Chapter 48 - [CHAPTER 48] Kakashi's Financial Advising, The Art of Forced Donations

With Zabuza and Haku's lead, Kakashi went to Gato's hideout. Though he called it a hideout, it was actually a huge opulent mansion, which itself screamed "giant mansion of rich asshole."

Outside, many of his men were stationed, and Zabuza walked forward to ask if Gato was present; upon hearing the answer, he moved back to Kakashi, who was at some distance.

Zabuza said, "Gato is currently inside his room."

Kakashi nodded and said, "Then let's first take down all these minions of his from outside without making any sound."

Zabuza and Haku nodded.

"Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!"

Haku, with a single hand seal, with his swift agility, moved around the mansion, silently killing every hired goon of Gato with numerous sharp needles, in their pressure points.

Zabuza also wasn't to be left behind, swinging his massive blade, which Kakashi returned, reaping lives of countless minions of Gato from outside, without making any sound. His huge Kubikiribōchō moved like a grim reaper's scythe, harvesting the souls of hired goons and samurais.

They then moved inside the mansion, continuing to take down any hired mercenary of Gato, to finally enter the room at second floor, where Gato was, seated on his large chair, lazily napping, unaware that all his hired goons were long gone. The moment Kakashi slammed open the door, and entered with Zabuza and Haku, Gato jolted awake.

"Who?!"

Gato having shaggy brown hair, his hands immediately moved towards the desk around his chair, to pick up his small, circular black glasses. He didn't bother getting up, just moved his chair, and glanced at Zabuza and Haku, also at Kakashi.

"Oh, it's just you."

Gato sneered, turning his chair back to the open window side, didn't bother to glance at them again. He was indeed a businessman, especially his attire of a black suit, purple tie and closed-toed shoes, however his short frame barely made him look imposing to anyone who saw him.

Gato spoke, his voice dripping with arrogance, as he asked impatiently, "Did you complete the job? Kill that bridge builder, um, Tazuna was maybe his name? And who is that person with you, with single red eye, tell him to close his this eye as well, he is making me feel strange."

Zabuza plainly replied, "No, we didn't."

"What? You Failed?" Gato shouted, still didn't turn back, "I paid you a lot of money and you still failed? I knew it, you are nothing but a bunch of losers!"

Kakashi snorted, "Where did this piece of shit, find the nerve to talk like that?"

Gato, hearing Kakashi, growled, turned back, but still lounging in his chair, said with anger, "Huh! Say that again! You son of—"

Bang!

He didn't get to finish before a kick landed on his face, sending him flying, and crushing him out of the window, but Kakashi caught him up by his collar, preventing him from falling, his dark glasses broken and fell.

"Look outside, what do you see?"

Kakashi said, forcing Gato's head to turn from to down, outside his mansion. Gato stiffened, seeing all his hired mercenaries were lying lifeless, in a sea of blood, many were even frozen.

"Hey You two! Kill him!"

Gato immediately turned his head to Zabuza and Haku, who didn't move an inch. Zabuza simply sneered, crossed his arms, he also was quite dissatisfied by Gato's attitude towards him all the time.

Gato's face paled, he was smart enough to understand that they are no longer working for him, and betrayed him.

Kakashi then said with a calm voice, "You are quite knowledgeable, for a businessman obviously, so you should know what a ninja are capable of! And yet this is how you spoke to them."

Gato, scared shitless, more than half of his body was outside of the window, from his room on the two-story mansion, if he fell, he might not die, but his physical state wouldn't be any good.

He asked, stammering, "W-what do you want?"

Kakashi, staring in Gato's eyes with his Red Sharingan Eye, making Gato even more scared of Kakashi.

"You are either ignorant or just an idiot to be talking down to the infamous Demon of Hidden Mist, whose name alone sends shivers down spines of many."

Kakashi then smirked, though it was hidden under his face mask, however Gato could still feel that Kakashi was grinning at him.

"As a businessman, you are quite rich, and coincidentally, I like money, so how about you being a smart ass businessman, hand over all the cash you have to me?"

"W-what did y-you..."

Gato's anger flared a little, his money, Kakashi was simply asking him to hand over his money. However, panic flickered in his eyes, the situation he was in, if Kakashi let go of his collar, he would fall down.

Death may not come; but broken bones and dislocated limbs, are guaranteed.

Despite that, he still forced himself to act tough, and said, "Hmph! Dream On. You will never—"

Gato tried to sound imposing, the big shot he thinks he is, but Kakashi stopped smiling, and immediately took out a kunai from his Inventory Seal, grabbed it in his left hand and cut off the fingers of Gato's right hand before he could complete his sentence.

"Aaaagghhhhhhh!!!"

Gato screamed in agony, the tough act he tried to use, thinking can intimidate Kakashi, backfired on him.
