TOKUSHI (Courier-nin)

[☆ F ☆]

A Tokushi, or Courier Ninja, is tasked with a job that is similar to that of postmen in that they deliver precious cargo. They are professionals who risk their lives to deliver goods to the customers, but in the case of shinobi, they are often entrusted with the delivery of unique parcels that much reach their destination at all costs. The only differences between postmen and courier ninja are that postmen don't risk their lives while courier ninja do. Letters and packages are also much safer with courier ninja as they are known for their efficiency and outstanding records. However, they're overzealous in their deliveries, not even stopping when told they're delivering the wrong packages. A courier ninja never asks what they have to deliver, but they know that if their package does not arrive at its destination, they will face serious repercussions. Despite how simplistic it sounds, only the strongest and most agile may qualify for this position, as the Kage and elite shinobi that use this service will not trust just anyone...

◀ Delivery Types

The Courier services across hidden villages may differ in some way to fit their home village, but the basic concepts of delivery do not change. There are several types of deliveries.

---

▶ Diplomatic deliveries are those that contain formal messages and communications from one village to another. Think of declarations of war, peace, proposals of alliances, etc. These messages usually only come from the highest ranks in the village, like the village council, or the Kage themselves.

▶ Package deliveries consist of transporting specific items from one location to another. This could be a gift from one village to another, or an item that has been scheduled as part of a predetermined transaction, but the buyer cannot come to the village to attain it.

▶ Supply drops involve a delivery drop of much needed supplies to a shinobi battalion or unit embebed behind enemy lines. Couriers are expected to meet their destination regardless of circumstance, including times of war which involve traversing active battlefields.

◀ Delivery Rewards

Much like missions, deliveries lead to rewards, but only if the intended parcel reaches its destination under the determined parameters. The Kage assigning you the delivery will determine the difficulty of the delivery, but ultimately, the nature of the object being transported will help figure out the difficulty of the delivery.

A courier that loses their parcel will be viewed as ineffective. If your parcel is compromised, then it is your duty to either masterfully hide it for another ally to retrieve it, or destroy it in its entirety to avoid it falling into the wrong hands. Remember that at the end of the day, you have been entrusted with the safety and security of the delivery. It is up to you to make sure your package ultimately finds its home.
