The Ninja Way... Of Earning a Living (Mission P)

[Y]

Yutaka walked around on the streets looking around. He was trying to find one of teh Barracudas. He had a scheme starting to form in his head. He took all of the rags he could find as he wondered the streets. He knew they might provide the ultimate illusion. He carried a bolas in one hand. Once he had gathered enough rags he climbed behind a dumpster and activated his Hydra Clone technique. He hit his clone with a bolas. With a pop the clone disappeared and two appeared. Yutaka repeated this until there were about 20.

Yutaka allowed his chakra to work unsteadily on ther faces. He allowed the faces to be inpercise. He made it look like he had a gang of followers. He deemed this gang Da Hydras. He sniggered at his own joke. There wasn’t much pleasure on the streets. He just wanted to find a gang so he could figure out how to bring this undying war to an end. He wondered if he would find someone soon. He knew that these people would be no match for a ninja. Yutaka prepared to use his ventriloquism. He knew it might be his lifeline in the case that the gangs didn’t fall for the made up gang illusion.

Yutaka prepared to use his Phantasmal Swarm as well. He would use this to appear to be an insect master. He would envision the flies and cockroaches that lived around the streets. He knew that these could be nasty biting disease carrying insects. Any person of moderate intelligence would avoid bugs like these. Then again these gangs may not be of moderate intelligence.

Night had fallen upon Takigakure. The Bright moon illuminated each street with a blue glow. Hard shadows flooded each street. Sporadic lights dotted the streets and were slowly being put out. The citizenry had became frightened by the activity of The Barracuda and River Sharks. Even bars closed early leaving drunkards to drink elsewhere.

A scout stood upon the roof wearing the midnight blue associating himself with the Barracudas. The scout held a wooden sword in his belt in case he ran into trouble. This area was under the control of the barracuda but under assault from the Sharks. His watch was smooth so far as he patrolled the roofs. Crouching on the roof, he watched a kid holding rags. Seemed innocent but he kept his eyes on him. As Yutaka began his handseals, he realized that this was no regular kid but a Taki Ninja.

"So the Takikage finally had the balls to come down on us. But he sends a kid to deal with us." he thought.

Upon his belt, was a rather large walkie-talkie. He reached for the radio and brought it to his mouth pressing the button to reach other scouts. The radio screeched loudly making the scout flinch and drop the radio. The radio slid upon the sloped roof towards the edge and the street below. The scout crawled frantically after it. It reached the edge and the scout caught it. He yelled "Gotcha..!" He then realized the ruckus he had made as he looked at the genin shocked.

This scout that appeared before you could hold valuable information upon your goal. With is blunder, he has interrupted your preparation. What do you do?

[Y]

Yutaka wasn't prepared to meet up with any trouble yet. He wasn't up for trying to guess what gang this fumbling idiot was from. He had to be a gang member. there was no way any inocennt citizen of Takikagure, save a ninja, would be jumping around on the rooftops.

Siletnly pretending he didn't hear the man, Yutaka activated phantasmal swarm. He created the illusion of coakroaches, flies and tiny fleas. He made one appear to be in his palm. "Oh, you found our guest. You guys will get him, won't you? Leave the bones for me though, I need some proof to show to there leader. Show me." Yutaka this emotionlessly and expressionlessly. With this the fly in Yutaka's hand would fly over to the scout and buzz loudly. Yutaka maintained all his focus into the illusional swarm now crawling towards the Scout.

Wordlessly Yutaka raised his bolas and hesitated before he threw at the person on the building. Hoping the man wasn't an normal citizen, Yutaka aimed carefully, but threw quickly. He though it would miss but he didn't care. The Psycological effect of the 'bug master' was planted. Even if the man escaped, if he was in a gang, he would tell the gang about his encounter. The seed was planted. Now he needed to figure out how it would grow.

[~Cody]

The scout tried to spring to his feet quickly but the conjured swarm was upon him quickly. He scurried about swatting and swinging his arms until he was entangled in the thrown bolas. The scout tumbled to the floor writhing as the genjutsu continued to torture the scout.

The Genjutsu would fade out but it didn't matter. Yutaka would walk over to the building and begin to climb up at a brisk pace. He would climb the building with a sturdy grio on the wall at all times. If he fell off it was game-over. He climbed up to the roof top and dipped his hand in a puddle. He activated his Water Claw. He raised the Water claw to his enemy's kneck. He tried to look as threatening as possible. His head flicked to make his headband gleam.

"Where is your leader? Do you want bigger bugs? I can do bigger bugs. I have bugs bigger then you and deadly poisionous." Yutaka was refrencing his tutor earlier that day he had talked about bugs." Claw rising up to the mans head and cutting a little bit, Yutaka spoke once more, "AndI want the walkie-talkie" Yutaka spoke cool and nonchalantly.

[~Cody]

"Hgnn..." The scout grimaced from the blade cutting into his neck slightly. "Please no!" he blubbered. "The boss he's at a warehouse just up the way."Answering the next demand from the youth. "You can have it, please don't kill me." He said looking to the device just inches away from him.

[Y]

Accepting The information and walkie-talkie from the scout, Yutaka was pleased with how it was going. Who knew imaginary bugs could bring a gangster to his knees? Yutaka was excited for the response from the terrified scout. He needed a little bit more infromation then he could be on his way. This mission would be apiece of cake if all the gangsters were babbling idiots like this. claw fading, Yutaka would activate the jutsu again.

"Which gang are you from and what is your name?" Yutaka demanded but he continued his nonchalant tone. Yutaka wished to continue being th bug master in theeyes of the gang. He put a cut into the man's thigh. Yutaka didn't want this guy to continue on to the gang or tell them anything. "Get your wond taken care of. If you don't my bugs are going to get in it. Soon" Yutaka was still hold and cruel as ever.

[~Cody]

The scout sighed in relief as the claw disappeared from the genin's hand. He tensed up again as he created another.

"I-I'm Tetsu O.. Oww! Dammit.." He exclaimed as he was cut on his thigh. Tetsu Ogura! I'm with the Barracuda's." Tetsu listened to the genin especially with the threat of more bugs. "I will.. I quit from now on!"

Leaving the reformed scout alone. The walkie-talkie buzzed and a voice crackled broadcasting to the scout this walkie-talkie belonged to. "Tetsu...Testu come in, over" The voice went silent as another voice chimed in. "He has that dinosaur handset.. He can hear us though." The second voice went silent. "Well, we have a visual on the bosses cart. I'm ready to do this! How dare he think of disbanding our gang." The first voice was determined. "Right this work of ours is all I have. I rather do this than work or school."

[Y]

Taking the walie talkie, Daichi made a simple command. "Now tell them everything went as usual. Say your on your way back. Then you can
go to the hospital or something. don't go to your base. If you try anything, I will slice you." Daichi said to the scout. This was taking longer than Daichi had wanted.He just wanted to get this done.

[Ryuuchou Meimu]

The young medic had only recently left the Takikage's Tower, and already he had arrived on the street that had been specified on the mission scroll. It seemed a bit quieter than he had expected, seeing as there was a gang war going on. Then again, as he thought about it, it made sense. With gangs fighting, people weren't exactly likely to step outside and potentially get attacked and hurt, or worse, killed. He hadn't heard news of any murders or deaths, but that didn't mean that the gang war wouldn't eventually escalate to that. That would never happen, as the Takikage had taken notice and made it a mission for ninja to be assigned. As Ryuuchou had taken on the mission, he swore to himself that he wouldn't let it escalate further.

First, he figured he would have to investigate and do things of that sort. He had been told that another Genin had taken on the mission as well, so he thought it would be a good idea to try and find him. He looked around for a moment and spotted something precious and incredibly helpful. Taking advantage of several nearby puddles, he wove a series of hand seals and summoned up clones in his own likeness. There were 5 in all and he ordered them to spread out and search on their own, and he would search as well.

[Y]

((OOC: I just realized my last post was on my wrong acount. I am skipping Ryuuto for the time being. I will Pm him after this. Just wanted to show acknolegement.))

As I was interogating the man, I noticed a racket comiong from below. Noticing this I gestured for the man to be a little quieter in his reply. As I glance down to the ground I notice a ninja headband. I sigh in relief. Shoot! I broke my act. Let's hope the man dind't notice my out of character actions. If he did this operation was going to go downhill fast.

I inhaled slowly, and exhaled. I had one of my illusionary clones from earlier emerge form the shadows, point up and make a shushing gesture. I hoped the gesture would be clear to the wandering ninja. I did this with only a sideways glacne and a little bit of chakra. I didn;t want the scout to notice the fact that I had clones down there. Maybe it would be good for him to see another ninja, but i wasn't sure yet.

[~Cody]

{OOC: Sorry for the wait.. Slight turbulence in RL for me.}

The scout composed himself and spoke into the handset. "My patrol was clear. I'll approach and head for the warehouse to set up the ambush. The scout turned away from the handset and sighed.

"We're planning to ambush the boss and the leaders of the Sharks. Just myself and two other guys. Those guys are the bosses right hands. The boss went behind their backs to end our activity here. Even the Sharks are going straight..."

[Ryuuchou Meimu]

It wasn't long before another ninja was beckoning to him to be quiet, and pointing up to a nearby roof. He looked and saw the same ninja up there with what appeared to be a hostage. "You must be a clone then." He said quietly, nodding in understanding. He would lay low and try to act as a support for the other. Making sure his own clones were aware, he signaled them and nodded toward the roof, and they each nodded. They then spread out, but not far from Ryuuchou, ready to be called upon should they be needed.

As for the real deal, the male medic quickly made his way to the side of the building and channeled Chakra to his feet, and began to make his way up the side wall, carefully and quietly. He wasn't sure what was going on, so he needed to get closer and perhaps listen to the conversation, while keeping his presence hidden and remaining unknown to the gang member.

Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: Allows a Non-Ninja the ability to perform Advanced chakra techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: Non Ninjas must learn in order to learn Advanced chakra techniques. Ninjas gain this technique for free in the beginning however does not add into Character Class like other starting techniques. Does not work on Animal Companions.
Description: Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climbing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra. It also teaches the ninja how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will have any jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their chakra as needed. Allows a user to learn up to "C" Rank Chakra related Techniques.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique.

"Just tell me the location of the warehouse and you can go free. By the way, if iwfind you helping your gang or any gang again this my bolas and bugs won't go for your legs. Your throat is awful vulnerable. I think my bugs and bolas will like it." I say nonchalantly. While the man spoke I would listen. Starting to lose my character I would hop down from the rooftops, comunicator in hand.

"Transform!" I would wisper as i use the technique I learned in the academy. I was now a perfect replica of Tetsu Ogura. I imagined the man's voice and tried to imitate it. "All clear." I say to the shinobi crouching on the gorund. "He won't be trying to help his gang anytime soon. Who are you though?" I ask. I seem only half intrested as I study my mission scoll as I speak. I was only half intrested. I could handle this mission all on my own.

If the man said anything that wasn't earth-shattering I would gesture for him to follow me to the warehouse the man had revealed. i would maintain my identity as the gangster. This mission was perfect for a specialist in genjutsu. These gangster are going to believe anything. If the ninja was a clone, Iwould wait for the real one to catch up.

"The warehouse.." he repeated "Quarter mile up the street. I'm through .. i'm going straight and narrow. You'll never hear about me again.

[Ryuuchou Meimu]

"My name is Ryuuchou Meimu. I'm a medic." He said politely, following along by the side of the other. "Who are you?" He asked in return, looking back up toward the roof. "And what did he tell you?" He added. He glanced back behind him and saw that his Water Clones were following behind without being too obvious.

[Y]

Listening to the ninja, I would hop off the roof. I would bend my knees as I land so that I wouldn't get hurt. The ninja wastred no time questioning me. Strange that the takikage had sent reinforcements. I thought I could handle this. Deciding I should answer the man I would respond;

"I am Yutaka Shinoto, Ninja to Takigakure. I am planning to learn the medical arts but currently specialise in Genjutsu.May I prove your authenticity?" I reach out to touch the man's forehead protecter.

[~Cody]

As the two greeted each other the radio in Yutaka's possession buzzed. The first voice crackled. "The boss just entered the warehouse we're going to give them a few then move in. You'll wait from the cue from us to attack from above." The first voice was interrupted by the second. "The signal is Raphael wiping dust from his shoulder." The second voice chuckled then cut off.

[Ryuuchou Meimu]

"Um, sure... I guess." The ninja said, wiping his hair away from covering the metal plate of his headband. "That sounds like me. I'm a Genjutsu Specialist and I've been training in Medical Ninjutsu for quite a while." He said with a smile, stepping forward as the radio buzzed. "Well, I guess we know what we're supposed to do." He said, glancing back to signal his clones to come a bit closer and walk in a broken circle formation around the two ninja. "So I suppose we try and look down from part way up a building, wait for someone to brush their shoulders off, and then we can go down and beat some guys up?" Suggested Ryuuchou, continuing to move forward. He looked around, seeing that his clones had been able to understand him.
