CHAPTER 60: S.A.A.H.O.'S NEW THREAT
The Discovery of NGTNI
The sun blazed over the deserts of Texas, casting long shadows across the dry, cracked earth. The endless stretch of sand was not as quiet as it appeared. Hidden beneath the dunes, a deadly secret was about to be unearthed—one that would send ripples through the world of organized crime and global security.
S.A.A.H.O.’s Team Beta, renowned for their expertise in intelligence gathering and reconnaissance, had long been tasked with tracking the Tori no Ichizoku Clan across the globe. But during one of their operations, a shift in the wind brought something unexpected—something far darker and more dangerous.
While tracking a separate group of criminals who had taken refuge in the barren desert, Beta operatives uncovered a series of highly sophisticated underground bunkers—strange, heavily fortified structures that had never been seen before in this part of the world. As they infiltrated deeper into the complex network, they discovered evidence of a new cartel, one unlike any they had ever encountered.
The discovery was momentous: the New Generation Tori no Ichizoku Cartel (NGTNI) had established a foothold in America, and they were rapidly growing in power and influence. This organization, birthed from the twisted mind of Dr. Machinist, had spread its tendrils across the globe with one goal: total domination. They operated from the shadows, executing their ruthless plans with precision and lethal force.
Team Beta’s initial report was staggering. They learned that the NGTNI was not only a cartel but a multi-faceted criminal empire with operations spanning from drug trafficking and human trafficking to arms dealing and psychological warfare. What made the NGTNI particularly dangerous was their method of recruitment: they didn’t just recruit criminals—they reprogrammed them.
The operatives in the NGTNI were not born criminals but were instead victims of brutal experimentation, broken down and reformed through torture, psychological conditioning, and a terrifyingly invasive process that erased any sense of morality or compassion. These were cold-blooded killers, devoid of any human empathy, shaped into the perfect instruments of terror and destruction.
----------------------------------------
THE RISING THREAT
The consequences of Team Beta’s findings were immediate. Within days, reports flooded in from all over the world about sudden, unexplained disappearances. People were vanishing in the shadows, whole families swept away without a trace. Those who were left behind spoke of the same terrifying phenomenon: the NGTNI.
The world now had a new and pressing threat on its hands. The NGTNI had infiltrated the Americas, and they were poised to launch a reign of terror that would surpass anything seen before. Unlike traditional cartels, they didn’t rely solely on drugs or weapons—they specialized in a much darker art: total annihilation. Their focus was on creating chaos, erasing entire bloodlines, and ensuring that no trace of their operations could ever be uncovered.
S.A.A.H.O. was thrown into crisis mode. The discovery of NGTNI meant that the organization, which had been largely concerned with the Tori no Ichizoku Clan, now had to face an even more insidious enemy.
THE UNVEILING OF NGTNI
In an unprecedented move, S.A.A.H.O.’s Team Alpha was immediately dispatched to assess the situation. Armed with military-grade weaponry and state-of-the-art technology, they embarked on a covert mission to infiltrate NGTNI’s base of operations in the Texas desert. Their goal: to gather as much intelligence as possible and take down the threat before it could spread beyond the borders of the Americas.
As Team Alpha approached the site, they could see the signs of the NGTNI’s brutal tactics. Desert camps had been abandoned in haste, but the faint scent of death lingered in the air. Traces of torture and violent killings were evident in the remnants of the makeshift medical facilities the NGTNI had used to reprogram their recruits.
The NGTNI’s operations were larger and more sophisticated than anyone could have imagined. As the team gathered intelligence, they found evidence that the cartel was linked to global arms dealers and had begun to make alliances with rogue states and corrupt government officials. The NGTNI was no longer just a cartel—it was a global threat, capable of destabilizing entire regions, creating chaos at a scale that S.A.A.H.O. had never faced before.
THE WORLD REACTS
The news of the NGTNI’s existence spread quickly, shaking governments and security agencies around the world. As the South American Anti-Hero Organization (S.A.A.H.O.) began to share their findings, it became clear that the cartel’s reach was more extensive than anyone had anticipated. They had infiltrated not only the Americas but were beginning to spread their influence into Europe and Asia as well.
S.A.A.H.O., already battling the remnants of the Tori no Ichizoku Clan, now had to contend with an enemy that was well-funded, ruthless, and well-organized. The NGTNI’s operatives were spread across multiple continents, their existence hidden behind a web of disappearances, false identities, and encrypted communications. They were no longer just a criminal organization—they had become a shadow army capable of toppling governments and bringing entire nations to their knees.
S.A.A.H.O.'S RESPONSE
In response to this new threat, S.A.A.H.O. issued a formal declaration of war against the NGTNI. All three teams—Alpha, Gamma, and Beta—were mobilized for a global operation aimed at eradicating the cartel before they could spread further.
Team Alpha would focus on high-risk strikes, infiltrating the NGTNI’s main hubs of operation, and dismantling their leadership structure. Team Gamma would work to uncover any remaining NGTNI cells within major cities, dismantling their criminal infrastructure from the inside out. Team Beta would continue their intelligence-gathering missions, uncovering the cartel’s hidden camps and uncovering more about their methods and network.
The world now stood on the brink of a new, terrifying conflict. A war unlike anything seen before. The NGTNI was a criminal empire with the power to control nations, and it would take the combined efforts of global powers and organizations like S.A.A.H.O. to stop them.

But the question remained: How far would the NGTNI go to see their vision realized? And more importantly, who would survive the coming storm?
The Kurushimi Brother's Reactions'
The news of the NGTNI’s rise in the Americas spread like wildfire, and the four brothers reacted in their own distinct ways.
Martin Kurushimi, ever the calm and calculating figure, leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowed as he processed the information. The NGTNI were just another problem to analyze, another puzzle to solve. His mind whirred, dissecting every piece of intel, searching for weaknesses, looking for a strategy. There was no fear in his demeanor—just an unsettling calmness as he prepared for the inevitable. He knew that this was a fight that could be won, but it had to be done with precision. And he would be the one to make sure the attack was surgical, nothing left to chance. The NGTNI would be dealt with, just like all the others before them—methodically, quietly, and with unrelenting focus.
Krishna Kurushimi, on the other hand, felt the fury burn within him the moment he heard of the cartel’s existence. His hand slammed against the table, sending a jolt through the room as he stood, rage and violence radiating from every pore. To him, the NGTNI represented everything he hated—the unchecked abuse of power, the torment of the innocent, and the ruthless slaughter of those who could not defend themselves. It ignited a fire within him that no amount of restraint could quench. His fists clenched, his jaw tight, and the rage toxin in his veins only amplified the storm brewing inside him. He didn’t care about strategies or plans—he wanted them dead, and he wanted them dead now. No mercy, no hesitation.
Temna Kurushimi, ever the quiet observer, remained silent, his eyes narrowing in thought. He had lived through enough battles to know that rash decisions led to failure, and Krishna’s thirst for vengeance was a volatile thing. As his brothers raged around him, Temna remained calm, but there was a storm brewing inside him as well. He would wait, carefully assessing the situation, gathering information before making his move. His sniper’s mind worked quickly, mentally plotting the most efficient way to neutralize the NGTNI threat from the shadows. He knew that brute force alone wouldn’t be enough. Precision was key, and he would be the one to make sure that the enemy never saw him coming. But that would come later—first, they needed to understand the full scope of this enemy.
Takashi Kurushimi leaned against the wall, his arms crossed as he listened to the reports. His cocky grin never wavered, though there was a flicker of interest in his eyes. The NGTNI sounded like just another dangerous organization, but Takashi wasn’t one to jump into a fight without seeing if there was a way to turn the tables in his favor. He wasn’t as quick to anger as Krishna, nor as calculating as Martin, but he knew how to use his charm, his wits, and his unorthodox approach to get things done. The NGTNI might be a big deal, but Takashi was always looking for a way to make things work on his terms. He would play it cool, gather intel, and find the angle that allowed him to strike when the time was right. He might not be the first one into the fight, but he would make damn sure he’d have the last word.
The four brothers, though each driven by their own motivations, knew that the NGTNI was a threat that would require all of them to face it head-on. Martin would plan, Krishna would destroy, Temna would strike from the shadows, and Takashi would find the path to victory that no one else saw. Together, they would dismantle the cartel, but not before they decided how best to make it burn.
The Meeting
The dimly lit room was heavy with tension as the four Kurushimi brothers gathered around a worn wooden table. Each of them had come to this moment in their own way, their paths shaped by years of brutality and bloodshed. The reports on the NGTNI’s rise had left an undeniable mark on all of them, and now, they were here, forced to confront a threat bigger than any they’d faced before.
Martin was the first to speak, his voice calm and precise, cutting through the silence like a blade. "We’ve faced monsters before, but this cartel… they’re not like the others. They’re organized, meticulous. Their reach is vast. We can’t just charge in headfirst and hope for the best."
Krishna’s eyes flared with barely contained rage. "Who the hell cares about how they’re organized? We go in, we wipe them out, and we show them that no one gets away with this kind of power." His fist slammed onto the table, rattling the empty glasses. "These bastards think they’re untouchable. Let’s prove them wrong."
Temna, sitting quietly across from his brothers, didn’t respond immediately. His eyes flickered to the map on the table, tracing the known locations of the cartel’s activities. His hand rested lightly on his throwing knives, fingers itching for the precision only he could deliver. “Charging in blindly will get us killed,” he said, his tone cool and deliberate. "We need to know everything about them. Their operations, their structure, their weaknesses. We strike only when we’re certain of our plan.”
Takashi leaned back in his chair, grinning despite the gravity of the situation. “Everyone always wants to make things complicated,” he said, his voice dripping with a mix of sarcasm and confidence. “Why not just let Krishna do his thing? Let him tear through them while we mop up the leftovers.”
Martin shot Takashi a sharp look, his patience thinning. "You’re underestimating them. If we play this wrong, we lose more than just the battle. We lose everything." His eyes shifted between his brothers. "We need a strategy. A real plan."
Krishna clenched his jaw but didn’t argue. His thirst for revenge was palpable, but even he knew that running in without thinking could be fatal. Still, the rage simmered inside him, a storm that couldn’t be quelled easily.
Temna spoke again, his voice unwavering. “We’ll gather intelligence first. Beta can handle the initial recon. I’ll focus on isolating the weakest link, find their supply lines, their leaders, and we hit them where they’re vulnerable.” His eyes turned to Krishna. "You can destroy them, but not until we know how to do it without losing everything."
Krishna met his brother’s gaze, his jaw tightening in silent agreement. He wasn’t happy about it, but Temna’s plan made sense. As much as he wanted to dive into the fray and rip apart the NGTNI with his bare hands, he understood the need for precision.
Takashi finally spoke, his voice cool and measured. “I’ll take care of the diplomacy. We’ll get some info from the right sources, maybe work the right angles, get inside without making a big scene. If there’s anyone I can charm, it’s these bastards.”
Martin nodded, his mind already working through the logistics. "We move as a unit. Each of us plays our part. If one of us falters, the whole plan fails. The NGTNI won’t be a simple kill. They’re a network, a beast that’s been growing for decades. We need to be smarter than them, faster, and without mercy."
Krishna leaned forward, his hands curling into fists. "Then let’s be the storm that breaks their bones. I want them gone. Every last one of them."
The room fell silent for a moment, each brother lost in their own thoughts, the weight of their shared history and the looming threat of the NGTNI hanging heavily in the air. They all knew the stakes. They were brothers, bound not just by blood but by the shared purpose of taking down those who dared to challenge them.
Martin looked up first, his expression hardening into something like stone. “Then it’s settled. We strike, but we strike with precision. No mistakes.”
Temna, as always, was the first to rise. “I’ll begin the groundwork. You’ll know where to hit when the time comes.”
Krishna stood with a vicious grin spreading across his face. “And when that time comes, they’ll regret ever breathing.”
Takashi pushed off from the table, the cocky smirk never leaving his face. “Let’s make it interesting, brothers. These guys won’t know what hit them.”
Together, they left the room, their steps heavy with purpose. The NGTNI had made a grave mistake in challenging the Kurushimi brothers. And now, they would face the consequences.
