Tonight was the night. Yami had spent some weeks gathering information on the underground fight clubs of Kirigakure no Sato for this mission and it all boiled down to this one night. She found that three clubs were the most prominent within the village: the Kuniumi Boxing Club, the Kamiumi Boxing Club, and the Izanami Boxing Club. To the public eye, all three seemed to be mere gyms for non-ninja to get in a good work out and fight clean fights for the sake of sport; however, in the cover of the night, they would manipulate poor children into fighting in the basement in exchange for money to feed their families. The deals were seemingly sweet but with little support from the corner men (the people who were supposed to clean/close cuts, wrap hands, etc.), the kids would often be left in poor condition and their earnings hardly covered the medical costs, let alone feed a family.
Yami formulated a plan. All three gyms were owned by wealthy boxing aficionados, men who had dedicated their life supporting and building the infrastructure of boxing across the Shinobi World for just about everyone who wasn't a shinobi. However, they were bound together by more than just their competing love for the sport; all three were cousins. K.R. Ishida, M.K. Ishida, and R.O. Ishida all were born and raised together in Mizu no Kuni in a small town, no more than 30 minutes from the primary village. From previous scouting reports, all three exhibited traits of extreme pride and this quickly became Yami's greatest weapon against them.
She would study all three for a total of two weeks, from small details in the face to their vocal attributes, should would study each individual in secret. Often disguised as a beautiful older woman, she found herself K.R. would be approached by Yami under the guise of M.K. and vice versa through the use of Henge no Jutsu. Approaching R.O. proved to be more difficult, as Yami had little experience utilizing both Henge no Jutsu and Bunshin no Jutsu simultaneously; however, he proved to be far more naive than intially believed, quickly agreeing to the terms of this challenge. They would make a verbal agreement to organize the largest underground boxing event in the basement Kirigakure's abandoned orphanage on western district, home to the lower class. From here, they were to choose three random children to fight in their name.
From there, she planted a rumor into the ears of the children of the western district of a girl named "Kibo," who had beaten many of the older boys known for robbing villagers and vandalizing the holy grounds of the Church. Finally, a week prior to the big event, word got around to K.R., who was confident in "Kibo" as a fighter. Yami gladly accepted the offer under the moniker and pretended to train in hope of winning money for her family. Each cousin was to put in 25,000両 and with the entrance fees for spectators, the grand total of potential earnings came up to 100,000両.
Tonight was the night. It was the culmination of all the deceptive efforts Yami had poured into it and tonight was the big payoff. Ninja were waiting in the distance for the signal: flickering the lights four times in the main lobby. In the basement of the orphanage was a medium-sized crowd and in the ring stood two boys, roughly in their late teens. Though they had the advantage in stature, they were not of her concern. The cousins were listening to play-by-play commentary in the attic, which only had a single way in and out, alongside the pool of potential earnings. Yami was looking to shut down all three clubs at once and that meant targeting the Ishida cousins. "You betta' say yo' prayers now, lil' bitch. My moms and brother need this money for milk and Kai ain't one to let down his family!" one would shout as she stepped into the ring. Once again, Yami remained unphased. "Listen," she'd quietly say, walking closer to the boy. "If you really value your family and this money, I'd advise you to take another route...Kibo leaves no survivors." she'd whisper into his ear in the her typical monotone voice, although the threat was menacing nonetheless. As she backed away, the boy known as "Kai" was obviously shaken. The other boy, far larger than the first, stood silently in his corner across from Kai. The announcer would slowly emerge from the shadows of the wall and began to shout into his mic.
"ARE YOU READYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?"
The crowd erupted immediately, with random shouts emerging from all directions.
"GO TEAM R! RIP THAT WHORE APART!"
"KIBO THE UNSTOPPABLE!"
"TEAM M WILL KILL THEM ALL!"
The announcer stepped back into the shadows. DING! The behemoth of a boy exploded from his corner and quickly tackled Kai going straight for the ground and pound. Yami reacted swiftly, charging at the silent behemoth with her shoulder. He would tumble off of Kai, who was bleeding from his nose, but far from out of the fight. Before he could recompose himself, Yami bashed his forehead into the floor. He wasn't dead but the gash on his foreheag, along with the disorienting pain was enough to eliminate his threat. The sound of footsteps could be heard rushing towards her and Yami would seemingly warp away1 from her original location. Kai, still somewhat disoriented from his bashing, stopped dead in his tracks. "Run. Now." he'd hear whispered from within his ear. Kai whipped around to see she was gone once again and heeded the warning, darting towards the exit.
"OH SHIT, IT'S A SETUP!"
The spectators would stampede from the basement, into the main corridor and out the front door.
Meanwhile, in the attic, the Ishida cousins sit comfortable around a table in lounge chairs. On the table rests a briefcase and a radio for their listening pleasures.
"R, you picked a big boy. From the commentary, he seems to be quite the scary."
The radio plays loud rambling from a nasally commentator: "The behemoth takes Team M's representative to the ground and wastes no time in delivering a beating." M.K. Ishida could be seen fuming from his seat, his face shifting from a fair to a tomato red.
"I sure did! Kwewewewewe, how you feelin', M.K.? Your boy not as promising as he seemed?"
"Shut your dirty trap, this is all a fuckin' sham."
"A SHAM!? YOU CALLIN' BIG BRODY A SHAM?"
"THE BOY IS BUILT LIKE HE'S IN HIS PRIME! HE'S GOT A BALD HEAD, MOTHERFUCKER!"
"DON'T YOU JUDG-"
Once again, the radio erupts but much to the surprise of everyone, the commentator speaks on the fighter known as Kibo: "The mighty mistress comes to the aid of the poor boy Kai, taking the behemoth to the ground with a remarkable shoulder charge! Such tremendous strength from--OH MY! SHE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SINGLE BASH OF THE HEAD!" R.O. flings the radio across the room and gets into the smug face of K.R.
"You fixed the fight didn't you, K.R.? There's no way your girl beat my boy!"
"Just face it, R.O., you're boned. I won fair and square."
"If it's up to me, neither one of you are leaving with MY money!"
The three men begin a passionate argument, distracting them from the commotion happening below. Yami makes her way to the attic door.
Taking a brief moment to collect herself, Yami pressed her ear gently against the aged wooden door. Unexpected but I can work with this. Acting quickly, she burst through the door and put the nearest Ishida, which happened to be R.O., in a choke hold. "All three of you are officially captured by the shinobi of Kirigakure no Sato. If make any attempt to leave or resist my arrest, I can and will kill your cousin."
"Kill him, we don't care."
"Hell, if you don't kill him, the champon will."
Yami sighed. Never had she thought a mission that required so much prep would be so disappointing. With a single pivot, she would hurl R.O., who was far larger than the other two because of his "glandular" problem, into M.K. and K.R. and sent all three to the ground. Picking up the briefcase, she looked back at the three men, who were once again arguing over who's fault this was, and allowed a toothy, albeit creepy grin to crawl across her face and disappear as quickly as it came. The descent downstairs was satisfying and as she reached the main lobby to flicker the lights, she recalled one thing. Yami ran down into the basement and brought the behemoth boy into the lobby to receive medical attention. Even a brute deserves some compassion, I guess. she thought, flickering the light four times in the main lobby. From the outside, ninja were seen closing in on the location. Mission accomplished.
