I COULD EAT THE WORLD RAW

The smell of fried food was so distinct and overpowering as the pair entered the kitchen that Daichi felt hungry… for a fraction of a moment, until his appetite was quickly aborted by the oil, cheap and greasy. His stomach turned, but he focused on the task at hand. He thought they might make it through without issue, until one of the civilians decided to plant herself in their path: nursing an old wound, no doubt, a great disservice done to her by either an attendee or an employee or both. Daichi felt the sudden absurd urge to apologize, so forceful was this woman’s demeanor, but professionalism won out over politesse—he stayed in character. "Yes, chef,” Daichi said, pitching his natural baritone into a lower, comfortable bass, the barest slant of sarcasm creeping into his tone. He held Toru by the upper arm tightly enough to make the song-and-dance convincing, and tugged him out of the kitchen and into the back rooms—though his knuckles and palm ached with the effort of gripping the Mizukage’s bicep, solid and tough as diamonds. He kept up the charade until they were a good distance away from the kitchen, and then he let Toru go, his brow creasing into a frown that did not suit his transformed face—an unspoken apology for being so rough. At the cost of losing his more general awareness of what was happening on the dance floor, Daichi took a moment to hone in on the peculiar chakra signature they were investigating, and was baffled to sense excitement, of all things. He relayed this to Toru, his mounting curiosity and confusion plain on his face… but he let that focus go, too wary of potential intruders coming from the dance floor to sacrifice his awareness of it. "Just a little further this way,” he said quietly. "How do you want to approach? It’s still a pretty minor signature, that hasn’t changed, but there’s something weird about it. Doesn’t feel right.”

The clone paused in dancing when the man popped out of nowhere and cracked the extremely bad pick-up line at it. It tilted his head for a moment.

"But isn't a work of art meant to be viewed?" 'She' responded soon after, dancing again wavering back and forth a bit rather casually, taking a step this way and a step that way. Still looking at the man who had approached, it would certainly help in making sure the disguise appeared a little more real.

Though the clone did immediately notice that the man with all of the guards moved towards the back and somewhere else... There was someone else too.

That was no good, if those two were the main adversaries, they were in too public of a space... They would have to pull off a true assassination to avoid civilian casualties.

--

Toru meanwhile remained safely planted right behind Daichi, never overtaking the 'bouncers' step. Still slightly resistant as he was dragged by the upper arm. The smell of fried food was overwhelming and attributed slightly to a green look when the cook approached.

Once they were through Toru's arm dropped pretty unceremoniously down by his side. He considered their moves when Daichi relayed more information, Toru going through a lot less of feelings and emotions - it seemed - than Daichi himself about what was happening.

"You stay the way you are. If anything you'll be able to use your disguise. We should use a quiet approach. Take out as many adversaries as we can without stirring a fuss. I don't want the civilians to start panicking or rushing out of the club."

And if they still had the crowd to hide in, that would be ideal...

So, Toru took the lead now moving forward but letting Daichi point him in the right direction until he was able to pinpoint the exact scent he was following... Then and ONLY then would Toru take the true lead to investigate. But with silent killing in his arsenal, this insured that he made not a single noise wandering.

The "bouncer's" laconic but almost sarcastic response had made the chef's frown deepen more slightly, but she had figured that his smart mouth was not her concern, and she had better things to do with her time than waste it on the ruffian. Thus the two shinobi had been able to successfully move into the backrooms of the establishment, their identities and purposes as of yet undisclosed. Under Daichi's leading, Toru did not take long to pick the distinct smell of peonies coming from the room that the Yamaguchi had indicated. The room was silent, though; it seemed there was no activity going on in there. But the observation that the denizen of the room was excited was enough proof that whoever they were, they were awake, and possibly alert. In any case, Daichi did not sense any indication that they had been detected in any way.

Meanwhile, the man on the dance floor seemed hopeful, because his trashy pick-up line had not been met with disdain or hostility of any kind. There was still hope for him, he thought. "Most certainly, gorgeous," he answered, the slight slur in his voice indicative of the fact that there was some influence of alcohol here, "works of art are to be viewed. I'd be glad to enjoy the view all night." While he made his passes, the clone would be able to see that the screened off areas were being guarded by three bouncers. The way they stood, it seemed they were waiting for something, perhaps for a discussion to come to a close.

Guilt sparked in Daichi’s chest as the chef frowned, but she didn’t make a fuss, and they went on their way without issue. He tried to tamp it down: being rude to her now would, hopefully, ensure her safety later. Not having to fight their way through the kitchen meant that she would go home with something to rant about to her partner, instead of going to the hospital with a concussion. As directed, Daichi maintained his transformation technique, but he also took a moment to weave the handseals needed to stretch a thin layer of chakra over his skin: barrier armor, as it seemed that conflict would be shortly forthcoming. Finally, before Toru took the lead, Daichi made a soft request for him to wait a moment, and prepared a genjutsu intolerance seal, carefully applied to Toru’s forehead. Preparations in place, Daichi helped Toru identify the exact scent he was tracking, then fell a step behind the Mizukage as he took the lead. Daichi wasn’t nearly as utterly silent as Toru, but he took his pace careful and slow, being mindful of his surroundings and his steps in order to remain as quiet as possible. Anticipation coiled in his gut, his sensory awareness razor-sharp as he steeled his mind to whatever lay ahead.

RANK: C
TECH TYPE: univeral | Ninjutsu

CHAKRA USAGE: High/ Very Low to maintain
DESCRIPTION:

The user creates a small barrier on the very outside of their skin. While this barrier is not anywhere near as resilient as other barriers because of how stretched thin it is, a normal punch being able to break it, it does protect the user from the brunt of all but the most serious attacks. Its effectiveness comes from the fact that it requires no chakra to maintain and is self repairing. However while repairing it is no longer effective and requires two whole post for the armor to becoming functional again after being hit with anything resembling an actual attack, though being hit with things that would not truly count as an attack would not break it. Requires two hand seals.

NAME: Futaishō Shīru [Genjutsu Intolerance Seal]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 3
DESCRIPTION:

This Seal requires 3 hand signs to perform and must be applied to the head of the target/person in question. Once in place the seal links itself directly to the persons mind and sustains itself by altering the flow of chakra to go through it. The seal activates if any foreign chakra or influence affects the chakra around the brain causing the person in question to suffer a shot lived if not inconsiderable jolt of pain by shocking nearby nerves. This seal serves as an effective means to inform the individual if he is under a genjutsu and can dispel genjutsu techniques by means of the moderate pain it causes. This seal must be placed on a person prior to a genjutsu attack to be effective and thus is of limited use once battle commences. It does not cost any chakra to maintain due to the seal being largely dormant most of the time.

Toru moved right up to where their target was supposed to be, the scent carrying him easily and silently towards the room. Whether the door was open or not mattered. If it was closed they would need to find a way inside without alerting their target, if it was open... Toru would pause before going to press up against the wall next to it, and motioning for Daichi to go ahead. It was a silent communication that he hoped Daichi would understand, as the bouncer ask whoever it was to come check on something, anything... To get him to move out of the room where Toru would be waiting to grab and assassinate silently with the swift twist of the neck.

---

"Say," The clone started having done its best to watch what was going on with the three bouncers and the screened wall.

"I'll let you do a lot more than just view if you can get the attention of those big three guys over there..."

The clone smiled, looking towards the drunk slurring man hoping that his very drunk mind would not think through any kind of reason and have him wandering over somewhere else to try and get the bouncers to pay attention to him. That way the clone could get its chance to try and move through the crowd past the distracted defense and towards the screened area. If the distraction even worked of course, but in that case the clone would be utilizing a series of basic abilities like blending in with the crowd to try and get an idea of what was happening behind the screen. Any words, distances, if he could even slip behind it to get a closer listen or know what to do next.

[Ronin]

The door to the room of interest was almost closed, but just barely ajar, if observed closely, and Daichi would be able to tell, thanks to his razor-sharp sensory faculties, that whoever was within the room was facing the door, although being a little distance from it, such that trying to whip the door open and make an attack would not be as effective as if the inhabitant of the room were closer.

The way the room was positioned, there was enough space for Toru to hide, but there was a little complication. Toru would have to hide behind the door, but it opened outwards, which meant that even though the door would provide a perfect hiding place, it would also serve as an obstruction to get to his target, unless Daichi led them well out of the room. As of yet, the Kiri nin didn't know who was on the other side of the door, so some quick thinking would need to be done to create a good story worthy of attention, if the person in the room was not, for some reason, inclined to come out.

Meanwhile, as the clone made an offer to the inebriated man, a toothy grin split his face. Alcohol was an amazing encourager; it gave one unnecessary nerve when they would have thought thrice or nine times about what they were supposed to do, in less addled mental conditions. "Well, when a beauty such as yourself puts it that way, a man's gotta try something, yeah?" Said man was most likely a confusticated buffoon, who was probably not going to have an easy night, but yeah. Grabbing a drink from a nearby table, he swaggered over to where the three bouncers stood silent, and seemed to be saying something to them. They ignored him until he attempted to balance the drink cup on one of their heads. The bouncer pushed him, with the other two slowly rounding on him.

The clone would see many opportunities to get close to the screened area; as a matter of fact, the most tempting was the chance to slip past the bouncers and behind the screen. With the look of things, there seemed to be more than one screen set up, and so as long as no one was walking in or out of the screened area, the clone would probably be able to get some good eavesdropping going. The most visible problem was if someone decided to go in or out of the screened area. Choices.

[yamaguchi daichi]

The immediate dilemma was clear: Toru’s hiding place was an excellent one, but the sightline from behind the door once it swung open would be narrow. For Toru to get easy access to their target, Daichi would need to lead them well out of the room—but establishing appropriate bait would be difficult when he didn’t actually know who lay within. He had his suspicions, but without concrete evidence or knowledge of what was going on out on the dance floor, he really couldn’t be sure. Any kind of physical diversion ran the risk of attracting the attention of those who remained in the kitchen, which Daichi intended to avoid at all costs. He needed to get this person’s attention discreetly, but make the need urgent enough that they would come out and follow him without causing a scene. After a moment’s consideration Daichi nodded in acknowledgement to Toru, then sharply knocked on the cracked-open door. "Hey, sorry to interrupt,” he called within, still maintaining that gruff, lower-pitched tone that suited his transformation technique. "Got a couple a guys giving the head chef some issues. I think they might be shinobi or something, one of ‘ems got a headband. They wanted to come into the back but chef told ‘em no and now they’re getting nasty, makin’ threats ‘n shit. Just need some backup for a minute.” Stomach twisting with anticipation, Daichi nudged the door open with his foot, turning back towards the kitchen and holding the door open as if to politely leave the path open for the person within to come out. He was careful to position himself squarely next to the door, so that Toru could emerge without interruption the moment the target made themself visible.

Toru was careful to position himself appropriately waiting quietly as Daichi set the distraction and attempt to lure the individual out in motion. If it worked Toru would have a direct line to grab at the man and slice his throat from behind, a hand over his mouth to avoid any audible grunts. If not, Toru would have to wait for the perfect moment to pounce, and he was patient. His silent killing training was more than enough to keep him almost invisible where he stood, his breathing wasn't even audible as he waited...

Again, assuming it was not a direct line to slicing the man's throat quickly.

--

The clone used the inebriated man and quickly moved behind the bouncers towards the screen. There seemed to be two screens. The clone would use its originals training in silent killing too. Sticking itself literally between the two screens and squatting down. This would easily allow for some eavesdropping and by squatting he could make sure that he wouldn't be immediately noticed if someone passed by as he seemed to blend in with his environment.

Now, if he did get noticed he would likely just act like a semi-passed out drunk girl and hope that would be enough. But for now, he listened and smelled trying to get a good read on how many people in total were behind the last screen.

OWL

[Ronin]

The clone was able to get between the screens, absolutely unnoticed by anyone on the dance floor, or in the vicinity in general. From this vantage position, the voices of two people discussing could be heard. It sounded like one of them was offended, but not enough to be fully angry. There were a number of scents in the air, and one scent stood out against the others; it seemed to belong to the linchpin behind all this, the one whom the Kiri ninja had been employed to put down. From the positions of the scents, he was not the offended one. Instead, although his voice was rather confident, there was a soothing, placatory aspect to it. he was telling the angry person that discussions were better in more private quarters, and that the 'goods' were stashed there as well. It seemed he was trying convince the other person to come with him. Where the private quarters were was anybody's guess.

Meanwhile, there was an apprehensive pause that Daichi could easily feel when he knocked on the door. He would sense fear in whoever was inside the room. As he let out the bait, there was a loud groan of frustration. "Kami-sama! Can't anything go right?! And why does everyone only bother me when there's problems to solve?" It was the voice of a woman; from the tone of it, probably a young adult at the oldest. A short girl with bright red hair pushed the door partially open and gave the disguised Daichi a stare half-reproaching and half-pitiable. "You people should have a little mercy on me. You do know that if those ninja decided to cause trouble, you'd fare better against them than me, right?"

Unheeding of the danger behind the door, she stepped out of the relative safety of the room, to see to the supposed commotion.

The clone remained put, listening and taking in all the information that he could. Jaw tightening briefly at the new bit of information that had come about having the drugs elsewhere or needing to go somewhere private. If there was some manner by which he could follow. A small destructive blast could take out both of the individuals without harming the partygoers but it was too risky to do that right now, especially since the mission was meant to be more quiet.

The clone stayed in place for now valuing information over action currently, as making itself known right now could compromise the mission entirely. It was best to stay still, listen, take up scents, and wait. If the group behind the screen moved, it would be an indication to perhaps also move. But not yet.

--

It was perhaps a bit surprising that there was a woman behind the door, but Toru did not move or show signs of surprise. He just remained still, waiting in total silence. His stomach heavy with lead and apprehension. This needed to be done right, or risk the operation...

The moment the woman stepped out and moved a little bit past Toru the dressed up leader grabbed onto her. Palm flat and hard over her mouth to stifle any attempts to call out for help. His other arm would wrap around her body to keep her moderately still and immobilized as something sharp would run itself up and directly through her body. It would jut out through her chest with the intention to kill on impact. A bit of blood, yes, but nothing they couldn't handle.

Daichi’s heart sank into his gut as the target’s excitement soured into fear, and then a bright mop of red hair appeared in his line of sight. Perhaps it was wrong of him to assume so, but he felt fairly certain that a young woman barely older than Toru and himself was not the mastermind behind this operation. What he has suspected was some kind of elaborate ruse turned out to just be the simple truth: she was probably just a civilian on her lunch break, and whatever her role within this establishment was, she probably didn’t deserve to die for it. But it was already too late. There was no way he could think of to signal Toru without giving the girl an opportunity to raise the alarm, and letting her go would only endanger the innocent partygoers in the rest of the club. He followed through with the plan, luring her out into the open and looking on with a grim expression as Toru slipped up behind her and stabbed her cleanly through the chest. It was something beautiful, seeing Toru in action; Daichi only wished that it could have transpired differently. "I don’t think that’s our target,” Daichi said, once the girl had been dealt with. He took out a large scroll, unfurling it and sealing the corpse—assuming she had died cleanly—within. No evidence except for a couple of drops of blood, and he could respectfully deal with the body later. "Can you get any information from your clone?” He stretched his sensory awareness as much as he was humanly able, straining to focus in on Toru’s clone on the other end of the club, and pinpoint the signatures it was nearby, trying to glean any information that he could from where they were.

As the girl stepped out of the room, she felt hands grab her; one clamping over her mouth and denying her the ability to scream, while the other restrained her body. She only had a moment to turn and look at the disguised Daichi in alarm, before she felt something pierce through her chest. Involuntarily, she coughed, blood trying to escape from her mouth, although the Mizukage's hand prevented much of that from happening. His hand would be stained, though the blood was not his own.

A single tear flowed, even as her life dissipated like a ribbon of smoke on a windy day. There was the sound of a choking sob, and then a sigh, and the body was still forever. The back room was now unoccupied, and the two shinobi could investigate it if they desired. If they chose to examine the room, they would see that the low table at which the redhead had been sitting held a tea set with the kettle on a portable stove full of tea. Also on the table was an open book. From the looks of it, it was a ledger, with numbers and dates filled in. There were also two closed crates positioned close to the wall. They smelt like chalk powder, but Toru would smell something else beyond the wall at which the two crates stood. Something that smelt very narcotic. Further investigation would reveal a lever hidden beneath the low table. If handled, the wall near the crates would slide aside to reveal more crates, loaded with hard drugs, definitely contraband stuff.

Daichi's use of the clone as a sort of point around which to sense chakra yielded results. He would be able to sense eight chakra signatures, and what was definitely the signature of the overlord. Toru's clone was certainly in the vicinity of the overlord. Meanwhile, the clone would be able to hear that the argument was winding down, and it seemed like the people behind the screen were beginning to move. Most likely to the more private quarters that had been mentioned before. If the clone remained in position, they would see it as they came out from behind the screens.

There was some sense of empathy at least for someone of normal morals, for a shinobi those morals were often dulled. Toru did not enjoy killing anymore than any other mentally sound person but he felt it was so much part of his occupation that he did not feel much in the way of emotion for what he was doing. The girl had some kind of chakra signature, enough to have been noticed by Daichi, that had meant she was not *just* a civilian and might have proved to be a problem for them later. It was best that they remove her from the equation entirely.

Plus now without her they could inspect the room.

"If I dissipate it I can," Toru responded quietly to Daichi as he sealed the corpse away. But he didn't want to dissipate the clone yet, especially if a fight came they would need extra hands. For now the leader moved into the room, inspecting it carefully. He looked over the ledger, handling it carefully, turning a few pages to see if he could combine any clues.

There were crates too, and beyond them Toru could smell something more. He put down the ledger and wandered over to the wall his hand flat against it running over the wood over and over again considering what to do, he could put a hole in the wall but that wouldn't do much - perhaps Daichi would find the lever in the meantime for them to view the contraband beyond.

---

The clone listened until said clone realized that the foot steps were coming closer and with a bit of silent moving around the clone pulled away from the screens and went back stumbling a bit towards where all the partying was going on to avoid being spotted or seen... Nonetheless the clone *would* be keeping an eye out for those that were exiting from behind the screens, perhaps he (or she rather) could follow them once their direction was made more clear.

OWL

[yamaguchi daichi]

Daichi exhaled, a slow sigh, and nodded in acknowledgement of what Toru said. Dissipating the clone at an inopportune time would give up the game immediately; at the same time, it felt like they were back to square one, with little and less to show for their efforts. He followed Toru into the room, taking the opposite end of what Toru was inspecting. Activating his vitality detection to cover all his bases, he was extremely thorough, running his hand over the walls, checking for loose floor panels and under every ledge and surface that remained in the room. Eventually as he moved from the side of the room to the center, he checked beneath the table and his fingers hit the lever. For a moment Daichi hesitated; there was no way of knowing what it did. There was a chance, he thought, that this was part of a security system, and that flipping it would set off a series of alarms. But how likely would that be? Surely if such a system were in place there would be greater mechanical complexity to it, or some kind of inherent chakra flow; to his eyes and sensory, there was neither. He flipped it; flinched at the sound of the wall sliding, hands flying through the necessary seals to throw up a protective barrier wall in front of Toru. But it seemed no trap lay in wait, and his paranoia was unwarranted; instead he was looking at a veritable treasure trove of drugs. "... are we confiscating this?” Daichi asked quietly. He’d likely be able to get most of it away into scrolls, but he wondered if it was worth the time. With the leader still in play, a loss of product wasn’t likely to do much in the long run.

The clone of the Mizukage would observe, from the relative anonymity of the poorly lit dancefloor, that a group of people walked out of the area behind the screens, which the clone had been eavesdropping on just moments before. There were eight of them in number, but two stopped at the entrance to the meeting place behind the screens, in order to ward off anyone who maybe tried to wander there. The remaining six promptly marched off the dancefloor, heading towards the interior of the establishment by taking exactly the same route which the clone had emerged onto the dance floor from.

Of the six, four were most likely hired muscle, judging by their general looks and relatively more simple apparel... and the fact that, even though their arms were free, a trained eye could easily see that there were weapons concealed in their clothes. One of the other two was a woman probably in her fifties, clad all in black, and clutching a black attaché case. The last, from his swagger and flamboyant clothes, was most certainly the kingpin of this establishment. As they walked off the dance floor area, the four guards looked around them to make sure they weren't being looked at too long, before the group headed into the corridor leading towards the back area wherein the Kiri ninja were.

Both ninja, one by scent and the other by chakra sense, would definitely be aware that the group was heading in their direction, likely coming for the room in which they presently stood. What they would do next was up to them, but they probably had just a little under a minute before the group arrived in the backroom where they were.
