[Chae]

name; Ghetto Patrol
rank; c
description; It’s time to take a walk downtown. Our less hospitable neighborhoods need just as many officers if not more down there, keeping the peace. It’s gonna be up to you to take stroll around the projects and enforce the law. Try not to be too intimidated.

With a few motivated steps, Chae made his way out of the missions compound, reading through his mission's scroll with careful eyes, deducing its information and his objectives.

"The Ghetto eh, haven't been down there since I enrolled into the academy, wonder how everyone is doing, heh, probably not that well if they're still down there."

He chuckled to himself softly before taking off towards the slums of Kirigakure, a place he'd been unable to forget for as long as he remember. That area played a huge part in who Chae turned out to be, where he came from, and how hard he worked to get to where he was now, well before his laziness claimed him.

As he walked, he recalled upon all the mischievous adventures he participated in with what little friends he came to acquire during his childhood. He remembered all the fights they'd gotten themselves into and would have inevitably lost had it not been for Chae's unusual ability to adapt.

The transition Chae made once he crossed over to into Kirigakure's 'ghetto' from a more refined area became obvious as he continued moving through the city. Massive buildings that were once clean cut and pleasing to the eye -over the years- swapped presence with old & broken homes - some even abandoned. The cold stench of crime and illegal drug trafficign overwhelmed his senses as his eyes jumped from place to place, recalling upon additional memories from his childhood.

"I guess some places just never change."

He soon came to pass an old park, one filled with swings and slides which were reduced to nothing more than beds of dirt and grim. It felt as though it'd been just yesterday once he saw ethereal versions of himself playing alone having the time of his life, prancing around in the sandbox without a care in the world. Although -as a child- being alone seemed like the worst thing in the world, as Chae grew older and came to understand the world, being alone really hadn't been all its cracked up to be..

Moving swiftly through the streets of Kirigakure's slums, Chae heard the sound retreating footsteps and window's shutting abruptly. The sounds grew in number the further traveled down the road. Something hadn't been right, the slums had never before been so empty, so lifeless.

"What the hell is going on? I'm know this area never had the richest folks around, but goddamn its like a ghost town. What the hell could've happened here over the years."

Curious as to what actually happened to his childhood district that once flourished better than any other years ago, he took the seriousness of his patrol to the next level, enough so that he decided to conduct a small investigation. It'd been easier said than done given that everyone seemed to have retreated back into the comfort of their homes. Something had to have happened among them for them to have withdrawn from the open area's in fear.

Before long, he hit a sharp corner and came into a fairly large open area where he immediately noticed an elderly man knelt down just 6 meters straight ahead. Behind that elderly man stood another that surpassed Chae in height. Two other men stood beside him, shoulder to shoulder, barely a few meters apart. They towered ruthlessly over the old man as if they'd been a group of predators that finally cornered their prey.

Scum of the earth they were, readying to be brutally execute an elder man in cold blood, in broad daylight no less. Chae knew the slums of Kirigakure were filled with unspeakable darkness and criminal activity, but -over the years- he grew ignorant to its evolution. Needless to say, he was more so disgusted than actually shocked. Over the years as Chae -before his period of extreme laziness- furthered himself and accomplished a great many things, the criminals were left to rot in the slums, which ultimately allowed their sick minds to fester and become even more dangerous.

The level of brutality and mercilessness that they displayed, Chae would not tolerate it - he couldn't. He was an object for the military to fight its wars and enforce its laws which, funnily enough, had been why he was even within that specific district. The trio and Chae exchanged gazes as both parties acknowledged their respective presences; all involed devoid of fear and regret.

"I'll say it one time and one time only, let the old man go, whatever he did, if he even did anything, it couldn't possibly be anything to warrant this."

It seemed that criminals had not only disregarded the law, but ignored it as well. Instead of responding with words, the men responded with their actions and raised a knife into the air, ready to bring it down upon the mans head. Unfortunately, he failed to seize the opportunity of basking in the satisfaction of taking the life of another. As a quick advancing step brought him within arms reach of the criminal. A straight right punch found and slammed into the center of the criminal's face, sending him revolving back along the ground as he skipped across the floor like a pebble on water.

It hadn't been until a piercing crash snapped into the air that his two underlings realized that their 'commander' was rightfully subdued. Opting to doing the right thing for once in their lives, they surrendered. Even if they were criminals - they were far from stupid.

Nice posts. My only suggestion would to be adding a bit more description of your scenery, or even a bit more on the NPCs you're writing about in your post. It would add more flavor and certainly would be fun to read.
