Description: A man named the hawk was spotted wandering the streets of Tanzaku town. He has a bounty for killing a family for money and has been on the run ever since.

Reward: 9,000

Kinko walked through Tanazaku town with a care free look on her face. Her slingshot lay inside her chest for safe keeping in case of any emergency or combat needed. Recently the cheerful red head had lost a lot of coin getting a new sling shot and buying some ammo and of course to upgrade said equipment she would need more. Sighing she looked around the bustling city for any signs of work.  It wasn't until long she spotted a tavern that read Shokugekio on it's large sign as she smiled and headed towards it.

It didn't take long for Kinko to reach the door as she walked in stopping to take a look at the place. It was a little run down and slightly empty at the moment and only 2 other people were in the room besides her. The bartender and a single customer seated at the bar quietly sipping away at his drink. Walking up to a stool Kinko using her feminine charm would give a bright smile to the man." Excuse me sir? You wouldn't happen to  know where a girl like me could find some work around here? And I mean the down and dirty, don't let me appearance fool you now." She would say as it was actually the man seated a seat away from her who responded. He had long black hair held in a ponytail with a scar on his right cheek and dark skin with a overall rough face.Pulling out a sheet of paper he slid it across the table towards Kinko as she saw the wanted sign of a bald guy wearing a strawhat and sharp features.

This man here has been spotted in this town. We need someone to be able to take him out and i'm assuming this is the type of work you meant?" Before he had even started talking Kinko's eyes lit up as she snatched the paper looking at the 9,000 ryo bounty. It wasn't a lot but it was a start. The man would cough at the girl to get her attention and finish his explanation." He is a well known taijutsu fighter around his area and was responsible for killing a man's family. Watch out kid." The guy would say as Kinko stood up saluting and headed out the tavern doors.

Kinko & Adventure

Tetsu found himself visiting a bar after having just gotten over such a horrible hang over from the events that had taken place in the embassy. Yawning as he entered, he scanned the room for anything that seemed interesting; which in all honesty it wasn't. Sighing with discontent at the wooden floors and the boozed up smell, Tetsu really wasn't a fan of drinking in all truth. He hated the smell of the stuff and even more so hated how it made one feel afterwards. "This place...it's sucks." She said bluntly as he slowly brought himself over towards the bar with as look of indifference. His appearance was clean and was to his best ability semi-decent. It's kind of hard to recover after getting wasted at an embassy part after all. Someone had to do it, or else Loki would have made fun of me...that tool, he thought fondly of his friend who always took every chance he could to make fun of Tetsu. Sighing as he brought himself over to one of the bar stools next to some girl who was looking for some work or something. "gosh...why look for work in such a dank place?" he said shaking his head as he readjusted his tie, and refastened his black tactical vest. 

Tetsu's vest covered his torso as if it were body armor as he mentally checked all of the gear he had brought with him. His vest housed four kunai knives in his back vest pouch. His front breast pouches housed 6 regular knives and 30 bo shuriken as well. His weapons were fairly light seeing as he normally didn't rely on weapons to get the job done. His grenade pouches housed two small scrolls and a world map as well. His gear was decent; however it wasn't anything to worry about. His black dress pants and white shirt made him look like kind of like a police officer as his dress shoes tapped against the bar itself. Taking one of his 4 cigarette packs and one of his 5 lighters, He quickly stuck one of the 12 remaining cigarettes into his mouth, flicking the lighter to ignited the end. He watched as the girl received a bounty from the shady looking fellow to their left as he puffed a bit of smoke from his mouth. 


"yo," he said blankly as he glanced his eyes to the side to look at the girl beside him. She was fairly attractive; however Tetsu figured there was more to things than that. She probably was just another mercenary who was looking for another buck...or perhaps a prostitute or something. He thought as he wondered if she would even respond. He felt his head turning to the side as he leaned on the bar to inquire about the mission she was carrying. "Mind if I tag along? Seems like a bit much for just one girl." He said calmly as his green eyes explored her expression to see what it was with this young lady. Not that he had much to add, seeing as he was the weakest member of his shinobi team back in the village. He kept a calm composure as he remembered the 80 explosive tags, 80 fake explosive tags, and 80 sealing tags in his left breast pockets. Taking a moment to keep his eyes on the woman he did his best to not blink as he waited for a response.

[kinko]

Before exiting the doors Kinko would stop and turn to the man who spoke to her. "Sure your very well free to tag along. However don't expect me to share the reward." Kinko would say with a straight and serious face before heading outside to wait for the man. When she had a mission of any seriousness Kinko didn't play and was always ready to make sure she did a job well done. Not to mention now she practically had a sacrificial pawn to get rid of as well which was almost like a gift from the heavens.

Kinko quickly checked over here gear in her buttbag as well as the slingshot buried in her chest for safe keeping before putting everything back to were it was. The guy who had given her the bounty had explained the guy she was after was well versed in taijutsu nicknamed the hawk and was also a chakra molder. Pondering on how he got the name most likely from some type of aerial attack or using his hands as chakra claws or something of the sort. It wouldn't matter anyway since the shuriken and marbles packed in her marbles would allow her to kill this guy pretty quick so she could this fast cash anyway. Done with her thoughts Kinko folded her arms tapping her foot looking back to the door ready to leave the guy if he didn't hurry up.

[Ace Detective Nara]

"ugh...whatever" He said with a sigh as he pulled himself up from the stool he had been sitting on and made his way after the woman with his hands in his pockets. The look he got from the girl's face as she ran past him reminded him a lot of how Amarante's look of self-interest, Tetsu sighed as he realized that this woman would more than likely think him to be bait, or some sort of fodder that could be ordered around at whim. Shaking his head, he shoved his hands in his pockets and made his way outside after the woman. "Yo" He greeted the girl with nonchalance as he felt the smoke roll off of his cigarette. He figured that if this woman tried anything, he would easily be able to stop her. Looking her over, he noticed a few interesting things about the woman's gear. She wasn't very heavily armed, he thought to himself as he thought of all the mercenary like people he had dealt with before. He was more heavily armed than she was; which was saying something since he was perfectly capable of using the Kagemane no jutsu. 

"So who is it you're hunting?" He asked quickly approaching her as he reached his hand out of his pocket to take a look at the slip that was in her hand. If she would allow him to take a look, he would analyze the sheet before shaking his head. "hmmm...you know more importantly I guess I should know who you are first before we go off to kill this tool named Hawk." Tetsu said as her would release the paper back into the woman's care as he thought about the fellow's name. Hawk, what a stupid name, he thought to himself as she quickly allowed the woman to lead the way to wherever they would end up going. "Anyway, my name's Tetsu," He said giving her a slight nod while holding his stoic appearance as she waited for her to introduce herself or get moving towards their target.

[kinko]

Kinko would give Tetsu as he called himself the warrant paper and start explaining. "That man's name is the Hawk and apprently he killed a family over money. But the important stuff is that he is supposedly well versed in taijutsu and also a chakra molder. " Kinko turned her back to the man looking ahead checking the streets. "I wasn't sure or not if he was named the Hawk for using aerial attacks or possibly being able to make claws of chakra or both of those being both false."
Just for safe measure Kinko decided to pull out her slingshot which rested in her chest with her left hand stretching out her left shoulder. When Tetsu was done reaching out the paper she grabbed it with her left hand and stored it in her butt bag.

"Call me Kinko, and I was thinking of setting up a trap for the guy. It seems he cares about money right? Make a contest only another person applicable in combat would be and he'll come straight to us assuming that we both just recently came here and he has the place under lock and key." Kinko looked down for a moment pondering on that thought she came up with. "Problem is that we'll have to actually beat anyone who tries besides him. Or we scrap that idea and simply search the place.?" Kinko would look up abruptly towards to Tetsu with a glare. "Your thoughts on those plans or any other ideas?" She would ask folding her arms again under chest he slingshot held firmly in her left hand waiting for his thoughts on the matter. "Locations is key as well."

[Ace Detective Nara]

Tetsu shrugged his shoulders as he honestly didn’t care why the guy gave himself the stupid stage name. “He could blow air out his ass for all I care,” Tetsu said he kept his hands in his pockets, not really caring about this guy that they were going to capture. That was when suddenly she pulled a sling shot out from her chest. “Well…that’s one way of holding onto your weapons.” He said keeping his hands in his pockets as he knew that he could quickly draw his weapons if he needed them. Walking up beside her, Tetsu would tap her shoulder with his elbow. “Yo, how about we take this conversation to go?” he suggested as he started making his way down the street, heading east bound towards the more centralized part of town. He could smell the winter breeze blowing as he looked up at the sky to see that the grey clouds looked ominous as if it were going to snow. “Hmm…weird.” He said to himself as he waited for the woman to catch up with his slow pace if she even decided to keep up with him.

“So you’re names Kinko eh? Pretty name.” He said nonchalantly as he looked to his right to look at the girl as she spoke to him. “So you’re plan is a contest eh? What makes you think this guy will compete?” Tetsu said in a quasi-scoff as he thought the idea was quite ludicrous honestly. “But if that’s what you want to do, then don’t let me stop you…I can kick some ass you know.” He said sarcastically as he looked at her adorable glare that she seemed to think would scold him or something like that. Shaking his head with a smirk, Tetsu quickly formulated what they would have to do. “Alright I’m sure us calling out for challenges in the center of town wouldn’t be the smartest thing in the world thought.” He said putting his finger up to his lips.

“So the report said his motive was money correct, does he have any other victims?” Tetsu asked as he was genuinely curious about this fellow’s crimes. “ We will need to know a bit more about him before we go in half-Cocked” Tetsu said putting his chin down, and keeping his lax manner as he relaxed letting her think over what he was about to suggest. “How about we ask around town before we just go waving our junk around in hopes of finding one guy…let’s try and be a bit more discreet.” Tetsu suggested as he was sure that the woman would find sense in doing so. He wasn’t a fan of her plan because of how direct it was; however if she wouldn’t listen to his advice, he wouldn’t stop her. “In fact, how about we stop just up town to gather information, Shall we?” He said offering her his harm as he took his right arm out of his pocket, offering it to her in an escorting manner. Tetsu knew that they had to have more than just his monetary motive if they were going to have any hope of taking this guy down.

[kinko]

Kinko followed him with a sigh preparing to hear his opinions. She took in looking to gather information and such before he asked about his motive." Well no, that one guy was his victim and his first charge really. You can tell because of the bounty really, just for the family and skill you can read it off that. Although of course there are anomalies." Tetsu had also asked what made her think the guy was going to compete.

"Well I feel it better to try and draw the target straight to us. As I said he is just barely on the run most likely and scared. I mean he is either smart not to take the bait and hide thinking it might be a possible trap. Or scared like he  will try to earn some easy cash to beat it out of the town and get farther away." Kinko would say watching the streets carefully. "Man has to eat somehow you know and I don't think he is stupid enough to try and steal and further give away his location and or increase his bounty."

Kinko kept thinking it over in her head coming up to a conclusion. "Both plans have the percentage of him simply leaving town already but I guess gathering information first wouldn't hurt. We could simply do both and I mean spread the word of the contest while we're gathering info. I think a 20,000 ryo prize sounds good enough to lure him out." Kinko would say looking to Tetsu with a cold look to hear out his thoughts on this newly formed plan." And yes my name is quite pretty.....thanks." She would say still with her serious face but in a shy cute tone her entire face turning a tad pink.

(OOC: Sorry I've taken so long)

[Ace Detective Nara]

Tetsu sighed as she seemed fairly steadfast to her notions of this tournament bit. Shaking his head, Tetsu decided that there were quite a lot of work behind the scenes that would have to take place for anything to actually be produced. "Anyway, I think I'll stop by the shop and pick some things up if we are going to be setting up a fighting tournament." Tetsu said waving the woman on so that she could prepare for the fighting thing that she was going to be setting up. "Let's split up, and I'll meet you at the center of town in a little bit." He said waving a hand as he turned to walk the opposite direction so that he could go and buy a few things before all this went down. 

(Exiting this thread)

OOC: I'm not abandoning you on your mission, I'm just going to buy a few things and going to turn in a mission I forgot that I still had to turn in XD

I'll be back Lol)

[kinko]

With that Kinko checked her surroundings and sighed to herself thinking that this bounty wasn;t worth it. She thought she might try her luck at others to make money at the moment to help develop her amazing base after all. Not to mention she didn't want to deal with that leaf ninja the thought just made her sick even seeing him. If she had her chance she would gladly have bashed his head in right then and there. But it was too late now she thought as she made her way out of town.
