diamonds are forever
Who: Sasuke Uchiha
jikukan and Naruto Uzumaki
chashu
What: Diamond Heist (one of the Unaligned missions)
When: Feb 28th-onward
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: nothing yet!
( with their grace period drawing to a close, sasuke has spent most of his time out of the hotel. canvassing the streets, talking to people. threatening a few — or using genjutsu when and where he needs to.
his efforts build up a small, but usable network of individuals, and it's one of these people that tips him off about the mission being offered by the guilds for the diamond theft.
so, this is him just climbing in through the window to naruto's hotel room — naruto's been loathe to leave him alone, but sasuke hasn't exactly welcomed his company, either. especially after that stupid finger trap and naruto's incessant begging to go on a date. he's as bad as sakura, ino and all the rest of the girls he left behind.
(he could do the mission alone. he knows that. but having a team... isn't the worst.)
once through the door, he pushes a piece of paper into naruto's hands. names, dates, the mission objective, everything. )
We're doing this.
( no hello. just an irate order. )

naruto is just glad that a) they're no longer stuck together and b) he no longer feels... weird feelings toward sasuke... kind of(?). ANYWAY, they have bigger issues to worry about with the deadline looming closer and closer. he doesn't have a single clue where they're gonna live once their stay at the diadem ends.
he is sitting on the bed scrolling through his cellphone when sasuke enters the room. looking up, he doesn't manage to get a word in before he's suddenly staring at a piece of paper. ) What's this? ( he scans over the content, his eyes immediately widening at the cash reward. springing up from the bed, he drops his phone onto the ground as he meets sasuke's gaze with unfettered excitement. ) IS THIS FOR REAL?! ( with that amount of money, finding a place to live on their own will be no problem! ) What're we waiting for? Let's go find this diamond right now! ( hold on, give him a quick sec to pick up his phone and grab his jacket. )
no subject
Stop. ( the 'idiot' is implied in his acerbic tone. ) We need to make a plan of attack.
( he pulls a map and a schematic of the building itself out of his back pocket — obtained from the city planning department — and spreads it out on the bed. both are a little out of date, but it's what he had access to. he points out various stations on it. )
There are security guards here, here and here. The alarm system runs through here, with access points along these walls.
( he folds his arms. )
You are going to use kage bunshin to make clones and transform them. You'll be attacking the plaza, twelve blocks north. Enough to cause a distraction. Once everyone's attention is focused on that, we'll strike. I'll take out the power grid for several different city blocks simultaneously, including the museum block, but the alarm system runs out on back-up generators, so once we're inside we'll have to disable them manually. The chaos should prevent emergency services from getting through immediately, and any guild members that try to interfere will be confused with the initial distraction and will lose valuable minutes deciding what to do.
We disable whatever security measures are on the diamond itself. One of us takes the diamond and we split up to ensure there's less chance of being followed. One of us has a fake — one of your clones, transformed, and we leave a second fake behind. We meet here.
( he points out a tower on the map. )
Then one of us goes to meet with the contact. With the fake. Once we know it's not a trap or a bluff, whoever has the real one can follow after a signal. Any questions?
no subject
This contact... ( he glances down at the sheet of paper still in his hand. ) Why do they want this diamond anyway? Did it belong to them?
no subject
Does it matter?
( he sounds annoyed even asking the question. he doesn't care. a mission is a mission — any lingering morality he may have felt on the matter has been long since put away. )
We've been brought to this world, no one wants to help us without conditions — and you're worried about what's right and wrong? Don't be naïve. If we don't take it, someone else will. Displaying wealth in public just for people to ogle is crass anyway. If they owned it originally, they're getting it back. If they don't, they're taking it away from someone who isn't smart enough to realize you shouldn't flaunt your wealth in a world full of 'superheroes' and 'supervillains'.
( might makes right, as far as he's concerned. )
no subject
( the paper crinkles in his hand as his grip tightens around its edges. )
What if... what if we ask them first? Just to make sure the diamond actually belongs to them...?
no subject
( he cannot overstate how little he actually cares who it belongs to. even that minor compromise isn't anything he wants to make, and his gaze on naruto is icy. )
If you object, I'll do it myself, and you can stay here being useless.
no subject
No, you're not. ( he snaps the words at him. ) You're not doing this alone.
( like hell he would let him! what if sasuke gets caught? what if this turns out to be some kinda trap??
he may not be comfortable with the moral ambiguity of this mission, but morals regrettably don't take precedence over sasuke and, as much as he hates to admit it, he won't be able to stop him from going without fighting him — except sasuke barely recovered not too long ago and he can't bring himself to have a full on throttle with him right now, especially not when he's trying his best to keep him by his side without physically tying him down. )
GAAHHH! ( he throws up his arms in frustration. ) FINE. Let's get this stupid diamond!
( but if it turns out the diamond doesn't belong to whoever commissioned the mission, he is gonna beat the living crap outta them!!! )
no subject
Just don't get in the way.
( a shake of his head, and then he goes to the joined door between their hotel rooms, pushing it open with a shoulder to get into it. )
I got us uniforms. Make sure you look for cameras before you take it on or off.
( as uniforms go, his experience is really either what the anbu wear or what the akatsuki does, so for obvious reasons he chose the former over the latter. he throws a bag with all the amenities and a white fox mask at naruto, because he barely trusts the idiot to protect his own identity, much less source this sort of thing for himself without being on the radar about it. )
no subject
Wait, isn't this...? ( he pulls out the white fox mask, glancing between it and sasuke. ) Aren't these the Anbu uniforms? Where did you get them?
no subject
( do not make his man admit he knows how to make this shit. he remembers helping — that person make repairs to his uniform, and once to his weasel mask. it was enough to reverse engineer the process, and the body armour he stole and modified on his own. )
Just try not to damage it too much.
