Protection Detail (Mission)

[Renyer]

"They probably belong to that farm over there. We better leave them alone" replied Minoru, Seraph nodded and agreed to leave the cows and horses alone. Minoru probably said that because he didn't want to start any trouble around this place, the team continued moving soon after Seraph and Minoru finished there talk about the cows and horses, soon they arrived at an orchard.

As they were walking Shimoko spotted someone with evil intentions, it was too far away for Minoru's byakugan to see it, but he still left it on, just in case the enemy comes closer, Minoru devised a plan for Seraph to follow,As the man came closer Seraph performed his kagemane technique and stopped him.

Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique)
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique) allows the user to extend their shadow on any surface, including water, and as far as they know and as long as there is sufficient area.
Special: "Holds Rat Seal" Technique performs after length of normal handseals.
Drawback: Tiring to use repeatedly. The ability is subject to some form of diminishing return and decreases in potency after repeated use. If the user is low on chakra, the performance rate of the technique also deteriorates. Insufficient lightning will make the technique less effective. A particularly strong opponent can also resist the shadow's forced imitation. May only change directions within the span of 60 degrees. When retracting the technique it may only retract by retracing where it has gone.
Description: Once the user's shadow comes in contact with the target's shadow, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements. The user and the target could both throw a kunai. It is recommended to keep all weapons in areas where they normally don't keep them.
First Learned user uses technique up to 10 meters. Each time learned gains an extra 10 meters.
After 50 meters user must train an extra 10 TP per tech - TP Does not go down by Class Level.
After 100 meters user must train an extra 10 TP per tech - TP Does not go down by Class Level.
After 150 meters user must train an extra 10 TP per tech - TP Does not go down by Class Level.
Cap of this technique is 200 meters.

Technique may travel 10 meters per second plus 5 meters per Class Level.
Every 20 meters user is able to split the shadow by 1 giving a maximum of 10 splits.
Each split shares the max amount of distance user is able to perform this technique.

Every time used in a single mission that is in the time-span of 1 I.C. day will reduce max distance by 5 meters.
User may hold an opponent for 4 rounds plus 1 round per 50 meters.
Every Class level the opponent is higher than user the time limit reduces by 1 round.
If user is a Master of the Clan the amount of rounds increases by 1 round.

When user's Chakra reduces by 1/4 their max distance reduces by 1/4. Same mathematics occurs the more chakra is used. (Use Honor System).
May only use other Nara Techniques in conjunction with this technique.

Limit: Must be part of the Nara Clan.

[Kyodai Hyuuga]

In this case there was little to do as Minoru and Seraph had the situation handled or so it seemed. Kyodai did what he could however, with the merchant's permission he jabbed his fingers into several nerve points on the merchant's body and it made the merchant feel really well. He was somewhat more resistant to pain or damage that could come to him. Other than that he had the merchant continue guiding the cart as Kyodai stayed beside him to remove him from harms way if he needed to. Kyodai other than that kept an eye out for other ambushes since everyone was concentrating on the man ahead.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: Let's wrap this up))

'Found you' thought the male as he walked a little closer. He made sure to stay hidden to avoid attention. His byakugan spotted two males behind an apple tree.
Said tree was 15 meters away. 'Here it goes!' thought Minoru as he formed the handseals.

His genjutsu reached the duo very soon. "What the - I can't feel my legs!" shouted the man. "Me neither! What's going on!?" shouted a voice with higher pitch. The young man stepped aside when his teammate completed his handseals.

'How fascinating' thought the Chuunin as he saw the jutsu in action. Said jutsu managed to stop one of the thieves in their tracks. But thief number two was still able to move a little.
"What are you doing here?" inquired the male while looking at him. He could see that the male had a functioning chakra network.

"I-We were doing nothing" claimed the man. "Oh? Why were you hiding behind the tree then? Pulling up weed?" replied the black-haired male in a dry voice. His animal companion was giving the thief a sharp look.

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" shouted a voice from behind. Minoru turned around to see who it was. A lean man in his late thirties were approaching them. His brown hair was cut short while his amber eyes were ablaze.

"Hello. We found these two men hiding behind that apple tree" greeted the young man. "That's what I thought they were doing. I just found two hungry groups of chickens in my coop. Which reminds me - you two were supposed to FEED THEM!" exclaimed the male brunette.

The duo apologized. "Thank you for finding them. I'll send a small notice to the Hokage tomorrow" told the man.
"No problem. Have a good day" replied the Chuunin with a smile on his face.

They would keep walking until they reached a suburban area. "I think we're getting close. Kyodai-san, could you ask him about the adress? We'll keep an eye back here. This area is busier than the countryside" told the male.

Jutsus and skills used [Minoru]:


Byakugan. Has learned the jutsu four times.
Rank: “C” Rank (special, see description).
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: An jutsu when activating allows the user the ability to constantly see chakra.
Special: ---
Drawback: May learn at a maximum of 5 times.
Description: An eye jutsu for the Hyūga clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white colour as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a “C” Rank technique taking up hand seals. The user is able to see through and thus ignore lighter forms of concealment, such as smoke or mist. The user may concentrate for an amount of hand seals equal to a “C” Rank technique while their byakugan is active to gain the see chakra and see through chakra effects for as long as the user concentrates and their byakugan remains active. Deactivating this ability takes up no movements. When the user learns this technique the first two times, they train it as a regular “C” Rank jutsu. When the user learns this technique the second two times, they train it as a “C” Rank jutsu +10 training points. When the user learns this technique the last time, they train it as a “C” Rank jutsu +20 training points.
Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan.


Improved uncanny dodge.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: The user can no longer be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This defense denies an opponent the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking them, unless the opponent has at least 4 more class points than the target does. class points is the invisible number found in between class levels.

* 5,500 to infinite training points: There is 1 class point every 800 training points.
* Total for Minoru [7140 TP]: 9 class points.

Example: User has improved uncanny dodge with 535 training points. An opponent with 900 training points can still perform sneak attacks while flanking the user.

Sense motive. Level: Advanced [63/125].
Rank: “E” Rank.
Skill: Skill.
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). The user can also use this skill to determine when "something is up" (that is, something odd is going on) or to assess someone's trustworthiness. Sense motive does not, however, allow a character to determine whether a given statement is a lie. In addition, a character can use this skill to make an assessment of a social situation. With a successful check (very difficult difficulty), the character can get the feeling from another's behaviour that something is wrong. Also, the character can get the feeling that someone is trustworthy and honourable. A sense motive check may be made as a reaction to another character's acting check. Try again: No, though user may make a sense motive check for each acting check made against the user. Look in task skills thread found in the skills and traits index for more information. If user has 25 or more ranks in evidence analysis user gains a synergy bonus +10 to sense motive. If user has 25 or more ranks in cultures user gains a synergy bonus +10 to sense motive when interacting with someone of said culture. Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill.
Limit: ---


Acting. Level: Expert [76/125].
Rank: “E” Rank (5 TP at all times).
Skill: Skill.
Effect: Acting enables a character to skilfully portray various roles.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Acting is most often used as a form of entertainment, though it can also be useful in aiding a disguise or pulling a scam. A skilled actor knows how to research their role in order to provide a realistic portrayal to include mannerisms, speech patterns, dialect or jargon. The acting skill also confers a cumulative 5% bonus (per level above unskilled) to disguise skill check rolls. The list below gives examples of mastery and what the character can do.

• Expert: Can independently 'invent' a role such as a lord, member of a cult, wealthy merchant, etc., and can dress and act the part with such skill that he can pass as that person.

Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill.

The duration of this technique lasts for 5 rounds per class level. This technique may be negated. The target hit by this jutsu feels their legs and arms become jelly like. This makes their ability to strike weaker than normal reducing striking attacks by 2 ranks. This jutsu also reduces the user's movements by 2.
Limit: Must know phantasm perception.




Jutsus and skills used [Shimoko]:


Detect evil.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A technique where an animal companion is able to sense if there is evil in a person by using their animal instincts.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: An animal has a keen sense that no other person has. With this type of keen sense it can read one's body type, feel the intentions emitting from the body, as well as get an understanding of everything. It doesn't matter what a person does, the way they stand, how calm they are, how much they move, how they walk, or even the heartbeat of the person, an animal is able to sense the type of person they are. With this technique the animal is capable of figuring out of the person is perhaps an Evil intentioned character. This will help the animal feel threatened or feel more at eased, or to perhaps not even care or feel if one is perhaps suspicious in some way.
Limit: Must have an animal companion.



Jutsus and skills used [Toshio]:


Scent.
Rank: “D”, “C” Rank.
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 two 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” Rank 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.
Limit: Must be an animal, fey, monster or vermin. Innate animal jutsu.


Detect evil.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A technique where an animal companion is able to sense if there is evil in a person by using their animal instincts.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: An animal has a keen sense that no other person has. With this type of keen sense it can read one's body type, feel the intentions emitting from the body, as well as get an understanding of everything. It doesn't matter what a person does, the way they stand, how calm they are, how much they move, how they walk, or even the heartbeat of the person, an animal is able to sense the type of person they are. With this technique the animal is capable of figuring out of the person is perhaps an evil intentioned character. This will help the animal feel threatened or feel more at eased, or to perhaps not even care or feel if one is perhaps suspicious in some way.
Limit: Must have an animal companion.


Sekondo nen (Second sense) [10 + 20].
Rank: “D”, “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
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 brawler 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. If an opponent comes to a brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. 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 “D” Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is “C” Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a brawler.

[Kyodai Hyuuga]

(OOC: Agreed)

Kyodai simply looked to the merchant in response to the question. And the merchant in turn pointed into the distance where one could see a small port town. It was too small to be called a town really, it was a small fishing village from the looks of it. Maybe fifty to a hundred people lived there and most would be out fishing at this time of day. There goal was finally in sight. It was no specific address, he would just need to make it to the market square and set up his cart as a stall to sell and buy wares until it was time to move on again. Here though he would be able to higher some sailors and warf toughs to get him to his next destination as was the life of a traveling merchant.

[Renyer]

Seraph looked to the merchant waiting from his response to answer Minoru's question which was, just information needed by the group of three to find out were the village is.The man pointed to a distance up ahead, Seraph stared at the place which was pointed at by the merchant, the village didn't look to big at first sight, but maybe you would see different parts of the village if you got closer. It looked like there job was done, after some sailors were hired to take to the merchant to another place.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: Sorry for the long wait! Had to catch up with my work))


'Hm. This looks like a nice place' thought the male as they approached the village. They would follow the merchant to a large square.
Minoru saw there were multiple stands there that sold different goods. Today was apparently market day.

"I would like to thank the three of you for following me here. I don't need any more help now. Give this to the Hokage please" told the senior.
He gave Minoru a slip that was signed with his name. The young man put it in his flak jacket straight away.

"No problem sir. It was nice to do a mission outside of Konoha for once. Have a good day" told the Chuunin.
He turned his attention to the two people in his team. There was a satisfied smile on his face.

"You two did a really good job. I'm glad I got such competent Genins to accompany me. I suppose we can go back home to the village now" said the male.
The mission was complete without any issues. It was time to go back home to Konoha now.

[Kyodai Hyuuga]

(OOC: It's no problem. )

Kyodai nodded and turned to start their way back home. Mission wasn't complete until they made it back to their village. But he didn't expect much trouble for the three of them. Especially as it would take someone truly desperate to attack the three of them without any goods involved. So with the other two he would make good time heading to the village.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

They kept walking until they reached the thick forest. His animal companions stayed a bit further ahead.
'Oh well. This went quite well' concluded the male as they approached the village. His byakugan did not pick up anything weird.

Minoru entered the forest moments later. Shimoko was high up in the air while Toshio was on his left.
'Maybe I should find him a girlfriend. He won't be with me forever' thought the young man. His body disappeared moments later thanks to the shadow.
