Darlington felt a shiver run through his just repaired spine as he turned around to look up and who he saw was the best person he could see
A man in an orange circular mask with one sharingan looking him dead in the eye.
He considered this man the best person simply because unlike Itachi, this man right here was what people called a manipulator, opportunist, pretender and tactician.
He had many skills, secrets and agenda and that made him someone who was unaware to himself desperate.
If I can leverage the information I have on this world over him, even though that might change the course of many events, as long as I survive to grow stronger and uphold my side of the deal i made, I will be able to pull through somehow. Darlington thought as a smile had sigh blossomed on his face.
This smile made the masked man frown.
"you smile even in the face of certain death?"
"No, I smile because you were just the right person I needed to help me" Darlington said lying through his teeth.
He was not even part of the options simply because he was not someone you find when you wanted to, even Itachi could confirm that.
The masked man stared with his sharingan locking onto Darlington but after a while he replied.
"you don't even know me"
"i know you are Madara Uchiha and I know your aim is to unite the shinobi world under one banner using the tailed beasts and the rinnegan" Darlington said in a stretch.
This statement caused the masked man to sit on the tree branch as he asked Darlington.
"Who are you?"
"call me Daimon"
"okay Daimon,what do you want and why should I help you?" the masked man asked
Darlington went into thought as truthfully he had not thought of what to ask for or what to give in exchange. Looking at the masked man, he quickly thought of something.
"what else could I want than to be mentored by the co founder of the hidden leaf village and ghost of the Uchiha?" darlington said
A moment of silence ensured between both parties as the masked man watched him earnestly.
Although darlington was nervous being stared at with the sharingan as if he wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even know how he died but after a moment of silence the masked man spoke.
"and what have you to offer in exchange for this?" he asked
"The nine tails" daelington said stunning the masked man
"you wont be able to capture the nine-tails and neither will the individual Akatsuki be able to do so, strength wise and will alike unless you're willing to throw in the whole akatsuki to neutralize a kid, say ill save you the stress of losing your numbers and in exchange you spare me and mentor me"
"so you wish to be a spy in the hidden leaf?"
