“I still don’t see. Why we have to keep meeting in caves. You have the gold to pay me. Suely you fouled find something better than…this” He said, gesturing to their surroundings. He did not bother looking around again. He had already scanned it upon entry. It was just like every other cave he and his benefactor had met in. Cold, damp, and altogether unremarkable.
“Do I look like I have the patience for your games, boy?” His benefactor asked.
“Well, that depends on you doesn’t it, old man?”
“I will remove that eye from your skull and make you suffer in ways humankind has never seen before if you continue to defy me. Now answer my question” He suddenly felt the air in the cave become choking. It heated up to a level that it was too uncomfortable to even breath and it was all he could do to avoid falling to his knees from the force of the chakra bearing down on him.
“I-I got it” He barely managed to stammer out, and then his legs were free again.
“Good. Now just maintain this behavior henceforth, is that too much to ask?” His benefactor asked. He grumbled, but did not reply.
And then his knees were on the floor again. I asked you a question.
“N-n-n-no. No.” He stammered out.
“Indeed. Now bring it to me” His benefactor stretched out his hands.
“What do you even need this for?” He asked, taking out the black scroll the thad been given to him and unsealing the subject of his most recent theft.
“Do you know what that is?” His benefactor asked.
“Some ceremonial fan that Kumo cares a lot about for some reason?” His benefactor’s laughter bounced off the cave’s walls then.
