Nobu sighed to himself as he sat there looking at the hustle and bustle around them, it seemed everyone only cared about their own life, that was something that needed to change, as he glanced across to Asuka he listened to her his brown eyes locking with hers as he gave her his full attention as the two sat there, it was almost laughable it was like a scene from a movie where to enemies meet to eat food and discuss the world and how to fix it, even he could appreciate the situation and the fact he had the time to speak to Asuka himself more importantly alone.
Tilting his head slightly as he listened to each other, pondering for a few seconds on her words, he sighed and kicked back his chair and stood up, turning towards the door he allowed himself to pass the plate of food across the desk, sliding it beside her, he grabbed the stool that was almost sitting ontop of her at that point. Walking over he grabbed the seat and leaned into her the brown eyes not leaving contact with her own.
"You say you started out from the bottom, and made your way up where you are now when you made a Genin, easier said that done. Actually I do believe that as things go right now I have managed to sort the housing problem out. That didn't go to my head. We moved into deserted Hyuuga mansion, as its no longer vacant property, I have let those without a home move into that home, and we are working on bringing it up to the standards that is expected. Gone are those hideous symbols now it belongs to my Clan, weird how that was achieved but Leaf Law allowed it to happen. In terms of moving up in the world, Takeshi helped get us a business set up, what is a small debt to be paid between that man and myself is between the two of us of course. People and things can change all the time."
He was blunt about the matter, and the fact that his clan had taken posession of one of the bigger clan houses inside of the village. The fact that they where running a bar in the low end distrct inside of Leaf was still something that he didn't show to many, it was the front of what his clan was achiving and the operations that they where being carried out. After all what he didn't tell Asuka is that is how the real money had started, with the trade and sale of the Byakugan that they had found in the Clan House. Mainly down to Zatoru and his exploration, and with the contacts that Sumiko had it soon became clear that the sales and distrubution of the eyes was making them a huge profit. He had to thank them for their hard work, they had managed to help build things up, and with the Clan's rising popularity amoing the less privillaged of Leaf he had set up a hard position to be moved from.
"You speak of being understaffed, but that doesn't give the right for the village to go to shit, what you are saying is you are lacking the required level of Shinobi out there, or at least the ones with the brains to understand what is going on and what actions to take? So instead we look to let any crime go unpunished, anything to be done without any issues, people to take punishment into there own hands Asuka. I have to admit not the response I would have predicted, but it is the responise that I hoped never to see in my time around. Let me ask you is this vigillanty style of the law something you want citizens to keep doing that is the real question here?"
Considering her words about creater city, he ordered himself some more food as the two of them sat there, he felt a lot more at ease now than before, the urge to just turn this whole processes into a fight was gone. Nobu pondered if that was more for the fact that he was seeing oppertunity, or was he seeing the fact that Asuka was still a human and had struggles just like everyone else? He would have to figure that right now instead he was in the moment and he was going to push forward with the sharing of information that he was giving to the Hokage.
"You see the fact that you are wanting to just allow things to happen inside of Creater City, so you want to just let everything happen there and turn a blind eye, see that is something I don't actually believe, and because of OUR efforts as you put you have sorted everything out and made sure that leaf is never invaded. So let me ask you Asuka, and take no offense from this question. What have you done as Kage so far? What is your future going to say about you right now?"
Nobu pondered for a few minutes as he allowed himself to think on the best way to approach this, the best way to tackle this issue and assist himself, Asuka and hell as much as it hurt him to say it the village, but the poor people here where who he was going to be serving. No-one would stop that being the main goal, regardless of what lurked in the shadows to get to that goal. His hand gently came out as he rested it on Asuka leg, spinning the stood to make sure she was directly facing him as his eyes kept contact as he spoke, letting the words and the meaning become clear to her.
"Lets be frank right now, I want the ability to set up inside of Creater City and make sure that no-one gets hurt, bring law to the lawless its a basic fundermental and one that hasn't been seen there from what you said in long enough that I would need the power to do this with a team, and to do it very discreatly to not attract the attention of anyone else."
He pondered the next part before a smirk came across his lips, it was something that he considered on the answers before he spoke wanting to make sure he covered this correctly.
"Then let me make you an offer, I think a fair trade, I will help the people of Leaf, always will always have, we have built a food shelter for those in need, have brought a place for conversation to take place already. I have done all of this with my Clan and will contuine to do so. But what you are saying goes both way's, I will help and not get in the way, if you can promise the same to me and my Clan? We will do what we do best, and not interfear its really as simple as that I guess?"
"Evil will always exist, its what brings good into the world a constant balance that we have, and something that will only contuine to exist in the future. For now though I think its a start by promoting me, I want Chuunin, simple enough request considering my skills really and what I can achive. I then want authority to set up a few things in Creater City with a team that I pick myself?"
He paused as he looked towards Asuka at the last words, a cheeky grin on his face as he listened to her last words, he tried to push his luck as always but that was always how Nobu was.
"How abotu a dinner date once I come back from creater city, a nice meal and some food and I can talk till the sun comes up with how I am fixing things, but first it should always start with creater city, and the streets of the village to protect the people we serve."
