Name: PERVEERT!
Rank: “D” Rank.
IIC Length: 24 hours.
Difficulty: Moderate.
People required: 1-2 Genins or 1 Chuunin/Jounin.
Objective: Catch the peeping tom in the hot springs.
Description: A large hot spring in the city center of Kumogakure no Sato has received complaints from the female visitors. Apparently, there is a peeping tom who is lurking around in the female’s hot springs. The staff has noticed that the peeping tom appears at the springs between 3 PM and 7 PM. You need to catch this pest before the hot spring starts to lose money.
Reward: 12,500 ryo (11,500 ryo for a non-nin).

Following the streets of Kumogakure down towards the center of the village led Ranmaru to his mission objective. From what the scroll described, there had been a creeping pervert that was disturbing the women denizens during their hours of respite in the hot springs. Ranmaru grit his teeth as he pushed onward, disgusted by such a criminal who would prey on unsuspecting women with his lewd perversions. The Cloud ninja had his katana Shuurai strapped to his back, and within his black tactical vest, two hundred and two scores of star-shuriken lay. Since this had been a D-Ranked mission, he assumed that the pervert was of no real threat to the village. The white haired Ranmaru turned a final corner and could hear women giggling in the background....

The operative would remain hidden; he pressed his body against a wall, where shadows hugged his form, thus making him nigh invisible to the unsuspecting looker. Perhaps this was the methodology of the pervert stalking these women... but he shook the thought from his head, considering he was a shinobi and the pervert was just some village creep. For some time, Ranmaru remained hidden by the dark elements, and time began to feverishly move. With each new woman announcing her presence to her peers, the clamor from above Ranmaru’s head reached an incredibly loud pitch. He could hear gossip about certain men or clothing topics; yet he didn’t care enough to wish to glean any information, as none seemed important to him.

However, after a while, the clamor simmered down to some hushed spiel; he had to strain his ears to catch on to the tid-bits of information the women shared with each other. But after hearing several women gasp at the forewarning of another, he could theorize what the subject of the hushed conversation had been. The time had now been roughly 1700 hours, yet no sign of unusual activity. Ranmaru had sheathily moved from his prior location to one that gave him a higher vantage over the surrounding hotspring. He made sure to scan only the area around the main pools, and kept his keen blue eyes peeled for a man who could be lurking some place unaware and getting off to watching these women. As he hid behind a large water reservoir, Ranmaru heard a rustling, followed by a loud bang from behind his location. The voice spat a curse, and immediately Ranmaru displaced himself to hide underneath a bench, still draped in the shadows that complimented his all black attire.

He waited...

Observation
Rank: "E"
Skill: Sophisticated Skill
Effect: User's senses allow the user to notice find details and alert the user to danger.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Relevant Abilities: Perception Skill. Die Rolls: 1 Die Roll. Check Requirement: Game Master/Described. This skill focuses certain powers of observation - sight, smell, hearing, and touch. A failed check indicates that the character is oblivious until the thing is pointed out to him. This skill is important for ferreting out advancing enemies or ambushes, generally real-time events and actions occurring, versus scrutiny, which covers static objects or areas. A Game Master may roll an Observation skill check for the Character any time there is an NPC, creature, event or happening that a character might notice, even if they did not specifically state that they are monitoring their surroundings. Characters are capable of noticing any event within their perception; this skill will typically be used as a competing check against another's attempt to avoid detection (stealth, etc). Observation reveals only facts, not motivation. Some practical applications of Observation follow:
Limit: Must learn from Skills.

As Ranmaru waited from underneath the low bench, he observed the sounds around him and found that if he focused, he could hear stumbling coming from his left, from behind him. Given his good natural camouflage underneath a shadowy area, he did not worry about being spotted by the unknown entity. The Cloud genin could hear a few hiccups and burps, and before long the sound that he had heard coming from behind him was now to his immediate left. He shot his eyes in the direction to notice a pair of weak and wobbly legs; accompanying that, was a wooden cane used to push the elder’s body along. So maybe that is what caused the commotion Ranmaru had heard earlier from behind the wall opposing the hot springs. The faint smell of sake sank to the ground where Ranmaru hid and using deduction, he surmised that the old man had been drunk, given his sloshed state. There were no indicators of spiritual prowess, that is, until Ranmaru heard the dry hands of the man come together during a brief moment of laughter caused by his drunken stupor.

In a burst of smoke, the man had transformed. The blue eyes of the genin looked up from his prone position and noticed a drastic change in the old man’s aesthetic. It would seem that he possessed some knowledge of ninjutsu anyhow, for the Henge he had performed on himself made him appear as a svelte framed woman with brunette hair. The smile on the face of this transformed man was soft, perhaps because he was happy that he was about to get an up close and personal look at what he had been perving over. With a feminine giggle, the man slipped off his kimono and let the wafting hot spring vapors envelope his body. Ranmaru only watched quietly to study the motive and ways of this man. For him to be drunk, he wasn’t necessarily a total fool. Once the Henge’d man entered into the main hot spring area, Ranmaru returned to a crouched position after emerging from underneath his stakeout spot.

The shared giggles of women were joined by the peculiar chuckling of the man. Ranmaru could still recognize him from his drunken giddiness and the occasional hiccup. But with the fences encompassing the hotsprings, he was left to rely on other senses to detect the perpetrator.

[0000] // [0005]

The sound of water being splashed was now evident in the once silent hot spring; some women giggled, and others seemed displeased by the latest actions of none other than the disguised pervert. Ranmaru figured that the man was trying to rile up the women and get their bodies wet. Many women felt uncomfortable by the lustful advances of this newcomer and several began to gather their things to leave. But the drunken Henge-woman began to plead: “Oh~~ don’t go, we were just starting to have *hic* fuuuun.” Defeated, he sank to his knees and the women who seemed to enjoy the unusual company of the man flocked to his side. They embraced his face with supple and full bosom; his face flushed red and drool pooled at his lips. The remaining hot springers continued to have a merry time and Ranmaru decided that enough was enough. Just as he began to open the gate leading to the hot spring, he heard a loud shriek, followed by a harsh slap. The Cloud genin instinctively burst through the doors and maintained eye contact with every woman present. His sharp eyes turned to notice one woman with her arms crossed over her chest, and another masking their face with their hands, and their body hid underneath the vaporous hot waters.

All the women present snapped their heads from that incident now towards the door that Ranmaru burst through. The shrieking intensified.

“Get out, get out. Geeeeet OUT!!” they yelled in unison. Many women chose to throw things to scare Ranmaru away, but he nimbly dodged the items and kept his focus on the person wading in the deeper water. He reached for his tactical vest pouch and withdrew a star shuriken before quickly casting it at the person who had now left the waters of the spring and tried to slip out under a towel. The towel stuck to the fence from the thrown projectile and the fraile frame of the old man was on display for all present to see. This sent the women in an uproar. Like leaping leopards, they were upon him with kicking, slapping, scratching, yelling. He had groped one of the women in the bath and once she slapped him, he had lost the hold over his weak verison of the transformation technique. Ranmaru crouched perched on the fence post and observed this all. It should be noted that some of these women possessed incredible strength, nearly on par with taijutsu practitioners.

Severely beaten by the now hostile group of women, the old man accepted his fate. He had been caught.... Now the women turned their attention to the genin of Kumogakure.

“Hey... hey! I was sent on a mission here to find and apprehend this guy.” he explained, waving them off. With so much emotion and energy swirling around the vapors of the hot spring, it took a while for the women to calm down. Ranmaru tied the arms of the naked old man behind his back and promised the women that they wouldn’t be bothered by him again. Apparently, this had been the old geezer’s first time actually going inside of the hotspring. Maybe from a dose of liquid courage, he roused up the gumption to join the women in a hope to frolic with and grope on them.

Ranmaru abruptly left the hot spring area with his captive in tow. Thankfully, the perpetrator hadn’t been a skilled shinobi, and the women of the hot spring took care of him before Ranmaru’s blade Shuurai did. He dashed hastily towards the tower, finding this D-Rank mission a little too easy for his liking. Along the way, he observed the different aromatic fragrances around the village. One in particular belonging to a spicy-smelling curry caught his attention. He may return to that particular restaurant after turning in this perverted criminal.

Name: Village patrol (night time).
Rank: “D” Rank.
IIC Length: 1 day.
Difficulty: Easy.
Description: Patrolling around the village during the night! The night patrol includes moving between any empty shops, alleyways, night stores: to watch for thievery as well as moving about various sections of town to ensure that people are not entering in areas where they should not be. Suspicious activity during the night must be handled swiftly and accordingly to what has occurred.
Objective:May be repeated three times.
Ensure safety of village during the night. Patrol as much of the village as possible. Return with status report.
Personnel requirements: 1-2 shinobis of any rank. May be performed in groups if one choose so.
Reward: 10,000 ryo (8,500 for a non-nin).

With one mission under his belt, Ranmaru felt confident in his ability as a shinobi. The low-ninja had set out once again to navigate the city-streets of the Hidden Cloud in search of the hair salon located in the southern regions of the no Sato. Once he had managed to get there, he would be greeted by a masked operative. Most village shinobi knew of the various divisions of the ANBU Butai, yet it was Ranmaru who was familiar with one specifically. His elder brother and sister whom were twins, belonged to the Neko division, which he himself had once sought to join, but that ambition quickly died out as some other wanton opportunity presented itself to the mercurial Ranmaru.

For his second mission, he had been assigned to patrol a quadrant of Kumogakure. The Genin had brought along his sheathed longsword, Shuurai, alongside his tactical vest that had been stuffed to the brim with hundreds of hira-shuriken. The white-haired shinobi looked up to acknowledge the ANBU member, as well as discern what branch from which they hailed. It wouldn't be before long, now, that the sun would start setting behind the large mountains scattered in the western countryside of Lightning. Once night had set, he would begin patrolling the area in an effort to keep crime to a minimum. His previous mission involving the hot spring pervert already gave him some prejudice against his own Fulgetra people. Most of these mountain men were absurd creeps.

Plz, do feel free to add some NPC interaction to aid me in fleshing out this mission, Marii K. Kazeraikou

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

It was only 07:21 PM in the evening. Most shops would close in less than an hour. A couple of kids were going home after their training lessons.
Others were heading to work the night shift. The skies were getting dark since they were nearly into winter.

Ranmaru would suddenly hear a voice when he passed a side street. "HEEEEELP!" screamed a male voice. The voice belonged to a teenager who was cornered by two thugs in the side street.

What would the young man do? There was two of them, but only one of him. Their victim was a civilian teenager who did not know ninjutsu.
But there was quite a few metal trashcans in the side street. Most of them were full with garbage as well. Maybe the Genin could take use of those.

[tentacruel]

Ranmaru's head snapped towards the direction from where the plea for help came; he instantly rushed forward and noticed two large men harassing a smaller youth, who seemed to hail from wealth. The shinobi remained silent and watched as the men harassed the younger male, and he sought to deal with the two men in an effective manner. Since it was just him, he would have to use means of stealth and a taciturn means to approach the situation.

The Genin moved behind some trashcans and crouched; his left hand worked at the pocket of a slot on his tactical vest, and three hira-shuriken slipped in between his fingers. Within a reasonable distance to throw the ninja stars, Ranmaru launched the initial volley at one man's back. He had no qualm over injuring someone who sought to harass a civilian of Kumogakure no Sato. At the time, he hadn't the access to his chakra techniques, so he would rely solely on taijutsu endeavors to deal with this small threat. Given the position from which he had attacked, and the low-light setting from which his attack was cast, Ranmaru was more or less attacking from the shadows. He would move once again in a quick flash, but accidentally knocked over a trash can, thus revealing his previous location. The low-nin would set up again to attack from another dark vantage point, had these men not gotten the picture to leave this child alone...

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

None of the thugs saw the male hide behind the trashcans. They were too busy with the boy. "GYAAAH!" screamed the man when the shurikens hit his back. He fell down on his knees in pain. His partner spun around to see why his buddy was crying in pain.

'Shurikens? Crap - there's a shinobi here!' realized the thug. It did not take long until he heard trashcans falling.
He took a step towards the trashcan before he realized something. The shinobi could be trying to lure him into a trap.

His victim was still up against the wall. Ranmaru had taken out one thug while the second was suspicious. The teenager could not get away without passing the second thug. What could the shinobi do? Would he teleport to save the teenager or take out the second bad guy?

[tentacruel]

Hitting his mark, the furtive Ranmaru watched from aloft on the perch of a nearby shop as one gangster fell to the ground. The youth, still pinned to the wall, seemed to be too stunned to make a movement; the remaining, and now alert, criminal had brandished a small blade in reaction to the collapse of his comrade. The silent white-haired shinobi watched and waited as curses were spat blindly in the darkness. He would draw no more shuriken; he had instead completed a small set of hand seals and allowed his chakra to rush forward from his essence. With much resistance, and accompanying pain to the downed individual, the shuriken began to tear themselves from his back. Ranmaru's excellent use of the Shuriken Souki caused the hira-shuriken to spring back towards the set of trashcans, which further confused the remaining attacker. 

In observing the man, and getting a slight feel for his motive, Ranmaru attacked. He would, in a blur, displace himself from the corner perch of the shop, and vanish down into the alleyway below. He had immediately, and assuredly to the surprise of the criminal, reappeared directly in front of the aforementioned, and delivered a sharp roundhouse kick to his face. The lifting spin that Ranmaru added to his kick was something exhibited by knowledge of the Goutetsu discipline in taijutsu. With one surprising and swift blow, the man had succumbed. The Kumogakure called out to the child, who was still hesitant to move from his location.

Once the boy reached the ninja, he thanked him for his service. It seemed that the kid's parents owned a shop in this area, and that these criminals were after the riches of the establishment; the child further explained what gang had been coming after his family and others, which was something Ranmaru would take notice of, and mention in his report after his assignment. With the two downed men now in the hands of the Bear ANBU Unit, Ranmaru continued his patrol for the remainder of the night.

The mission continued on into the dark night. Most shops kept their lights own, thanks to the abundance of natural electrical energy found in the Land of Lightning. Given this perk, Ranmaru had an easier time patrolling the market districts of Kumogakure no Sato. One of the only incidents of that night had been prior, involving those two men from the Kumorigachi Gang; another had occurred later in the night, which was handled by the Genin out on this mission. The much more minor inconvenience on his patrol route had involved chasing off a pack of stray dogs from the trash bins of a deli market. Once he had scared them off and chased them back towards the forest, he threw them what scraps he could manage to hold from the deli. Despite his official ninja ranking, Ranmaru was not necessarily a mean man of the military. He would return back to the hub of the market place and watch for some time further....





... Hours has passed, and it seemed that his shift were to be soon up. In that interim of space, he had chatted a brief moment with the occasional Bear member that came down to check on a status report. They would spiel on about taijutsu styles or foods that they enjoyed to eat. Every once in a while, the Kuma man would mention something Ranmaru had also trained in, or enjoyed the thought of. One specific taijutsu martial art brought up had been the art of Kyuujutsu, or archery. Both men seemed to be drawn to the principles of it; Ranmaru had impressed this man when he said that releasing an arrow must have felt the same as Raijin releasing a bolt of lightning. A bond was developed, and the man said that when Ranmaru was ready to train in the art, he would be his master. The Genin thanked the ANBU operative for his kindness, and once the hour of the morning had presented itself, he would rush off towards the Raikage's Tower.

Ranmaru found himself within the southern sector of the village in search of a suitable... cohort for the Lady Raikage's feline. He had known little to nothing about cat specifics, but given the desire of his nation Lightning Shadow, Ranmaru would exercise himself to figure it out anyway. The lone Cloud ninja walked around this overgrown area of the hidden village for some time until he came across a group of younger children. These students of the academy in Kumogakure no Sato snickered at Ranmaru for not being versed in animal lore. They sat him down and taught their elder a thing or two about urban area animals, in particular, the domestic cat.

- Training for Rural/Urban

[0000] // [0005]

So the kiddos gathered around Ranmaru like moths to a flame and jumped and tugged at the man. He had no candy to sate their youthful souls, but instead displayed some proficiency in Raiton to create sparks that mesmerized the youths of Kumo. He needed to know everything that there was to know about cats. 

One child told him that they are easily manipulated into becoming your friend as long as you had snacks. This reminded him too much of his best friend, Kenji, but it seemed plausible. Any wild animal in an urban area would find it ideal to have a human offer it treats at any given moment. This exchange of food for attention would encourage the wild feline to lower its guard around a human, so they could then coax it with physical manipulation rather than food suggestion. Despite being so young, the insight of these children had been profound to the heir of Saigou. He nodded in agreement when one child brought up the fact that rice cakes had been an optimal snack, not just for cats, but humans, too. Another would butt in the conversation and tell Ranmaru that he should also smile and appear friendly in front of the creature even if he truly wasn't. Since animals had an innate ability to feel another creature's emotions, it would be best to at least act or appear happy so that they won't shriek in fear and scatter into the darkness. After a while, the group had enticed Ranmaru with so much information that he let his guard down. One academy student found himself brave enough to attack the low-ninja from behind with a neck hold, but he would soon realize that Ranmaru's reflexes were on a level not yet attained by the greenhorn. The white-haired Genin would ruffle his attacker's hair and smile.

"Not quite, little one." 

Being quickly bested by his superior, the younger male would inform Ranmaru that some rural area cats found shelter in abandoned areas of the village. Given that most of the southern district had been left to waste, this had been the ideal location to find a prospect kitten for the Raikage. Ranmaru thought on for a while about several things before he would  pose more questions on to his young teachers.

Finding several new things to press upon the children, Ranmaru would first ask what sort of cats worked well with the other. The children scratched their heads and looked at one another before turning to Ranmaru.

"Well, almost all cats like to play. It would be best to find a kitten and not a mean old cat, so that you can figure out if you can train it to become a nice kitty." The children then went on a spiel, informing Ranmaru about one mean boss cat that had taken over about a mile's territory in the southern district. The calico cat had one eye and a dangerous claw. It went on well to inform the neophyte Ranmaru that although most cats in the village had been living in a rural area for a long time, they still displayed many wild and violent traits. One child suggested that if the Cloud ninja wanted to find the perfect cat for the Raikage, that he should offer treats to the small and cute kittens and steer clear of any that looked old with rugged fur.

Ranmaru stood up and dust himself off as he slipped a few ryo to the children. He would thank them for their inside knowledge and then go out into the fields to test his own luck in finding a suitable mate for the Raikage's select breed.

Cat found!

[tentacruel]

Knowing that the southern area of Cloud village had been over run with wild life, Ranmaru searched here for a suitable domestic, rural cat companion for the Raikage. It didn't take long for the genin to find a litter of four kittens, that had been playing around in some overgrow. He had heard them from his silent stalking and watched them for a while as they played and gnawed at one another. After he got the kitten he was looking for, he would tell the kids who had shown him the ropes in animal lore this hideout. Maybe they could take one or two of the remaining kittens and train them up to be truly domestic.

The Genin would first utilize the ploy of offering and offered the kitten posse a snack. Only two seemed to budge at his attempt. The rice cake and water would be accepted by both a white cat with streaks and a solid black cat, that really caught Ranmaru's eye for its sheen. It was still a small kitten, but had an undeniably good coat of fur. He took this into consideration as he watched them eat the snacks he presented them. As time grew on, he felt comfortable enough to reach for and pet the small cats. They didn't seem to mind; the white one had coiled up for a nap, but the darker one was so full of energy and ready to pounce at any given moment. A smile spread across Ranmaru's face and soon, he had become the natural scratching post for this little black cat. It had climbed up his leg and torso and applied its ineffective claws to the latex-material of his clothing. Ranmaru lifted the kitten to his face to give it a kiss, but soon realized that it had been playing coy and that actually, its claws were very sharp on human skin.

Still, he had found, or so he hoped, a suitable mate for the Raikage's cat known as Shiori. This small male feline would grow in no time to match the size of its potential mate, and as Ranmaru hoisted it on to his shoulder, the kitten couldn't help but scratch at his white hair. Although it had been a playful endeavor, it left Ranmaru with numerous claw marks on his almost-always immaculate face. He would then blink off towards the Raikage's Tower in a hurry lest his visage become more agitated by this energetic feline.

Ranmaru was set to return to the grotto where he found small kitten. Unfortunately, he had received communications from the Raikage Tower that the feline of the Lady Raikage was of mature age, and so she sought a suitable companion and not a whelp. Once the genin managed to shake the trail of the small litter, he would search out for the companion of Shiori.

An unfortunate turn of events led the aspiring Genin down the face of some perilous cliff within the deep ranges of Kaminari-no-Kuni. Ranmaru had slipped and fell quietly to his death as thunder and lightning rolled around him.

It would be some time later that his decomposing body would be found. Medical ninja sent to examine the boy's body would determine that the cause of death had been a broken neck.
