Name: Tag Part II
Rank: C
Repeatable: Once Per PC
Description: Some kids weren't cut out to be shinobi, as it happens from time to time. However those whom failed from the academy still has their training with them, and they refuse to do nothing with it. Using their abilities they have been putting grafiti all over Konoha. Capture those pesky kids. Be careful. Though careless, their ignorance can make them dangerous.
Obective: Capture the kids.
Reward: 50 EXP and 1,000 Ryo

Exiting the Hokage's Tower, Kilik had his mind set. Sure he desired to ask to take over the position as hokage by the first step he took, though he accepted that things wouldn't be that simple. It was impossible for a no name to make it to the top seat in the village. Not a matter of being superior, but of acknowledgement. This left him to make his name known. How does that happen? Missions, the proof of a shinobi's prowess. As a genin he could do little, but the most he could do was better than complaining about wanting more.

He found himself with a simple C-Rank mission. Hooligans spreading their 'art,' most likely desperate for attention. Why wasn't very important to him though, his job was to capture them, and bring them in, plain and simple. Just like how all shinobi do it, he thought, without thinking.

The issue with all of this was searching for them. Fighting would be easy, though this was a large village. Where to start?

[Kii!]

It wasn't meant to be. For different reasons, it simply hadn't worked out--they were trained as shinobi, dreamed of being shinobi, and yet they had failed. Still, their training had not fallen on deaf ears. They had taken it to heart, in their desperation, in their ambition, and now nothing of the sort remained.

You wouldn't have to go far, not if you were looking for it. In most alleys, in the spaces between buildings where their art could only be admired by darkness, they had left traces. Graffiti, the brands of what could have been. You'd notice that the graffiti would become more common the further away from the center of the village you got. Where once the art had only marked a few buildings here and there, it slowly began to litter the passages and corridors that formed Konohagakure.

So their location would slowly become more apparent, yet you hadn't yet caught the culprits. Where were they?

[Hopalong]

[OOC: Been a while since I've had a GM, so I won't fully remember what I have control of :x]

Wandering down the streets, being apart of the village he appeared like any other citizen, as his mission was not obvious, excluding his constant glancing around at the graffiti that littered the sanctity of this village. He gave each painting a careful observation, identifying them for any potential hints towards the culprits whereabouts.

As he continued on, he noticed that the amount of vandalism increased. Coincidentally, he was straying farther from the village center, or the hokage tower. Either they were purposely doing their work farther away from the wary eyes of the shinobi, or they lived on the outskirts of town, he assumed. Regardless, it was a good lead as to where to start searching.

Getting closer, he realized it'd be more helpful to remove his headband. If he was an academy dropout vandalizing the village, the last thing he'd want is a person who did succeed approaching him. Placing into the deep pocket within his sweatshirt, where it'd be safe and unnoticeable. Then it hit him this place was too big to search, so caved into the idea of asking around.

Going through three houses, finally a sweet old lady said there were some boys who dropped out of academy, and hung out in a nearby alley. Thanking her, he went to the alley, considering the best place to inspect. Even if they weren't there, they may have left something or return.

[OOC: Again, not sure if I can do something like that xD]

[Kii!]

[[ Generally, you don't control or add anything but yourself, and go off of what the GM says. 'Cause if you add in stuff like that yourself, then there's no point in having a GM. This is just a C Rank mission, though, so in the end it doesn't really matter. xD ]]

The alley was littered with graffiti. Nearly every inch of the place was covered in it--from names, which probably belonged to the dropouts themselves, to images of buildings, to phrases and people, it was all there. Above, a drape of some sort was spread between the two buildings that formed the alleyway, creating a makeshift, shoddy ceiling of sorts. The light from above fell through the translucent, red drape, giving the place a red tint entirely. Torn and dirty mattresses were piled up at random, forming a total of four beds. Sheets and blankets fell across them, though none of them seemed to be made to be neat.

And upon one of the beds sat a single boy, looking to be around the age of twelve. His raven-colored hair was messy and of medium length, falling down to his eyes. It appeared to be dirty, as did the rest of the boy, though his clothes looked suspiciously new and clean. He was pale, wearing a bright red jacket over a simple white shirt and black pants. Otherwise, he looked rather ordinary. Narrowing his eyes, he stared intently at you with suspicion, sizing you up before parting his lips to speak.

”Who are you?”

[Hopalong]

[OOC: I knew they had control of NPC's, but I've been in situations where I could control ones that are are random. Plus I wasn't sure what to do as your post was kinda vague to work with in terms of searching lol]

To his luck, one of the kids were present in this makeshift clubhouse. He observed the area, nothing standing out. The kid wouldn't hesitate much to question him, sounding defensive, but also trying to be intimidating. Kilik knew this was his chance to capture one of the kids, but if he charged him here, he'd get in an unnecessary fight/chase. Instead, he grew a smile, showing a face that showed amazement. He thought on his feet. "I'm Kilik... Ha, I'm sorry, it just I had to meet them! The geniuses who pulled off such artwork, and without anyone finding them!" His arms gestured to show all the paintings that spattered the wall. While he was lying, he kept up his act, trying to placate the him into humility. "Honestly, I'm a fan." He began walking forward, casually though, his head motioning as if trying to get a better look at a piece.

[Kii!]

"A fan, eh?" The kid straightened his body, though seemed to relax a bit and a small smirk came over his features. Then, as if reminded by some external force, his smile disappeared and he frowned again, looking upon you with distrust. "Alright, alright, nice to meet you. Got anything else to say?" Crossing his arms, he leaned back against the wall and stared into you, never looking away, hardly blinking. For this kid, this was all he had. It was important to him.

And it was as simple as that. Inwardly, the boy desired praise--desired acknowledgement--for anything. You couldn't be trusted, though. No one could, except the residents of those other three beds. So he buried his desires and pushed you away.

Then, there was a knocking at the far end of the alley. Some shoddy wooden planks were nailed to some hinges on the wall, and they slowly opened, revealing the source of the noise. Another youngster--a girl, looking just as dirty as the boy you'd already met--entered the room. Her walk was exaggerated and dramatic, with her hips swaying side to side as far as she could comfortably move them. Her clothing juxtaposed her walk, however; baggy black pants and a simple white, long-sleeved t-shirt covered her body. It was all obviously too big for her, but she acted as if she didn't notice. It was dirty and ripped, probably the only clothes she had.

"Hey, who the hell is this?" She asked, looking to the boy you were speaking to.

"A fan of ours, he says," said the first boy, smirking and chuckling a bit as he brushed a thick piece of black hair from his forehead.

"Tch." She stared intently at you--as if she could will you to burst into flames with her gaze alone--and certainly seemed more hostile than the boy. That, or she was very, very bad at showing her emotions properly.

[Hopalong]

He grinned a little as the boy fell for the compliment. Sadly he was a little more wise than to fall for an interested person, even though for that one second he made it how obvious he was desperate for recognition. He would've nailed it if it weren't for the voice that threw him off plans, "Hey, who the hell is this?" Just from that line, including the when he met her gaze, he realized she alone would probably make this twice as hard. He didn't let up though, keeping a small smirk as if he was already a guest.

As she showed distaste to Kilik's presence, he knew that the weak link in this situation was the raven-haired child. Clearly he could be exploited, perhaps the girl would work with a hostage situation. He did look to her, but soon enough he turned around, still casually turning his head back and forth to make him appear interested in their artwork. His fingers twined together behind his head to sell the casual bit. Hopefully the boy wouldn't notice how quickly he was closing their distance.

He stopped by the closest painting he could find near the ragged male. Little care as to what the picture actually depicted, he opened his mouth a little and let his hands drop to his waist and dangle, as if amazed. To the boys left and his right, his right arm would be concealed by his body to him as it nudged toward his pocket. He acted as if he snapped out of a daydream, looking towards both of them with another cheery smile. "Hah sorry, I'm a amateur artist, I guess I just never seen such detail before. I wish I could make something like this, it's just too bad that I..." His voice trailed off, looking directly toward the boy, his left arm shot out to grip his throat. He didn't intend on choking him, but he needed a good hold on him. If it worked he'd follow up by bringing him closer to his own body, back to him, drew a kunai from his pocket, and held it up to his throat. "Too bad I have to capture you." He spoke, regardless if the grab attempt worked, he would still speak this with and also draw the kunai regardless.

One Basic Kunai

[Kii!]

Both drop-outs watched you suspiciously, though it seemed the girl had a more powerful, drilling stare. She didn’t buy your act for a minute, even if the raven-haired boy did, deep down. Still, they’d give you the benefit of the doubt for the time being, allowing you to wander around the room, their own ignorance and arrogance playing against them. As you spoke, you wouldn’t quite finish halfway before the girl would interrupt you.

”Bullshit!--Hey!” She said as she watched your hand thrust out, wrapping around the boys neck before revealing a kunai. ”I knew it, you god damn bastard. I’ll kill you!” She quickly formed hand seals--though the technique she was about to perform was only a novice-level technique, it confirmed her previous training as a would-be shinobi. Five clones of the girl appeared around her, and she charged at you immediately.

”You don’t have the guts to kill him!” She said, smirking as she and every faux-visage dashed toward you. In reality, she probably figured that you weren’t supposed to kill them--that you hadn’t been ordered to, and, in reality, you’d probably get into trouble if you did kill one of them. But insulting you just felt better, and it was a pitiful attempt to hurt your pride, either way. But once she closed the distance, one clone would attempt to punch you directly in the jaw, though it would only fade through you if it did connect. The real girl would approach from your left, aiming a kick to your back.

The only thing that could harass the chances of his mission was the chance that one of the kids were wise enough to see through his guise. Sadly that came true, an annoyed grunt when he realized this. The boy was foolish enough to be easily caught, but with the other one's charge, he couldn't efficiently fight with him being held onto like this. I'll have to go at this another way, he thought.

A ray of confidence shown, as her main tactic was forming bunshins. It was obvious that they had to be the low ranked versions that can only fool the opponent, it would've been practically impossible for an academy student to know something more advanced. This wouldn't mean thing were complicated, sadly, as she appeared to have trained this well, even more than Kilik has. The first issue was doing something about this boy, because killing him was out of the list of choices, and he appeared to have no leverage with him. This might hurt a little He wanted to whisper. Though this wasn't the time, while he deserved to get a little roughed up a little for all the trouble he was creating for shinobi, they were kids. With a firm hand grasping his head, he gave a hard push, just enough for him to smack into the alley wall. He'd probably be stunned long enough for him to deal with the girl.

He kept a firm stance, kunai still in hand, just waiting to see which one was real. He knew he'd have to take a hit to handle this fight, but as long as it was just a smack from an academy dropout, he was fine. A small smirk as the first punch soared right through him. It quickly faded as a real body part connected with his back. She's got some strength. He said amazed. He was pushed a little off balance, but he'd been trained to attack from any stance he had, figuring a way out, with a flexible body, something that was just apart of skill. While his knees were bent slightly, he raised one leg, shifting all the weight to the other leg. Spinning 180 degrees, his kick aimed to connect with the side of her flank. If that missed, he'd throw out another punch as his leg simultaneously grounded itself , aiming a jab for her rib-cage.

If he had connected a single hit, which he'd use to stall her long enough to begin the finish. Bringing his kunai to his mouth, biting down on the grip in case he'd for some reason needed to use it again. Hoping he gained an opening, he'd quickly weave three handseals, upon the last one, his specialty Shoton would handle the fight from here. The length of the alleyway, unless it was longer than twenty meters, would be filled as it crystallized, the creations rising from the ground in pillars. They would not hurt them though, only restrain them, stopping their movements as it covered and pinned their feet down.

If for some reason his two hit combo hadn't stalled the girl, or the boy interfered, he'd remain vigilant to do what he needed.

Sekisuisho (Crystalization Commandment)(75)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Kekkei Touto
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Special: Rank determines casting range of Shoton creations and level of techniques which the user can crystallize. Covers a 10 meter radius, plus 10 more for each additional rank attained.
Description: The root behind Shoton's unbridled power comes from the ability to crystallize anything, as well as manipulate already-existing crystals and crystalline structures. Sekisuisho can crystallize any solid substance, so releases such as Earth, Water, and Wood techniques are virtually useless against it. Using crystal ninjutsu, the user can crystallize any physical material and even the moisture in the air around them, turning them into a weapon. The only apparent weakness of the crystallization process is that it cannot crystallize either raw energy or Chakra as they have no physical mass to crystallize, allowing a person with either energy-based jutsu, such as Lightning, Fire, or Wind, or even someone simply with good chakra control to properly counter it. Finally, all Shoton creations are also susceptible to a specific sound wave frequency; because crystal requires a very precise build-up of molecules, the proper sound waves can break down the build-up before the crystal can properly form.
Domain: Shoton.

Shuisho Chuushabari (Crystal Needle Restraint)(100)
Rank: Dx4
Type: Supplemental / Ninjutsu / Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Chakra: Low
Special: Area of prison creation depends on the user's 'Crystallization Command' rank. Can restrain up to one target per use, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: Although basic, the Needle Restraint technique is nonetheless effective. After forming a few simple seals, the Shoton user summons a flurry of fast moving crystal pillars from underneath their target's feet. The aim is not to injure them, but to overwhelm their body in staffs of crystal that prevent movement and best of all, drain the user of chakra slowly in order to power and reinforce the prison.
Domain: Shoton. Must know 'Crystallization Commandment' 'D'.

[Kii!]

[[ You can finish the mission up this next post, if you want to. If not, that's cool, too. ]]

The boy, who struggled against your grip, but utterly failed due to his immensely weak physique, was stunned momentarily. He'd smashed against the wall, stepping and stumbling back a few steps, although managing to maintain his balance despite the room whirling around him. The girl, however, was obviously far more skilled than he--and managed to land a blow against you. She smiled devilishly, though soon her grin would be taken over. Cringing in pain, she felt your leg drill into her side before she was sent flying into the wall, colliding with her back against it.

Despite this, she landed on her feet, and far more ready to continue fighting than the boy you'd caught earlier. Unfortunately for her, she'd have no time to do so; instead, crystal began to fill the room, and she flinched. It was a reaction--she hadn't really believed you'd stab her, but she couldn't help it. And in that moment, they were both pinned, trapped by the crystal and unable to move.

"Shit!" She squirmed and struggled, but to no avail. In that moment, however, two others entered from the the door the girl had, panting and seemingly out of breath. They'd run here--they probably heard the fight, or the girl's screaming. They were both boys, around the same age as the other two, but looking a bit less pitiful than the first boy. Still, judging by their looks alone, the girl was probably the biggest threat amongst them.

Either way, they didn't hesitate to charge you, both attempting to punch you in random places, aiming randomly, from different sides.

[Hopalong]

[OOC: Idk, if you get a GM's comp on this site you can do more for free EXP lol. Just keep it realistic I guess.]

Kilik smirked as the fight went so quickly. True they were only academy student dropouts, but it had shown he has improved from where he was as a student. Content, he put his kunai back in pocket, and was ready to grab wire to tie up the two delinquents, when the sound of running caught his hearing. He turned around, seeing two more kids, obviously partners, made their heroic charge. Little worry, doubting their strength was that much different from the others, if better at all. Besides, to run through a field of small crystal pillars completely unaffected was unlikely, leading him to assume there'd be some speed hindrance.

Their charge couldn't be more painfully obvious, he simply leaped backwards, gaining more distance, as he sped through another set of hand seals. Repeating the jutsu, another layer of crystal pillars would cover the previous, most likely trapping these two, along with adding double reinforcement to the ones who were trapped earlier. While landing on them would be a little discomforting, he doubted it'd set him back against people he trapped.

Another Crystal Needle Restraint

[Kii!]

Unfortunately, these children were far from skilled fighters. As they charged, they simply tried to dodge around or break the crystals that stood in their way, and eventually fell victim to the same technique as their friends. Squirming, they attempted to break or move the crystal, or otherwise slip out from the restraints, but to no avail. They had neither the strength, skill, nor repertoire of techniques available to them to break free.

With a sigh, the girl shook her head. "Fine, you win. What now? They 'gonna lock us up, or some shit?" The rest continued to squirm and struggle, but she just stared at you with hatred. She knew there was nothing in struggling anymore, and for them to have thought they'd get away with it was ridiculous in the first place.

[Hopalong]

[OOC: Sorry if the second para sounds a little god-mode :/]

A small urge to laugh at how pitiful these kids looked. They were trying to so hard to fight, while they couldn't even make it out of the academy with their skill. Instead he decided to finish his job. Grabbing his headband and strapping it back around his neck, listening to the girls small retaliation. Asking about her fate it appeared, which he simply shrugged and said, "The hell if I know. I'm just here to bring you to the hokage's tower." Honestly not knowing, nor caring of what happened. It was his job to do, not wonder.

"Now hold still." He grabbed the length of ninja wire from his pouch, not trusting these kids to walk by themselves freely, nor leave them here while he finds someone to bring them back. One by one, he wrapped wire around them, enough so their arms would bind to their chest, and stay there, but could still walk(unless they decided to resist anymore). To solve the problem of them walking, he decided to tie them together into groups of two, binding their left and right legs together by the ankle, as if having a three legged race. For this to be successful, he released one from the trap and brought them to another to tie to. He paired them with the raven haired boy and the girl together, and the two others together, finding that the most useful, the strongest appearing bound with the easiest to trick.

"Makes it more difficult to escape, and a touch of humiliation. Not bad." He muttered, smiling malevolently. It was the simplest way to get this done, he figured. "Now start walking." He said, completely cancelling the jutsu if he was able to get them tied as he desired. Carefully watching them, if they made any attempts at escaping he'd be ready. Otherwise, Kilik would lead them to the office to turn them in.

[Kii!]

They didn't resist much. All four had given up, eventually, and come face-to-face with the consequences. Well, they didn't truly have much choice, as you'd forced it upon them, but they realized that it was futile to resist, anyhow. So they allowed you to tie them up, because they probably wouldn't have ran anyways, and marched out awkwardly, with their ankles tied. None of them said anything, only pondered their punishment and wondered at what would happen, afterward. After all, they'd never known a life outside of their juvenile acts for quite a while.

[Hopalong]

A rather peaceful walk, to Kilik's surprise. Figuring the kids had submitted to his will, he was able to bring them to the hokage's office. Not sure where to leave them, he'd just bring them in with him when he claimed his reward.
