Konaha's main hospital. Nurse POV
Working in one of the best hospitals in the country has its perks and downsides. The salary is great and there are many work benefits. Our family members are given health insurance and work hours are manageable. The doctors are very demanding persons with huge stick up their asses. They treat us inferior to them and work us to exhaustion while they play around with each other.
Everything seems fine on the outer workings of the hospital. But if we are to look deep into the heart of this institution, it is one of the most dangerous place for any person. This hospital is controlled by the Syndicate. Any shootouts, any surgeries to transfer experimental drugs through human body without getting caught by customs, as they are kept not on the person but inside the person. There were rumours of experimental drug testing on humans (the person who started it was never found afterwards ). Whenever shootouts occur, the patients are treated outside any surveillance and their records would be destroyed. To survive in a place like this you should never question anything and keep your mouth shut about anything you see and hear. The police thought that they might catch the upper members but there was no evidence left behind. Till date no person knew about the upper member of the Syndicate. I was one of the senior most members in this hospital and I was to take care of a small child, Hatake Ryohei aged five who was the son of one of the most influential member in this city, Hatake Kakashi.
He was an extremely cute kid with natural grey white hair (the kid when awake used to pout and say that it was silver colour), honey brown eyes and pale skin (which was now yellow in colour). A hyperactive little brat who is surprisingly perceptive at times was now lying lifelessly in this near dead position.
The child first fell ill in middle of summer, first thought to be generic summer flu which further grew worse with fever of hundred and four degree temperature and sore throat. It was followed by vomiting everything he ate and he collapsed and was joined in the hospital. After few treatments he got better and recovered completely in few days.
After two months his naturally pale skin turned chalk white and he had trouble stomaching any food. The skin grew gaunter day by day which was written off to be post traumatic fugue of her body regurgitation to body chucking out all the food.
He was diagnosed with Jaundice with severe abdominal pain. He vomited up anything fed to him and they have to resort to liquid diet for two and half months. They ran many tests which showed clear build up of bilirubin but none of the meds showed any effect. Test scans for cirrhosis, hepatitis and hell even for gallstones came up negative. His liver is normal but jaundice refused to get cured. He went into state of coma and was here since four months.
His father and mother didn't know about this hell hole and joined him here. Being connected to the Syndicate is bad for any business. But no person working here was harmed and unless you cross them(even though you have no idea of who they are), you'd be treated kindly. Today afternoon there was a news that a new doctor, who is an alumni of Senior University, is joining this hospital. Hoping that the new doctor is nice person, I ran diagnostics of the little boy who might not see the light of other day.
After checking his vitals (there was slight decrease again), I came out of the room and walked towards the cafeteria, which is not too far from the room, I saw a bouncing long blond haired woman with three strange birthmarks (or scars who knows ) on each side of her face and exotic sky blue eyes, walking along the way I came through.
After reaching the cafeteria for my daily poison of coffee, I ordered a cup of Espresso and sat down to savour the taste and forget all my worries before going to my kids at home. Not even a five minutes later, there was loud ringing of both security and emergency alarms. I saw a man clutching a wound on his shoulder probably cut by a very sharp knife. When he saw the security he ran towards other side. His shirt was torn displaying a large English letter G with waves in background. His face was completely covered by a blank mask and he exited through fire escape.
After seeing him jump out to the fire escape, I regained my senses and ran to the emergency room. I saw the woman from earlier, applying pressure over a flesh bullet wound, barking out orders to my colleagues who were torn between obeying her orders and helping her. We followed her into the emergency room where on the way she told us to perform CPR each of us a fifteen minutes for at least seven hours by taking turns, we were flabbergasted by the order from this unknown person and when we were about to deny, she showed us her identity card which is a proof of her being a doctor and she informed that she was to join us from tomorrow. Our team of ten walked into the room when I was shocked to see the person lying on the bed. It was my charge Ryohei Hatake.
She requested us not to question any of her orders while one of us started the CPR, she asked us to bring a litre of blood matching the patient and it was to be brought before two hours. One of us went to blood bank as the blood group of the kid is stated in his medical file. She then removed a strong. (strong enough to cut off the blood supply) strap on his left hand and continued to check each and every vital of the kid.
After a long and exhausting operation and a phone call to the kid's parents , I finally took a good look at our to be superior. She was a pretty little thing. Eyes that seems to hold the sky, tanned skin that sun seemed to kiss each and every inch of it and golden tresses for hair. With large doe shaped large eyes, heart shaped face with cute button nose and pouty lips she looked like some sort of Yosei. She was currently wearing a bright orange half sleeved sundress with dark blue coat over it. Standing at a height of five foot three inches possessing perfect hourglass figure with a D-cup chest, slim waistline, wide child bearing hips she would easily make any girls in the vicinity inadequate with her beauty. She bounced over to her and started to talk with her. Hell even voice sounds like musical bells.
"Hello my name is Minatsu Ichiraku. Thank you for cooperating with me for this operation. Can we be friends?" she said grinning brightly at me.
Maybe she isn't that bad to be friends with, I guess.
Hatake's residence, Kakashi's POV
These days have work has been hectic for us. There was a mole in our ranks but I left it in the capable hands of my student. Three days ago I received a call that the rat has been taken care of and that my fiancée was the one who caught him during the transaction. To say that I was extremely proud of her was an understatement. She was in pretty sombre mood these days. Our son Ryohei was diagnosed with jaundice four months ago. He was light in my dark world. Even though we bought the best ever treatments bringing the best doctors to treat him everything seems futile. His body doesn't seems to accept any medication and treatment. Three months ago he fell into comatose state and our hope was dwindling everyday. I'm most powerful man in the entire country, hell even the entire continent was unable to save my only son. My fiancée Iruka who used to be very cheerful was now a shell of her former self. She threw herself into the work or doted our daughter unable to watch our son die. I rarely saw her smile these days.
Sasuke met me the day before yesterday to explain his findings. He told me that bodies found in docks were body of our traitors. I was supposed to keep the upper members in dark about this. He said that lower ranked members wouldn't utter a word about it (I really don't want to know the details after he mentioned his cousin's sadistic girlfriend). How the hell I'm supposed to placate the old members who might think that killing civilians in their turf was sign of aggression from other family I don't know. I swear the little shit does it on purpose paying me back for my tardiness when he was my student.
I then received news that Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandson was involved in an accident. The driver was drunk and hit the car. Luckily he survived but it was a close call. There was a shooting attempt at Hiashi Hyuuga's daughter Hanabi but the girl herself disarmed and shot the assailant in leg and he was bought in for interrogation, but before they could extract any info he bit his own tongue and chocked on his own blood and died.
As I was musing about all of this and trying to put a dent in my paperwork, At four in the morning I received a call from the hospital that they wanted to meet me immediately. Thinking that something happened to my son I ran drove towards the hospital praying and hoping for the best.
After I reached the hospital dreading any sort of bad news. I saw my kid's personal nurse, Tsubaki Tozuki walking towards me. I knew that she doesn't work usually this late. I ran a background check on her. An ordinary civilian with two children, one of the oldest and most caring nurse who probably knew that this place connected to Syndicate but knows better than to reveal anything. Currently divorced with two kids a girl and boy aged 17 and 13 respectively. The remorse on her face made my stomach sink fearing the worst I asked her
"Is my child all right, Mrs Tozuki. Nothing happened to him right?" I anxiously asked the nurse trying, but failing, to keep anxiety and worry out of my tone.
"Calm down Hatake-san , your son is alright for now. We called you so that you can lodge a complaint to police. Somebody tried to poison your son and we successfully neutralised it..." The rest of the statement was lost to my ears after feeling relief my vision turned red and felt murderous. The lady felt my intention and tried to calm me down.
I took calming breaths to control my anger. No use lashing out on innocent civilian who knew nothing. This is no coincidence, someone is targeting the younger generation of the Syndicate. Sasuke is right, This is clearly an inside job with one of the top members supporting him. No one else knew that Hiashi was part of us and no one knew that my son is undergoing treatment here except for the nurse, few doctors and upper members of the Syndicate . I listened with half an ear and nodded at right moments. I asked her about the assassin.
"Sorry Hatake-san, I was not present when he administrated the poison. Even though he passed through me he had a mask on his face. So I didn't see his face He however had a tattoo on his back. I don't even know why the lady made me do CPR but he was well after the treatment. She was going to join the hospital the today you may ask her. She filed a report through which you cannot go through as it is confidential. There was no surveillance camera near your child's room but both of them are injured so I'm pretty sure that she defended your son. She even conducted the operation only after basic first aid." she replied
So my son was saved by our latest recruit who was trying to get know of her workplace early. Talk about luck . No reason trying to contact the person as Hiashi would easily give me access to any files in the hospital. I went to look for my son and as usual he was lying motionless. I swore in my heart that whoever the bastard that tried to kill my child I'll hunt him down and give him the most agonising death with my own hands.
I returned home after an hour. Iruka is out with Izumi and Anko, who are trying to cheer her and make her temporarily forget about our child. I kissed my daughter who is currently sleeping and called Hiashi to bring me the records and secret camera over his room and hospital footage. I made a mental note to shoot the bastard who was supposed to watch over my child.
I received the files to my email account a few minutes later. I saw my child would be killer knock out the guard(who is then ogling after a pretty woman) I kept for my child. At the same moment he entered the window a woman entered the room and saw him administer the poison by injecting it into IV . She immediately pressed the security alarm and took surgical blade in her hand and fought him. The picture was not of high quality and is a black and white video showed the way the woman fought. She was shot in her shoulder with bullet grazing the flesh. She tore off his shirt trying to pull off the mask cut him on the shoulder and leg with the blade at which the fucker fled. The assassin dropped the poison bottle which the lady without giving chase but choose to tied a strap to his child's arm, probably to prevent poison from spreading the body after ripping . I saw the bastard leaving the hospital through fire exit which clearly showed the tattoo on his back. I was not disappointed as it was the symbol Gato enterprises. When I again choose to watch the room the woman picked up the poison bottle and read the label on it. She seemed to send it for diagnostics and said something. She barked orders to the nurses to prepare emergency room and called for eight other members. The suspicion if not confirmed by attack on Hyuuga heiress, was completely cemented by the way the assassin navigated around the hospital. This hospital was designed to hide injured members without tipping off the police by Hiashi Hyuuga. He kept firing the constructors to this hospital continuously until no person except us knew about its layout and secret passages. The assassin knew exactly every room to hide and escaped the hospital with relative ease.
I opened the report filed by the doctor and started reading it. It was pretty much well written for a civilian. She began by saying that the label stated that it is the poison from saliva of Blue Ringed octopus. If it was right then they had only half an hour or so to start giving treatment. She took to the lab to confirm the poison and raced back to the child. It was one of the deadliest and least known poison to men. Perfect for assassination, the poison could stop flow of oxygen in muscles. This causes paralysis and l muscles in the body stiffens slowly but steadily stopping the heart. It breaks down in the blood stream after death leaving no trace behind making it seems like a natural death. No known antidote except to help the victim breath through CPR till the poison disintegrates. She noted that as full dosage isn't given it took seven hours of CPR otherwise would have taken twenty-four hours to get rid of the poison.
She then apologised for conducting operation without any permission and said that she took a look over the medical records of my son. She then suggested to conduct a CT scan and have it bought to her.
There was a second record with which the scan was enclosed. The ultrasound showed a small mass of block of something near the liver. The rest of the medical terms were too complicated for me to understand. But she stated that if a willing person with matching blood group( is found before two months the chances of survival is about seventy-five percent. I was elated to learn this fact and hope rejuvenated within me that my child may live. Even in my exhausted state I relayed the news to my wife and requested my Sensei to come home for lunch(without telling him the news) through a message. I sent another message to Hyuuga inviting him to lunch . For first time in three months I slept peacefully.
I woke up to sounds of pounding of my doors at afternoon 1:00pm. I saw my love through security cameras and opened the door via security lock. My wife dashed in and requested to have a look at the report. I took a quick shower and changed into a Brioni three piece suit with white shirt, light grey waistcoat and black jacket. I completed the look with dark black trousers and shoes from the same company. Half an hour later my sensei along with his wife with their daughters and Yamanaka Ino. A few minutes later Neji arrived. After dinner, Iruka and I broke the news and I gave only second report for Neji to confirm it. I still didn't let anyone know the assassination attempt on Ryohei to anyone. Neji's face went blank for few minutes and then to disbelief. After a few moments first time I saw him give a genuine smile. He confirmed the findings of the lady and spent few minutes in self-loathing for not exhausting every option. Even Mito smiled and after exchanging drinks, they announced their leave. I held back Neji and my wife left to hospital to see our son and probably thank the doctor for giving us hope.
Now forcing all the emotions aside, I kept a blank mask on my face (not that anyone could tell with my trustworthy ever present mask on my face) I ordered Neji to follow me into my office. He got the hint that it might be mob business and silently followed me. Sasuke is scheduled to arrive in half an hour.
Neji's POV
Early this morning, I received a message from our present leader Hatake Kakashi. He is a bit of odd person. At early to mid thirties he is an extremely powerful person who controls the entire media all around the continent. He could place the crown or dethrone any person in any position in city by subtle manipulation of news and words. A tall man with swimmer's build, sharp dark black eyes and silver hair. His public personality is that of laid back, incorrigible pervert who reads porn in public(Well the incorrigible pervert was part of his real personality) but to us he is most calculative but caring, doesn't throw stones at every dog but destroys every threat before it reaches us. He has a son and a daughter whom I love with every fibre of my being even though I might deny it. His fiancée was actually one of the best trained members of the Syndicate and first person who rejected his advances. An extremely kind and beautiful lady with mocha honey coloured eyes and dark chocolate brown hair. She received the scar trying to protect her comrade from line of fire. She continued her services to the Syndicate except during time when she's pregnant. She was an orphan as her parents were killed during the war that broke between Iwa and Konaha. Adopted by the Syndicate she grew up to be one of the most trusted and efficient members.
Ryohei to me was a little brother I never had. His sister Amaya, reminds me too much of my cousin in personality, was shy wallflower and her looks were clearly dominated by her mother. But instead of being harsh on her like that of asshole of my uncle, Kakashi always showered her with love and affection. She was bubbly around her friends but new faces always make her feel nervous. I quickly banished any thoughts of my cousin who was more like a mother to me, I never spent much time around Amaya (because of her same personality with my cousin the only person who took care of me before she disappeared from all our lives) compared to Ryohei to whom I grew attached with too much.
So when he was diagnosed with jaundice we tried to give best treatment and care for the child. But his little body was unresponsive to any treatment and meds. We brought our best doctors from all around the world and I personally overviewed every stage of his treatment. I drove towards his billion dollar house wearing my favourite deep blue Loro Piana suit, white shirt and blue and red striped tie, blue trousers and finally brown cap toe shoes.
By the time I reached his place our previous leader Namikaze Minato have arrived with his wife Namikaze Terumi Mei. He is a tall man in his late forties with sunshine blond hair and cerulean blue eyes with stress marks on his face and with few greying hairs. A serious man who was said to be once highly cheerful now rarely smiles outside the presence of the children and family. Currently wearing a dark grey Hermes suit with light blue linen shirt and grey and blue striped tie. With dark grey trousers and black Oxford shoes he looked imposing.
He had three children Namikaze Menma, Namikaze Mito and Namikaze Natsumi. Mito and Menma are twins an year younger than me at twenty six years and Natsumi, my stuck up cousin Hanabi and the idiot grandson of our third leader Konohamaru are of same age at twenty years.
Terumi Mei actually isn't part of Konoha. She was Kiri royalty who was engaged to our Hokage in arranged marriage to strengthen ties between Konaha and Kiri and our support in overthrowing their tyrannical fourth Mizukage. A beautiful and graceful woman with green eyes and red hair and peach coloured skin, she takes care of our foreign relationship with other families. A typical housewife, as all wives of syndicate members to the public, she is major adviser to the Syndicate and highly respected member. She was wearing a full sleeved cream shirt with charcoal black plaid skirt and dark blue overcoat from Gucci.
Namikaze Mito was to simply put a ruthless business lady. With Amazonian features cold blue eyes and dark red hair standing at a height of five foot nine inches, she and her friend Yamanaka Ino,, overlooks the fashion industry in the country. Currently dating Uchiha Itachi she was the mob's strategist with Shikamaru Nara and one of our best fighters. She was wearing a ink green spaghetti sleeveless top from Chanel which reached her knees she looked stunning with peach coloured skin with hair up in a ponytail, she had an unapproachable cold air around her.
Yamanaka Ino our fashion savvy member is also one of the best interrogators in our family. A business partner with Namikaze Mito is the main designer of their company. With ashen blond hair and pale eyes and with height of five foot nine inches and Amazon like her partner. Currently dating Shimura Sai, Ino was our main designer and our interrogation specialist. She probably might be next co-head of T&I with Mitarashi Anko. Was a shopping freak with confident air, she was currently wearing a Prada purple high collared purple top showing her midriff and ankle length skirt, she was a blunt person who speaks her mind without any hesitation.
Namikaze Natsumi has same features to that of her sister except for her eyes which she inherited from her mother. They are sometimes mistaken for twins with same height and build . Currently pursuing her masters degree in business administration at a small age, she has a bright and perceptive personality. A prodigy of sorts was talented in business administration. She was rumoured to take over mob finances after her father stepped down. She was dating Sarutobi Konohamaru as I mentioned above an idiot but our best hacker and weapons specialist. With height of six foot one inch, the brat was hot headed with non existent diplomacy. His shoot first ask questions later attitude caused few troubles for Sasuke who as punishment forced him off the field duty to a desk job of completing all his paperwork. She wore little conservative dress with high collared violet full sleeved shirt and white leggings from Dior.
If Namikaze – san is here it might be a personal matter. After all when Kakashi's father died in the mob wars, Namikaze-san adopted him and they both had almost father son relationship. I thought it might have something to do with Ryohei. I waited patiently over hospitable and pleasant dinner Kakashi broke the news that the cause of kid's illness was found by our new doctor. I for a reason knew that the girl was not scheduled to work till today and she was no child specialist. She is an emergency surgeon who deals with cardiologist issues. We usually do not employ any persons outside the mob trained members who have high standard teaching but her resume is even better than our standards. She was only outdone by myself, Senju Shizune and Haruno Sakura our best medics. With no choice but to offer the job as our eldest and best members of our hospital Senju Tsunade left the Syndicate after the death of her brother and her husband. So even though sceptical I looked over the records done by the recruit. And I know for a reason that Hatake-san wouldn't let any doctor look over his child without my permission.
The first thing I looked over at is the ultrasound of the Ryohei which we never bothered to perform. It showed a tumour very much near the kid's liver. Then I understood how our arrogance and negligence which prolonged the suffering of the kid. This is once a benign tumour which now turned malignant. It was steadily growing towards main artery. I read the report by the doctor who said that there is a high chance of cutting the artery during removal, the reason for why she suggested a willing person of same blood group. For first time I felt idiotic for not exhausting our every option. I wanted to rush back to the hospital and start searching for every possible donor but was stopped by Hatake-san. By seeing the seriousness on his face I refrained from saying anything. After all of them left Hatake-san brought his laptop and showed me surveillance and the report, I drew deep gulps to abate my growing hate and anger. Sasuke arrived half an hour later and Kakashi took few other files and started playing them.
The first file showed us every information we had on Gato enterprises. Despite our questionable morals we never got involved with human trafficking and never used humans as lab rats. This fucker was deep in these businesses. Gato enterprises was once called Nami constructions, once led by Kaiza and his father in law Tazuna who was known to be best architect of all time. Gato entered the company as a shareholder and conspired against Kaiza with help of other members of the board. He murdered Kaiza and took over the company. He had his co-conspirators killed and took Kaiza's wife and his child hostage and made the old man design for the construction if he didn't want the woman be sold to prostitution and child to slavery.
All the former members of the company are forced to perform work for free and on monthly basis they are forced to pay some amount to let their family members free. No person knew where he got his money from but he had at least five hundred goons working under his orders. We assumed that the person who is helping him at top of chain was helping his finances. There are many persons who are rumoured to be killed by Gato after difficult job.
After the introduction of Gato enterprises Hatake-san opened few other files. One of them showed the attack on my cousin, another showing Konohamaru's accident and finally the video of assassination attempt on Ryohei.
"So what do you make out of these videos?" He asked us calmly staring into space.
"Nothing except that the fellow had help of our top order members and trying to dethrone us. He is currently targeting our next generation." Sasuke answered him. His voice was calm but his eyes tell us a different story. He was barely controlling his temper and was hair width away from killing the bastard (a sentiment shared by both of us). I shook my head when he asked if I have anything to add.
"This shows us that there was a illegal slave trade and human trafficking along with almost an army within ranks of Konoha we had no idea of." He replied. Seeing our quizzical expression he continued "This man initially didn't have any money and was greediest person in the world. He is unwilling to spend a dime on any person other than himself. Clearly evidenced by the idiots he sent to kill our heirs. No Konoha soldier would kill any other person except the said killer or victim is a traitor. The members he employed to held persons captive are highly trained mercs. They were made to believe that Konoha too dabbles in the shit even by our standards are unforgivable and are trained to only answer the upper members. As they cannot be ordered to kill our children Gato hired some low class idiotic mercs as Hanabi was able to handle with ease and how a mere civilian overpowered him saving my child." He completed.
The implications of those words made us stunned. The Gato bastard was nothing but a puppet and Gato enterprises was mask of atrocities some upper members of Konoha were performing behind our backs. Only the construction bullshit was done by Gato but rest of them was by proxy done by the Syndicate. The members of Gato enterprises are none except the Syndicate unknown members.
If what he said was true one of our most important guidelines of our pact are broken. First and foremost no civilian is to be harmed. Second no woman and child even if they are associated with mob are not to be harmed or forced into anything and given quick death. The unknown bastard could spike a world war if the truth was revealed. This is the same reason the fourth Mizukage was dethroned. The bastard was killed because he supported slavery and forced prostitution and skin trade. After him Zabuza Momochi in his place. If the word travelled to other families there would be hell to pay.
Sasuke must have realised this as he paled slightly before composing himself. He made a call to his secretary and ordered her to cancel all his appointments for at least three weeks. He made calls to other friends before ordering them to come at his place and call off all their previous appointments. I got the hint and called the hospital to relay Haruno Sakura to oversee the operation and recommended Senju Shizune and Minatsu Ichiraku for conducting the operation.
Hopefully what we may learn is wrong but we may have to kill our own parents if they are guilty of this crime. It is a tough call but we couldn't risk a civil war or worse international war because of few idiots decision.
And that's a wrap. Please review to let me know your thoughts.
