Chapter 1
'Shit, this isn't good!' thought the soldier. He quickly hid behind the former CEO's desk.
"Uzumaki, check that room." said the voice of an older man.
'Shit! Shit! Shit! He's coming in!' He couldn't think of a way to get out of this alive. He was the last one left. This single four man squad took out the entire building. Over 200 ruthlessly trained soldiers were killed on under an hour. There was only one way out of this, Death.
He sighed and took a cigarette out his front pocket. He took out his box of matches and lit it up. He grew up old fashioned thanks to his grandparents. He never knew who his real parents were. He looked out at the crumbling city of Konoha. He chuckled. 'It all went to hell after the virus struck. Damn monkey bastards couldn't hold their end of the bargain. Peace my ass.'
He took a long puff and exhale the nicotine bliss. He threw his customized M16 to the side and stood up. He raised his arms in a surrender fashion and looked at the blonde in front of him. "Hey, lookin for me huh? Well you found me." He took in the appearance of the eighteen year old that had a Beretta 92 pointed straight at his head. 'Nice choice' thought the man as he looked at the weapon. The blonde young man had cerulean blue eyes and light whisker marks. He wore a white hoodie with a beak. In the center of the hoodie were blue binary fox eyes. Blue jeans matching the fox eyes perfectly. The white shinobi shoes for quick movement completed his outfit. A tattoo was seen on the right side of his neck. It was the kanji for fire. 'By his look, I would say this is the famous Uzumaki Naruto. The kid that lead the assault to finish the PMC, Daybreak (Akatsuki).'
"He's in here guys" yelled the blonde soldier.
The rest of his team came into the room. 'The beautiful Haruno Sakura.' She wore a white military vest with a light pink outline at the seams. She had it unzipped some show off her perky C-cup breast. With light pink capris and white shinobi shoes, she made men drop dead from her looks. A tattoo was seen on her right arm, it was the kanji for fire. She pointed her pistol directly at his chest.
'The rebellious Uchiha Sasuke. Only a spoiled child like you would get away with your crimes.' Sasuke's dark red eyes stared straight into the man's eyes. 'You don't scare me Uchiha.' He wore an open black and red camouflage vest. Underneath was a dark red short sleeved shirt. His black cargo shorts and shinobi shoes ended his outfit. A tattoo was seen on his left arm, it was the kanji for fire. He aimed his compound bow right between his eyes. Pulling back hard, so when the time came, he would plant an arrow in that tiny brain of his.
'And the leader of this fine squad, Hatake Kakashi' He sported a black lightweight military vest with a long sleeved silver shirt underneath. His pants were silver as well. His left eye was a dark red like Sasuke's. To hid his face, he wears a skull teeth bandana. He had a patch on his right sleeve that showed the kanji for fire. Black shinobi shoes completed his attire.
"Well, you guys got me. Now before you kill me, can I at least know the reason of my death?" He took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke.
Kakashi, as the rank of Jounin, stepped forward and looked the man in the eyes. "The Hokage has stated that she will not have traitors in Hi no Kuni. So, she sent us to take care of you. You PMCs only care to take over this great country, we can't let you do that. Ever since your CEO, Shimura Danzo, died this corporation has been a mess. Ne (Real name of Root) is just a mixture of AWOL shinobi and loyal Ne soldiers. The Hokage asked us to tidy this little clutter up." Kakashi waved his hand out to the dead body in the corner of the room. "As you can see, we are very good maids, are we not?"
"You do good work" answered the soldier. He took another puff of his cigarette. Kakashi walked over to the desk and sat in the chair across from him.
"Now then, will you please take a seat." The soldier stayed still but put his hands down to his sides. "I'm not going to tell you anything if information is what you want"
Kakashi sighed. "Pick a body part."
"Excuse me?"
"Pick a body part."
"Um... a leg"
"Sasuke." Sasuke nodded his head and released his bow. The next thing the man knew, he had an arrow in his left leg. He stay standing as much as he could and continued to not listen to Kakashi.
"Pick another body part." said Kakashi bluntly
"Um..." the man stayed quiet for awhile.
"Don't worry, I'll pick for you. Sakura, left foot." She nodded and shot the man in his foot. He had to sit down now. The man didn't scream, he just showed pain in his face and sat down.
"Now that you're seated, we can get this started. Tell me all you know of Ne."
"Fuck... You." said the soldier with confidence
"Now there's no need for profanity sir. Just tell me what I want, and you won't be tortured." Kakashi pulled out his serrated knife and put it to the man's heart.
"Again... Fuck... You"
Once again, Kakashi sighed. He lifted the man up and pushed his head down on the desk. "Naruto, come take his pants off while I hold him down." He leaned in close to the man's ear "Move, and I take out your eyes." The man remained still as Naruto took off his pants. "Take off his boxers as well." Naruto did as he said, revealing the man's ass, balls and average sized penis. "Now, I'll ask again. Tell me what you know about Ne!"
"FUCK YOU!" At the response of these words, Kakashi lifted his knife and shoved it in the mans ass hole. He started to twist it, blood and shit pouring out. The soldier's screams could be heard for blocks. Sakura tried to look away but Kakashi told her to stay focused. "Sakura, if you're ever going to become a Jounin you must learn to torture people in very... creative... WAYS!" He pulled the knife out the clenched hole. Blood and shit sliding down the man's legs.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Kakashi stabbed the man in the right but cheek and yanked down hard. A huge gash was the result. "NO PROFANITY! Will you tell me now?!"
"GO FUCK YOURSELF!" Not getting anywhere with the victim, Kakashi set his sights on the man's balls. He kneed him in his balls. They were smashed between the force of the blow and the desk. "Looks like you're not going to have children! Tell me what I want to know, or your little soldier is next."
"OK OK FINE!" He told Kakashi everything he knew. The problem was, all the information the man gave was already known by Konoha. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but you didn't give us any new information. So..."
"Wait! I do know one more thing. There's a shinobi out there that goes by the name of Ghost. He's the best soldier in the world. The missions you guys have done have been slightly impressive, but this guy is makes you look like fresh Genin. If you ever meet this him, run." He coughed blood out his mouth from internal bleeding. "Go to the archives on the fifth floor. Room 506."
"Thanks for the info" Kakashi then put his hands on the soldiers head and snapped his neck.
ARCHIVES
Walking into the room, Sakura began to type on a nearby computer. Her eyes widened and she looked to everyone else. "This entire room is on Ghost"
"WHAT?! There's no way this whole room is specifically for him." exclaimed Naruto. He walked over to Sakura and looked at the profile on the screen. "Double check it, this entire room couldn't be just his career."
She gave him an angry look and slapped him on the back of the head. "I did you baka!"
"Geez, you didn't have to hit me." Naruto started to rub the back of his head.
"Naruto, Sakura. Were not kids anymore, so lets act like it" said Sasuke.
"I guess so" pouted Naruto
"S-sure Sasuke-kun." said Sakura
"Sakura, pull up his profile." said Kakashi. She did as her leader said and brought his profile up on the screen. His profile was as follows.
GHOST

WARNING: AVOID AT ALL COST
"Sakura, is that all?" asked Kakashi in shock
"Yes, it seems his battle history is scarce. He seems to be very hard to keep track of. His movements are all over the Shinobi World. This suggest he is trained in assassination and information gathering."
"But wait, we're trained in information gathering, so we do the same thing this guy does right?" asked Naruto
"No Naruto. Yes we are trained for information gathering, but we do it with noise. We're a special forces squad. We go, complete the objective, gather additional information and extract. This guy goes in quietly, completes the objective and leaves like he was never there. He doesn't get extraction like us, he has to find his own means of getting out. He's his own squad."
"So this guy is the best soldier in the world huh? I can't wait to take him." said Sasuke as he cracked his knuckles.
"No Sasuke. He's out of our league. The only person that could take him would be one of the Kage. You guys are to retreat if you ever see he him. Got it?"
"Yes, Sir" said Sasuke with displeasure.
"Sakura take as much info as you can on this guy"
"Yes, Sir" she said
Kakashi held up his wrist and talked on his remote watch. "Tower One, this is Jounin Leader Hatake Kakashi of Squad 7. We need extraction."
*Extraction Approved. ETA FIVE MINUTES*
"Also, I need a meeting with the Hokage. We have information for her eyes only."
*Understood, Hatake*
TOWER ONE HQ (HOKAGE TOWER)
"This is good work Hatake." The Hokage stood up and looked out to the destroyed city. The country was a mess right now. PMCs were trying to take over the country after the pandemic hit. Shadow corporations like Ne tried to gain control over the Feudal Lord. He had to be relocated to an underground bunker to avoid assassination while the Hokage tried to take care of any revolutions or invasions. The only ally they had was Suna, and they were in a similar situation. Granted the city wasn't crumbling like Konoha but it was fighting an offensive from Kumo. This has been happening for the last six months.
'With barely over a hundred soldiers left, I think its time we try to relocate to Suna and help with the battle.' She turned around and looked at the squad before her. "Listen, with the Uchiha and Uzumaki being the only clans loyal to Hi no Kuni..." she sighed heavily. "Naruto, close the door."
He did as she said and continued. "Listen good, because I won't repeat this twice. We only have a little over a hundred soldiers left. With the few soldiers that we have, I am planning to abandon Hi no Kuni and relocate to Suna. While I get everything together, I need you to complete two missions. Firstly, you are to go around this country and take out every single compound on this map. This will cause attraction to you and off us as we relocate. Secondly, you are to find Ghost and convince him to join us. If he refuses, kill him. We don't need him against us."
Kakashi looked at the map and saw the three compounds they are to attack. His eyes became serious and he looked to his leader. "Hokage-sama, this is a suicide mission isn't it?" She nodded her head.
"Yes, it is. I don't plan to see any of again."
'I feel as though Naruto won't even make it out of this.' thought Kakashi.
"Jounin Leader Hatake Kakashi, you are to begin your mission at zero five hundred hours tomorrow morning. Do you understand your objective?"
"Yes, ma'am"
"Then you are dismissed"
Once outside the office, Kakashi had a small chat with his team. "You guys ready for this?"
"She said it was a suicide mission, well I'm not dying. I'll prove to her to never underestimate us." said Sasuke as he popped his neck.
"Sasuke's right! We're going to show her to not think so little of us." said Naruto with confidence as he lifted a fist.
"Lets kick some ass!" smirked Sakura
Kakashi smiled. "Then lets do this!"
