By the time Hamura had come home, the first thing that happened to surprise him was that he had not been burgled, and that his house was cleaner than ever. And since he was so hot on keeping things nice and tidy, that was saying something. Judging by the boys Natsuo, Mitsue and Tomohiro, they were the ones responsible for doing most of the cleaning. That said, they had likely been coaxed into doing so by their older sister, Yoko. While he was still not sure if they could all manage living in the same house, quite a few changes would have to be made, and changes cost money. That was why he spent the rest of the afternoon preparing a lot of food, figuring the four had likely been thriving on junk food while he was away.

Shortly after dinner, Hamura went to bed, still tuckered out by the mission he had done the other day, the fact that he had only slept for four hours and the long ride back home to the Hidden Cloud on a horse-carried cart. Sleeping like an ox for the rest of the night, he got up early that morning in order to collect his next mission. This time, he would go looking for something a bit closer to home, seeing as he had just gone through a rather sizeable mission for just one person. Still, it was his own decision to go on his own and without backup, so he had only himself to blame. On the other hand, he hoped that doing so would make the village aware of what he could do on his own.

Picking a rather peculiar mission from the stack regarding a bit of a problem regarding the local hot springs, as a peeping tom was seemingly causing trouble. As it turned out, the mission description stated that this person, likely a man, always did so around the same period of time, between three and seven pm. This gave him roughly three hours in which he would have to wait and see whether the man would show up or not. Figuring that this mission would be a whole lot easier and not to mention close to home than the last one, he made sure the village was aware of him being on the case, as well as making it known who they could deposit the money to once he was done.

Being insecure was not one of Hamura's flaws, nor was being overconfident. He just knew the current limits of his own skill quite well, and knew that taking care of a peeping tom was well within his range of skills. After all, he had managed to take care of six renegades in a location foreign to him with only minimal effort, making this kind of deal a walk in the park. And so it was that he made a plan, one that would perhaps sound somewhat wrong to some, but felt like the only way to really be sure that he would be able to take down his target without too many people being aware of it. And so it was that he went to meet with the owner of the hot springs that seemed to be prepared to do anything now that the place was hemorrhaging money.

Telling the owner that he would be dressing himself up as a bathing woman by using the transformation technique, the owner looked at him funny and wondered if maybe he had said too much when he said he'd agree to "anything". Still, it seemed that the man had no better idea, and the plan made by a Shinobi of the Hidden Cloud was bound to be better than that of a mere spa owner, at least in Hamura's opinion. But without further ado, he waited for the time to come around, transforming into the visage of the oldest of four brothers and sister he had taken into his house and off of the streets. Figuring it was going to work for something, he had his body covered up in a large white tower as he entered the hot springs.

Not really being of that age that was that interested or awestruck by lady parts, he just sat himself down by the hot spring, dipping only his toes in as he kept his senses up. Finding it quite hard to maintain focus as the women around him were chattering like chicken in a hen house, he somehow found a way to manage without losing his composure. As the first hour went by, nothing seemed to have happened yet. But as time went on, he heard something or someone out by the wall surrounding the hot spring, and decided to keep a close ear on it. Until something happened that would allow him to catch the peeping tom in the act, there was really nothing he could do. As such, he just enjoyed the warm water until something happened.

At this point, the sound of a lady screaming was like music to his ears, as it implied that the wait was finally over and he got to see some action. Standing up straight, it seemed that a small hole had been made in the wooden wall and that someone had been glaring through it in order to see some nudity. Wasting no time, Hamura's feminine form rushed across the water's surface in order to get to the outer wall faster. From that point on, he leaped up to an inhuman height as he made it over the wall and had the perpetrator enter his line of sight. Once he landed on the ground on the other side of the wall, he released the transformation jutsu and went in pursuit.

It was a good thing that he had waited, as it would have likely been that much more shocking if a boy had been among the woman all this time. Deciding not to dwell on the thought for two long, the young Shinobi caught up with the peeper and kicking him in the back of the heel, causing him to trip and fall over. The fact that the man was fully dressed meant something, or at least that was what he thought. However, the fact that he had a camera with him was rather sickening, so that was the first thing he took away. Wasting no time on asking why the man had done what he did, Hamura really could not bring himself to care about the reasons of such a deviant.

Tying up his hands, he made his way towards the police station after passing by the owner of the hot springs, making sure he got to see the face of the person that had been causing him trouble. Figuring that this would help the owner at keeping the man at bay in the future, having some kind of enforcers around was likely not a bad idea. But that was a thought for another time, as Hamura took the man to the police department where he had earlier taken six bandits that had been holding livestock captive and awaited ransom. Truly, it seemed that the amount of bad seeds within the lightning country were growing. Luckily for them, Hamura would be there to weed them out as soon as they stuck their ugly heads above ground.
