SHIORI'S POV My body feels a heavier all of a sudden. And I'm starting to feel a little dizzy. But I keep my cool

"This fog's so thick, you can't see anything" Sakura whispers
"The bridge isn't far now. Our destination's just ahead. The Land of Waves" says the man rowing the boat
"Hmm?"--Naruto
The bridge comes to sight. We all look up, astonished
"Whoa! It's huge!" Naruto yells
"Quiet. I told you, no noise. Why do you think we're traveling like this huh? Cutting off the engine and rowing? Moving through the dense fog? So they don't see us" says the rower
'I feel hot'
Naruto shuts his mouth, putting his hands over it
"Mr. Tazuna. Before we reach the pier, I want to ask you something...The men who are after you, I need to know why. If you don't tell us, I'm afraid I'll have to end this mission when we drop you ashore" Kakashi Sensei explains as we look at Mister Tazuna
He stays silent for a moment
"I have no choice but to tell you" he say
"No, I want you to know the truth. Like you said, this is beyond the scope of the original mission. The one who seeks my life is a very short man, who casts a very long and deadly shadow"
"A deadly shadow? Hmm. Who is it?" Kakashi Sensei asks
"You know him. At least. I'm sure you've heard his name before. He's one of the wealthiest men in the world. The shipping magnet, Gato" says Mister Tazuna
Kakashi Sensei's eyes widen
"Huh? Gato? Of Gato Transport? He's a business leader, everyone knows him" says Kakashi Sensei
"Who, who? What, what?" Naruto asks
"Gato. Is a very powerful tycoon from a famous company that's true. But below the surface, with the same ruthless methods he uses to take over businesses and nations. He sells drugs and contraband. Using gangs and Ninja. It was one year ago, when Gato first set his sights on The Land of Waves. He came to our island and used his vast wealth to take total control of our transport and shipping. Anyone who tried to stand in his way simply...disappeared. In an island nation, a man who controls the sea controls everything, finance, government, our very lives. But there's one thing he fears, the bridge. When it is complete, it will join us to the land and that will break his control. I am the bridge builder" Mister Tazuna explains
"So that's it, since you're in charge with the bridge, you're getting in this gangster's way" says Sakura
"You're a threat to his control" I say after
"That means, those guys we fought in the forest, they were working for Gato" Sasuke adds
"Ahh, hmm" Naruto scratches his head, can't find anything to add
