Art Theft (p, io)

Mission:

As Kyson had woken up for another day. It seemed the village was coming for him for a lot of duties. Kyson didn't mind all the work he was getting because it would replace his training. So it wasn't too bad, plus the missions he has been getting aren't anything difficult. Kyson usually finishes them in less than an hour if he takes his time. About half an hour for an average. And probably less than that if he is actually trying to finish it quick. As Kyson was about to hit the bathroom to get washed up and brush his teeth. Someone was knocking on the door. Another mission again? Kyson assumed. Kyson leaves his room and heads towards the door. Kyson opened the door and its a Suna ninja who looks like he is about to give Kyson another mission.

"Another mission?" Kyson says to the Suna ninja. He kind of had it coming since this would be Kyson's fourth mission in a row.

"Ha ha, yeah. How did you know?" The suna ninja said. He had on the average Suna shinobi outfir. Even though Kyson didn't really wear his. He wore the same attire he did when he was in Kumo.

"I just had a feeling. So what's up this time?" Kyson said with a face of curiosity. The last few missions he had weren't that serious so he didn't expect this one to be any different. The fellow shinobi was now ready to speak.

"There has been reports that multiple have had their paintings stolen. He has been reported to be a guy with black cloth all over his body. It would even cover his face. He sort of looks suspicious, so he shouldn't be hard to pin out. After you catch him, bring him back to HQ and return the stolen paintings... or what's left of them. That will be all." The Suna ninja said as he departed. It looked like Kyson was on a search and capture mission. It seemed this guy was a pretty skilled theft. So making it known I'm a ninja wouldn't be the best idea. Kyson would have to lure him in some way. But first, he is going to get ready and head out immediately.

Kyson rushed upstairs to his room as he headed towards his bathroom.to take a shower and brush his teeth. After he was done, he put on his regular attire and was ready to head out. He didn't want to carry any equipment since he didn't want to look suspicious. He wanted to look like a regular person. Maybe using the transformation jutsu would be a good idea as well. Kyson proceed to leave the house as he was coming up with better ideas. As Kyson was walking, he was going to visit painting stores he has seen while going on walks. Kyson was only aware of 3 painting stores at the time. He was not sure if there were more or not. But those 3 are fairly close to each other. 

Kyson was heading to the first store. It was a small store with a lot of paintings outside. The store was called "Painting Luxury." With a big sign with that title on the front of the store.The owner of the store looked worried as if something happened. So Kyson approached him and asked.

"Excuse me. But has anyone stolen any of your paintings lately. I was sent to capture the theft." Kyson said to the store clerk.

"Ohhh yes thank you. They stole my most valuable painting. Please, please oh please can you catch this man." The clerk begged to Kyson. Kyson was going to go check the other stores to see what was up. 

"Don't worry, I'll bring them back sir." Kyson said as he headed to the second store. He walked up to the second store to see what was up with this store. 

"Excuse me, has there been some theft going around here?" Kyson said to the second store that stole paintings. This on was similar to the last one except it was called "Arts R Us." This guy looked worried as well.

"Yes, please help us. He took our most valuable painting as well." The second store owner said. It seemed this guy was interested in stealing valuable paintings, maybe to sell them? That would be the smartest thing to do. Kyson doubts this guy really loves the paintings. Kyson decided to head over to the next store. This third, the guy didn't look sad. He looked rather fine like he was having a good day. So Kyson asked the same question he did to the other store clerks.

"Excuse me, has anyone stole any of your paintings recently?" Kyson asked the third clerk.

"Why no, everything has been good here. Although I've heard what happened to the other stores. I hope that doesn't happen to mine." The third store clerk said as he was worried. 

"May, I use this store as a diversion to catch the theft. It will stop this problem once and for all." Kyson asked the store owner. 


"Sure, whatever it takes to catch this man." The owner said.

Kyson began to use his false surroundings genjutsu to change the store up a bit. He made an illusion of one of the paintings to make it look gold with diamonds all over it. Kyson also made one of the signs say "GOLD PAINTING WORTH 20 MILLION RYO." This should have the theft come running over here. Kyson would also use the transformation jutsu to look like a normal civilian. He had blonde hair, a white shirt, and some blue shorts. He definitely didn't look like a ninja. As Kyson ran about 20 meters away from the store, he stayed on watch to see any suspicious activity. 

Kyson waited and waited until the culprit showed up. After about half an hour. He saw a guy with black cloths all around him. He looked like he was trying to sneak up on the store clerk. Kyson stayed on watch until he was a hundred percent sure the guy was the theft. After a few moments, the theft rushed to take the painting and tried to flee. But before he could flee, Kyson body flicked at 200 speed and grabbed the clerk with one hand, putting him in the air. Kyson then began to ask.

"Tell me where the other paintings are or I won't hold back. I'll show you what real pain is in a little if you don't tell me the right answer." Kyson said with the most serious face.

"Okay okay okay, the rest of the paintings are a block from here and are in a white plastic bag." The theft said as he was shocked and scared.

"Thank you, and I'll be taking you back to HQ." Kyson said as he ran towards HQ at a speed of 100 while using Hoho. He also had the theft on his left shoulder. As Kyson approached HQ, he dropped them off in front of the ninja. 

"Thanks Kyson, we'll take it from here." One of the ninja's said to Kyson.

"No problem, I'll be returning the rest of the paintings to the rightful owners." Kyson said to the ninja.

"Okay, and thanks again." The ninja said to Kyson.

Kyson was now headed to the place where the theft had kept the paintings. Kyson ran to the spot at a speed of 50. As he reached the place the theft had spoke about. He saw the white paper bag with two large paintings in them. Kyson ran towards the two stores which the paintings were stolen from and returned them to the owners. As Kyson was dropping off the paintings, he saw the owners looking pleased and grateful. As Kyson was running past them, he waved back with a smile on his face. It seemed Kyson was done his mission for today. It's always good to get a good deed done around the village. It always put Kyson in a good mood. As Kyson was continuing to walk around Suna, he was looking for something to do. Kyson wondered what Royalty was doing since he has been doing some missions on the side. Maybe he was getting missions too or he was training. Kyson started to get a bit hungry and thought he should go and get something to eat.
