Missing pets mission

Sanji looked down at the file with a light sigh, it wasn't that he was particularly exasperated over the file's contents, it was just that he had been a bit perturbed lately and his mood wasn't exactly stellar at this particular juncture. His hand snapped shut, closing the file and setting it on the desk before nodding his approval, silently accepting the mission. He turned without pleasantry or ceremony and walked out of the office to go see if he can't track down a gaggle of cats. Before he got too far into this task he went and procured a number of leashes to help him keep track of the animals. 5 leashes, to be exact, for 5 cats. Meanwhile he asked around for anyone who might've seen the cats. He was then directed to the fish monger's stand. Sure, there was a cat there, but it wasn't one of the cats he was looking for. In fact the cat belonged to the fish monger himself. This fact annoyed Sanji and he made a mental note to accidentally trip the man who gave him such a worthless tip into a pile of manure one day.

Sanji's travels took him all around the village and he hadn't had anything resembling luck in completing this task. He was beginning to lose heart when he heard the barking of a dog and the squeal of multiple cats. Quickly he ran to where the commotion was, and immediately he recognized 5 cats with ornate collars being chased by a large dog. Just as he was about to make his move the cats scattered, and with a groan he went after the only one he still saw. Passing by a teriyaki stand he bought some chicken on a stick and lured the dog with it, taking the chicken off the stick before he threw the chicken to the dog, making him forget all about the cats. When he had some daylight he snatched up one of the cats after running it down, and put a leash on its collar. For now he carried the cat with him and chased down 2 more, who also tried to scatter on him, but cleverly he knocked over a box to block the path of the black one and then chased the white one down on open road. The cats meowed in protest as he leashed them as well. 3 down, 2 to go.

Soliciting the help of a fellow ninja in exchange for a bowl of ramen later, he had the genin look after the 3 cats before he went after the last two. They proved to be the hardest of all as they had gotten into trouble once again with that same dog. He sighed and sprinted out in front of the, and again they tried to scatter. He showed that that big body could move quite fast when it needed to, snatching up one of the cats before jumping in front of the other and nabbing it as well. With a leash placed on the 2 collars of the cats and another piece of chicken purchased to bargain off the dog, he went back to the genin and got the other 3 cats before he went back to the mission office, where the wealthy lady was waiting. Somehow the pets didn't seem thrilled to see her as they tried to run right back out the door Sanji just brought them through before finally resigning themselves to their fate and waiting for the squealing lady to run over and hug the stuffing out of them, metaphorically speaking. With a wipe of his now sweaty brow, Sanji walked forward to collect payment.
