A Bargain of Sorts (Kenshin)

The morning had begun to creep inside of the room of Hoori who had been sitting in a chair closest to the desk not far from his bed, leaning back with a cup in his hand. He had been doing mission after mission with his long standing friend Shin and a new person in their fold, Enrai. For some reason Hoori didn't feel as if he had been doing enough which was far from the truth given his reluctantly to do any kind of work to get stronger. As the shine of the sun hit the cup he had been holding to create a rainbow effect within his room, he decided to pay a visit to a rather well known figure within the missing ninja community. A person he really only knew by name and the slight stories told about him, but one thing was for sure he was a peddler in a certain trade that could help Hoori. Setting the glass down he would grab his shirt and head out, leaving a note on the door of Shin to let him know he would be a bit busy today. Stepping out into the streets of Suna, he would begin to head to the hospital after asking around for the man he had been looking for and quite a few people were more than happy to point him in the right direction. The more he asked around the more people referred to the figure as the First Kazekage of Suna, which as he pondered on the thought made sense. He did hear about the destruction of what could be called the old Sunagakure, so it would be apparent that it would be a new one. Either way he would make his way into the hospital where he had found the secretary behind her desk. Smiling he would walk up to it and gain her attention before speaking," Morning. I am here to see the First Kazekage...I hear this is his place of work?," he would of course wait until he was granted clearance to head to wherever he would be directed.

He wouldn’t say he was offended by the tone of the woman. As he looked at her features he could see that she was wearing it so well though maybe she just needed more sleep or a day off. He wouldn’t bring it up but instead would smile and nod,” Thank you very much for your time and I hope you can get some rest soon,” and with that he would follow the instructions until he arrived  at a door. Knocking on it he would wait for a response before opening the door and walking in,” So you’re the big man many missing ninja have made stories of. My name is Hoori and I have heard that you deal in many an abstract ways to gain power. “

His steps were slow as he walked in, setting his bow to the side but one thing he noticed as he entered was the look he was given…he knew the look all too well. He grew up with that look being on the faces of those within his home and family but even now it struck a chord in his mental that he casually brushed off,” There is one that comes to mind when I think of what pairs well with my abilities. They were known in ancient times as the wielded of thousands of skills and rivaled the Uchiha. The abilities of the Senju are what I am after. What is your price for that?,” he’d simply inquire as he looked around the area.

A sudden withdrawn look appeared on his face as he held up both his hands,” Tw-Twenty five thousand?! Who has that kinda money just laying around. That’s craz- no wait. Dammit,” the Hyuga would fall silent for a moment as he began to contemplate an idea,” If that is 25 thousand how much would you buy… a prized possession of the Hyuga clan for?,” he’d let the question linger in the air for a moment while he continued to think over just what he was implying.

…The money alone was enough to make the man drool but then it came with the implication that he would be missing an eye. Thoughts ran rampant through his head but he knew of many a Hyuga who he only one eye but were still weapons of destruction on the field of battle. It wouldn’t take him long to make up his mind as he nodded for a moment,” Okay. For this to work though I will need another eye to replace the one I am giving for this procedure.”
