🕑 Added 2024-05-11 14:28:19 +0000 UTC"Now, now, now, let's sit down calmly, hey Kakuzu! Come here, see if you can stitch up her wounds!" Kakashi called out to Kakuzu, who had just finished dealing with the guards of Reynold.
How did Kakashi know that they were Reynold's guards? Because previously, they all listened to the orders to attack given by Reynold, Kakashi suspected that they were there to protect Reynold.
"..." Kakuzu approached and began examining the wounds suffered by Arin. After a while, Kakuzu left and returned with a first aid kit. After carefully treating Arin's wounds, Kakuzu finally finished.
"How, how am I?" Reynold asked with a pale face, showing his fingers broken by Kakashi.
"Do you want me to amputate your fingers?" Kakuzu said with a serious face, staring at Reynold.
"No, it's not necessary, thank you!" Reynold replied, biting his lower lip out of frustration.
"So, who can tell me who ordered the killing of Obito? The man who is a newly joined Mercenary and has become quite famous?" Kakashi asked with a wide smile.
Reynold and Arin looked at each other before Reynold appeared nervous and finally answered.
"They are... The Soul Collectors," Reynold said nervously.
"What?" Arin looked surprised and confused, looking at Reynold.
"Huh?" Kakashi and Kakuzu also looked confused.
"Who are they?" Kakashi, who was not familiar with any important groups or organizations in this world other than the official organizations on the surface, asked.
"The Soul Collectors are a strange organization that aims to collect various bodies of Anomalies and Abnormals."
"They do this with the belief that the bodies of these Anomalies and Abnormals have Souls that are much stronger than ordinary humans, which is why they often collect various bodies of Anomalies and Abnormals."
"They do this with the goal of resurrecting the God Arserk, who is worshipped by the Soul Collectors."
"Their exact location or the actual location of their headquarters is unknown. The only thing known about them is that they are not only in Fort City 085, but also in several other Fort Cities."
"They are a group of people spreading a cult with strange goals. Because they are a group of people with money who can pay the leaders of the Black Market, the leaders don't really bother them."
"As long as they don't cause trouble in the Black Market, that's why they are allowed to give missions on the Mission Board managed by the Black Market, which will be carried out by bounty hunters who will do anything for money, even if the task is to kill someone."
Kakashi then looked at Arin, sensing Kakashi's gaze, Arin instantly became confused and returned Kakashi's gaze.
"You were surprised earlier, what made you so surprised?" Kakashi asked, looking at Arin.
"... I didn't know that they were the ones who hired me, because they always target Anomalies and Abnormals."
"As an individual Anomalies, I feel scared, if all the weak Anomalies and Abnormals have been captured by them, will I be next?"
"That's why I never wanted to take on assassination missions involving those crazy people," Arin said, looking at the wooden table.
"So that's how it is. By the way, since you're an Anomalies, what abilities do you have? Is it moving very fast?" Kakashi then spoke.
"No, that's not possible. If that was your ability, you would have left here a long time ago. But Obito said that your hands can move very fast and very sharply." After pausing for a moment, Kakashi continued.
