Korea Hunter's Association Headquarter, Korea

A man dressed in a black suit, white shirt, formal shoes, black tie, and formal black pants, accompanied by his serious expression and black sunglasses, made him look like a bodyguard.

The man was walking through the corridor of one of the floors in the building when suddenly his phone rang.

𝄞 Yeah baby dancing with me, You're my star 𝄞

The man took out his phone and answered the call while he walked

"Hello," the man said calmly, with a sense of professionalism

The man stopped after what he heard

"What, you found two kids in a dungeon?!" the man shouted without a sense of professionalism

***

In a small room, approximately 3mx3m, there was a small table and 3 chairs. The three chairs were arranged in such a way that one chair was on the other end of the table. On the two adjacent chairs sat Naruto and Sakura, while on the opposite chair sat the man. Beside the man, two men stood wearing formal clothes.

The man asked, "So, who are you two? And how did you get inside a dungeon?" to Naruto and Sakura, the duo looked at each other with knitted eyebrows

"What did you just say, sir?" Sakura asked politely

"They speak a different language? Why didn't you tell me these two don't know Korean", the man asked the people standing beside him.

"Sir, when you first entered the room, I tried to tell you, but you shushed me," one of them said

The man looked at his subordinates fiercely, then turned his face towards Naruto and Sakura

"They seem to speak Japanese. Did they have some kind of ID on them? Have you called a translator?"

"No, they didn't have any ID proof, but we found some scrolls and sharp knives from their bags, and we haven't called a translator"

The man smirked and said, "Alright, and good that you didn't call a translator"

His subordinates started frowning and asked, "Why, sir"

"There is a tremendous risk for the association if an outsider learned some kids of unknown origin entered a dungeon, just think how will the public respond, and they seem to be awakened, from the aura surrounding them, just think what will happen"

"Then, sir, what are we supposed to do?"

The man leaned his back on the chair's backrest and kept his hands behind his head, and started frowning

"We need someone from the association, who can speak Japanese. The chairman is out of town, then who…" The man thought to himself.

"Why are we here, you guys are from Akatsuki right!" Naruto shouted out of frustration.

"Restrain this boy's hands and tape his mouth, and bring this girl something to drink. I will come back with someone soon," the man told his subordinates

While one of his subordinates follow his orders, the other asked, "You got a solution, sir?"

"Yes, I know the perfect guy"

Naruto tried to speak but wasn't able to because of the tape on his mouth. Everyone ignored him.

The man left the room and entered the hallway. He started walking towards the exit of the building. The man took out his phone and started dialing.

***

The man stood at the entrance of the building when a black sedan stopped in front of him. A man walked out of the car. The man was tall and had a muscular build. His black hair and gray eyes, accompanied by his sharp facial features, made him look hunkier and more appealing than others.

"Hello, Mr. Woo-Jin Chul", the man who walked out of the car said with a smile on his face

"Hello, I heard you can speak Japanese, is that true?"

"Why you ask?"

"I want you to translate what two Japanese kids say"

After hearing what Jin-Chul said, the man knitted his eyebrows

They both entered the building, and Jin-Chul told the man everything

The both of them reached the door of the room where Naruto and Sakura were.

The man took a deep breath

"Nervous"

"A little"

The both of them entered the room.

On entering the room, they saw three people, a guy from the association who sat on the chair with his arms folded opposite to him sat a teen girl sipping some juice, and next to her sat a blond teen with his mouth taped, and his hands confined with so-called mana-cuffs, a type of handcuff specially made for awakened criminals, the handcuffs were infused with mana to ensure that they would not break.

"Why is he in that condition?"

"Oh, that's because he was shouting a lot"

When the guy from the association saw the two of them come in, he stood up and greeted them "Good afternoon, sir"

Both of them looked at him and nodded.

Then the man sat on the vacant chair and said "GOOD AFTERNOON YOU TWO"

"Finally, someone who speaks Japanese!" Sakura said

"Should I remove the tape from your friend's mouth?" the man said with a smile on his face

"Nah, it's alright. So why don't you tell me why we are being interrogated"

"Well, it's because you were in a dungeon, sitting on the boss' body before the room was even opened"

"You mean that ugly creature in the cave?"

"Yes, that's what I mean, so how did yo-"

Suddenly, a sound came

Crack!

Everyone scanned the room to find out the source of this sound. They saw Naruto standing up, and removing the tape. He broke his mana handcuffs. He was in sage mode

"I know you are with those Akatsuki bastards!" Naruto shouted,

Sakura said, "I told you to be calm, and let me talk, didn't I"

Jin-Chul and his subordinates immediately pointed their guns towards Naruto.

The man smirked and said, "Calm down, let's hear what he has to say"

"I challenge you to a battle. If you win, we will cooperate, but if you lose, you will let us go, won't you?"

"I accept, boy"

"Call me Naruto Uzumaki! Dattebayo!"

"Alright Naruto Uzumaki Dattebayo, I Sung Jin-Woo accepts your challenge", the man said coldly
