Thank you Dr. Archangel for helping fix this chapter.
"So we'll aim for the first treasure, the flute. This one has the most information, so far." - Levi took out a map to show the rest of his ninjas.
"The generals may also choose it first. We need a plan too." - Connie suggested.
"We could do a sneak attack, it'll take them all out, and then we get the treasure." - Levi considered.
"That would take too much risk. We won't know how many men they will take with them, or how many weapons as well." - Mikasa said with a good point up her sleeve.
"Umm...may I suggest something?" - Armin raised his hand for all the ninjas to hear.
"Sure." - Levi listened to their new blonde haired friend.
"I got a plan. The succeed rates will be higher."
"That's great! Tell us then." - Sasha jumped cheerfully.
"Well since the area we're heading to is -"
It was a huge mansion belonged to a general. Tall pillars supported the front side with majestic beauty. The fountain in front was as elegant as the calm water.
As the guests were pouring in, Sasha and Christa were dressed up as geisha while Jean was in a yukata.
Mikasa was in her usual Dark Wings outfit, totally covered in black.
She helped Sasha and Christa enter the mansion by jumping down from a tree nearby.
They were in their dresses, so Mikasa had to help. Jean jumped down right after that, with Connie, who was also in his ninja suit.
"Ready?" - Mikasa asked.
"Always." Jean smirked with confidence.
They sneaked to the back of the mansion with no hardship.
Why weren't there guards inside? Well because they were busy stopping soldiers at the doors.
The rumor of the Scattered Treasure had spread like wild fire. Generals all over the country had gathered at this mansion, where the flute should be. Just waiting to be taken by anyone.
In the mansion, Mikasa and Connie took lead. They used sleeping powder to knock out some the remaining guards.
"I and Connie will check the surroundings. You three search inside."
"OK."
After ordered, Mikasa and Connie left.
Sasha, Christa and Jean head to the main room.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" - A guard showed up.
"I'm taking these geisha to the main room. General Hans' orders." - Jean lied with a straight face. One thing about a ninja, was that they were always good liars.
"Really?"
"You know, when the time is tense, a woman is what you need." - Jean laughed, and placed a hand on the guard's shoulder "We're both men, you understand, right?"
"Ok. The main room is that way." - The guard pointed to the direction of the room in mind.
"Thanks, buddy." - Jean patted his shoulder and left with the two girls.
As soon as the guard walked away, Sasha giggled.
"Hey, keep it down." - Jean looked at her all serious.
"Sorry. I tried to hold it back before. You're so good at lying."
"Well it's my specialty." - Jean bragged with pride.
"Just get down to business." - Christa hit Jean's elbow.
"Kay." Jean turned to frown at the Goddess.
They entered the room, and the general was sitting on a mattress.
"Oh. I didn't hear there will be ladies coming today." - The general smiled amusingly.
When there were two geishas in the room, offering their service, no general would question. Lust was a very powerful poison.
"General Trent wanted to make a negotiation with you. He figured giving a gift first would help." - Another lie came from none other than Jean.
"Haha that man knows me. Come here ladies."
Sasha and Christa moved closer. Sasha wrapped her arms around his neck while Christa poured his drink.
"General Trent would like to meet you soon." - Sasha whispered in his ear.
He took the cup from Christa's hand and drank it down.
"Where would he like to meet?" - He asked.
"Hell." - Sasha grinned.
"WHAT?! You're...you're kidding, right?"
"Sorry. But it's the truth."
Sasha tightened her arms, smiling evilly to the foolish general. Hans seemed to be strangled.
"Urghh." - He tried to struggle but soon found his body numb.
"Oops." - Christa stood up "Guess there was poison in your drink."
"Trent died already. And that will happen to you, if you don't answer." - Jean smirked.
"What do you want?" the general said, feared for his life.
"I heard there's a flute here. Any thoughts?" Jean asked while snatching the man's collar with his quick hands.
"You're after it too? I don't fucking know. I only bought this house few years ago."
"Then anything special about this house before you bought it?" - Sasha tightened her arms more, like a threat to the General.
"The...the garden. It had a huge rock that nobody could move." - He gathered his breath as much as he could.
"Ok. I hope you won't tell this to the people out there." - Jean said and snapped his finger.
Sasha killed him off after Jean's signal.
"Let's tell Mikasa." - Christa opened the door.
"And Eren." - Sasha reminded.
Suddenly a red firework was shot up inside the mansion, causing the generals outside to go panic.
"GET IN! NOW!"
All the impatient generals ordered the soldiers to break through the guards and came inside.
But as soon as they reached the door, a big fire lit up and spread throughout the entire mansion.
"Do not fear! Forward!" - The generals yelled, doing whatever it took to put some courage in the soldiers.
The soldiers seemed hesitated, but scared of the bosses, they thought about continued.
"What do you think we are? We may be soldiers, but we have families too, our lives are just as important too. You can't just expect us to run in there knowing what kind of death is waiting!" - An unknown voice came from the soldiers.
"Yes, that's right!"
"No way we're going in!"
The army rebelled and decided to retreat.
"Hey! Come back!"
Despite his orders, no one entered the mansion.
A certain solider sneaked in though. Obviously the one who started the revolt.
"Eren!" - Connie waved at the solider.
"Connie. Found the treasure?"
"Come with me."
They reached a garden where Mikasa and Jean were desperately trying to move a huge rock.
"The treasure seemed to be under it." - Connie pointed to the rock.
"How the hell did they put it there at first?" - Eren walked closer to have a closer look.
"Yo Eren. The soliders won't come, right?" - Jean took a break, sweats were all over his body.
"Of course. They are cowards after all." - Eren placed his hand on the rock.
"It's no use. We can't move it." - Mikasa breathed heavily.
"How about...we break it?" - Eren suggested.
Suddenly there was a silent look between the ninjas.
"Ummm...did I say anything wrong?" - Eren felt the awkward silence around him.
"Fuck why didn't I think of that!" - Mikasa cursed.
"I think neither did General Hans think of it too." - Sasha muttered.
"Blind Spot. Now." - Mikasa ordered.
Mikasa, Jean and Connie stood around the rock and closed their eyes.
"What are they doing?" - Eren asked.
"Wait and see." - Sasha whispered.
Suddenly all three opened their eyes and punched the rock. Mikasa punched a low spot, Jean jumped up and punched a spot near the peak, while Connie hit a near middle spot.
The rock started to crack following the spots. Somehow with only three punches, the rock fell into pieces, small pebbles, some parts turned to dust.
"Shit!" - Eren shouted.
"Ninja technique. Don't look down on them." - Sasha patted his back "This one is about finding core points and hitting them."
Under the rock was a hole, a stair to a secret base.
"Sasha, Christa, get rid of those clothes and stand up here, and keep watch. Connie stayed with them. Stop anyone who try to enter. Eren, Jean, you two come with me. Who knows what kind of monsters could be in there?"
"See you later." - Eren waved at the rest before disappearing into the ground, after Mikasa and Jean.
"It won't be easy getting to the treasure." - Sasha sighed.
"I'll check the gates. You two change." - Connie said before leaving.
"Finally. I hate this make up."
