CENTRAL SERVICES

Sanitation Annex | Sunagakure No Sato |

A small, barely noticeable building only a few meters in size, with few windows and lonely old cobwebs. It's official purpose in the Sunagakure No Sato archives is listed as "Sanitation Annex-Discontinued", and seldom few people are even remotely aware that it exists. It is completely unremarkable and dull. No one comes here; they'd have no reason to.

There are no guards because...there's nothing to guard. Inside of the building there is only a single room, and in that room is a man sitting on a chair, eating an apple. If you walk into the building, he will see you, and he will say "Great day to be alive, isn't it?" in a tired old voice that sounds as if it is a struggle to form a sentence.

If you answer, or if you do not, a few seconds after he has posed his question, you will die.

ANBU DRAFT

CENTRAL SERVICES BUILDING 990018-452-StE3

The ANBU (暗部;"ANBU Black Ops"; Literally meaning "Dark Side"), short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊; Literally meaning "Special Assassination and Tactical Squad"), take orders directly from the Kage, performing special high-level missions, such as assassinations and torture. The ANBU usually work in teams formed to the requirements of the mission, ensuring maximum success. The shinobi in the ANBU are hand-picked by the Kage; chosen for their individual capabilities and special skills. Age, gender, background, or previous rank bear no weight in this decision. Members can also leave the organisation and return to their original position, though they are known to retain strong ties with ANBU even after leaving. Though most wear their masks even in their own village, for their identity as an ANBU agent is to be known only by the Kage and village elders, The Village Hidden In The Sand is unique.

Sunagakure Shinobi are already considered to be a cut above the rest, and as such, any Sand Ninja wishing to become a member of the ANBU is capable of doing so, provided they (1) Have met their Division Specific individual requirements, and (2) Have the available Miscellaneous Slots for their Division.

Now, I know gaining ANBU isn't easy. The requirements alone can be taxing, and it seems that keeping up with completing these missions in a timely manner has proven difficult. So naturally, i've developed a better way to allow this to happen. Hopefully you guys enjoy it (even though you can still go about ANBU the old fashioned way and just slowly gather the missions and what not you need as you progress).


I'd like to introduce you to the ANBU Draft Mission Pack.

---

Essentially, the ANBU Draft Mission Pack is almost like a Mini-Event, only, it will be 'GM'D' largely by YOU, as you begin your quest towards ANBU. Taking ONE of the missions from the Mission Pack is essentially taking ALL of them, and once started, well....you're GOING to complete them because I'm going to help you, and give you some actual incentives along the way. All missions in the Mission Pack are Multi-Division, meaning you can begin the Mission Pack regardless of which Division of ANBU you'd like to go through. Returning to the Kage's Tower to receive Kage Approval is really all you'll need to do.

Once you start the first mission of the Mission Pack, you MUST complete the rest in order to receive your final payment. What's that? Yeah, completing just one or two of these missions isn't enough. You get the lump sum of payments from all these missions only when you complete the final IM. Now, if you require a Chuunin NPC to help you along, ONE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU, GM'd by yours truly. For the final IM, the ninja from another village that you meet WILL be a PC, so no two potential ANBU will meet the same informant.

The Cool Thing: As long as your at least C rank, if you complete all of the following missions, you can join ANBU no matter what Division you want to go into, they were designed to include ALL of the requirements for EVERY Division.

Pretty slick, huh?

---

Now, before you ask "BUT NAITOME-SAMA, WHAT IF MORE THAN ONE OF US WANTS TO DO THE MISSION PACK AT THE SAME TIME, HOW ARE WE ALL GONNA DO THE SAME MISSIONS WHEN THEY'RE THIS SPECIFIC?!?!".

With style, that's how you're gonna do it.

As more people take the missions on, they will adapt to reflect that change. I'll make sure you can still take your own missions on, and that they'll be unique for each shinobi. I'll even come in and NPC characters as they get new information and relay it to you.

So trust me.


Or I'll kill you. ;D

Reward: 6,000 Ryo | Secret File Decoder | Indecipherable Message



ANBU Black Ops - The Fallen Agent
Rank: B
IIC Length: 1 day
Difficulty: Hard
Posting Length: As long as it takes.
Description: The file decoder you've received hints at something called Operation: Coldfront. Apparently, a former ANBU agent failed a very important mission, and was hot on the trail of whoever is responsible for an attack against an as of yet unidentified Ally of Sand. Travel to the Hidden Sand Outpost in Yozamu (Cold Night), and complete the assassination mission in the fallen agents place, while the ANBU stationed there use the File Decoder to try and understand the strange message.
Objective: You have been assigned 3 targets, directly from the Kage, known as the Laughing Winters. Two are former missing ninja and one is a ninja of the Hidden Snow. You must first head into greater Yuki No Kuni, search for, and find The Hidden Snow Village. There you will be taken before Ace Debuntler Onta, the current Yukikage. Speaking to him, you will uncover as much information as you can (not only about the village, but about the type of person he is, what his motivations and purpose are), and learn the last known whereabouts of the Laughing Winters. After safely leaving the village, head to the Sand Outpost, where you will be given the first file your decoder was able to decipher.
Reward: 5,000 Ryo | File#99881-A.



ANBU Black Ops - In From The Cold
Rank: B
IIC Length: 1 day
Difficulty: Hard
Posting Length: Minimum 7 Posts
Description: Scout out the surrounding area, and ensure the safe passage of Sand Ninja in the territory surrounding the Outpost, while they decipher the next part of the message.
Objective:By bringing in outsiders, the third member of the Laughing Winters, who is a ninja of the Snow, will no doubt attempt to halt your progress; this is intentional, you MUST draw him out of hiding; you will most likely have better luck by visiting a nearby tavern or tourist location and bringing them up in conversation. You must assassinate him as soon as possible, he is the leader, poses the largest threat, and without him, the other two will lose a vital part of their team. He will also most likely carry information as to the whereabouts and identities of the other two members.
Reward: 6,000 Ryo | File#99881-B



ANBU Black Ops - A Walk To Remember
Rank: B
IIC Length: 1 day
Difficulty: Hard
Posting Length: Minimum 7 Posts
Description: You know the identities of your enemies, but the road between them and you is treacherous and long, and the next part of the message (telling you where they are) will require the code expertise of the Daimyo of Wind Country. Luckily, he's sent his Son to the Sand Outpost, and this might be your chance to impress him. Escort the child back to Sunagakure safely, showing him as much as you can to pique his interest in the village, while ensuring he is not killed in the process. He is ALWAYS a target, and is aware of this, but craves adventure and excitement. Handle this with extreme care, for if you can gain the Wind Daimyo's favor, he will surely help you figure out the next part of the code.
Objective: Escort the Wind Daimyo's son from Yuki No Kuni to Sunagakure. Do not let him be harmed in any way.
Reward: 6,000 Ryo


ANBU Black Ops - Ties That Bind
Rank: B
IIC Length: 1 day
Difficulty: Hard
Posting Length: Minimum 7 Posts
Description: If you've successfully completed the last mission, then the Daimyo's son is impressed, and all that's left is to take him back to his father, whose finally arrived at the Hidden Sand outpost in Yuki No Kuni. Once you get back, he shouldn't have a problem with helping you decode the next part of the message...unfortunately, the Daimyo's son has other plans. HE wants to go visit another country first, a land whose tough reputation might match the stories he's read about in his fathers chronicling of shinobi. Can you safely navigate a dangerous foreign nation, and still make it back to the Sand Outpost? You'd better.
Objective: Take the Daimyo's son to visit one of the tough ninja nations he's heard about (Tsuchi No Kuni, Mizu No Kuni, Ame No Kuni, Oto No Kuni, Taki No Kuni, or Kusa No Kuni).
Reward: 6,000 Ryo | File#99881-C



ANBU Black Ops - The Enemy Of My Enemy
Rank: B
IIC Length: 1 day
Difficulty: Hard
Posting Length: Minimum 7 Posts
Description: You know where the last two Laughing Winters are! Unfortunately, there alot closer to home than you thought. Right next door, in fact, hiding in the city known as Sukuinushi no Shinseina Basho. They've declared war against the village, and have recently attacked a large number of people in a public market. They've enclosed the area in an odd field of chakra that prevents its non-ninja citizens from interfering, but perhaps with your skills, you could break through and help save a few lives.
Objective: Those inside the barrier are in critical condition. Break through, and heal them yourself (if you are a medic),or safely deliver them to a nearby hospital for treatment. But time is of the essence. The last two members of the Laughing Winters will no doubt strike again.
Reward: 6,000 Ryo | "Savior's Ally" Custom Title


ANBU Black Ops - Capture
Rank: B
IIC Length: 1 day
Difficulty: Hard
Posting Length: Minimum 7 Posts
Description: If you have successfully helped the city, perhaps its Leader might have more information that may help you along your journey. She may even know of any outsiders who've just recently come to her domain, and where to find them...
Objective: After speaking with the cities leader, you should be able to discover the location of the Laughing Winters HQ. They are to be captured and interrogated using any means necessary to determine their involvement in the situation known as Operation: Coldfront. You may kill them afterwards if you wish, but their bodies must be returned to the Hidden Sand outpost. If they have anything on them of importance to the shinobi world, take that as well.
Reward: 6,000 Ryo | Unnamed File



Interactive Mission: The Informant (File Delivery)
Rank: C [IM]
IIC Length: 1 day
Difficulty: Hard
Posting Length: Minimum 7 Posts. *Special Requirement, the number of Posts is slightly raised from a typical C ranked mission, as it is for ANBU and more dangerous. It remains a C rank because you WILL be completing this mission Solo.
Description: The Kazekage has placed informants in various other villages throughout the Major and Minor nations alike. These informants act his eyes and ears, relaying incredibly valuable data that helps Sunagakure stay a step ahead of its enemies at all times. Unfortunately, one of these informants has seemingly vanished; they've missed their normal monthly check in and have not been seen or heard from in quite some time. Because this Informant is a actually a shinobi from a different village, it is highly likely that they have either been caught by their own Ninja....or worse....betrayed the sand. You MUST deliver the files you've amassed so far to this Informant. Find out what's happened to them by traveling to their last known location. If they have been discovered by their own village, then ensure not only their continued safety, but also that they are provided enough assistance to continue delivering valuable information to The Sand, and get them the files. If they have betrayed us, then ensure their permanent silence, as well as the silence of those they've had contact with, by any means necessary. You MUST safely return those files to the Hidden Sand afterwards, or it could spell disaster for the village.
Reward: 3,100 Ryo

This thread is to be considered Invite Only.


Those who wish to become Sunagakure ANBU will, after informing your Kazekage of course, post in this thread, detailing your arrival at this building. I will GM the start of your Mission Pack, and you'll be able to continue the missions from there.


Good Luck.
