The Missing Dog!
Rank: D
Ninja needed: 1-3
Mission info: A woman, Mrs. Tojikano, has lost her precious Mr. Snuggle-dee-dums. Locate the dog. It was spotted in the Southern Zone,

Masumi was out and about the village known as Kirigakure, but not simply for some idle walk, but a mission. The city was uncannily quiet as Masumi made her way to the southern district where she'd meet the client and hopefully gain some information that'd help her succeed.

It was a short walk to the Tojikano residence, but the heat from the abrasive sun above made it seem longer than what it should had been to the blonde girl.

"Hello?"

Masumi said while she knocked. For a brief moment there was nothign but silence that pervaded the atmosphere until finally when Masumi was about to knock a third time the door creaked, crying as it opened. Before her eyes stood a round women, with large cheeks and auburn hair that looped and twisted atop her head. She had a tissue in her hand, wiping away tears as she sniffled.

The lady looked at Masumi's headband and her cheeks glowed bright red as she blew her nose.

"You must be the ninja they sent. Please you gotta bring back my Mr. Snuggle-dee-dums. He's probably cold and and scared!"

It took every ounce of control for Masumi not to burst outright laughing in her face. Her composure held itself as she bit her tongue.

"I'll do my best, but can you tell me where last you saw Mr. Snuggle-dee-dums?"

The lady-Mrs. Tojikano took a moment to think before she mouthed his last known location. Nodding Masumi headed out the door. It was a simple mission, and practically a waste of her talents, but it was a mission nonetheless so she had to complete it.

Masumi was hot on Mr. Snuggle-dee-dums, and she was sure he'd be found swiftly. Jogging down the dirt paths her eyes meticulously searched through the alleyways of Kirigakure. Most of her time was spent questioning random villagers for information about if they'd seen Mr. Snuggle-dee-dums or a small black dog with a white spot.

Finally her efforts began to bare fruit, a man had seen the dog a few minutes ago, running by the market district. Taking off with the wind at her back she headed in the direction the man had pointed her in. The sound of frivolous banter pervaded the atmosphere as the blonde looked around.

"Ha!"

Masumi's eyes had just spotted her target, darting off into a large crowd. Quickly Masumi began pursuit weaving in and out of the random passerby's. Her chase lasted until she ran into and nearby alley, casted in jumping shadows. Forking left and right Masumi was about to head left when she heard a bark.

Turning on the speed she headed in the direction the sound came from. A dead end stood before her, and that of the small dog she was searching for.

"Your mines!"

Shouting Masumi dove for the dog, a cloud of smoke settled as her back slammed into the wall, but within her arms was cradled her target.

"Gotcha!"

[Sayomi]

Bruised, but not completely damaged.

Within her arms was the dog the lady had wanted found, which meant Masumi's job was almost done. All now that was left was to return what was lost. Luckily it wasn't a long way back and before the orb in the sky fell Masumi arrived back at the place and before she could even manage to knock the plump lady busted through the door.

"My Mr. Snuggle-dee-dums! Your back, oh thank you! Thank you!"

Masumi didn't say a word back, but only handed the animal to its owner before she was knocked over in the process. Deciding to leave the two newly reunited master and dog alone, Masumi turned her back waving as she headed back to report she'd finish her mission.
