Ayame

Getting the population of Konoha to not revolt after the coup would be imperative for this plan to go smoothly. By adding Ayame the owner of the most popular restaurant in the city, she could spread rumors that could greatly aid in calming the masses. However due to her more public persona, it would be harder to get access to her than some of the others without people noticing.

Fortunately, Ino was able to get her exact route everyday as well as info about her that would be imperative in getting Kawaki in good graces of Ayame. But, this was the only method of approaching her as a straight up **** would be reported immediately by her father or another member of Ichiraku staff. If anyone died, it would be even worse as Naruto would directly get involved over such a case due to his relationship with the store.

This would be a huge hurdle for Kawaki, he wasn't ever sociable and even less likable. If he wanted to be at least a "leader" of the ninja world even at least temporarily after his coup, he would need to front a personable image. This would be that training according to all of his slaves amongst his other trainings in prep for the coup itself.

All 3 of his slaves would rotate in training his burgeoning social skills, each trying to engage in conversations based on Ayame's personality profile provided by Ino. He was pretty abysmal in this training, but he ordered his slaves to be strict in his training as Kara was so he would be denied various amenities including sexual relief throughout this process.

Several weeks passed before all 3 deemed Kawaki ready to begin the mission. He would have to finish this mission swiftly if he was to have any time to even recruit 1 more, much less 2 or 3. Thankfully for Kawaki, his 3 slaves had already used light forms of genjutsu on the girl to already have positive feelings towards him to make the job much easier. There was nothing that beat having 3 of the most effective kunoichi in the city planning and preparing the plans for his ascension.

Getting to know Ayame (he already basically knew everything about her due to the extensive file compiled by the Ino's intelligence group) was quite smooth as intended. It only took a couple button pushes to get her to start spilling some of her more basic secrets. Over the course of the next couple of days, he complimented, flirted, and humored his way into a "date" the following day with the successful business owner.

The following day, Sakura and Yugao had arrived to prepare him for the date making sure that he would maintain his personality for most of the night and that they would make it to the proper locations to perform the ritual. Not to mention, making him look nice to flatter Ayame and put her at ease.

After Ichiraku had closed for the night, he waited at the front door for Ayame to come meet him.
