Verdandi had but arrived in Suna's Capital, Sasanin-Togeta the diamond of Suna. Verdandi was quite amazed by its beauty but deeply disturbed by its history. Slave trade was the major business in this region and despite it being abolished since years now, there were still signs left of how the village used to cage humans like cattle and tug them on display so one could bid their prizes for them. Especially in the outer wall, the poor people didn't really care much for cleaning up on their old buildings and rather repurposed those buildings, ironically to house cattle in them, as if they were to underline the were fact that these people used to treat humans as cattle. Verd shivered a bit. The thought of slavery was something that could be punished with the most severe sentence in Heidel. Seeing that it had not been .that. many generations ago since they last practiced it here openly and legally. It was a scary thought to say at least. But Verdandi was still in a good mood. Her ship arrived at the Sasanin docks. She'd be dressed in an extremely expensive and elegant dress. Verdandi was to impersonate a very rich and beautiful wife to a crime boss. Said crime boss however was one of Kiri's double agents. He had been operating in the city for years. Some claim he takes his role a bit too serious at times but his results and intel he gathered for Kiri's administration were immensely valued.
Verdandi's addition to the mission itself was however of slightly different nature than his. Verdandi's task as an ANBU initiate was a specific Crime Lord and his Clan. The Yusuke would have to fall in Suna. That was the mission. With all the effort it'll take to beat them up and take them down. Verdandi was given a lot of time but also had a few strict events to take care of. For example, the first one would be Endo Yusuke's wedding. Verd had already heard the rumours that he was to marry the gorgeous Kikyo Raijin, daughter of the Raijin's Clans Chief. A political marriage. Just for the sake of crime lords trying to bolster their strength together. Verdandi deeply despised this concept of defiling the act of true love with such a mechanical approach to it. Anyone who dared to force a young woman to become some other man's plaything for the simple purpose of her father's desire and hunger for power… it had to be punished in the worst ways utterly possible. Verdandi was sure there would be plenty of time to mess with these assholes once she was in the right position to do so. But first, she had to make her way to her supposed home. Crime Lord Ozay, Kiri's double agent, had staged a whole photo shooting to create a fake wedding with Verdandi. She was supposed to be the new addition to his family and would of course be publicly seen as a trophy wife that underlines the success of this crime lord.
Verdandi didn't mind. She however made sure that if he touched her ever for more than a hug Verd wouldn't mind to blow her cover and kill him right where he would stand. That clarification set aside. Verd would travel from the docks with her supposed fake husband in a carriage, pulled by horses further into the city until they eventually reached the gates to the inner walls. Ozay showing off his passport to the guards and the papers that would proof Verdandi's hand in marriage to him. They would quickly file a new passport for Verdandi. She was given the pretty name Elena. Verd could certainly work with that. Looking at the new passport with a totally staged pic of her being the sexy crime lord waifu. Verdandi's appearance had been mildly changed by med-nin in the Kiri camp. Her body and curves remained the same. A little beauty dot there, a little change to the eyebrows, a fake dimple on her chin. Nothing much in difference to her usual self. She undyed her usually green hair to reflect the snow-white nature of them. Being white was a symbol of power in the capital. It showed that you were not someone that works on the fields or does other tedious jobs. The white skin of Verdandi along with her clean white hair were but an ultimate symbol of clean purity. The masses gazing up at her would desire and long for her beauty.
Once they arrived at Ozay's mansion, Verdandi would move to explore the vast beauty of his massive home. The rich man instantly forced to deal with matters of crime importance of course. Leaving Verdandi to a servant whom was but a cute and adorable young girl. Verd cuddled the cutie and let her take her to her chambers. She was delighted by Verdandi's cheerful and happy persona. None of the staff here had however the slightest idea that Ozay wasn't whom he claimed to be. He took his position seriously. His deal was in weapon trades and his battle was a competition if not sometimes and outright bloody war with other crime syndicates about the control of the Sasanin economy. However, the reason why Verdandi was here was that Ozay had gotten notice that the Yusuke Clan is trying to unify the crime lords under one banner to move their attention from the capital north to where the invaders of the other ninja villages had landed, set up camp and were slowly marching their forces into suna territory. Despite the doubts of Verdandi about the whole village effort ever coming to a full success, to eradicate crime in a large city as this, even if they were supposed to be her political enemies, would surely benefit a lot of civilians that Verdandi had compassion and empathy for. She wasn't really here to invade anyone. But if the death that lingered the streets at night would vanish. Some people here would certainly be happy about it.
Verdandi would take a long bath. Enjoy the care of her servants, play with the young girl servant. Talk with her. Finding the origin story of her orphan days and eventually just cuddling the cute little girl as she adored the sweetness and her giggles and smiles. But soon Verd had been called out for Act 1. The wedding was about to start. Ozay moved upstairs to see how Dandi was doing. She had put herself in one of the most shiny and beautiful white dresses one could think of. Giggling to herself as she saw that even Ozay had to admit that she was a stunning view. Verd liked being pretty. Who doesn’t? She made sure to have a custom-made dagger blade installer in her sleeve and one that could be secretly pushed forth from the tip of her high heels. Once that was done with, Verdandi allowed Ozay to take her by the arm and slowly guide her down the street, to the carriage, to the wedding. As staged as it all came to be, the wedding was to take place at the Raijin Home. A large mansion for sure. Verd gazed at the unsightly proportions of the building. The amount of wedding guests was vast. A huge number of rich people, even those with supposedly pure and clean intents were here for political influences and such. Even the mayor of the rich district was here to pay his respects to the crime lord papa raijin.
Verdandi was continuously introduced as Miss Ozay, met with many compliments and pleasantries, her appearance again giving word of talk around. Verd was sure such a thing would potentially raise Ozay's status quo in the eyes of his crime lord competitors. Eventually Verdandi met the bride and the groom as well. Endo was a huge, scary looking guy. Kikyo seemed not to be very happy about being here at all. The way he tugged her around was already making Verdandi angry again. Putting her right back into the mood of when she contemplated about Suna's slavery business. Was this any different? Selling your daughter off like meat to someone else? Verdandi bit her own lip as she had to control her emotional urges. She couldn't help but huge and squeeze Kikyo when given then chance, much to Endo's displeasure. Which Verdandi didn't care for. He wouldn't dare lay a finger on another crime bosses supposed wife. Doing such a thing was certainly against a thousand rules in the 'how to behave like a future crime lord' book. Verd giggled. Enjoying it to tease the asshat a bit. Then slowly trotted off into the distance. Ozay had already made his way to the buffet and was talking with various guests about deals for his empire. A truly dedicated man to his job. Verd chuckled but then would actually start to do her job. She had to find the daddy. Verd moved all around the wedding compound and tried to search for him. Until she eventually got notice that he was underground. In the cellar.
Verd made her way quickly to the closest entrance towards that lower, underground floor that she could get as a guest. Inspecting the area with shiny eyes. Her sharingan was working nicely and do its job to actually show what was going on below ground. She could see a certain number of energy sources that was about it. Eventually Dandi would move towards the entrance to the cellar. The hallway itself was unprotected and empty. Giving her some time to change from her dress into her fake criminal assassin garments. She made sure that her body was adorned with symbols of the Yusuke Clan. She didn't intend to be seen. But if she did, maybe some of the guards were dumb enough to tell the tale of it being a Yusuke intruder. Verd would soon casually disappear into the darkness of hallway she was in. The Silhouette technique coming to use as usual. Bypassing a large amount of security and guards as she made her way down. Further and further into the depths of the buildings. Once she passed the normal floors and the security men changed from standard guards to actual criminal ones. Verd however started to change her attitude. She passed the door that separated hired guards from exclusive Raijin members. Sliding a chakra string from her palms as Verd casually started to move down the hallways and strangled her enemy forces.
The around C-Ranked civilians were no match for her skill and strength as she enveloped them from behind and tugged the string in. Verd made sure to do so quickly and advance within mere minutes to the lowest floor. She bypassed the guards central meeting spot without killing anyone just yet. Until she could slip into the room where Daddy Raijin was currently busy plotting his future claims with the Yusuke Clan. It was time. Verdandi's first political assassination. Verd made sure that the lights went out in the room. Her sharingan alone able to see in the dark. Moving along the walls. Pulling her blade from her back and slicing throats. Before Daddy Raijin could actually call for help he already had Verdandi's palm on his mouth and her blade sank into his back. Slowly it'd make its way through his rib cage until a last shove would penetrate his heart. Once he was dead, Verd would decapitate him and seal the head into a scroll. Furthermore, pulling her saw blade past the bodies in the room to make sure their end would look bloody and gruesome. Leaving a dozen well prepared evidence marks that the Yusuke were responsible for it. Weapons of them. Signs from them. Coins. Anything with their emblem on it that could have gotten 'lost' during the attack. Verdandi moved, killed the lamp source in the middle of the barracks room. The two dozen men there suddenly standing in the dark.
Verdandi used the vacuum wave wind technique to cut them to pieces. All enemies around Verdandi soon dropping to the floor with their throats cut apart. Once more Verd would use her blade to saw them into a mess of a bloody battle. It was time. Verd was to leave but not without impaling Daddy's head on a spear in the middle of the room. On her way out, Verd would face the two captains of the guards. B-Ranked, ready to toss fire at her. Verd raised the water encampment wall to swallow their fireballs. Punched the first into its gut before slicing her blade into his skull. The other one quickly coming near into close combat. Daring to attack Verdandi with his martial arts. Unaware that her eye had such intense perception she could easily forecast where he would try to punch and kick her, reading his muscles and just punching and kicking right into the incoming attacks. Blasting him back with a wind slash before charging and pushing her blade into his belly. Dead. Both of them. Verd would drag them to the rest and add their bodies to the pile. Once that was dealt with. Verdandi placed a single exploding tag at the entrance and slid her way back upstairs. In the hallway she had to use a bit of suiton control to rid herself of the blood stains on her skin. Slowly moving back in her pretty party dress and sealing all her gear and weapons back into some of the seemingly decorative 'flowers' that were scrolls in truth.
With a last motion of her hand before she moved around the corner, the explosion would be set off. The whole wedding would have heard of it. Verdandi quickly searched for Ozay playing the scared and confused lady. Watching a multitude of guests starting to flee. Not long until the Raijin forces declared it a direct attack of the Yusuke and the murder of their clan boss. The wedding itself would soon turn into a battlefield. Raijin vs. Yusuke soldiers starting to get at each other's throats. Endo forced to watch how the Raijin guards removed the heir of the clan to safety. Until the whole place soon ended up being turned into a mess. A lot of Raijin and Yusuke forces would die on this day. The Raijin clan basically removed from power with their leader gone. Kikyo, the only heir to the Clan now ironically becoming the Clan's new chief and leader while just moments ago she was to be sold off as a bargaining chip. Verdandi however wouldn't see most of the first hand anymore. She had fled the party with Ozay. Moving back home only to hear his discuss the situation later over radio with his other 'criminal' friends. All of them damning the Yusuke for what they supposedly did. Many unsure if it really was the Yusuke that killed Daddy Raijin. But it didn't matter at this point. The war had already begun.
