure. It would repair itself and the more weight it carried the stronger it would get.

"Say Naruto why don't you sleep in the room I said you can use? I kind of feel bad that you do all these things for us and we give you nothing in return." I jumped off the steel beam that I was standing on and landed right next to him.

"I am a fox Tazuna, trust me I feel more comfortable on that tree branch. I also don't want to cause you or your daughter any more trouble. I guess Inari never did as we agreed and he will cause you no end of trouble if I live with him under the same roof."

Tazuna began laughing like I said a really good joke. "You mean his little wake up call? Yea, he went to the market every day with his mom. He couldn't believe he saw girls and boys his age eating out of garbage cans. Some even were prostituting themselves to help feed their relatives."

"After he saw that he started to realize he had it better than most. He cried that he finally realized he was a spoiled brat and from that moment on he started helping his mother with the housework. He even sold his toys and gave the money to a food bank to feed the needy."

"Trust me Naruto he will welcome you with open arms. In fact I have a bit of a favor to ask you. Could you teach him some self defense? I know if my son learned to defend himself better he might still be alive."

I knew what his heavy drinking would cause him. So I decided to make him a deal I knew he would never agree. "Alright, I will live in your house and teach Inari how to fight, but in return you cut back on your drinking to one glass per day. We got a deal?"

I expected him to say for me to keep sleeping on the tree. Instead he grabbed my hand and said something that left me speechless. "You got yourself a deal! I was planning to cut back anyways. Bad example for my grandson you know."
