Rank of mission: C
Danger: Low-Medium
Posting Minimum: 4
Description of mission: A shop owner in Konohagakure has reported his son seemingly going missing every night, exiting the house at about 2am, whilst entering at around 5am. In an attempt to see where exactly the boy is going, he has asked for shinobi to follow him discretely as he makes his way across Konohagakure to who knows where. You will need to make yourself hidden by him, else you’ll blow your cover!
Mission objectives:
• Follow the boy around Konoha to figure out where he’s going.
• In the morning, tell his father.
Reward: 10,000 ryo

Sayuri was waiting, most impatiently outside the shop owner's humble abode. Humble indeed. She thought as she watched the small two story with her white eyes, fluid like liquid mercury. The night in Konoha was cool with a light breeze which was a relief from the summer heat in the day. She didn't care too much for the kid she was supposed to be watching or the mission itself but it was free money for a short night. Easy money. She couldnt wait to find the kid to get things over with. She glanced behind herself to check the location of a small sound that had threatened to startle her and ended up catching her reflection in a window of the buikding behind her.

She was wearing her favorite black necklace with a black teardrop pendant attached to it. The black teardrop had a small circular crystal in the center of it that she particularly fond of. She had grey sleeves on that went from her wrists up to middle of her biceps. A tight violet top covered her midriff and chest, and left the skin on her lower back exposed. A short sleeveless shirt was worn over the violet top that only covers her chest and upper back that was the same light violet as the top underneath.

Covering her legs was a dark purple skirt with gray spandex shorts underneath. The waist band has her village protector attached to it on the back. Her legs had light violet leggings with gray linings, that covered her from the toes to the knees. She wore knee high, closed toe boots, colored grey. A black cane with an ivory handle that had a lion etched into the handle with two shining blue saphires for eyes was in her left hand.

Sayuri then did a quick inventory of her weapons. She had her recurve bow, a large quiver filled to the brim with a various assortment of arrows and a butt bag that had five smoke grenades and 4 packs of cigarettes, although she was unsure why she had these, she never smoked... It's all there. Sayuri was content with her weaponry and even more content that she was prepared for anything.

Bringing her attention back to the small house, she decided to get things moving along. Sayuri concentrated for a moment, sending a surge of her powerful chakra to her eyes. She could feel the warmth of the energy in her eyes, causing the veins to bulge around them as their latent power became active. Looking around now was a breeze and she began her search for the boy... There! She thought in excitement as she finally located him where the father said he should be... in his room.

See Chakra and See Through Chakra Effects

See Chakra: User can see chakra being used, chakra auras and lingering chakra. It allows the user to attempt to identify the effect of lingering chakra (use Chakra Lore Skills).

User can make an Observation skill check to detect GenJutsu techniques or see Chakra Activity. User can focus their sight to examine a creature or object to detect traces of lingering chakra with an Observation check. Traces are the result of an active effect placed on the target from a technique or ability needing Chakra. Success allows the user to make a second check to identify the effect to get a rough idea of the source, but requires a clear line of sight to the target. Check difficulty depends on the Source Strength.

"D" and "C" Rank/Class, Faint strength, Very Difficult Difficulty.
"B" Rank/Class, Moderate strength, Difficult Difficulty.
"A" Rank/Class, Strong strength, Average Difficulty.
"S" Rank/Class, Overwhelming strength, Easy Difficulty.

Sayuri's blood rushed in her veins, brought on by the excitement of spotting her prey. The teenage boy was in his room getting dressed. Guess this makes me a stalker. Clearly he was prepping himself to go somewhere, and Sayuri would be tailing him for the majority of the night. She observed him applying cologne to his neck and chest before slipping a shirt on. He wasn't dressed too stylish, but he was obviously trying to impress someone.

With his father already asleep, the boy stuffed his pillows under the blankets on his bed and turned the lights off in the room. Turning from his bed, he crept to his open window and began climbing out of his bedroom window. Where are you off to little creeper? She watched him climb out of the window without making a sound, and then silently leap to the ground. He glanced over his shoulder towards the house, then checked his surroundings, no doubt waiting to see if his escape had drawn any unwanted attention.

Sticking to the shadows, Sayuri slowly stalked the boy as he moved. She managed to maintain a moderate distance, knowing there was no chance she could possibly lose him. Her liquid mercury colored eyes pierced the night's darkness, trailing the boy as he made his way to the village center. The boy stopped at a ramen shop by the roadside, finding his way inside. Sayuri watched as he sat at a small table with his back to the door. Waiting outside a few minutes, Sayuri trailed the youngster inside and sat at a table outside the range of his view.

The boy ordered when the waitress came over to him, although she couldn't tell exactly what he ordered. A minute later when the waitress came over to Sayuri, she cut off the chakra to her eyes. This brought her eyesight back to normal, which she didn't see as a problem since the boy was seated directly in front of her. She almost waved the waitress away in annoyance but thought the better of it and ordered a tea instead. It wouldn't make any sense for her to standout by sitting in a restaurant not ordering anything.

Two bowls of ramen was dropped off at the boy's table, a few seconds before a female with green hair and matching eyes walked past Sayuri and up to the boy's table. Glancing upward at the newcomer, the boy stood up and smiled, hugging the girl and pulling out a chair for her to sit down. At least he has manners. The boy took his chair and pulled it up next to her, taking a seat in close proximity. They were clearly a couple. So this is what he's been up to... she noted mentally, amused. The romance aspect of the situation almost made her laugh. This puppy love would break eventually, leading to two broken hearts. She was almost mad, knowing she would have to watch this love fest the rest of night.

[Spirit™]

Sayuri quickly grew bored. She sipped her tea, pretending to mind her business. It is was ironic to her, how she was a deadly manifestation of chakra and flesh, yet here she sat as a glorified babysitter. An expensive babysitter. She sat at the table wishing she'd bought something to read, and she was tempted to order some ramen in order to give her something to do. Instead, she managed to order a refill for her tea. She had a figure to maintain after all.

The teenage duo rose from their table. The boy tossed some money on table and then walked out of the ramen shop while whispering in the girl's ear. Sayuri waited 30 seconds to follow them out of the ramen shop, leaving enough ryo behind to cover the tea and a generous tip. Walking back outside into the village center, Sayuri immediately spent chakra reactivating the latent power of her eyes. She closed her eyes and reopened them, immediately seeing through the world around her. She searched for a brief moment before reacquiring the boy's location.

Stalking the couple, Sayuri felt the urge for combat flowing in her veins. She was bored, and following the children had given her an appetite for violence. If she managed to find a sparring partner back at the Hyuuga mansion, she felt bad for the pain she would inflict upon them. Bringing her attention back to the couple, she managed to stay hidden in the scattered shadows. The two had stopped nearby, their lips locked what Sayuri knew was only the beginning of a lengthy makeout session. Kill me now...

There was nothing left to do but keep track of them in her peripherals. What did I do to deserve this torture? Sayuri silently asked herself. A moment of pondering brought some deserving actions to the forefront of her mind, bringing a slight grin to her face. Guess I do deserve this, probably worse. She had to fight the urge to laugh out loud. The moment quickly passed, leaving her with the shitty urge to abandon the mission, but that would mean she had been stalking the kid for nothing and she could use the mission money....

The kids seemed to have wrapped things up at the moment. Holding hands and giggling as they ran off down a dark alley. Sayuri paced herself behind them. She tried her best to think of possible destinations for the duo based on the direction they were heading. Bar... Nope, too young. Generic shopping stores are closed... The river! She remembered the river that ran through the village, and the small bridge overlooking the most scenic area where young couples normally frequented. They were absolutely heading in that direction.

[Spirit™]

The bridge was illuminated brightly by the moonlight filtering through the patchy clouds in the sky. Sayuri got a high vantage point which overlooked the bridge and she waited for a few minutes until the young couple came into view. They were still in high spirits, their giggles and whispers audible to Sayuri in her position. The two made their way slowly to the bridge with their hands intertwined.

Sayuri let out a long sigh. Looking around at her vantage point from the roof of a three story building, she decided she could stand to be a bit more comfortable. Sitting on the ledge of the roof, she kicked her feet up. Hopefully this wont take too long. The two kids went back to excessive kissing and whispers. Occasionally, they would take a break and admire the view, but it seemed this only served to get them kissing again, only more passionately.

Sayuri's thoughts wandered to the cigarettes she possessed, and couldn't help but believe that nights like this would be a good reason for her to start smoking. Finally the kids looked as if they were finished with their date night. The two shared a final kiss before the girl ran off on her own, leaving the boy by himself. He turned and started walking off the bridge, heading back in the general direction of his home. Sayuri rose from her spot on the roof. She felt the urge for a quick stretch from her body and she obliged, feeling the tension in her tightened muscles disappear as she did so.

Again she trailed the boy through the village, lurking in the shadows as she did so. He traveled at a faster pace now that his date was over, undoubtedly wanting to get home before his disappearance was noted by his father. Babysitter? Stalker? Bodyguard? Sayuri found herself suddenly disgusted by the mission she was on. How demeaning... She wished in that moment she could murder this boy, or better yet, his father for thinking Shinobi were tools to be used in this fashion. Besides, if she murdered the boy she wouldn't get paid.

There's my good friend greed. The bloodlust she felt had not gone away, but it was put in its place for the time being. This would be the last time she ever did something beneath her such as this... She came to a sudden stop as she realized the boy was standing in front of his home. Sayuri tucked herself into a shadow, putting herself outside of his immediate sight. The boy glanced around, before climbing back into his bedroom window. Sayuri, glad the mission was over, left to get paid and then to cure herself of the wrath she had pent up inside.
