Robbing Merchants

Mission Specs:

Montague Hebi stood in the shadows, his cloak's hood drawn over his head. As always, mist slowly streamed from both the hood and under it, as if Hebi himself was made of mist. His eyes, unhindered by the mist, were locked on a group of merchants.
From where he was, he could hear and smell them, and the blood coursing through their veins. Hebi watched as they ate, filling themselves up for a good night's rest; unknowing that none of them would ever find themselves awake again. Hebi was just in need of some ryo, but did not see anything wrong with a little snack on the way.
Unfortunately for him, the only hunger he could satisfy was his desire to kill, as he could not risk people finding bodies with the signature teeth marks and bloodloss that follows a feeding of his. As he watched them settle down for the night, Hebi got ready for the coming slaughter.

Performing the Hidden Mist Technique jutsu, Hebi filled the surrounding area with mist. One of the merchants had stayed awake to act as guard, and he watched as their camp filled with the mist. He was unable to see and stumbled around. Thanks to his bloodline's ablilities, Hebi could both hear and smell the man.

Moving at a speed far above his normal one, thanks to the granted powers that the darkness of night gave him, Hebi ran towards him, barely making a sound. The first, and last, hint to the sentry was Hebi's hands clasping his neck and wrenching it to the side, killing him instantly. Though he had been stealthy, the sound the neck makes when breaking is audible, and it awoke the other merchants.

One of them did not even get off the ground, Hebi running over and kicking his head so hard that his head caved in. Turning around, one of the merchants was blindly calling out for the others. Hebi jumped him, and crushed his throat in, leaving one last merchant. Hebi focused, and heard him running away from the camp site. Hebi stalked him, even allowing him to get outside of the mist, drinking in the man's fear.

Knowing that he had to end it, Hebi ran after the man, easily overtaking him. He sank his claws into the man's neck, and tore out a giant chunk of flesh. As the man fell to the ground, Hebi licked the blood and gore off his hands. After which, he frisked the dead man, and returned to the camp. Searching the other dead bodies, he collected all the ryo they had on them.

Drawing the hood back onto his head, as it had fallen when he was running all over the camp, Hebi walked away from the camp, and vanished into the night. Others came across the grisly sight in the morning, but with no clear sign of what had done it. The strength needed to snap someone's neck to that angle, crush someone's head in, and crush someone's throat was inhuman; also the throat of the last man looked like an animal had clawed at it.
