Pretending to be What I Once Was

Mission Info:

Hasumi and her brother were doing missions together again, much to the young kunoichi's excitement. Though Isamu hadn't joined Tsukigakure yet he seemed to be trying to establish himself as an ally, which Hasumi appreciated greatly. She hoped her brother would end up joining the village, as Hasu thought Junko was great and deserved the support of people like him. She was actually rather upset that Isamu was so loyal to their creator, 'Takehiko'. After spending time with Junko Hasumi had truly come to understand how lame and annoying that masked weirdo was, and though she did still ask him questions through their telepathic bond she thought she might be happy if she never had to deal with him again.

Hasu was a bit nervous about the mission she had to do with Isamu that day, apparently the client was a man who didn't trust the fledgling villages shinobi and instead wanted to employ mercenaries to protect his establishment. While this wasn't an issue for Isamu Hasumi felt nervous about going on a mission without her headband. Realizing that her face was likely recognizable too, she opted to grab a scarf and wrapped it around her head so that only her bright blue eyes were visible. She also dawned a pair of black well fitted pants and a baggy sweatshirt, hoping the slight change in attire would also make her less recognizable.

Leaving Junko's house Hasumi headed toward the city market, looking for a store that had been robbed recently. Making her way toward it, she informed the man she was one of the mercenaries he had hired and that she'd be working with the samurai Isamu to make sure no one caused him any problems. The shop keeper seemed a bit suspicious of Hasu at first, especially given her short stature, but as the day went on she began to win him over by convincing him that she was simply Isamu's medic who had a bit of training in ninjutsu.

Fortunately the day was uneventful, whether because of the number of guards or not Hasu didn't know. She hoped that her and Isamu's presence had done something to keep the shop keeper safe, but she also supposed that if the robbers simply hadn't planned on returning that it was just as well. Hasu considered trying to convince the man that the village ninja were trustworthy but figured that would only risk blowing her cover.

As the day came to an end and the man went to close up shop Hasu collected her payment, surpised to find it was double what the man had initially offered. The shopkeeper told her to take care of herself and to try and find a place to settle down instead of continue with the mercenary life.  Hasumi thanked the man for his advice but assured him that she would be alright, thanking him for the extra money as she left alongside her brother. She felt bad for deceiving the man, especially given that she had become a village ninja and settled down in Tsukigakure, but she knew it would be unwise to tell him that.

Isamu found no issues with the current mission he was doing, assigned to it via his alliance with Junko and through his sister Hasumi. Being a mercenary himself he helped provide them with extra credibility to their cover, and thus was a natural choice as an assistant to the mission. Dressed in his samurai armor Isamu easily impressed the shopkeeper with his garb and the two swords at his hip. His apparent age also seemed to help him in this instance, the shopkeeper impressed to see a samurai having lived to be middle aged. Isamu didn't bother to inform him about his artificial nature and actual age, allowing him to simply think he was an experienced warrior.

Isamu did his best to stay vigilant as they guarded the shop, wondering if he'd have to actually use his swords against robbers instead of chimerafolk like he was used to. The middle aged looking man pondered if he'd have to kill anyone if things came to blows, he'd yet to take a life and the prospect of it had been looming over him for some time now. He felt like the timing was coming that he would soon be forced to take a life or perhaps fall himself, all the violence he'd witnessed and the dark power he'd inflicted on others had led him to believe it was inevitable.

Isamu found himself pondering these dark thoughts for most of the day as they guarded the area, it seemed no robbers or extortionists wanted to approached the shop while it was so well guarded. While Isamu wanted to believe he was intimidating enough to have accomplished this all on his own he he knew that it was likely the other mercenaries that were presernt that had caused the troublemakers to not return.

As the day came to an end Isamu collected his payment, finding it good enough to reflect his skill level. Thanking the man for the work Isamu left the area with his sister. Once they had returned to her residence Isamu laughed at the girl for her poor attempt at a disguise, teasing her for simply wrapping a scarf around her face.

Recently after a shake-down that had occurred at one of the shops the investigative team she had hired to look into things successfully found the thugs behind it. However, the information was yet to leak out to the public, and the owner of the shop that was vandalized refused any aid she offered. He even went as far as hiring mercenaries to protect his property. Thankfully one of her advisors thought of a plan to help the man, but not be as directly involved. Junko immediately approved his mission to be posted and after realizing Hasu accepted, she decided to secretly join her.

She’d pull on normal attire as she walked out of the Kage tower, though she carried a small bag at her side. Once she believed she was alone, she’d change into her disguise. From the bag, she’d pull out her ghost costume and slip it over top of her sun dress. The costumes stopped around the tops of her foot, nearly dragging on the floor behind her. Once that was situated nicely on her body, she’d reach into the bag once more. This time instead she’d pull out what looked to be a pumpkin mask. Placing it over her head, she found it rather difficult to see, so she activated her Ketsuryugan and used the x-ray vision it gave her to navigate to the destination.

Admittedly she looked a bit ominous, or a bit silly depending on the person's perspective. Soon she’d find herself placed on guard duty. Luckily she was able to memorize Takehiko’s chakra signature, so with her dojutsu active, she could easily tell which were her clones. It was then that she noticed that Isamu seemingly had joined her, which she thought was a nice gesture. She was a bit jealous that Takehiko’s clones got along so well, while hers constantly bickered amongst themselves.

She’d remain near them, just in case something should happen. Junko knew that the mission would be uneventful since they had arrested the men who did it earlier that day. Once the shift had been completed she’d trail Hasu and Isamu for a few minutes, ensuring nobody else followed them home. Slipping into an alleyway, Junko would pull off her costume, and stuff it into the bag once more. After adjusting her clothes and hair, she stepped out into the village streets once more and returned back to the tower.
