In a dark, and shady room in Port City, a nurse was treating a scarred man. The old building was devoid of all light as all the windows were covered to make the insides of the building more secretive.
The only source of light in the shady room was a lamp which barely gave enough luminance to illuminate the figure who was lying on a bed with bandages wrapped around his lower torso.
"FUCK! How long will it take you, YOU DAMN WHORE?." Amabake Enitsu cursed his luck for being this injured.
His lower body was burnt to crisp, leaving only charred skin and blisters. His chest had stab marks courtesy of Gizensha Sho, a military executive in Mizu.
"Pl-Please don't move. You will reopen the stitches." the nurse whispered, her voice was trembling, she was pale as she dressed all the wounds with shaking hands.
"ARE YOU ordering me? Just do YOUR DAMN JOB" the man rumbled as he slapped the nurse, making her almost fall.
Her cheek now had a red slap mark. She bit her lip to stifle a cry and lowered her head as she silently continued to change all the wound dressings of the man.
She cursed her fate for being captured by this man. She was just a normal nurse who had come with her son to Port City for a vacation, how her fate was twisted to such an extent, she did not know.
She and her son were attacked. Her son was held hostage, and here she was treating the leader of the man who had attacked them.
Just then, the sounds of footsteps were heard making her momentarily stop. Two more bandits had now entered the room, they were wearing tattered and worn clothes with dark and muted colours.
Just a look at their face would tell that they were not friendly.
"Enitsu-sama, we have contacted the resistance. They have agreed to postpone meeting with you to discuss terms." said one of the men in a gruff tone.
"Good... what about our bandits?" asked Enitsu in a strained voice.
But on being questioned about the bandits, the two of them suddenly stiffened. One of them gulped before he spoke.
"We have lost contact with two of the 4 teams we had sent out, Enitsu-sama" The man said nervously as he avoided his leader's gaze.
Because he was in charge of distributing the bandits into various local groups. To collect money and information from this country to fuel their mission to reclaim their turf.
The nurse stepped back in surprise as she was pushed back a little by a small breeze, she saw a small flash of electricity form on the man's hand.
*tch*
'Oh, how badly I want to punish these incompetent fools... I can't, not now' thought Enitsu. If he were in his original state, he would have electrocuted the bandit in charge for his incompetence in managing the bandits.
But right now, he was low on personnel and was also injured. Not that he feared his underlings or something, it was just because he didn't want to destroy all the work he had done in the past few years.
He still had to take revenge on those bastards who had backstabbed him and revealed their location to the Hidden Mist Village.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Enitsu clenched his teeth as he forced himself to calm down. As a result, his storm release died out quietly.
"Call back all the alive bandits," Enitsu ordered his underling, who nodded and started to walk away.
They were too afraid to anger their scary leader. Even while injured their leader was strong, very strong compared to them at least.
So they felt relief as they were leaving behind their angry leader. The darkness of the building gave a comfortable feeling.
"Hey, Sota. Why don't we have some 'fun' before we leave?" asked one of the bandits, recalling the secret red light alley he had found in the city.
"..."
Hearing nothing from his buddy, the bandit turned to his side to look at him.
But the only thing he saw was glowing red eyes with three tomoe staring at him from the darkness.

*Mhm*
Ren was hit with the delicious flavour of fried fish as he ate it slowly, savouring every bit of flavour.
He and his team were enjoying themselves at an inn. Buta was also present in the inn, but he was sitting in the VIP room just in the corner of the current room they were in.
"Quite good, isn't it?" asked one of their teammates to Ren, who seemed to be enjoying himself.
"Yhesh" mumbled Ren while still having his mouth full of food.
"Haha, eat slowly, you shouldn't talk while you eat." said another man with amusement in his voice.
Ren blinked his eyes and then blushed a little in embarrassment as he realized he had been eating like a glutton since they came here.
'I blame you Eris' thought Ren, shifting his embarrassment onto Eris as he felt that the reason he acted like this was because of the bland diet Eris had given him.
[Do not blame me, host. I made the diet based on nutritional value and for your optimal growth.]
'Yeah, but couldn't you have made it, you know... tastier?'
[I could have, but you would need more money for ingredients containing both nutrition and flavour, Which you are currently lacking.]
'....'
Ren ignored the last part and just enjoyed the food he was eating now.
He looked around the half-filled inn they were in. While there were customers, the inn wasn't as busy as he would have thought it would be.
"Where is Toru-san?" asked Ren curiously, as he didn't see Toru with them.
At his question, the same one who had teased him and told him to eat slowly looked at him with a smile.
'Oh, no'
"You would have known if you hadn't placed all your attention on the smell of food while coming to this table." said the man with a little smile, the rest of the team members looked at ren with a little amusement, one was even snickering a little.
' .... Why did I even ask, I could have just used chakra sense' Ren berated himself mentally and actively focused on his sense bringing greater clarity.
Within a few seconds, he identified the familiar chakra of Fuma Toru.
'He is next to Buta, guarding him I think' thought Ren as he shook his head for not guessing the obvious. Ren calmed down as he again began to look around him in his mind using chakra sense.
Ren's chakra sense method mainly depended on the changes in the chakra surrounding him.
It was as if he was standing on water with him as the epicentre of it. Each living being has chakra no matter how minute. Each time he breaths and coincidentally completes one chakra cycle inside his body.
Chakra will flow out a little, even very minute chakra will cause changes in the surroundings. It was like a ripple in the water, the more the chakra the more will be the ripple.
Another major reason why his method of chakra sense was difficult was that if there was more than one person at a time, the ripples in the water would cause more and more disturbance and, at one point, become completely unreadable.
Thus, one needs to achieve complete one-mindedness or trance, as Eris calls it. To get the hang of removing all the ambient disturbance.
Why all this was important right now was because Ren suddenly felt 2 genin and 1 jonin-level chakra signatures come in the direction of the inn.
'Should I inform them?' thought Ren indecisively as he felt them at the entrance of the inn.
His current indecisiveness was because he wanted to hide the sensor ability he had recently gained. As his method could not be detected by anyone, he wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Ren tensed as he looked at two hooded figures and another tall man with black hair enter the inn.
"Calm down, Kiyoshi. Not everyone out there is aiming at our necks"
His tensed posture was not unnoticed by his teammates, as they too had noticed the three figures enter the inn, but they quickly deemed that they had no ill intent towards them.
Ultimately, his worry was ill-placed as they just bought a VIP room towards the end of the inn and went inside it.
"Ahh, I remember back in my day, I too was like that, Jumping at my own shadow," said Sato, one of Ren's teammates in a nostalgic tone as he looked slightly regretful.
"Shut up Sato, you haven't even reached 20" Said another older male who was irritated by Sato's facial expression.
Which was true as he was the next youngest person in the team after Ren himself.
"It's the feeling that counts" said Sato, as he immediately broke his regretful expression into a slight smirk.
At the same time, a notification came into his view, making Ren smile internally.
[Skill Premonition has been integrated. ]
'I guess this isn't so ba-'
Ren's thoughts were interrupted by an intense feeling of dread, as shivers ran down his back, his eyes widened as he tried to shout, but he was already too late.
