Hashirama, meanwhile, put his feet back on the table and gazed out at the bright, beautiful scenery outside the large window in front of him.
"An Uchiha, allying with me... what crazy memories." Hashirama spoke to himself, remembering the last time he allied with a member of the Uchiha clan during his reign, giving rise to the history we know today.
[On the Streets of Tengu (Shopping Center) (Near Gonpachi Temaki's Restaurant) - 2:05 PM]
Okay, I'm in a very busy place... it looks like a kind of shopping center that is very similar to the market stalls in Konoha.
The difference is that here, there is a much wider variety of products and food... however, they just don't sell ninja equipment for Gennins in this place.
"This Kento Nanami suit will make me look completely unsuspicious to anyone who is trying to investigate me... because it will make me look like an employee of a finance company."
The only drawback of this men's suit at the moment is that the local temperature is very high... the heat makes my face sweat more than a child crying over spilled milk.
But I have to stay focused on the mission... besides, the amount of yen I have isn't that much, since I paid Dopinder a few hours ago and also paid the first installment of the cooking course.

When I look at my bank statement to see how much money has been deducted from my account, I realize that the amounts aren't that high... this news relieves me greatly.
However, my peripheral vision catches sight of a poster stuck on a pole near a fabric store. And when I pick up that poster, I notice something surprising.
"Open positions at Osborn Industries for specialized scientists... this smells like good clues to me." As I put the envelope in my pocket, I continue on my way to where Hashirama asked me to go.
A few minutes ago, Hashirama sent me the location of one of the restricted-access laboratories so that I could break in and find information on the whereabouts of the current leader of the I.M.A.
However, I would need to set up an ambush near the location where one of the employees works in that sector... after that, I can attack him since the lab's hours of operation are until 2:00 AM.
"Do you bleed?" I ask myself in a very low tone, looking ahead as my hand crumples the small paper poster in my hand.
- Creeeeec...
"You will bleed, leader." My right hand throws the crumpled paper behind me into the trash can, landing perfectly in the hole.
[Osborn Industries Laboratory (On the street) (Inside a white van) - 1:49 AM]
"Perimeter clear... there are no people walking around this area and the cars around are all turned off with no drivers." I spoke quietly into the walkie-talkie to Hashirama, who was on top of a building near where my van was.
"Okay, no need to turn on your cell phone... it will be four minutes before 2:00 a.m. when we take action."
Hashirama recommended not turning on the cell phone due to fatal circumstances, as they could get our location with it... keeping it turned off is the best option, especially since it is a secondary device registered in someone else's name for an easier escape.
"I never thought I'd be doing any escort work again, especially with Hashirama giving orders..." A little surprised by this, I wasn't used to knowing that I would be entering the world to do an escort mission.
With one minute and five seconds to go, one of the employees begins to turn off some lights inside the supposed Osborn laboratory, opening the door with keys that were coated in platinum metal.
The scientist headed toward one of the alleys near where he left the laboratory.
"Okay, Itachi, it's time to act... now." Hashirama gives the command and I obey by opening the van door.
With light and quick steps, I walk towards the scientist who was wandering innocently, his steps heavy and tired after a lot of work being done in that laboratory.
And with stealthy skill, I grab him by the neck and take him to an alley next door where I could have some light to see him better.
"Stay there... or this Kunai will go through your neck." I whispered that while keeping my blade close to his neck at all times and began to put my hands on his pocket.
"W-who are you... what do you want from me?" The scientist asked, fear on his face and disappointed that he wasn't armed for situations like this.
I take out the platinum-coated keys and quickly cut his neck and pierce his head to kill him once and for all without a slow and painful death.
"It's unfortunate that you took this path..." I looked at him for a few seconds as I put him in a dumpster.
"Scientist successfully killed, I have the keys." I communicated with Hashirama on the walkie-talkie, and he called back immediately.
"Great job, Itachi."
Hashirama gave a thumbs up with his right hand from the top of the building, and I could clearly see his exaggerated smile.
With the keys in hand, I open the lab door and close it so I can begin a basic investigation.
"I need a box of documents, where could it be?" I wondered as I searched through some cabinets around the room.
Next to a computer with two monitors, I opened the cabinet below and there were the documents and records of some employees who worked in this sector with their respective shifts.
Looking at each sheet, I saw the names and personal information of each one... but that wasn't what interested me.
That's when I found what answered my question, and I was right.
[Confidential Document by I.M.A]
- Most of our sectors are camouflaged with the names of other laboratory companies, facilitating infiltration within the government. Records and signatures of various owners have been exchanged for quasi-nuclear weapons, all so that you can do your work quietly and maintain complete secrecy. All authorized employees must be armed, if not... expect to hunt for your life.

"I knew it... they are camouflaging their own name for silent domination, all companies have allied themselves with I.M.A, but who would have had this idea?"
When I looked at the signature on the confidential document of the person who created this, I took a photo and saved it on my cell phone.
Putting the documents back in their proper place, I showed the signature of the creator below.
