The night's rain fell harshly around you. There wasn't another soul in sight that you could sense. It was odd since your target was supposed to be at the designated meeting place by now. Except your target, Uchiha Shisui, was nowhere to be found. The longer you went on waiting for him, you couldn't help feeling a chill run through your body.

You remained high up on one of the branches of a tree, making sure the area around you was surveilled. It felt like you were being watched, but you couldn't pinpoint from where. Leaving you to tense and stress about the sensation. Something was off. Shisui should have been here half an hour ago.

Just as you thought that, you feel the cool metal of a kunai being placed against your throat from behind. Finally, the presence that had been creeping you out showed themselves. The very person you were supposed to assassinate.

“It's not too late to back out, and we can pretend that this never happened.” Shisui whispered into your ear quietly.
