Reports say that our shipment of ninja tools was intercepted by bandits, your job is to

Prim had received the scroll early that morning. Luckily she was already up, which was Prims new routine. If the sun was up, so was she. She was even dressed in her ninja attire and had her gear on her. She read the scroll over and over again. Prim was even excited to be working with other shinobi.
She opened the scroll to read it yet again. For some reason she was anxious to do this mission.

She smiled as she threw on her black cloak and stuck the scroll in her weapons bag. She went to the kitchen, left a note and then walked out the front door. Sadly, the weather looked nice. Prim sighed, then smirked because she saw the clouds on the horizon. “It better rain. It would make this day oerfect for me.” She said as she began to skip across the ground happily. She stopped skipping so she didn’t make a spectacle of herself. No need for embarrassment, she had a reputation to keep. She made it to the village gates and leaned against the post. Her fellow shinobi should be there soon, it was not abnormal for Prim to be first.

Sanji woke up with the sun as well, though today he maybe wasn't as spry as he usually might be. It wasn't the prospect of a mission or who he was working with, he had just been a bit disenfranchised lately and it was harder to get motivated. Still, Sanji went about his morning routine with efficiency so as not to keep Primrose waiting. He got dressed, made himself a quick breakfast which he carried with him on the way, a large turkey sandwich wasn't a common breakfast, but when one lives on their own, typical convention tends to fall by the wayside.

He was about to walk out the door when he realized he forgot his ninja tools. What a cockup that was. He walked back in, grabbed the pouch, and simply carried it with him as he strolled down the street, looking disinterested as he approached Primrose." Good morning." He said casually, still snacking on his sandwich quietly. It takes a lot to power a body as big as his, so Sanji ate almost on the level of an Akimichi clan member at times, though he had no techniques that actually converted calories to chakra, at least yet.

Primrose saw Sanji walk up to her. "Hello Sanji, I take it you are my partner on this mission? You received a scroll correct?" Prim said and asked. Prim luckily had sushi stuck in a small bag on her belt for her food. In case she was hungry later. She had a fruit salad and yogurt for breakfast, which was not unusual for her, Prim had a habit of eating healthy these days.
“I am ready to go if you are.” Prim said as she walked out of the gates hoping Sanji was following. As much as she liked to do missions, she had training she had to do today as well. Prim had some goals she was determined to reach, one being to surpass some people she knew.
Sanji looked as though he would be a good ally to have on this mission. He seemed strong and she guessed he was Chuunin level. She had heard some people in the village talk about him, and everything she had heard was good. This mission seemed quite dangerous, a good partner was important. “This is a dangerous mission, I am glad you are my partner. You don’t seem too weak.” Prim said with a smirk.

Even though he was of a higher rank than Primrose, he really didn't care for the leadership role, though technically he had been told to spearhead command, he figured nothing too drastic would go wrong, so he would just kind of mesh with her and go to make sure things don't get squirrely for Primrose.

Sanji followed her out of the gate, knocking the crumbs from his gloved hands as he looks over at the diminutive female he was accompanying, listening to her speak." Depends on who you ask, I suppose." he replies in regard to her comment about him seeming strong." You seem like you could make a mean cup noodle." he says humorously, not sure how to make conversation with her just yet.

Despite her normal rudeness, she had to crack a smile at Sanji. "I prefer sushi, but I could make a mean cup of noodles to. I would have done this alone, but they said it was dangerous, and you do seem as though you could fight three people at once. I am not to sure how many people we are dealing with, but between the two of us I am sure we could take them on.” Prim said as she looked over at Sanji, he was pretty muscular. As they approached a place deep in the woods after 30 minutes of walking, behind a huge thicket of trees was several boxes of weapons.
“I think this may be the place. Would they really leave them unguarded though?” Prim thought the sight was to suspicious. Who would honesty walk away from such precious cargo? This cargo was very important and had several dangerous weapons. “Something doesn’t seem right, either this is a set up or the thieves are extremely stupid.” Prim looked from the cargo back to Sanji. She was beginning to wonder what her partner was thinking. It all seemed way to suspicious to Primrose, who really wanted to get the mission out of the way, but do it safely.

Sanji nodded curtly in regard to her confident statement about them being able to handle themselves. He personally wasn't worried about a fight, he was thinking beyond this mission and to the implications that it could present eventually." I'm not concerned with whoever we might be facing, I'm concerned with the motive. Other than the materials they're made out of, ninja tools aren't particularly useful to anyone but ninjas, so the idea that this is a profit grab is silly. This is a weakening tactic, and is always the reason why I keep up with any ninja tools I utilize, when possible to do so. It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it..." He trails off before abruptly wrapping both arms around Primrose and lifting her off her feet.

Sanji quickly jumped away from the crates should Primrose have already tripped anything, but his eye just caught a tripwire where Primrose had been walking. He let her stand on her own and quickly reached into his pouch, tossing 3 kunai swiftly to the east. The 3 clangs of metal tell the story of what he was throwing at as he deflects 3 kunai thrown at the two of them." Aww... you spotted our trap. I guess ogres have better eyesight than people give them credit for." said a voice belonging to 1 of 4 ninjas emerging from the trees, no visible insignia that may trace them back to a village on them.

Sanji eyed them quietly, undeterred by the insult as he sneakily hands Primrose a couple of smoke bombs and then moves from behind her, standing in front of her and using hand signals to tell her to throw the smoke bombs at them as soon as Sanji makes his move.

Prim was very light weight, only one hundred and five pounds and she stands at five foot two inches tall. So when Sanji picked her up she felt like she was flying! After he threw the kunai and protected them from the tripwire trap, she suddenly realized she had almost set the trap herself. “Thank you.” She said to Sanji. When the ninjas appeared, Prims eyes began to glow their crimson red color. She started to go through different genjutsus in her mind knowing she would use them if she had to. She also drew her sword. Then when Sanji handed her the smoke bombs, she realized he had the whole thing planned out already. She was not about to question him like she would normally do to anyone else, she trusted Sanjis instincts after seeing what he was already capable of doing. It was apparent that Sanji was a talented ninja indeed and a good partner so far on this mission.
“Ready.” Prim whispered to him. These ninjas were apparently going to be trouble but it wouldn’t be anything that these two could not handle. Though Prim did not like the comment they made to Sanji, she knew it did not bother him.

Sanji stood up straight and casually walked toward the 4 ninja, not even preparing a kunai beforehand." Why did you take this shipment?" he asked. The one who insulted him earlier laughed before another said "As long as you don't have it that's good enough for me." He said. Sanji stopped mere feet away as the 4 prepared to attack. Sanji gave a subtle signal for Primrose to throw the smoke bombs, slowly sliding his right foot back and taking on what mostly looks like a boxing stance without the movement.

In truth he gave Primrose the smoke bombs in case she needed a screen to get away should things go awry. He didn't let on to her that fact, so when he saw a more offensive opportunity he instead instructed her via hand signals to throw the smoke behind him and come in for an attack to back him up, preferably genjutsu considering the multitude of targets. Just then 3 rushed at him and one more started forming seals. Sanji swiftly jumped out of the way of the 3 ninjas attacking him up close and began forming seals of his own. Holding 2 fingers next to his mouth, he abruptly spewed forth a torrent of water directly at the one about to unleash a jutsu, hoping to interrupt him and have enough time to cope with the 3 below him should Prim have missed the signal.

Prim noticed the signal almost immediately and threw one smoke bomb at the guy in front of Sanji then threw the other bomb at the other three guys. She saw Sanji spew water at the ninja in front of him, so figuring he had control of that situation, she decided to use genjutsu on the other three.
“If you guys want to fight, I bet I could take all three of you on. I am not going to be nice though!” Primrose could hear them coughing in the smoke. And as the smoke started to clear, they began to do hand signs. “No no, no, I don’t think so.” Prim said smirking cockily at the three. Her red glowing eyes stared at the three of them from one to the next, after a couple of quick hand signs, the three guys began to act as though they were lost and scared. “Where are we? I thought we were… where did they go?’ She heard them say. Prim snickered as she pulled her sword and moved quickly to stab each one as quick as she could while they were trapped in her genjutsu. They each fell over dead. She turned to look at Sanji to make sure he was ok in his situation.

Sanji heard screams of pain behind him as he continued dousing the ninja below him with a powerful stream of water, aiming right for his face to pin him down and deprive him of air. The technique was stopped just before he landed and picked up the hacking and coughing ninja by the hair, hearing choked cries of pain from him." Ready to join them?" he says to the ninja he had in his custody, wrenching the man's arms behind him and letting him look at his downed comrades." No! Wait a second! I'll do whatever you want, just don't kill me!" begged the ninja.

Sanji looked at Primrose before he headbutted the ninja in the temple to knock him out, then tossing him onto his shoulder." Easier than tying him up." he says. He walked with her back to the village and headed toward the interrogation center." Good job back there, but one point of advice. You had them in a genjutsu, you could've just knocked them out. Now we only have 1 person to interrogate instead of 4 and less of a chance of getting to the bottom of this and maybe other issues plaguing the village right now." he says, perhaps sounding more stern than he intended to. Sanji was just careful with who he disposed of and why, his overbearing physical presence belying a gentle giant who simply doesn't enjoy killing. He tends to see more value in keeping people alive, though admittedly he doesn't always consign them to a kind fate, seeing as Konoha's interrogation methods were rather brutal, to say the least.

Once their captive was left at the interrogation center and they had gone back to get the supplies, then returned with them, He and Prim went to collect their reward.
