Those Bastards! (IO)(Ibari)(Hunter)

mission :

This was a damnable act, Shin thought. He was reading the mission at his residence he had been assigned with his Sensei, Ibari. The mission was an A rank rescue mission. Someone had abducted a 10-year-old girl child from the village, presumably for the human trafficking business. The mother was will to pay anything to get her child back. He grinned his teeth and clutched the report aggressively before setting it aside. Shin was furious that someone would do something so horrible. Quickly dressing up in his chunin flak and weapon pouch, he would head for the gates without hesitation to wait for his Master to arrive. 

The morning sun was harsh, with no breeze to cool the village down. At the Cleft, the guards posted there were dressed in regular protective gear and sweating in the heat. Shin didn't have time to sweat like he had a choice in the matter, he was too busy thinking of how he was going to Rasengan this jerk's knee caps off.

"Another day, Another mission huh," The voice thought to themselves as they finished combing their hair. Looking in the mirror the flowing dark brown locks began to really suit his features. As he continued to delve deeper into his usage of his Jugo bloodline, Ibari found that he could adjust simple things here and there about his body. Nothing too outrageous but instead of that more childlike appearance that he kept, he was now somewhat more mature. Almost even easy looking for the eyes. Grabbing his new white jacket he would slowly slide it on and begin to head out toward the mission destination. He wasn't sure who he was assigned this mission with, but with his team going through a slight adjustment period this would be a good relaxer to get the edge off. Making sure he had everything he needed before hand, the male began in a small sprint from his apartment to the cleft gates in a reasonable amount of time stopping just before he reached the guards and gave them a small nod.

They would have known about his ANBU status at least but as per protocol they treated him like a regular jounin. Showing his documentation and mission request, they would have notified him of another male waiting just over yonder for him. A small nod was given before he turned and noticed who the person had been. Shin. One of his students. Well today was certainly turning out to be interesting indeed. Walking over toward the male he would give a small wave as he reached a meter from him," Didn't expect to see you on a mission like this Shin. How have yo been?," the smooth voice would have came out slowly. Of course he would give a chuckle if his student had been confused about his identity, he did look different after all. Giving a two finger salute he would reveal himself as he began to walk," If you don't know who I am...Think of who your sensei is. Now let us be off for we have a child to return home," with that he would turn his head and begin to head out. As a precaution he made the single seal needed for Mind's eye to keep an eye on their surroundings.

Shin was snapped out of his rage for a moment when he heard a familiar voice. However, when he turned to it, he didn't recognize the person. But this person knew him after he called him out by name. "Hey," Shin replied trying to sound happy. "Do I...?" he didn't even finish his question before the jonin laughed and gave him a "hint". "Think who your sensei is," Shin instantly connected the dots. He was going to be doing this mission with his sensei, Ibari. Shin was able to actually smile knowing that he would be fighting with his sensei. "I'm glad you're coming along! I was worried for a moment that I would have to work with someone entirely new." Shin and Ibari have already had missions together as guards for the very rich man. "You're right." He would slam his fist into his palm and crack his knuckle. "Let take down these bastards." 

The two shinobi would head off outside the gates, Ibari using Mind's eye to look around the area for any sign of a threat. The two-man team would have to cover a widespread area in the open desert. So it would set them away from the village gates. However, the trail couldn't have led off too far, this mission was still fresh and the duo would have enough time to catch up to the perpetrators. Shin's blood pumped with excitement to take these kidnappers down.

(Requesting an NPC for hunter mission)

Your NPC:

Quite a bit of time had passed since Hugo successfully made it out of the village going by the name of Sunagakure. Time the Hyuuga should have used to get away even further than he already had after retrieving what was needed, if only it wasn't for his damned paranoia that caused the man to stay in the area for a bit longer. He simply wanted to make sure he wasn't being followed by anyone. If someone were to ask why and what he was doing in the middle of a desert and about a hundred meters outside of the village the answer wouldn't be so simple. 

The people who hired him told him about a certain package that they wanted Hugo to get and deliver to them. What he didn't expect was the fact this "package" wasn't just a package. And he surely didn't think whatever it was that he needed to bring wasn't an "it" but a "who". That's right, the idiot didn't do his research which caused him to end up kidnapping a young girl. Hugo could already hear their comments when he'd complain about leaving a crucial part of information out of it. Anyway, it wasn't like he could turn back time and act as if nothing happened. Fact of the matter was that the Hyuuga did indeed kidnap a child. It all happened so fast. In a moment of panicking, not knowing what to do, Hugo grabbed the young girl and quickly made his way out of the village.

The whole time he had suppressed his chakra, which probably allowed him to leave without being noticed. And now he was the one being kept hostage. Not by a person, but his paranoia. Everyone but him would keep running, not turn and look around every five seconds to make sure they weren't followed, but not Hugo. Noooo, this dumb Hyuuga decided to sit his ass on a big fucking rock in the middle of the desert all the while keeping an eye on the village gates.

With the enhanced vision granted to him by his Byakugan, the dark haired individual made sure to keep an eye on everything that was going on at the village gates of Sunagakure. About hundred meters between him and the gates. "Why didn't I just keep running" he cursed upon noticing the appearance of two Sand shinobi coming out of the gates. From what he could make out of it, both of them were rather jovial around each other, a sign they were probably confident in bringing the young child back. 

The moment both Sunagakure shinobi set foot out of the village and past the gates, Hugo climbed down the rock that was two meters high and two meters wide. The man had already taken some precautions, one of them could be found in the fact he was alone. In case he got captured he had decided to hide the girl somewhere in the area. By doing so, Hugo would at least have some leeway or means of negotiating in case he was unable to get away. Hidden behind the boulder, similar to a couple of others in the surrounding area as could be expected from a desert. His dojutsu active, allowing him to see through the rock and have view on the ones who were eventually going to make their way over. Keeping his chakra suppressed and his Byakugan active at all times, the Hyuuga kept watch, waiting til the two shinobi were well in reach before he would act.

Actions taken:

As soon as the pair exited the village, he noticed a man sitting on top of a large rock about a hundred meters away-making his features still noticeable. Once they noticed each other, the man would escape behind the rock. That's suspicions. Shin thought objectively. He figured some people would have seen the girl, so he would ask this man if they had seen her.  The younger shinobi glared his eyes at the rock. "I think that man might know something." Shin wouldn't waste time and his body flickered on the rock a hundred meters away from him.

Shin sat on top of the rock, two meters high, and sat close to the edge- a meter away from the edge. He looked at the man and noticed that he was alone. Shin didn't have a Byuakugan to notice that the girl was just being hidden behind a large sandstone rock behind the one they were on. "Excuse me, sir!" Shin shouted although they were only two meters apart, with the man being a the bottom of the rock. "I couldn't help but notice that you quickly ran as soon as you saw us..." Shin paused for a moment, looking at the man for his reaction. Shin then pulled out a piece of paper with the girl's face on it which he got from the debriefing the mission. "Have you seen this girl? She would be accompanied by someone." He waited for the man's response.

For now Ibari had not seen anything via his mind's eye of the Kagura but then again they were just out of the gate so he didn't have the time to widen its search but now that they were out he would bring one of his hands up to make the seal of confrontation and stretch his senses to the limit of 100 meters. With his enhanced sight he could pick up one suppressed signature and another, barely trained. He deduced that this could have been the two he had been searching for but nothing was certain. What was certain is that this could go south or it can further south. He could see that Shin would take the route of going toward the mysterious man and Ibari wasn't going to let him walk into a trap. Grabbing the collar of his student he would pull him 5 meters away from the male with his right hand while keeping his left in a position to defend if the need arose. Keeping his usual stoic expression he would address the male," Excuse me sir. It seems like we are in a bit of a predicament. We are looking for a little girl that has been taken from her home, have you seen her? This might be a little troubling but can you maybe...disclose to me whom is behind that boulder there?," of course he would not play his full hand but he would be able to see if the male was lying or not. What came next of course was up to the male, and if things got violent...well his student could handle it.

For now he would release Shin and make sure they were ready for a battle as well. This wasn't a test for himself...more like an observation of his students skills as a shinobi. Now the ball was in the other shinobi's court.

With a tool he'd like to call his lilac eyes, Hugo's Byakugan was able to pick up on the two shinobi's actions. The youngest out of the bunch, most likely the less experienced one, seemed eager to prove himself to his senior, informing the man of Hugo's position before forming the hand seal belonging to one of the most well known techniques even academy students and fresh out of the academy Genin would know. The Body Flicker. It wasn't exactly rocket science to figure out what the young boy planned on doing, even more so considering that specific jutsu mainly had one or two uses. Either close or increase a gap between one another. And given the fact they were looking for the young girl it was obvious which one Shin picked.

Closing the distance between them in a blink of an eye, the Sunagakure shinobi appeared in front of him. The Hyuuga, completely unphased due to the favorable position he was in with the boy standing on a rock, decided to merely wait and keep up his act for now. The thought of eliminating the threat that was 2 meters in front of him did cross his mind, but that would only result in him being chased once more. So instead he decided to wait, assuming the other shinobi would show up as well to keep an eye on his subordinate. If playing his cards right, Hugo would be able to hit two birds with one stone. "Apologies, I didn't mean to ignore you. I'm simply a man of old fashion who prefers to wait til everyone is here. I'm sure you wouldn't want your senior getting angry at you, would you?" With a smile on his face Hugo waited til the other man had shown up, grabbing the boy's collar to reposition them roughly 5 to 7 meters away from each other.

Hugo simply listened to the man explaining the situation, slightly surprised he was able to pick up on another individual present in their surroundings but not enough for the Hyuuga to break character. It only meant that Ibari also possessed some type of sensory skills, a quick deduction going of the fact the man didn't seem to share the same lilac eyes as the rogue did. "Ah, of course, of course, no need to apologize. I was told to pick up a young girl, from what they explained to me it seemed it had been awhile since the fater was able to see his daughter. Considering my position and in need of money I chose not to question it any further and to believe what they were saying. But, feel free to take a look for yourself to see if my story checks out". For now Hugo played his part, he saw no need to lie or try making his way out that soon. 

The rogue would wait and see what the two shinobi decided on doing next. Of course it came without question that in case he picked up on the slightest hostile behavior towards his own person, before or after having finished talking, Hugo would act accordingly, keeping his hands free at all times, the distance between them neither an advantage nor disadvantage.

Actions taken:

The man seemed unfazed by Shin's abrupt nature; not moving when Shin appeared out of the blue. The man strangely apologized, saying that he was the type of guy "who prefers to wait til everyone is here." He was referring to Shin's sensei -Ibari- who, when he arrived, grabbed Shin and put some distance between him and the stranger. "Hey! What are you doing? I was ques-" Ibari would take control and start to ask the questions, revealing some information that Shin was unaware of. Ibari had sensed a presence- the presence of the girl- behind a boulder 5 meters away on the right from Ibari and Shin and about 7  meters away from the stranger on his left. This was damning information for the man.

Strangely, when confronted with this the man didn't lie or try to get aggressive, he just explained himself. Hugo explained that he was told to get her for the father, and he was desperate for money so it was only natural. "Well, it's still criminal and evil! No matter how to weave it!" Shin would shout back angrily to the man- getting very tired of this man trying to humanize himself and get some sympathy out of them. 

But, Shin believed him and took him up on his offer for him to check it out for himself. Shin would create a Shadow clone, if undisturbed, that would spawn 2 meters from Shin on the right. The clone would keep a minimum of 5-meter distance from the stranger as he traveled to a boulder only 3 meters away- making sure to keep an eye on the man while doing so. Meanwhile, the original prepared to either rush to the aid of the girl or to defend himself- he didn't have to worry about 

Of course, the clone would find the girl all bound up behind the boulder, looking at Shin with pleading eyes. Shin's clone would give Ibari and his original the thumbs up, signaling he was right."You're under arrest for kidnapping. I hear they treat child kidnappers nicely in prison," Shin would mention devilishly. If all went according to plan, Shin's clone would unbind the girl, allow for her to get up herself. Shin, the original would then make his way over to the girl, maintaining a minimum distance of 5 meters from Hugo and leading her over to the village where he could return her to her family. The clone, meanwhile, would travel the 7 meters and grab Hugo's wrists and hold them behind the Hyuuga's back-if he continued to do things willingly- and pushing him towards the village where he would be put into Sunagakure custody.

He sat there for a moment watching the display of his student with some mild success. In his mind the mission was a success and through his Sharingan and mind's eye he would keep watch since Shin had this in the bag. With the girl secured, Ibari would move to subdue the male and walk him back to the village for interrogation or whatever they were going to do to him.
