Sai had stopped by his apartment earlier to start some much needed laundry and get into new waterproof clothes. He peered out from his balcony, his eyes searching for a good place to start patrolling. After seeing a place that was fairly hidden from the street view, he vanished from the balcony and used a flash step to propel him towards the secretive alley he had spotted. Fairly certain that no one had seen him, he commenced his patrol. He first checked the area for any living beings. Aside from the city animals, there were only a few people around. It was getting to be late, around 8pm now. People were home, enjoying the company of their friends and family around a meal. Those who were still out were either hard workers, unfortunate souls or up to no good. Sai was looking for the last of the three.
The Chuunin's method of patrolling was simply moving from spot to spot, spending roughly ten minutes or so at each one. He would look around from angles where he was not easily spotted, such as an abandoned balcony or from the corner of a narrow alleyway. He had not seen much so far but still he kept himself vigilant. There were a few unsavory characters but Sai knew them personally. The most mischief they could get into was get drunk and pass out in front of a place where people often went. Those type of people were often dealt with in the morning. No, Sai was seeking something else. But as of now, there were no signs whatsoever. What was this rumor that caught Sai's attention?
Thinking back earlier, he remembered what he had heard two women say when he had gone into a teahouse to warm himself up after a long journey. He heard them whispering as they worked, for he was only one of two customers at the time. He heard them talk of a thief that eluded all capture, no matter what the trap. Even shinobi had failed to capture this thief, which then captured Sai's full attention. How was there someone capable of not being caught by even the shinobi of Amegakure? He had only but one clue to go on.
The phantom thief only goes after heirlooms.
