Shiro's Second Missing-Nin Encounter [mission]

mission:

Shiro's wrists are clad in eighty pound wrapping weights. His hands are together at his center, folded in a  loose snake seal over his mid section while he leans his back against one of the poles of the village gates. The bicep muscles hold the lower arms at their positions, keeping the arms bent at their ninety degree angles. Those muscles, burning from use, continue to be worked as Taiyo watches the road leading out from the village gates and through to the outside. In the past few hours, he had witnessed merchants move through. In their passing by, he asked of their reason for coming to the village, where they were going. Among the things said, he has told them how to get to where they want to be. The shops, for the most part, has been a major destination among newcomers. However, there have been some looking for a residence within the village, seeking a safe haven from the world and the dangers of wandering around the smaller villages.

One instance follows:

"Welcome to Hoshigakure." Shiro smiles to the three shop keepers rolling their large cart down the road once they reach the gates. "Can I help you get to where you need to go? Is there any place specific you're looking to be here in the village?"

"Yes, actually. If you would, point us towards the city square." One, requests. "We had heard of the shops here, that the people know good stands when they see them."

"Well, you heard correct." Shiro moves away from the gate pillar and walks nearer to the three shop keepers. Pointing down the road leading into the village, he begins to direct them. "If you just keep moving straight ahead and then make a right at the third apartment, you should be on your way to the city square. Right down the road, you'll see all of the other shops. I'm sure that you'll find a spot to set up there. Also, you're in luck by coming here near the evening. More civilians shop when the stars show."

Three shuriken soar through the air in the direction of the three shopkeepers. Standing adjacent to the civilians, Shiro sees them out of the corner of his eye. So as to protect the three innocent men, he side steps and gets behind them, quickly unsheathing his katana which is horizontal along his lower back. His right hand is on the handle of the sword and his left holds the scabbard. In this position, he holds the sword backhand. Without removing the sword completely from his scabbard, the metal blade blocks the three shuriken, Shiro moving it to meet each of the projectiles. They fly at a speed of 80 and have a sharpness of 50 so they are within Shiro's reaction time and his blade is able to repel the shuriken without damage, his katana having a health of 50.

The shopkeeper's faces are painted in in fear. Shiro looks at them, grinning so as to ease them.

"You three go ahead. And don't worry. That attack was nothing. Not a scratch." He turns towards the source of the shuriken and places his sword back into the scabbard. Behind him, he hears the cart rolling away with haste. Within time, the travelers are out of sight.

This missing ninja wears a dark brown long robe with long sleeves. Under the cloth, he has long black flowing pants on top of brown ninja sandals. He is shirtless besides the robe.

The enemy sighs reaching into his ninja pouch again. Shiro is put on guard by the sudden movement and begins to walk forward, lifting his hands forward. His right palm rests over the back of his left hand. Ten bone bullets fly from his fingertips, flying at a speed of 40 and having an impact force of 40. They quickly close the seven meter distance between the mission ninja and Shiro.

Without much effort, the target ducks to the ground and begins dashing towards Shiro at a speed of 20 with a kunai in his right hand.

"I wanted to have a nice and easy heist today but it looks like that won't happen. Thanks to you, I need to hunt down those goods again." He says, reaching Shiro and rising with a slash at his throat.

Shiro dashes backward at a speed of 30. Stopping himself, he grabs the handle of his katana once more, removing it completely and flipping it so that he no longer holds it backhand. As an attack, Shiro body flickers at a speed of 130 so that he ends up to his left and speeds a leaf whirlwind to the back of his target's neck with a strength of 62. The missing ninja dives forward from the impact force.

Missing-Nin's Stats:

The missing ninja rises from the grass. His hands curl in the grass, grabbing blades of it in his fists. They are plucked from the ground and crushed by his fingers. Standing up, he turns to face Shiro, who stands seven meters away from him, the katana in his hand still at the ready.

"I'm sorry," Shiro begins to address the enemy. "But I'm going to have to send you away."

"You aren't sending sh*t away! If anything is leaving, it's your soul! Enjoy the afterlife!"

His hands form the bird seal and his chakra surges as four sections of compressed air in the shape of three inch wide orbs fly towards Shiro with a speed of 25. Each is avoided, missing their intended target, and Shiro charges at his opponent with a speed of 30. His sword slashes into the missing ninja's side, slicing through the fabric easily. Shiro ends up three meters behind the staggering ninja and replaces the sword into his scabbard.

"I didn't cut deep enough to kill you. If you want to keep on living, leave." Shiro turns to the missing ninja. "And do me a favor. Try not to come back."
