The technique Haruto had prepared finally succeeded, giving him a little breathing room amidst the grand plans he was devising.
However, Haruto knew very well that this success was just the beginning. There was still much to be done. An attack on the City Academy might be closer than he suspected. Amidst the calm that Haruto tried to maintain, his mind kept racing, planning the next steps, searching for ways to ensure everything went smoothly.

Elsewhere, Kisame and Itachi traversed a dark corridor, their steps steady as they headed to the temporary Akatsuki headquarters. When they finally arrived, the room was filled with a familiar sound—the clinking of metal coins in Kakuzu's hands. The money counter, Kakuzu, sat quietly in the corner, his sharp eyes focused on the stack of money he was arranging with precision.
"Hey, Kakuzu! Are you still busy with money at a time like this?" Kisame asked, his voice calm, almost mocking, as he walked closer to the money-obsessed man.
Without taking his eyes off his counting, Kakuzu replied in an annoyed tone, "Shut up, Kisame! If it weren't for your strange requests about that sword—ugly sword that looks like Samehada—I wouldn't have to count money every day!" Kakuzu's tone grew sharper, reflecting his mounting frustration, yet his hands remained deftly arranging the coin stacks with remarkable accuracy.
"Hey! Aren't you curious about who I brought with me?" Kisame chuckled softly, not taking Kakuzu's anger seriously. He looked at Kakuzu, waiting for a reaction beyond mere grumbling about money.
"Who? Probably just a regular fugitive bringing more money for me." Kakuzu raised an eyebrow slightly, but he remained focused on his work.
"Wrong! This time I brought someone special. My good friend—Itachi Uchiha, with his Sharingan." Kisame grinned widely, unfazed by Kakuzu's cold response.
"Hmm?" Slowly, Kakuzu stopped counting. His eyes fixed on Itachi, who stood calmly beside Kisame.
"Hello, Kakuzu." Itachi, with his characteristic polite demeanor, slightly bowed.
"So... what's the problem this time?" Kakuzu, recognizing Itachi, immediately became more alert. He knew that if Itachi Uchiha was involved, this was no small matter. There was something bigger than just a regular mission, and that intuition made Kakuzu feel uneasy.
"We're going to attack the headquarters of the Lost Authority Organization," Kisame explained, smiling enthusiastically, like a child eager to take action. Kakuzu listened intently, then let out a long sigh.
"In that case, go to Underground City X 64. The sword you want should be ready there. I spent a lot of money just to make that weird and ugly sword for you," Kakuzu said in an annoyed tone, yet still provided important information.
"Thank you, Kakuzu! Alright, let's go, Itachi." Kisame laughed heartily, pleased to hear the good news.
With unwavering enthusiasm, Kisame and Itachi left the headquarters, ready to face a new adventure in Underground City X 64, while Kakuzu returned to counting his money, remaining immersed in his endless obsession.
This world is a post-apocalyptic one, where humanity survives under the shadow of destruction. Fortress Cities stand as the last bastions of civilization, protecting the remnants of humanity from relentless threats—Dead creatures that are lifeless yet continue to hunt, Horror monsters that devour anything in their path, and Criminals who have evolved into Anomalies and Abnormals, individuals with powers that defy reason.
