Missing Pets Mission

Spoiler:

Corvin just needed a little more ryo before he could afford his first puppet. Feeling desperate, he went to the mission boards and found only one mission with a reward big enough to get him what he needed. Unfortunately, Corvin felt like it was one of the most demeaning missions he could have imagined. Catching cats? Seriously? He had trained his butt off at the academy, and a great deal more since becoming a Genin, all for the right to be able to chase cats? It was mortifying. Had it not been for the fact that Corvin liked cats a great deal, he would likely have just sucked it up and waited for something better to come along. As it stood, he accepted the mission and figured he would just get it over with as quickly as he could and be done with it. 

Heading over to the old lady's house, he asked her for descriptions of each of the cats as well as for a little bit of the food that she usually fed them. Considering the lady's obnoxious and clingy behavior, it was no wonder the cats ran off. Who cries this hard over a few cats taking a road trip? He feigned a smile through the conversation and left as quickly as he could. Sure enough, upon heading out her front door, cat number one was sitting across the street lying in the shade of the neighbor's house. He walked over and the cat lazily stared at him as he lifted it up and brought it over to the old lady. One down, four to go. He found the second up in a tree being barked at by a dog a little ways up the street. He chased off the dog and climbed the tree to get the terrified cat. It took a moment before the cat trusted him enough to let him touch it, but then it did not offer any protest to being picked up. Two down.

The third cat took a bit of searching to find. He eventually found it drinking out of a well in someone's back yard. Upon seeing him it looked as though it was going to bolt. Corvin froze. Leaning down, he placed a little of the food he had gotten from the old lady on the ground in front of him. Upon seeing it, the cat promptly came over to eat the food. Once it was done eating, it offered no protest to being picked up and brought back home. Three down.

The last two cats he found together on the roof of a house. One was napping while the other was busily licking its nether regions. Yet again, food seemed to be key with these two pudgy cats, and soon enough he was walking down the street with a purring cat under each arm. Dropping them off at the old lady's house, she promptly insisted he stay for dinner. Try as he might, Corvin could not talk his way out of it. This was way beyond what this mission called for...
