With his new found view, Wave could easily see the 3 figures just a few feet away from him. A small girl and a young boy were cradling a middle aged man. Wave felt a deep relief rush over him as he looked at the so-called "ghosts." There was nothing truly frightening about the bunch at all. The man stood crutched on the stairs, trying to recover while suffering from a bloody nose. The soft drips of blood could echoed as they splattered against the ground.
The man didn't seem as threatening now, so perhaps the sudden fright is what demonized him in Wave's mind.
Fuck I didn't mean to deck some old guy. Besides, I wasn't really that scared.... okay I was scared. But the old bastard shouldn't have snuck up on me! Now I'm gonna be the guy who beat up an old man!? How am I gonna explain that to the Kusakage!?
Waves thoughts echoed in his head as he walked over and crouched down towards the man. So the supposed ghosts of this house were actually a family trying to scare off future residents of this place. The home was sturdy sure, but it was nothing to be proud of, that is of course unless the mold and dust was all just for show.
"What're you doing here man! You shouldn't be trying to scare a shinobi!"
The man had not fully recovered, yet he still tried to sit up and speak. A little blood swished around in his mouth as he spoke.
"Sorry kid I was trying to scare ya' off. I can't tell ya' how many folks da' Kusakage has sent here trying to get us to leave. But dis' is our home! We been here forever, and there's no way we are going to leave!"
Wave bent down and listened to the man's story. The small family had suffered many trials throughout their residency in Kusagakure. The father of the house had to support his dying wife, as well as his children, all why trying to maintain a low salary income. It was a typical story in the slums of Kusagakure. The village did not pay much attention to those who could not contribute to the well being of the community, so it was very often that people would be looked over when it came to the Villages prosperity. Wave could whole heartedly understand them, as he himself had to suffer through poverty before he was eligible to become a ninja, and earn a living for himself. However, he could not let himself be tempted to kindness.
The man kept talking, although he had not noticed Wave switch on his headphones. The man only ceased his speech when he heard the loud blasts of music booming through Waves headphones. As much as Wave regretted it, these poor souls were purposely defying the Kusakage. That was more than enough for him to act as rashly as he had planned.
"Hurry up and get out."
Without further warning, Wave would sprint though the house , His Byakugan shifting through the buildings infrastructure. Wave quickly approached the support beams of the house, and shoved his fist through it. He would do this for the other six structures, before finding the main support beam in the living room of the house. He paused as he realized that this was the only beam still supporting the already crumbling house. He could see behind him that the small family had escaped the house, so he no longer had any reason to stall. Wave smashed the beam in with his fist, and quickly pushed out of the building.
The house crumbled down into nothingness. The loud cries of the family behind Wave were nothing compared to the moans of the house falling down. Wave approached the family, and pulled from his pocket a small sheet of paper. Without another word, the young Hyuuga walked back towards the Kusakage Atrium, to alert his lord that the job was finished. The family stood in awe as they looked at the small parchment. On it was the location of one of Wave's unused apartments just outside of Kusa no Kuni. It would be a hard journey, but at the end of it, this family would have a home.
