Enrai upper class district - east [mission, DE, closed].

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

Enrai upper class district - east.


Music: Here.


Appearance: Here. Credit goes to the photographer.


Weather: – 2 degrees Celsius or 28,4 degrees Fahrenheit. Clear skies.


Description: The eastern district in Enrai is quite populated compared to the old town and the business district. Many of the people who live here work in business, politics, law, banking or are high class shinobis. Three kindergartens, two K-12 schools plus a couple sports clubs can be found in this district. Security is high here due to the number of rich people that lives here.

There are many trees and gardens here to improve the environment. The district looks like a tree with a lot of branches from above. The “branches” are side streets where people live while the “trunk” is the main way. A small mountain can be found at the west end of the district. In the northern part of the district is a large park for the public to use.

[Enter Toshio]


'Looks like this is the right place' thought the male as he reached the southern end of the main street. There were numerous houses here that would not look out of place in a reality show about rich people. Toshio felt a little envious since he lived in a spacious apartment.
'My apartment looks like a box contained with these houses. Some of them even have a swimming pool' observed the man.

His indigo eyes started to look around for anything unusual. The Chuunin had turned his flak jacket inside out to blend in more. The headband had been put in the front pocket of his trousers.
Suddenly, he saw a couple security guards coming down their way. The male decided to stay calm.

"Good morning" greeted one of them with a polite voice. "Er - good morning" replied the medic in what he hoped was a polite voice. The duo then turned to the right where one of the side streets were located.
'Are they here to investigate something? Or are they hired by someone who lives here?' pondered the man.


He had enough equipment with him in case of an emergency. The flak jacket had all the weapons. It contained 10 kunais, 30 hira shurikens, 2 smoke grenades, 2 hikari bombs, a multi-tool, 50 exploding tags, 50 senbons and a pair of goggles with X-ray and heat vision.
The small field pack contained all the medical items. They consisted of 4 thermal capsules, 6 bloodclot pills, 4 rebar splints, 4 dokas, a gas mask with filter "C", 8 rebreathers, 6 soldier pills, a rake pick, a ball pick, a diamond pick plus a small gourd filled with water.

'At least we have people who I hope are on our side. Many of the houses here probably have some security systems installed. That's what I would have done if I was rich' thought Toshio.
He wondered where they should start. This was mainly a residential area, but a skilled shinobi would definitely use that to their advantage.

James walked alongside the medic. He wasn't sure what their main goal was, but that never stopped him before. The houses were opulent, and belonged to the extremely wealthy of the area. He surmised that the the higher ranking members of mafioso organizations wold most likely have houses in this area, if not, they'd still be able to find drugs seeing as it is such an expensive hobby to partake in on a regular basis. Drugs that the rich take are expensive to manufacture, and expensive for the consumer. A cartel would be more likely to be profiteering off of those circumstances than small time criminals without access to the facilities required.

Two security guards came up to them. James didn't think much of it. A couple of white haired people probably stuck out like a sore thumb. They were greeted by the uniformed men. "Hi, how are you guys doing?" James figured a friendly demeanor would serve them a lot better than anything else in this situation. He had his katana loosely on hung on his back over his jacket. James had a tactical vest with 15 shuriken and 5 kunai. James kept his headband underneath the vest in a small compartment within.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

A new day had just begun in the residential district. Lights were turned on inside many of the houses and the security guards were doing their patrol. Some people were out to walk their dog or do some exercise. What they all had in common was the type of clothes they were wearing. Not only were they appropriate for the weather, but were from quality brands too.

A number of delivery people were biking up the main street too. Some of them had food in their carts while others were delivering newspapers. There was a few who were from the post office who had packages on their carts too. But there was something odd about the delivery people. The two shinobis would be able to catch it if they looked closely.

Those who delivered mail packages were stopping in front of the corner of each “branch” of the street. The weird thing was that they were not stopping for oncoming traffic. A few of the bikers were biking in a half-circle around the areas where the main street branched into side street. Many of them made sure to avoid the pedestrians completely – more than a usual delivery person. It was almost as if they were avoiding an invisible enemy.

Since the delivery people were busy, they did not talk that much to one another. One of the delivery women was talking to a security guard. It appeared she was dropping something off. What would the duo from Kumogakure do next?

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

'Hm....It seems like the delivery people are avoiding an invisible force of some sort' noticed the guy as he looked how they moved. The younger male had probably caught onto this as well.
"I'm going to talk to that guard over there. I would like you to keep an eye at the entrance of each street. Something isn't right here" muttered Toshio in a low voice.

He made sure that nobody heard them as they talked. The duo could probably pass for being relatives due to their physical similarities.
'I need to make up an alibi for myself. I know - maybe I can tell I'm new to this city' decided the man. He made his way over to the guard.

The woman had just left when he approached the taller man. "Hello. May I ask you something?" inquired the Chuunin in a polite voice.
The officer gave him a nod. "My name is Osamu and it's my first day at work today" started the male.

"I have to say that this seems like a nice area to live in. But is there anything I should watch out for?" inquired the ivory-haired guy.
"Yeah, there is. There's been a crime wave in this area the last ten weeks" replied the guy.

"Two of the houses in the street up there was robbed a month ago. The beige house over there was subjected to graffiti when the owner was gone two weeks ago" started the officer.
"Ai. I'm very sorry to hear that" replied the medic in an apologetic voice. It was not hard for him to fake that given his profession.

"It gets worse. Five delivery people have been assaulted during the last six weeks. It's usually one per week.
The only thing we know is that the attackers are men who never gets caught. They are in good shape however since the delivery people here are quite fit themselves" warned the man.

"Thanks for the information. Have a good day. I'll be careful and report to you or the police if I see or hear anything weird" told the male.
He would check the area first before he headed over to James. Things were about to get serious.

((OOC: geninjames, post as soon as you can))

It did not take long for the male to find his partner. He made sure to make it look like they were two friends or relatives talking together. That would look a lot less suspicious.
Toshio used his observation skills plus his goggles to check the area around them. His goggles did not see anything in the trees apart from birds or the odd squirrel.

The only electronic equipment close to them were the surveillance cameras at some of the houses. It was unlikely that they would pick up their voices. The closest house with a surveillance camera was 20 meters away from where they stood."Listen to me a little. There is a good reason why the delivery people are acting the way they do" muttered Toshio after he had done a thorough check of the area around them.

"Five delivery people have been assaulted in the last six weeks alone. In addition to that, two of the houses further up have been robbed. Another house had been decorated with graffiti while the owners were gone too.
These people are up to no good. I suggest we find these gangsters and show them that this is unacceptable" whispered the man in a serious voice.

He had already started to gather chakra for a necessary jutsu. The medic felt his senses sharpen as he looked at the neighborhood. Even if these people had been poor, they did not deserve to be robbed.
His indigo eyes narrowed as he laid his goggles back. The fact that the policeman had not described the criminals made things a little harder.

"The policeman did not describe how they looked like. But we know they are men who are physically fit and somewhat intelligent. They would not have been able to rob five houses in six weeks without that.
I suggest we split up, but stay close to one another. That will make it easier for us to help one another" concluded the male while looking at his partner

Defensive throw.
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu/supplementary.
Effect: A technique in which if the user has his sights set on a target ready to attack, the senses of the throwing specialist is so in tuned with his surroundings the user is unable to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the “C” Rank version they must be “C” Class, if they wish to learn the “B” Rank version they must be “B” Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the throwing specialist is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is “C” Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a throwing specialist.

Suiton: Mahou mizu misairu renda no jutsu (Water release: Magic water missile barrage technique).
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: ---
Special: “Handseals”.
Description: User focuses their chakra into tiny bits of water, condensing them to form nearly-solid balls while still retaining their liquid properties. The balls levitate in the air, much like in the system involved with the ochiru ame no jutsu.
The balls will then fly at the opponent, and depending on the amount of chakra used to throw them, the “missiles” can easily dent thick metal armor or to knock down wooden doors on metal hinges. When a “missile” strikes an oponent, the chakra holding the water together will release into the atmosphere, causing the water to loose its ball-like shape and revert back into flowing water. Only 10 missiles can be created at a time, but when one is used, another can be instantly recreated for an additional cost in chakra.
Limit: Must have water release.

"We could each walk down a seperate street, maybe try and look like an easy target for anyone. That way they can come to us instead of us having to use up our resources looking. I can bend the cameras away with my bloodlimit, but itll look suspicious if we stay in any one place too long. If you have any mind altering genjutsu you could use that to get us into a house or appear like a deliveryman. I'm going to try and find a yuppie party to crash." James didn't know how they could blend in with the delivery men and attract an attacker with how limited the time was for the henge jutsu. James activated his static field so that he could move any cameras that would try and peer at the two shinobi.

Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current)
Rank: "C"
Skilll: Kekkai Genkai Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to manipulate electrostatics and electric charges.
Handsigns: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Rabbit once per 5 turns.
Drawback: Objects must be visible. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Only metallic objects or semi-metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: Allows the user to manipulate and control electrostatic, which is by definition electricity at rest. This gives the user the ability to move around both positive and negative charges on objects, which, in the end, can result in the ability to either repel or attract objects to and from each other. It must be noted that this jutsu strictly follows the concept of the Conservation of Charges. That means that without influence, all charges within nature are balanced at zero. Only when acted upon do these charges change. This ability is a requirement for all members of the Kyoudo Clan. When the user first gains this ability, they have only the ability to affect one object at a time within five meters of their person. At maximum, the user may move 10% of an object’s positive or negative charges to another object. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Due to the relative electrical field produced by every person Kyoudo cannot affect people, and due to the low electronegativity of non-metallic objects, only metallic objects can be affected. It is only through mastery over the element of thunder that one can obtain this ability.
Limit: Kyoudo Clan only

"I DO have a mind altering genjutsu I can use. And we can definitely use your bloodlimit to bend the cameras. But we can't just enter random houses.
I don't think the thieves will stay in the same street. Lightning does not strike the same place twice. Especially if they want to scare people" muttered Toshio.

His indigo eyes looked at the different streets. One of the streets had already been targeted. But which one would be the next?
"Maybe we can just keep going down the main street. I'll go on this side and you can go on the other one. That should give us good coverage without looking too suspicious" suggested the man.

James nodded. He wasn't the best with new areas, but he knew there would be a lot of activity on the main street. It seemed like a good idea. His sword loosely swung about on his back as he strolled down the right side of the main street. If the thugs were anything like normal people, then they would want to hang around a place with lots of things to do, or a place to eat.

Cameras were fairly easy to move as he walked. Any of them within 15 meters of him looked the other way so as to not catch his face or body profile. He remained wary, attempting to sense any weapons entering his static field.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

As they walked up the street, a couple of kids who were 10-15 years old would emerge from the houses. They were all wearing school uniforms that probably belonged to a posh private school or academy. A few of them would eye the duo with curiosity.
It was not very often you saw albinos or white-haired teenagers walking around. One of the teenager girls however gave the younger male (James) an appreciative look.

The older guy was thankful that his partner were able to manipulate the security cameras in that matter. It made it easier for them to sneak around. Most of the delivery men and women had approached the end of the street.
As they reached the middle of the street, the sound of falling trashcans would catch their attention. It came from the side street at the left side.

The only people at that street was a skinny woman with red-blonde hair walking her dog, a mailman plus a black-haired boy who appeared to be 13-14 years old. The woman was walking down the driveway that belonged to the first house at the right side. The mail man was halfway down the street and was busy putting mail into a mailbox that stood in front of a creamy white house. Last but not least was the teenager who was at the other end of the street. The street itself was 300 feet long with houses on both sides.

"Did you hear that?" muttered the older male. He was walking slower and had a vary expression in his eyes. Toshio looked at the three people in the street.
The woman plus the teenage boy looked slightly surprised. The mailman however were either too busy or had not heard anything.

"Do you see anything unusual James-san? I'll put on my goggles to see if there's anything or anyone hiding" told the man.
'The dog appears to be a bit anxious. Maybe it has smelled something or someone unusual' noticed the Chuunin. Perhaps his partner was able to pick up something with that blood limit of his.

Effect: User is skilled at detecting falsehoods and true intentions.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A successful check lets you avoid being bluffed (see the acting skill).

Defensive throw.
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu/supplementary.
Effect: A technique in which if the user has his sights set on a target ready to attack, the senses of the throwing specialist is so in tuned with his surroundings the user is unable to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the “C” Rank version they must be “C” Class, if they wish to learn the “B” Rank version they must be “B” Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the throwing specialist is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is “C” Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a throwing specialist.

Suiton: Mahou mizu misairu renda no jutsu (Water release: Magic water missile barrage technique).
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: ---
Special: “Handseals”.
Description: User focuses their chakra into tiny bits of water, condensing them to form nearly-solid balls while still retaining their liquid properties. The balls levitate in the air, much like in the system involved with the ochiru ame no jutsu.
The balls will then fly at the opponent, and depending on the amount of chakra used to throw them, the “missiles” can easily dent thick metal armor or to knock down wooden doors on metal hinges. When a “missile” strikes an oponent, the chakra holding the water together will release into the atmosphere, causing the water to loose its ball-like shape and revert back into flowing water. Only 10 missiles can be created at a time, but when one is used, another can be instantly recreated for an additional cost in chakra.
Limit: Must have water release.

James' eyes narrowed, scanning the area around where the sound came. "We should go investigate." James decided. He wasn't going to be able to do much else with his current skillset. He kept a warm smile on his face as he strolled to the area from which the sound emanated. The mailman had no reaction so he wasn't much of a suspect, An older lady wouldn't be out of place, but the kid is someone who could be up to something. James made a mental note to keep an eye on the kid as he went proceeded.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

"We should go investigate" decided the male.
"Mhm. But we better be careful - they may want to trap us" whispered the man.
The dog was was eyeing the duo with its big brown eyes. Toshio did not make eye contact since the animal was in distress.

He put on his goggles and zoomed in where he could. The male bent down his head a little so nobody saw the goggles straight away. Apart from a cat, he could not see anything suspicious in the first two houses on either side.
"Let's keep going a bit further down" muttered the Chuunin.
He was ready to use the suiton jutsu when he could.

Something wet hit his nose. He looked up and noticed that it had started to snow.
A small smile formed at his face. His head turned left to look at the kid. The X-ray vision did not pick up anything weird or unusual. The male then checked the house on the right side.

He blinked when he noticed something. The glass door at the side terrace was broken.
"Hey. Look at the right" muttered the ivory-man while looking at James.
Broken glass doors was never a good sign. But his X-ray vision could not see inside since it was fifty feet away.

"I say we should use our skills to get a little closer. We need to be careful however. We don't know who or what we're up against" told the man.
He wondered if they would be up against a shinobi, a common thief or maybe both.
Or perhaps they were up against two or more people with several skill sets like themselves.

Toshio would be right as far as the burglars were concerned. There was clear signs of a break in at the outside of the house. Not only was the glass broken, but a plant on the side terrace had fallen down.
The terrace was located at the first floor on the building with a staircase that went down to the garden. In the garden was a pond that had no fish in it - they were inside the house.

The house had a rather simple layout despite the large size. The terrace was located at the end of a hallway at the first floor. On each side of the hallway were three doors. All of the doors on the right side lead to a bedroom. Two of them had rather bright colours on the wall and toys on the floor.

The third bedroom however had a more subdued colour palette with no toys. All of the three rooms had a bed, a desk, a chair, two or three paintings at the wall, a computer, a nightstand plus a large bookshelf. It was clear that the two brightly coloured rooms belonged to two children. All of the bedrooms had a window that faced the garden.

On the left side of the hallway was a bathroom with a walk-in closet. One of them had a toilet, two sinks, a shower, a bath tub plus a large dresser. The walk-in closet contained four cupboards, a large mirror and two shoe shelves. Two of the cupboards had clothes in children sizes while the third had adult sized clothes. Last but not least was a cupboard that contained winter clothes plus a safe with jewelry.

At the ground floor of the house was a similar hallway. But the left side had only two doors while the right side had three. On the left side was a spacious kitchen with modern furniture. It had a door that lead into the living room. The living room had a large TV, a comfortable sofa, two comfortable chairs, a table, two large bookshelves plus some art work that hung on the wall. Both rooms had a large window that faced the rest of the street.

At the right side of the hallway was a smaller bedroom. It contained a bed, a desk, a nightstand with a lamp, a chair plus a small cupboard. Right next door was a bathroom that only had a toilet, a sink and a shower.
The bathroom as well as the bedroom were clearly meant for guests. Last but not least was the office room. It had a desk, a chair, a smaller bookshelf, a computer that was hidden in a cupboard under the desk plus a small fridge.

Inside the walk in closet was two thieves. One of them was a boy who appeared to be 16-17 years old. He had spiky light turquoise hair that contrasted with his tanned skin.
His eyes were steely blue. The outfit he wore consisted of a navy blue knitted sweater, a pair of orange tracksuit bottoms plus black winter shoes.

The second thief was a guy who appeared to be 18-20 years old. He haid auburn hair, pale skin plus amber eyes. His outfit consisted of a gray winter jacket, a black wool shirt, a pair of gray chinos and black winter shoes. He wore a pair of glasses as well.

"Are you SURE this is a good idea!?" whispered the teal-haired guy. "Yeah. This woman and her children are at holiday in Otafuku Gai. They'll stay there for nine days according to the mailman" muttered the auburn-haired man. The duo had locked the door to the walk-in closet and pulled the curtains.

"I'm pretty sure she has some nice jewelry in here that should be easy to sell. We better stay clear off the most unique ones. They are too easy to track down" stated the male.
His friend nodded before he took a peek out of the window. People should be at work now and the delivery people were done with their routes.

((geninjames, please post as soon as you can!))


The shinobis had two options. They could enter through the broken glass door or go through the front door. 'Going through the broken door is easier for us since we don't really have to break in.
But it could leave traces that make us look guilty. Or make it harder for the police to find the culprits' realized the male.

"I'll see if I can see anything. Do you know how to open doors without touching them? I suspect you could use your heritage to twist the locks around" suggested Toshio while looking at his partner.
It became clear that healing was not the only thing that had made him a Chuunin. The man was quite observant as well.

He zoomed in at the place around the door. There was a stone laying on the floor not far away from the door. In addition, only a small portion of the window was broken.
'These guys must be quite clever. They have made it look like an accident' observed the medic.

The male let out a small hiss when he could not find any windows. "I'm going to see if there are any windows in the garden. You can check the other side of the house.
Maybe the thieves are at the ground floor. Let me know immediately if you see them inside or outside the house" stated the white-haired guy.

'I hope we're not too late. If we are, we better find a security guard' thought the man. He made sure to stay low as he walked around the fence that surrounded the garden.
Toshio noticed that there were many windows at the right side that faced the garden. He immediately zoomed in to see if there was anything or anyone suspicious inside the house.

James tilted his head upward. His mind drifted elsewhere, to his senses. James had gotten close to the door, around fifteen meters or so. His body hid behind some bushes so as to not draw attention. He could feel the lock in his field, The lock was a fairly simple one made for a house. How locks work is that you push up on the pin with the most pressure to let the bolt slide through. The only issue is that if the wrong pin was pushed it would reset the entire process and could break the lock of enough pressure is applied. Each pin would need to be pushed up the right amount in order to be able to turn the lock. Luckily, James could feel and sense any such discrepancies with his bloodline abilities. James pushed up the pins in order of pressure by magnetizing the ends of them unseen to the normal person. He then turned the handle from a position of safety, meters away. "It's a good thing there aren't more than five tumblers, otherwise, we'd be screwed" James smirked at the medical ninja while simultaneously grabbing the hilt of his katana in preparation to move in.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

While his partner unlocked the door, the male checked the building with his X-ray vision. The X-ray vision could only penetrate through the rooms that were at 'his' side of the house. Toshio realized he had to get a lot closer.
He followed the garden until he reached the part of the house where the staircase was. The guy checked the inside with his X-ray vision and did not see anyone.

'Looks like there's nobody around. I think it's safe for me to use my shinobi abilities' decided the Chuunin. He used his refined chakra control to climb up the wall like a spider would.
Once the white-haired guy reached the second floor, he turned on his X-ray vision again. The guy decided to look through one of the bedroom windows after making sure nobody was there.

It did not take him long to find the two thieves. He turned on his radio. "James-san. The thieves are at the second floor. Looks like they're in a room next to the bathroom" informed the medic via the radio.

He decided to use his lockpick skills plus his multitool in order to crack up the window a little. It was a fairly standard model that had a childlock on it.
If that did not work, the male would break the window with his water missiles after using a genjutsu. He had to be careful since he did not know what he was up against. These thieves could be quite dangerous.

Jutsu ready for use:


Suiton: Mahou mizu misairu renda no jutsu (Water release: Magic water missile barrage technique).
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: ---
Special: “Handseals”.
Description: User focuses their chakra into tiny bits of water, condensing them to form nearly-solid balls while still retaining their liquid properties. The balls levitate in the air, much like in the system involved with the ochiru ame no jutsu.
The balls will then fly at the opponent, and depending on the amount of chakra used to throw them, the “missiles” can easily dent thick metal armor or to knock down wooden doors on metal hinges. When a “missile” strikes an oponent, the chakra holding the water together will release into the atmosphere, causing the water to loose its ball-like shape and revert back into flowing water. Only 10 missiles can be created at a time, but when one is used, another can be instantly recreated for an additional cost in chakra.
Limit: Must have water release.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

[Round 1/2 trying to unlock the window]


'YES!' mentally exclaimed the male when his multi tool managed to widen the gap on the lock. He started to gather chakra for a genjutsu that would hopefully keep the thieves occupied while he broke in.
Toshio did not worry about people seeing him. The streets were empty while the houses surrounding them had no lights in their windows.

'I think this jutsu should solve the problem. Good thing I know their location so well' observed the guy as he did a set of handseals. It would not take long until the thieves were fascinated by his colourful pattern.
The Chuunin bit his lower lip while he tried to crack up the window. His water missiles were circling around him like they were in an orbit.

'I hope James-san is doing all right. I can't help him straight away at this point. But he's able to control metal, so he probably can't be hurt by weapons. Unless they attack him from the back' pondered the male. He adjusted his left arm a little so he could get a better angle.

Some creaky noises were heard as the window opened up a little further. Indigo eyes studied the lock a little closer to find out where the weaknesses were. 'Hm...that looks like a good spot. Let's see what I can do here' decided the white-haired guy as he pulled the tool a little back. Things were about to get interesting...

[Round 2/2]

A clear 'clack!' could be heard as the male opened the window. He used his goggles to look at the duo. They were standing completely still.
Toshio sneaked in the window and made the missiles follow suit. A plan was forming in his head on how to attack the duo.

'I have to knock both of them out immediately. If I don't, they may flee or gang up on me. Maybe it's time for me to put my chakra skills to the test' decided the man.
He sent chakra to his hand while he kept an eye on the duo. Indigo eyes scanned the bodies while figuring out where the water missiles should hit.

'I'll send two missiles towards the spine. I'll send one missile to each head plus two towards each ankle. Last but not least, I'm going to use my chakra scalpel on their kneecaps.
Should be enough to render them immobile while the missile will knock them out. Or at least send them into a daze' decided the Chuunin as he glanced at the bedroom.

He hid next to the doorway before he aimed at the duo. The chakra he had sent to his hands had now turned into two scalpels. It only took a couple of seconds for everything to happen.
Both thieves heads, spines plus their ankles were struck by missiles. The male leaped forwards as the duo fall to their knees.

The white-haired man got a hold of their right kneecaps. His chakra scalpels cut straight through them. The man then moved onto their left kneecap to make sure they were immobile.
'Hm. Looks like my missiles did the trick' observed Toshio after he took a step back.

Both of the thieves had a wound at the top of their head that was bleeding. Neither of them appeared to be conscious. It could be due to the shock of being hit by a genjutsu prior to the missiles.
The male tied them up by using some scarves in the wardrobe. He dragged the duo downstairs before he unlocked the door.

'Good thing...I learned...the will of kratos' concluded the Chuunin as he opened the door. He had just pulled the duo out of the house when a security guard appeared.
"Hey - what is this?" asked the male. The other guy smiled while he pulled out his shinobi ID.

"I just caught these two in stealing some valuable items from this house. Send a message to the Raikage so she knows. I need to alert my squad" explained the ivory-haired male.
He turned on his radio so he could get in touch with his team. The male had still plenty of energy left.

"This is doc – I just got my suspects arrested. Let me know if you're in need of assistance" informed Toshio.
The man was happy to have completed his part of the mission. He crossed his fingers that nobody had gotten serious injuries or were about to lose.

Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: A twisting pattern of subtle, shifting colours weaves through the air, fascinating creatures within it.
Special: “Handseals”.
Drawback: ---
Description: A mind-affecting technique. Affects anyone within 10 meters radius spread. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 30 meters plus 15 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts as long as the user concentrates plus 2 rounds. This technique may be negated. Creatures whom are the most class levels lower than the user are affected first, among those whom are closest to the jutsu's point of origin. Affected creatures become fascinated by the pattern of colors. Sightless creatures are not affected.
Limit: Must know the pattern perception.


Chakra Scalpel
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user creates chakra blade along the index and middle finger that is no longer than 1 inch long.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The user creates chakra blade along the index and middle finger that is no longer than 1 inch long. This allows the user to create a highly precise cutting tool. This can be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular scalpels, the Chakra Scalpel can make cuts inside the body without actually creating a wound, limiting the risks of infection. The chakra scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Because of this requirement, using the chakra scalpel offensively is highly unusual. In heated combat, even the greatest Medical Doctors will not be able to exert the precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effectively cut muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile.
Limit: Must be a Medical Doctor.


Suiton: Mahou mizu misairu renda no jutsu (Water release: Magic water missile barrage technique).
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: ---
Special: “Handseals”.
Description: User focuses their chakra into tiny bits of water, condensing them to form nearly-solid balls while still retaining their liquid properties. The balls levitate in the air, much like in the system involved with the ochiru ame no jutsu.
The balls will then fly at the opponent, and depending on the amount of chakra used to throw them, the “missiles” can easily dent thick metal armor or to knock down wooden doors on metal hinges. When a “missile” strikes an oponent, the chakra holding the water together will release into the atmosphere, causing the water to loose its ball-like shape and revert back into flowing water. Only 10 missiles can be created at a time, but when one is used, another can be instantly recreated for an additional cost in chakra.
Limit: Must have water release.

A young voice was suddenly heard on the radio. "We are gonna need a medic quickly. For one of these criminals didn't have the sense to stand down and is now bleeding heavily." informed Ryutatsu.
His message made the male raise an eyebrow initially. Why were they requesting medical assistant for a criminal?

'Hold on. Maybe this criminal knows something that is important for us. Makes sense that he won't be useful if he dies' concluded Toshio.
"This is doc. I'm heading to the shopping district" informed the man via the radio.

He looked at his partner. "Looks like one of our groups needs some help. I suggest you to stay in case the other group is in need of assistance" told the Chuunin.
He started to jog towards the southern part of the city. The saying "time is precious" rang especially true for medics.
