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

Tetsu sighed as the end of his cigarette burned in the darkness of the evening, or should he say morning at this point. This was not his first all nighter; however he was fairly annoyed at the fact that he had to stay out so late when he could be at home sleeping. Be that as it may, Tetsu let the smoke roll off of his cigarette gently as he found himself looking around for the kid that had been in running about late at night like this; which was annoying to say the least. As he waited, taking a quick glance at the photo of the kid provided by the kid's father. He was fairly short, probably not more than 13 or 14 from what he could tell. Tetsu wasn't an investigative genius, but he could tell that this kid was obviously of a smaller build. Tetsu was dressed in a casual dress down for this mission, as he was suppose to appear casual to avoid attention. Sighing again as the light he had been leaning under began to flicker, Tetsu just shook his head as he looked down at his green zip-up hoodie that was open currently exposing his grey T-shirt underneath. He readjusted his square frame glasses as he pushed himself up, finally getting the motivation to get his ass in gear, deciding to actively search for this kid. 

"Now where has that kid gotten off to?" Tetsu muttered quietly as he looked about the empty street for any sign of the kid in his neighborhood, since Tetsu figured that would be a pretty decent place to start. Tetsu didn't care any of his shinobi gear on his person, seeing as it would be pretty strange for him to do so while he was trying to be sneaky and casual. If Tetsu had learned anything in his time as a shinobi, it was that being armed made you kind of noticeable. That wasn't always the case, seeing as ninja were always armed; however in this setting he figured it wasn't very fitting to be openly armed except for some of his smaller gear that he could tuck away in his butt bag; which held a some kunai knives, bo shuriken, explosive tags, sealing tags, caltrops, a walkie-talkie, his cigarettes [current pack count 11/20], and his lighter [Uses 185/200]. With that, Tetsu made his way down the street, still looking for this kid who was out way past his bed time. It was strange that this kid just up and slid out in the middle of the night...not that Tetsu wouldn't do it, but there had to be some sort of motive. With that being said, Tetsu made his way quietly down the street in silence as he scanned for any trace of the kid while figuring that he was going to hate the rest of his night. 

As he reached a four way crossing intersection in the cart path streets of the village, Tetsu figured that he wasn't getting to far just by walking about. "so how has no one other than the father reported this?" Tetsu asked himself as he rubbed his chin in thought as he figured the kid was doing something or another to avoid being detected, or even more effectively avoiding detection. Konohagakure no Sato did have an underground sewer system; however Tetsu had been down there, and if he were a kid, he would have avoided that shit at all cost...no pun intended. All the same, it was a possibility that he would have to go back down into the sewers to find the kid. There was also the possibility of the kid being like a thief, running across rooftops and shit. As annoying as that would be to chase, Tetsu figured he would take being above ground than below ground since if he fell his augmented body would give literally no shits. All the same, climbing would be annoying. "ugh why does it always have to be like this..." He said to himself, cut off by the sudden shadow running across the roof tops. "There we go, at least it's something..." He said quickly crossing the street to make his way to the other side of the buildings so that he could follow the shadow without having to climb up the buildings himself; which would one) give him away and Two) would require him to care enough to actually climb the building. That wasn't really Tetsu's style in the end. 

As he tailed the shadow, he could hear the faint metallic ringing of some sort of...well metallic object more likely than not. Tetsu quickly turned the corner to find that the fellow was no longer running along the roof tops, and yet appeared to have disappeared into thin air. "wow, that's...not surprising." Tetsu said as he realized that the fellow must have gotten down in the ally and made his way into the darkness to avoid his tailing shinobi. Damn...must have been a little too obvious, Tetsu thought to himself as he slowly made his way down the alley so that he could investigate. It was strange seeing a dead end brick wall down the way when he realized that he wasn't going to be going any further. "Wow...well...I suppose that happened." Tetsu said as the light from the end of his cigarette lit up the night a little bit as he looked about for any clues. "Where could that...person...kid...whoever...gotten off to?" Tetsu asked as he was stumped by the fact that the person had suddenly disappeared right before his eyes. It was fairly strange, so Tetsu did his best to investigate, to begin hopefully uncovering the truth as to where the kid had gone. That was, until he uncovered a manhole cover.

[Ace Detective Nara]

The metallic clank of the manhole that Tetsu almost tripped over was enough to startle him quite a bit. "waaah!" He exclaimed in shock as he looked about for what made the noise at first. Sighing with content as he looked down and noticed the manhole cover that he had kicked up, he figured he had only hit it with his foot; which was a logical out come after all. Tetsu was content with this fact up until he realized that Manhole covers were not left out of the hole like it had been; which was to say that someone or something had to have displaced it. "so that's where you went..." Tetsu said as he looked around where the metal cap had been, finding the hole not too far away. Tetsu figured that the kid had evaded him by going down into the sewers...like he had figured earlier, but had hoped that it wasn't going to be the case. Obviously he would have to delve down into the sewers once again...which was a total pain. "What a pain, Why couldn't it have been something easier...like picking weeds or something?" Tetsu asked himself as he probably would have said the same thing about picking weeds anyway. Taking a moment to collect himself, Tetsu prepared to descend into the sewers of Konohagakure once again, in search of a kid this time, and not being accompanied by a dumb ass who simply wanted to kill rats with a fireball. 

Making his for move, he began to mount the ladder that descended down the manhole. The cool steel was rusted, and rugged to the touch; however Tetsu really didn't care. He wasn't afraid of getting a little dirty after all. As he touched the cool concrete bottom 40 meters down the hole, Tetsu realized that this was actually fairly close to one of the cisterns that collected near each district center of the village. "ugh...I hate this sewer...specifically this one." He said to himself as he drew his lighter out of his butt bag, quickly flicking the flame [184/200] so that it ignited the wick. His still burning cigarette was still creating it's own light as well; however Tetsu figured it would be much easier to see with an open flame. Quickly taking a moment to observe his surroundings, the darkness around his person was quite engulfing; however he did his best to follow the stone pathway that was provided for workers that worked down in the sewers. Keeping his pace steady as he made his way forward, Tetsu kept his arm up, leading the way with his lighter as he could still hear the echoing of footsteps down one of the chambers that the the cavernous sewer provided. 

Tetsu followed the echoing footsteps for a while, figuring that they probably belonged to his little runaway kid who had been using the sewers to avoid detection...because who in their right minds would want to come down into this stink hole, especially a kid. Tetsu chuckled at the kid's audacity, but his annoyance was still fairly peaked as he realized that he hated chasing after kids. Tetsu made his way forward with no fear as he figured it was going to be a straight shot to the cistern. Tetsu figured correctly, as he came across a huge cavernous cistern up ahead; however he could see lights flickering in the shadow figures that seemed to be occupying the space. Tetsu could even hear voices, and what sounded like cheering. Strange that one would be cheering in the darkness of the sewers. As Tetsu turned the corner to enter the cistern, he realized that what was inside was quite different from what he had initial expected. Inside of the large chamber was less sewage and more dry land as the walls dipped off into a pit, letting each flow of sewage act as a water fall down into a cistern below; which was mostly dry seeing as the water was drained down even further by grates. 

What was down in the pit looked a lot like a fight club. Tetsu had heard about some of these through out the world, but had never expected to see one in the village itself. Tetsu wasn't shocked, but he sighed with disdain as he realized that the kid he had been looking for was currently standing in the ring up against a much larger fighter...who appeared to have a thing for being shirtless. The fellow was shirtless and in boxing shorts; which led Tetsu to believe that this guy was probably a boxer just like he was...except probably better. The kid began to bounce about, kinda like a dancer would as he began to do cart wheels and other stuff of that nature; which kind of freaked Tetsu out a little bit. Cap? Tetsu figured that he was secretly coming to these clubs to practice his martial arts...which was nothing off Tetsu's back however two things were wrong with this picture. One he still needed to tell his father where this kid was going, and he couldn't let something illegal like this sit. How many times has this illegal fighting ring caused moral injury, been the place of illegal betting, or even been part of the drug trade that he had been working to uproot. Tetsu didn't know...but he was going to go find out while keeping tabs on this kid. 

[Ace Detective Nara]

“Oh look it’s the hood!” one of the people behind Tetsu shouted as they saw the hooded fellow walking into the crowded street fighting complex within the sewers. Tetsu was fairly confused at first as he didn’t know anyone by the name of The Hood, and furthermore, he didn’t see anyone wearing a hood…other than himself. Oh shit, they mean me! Tetsu thought to himself as he was quickly lifted up into the ring with the kid who had just owned his boxing opponent. “Um…I don’t think you have the right guy.” He tried to defend himself as he ended up in a cage like arena with the kid he was supposed to be tracking. “So Hood, You finally decided to show yourself have you?!” The kid said in a smack talking fashion as he began to bounce back and forth on his heels. It was obvious that he too believe that he was going to have to fight this opponent, the Hood. Tetsu knew that if he revealed himself now, he would be in a world of hurt, so he decided to just go with it. “Yeah…” Was all he said before the bell rang and the kid came at him?



The kid came on at him aggressively; which lead Tetsu to believe that this Hood character was probably something like a rival or a combat goal for this kid. Tetsu was being pushed back pretty quickly, even though he was using the basic knowledge of what he had learned in the land of sound with that strange fellow who seemed to know a decent bit about boxing; however he never left him his name. Tetsu was a bit disappointed as he thought about that encounter, but all the same he ducked under one of the midair kicks that would have taken his head off if he had not avoided the strike. “Damn…not bad kid.” Tetsu said as he began to retort with his own attacks, throwing a few jabs here and there, all from an upright stance as he kept his posture upward facing so that he could more easily avoid getting hit than if he was in a semi-crouched stance. If only he had taken more time to learn how to fight hand to hand, then maybe he wouldn’t feel so pressured right this moment. All the same, Tetsu quickly used his hand to parry a kick, sending it back away from his body so that he could survive another moment. Tetsu knew that he was much more delicate than this kid, one good blow could floor him if he got hit.



So, Tetsu decided to begin doing something that was a bit unorthodox as he quickly reached into his butt bag and produced one of his knives. No one seemed phased as this was a street fight, so consequently they understood that weapons were a likely addition to the fight. “Whoop now it gets interesting.” Someone in the crowd shouted as the kid seemed more excited than usual. “So you’re finally ready to get serious, alright the kid chuckled mockingly as he quickly went in for a sweeping kick. Tetsu jumped up above the kid’s head as he prepared to launch the blunt end of his knife, as to not hurt the kid, but enough to get his attention and maybe knock him down so he could get out of this fight. With that in mind, Tetsu quickly jumped up into the air at what would normally be considered a disadvantaged position; however he was in control as he quickly launched the knife down at the kid hilt first, before quickly drawing two more pairs of shuriken, and proceeded to launch the blunt ends of the weapons at the target while still in mid-air.



As the kid seemed a bit shocked as the knife blade smacked him square in the face and the other weapons thrown supplemented the strike. Tetsu sighed as he landed and proceeded to pick up his now scattered weapons. “Sloppy kid, it still needs work…” was all Tetsu could say as he exited the cage with a sense of swagger, attempting to pull off the whole Hood persona that he figured a character with that name would play off, cool and silent. With this fight out of the way, all Tetsu was left to now be to find a way out of these sewers and back to the surface. That, though exactly what Tetsu wanted right that moment was not quite as easily done as said. As he exited the cheering crowds that had decided to come watch him fight, Tetsu couldn’t help but feel dirty as he had been involved in a crime fighting ring. All the same, he made his way over to one of the pillars around the cistern as he contemplated climbing up and getting the fuck out of there.


Techs Used

SPOILER: Click to show

Quick Draw
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: User has learned how to draw their weapon without taking up a movement.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user can draw a weapon without a movement. The user can draw a hidden weapon (With Sleight of Hand) without taking a movement. A user who has this technique may draw a throwing weapon and hurl the weapon within 1 movement. Without this technique, the user may draw a weapon as a movement.
Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist.

Upright Stance
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Basic upright stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To adopt an Upright Stance, you should stand with your legs roughly shoulder-width apart. Your back foot should be about half a step behind your front foot. If your dominant boxing hand is your right hand, your left foot will lead. Lift your right heel off the ground by about 3 inches and point both feet inward (although do not exaggerate this movement). If you lift your heel too far off the ground, or turn your feet too far inward, you will become unbalanced. As a test, imagine someone pushing you from any direction. In a properly balanced stance, you should be able to maintain an upright position and not fall to the ground or sway from side to side. To increase the stability of your stance, keep your knees and hips slightly bent but make sure your back is straight. Your lead fist (which will be your left fist if your dominant boxing hand is your right hand) should be positioned vertically at eye level, approximately six inches away from your face. Your right fist should be positioned next to your chin, with your elbow held against your ribcage. This is good defensive positioning and will effectively protect your body. Whilst watching televised boxing matches, you may have noticed the boxers tapping their cheeks with their hands. This repetitive action acts as a reminder to keep fists up at all times and is especially important as the match progresses and energy levels drop. To further protect yourself from blows from your opponent, keep your chin pressed against your chest. Punches to the jaw often cause knock-outs, so it is essential to keep this stance throughout the boxing match.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing)

Semi-Crouch
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-crouched stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture You may choose to fight from a crouch (or semi-crouch) position during a boxing match. If you choose this option, lean forward rather than maintaining an upright position, whilst making sure your feet are kept close together. The most important thing to remember when adopting a balanced boxing stance is to relax. If you start to become tense, your balance will be negatively affected and you will be more likely to receive a harmful blow from your opponent. Your neck and back should never feel under any pressure. If your neck and back do feel tense, you may be leaning your shoulders too far forward and not rotating your hips in line with them. If you want to increase the range of your punches, try positioning your front foot ahead of your head. To see the difference that this new stance can make, stand in front of a punch bag whilst keeping your back foot steady and in the normal position. Punch forward slowly and keep your punch at its full extension. After this, move your lead foot in front of your head and repeat the punching movement. Stop the punch at its full extension and you should be able to notice the increased range now available to you. When practicing this variation, keep the other elements of the orthodox stance, such as the position of the elbows and chin, the same.

Hitman Style
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A stance that is used in combat where the right arm stays down near the body instead of it being high for guards.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Place feet comfortably apart. Put your weight on the balls of your feet. You should feel "on balance" and able to move easily. Put about the same amount of weight on each foot. Bend your knees slightly. Not too much or you’ll find yourself in a crouch, which can be awkward and tiring. Position yourself slightly sideways to your imaginary opponent. With front foot, hip, and shoulders in line ( This maximizes your reach and minimizes the target area.) The Right hand should be Fist close to your chin, elbow stays close to your ribs, perpendicular to the floor. Neck and shoulders should be relaxed not "tight". The Left however should be near the body of the stomach. It should be relaxed, while the elbow is in. The whole arm should be relaxed and held by just the weight.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know the Upright Stance, or Semi-Crouch

The Jab
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A quick, straight punch thrown with the lead hand from the guard position.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Stand with your feet hip distance apart. Step your right foot back 18-24 inches with the weight of your right leg on the ball of your foot (right heel is somewhat elevated and the knees are slightly bent). Bring your right fist close to your right cheek bone and your left fist slightly in front of it about jaw height. Pull your elbows in towards your ribs so that they line up somewhat below your fists. Push off of the ball of the right foot, bend the left knee slightly and start to extend the left hand in a pushing type motion (there should be a subtle rotation as your left hand goes forward your right shoulder moves back). You may also rotate the fist so that when it reaches the desired destination your left palm will be facing down. Retract the left hand as fast as you extended it and return to the original position. Remember before punching relax the hand, snap it forward and clinch before making contact. Do your best to strike with the first two knuckles and keep your wrist in neutral position upon impact. Aim six to eight inches beyond your target. Extend the arm only about 90-95 percent. Keep your chin tucked down toward your chest--this protects your jaw from exposure to being hit. Bring your hand back as fast as you throw it. Move your head on an angle as you throw the punch.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

The Cross/The Straight
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A powerful, straight punch thrown with the rear hand.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Determine which hand is your strong hand. Although you can throw a straight hand punch with either your left or right hand, it will be most effective if you use your strongest hand. Most right-handed fighters have a stronger right hand, while left-handed fighters have stronger left hands. Get into a basic boxing stance. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart with your knees slightly bent. If you are right-handed, your left shoulder should be pointed toward the other fighter and your right shoulder should be back. The opposite is true if you are left-handed. Keep both hands up. They should hover just under the chin, with your forearms in front of your body. This will protect you from the opponent's punches. Begin the straight hand punch from the foot. Push off your back foot and pivot toward your opponent, twisting your foot, leg, torso and shoulders. Concentrate on bringing power up from your leg, hips, trunk and shoulders and channeling it into your fist as you twist your body. If you don't pivot your body, your punch will be much weaker than if you use the correct form. Aim for the other fighter's face. Punch out in a straight line and extend the arm out all the way. At the point of impact, your feet and body should be facing the other fighter. Snap your hand back to your chin as you twist your body back to the beginning position. Remember to keep your left hand up throughout the punch so you have a guard up to protect you from a counterpunch.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

The Hook
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-circular punch thrown with the lead hand or rear hand to the side of the opponent's head.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Shift your weight subtly forward by slightly bending your front leg while elevating your lead elbow to about shoulder height. Push off your front leg to shift your weight more towards the back leg while rotating your torso in the same direction with your lead hand heading towards a specific target. For the purpose of this intro we'll aim face high. That rotation and shifting motion should be accompanied by a whipping or thrusting of the hips. If you have your left leg forward and are throwing a lead hand hook (left hand hook) your hips should thrust from left to right while executing this punch. The punch should reach its mark with tremendous force. This will happen by throwing it fast and aiming to land your fist 6 to 8 inches beyond your target. Your fist can either be positioned to have your palm facing you or the ground. Return to your original stance. Do your best to hit your target with your first two knuckles.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

The Uppercut
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A vertical, rising punch thrown with the lead hand or rear hand.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To throw a right uppercut, start in the classic boxing stance with the back (right) knee bent. Lower the right shoulder to drop the right side of the body in a semi-crouch position. Remember to keep the left fist up by the chin to protect the head. Now as you rotate the hips forward, push the ball of the back foot, (the right foot), and punch the right fist up towards the target. The right side of the back and the right shoulder will follow through with the rotation of the hips. The hips finish being squared to the front. The right arm always stays close to the body and moves upward in a semi-circle. To throw the left uppercut from the classic boxing stance, start with squared off hips, left knee bent and the left shoulder lowered. The body weight is then transferred to the ball of the left foot as the punch is delivered with a bent arm at a right angle and the hips will rotate into the classic boxing stance. Do your best to hit your target with your first two knuckles. Remember to bend the both of the knees and lean the body forward. Bring the first close to the side and remember to have the knuckles facing down. Extend the bent knees at full force Use the momentum and the body to thrust the fist upward.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

Footwork
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A simple technique in which is needed to know in order to keep the boxer moving keeping them light on their toes against opponents.
Special: ---
Drawback: Get caught flat-footed and you will be vulnerable to counterpunches.
Description: Keep your weight balanced on both feet. Stay on the balls of your feet so you can attack, spin or retreat quickly to safety. Practice moving side to side or in a circular motion around your opponent. Shift and shuffle your feet quickly, but keep them close to the ground so you have a solid base under you. Switch stances often when training. This means you'll change which foot is in front. Work your calf muscles by jumping rope, biking and doing bag drills while moving constantly. Good footwork requires training with an integrated approach to movement, strategy, punches thrown and balance. It all has to work together, so you should always be thinking about your footwork.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

Pulling Away
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique used in which the user measures an attack's length, and pulls away by bending their back backwards allowing to be used for counter attacks, or just simply an evasion.
Special: ---
Drawback: If a user is unable to predict the length of an attack, the user could very well get hit by an attack.
Description: Picture The opponent makes an attacked such as a straight, or a hook. The attack must be a mid straight or under over attack such as an uppercut. An over under attack such as the overhand punch will work against the pulling away. For those types of attacks it is best to slip inside or outside an attack. When an opponent attacks the user bends backwards away from the attack or steps back away from an attack. This defense is great against overreaching attacks. When the opponent makes his mark the user must determine the length of the attack. Once determined they are able to dodge the attack by doing what was stated earlier.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

Parrying With the Gloves
Rank: ["D"], "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: To parry a user must know how to parry. They must know and see the attack coming towards the user. The user must also know when the attack is going to come.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depending on the rank the user knows in this technique depends on how well they may Parry without harming themselves.
Description: NOTE: Only works when the user is parries with their gloves or hands. When the user learns this technique, depending on what technique an opponent hits against them the user is able to parry without taking a hit. This means in order to parry attacks that are "C" rank, the user must know Parrying With the Gloves "C" rank. The problem with this technique is that the user will not know if they can parry an attack or not. It the user parries an attack that the user is incapable of doing so the attack goes through and smashes into the user. If the user is able to, then the user may simply move the attack to another direction making a counter come easier against the opponent.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch.

[Ace Detective Nara]

“Think you can ruin my good name kid!” He heard someone behind him shout as he pulled down his hoodie to look over at the odd looking fellow who was also wearing a hood. Wait a minute…that’s probably not too good, Tetsu thought to himself as he quickly prepared to fight the guy who was about 30 meters behind him at the end of the tunnel. The lights that lined the sewers flickered as he turned around a faced his opponent. “What is it that you want your little rascal?” Tetsu said to piss of the fellow who had decided to come chase him after he had won a fight in his stead. Quickly clasping his hands together into the rat handseal, Tetsu began to extend his shadow forward in a sense that was befitting a Nara, splitting his shadow 8 times to appear like 8 long shadowy fingers that were now engulfing the tunnel as the spun around towards the fellow in a spiral. Making a 9th split that would simply cruise forward while the more visually intriguing portion of his Kagemane no Jutsu took place, it simply moved forward towards the fellow. Tetsu thought he had him when he had the upper hand when using his Kagemane; however this guy was obviously much more intelligent than he looked as he simply took out a knife and threw it at Tetsu, who could do little to dodge it in his current state.

As the Knife flew towards his head, Tetsu ducked his knees a little bit and tucked his head low so that the flat of the blade would fly just over his head as he used his head to deflect the projectile while keeping his Rat handseal clamped. “What the hell man!?” Tetsu wondered as these street fighters obviously took their art very seriously. Tetsu was obviously witnessing that first hand as the fellow attempted to get into fighting range, but was caught in his shadow in the end eventually realizing that his shadow was of course the target as it was hard to avoid such a narrow set up of shadows with one’s shadow that cast to the side in such a manner. It was such a wide target to begin with that it was inevitable that he would eventually get a hold of the fellow in this hallway like chamber. Letting the rest of his shadowy splits retreat, Tetsu stood still as he completed the connection between the pair of shadows. “what is it you want, I’m just trying to get the fuck out of here and you come waltzing down here like some crazy ass bitch trying to stop me from leaving you all alone…What a pain in the ass.” Tetsu said as he quickly weaved a set of handseals so that his shadow could begin to climb up the amateur fighter’s body.

“I hate annoyances like you that simply get worked up over a title, it’s petty and a drag on your personality honestly.” Tetsu said as his black shadow engulfed most of the fighter’s body. It was scary to say the least on his behalf, being immobilized while having what looked like black hands crawling all around and up his body. “I’m going to say this one time….leave me the fuck alone.” He said as the black shadow climbed up the fellow’s neck, slowly suffocating him as he figured that he could kill him if he wanted to; however he wouldn’t do it this time…just because of principle. If he killed this asshole, which he kind of wanted to do, it would only make the report harder to file…and in the end Tetsu’s laziness let him release the fellow from his grip as he ran off screaming with a pair of soiled boxing shorts and hoodie. “Good riddance,” Tetsu said as he turned back around and made his way to the nearest manhole he could find, which would help him get out of these damn sewers.

As he climbed back up to the surface, Tetsu stretched with fatigue. “Damn I hate going down there…to the very least we can file this report to the fellow now.” He said to himself in a relaxed fashion as he quickly made his way to the fellow’s home. Tetsu wrote out everything that had happened that night, explaining what had gone down to the T, making sure to leave nothing out, not even the part where he made a guy piss himself. Tetsu thought it was pretty funny to be honest, and he enjoyed having this time to relax while he finished writing up the report so that the father could read it in the morning. Quickly folding it into an envelope and placing it into the mail box of the fellow’s home, he quickly turned on heel and made his way back to his own home. Tetsu was god awful tired, and it was definitely time for a long 12 hour nap to compensate for losing so much sleep while being out like a crazy bastard at like 5:00 in the morning. “What a pain…” Tetsu said with a sigh as he made his way back to his comfy bed.
