Team Kaosu's First Mission: Arrival!

Shihouin had wanted to get the mission over ever since they started. Even though he’d changed his mind on leaving the village, he was now set on actually getting back home. Interruptions by the ANBU and general slow activity was bearing down on him. Did they really need to take a break and sleep? The Rice was close to the village, the country for that matter and with one solider pill everyone could have easily made there in great shape. Yet here they were, just barely arriving at the country. Luckily for them, the general direction they were headed allowed them to go straight towards the enemy military stronghold.

Once the stronghold came insight Shi immediately began to analyze the situation. They were about 100 meters away from the stronghold, running at moderate speed. At the rate they were traveling, they would reach 50 meters in about a few minutes. Their mission would simply be basic infiltration and deception. Each genin had enough skills to complete the mission, but what would Kaosu-sensei say? Since Shihouin didn’t know exactly what everyone planned on doing, or even what everyone had on their minds he decided to speak up about it. He lightly cleared his voice and began to speak in a soft, but even tone. “We’ll reach 50 meters in about a minute or so, so we should go over a plan. Honestly, anyone of us could do this, the only reason this mission is B Ranked because it involves battle and is out of the country. The enemy’s advantage lies in numbers, but their weak point is the head of command; which is why we’ve been given the mission to attack the head of command specifically. With my Sharingan I can easily see people standing outside around the stronghold and above on the building.” Shi took a moment for them to accept that fact. “We will probably be within range any watchmen at 50 meters. We can do this one of several ways, but I’ve already thought of the easiest way to do this. With the skills presented in the team and the intel on our information, either me or Kaosu-sensei can make the attack. Ayame, you only have one ninjutsu. It’s a wind technique. As a disadvantage it could hurt us if someone counters that, but as an advantage you also are familiar with some really basic ANBU protocols due to your family. It’s easy for you to take out any of the watchmen. Raizo, you have an animal companion. You’d work best as deception. If you an Ayame tag-team, you and your tiger cub can finish up and silence any trash she misses, or better yet sense what’s coming up from blind spots and head. I, I can get inside but I need time. I can offer the very briefest amount of control with my Sharingan. Since I don’t know much about genjutsu, the control I offer is very little and it can last only for about a minute since these guys are grown. However… This is where you come in Kaosu-sensei, I can follow your orders as you get us into the stronghold. You should use simple genjutsu adapted for stealth. With a basic henge, you and I can go in and lay a simple trap. I can offer support hypnosis since I can use the shadow clone.”

After he’d shed his idea on how everything should go he waited for them to answer. Luckily for them the stronghold had a simple layout, but it wasn’t too easy to breach. A large dojo in the middle of a courtyard, surrounded by a wall at least two stories high. Engaging them in physical combat might not be the best idea. There were tons of guys in the courtyard doing recreational activities, but they were probably prepared to fight on a minutes’ notice. There were at least two guys stationed on each corner of the walls, occasionally out looking into the forest. Shi dipped down to a lower branch, hoping his team would follow as he waited for a response.

Kaosu had all his students following him, as they finally made their way to the base of the bandit thieves. It was a rather small building, in the middle of nowhere. This made it easy for them to get in and out without being caught. In fact this place was rather hard to find, and it took Kaosu and his team several hours to even come close to it. He knew that the three of them were tired of waiting to get this over and done with. Kaosu sent out a few insects to scout the area, before anyone jumped in and attacked. He wanted to make sure that no one was killed that did not need to be. He had to three wait behind him, while his insects scouted the place. It seemed there were several guards before they could get into the building. It also seemed that the chief was underground, which would make this mission a little bit harder, if they were not careful. He had hoped that the three knew what they were up against here. the Chief was likely at a C rank or higher level. He had guards, and some of these could have easily been B rank, in the way of looking at strength. They would probably not have ninjutsu and things along the line a normal ninja would, but they would know how to fight and they would surely fight dirty.

Kaosu looked back at the three and nodded his head at them. They soon got close enough where Kaosu could talk to them in a light whisper. "Alright, there are three of them at the main entrance and three at the back. There are several of them inside the building. The quickest route to the basement is through the back, so we will all take that route. The leader is underground. Remember, he is our main target, I strongly suggest not killing the other men, because these look like hired men." He turned around, to take another look at the house. He knew the three could handle them. "Alright, I want you all to remember two things before we go in there. One, we work as a team. And two, those men and there will not think twice about killing you, so do not let your guard down, no matter what." Kaosu took out his blade and was ready for battle. He looked back at the three and smiled at them. He knew everything was going to go as they had planned. Kaosu would knew that he would have to take out the three guards in the front, because he knew he could take them out without much noise at all.

Shihouin had said somethiing about going over a plan. This was a good idea, but they needed to act fast. "I will take the three in the back, out, so they will not see us coming." Kaosu soon let his insects out and the circled around the men. At first they seemed like harmless insects, so the man merely swatted at them, thinking nothing of it. However, swarms of insects soon covered almost their entire body, so they could not scream or yell for help. Kaosu left their eyes barely open, so that he could use his sunglasses to catch them in a simple genjutsu that would knock them out. Once they were knocked out, Kaosu let the three get a good look at them. "Alright, I want you three to use your transformation techniques to look like these three. This will let you gain entrance without any of them knowing. They will most likely not be able to tell the difference. If they do, I will be right behind you to fight them off." He smiled at them and awaited for them to change.

He soon took the bodies away and laid them in the bushes so no one could see them. "Shihouin you can take it from here. Razio and Ayame, I'm counting on you." Kaosu knew that he could take shape as one of the same people, because Raizo and Ayame would be outside and Kaosu would ne inside. He soon opened the door and awaited to see what Shihouin had been planning.

Raizo settled down on a tree branch, crouched low near his comrades so as not to attract attention from the guards that walked around the top of the wall. It was a place of moderate size, not too big yet it wasn't small either. Easy enough to inflitrate for any trained ninja. There were guards positioned at every corner of the wall and according to Kaosu-sensei there were three guards at the back entrance and three at the front. Getting in wouldn't be a problem but once they were in, how would they go about getting to the bandit leader? He had many mean, the majority of them in the big open space right inside the walls. A dojo nestled in the center of the compound. Raizo didn't see much of a problem with getting in but even the best plans had a tendency to go wrong.

Ozunu's ears twitched when Shihouin began speaking. Raizo allowed himself to lean against the tree that the branch was attached to while he listened. It was a good enough plan but Raizo didn't really like the idea of being on the outside while Shihouin and Kaosu-sensei were on the inside. Nothing to do about it though. Even though he didn't want to admit, the task he had been given actually suited his abilities. He and Ozunu could easily clean up after Ayame and Ozunu's nose could easily pick up people come from behind or above. It worked out, either way, and Raizo was ready to get the whole thing over so he didn't have to worry about anything for a few days.

Cocking an eyebrow when Kaosu-sensei sent out his bugs, Raizo waited to learn what they were doing. It took all of a few seconds before they moved to the spot where the bugs had moved off to and found three guards unconcious. Raizo formed the handsign when Kaosu-sensei told them to henge themselves as the three men. Kaosu then gave a short speech and passed the lead over to Shihouin and then told Ayame and Raizo that he was counting on them. Raizo nodded and put Ozunu under the large kimono the man was wearing. It woudn't go well if they were caught because they realized the man didn't have a tiger cub. Raizo nodded at Ayame and moved along behind her, watching her back.

OOC: Sorry for shortness

Despite the fact that she has never killed before and that she had never really been in this kind of situation, Ayame couldn’t help but have the feeling of getting this mission over with as a top priority. After the hours of preparation and training she was able to sneak in earlier in the dark morning, Ayame felt a lot more confident and more than ready to complete this course of action, even going so far as to practice some of those basic ANBU skills her grandfather would show her a few times in their earlier training days prior to the start of the mission.

Taking this in mind, Ayame let out a pretty deep yawn before blinking her eyes and shaking her head a bit. Getting those hours of training did come at a price for her due to the limited amount of sleep she got, but she still had the mission objective in mind so she was able to push out the thought of a quick nap rather easily as she listened in while the team started to regroup, Shihouin going over a few plans he had in mind in order for this to go as smoothly as possible towards succession.

Ayame listened in closely as her name was mentioned, noting her disadvantage in open combat, recalling just what limited Ninjutsu can do to someone in that fight she had with Shihouin that one time. But she did have at least some knowledge of ANBU things, like pressure points, proper interrogation, etc. It helped extremely that she decided to freshen up on her ANBU techniques this morning also. If they kept a level head and a good strategy like this, they might even be able to make it before dinner time, which would be awesome because if she could recall, they skipped breakfast this morning.

Ready to set the plan in motion, Ayame waited for the first three guards to be out of the way so they could get started. Once Kaosu had them subdued, Ayame went over and took a look at her guy, carefully examining every visible aspect down to little paper cuts until she formed the quick handsign. ‘Transform.’ a puff of smoke appeared on her person, masking her appearance before unmasking to reveal the guy that was now hidden from view. Once it was go time, Ayame waited until Kaosu and Shihouin would head on inside before she took another big yawn and looked around, moving her way on over to a stoop before sitting and leaning against the wall. “Guard duty… yep, I feel reeeeal important now…” She quietly said with an obvious hint of sarcasm in her voice. “So… anything you wanna do while we wait for something to happen?.” That time, directing her question to Raizo.

Since Shihouin was taking command, well at least to some degree, it would be his job to do this quickly and silently. After henging into one of the more generic men, Shi didn’t transform into any of the men that Kaosu took out. After all, those guys were positioned on watch duty and thus, someone would know if they were on duty or not. In his mind it had been a risky move on Kaosu-sensei’s end, but he could cover up for it with two henged Kage Bunshin. Keeping those clones out in front of the gate after he’d entered the building, Shi scanned the area with his Sharingan. There were at least a minimum of 100 men here, so Kaosu and Shi would have to play it safely. They were all in the courtyard playing dice, talking, playing cards and all other sorts of normal stuff that men would do. Good, none of them would notice two guys walking towards the building on the inside.

Once Shi had made it to the building with Kaosu trailing behind him, he posted his back up against the wall and eyed Kaosu sensei, until he was in hearing range of a few whispers. There was no one immediately around them, so no one else would hear. “There’s no room to use a shadow clone out here, well at least for me. I’m going to go inside as quickly as possible. Once we get in, find some cover and send another bunshin back out here. Of course, use someone generic. Maybe someone that you’ve seen in your time that looks like one of these guys. Since there are so many here, I doubt they all know each other well.” Shi moved quickly from his spot after talking, not giving Kaosu any real time to respond. He didn’t need to though. They now had eyes on the outside by the gates, and they would need eyes on the inside. One of Kaosu’s shadow clones would be enough to alert the entire team and man handle a good portion of the guys.

There was a door not too far from them, guarded by one of the bandits. Shihouin slowly walked up to the door, making it obvious that Kaosu shouldn’t be too hard on his trail. The bandit wore no shirt, some black pants and boots. He was dark skinned with an odd tattoo on his back. Spiky black hair littered his head, and he held a giant kunai in his hand. Shihouin continued to walk up to the door, but the guy pressed a veiny hand forward. “What do you wanna go in here ‘fer?” Shi looked at him and came up with a perfect excuse. “I swear you’re shittin’ me dude. I gotta piss. Bad. Now let me and my friend through.” The guard was flabbergasted for a second, then realized that the bathrooms were on the inside. “Oh, right this way.”

Getting inside was the easy part, but learning how to pass as if they knew the layout of the building would be difficult. Shi slowed his pace a bit, scanning the building with his eyes. Committing the layout and everything to memory, he tried not to look up. Usually when people were new to a building or surroundings, they immediately scan the area by moving their head. By keeping his head level, he could pass for someone that might know the layout. The bathrooms were on the right. Shi pointed to the mens room, but more specifically the several doors next to it. Kaosu needed to take one for cover to put a bunshin on the inside.

Since the bathrooms were singles, this would make the situation a bit difficult. Shi ducked into one and turned on the light, locking the door from the inside. He quickly de-henged, grabbed a kunai, wire and four solider pills from his pocket and henged back. The bathroom set up would work for his favor. The moment you came in, the mirror and toilet were on the right. He would hide behind the door and attack then. He quickly unlocked the bathroom door and turned off the lights, waiting for someone to open the door. During the small time he had to himself, he realized the best way to kill the leader would be to stuff him full of solider pills with physical force. He would need to test it before he could actually try it out. He would also need to collect information on the whereabouts of the bandit without making any noise at all. And he would have to do it in the time it took one person to take a shit, which would be about three minutes.

He could hear footsteps coming up to the bathroom, so he quickly prepared himself. The door moved open, and the lights flicked on. A guy walked in, he wore blue pants and a raggedy cloud village vest. He must have been some common thug. Shi could take him at that size, but it would be a little rough. He had a katana on his hilt, so he would have to be careful. It was probably just for show; most of these guys looked weak anyways.

Pouncing from his spot, he closed the door and locked it, turning on the fan as the guy realized he wasn’t alone. He quickly reached his hands around his neck, throwing the weight of his arm around it and brought him into a choke hold. He struggled hard, but began to kick around. Shi spoke in an eerie calm. “Shhhh. Shhh. Shhh. Calm down.” The guy didn’t calm down and kept kicking. Shi brought his leg up and kicked him hard in the side of one of his knee cap, dislocating it. A tight grunt came out. He had been making too much noise. He tightened his grip and twisted, as the kicks began to get weaker and weaker. Before he could pass out, Shi released him and let his blood flow back to his head. He punched him in the face, throwing his balance off.

He had about two more minutes. Using basic academy skill and a little innovation, he strapped the guy to the toilet stool as he fought his consciousness. Shi grabbed some water and went over to the sink, lightly turning it on cold as to not make noise. He took the cold wet towel and splashed it on his face. “Tell me where the leader is.” The guy eyed him with pain and then spit a mouthful of blood in Shi’s face. Shi wiped his face clean with his shirt. “You just fucked up.” He rushed forward and grabbed the guys mouth before he could scream. The kunai in his left hand found its way to the guys sac, but Shi stopped before he could hit him. “Tell me where he is.” The guy grunted again, barely making a coherent sentence. “Fucking….. knew… rebels!!!” Rebels? Shi smirked silently, “Yeah that’s right. We’re going to take over you guys and then move on to the village. Oto will be ours for the taking.” He grunted once more. Shi had to finish, he had about a minute left.

He moved the kunai and dug it into the guys right lung, piercing his body but sparing his ribs. Moist air leaked out and the guy near passed out, save for his left lung which began to work over time. His entire body began to heave up and down, and he could barely hold on to consciousness. Great. Shi had him worked down to a point where he could use his Sharingan. Turning on his three tomoe, he forced the guy to stare into his eyes, baring all the power of his Sharingan on him that he could. “Tell me where he is, and where he will be in the next twenty minutes.” He grunted, then talked in a low whisper which was full of breath. “In the basement, down the hall to your left. He’s leaving in ten minutes to start a raid. Everyone is going to attack again today. That’s why everyone is outside in the courtyard.” So he had about ten minutes, give or take. “Who are the rebels?” “Hired guys from another organization who want to kill the leader and take command of our resources.” ‘So that’s why they were organized into a gang. They are stealing resources and hiding them’, Shi thought. “Take these pills.” Shi reached in his pocket and pulled out four of the nine solider pills he had left. He gripped the man’s cheek with his hand, and forced the pills down his throat. Soon after, he kept his mouth open and reached down there with a kunai and sliced at the guys tongue, cutting it up near the base.

Before the guy could register pain, he began to grunt. His tongue wouldn’t let him form words and the lack of a lung made it hard for him to breath. Shi could almost hear his heart rate soaring. Even among ninja, taking more than one of those pills was dangerous. The only time when you would take more than one was if you had already exhausted some strength. This guy had just downed four at one time. His chest began to heave unnaturally and his body began to shake. He began to emit low grunting sounds and his body began to move unnaturally. Shi was done here, and his time was up. He turned off the fan and made sure there was no blood on his body. Putting his weapons up, he henged into a better looking outfit with his previous henge and quickly stepped out of the bathroom with a hand on the lock. He quickly locked it before the door closed. No one had seen him, but Shi could hear the grunts from the inside. If anyone came by and tried to open the door, they would be hearing the guy going through a slow and painful death, experiencing a near heart attack with every grunt. However, to anyone on the outside, his death would sound like constipation. It’d pass off as him taking a terrible shit.

More than likely, Kaosu hadn’t stayed in the bathroom the entire time and would see him walking down the hall toward. There was a door on the far end guarded by two guards. Shi moved slowly, but not too slow. He would need Kaosu’s help with a genjutsu to confuse these guys before he got close enough. He placed his hands behind his back and walked towards them. He needed Kaosu to down them before they could make a move.

We lost out on this mission a long time ago. Unless Jiro permits us another extension then I am currently not in his thread since people are having trouble posting.

This mission was supposed to be completed in two weeks, and that was before I moved.


It's pretty much been a month.

The team had took all the things they needed to be ready for this mission. No one would notice them, because they were all using henge to hide who they really were. It was a good thing they had a few guards at each part of the base outside. It made things a lot easier for everyone. Kasou had saw that Shihouin was planning ahead, and he would let him take control, unless something got out of hand. He had told Raizo and Ayame to take care of the rest of the men outside, which would be helpful to them, if they needed a quick route out. It was good to see each of them played a part, but Kaosu had doubts of letting everyone go off in different ways. However, he knew each of them would be fine. He looked to Shi, and nodded at him. "Whenever you are ready, make your move and I will follow."

Kaosu was glad things were going very well with this mission. Although it had seemed there was a lot more men in the building then he had originally planned. There were not so many that he had to worry about himself getting killed, but he did have to worry about one of his genin getting taken hostage, and he was not about to let that happen. He knew that he could track them, using his insects. Soon, three bugs walked down his pants legs and flew away, heading toward each of his Genin. He placed one on each of them, so he would know if anything was going on with them at all times. He did not want anything bad to happen to them, and if something did, this would assure him to make it to them in time, before it got worse. He looked to Shihouin, because it was now his turn to lead. He would do what he said, unless it required something drastic. However, Kaosu knew this was no the case. Shi was a very smart ninja, even though he acted up sometimes. He was glad to have him on his team. Shi soon lead both of them into the bathroom, he had finally seen all the men, inside. There were quite a lot,.

They soon made it into the bathroom, and Kaosu followed, but took his time while doing so. He knew that if he looked like he was following him, the bandits would see this, and take action. He soon arrived in the bathroom, about a minute after Shihouin. Although he had left the bathroom before Shi did. Kaosu insect had informed him that Shihouin was alright and doing things just fine. He soon noticed him come out the bathroom, in different clothing. He rubbed his head, and wonder what had happened. Although he knew now was not the time to ask, but he would later on. He looked into Shi eyes and walked downstairs. He noticed several men before the door lead to the bandit leader. He let out several hundreds of insects, to cover each of their mouths, right after Kaosu stuck out his sunglasses and used his genjutsu. The insects would hide their screams of pain, so no one could hear them. Soon, Shihouin had walked down the stairs where Kaosu was sitting, with his sunglasses still out.

He nodded to Shi as he stood up. "These men have already been taken out. We need not to worry about them." He said in a very quiet voice, so he knew no one could hear him, besides Shi. "You lead the way from here." He was really happy to see how things were going in this mission. Shihioun was turning out to be a real ninja. This made him very hopeful that all of his genin would one day grow up and be stronger than himself. Thats what he had always hoped for. Kaosu waled over to the door hoping that Shi would soon follow him. They knew they could not make much noise or people would think something was going on. Kaosu looked at the door and it had seemed to be locked. This man must have been scared for his life. He looked at Shi and whispered in his ear. "Unless you have another way to open this lock, I can have my insect eat it, without anyone noticing." He awaited for Shihouin to reply. He also hoped that the other two were alright. He did not want to separate, but he knew that it had to be done. "We better hurry, because I want to get in and out of here as soon as we can." He was ready for somewhat of a fight at this point.

OOC not a great post.


Great, Kaosu sensei had already performed the genjutsu at the right time. Even though he didn’t have anything that small, he had to admit that the bugs he used in his ninjutsu were useful; they were small, silent and followed the perfect command. That allowed gave them a great advantage. However, Shihouin had his own plan in mind. The lock on the door was annoying enough, but Shihouin had to find away to get through it so he could get to the chief. At first, he wondered how the lock and how the set up worked. Maybe they had some type of code to get in and forcing open the lock wasn’t the best idea. He could take that assumption and use it and try to get in another way, but he was pressed for him. If he wanted to do this -personally- he would have to find a way for him to open the lock quickly, without causing that much noise and that much damage. Hmm.

Reaching his hand to his ninja pocket under his shirt, he grabbed a needle and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. It was small enough to pick the lock, but Shihouin didn’t have that in mind. His hand, the same arm which had a scar on his biceps was his idea. Long time ago, Sanzen had taught him how to tolerate pain and use ninjutsu while under pain. He had been cut by a burning kunai. The same principle would apply here. He focused chakra to his hand and heated it by adding fire. Shoving needle into the lock, he forced it near the end and began to slightly jiggle it as the needle began to heat up, hotter and hotter until it turned bright red. Forcing the lock to open itself by melding the inside, he silently popped it open and discarded the lock while holding the door handle.

Shihouin turned around and looked at Kaosu sensei- signaling him that he was ready. Shihouin twisted the lock quickly and threw a kunai inside with a smoke bomb as he opened the door. The smoke exploded in a loud bang, drenching the room in darkness. There were muffles inside, confused voices which didn’t know what was going on. The sound of metal against metal, they were drawing weapons to prepare theirselves against the smoke. However, Shihouin could see just fine. With this Sharingan on, with just one tomoe he could see three chakra signatures. Two stronger men and one with a weaker chakra signature. The two men were positioned in front of the weaker one. Drawing a kunai from his pocket, he crouched and rushed low making sure he made no noise. He stabbed one in the stomach and pushed up, rising his body up as the kunai sliced through his lower abs, on up to his throat. Pulling the kunai from his body, he ducked as the other one swung blindly, throwing his sword across the air. Shihouin gripped his throat tight and pressed on his Adam ’s apple, chocking him as he sent a kunai in his chest and twisted it near his heart. The last one had backed up onto the floor. Still under the cover of the smoke, Shihouin jumped over the small table and slammed the kunai down on his chest. He fought hard, grabbing anywhere and death locking his hand onto Shihouin’s side. Shihouin didn’t worry about the death grip he had on him, he pulled the kunai from his gut and continued to stab him, this time in the throat. The smooth blade pushed its way through the small muscle and stopped on the hard bone of his spine. He made an odd gurgling sound and died.

Shihouin wiped the blood from the kunai on the dead man’s tattered shirt and stuck it back in his pocket. Walking out of the office with his hand held in his pocket, he looked at Kaosu and spoke. ”He’s dead, mission over. Let’s get out of here Sensei.” Since there was no one to really worry about in the building anymore, Shihouin quickly jogged down the hallway and turned back to the gate where the guard was. He was slumped over with a kunai in his throat, and chest. There were a few men that were still alive, but they were dropping out of nowhere. Shihouin crouched and reached quickly for a kunai, wondering who it was. He continued to look around; scanning the area for whomever was making the invisible assault. In the distance about fifty meters away from his position, Ayame and Raizo’s chakra signatures lit up. They were throwing tools; all though he couldn’t see the tools he could see their hand motions. They had already taken out all of the guards, and by the time Shihouin realized it was them they had finished up the last guard and were making their way towards Kaosu. Shihouin walked briskly towards them, keeping his hands in his pocket. ”You guys took out all the guards, and we’ve killed the chief. I think we can go now Kaosu sensei”
