Hours had passed, and the news of the night had begun to spread, no longer contained within the hidden leaf. While the effects of it would take a couple more days to appear, Ban had moved quickly, arriving at the bounty hunter hub in the land of grass.
The hub was nothing but a small shop, hidden away in a deep forest, Ban approached the hub made entirely of wood looked broken, and on its last legs, the broken walls revealed the dirty and broken interior and what looked to be an old man standing behind a bar.
Ban didn't look at all surprised at the state of the place as he approached and entered the building.
'It's still the same as before, the last time I was here was two years ago, I guess a place like this doesn't change.' He thought as he approached the old man.
"Mhm, another one from the hidden leaf." the man mumbled as he looked at Ban from head to toe. spotting a leaf headband with a line through it on his forehead.
"An Uchiha at that, you don't see that often. What can I do for you?"
Ban looked at him and sighed, it was clear the news hadn't reached here as yet, but he was sure it wouldn't be much longer.
" I need information on all the rouge shinobi with bounties on their heads in the land of grass along with their location, I prefer Jonin targets." Ban said as he sat on the single stool in front of the bar.
"A very strange request, but it can be done, come with me."
The man turned and approached the wall to the right of him and pressed his hand against it, and almost immediately the ground opened up revealing stairs.
'I'm not the best when it comes to seals, but I'm pretty sure that would only open with his chakra, of course, I could force my way in but most likely it has some kind of backup feature to either destroy the base or send a signal.' Ban thinks following the man underground.
It didn't take long, to make it to the bottom of the stairs, as the narrow walkway opened up into a much larger room filled with cages containing shinobi from all villages, even the hidden leaf.
'The rumors are true.' Ban thinks to himself with no change in expression.
The man leading in front glanced back looking at his reaction, and smiled.
'I know the bounty hubs are funded by the five villages, but who is really in charge I have no idea, and from what I remember the leaf has launched missions to find out if the bounty hubs are being used for slave trade, but never got any evidence. At least that is what was reported to the public, but seeing as those missions were carried out by root and the Anbu I should have known it wasn't to be trusted.'
Ban looked around spotting hidden leaf shinobi who weren't even rouges locked in cages, and beyond the shinobi there were children caged, no doubt who were going to be sent off to the capitals where nobles would use them for their enjoyment, and the lucky ones might even end up in root to be trained as killing tool, a grim future either way.
Truthful he wasn't a monster and he was tempted to free the children, but currently, that conflicted with his current plans, and his plans came first.
As for the shinobi, he would kill them, no need to release them when they might end up fighting him in the future.
'If you all are still here after I'm done and I get my money I'll free you.' Ban says to himself as he continues walking until they reach a back room.
The man quickly moves forward as Ban stops, he opens a drawer for the desk in the room and pulls out some files, flipping through while pulling out one from time to time, the whole process was quick.
"Only seven." he says walking forward and handing a pile of paper to Ban.
" Seeing that you are a new customer, 5,000,000 ryo will cover it." he says holding his hand out.
Ban flipped through the papers and then pulled a scroll from his tool pouch on his side handing it to the man.
"It's all there."
"Very well it's good doing business with you." the man says gesturing for Ban to head back the way he came.
Ban simply turned and left, returning upstairs before disappearing into the forest.
At the door of the hub, the man stood looking the smile never leaving his face.
"I wonder what he did, no matter I'll know soon enough. Someone as strong as him leaving the hidden leaf should be a big blow, but then again the Uchiha and the leaf have been on bad terms for a while now." He mumbles.
"How exciting, the hidden leaf is getting weaker and weaker, maybe soon another war will break out, and even more money will be made."
(With Ban)
"Mhm, there aren't any bloodline shinobi in the information he gave me, let's hope they manage to give me some good things from the quick loading, otherwise there is even more reason to destroy that hub and set those children free, then I could use the shinobi captured there."
'System, show my Status.'
