Flames set the surrounding forest ablaze as two masked me fought, each aiming to kill the other. Four tentacle like creatures wearing different colored masks blasted elemental jutsu at the black masked fellow, narrowly missing him.
The man dodged each attack while maintaining an offensive against his target, not letting up for a second as they exchanged blows.
The elemental masked figures banded together, intent on firing a wide range multi elemental attack at the man when he suddenly disappeared.
A millisecond later, the four masks were cut in half by a pure white blade, clattering to the ground. The creatures behind the mask fell limply to the ground and dissolved into a pile of worm like things.
The man who had been on the defensive felt a sharp pain through his last remaining heart and looked down.
Protruding through his chest and heart, was that same white blade that had destroyed his other hearts. Turning his head back, a black mask with white tear troughs below the eyes was the last thing he saw.
And thus Kakazu of Taki, the man who had failed to Assassinate the First Hokage when the villages first came into existence, died at 104 years old.
His killer sliced off his head and sealed it into a scroll. After looting the body and finding a large amount of scrolls, he burnt what was left and disappeared from the scene.
He stopped in a gambling town hours later to eat and rest before continuing back home. Removing his mask and changing into normal clothing, he changed his face and hair up a bit with a simple henge and entered the town.
Walking around for a bit, he found a bar that sold cheap food and liquor and went in. The place was lively enough, some customers singing and dancing drunkenly.
He scanned the room, checking for any abnormalities and finding a spot to sit. In the back right corner were three woman, a blonde, a brunette and a redhead eating and drinking.
He recognized the blonde woman, but not the other two. Tsunade Senju, the last remaining member of the Senju clan.
If she was here then the Brunette must be her student, Shizune. The redheaded woman eluded him however, he hadn't seen her that he could remember.
The trio were beautiful in their own rights, but that had nothing to do with him. Afterall, no one would ever love a monster like him.
The beautiful redhead made eye contact with him before smiling at him. He smiled back, appraising her with a thoughtful eye.
He made his way to the back left of the room and sat down at a empty table. Soon a waitress came over and took his order, ramen with a bottle of cheap sake.
She nodded her head, accepting his order before taking it to the cook. It didn't take long for for the food and sake to get to him.
He took his time eating it, listening to the conversations around him as he ate and drank. Places like this were information gold mines.
He left an hour later after paying, noticing he was being followed by two seperate groups. He kept walking, looking for a hotel to stay the night.
He stepped into a side alley and disappeared, watching as a group of thugs rounded the corner. They froze when they noticed he was gone and ran away quickly, it wasn't worth their lives messing with a Shinobi.
The crouched Naruto felt three presences appear behind him, making him turn his head.
The trio of beauties stood behind him, two with their arms crossed under generous busts while the third held a pig with a pearl necklace.
Tsunade eyed him warily as she spoke. "Who are you and what are you doing here? We noticed you looking at us when you entered the bar, who sent you to spy on us?"
He stood up and turned around, flashing ANBU hand signs as he spoke.
"My name is of little concern to you and I have no qualms or intentions with you and your companions. I simply stopped for food after a long day on my way back home."
His hand signs told a different story to the trio. "Konoha ANBU, returning after a successful mission. Don't dispel my henge, my identity is a secret."
The trio relaxed, nodding their heads clearly understanding the message. The redhead spoke up.
"If you're looking for a cheap inn, the one we are at isn't bad and has decent rates for a night. It's near the edge of town too."
He nodded and gestured for them to lead the way, following their lead. The pig made a few oinks which the brunette responded too, the man barely heard the response.
"It's okay Ton-Ton, he kinda scares me too but he's an ally." He shook his head at this and reached into his jacket, pulling out a fruit and nut bar.
He offered it to the pig who sniffed it before looking at him confused. He smiled slightly.
"Take it as a peace offering, I mean you and your group no harm, we are members of the same village afterall."
The pig thought about it before eating the bar happily. The trio watched his every move, smiling when he interacted with Ton-Ton.
The rest of the trip was made in silence and they soon parted ways at the hotel. The man's eyes following their plump rears as they walked up the stairs.
He booked a room for the night and entered it. After a quick shower he laid in the bed and was nearly asleep when he heard a knock on the door.
Grabbing a kunai, he walked to the door naked and cracked it open. On the other side was the redhead from earlier wearing a sheer nightie and a smile.
"May I come in? I figured after the way we exchanged glances earlier at the bar you were interested" she said with a wink.
He grinned and opened the door, revealing his nakedness as she stepped in. They barely got any sleep that night, definitely pissing off the other tenants with their noise.
The next morning he was gone before sunrise and making good time back to the village. At this rate he'd be back in two days time.
Two days later at nightfall, he entered the Village through a ANBU entrance, his gear back on him. As he walked through the underground Anbu complex, his comrades nodded there heads or saluted him.
He was soon under the Hokage Tower and made his way to the Hokage Office. The secretary looked up and sent a message to the Hokage as she smiled at him.
"How's are things going Spectre, any issues on your mission?" He shook his head no. "Nope but I ran into Lady Tsunade and her apprentice and travelling companion. You definitely missed out on three beautiful rears."
The assistant smiled lecherously at that, she was bisexual and a pervert, two facts few people knew about her.
She leaned forward, her shirt hung towards the table giving him a nice view of her cleavage as she asked him a question.
He didn't answer, his brain otherwise occupied until she cleared her throat. "Sorry, I was distracted. What's you say?"
She giggled at that. "I said did you sleep with any of them or see them naked?" He shook his head no.
"Maybe one of them. She was definitely our type too, big tits, wide hips and a slappable ass. I got maybe an hours sleep before I had to leave."
He wouldn't have minded sleeping with her again if the chance arose. Outside the village, no one knew who he was, meaning he could casually hook up with woman.
Inside the village was a different story. If he even showed his face, a riot would ensue. He was hated here by the populace afterall.
Just then the door opened and out walked the Ino-Shika-Cho clan heads who nodded at him as they passed. He nodded back and was told to enter by one of the four Anbu that exited the room.
Anything to do with Spectre was a private affair, be it briefings or debriefings. There was no official records for him either, just a his code name and a list of his achievements.
Only the third Hokage knew his real identity. Closing the door behind him, a barrier immediately sealed the room.
He sat down in the chair Infront of the desk as he waited for the Hokage to finish packing and lighting his pipe.
After a few puffs he spoke.
"So Naruto, how did your mission go?"
