With Friends Like These (Sannin Mission)

[Deleted]

[1/3]

"I refuse to go out of my way to make your life any easier. Especially after you blatantly attacked me." The ninja said coldly. The sheer insolence this woman showed was remarkable. Here at the village he was a Jounin and a anbu captain. He was personally chosen to report on this woman's leadership. While competent and effective she was not suited to leading others. In all sense of the word he was her senior yet her attitude towards him, the fact she physically attacks her subordinates was enough for him to cast his vote to fail her. If the others considered her worth keeping in the mission then they could deal with her for the rest of the mission. She would need to convince both of them now in order to pass. That was all he would say as he turned his back on Loki. "I hope you can lead the other two better because I refuse to carry on with you under these conditions." The Uchiha said plainly. "I'll be heading back to the village to report to lord hokage tonight." He said as he returned his own glare back at the woman. 

This report he was going to make would be the only thing he could do in his power to make sure this cold unfeeling and callous woman never reached control of the Shinobi force in leaf. And he had enough ammunition to finish his own side of the report.

"We have no use for ninja who abandon their mission. I'll be sure to make my report about your failures as well. If you think that was an attack... then I don't know how someone with such a delicate ass got into a place of influence. Kinz may need to rethink that appointment." Rize said uncaring to the "Anbu Captain" as he left, he was nothing, but an someone who clearly could get over his own perceived greatness to play the role he was assigned. No lower ranking ninja who wished to keep there position or life, would act the way that he did. He was a failure as a ninja, and detrimental to the team cohesion from the start. They had no need for him. "Well, now that the dead weight is out of the way. Rest up. Tori you take first watch for 4 hr. I will take watch after that till morning. I don't need much rest, and we need to make sure our medic is top form, since the other one has decided to abandon his mission."

Rize would dismiss them as she would take the cloth in her hand once again, taking in it's scent. As she took in the scent she looked around the area for signs of these seedless flowers that the medic had brother up. It shouldn't take her long to get a read on what direction she needed to go with the information gathered by the other two. After making her initial search she found herself as spot to rest for 4 hours. Once her Shift started she would have plenty of time to go over the area, if she didn't find anything now.

Observation: 300

-Scent-

SPOILER: Click to show

Scent
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: This extraordinary special quality allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The creature can detect opponents within 10-meters by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 20-meters; if downwind, it drops to 5-meters. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at x2 the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk, can be detected at x3 normal range. When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a movement to note the direction of the scent. Whenever the creature comes within 2-meters of the source, the creature pinpoints the source’s location. When finding Herbs and Animals (random), Scent may improve searching for them (must have Scent of object previously before searching). Learning "D" Rank allows the user to search for Common things, while "S" for Nearly Impossible. Each rank user learns increases chance of finding by 2% for the Rank of Herb, and increases per Rank thereafter. Example: At "S" Rank User gains 10% increase chance in finding Common Herbs and Animals but only 2% Increase for Nearly Impossible Herbs and Animals.

[Now there were 3]

The other ninja looked visibly unhappy with the state of things. The small healer understood where the uchiha was coming from. But the Hyuuga agreed with Loki. Those Owl anbu were always the first ones to crack when things got tough. He thought to himself. He nodded at Loki's orders and the Falcon Anbu gazed into the forest keeping careful watch. 

Loki's examination would reveal a very distinct smell from the fabric. A faint scent of detergent, fresh wet dirt and something she would identify as the light scent of salt peter in the fabric. Loki's examination of the plants in the area would show that several of the paths, though with footprints, still had flowers growing near them. Implying that those trails were long since cold. Eliminating 2 of the false leads her gem had given her.

(giving you the option to skip to morning if you like)

Loki awakened 4hrs later to begin her shift. She was also going to use this time to continue to narrow down the direction that the group would need to head in. She took the cloth and sniffed it once again, The scent of salt peter and detergent, should be enough to get her in the right direction. That Salt peter, also would inform her that the target more than likely had a host of explosives on him, or at the very less, explosive ingredients. If that was the case she could perhaps widen her search a bit, but keep her focus on the Salt peter and detergent. She sniffed around the area where the Hyuuga found the piece of clothing and would continue in a circle until she got a trail that she could follow. She had time, the Sun was not yet raising, and the others were still resting.

[Deleted]

[Tracking]

Loki's observation added with the new information to track down a specific scent would give her new direction. She would after some searching come across another small thread caught on a small branch heading to the north along a path. Towards this direction was several pair of tracks heading into the woods themselves. It would be a few hours before the rest of them would be stirring up. With a firm idea of where to head it was just a matter of when she wanted to chase the trail.

Rize knelt down as she found another piece of clothing. She sniffed the cloth and then surrounding area to get a better scent profile on her target. She would also looked over the tracks to make sure to memorize the foot prints so that she could better track them through the forest. After memorizing the footprints, she knew exactly where they needed to head to, she was wait till first light. She needed to make sure that they got as much rest as possible before. Once first light hit Rize would wake up the others, "I discovered our target direction, get ready we'll leave shortly." Once the they were ready to go, Rize turned to them and said to the Hyuuga, "Nothing has changed, keep that Byakugan ahead. Also watch for any possible traps. I detected Salt Peter. It is possible that there have explosives on hand."

Rize would then motion for them to follow as she took off into a series of forward leaps, as she sprang through the forest at a pace that the others could keep up with. She looked over her shoulder for a moment to make sure they could keep pace, with her. She then turned her attention back over to the trail.

[The Forest]

After a short while walking the hyuuga would stop and put his hand on his head. They had been traveling a good while and his eyes were starting to lose focus. "I can't keep my Byuakugan on much longer." He reported to Loki as his eyes faded back to their milky white. The footprints continue on the trail for a while until they would lead out into a large village. The tracks themselves would be covered with other tracks as they approached. 

Large fields of rice paddies littered the landscape as farmers wadded through the shallow waters tending to their crops. Villagers babbled about the usual going ons in the town, the occasional grumble of price xy or z, the talk of upcoming harvests and local family members. In essence this village was absolutely quaint.

They arrived at a small village and Rize looked over her shoulder as the Hyuuga said he could hold his byakugan any longer. "That's fine, they should be around here somewhere." Rize reached into her half pouch and and pulled out 2 gems. She placed a Hiraishin seal on each of them before handing them to the two of them. "Hold on to these. If you get in a tight spot, throw it in the general direction of the enemy." After giving them the gem, she folded her arms, and then said, "I don't want you two going off alone. So you two group together to search for the target, that way. Keep our medic safe. I'll be searching for them over in that direction. If yyou find the target do not engage, just toss one of the gem off to the side. We'll meet back here in 15 mins if nothing has been discovered. Let's move quickly, and try to keep to the shadows, we don't want to draw their attention." Rize would dismissed the two of them, to handle there search, as she would go off to handle hers.

She took out the cloth and sniffed it again, after getting a fresh scent up her nose, she would fade into the shadow and followed the scent of washing detergent and Saltpeter. It shouldn't prove to be that difficult to locate the target.

[Entering the Village]

The group nodded as the two of them moved to the western edge of the village. The group was hardly inconspicuous but that didn't matter much. They were still in the land of fire and most the villagers were very loyal to the hokage. 

As Loki herself would move into the village the smell of salt peter would become really faint as there was a ton of overwhelming smells in the area. Trash from dumpsters, restaurants serving food hundreds of people and their day to day smells would fill the air. But thanks to Loki's keen sense of smell she would be able to track the smell moving to the western part of town. 

It would eventually lead her to the town hall of the village, a four story building that held all the important documents and court rooms for the small village.

[Where are you, punk?]

Rize stood before the the building and kept herself hidden within the shadows. the scent trail had lead her here and that meant that they would have to be here somewhere, in the building. Or at the very least this building was were they where last spotted. Awhile remaining hidden, she put her googles on and activated the X-rays vision that they possessed. With the X-ray vision and then the Zooming function lens she should be able to scan through the entirety of the building before she would have to set a foot inside. She was not only looking for her target but for the sighs of traps or maybe even hostages they might have taken.

Loki's X-rays and observation would reveal there were close to 30-40 people trapped inside in various rooms. Clearly bound with their hands tied behind their backs. 15 individuals walking around brandishing weapons were moving huge drums of equipment back and forth. He knowledge of alchemy and demolitions would have her easily tell that there was massive amounts of explosives that littered the building. Enough to level the town hall and take out half the village.

[Let's try this again...]

Rize sighed as this was a lot more annoying than she was hoping it would be. She couldn't go in just yet with out covering all of her basis first. She placed a Hiraishin seal on the ground were she was, and then Hiriahsin away, appearing inside of his shadow, while she continued to keep yourself hidden. She would say to the 2 ninja, I have found our target, but there is some complications... about 50 of them." Rize grabbed the two of them by the shoulders, and the vanished with a Hiraishin. They would appear at the exact spot where she had left and she would being to give out orders.

"Tori Use your Byakugan, check the strength level of the hostage takers. As far as I can tell there are 15 in total, although some maybe hiding among the civilians. Hiraku, if you possess the Status Medical skill place in on the group now. I will scan the building for all possible exits." Rize would instruct everyone to begin their duties, as the X-ray lens flared up again, as she looked through the wall to find all signs of exit that were available. They would need to close of each of those, expect one to get the hostages through.

"Roger that!" The girl cried out through the headset. After just a moment the ninja would start to scan the building herself. "It seems a lot of the hostages have been put under with some sort of sedative, they seem half conscious." The girl concluded. The Hyuuga began to scan the building once more as his eyes, though strained still had a few more minutes of use to them. After a few minutes of scanning he would deactivate his dojutsu.

"Most of them are pretty weak, high rank C - Low rank B. But there is one of them there who is an A rank. I'm guessing that's our guy. But I'm seeing something... There seems to be... chakra threads? Yeah some sort of chakra thread running through the place and into the hostages and the explosives." The man informed.

Loki's view from her location would show a front door, a back door and dozens and dozens of full length windows across each of the floors.

[This should be simple enough.]

Rize listened to what they all where saying and quickly proceed all of it. "Where is the exact Locaton of our target right now?" Rize would ask as she looked up at the build with her X-ray lens to make sure she got the exact location of the man that they were looking for."Tori, you're a Hyuuga... whether you are a Branch Member or Main Branch, you should know a Jyuuken tech that allows you cut chakra constructs it's a very basic technique. Those chakra constructs would include those chakra wires." Rize continued to scan the building seeing if there was anything else she should be keeping track of, or could help her.

"I will draw their attention, while going for the target directly. While I do that Tori you cut the wires, and Hiraku you get as many hostages as you can out there. Tori once you have handled the wires, depose of explosives. Once you have completed you tasks, join me at the target. If I have not captured him by then. Understood?" Rize would wait for them to answer, and wait for Tori to give her the exact Location of the target so she could keep track of him herself while she was on the move, so that he could focus his attention on cutting those wires.

"Hold on there boss." The hyuuga said quickly into the mic. "It's not as simple as cutting some threads. From what it looks like if the wrong thread is cut it might set off the explosion." The Hyuuga said as he watched it from afar. "The target himself is on the second floor in a conference room... Just a warning it seems like his mind is directly linked with the chakra wiring. Mind effecting techniques or killing him might set the bombs off too. If that wasn't enough... removing the hostages could set the bombs off as well." The hyuuga said a bit exasperated.

[That's Annoying...]

"I see... That makes things... slightly annoying." Rize thought on it for a moment, and then side. "Alright change of plans. I'm going to Remove him and the explosives from the equation altogether." Rize said as she looked at her current location. And then looked up over at the building. She sighed as she began to walk back to the the town entrance and then traveled nearly 30 more meter to it's outskirts. She bent down and Placed a Hiraishin seal there in the ground. After she had placed the seal, she teleported back to the seal she had left at her last position where she was spying the building the target was in. "While I teleport him and his bombs away. You two help the hostages, and take out the minions. Tori take the front Door, Hiraku you take the back. We will have to time it right. Head to your positions now."

Rize would wait for the two of them to get to where they needed to be. Once they were there she instructed, "Wait till you hear the explosion." Rize looked up at the building and then faded from view as she coated herself with an extremely powerful Invisible Genjutsu(DC = 57; Roll twice take worst roll). It was one of her trademark genjutsu, allowing her to perform with more power, and few hands seals that the vast majority of others who used it. It would not only make her invisible but render her immune to all forms of detection. She exudes no scent and radiates a silence that absorbs all sound and vibration in a 2-meter radius, preventing detection by Tremorsense and similar abilities. It renders her immune to detection by See Invisibility, and other forms that would make someone see including Blindesense.

After her Superior Invisiblity was activated she floated up into the air, making her way to where her target was. She became intangible as she floated through the walk. Once she saw her target and was sure of his presences, she would made her way towards him. Even will cloaked in a superior invisibly she was making sure to be as stealthy as possible as she made her way to him. Once he was in range, she reached out and quickly, grabbed him by the shoulder. In that instant, he found himself in a field on the outside of town, surround by his Explosives. His explosives were linked to his chakra, so Rize was able to drag the explosives along with him.

[Boom!]

Loki's plan would go off without a hitch. She would run through the building with little resistance as the ninja started to get into position. The ninja weren't really familiar with how these types of travel techniques worked. So they went ahead with her plan. They would wait to spring into action when they hear the explosion.

Loki would sneak past all these people and guards with no issue, but when she approached the target and grabbed him, not only would the explosives move as well as they teleport, but so would everything connected.  Meaning the hostages as well. Everyone would find themselves in an open field outside of town. The man panicked and would try to flip the switch blowing all the explosives up and killing the hostages in a giant inferno!

[Chill Out..]

She looked around to see that the hostages had come with her. She groaned a bit, as she saw the trigger in the man's hand. She wass still very much invisible to everyone around, and as such, should have no problem snatching the device from the man's hand. As she snatched the trigger from his right had she sent a kick to his side that would knock him off his feet. Not only was he lifted into the air by the kick but an explosion of cold air escaped Rize's foot as a Skadi's Cry Arrow head would explode, turning the man into a Block of ice. He would still be alive... for the moment. Or at the very least long enough for her to disarm the explosives.

After taking care of the man. Rize turned her attention to disarming each of the explosive barrels. She then contacted the others, "Change of plans... it seemed the hostages connected deeper to the bombs than expected. I have them all here, and have captured the target. However... I do not like the idea of leaving the ones in the building. Tori hold your position. Hiraku...hold tight." Once Rize broke communication, she would appear next to Hiraku. Touching her by the shoulder, she teleported her back to where the Hostages now rested. "Help them... while we finish taking out the trash. Be sure to watch the prisoner. Report the instant he begin to move." 

Rize went to take her position near the exit. At this point she was sure the followers on the inside were in a panic about what was going on. What happened next would send them into a frenzy making them quick work from even the greenest of genin. Rize to her position, "Now..." She commanded. She then phased through the door, still being invisible she would draw her guns getting ready to reek devastation on her unsuspecting enemies.

Loki's quick reaction time would freeze the target and her quick reaction time and knowledge of demolitions would make short work of the target. The rest of the clean up would go smoothly and without incident with Loki fighting alongside her fellow Jounin and first real squad. With the target in TOW and the mission over with they team would travel back to the village without incident. 

Report #1 
"Candidate is recommended for failure. Show's little regard or empathy for her subordinates going as far as to use genjutsu to humiliate them and jutsu to cause them great pain and fling them around with no prompting. A leader like this would likely not see value in human lives."

Report #2
"Candidate is clearly talented in field agent work. Powerful, cunning and confident. Perhaps over confident. While the candidate did clearly have the capability to see past our disguise and complete the mission almost alone. She showed a quick temper and prone to violence. She seems like she would be better suited in field work over a leadership role. Recommending consideration from Sannin omit Title of Jounin Commander. 

Report #3
"Candidate showed fantastic, no nonsense style leadership. Quick to put down insubordination and take command of her squad. Clearly phenomenal at assessing strengths and weaknesses of the party. With her at the head of the Jounin Corps Konoha's enemies will cower. Recommending Consideration for Jounin Commander.
