Special Info: Can be repeated up to five times.

Kumojin entered the village and went down town. His starting place was to be the spot where the incident occured. Kumojin wasn't the smartest person in the village, but tracking things down wasn't to complicated. This painting wasn't small either. It wa a full sized painting of the council member Hugo. It wasn't easy to break into the mansion in the first place, but to get through all the traps like they were in the mission required brute force that most ninja weren't capable of. The door was smashed in, the locks broken, and the window shattered. Someone wanted in and they didn't want to be gentle about it. But the strangest part wasn't that they got in, but that all they took was the painting and a few miscellanious things. Nothing major was taken except the painting.

Kumojin got to the mansion at about noon. The light was still out and Kumojin saw the full extent of the damage. The door was kicked in and the top of the door frame was bent up, as if some gigantic beast didn't know how to use the door knob. The floor had large dents in it, in the shape of feet, but the size was so large it was nearly impossible. The entire place was utterly destroyed. This wasnt much of a mission of finding who the target was. It was a mission to find WHAT the target was. Kumojin went through the mansion and couldn't find anything of real notice except the obvious massive footprints and damage. He did notice one thing extremely odd. There were no footprints near the painting, as if someone else had come in and stole it.

[Kumojin]

Kumojin looked around and found the window crashed through, most likely by the same gigantic individual who broke in through the front door. Out the back, there were shards of glass in the ground, but no blood, even in the footprints that had large amounts of glass. This meant that whatever it was had skin tough enough for glass not to pierce through. Kumojin looked around and saw something else. A thread from a rope and a bit of glass that was smashed into a corner. It looked like someone swung out on a rope and got away that way. Kumojin put it all together, though it took a bit of time, and determined the thief stole the picture after the large beast had broken in already.

The goal of this mission wasn't to find the person who broke into the house, but the one who stole the painting. Kumojin jumped out the side and went through several yards, noting small strands of string and piece of wood, presumably from the frame of the painting. It wasn't a large person, deffinitely not the same one that smashed into the house and stole the pens, notebooks, etc.. It was a much more manueverable person, possibly another ninja.

[Kumojin]

Kumojin found the end of his tracks pretty quickly. The person wasn't there anymore, but it seemed like they vanished from the roofs of houses and they stopped using the rope. Kumojin went around, checking the shopkeepers to see if they had seen anything. Most of them weren't anywhere near here, the shops having been closed that late at night. One shopkeeper was open though. He said he saw a small boy with a big painting running by. The boy stopped for a bowl of ramen, then ran off towards the edge of the village.

Kumojin followed the ramen-sellers directions and found a medium sized shack. Inside, Kumojin saw the painting and a few people inside, most of which looked like thieves. From here, his mission was done. He wasn't being paid enough to take on multiple thugs at the same time. Not for this mission. He went back to the house and informed the council member, before leaving. With that, his mission was over... or so he thought.

Missing Portrait [2]
Rank: C
Ninja needed: 1-3
Mission info: Now that you have helped solve the riddle of who stole the self portrait now its time to take your task to the next level, hunting down the thief. Capture the thief and return the portrait to council member Hugo and be rewarded for your diligent work.
Special Info: Must have completed Missing Portrait [1]. May be repeated up to five times.

Kumojin was back. This wasn't going to be easy. He knew his targets and had to fight them. There were enough of them that he would have troubles if this was a straight up brawl. There were at least 5 different members to the gang and some of them were rather brutish looking, while others seemed fast. The mission, simply by virtue of it's goals, allows for killing of targets, but that is more of a last resort, as every person killed reduces the strength of the village. Kumojin had three options at this point. Option one was the simplest. Kill them. As many as it took to get the point acrossed that stealing from the higher ranking members of the village was an idiotic thing to do. The second option was to reason with them, try to figure out why they stole it, and the third option was to steal it back.

The last option seemed the easiest, but from what Kumojin was observing was that, at all times, 2 out of the 5 man group was there in the shack. This meant it was almost impossible to steal it back. So that left the other two options, both of which were rather difficult. Kumojin decided to try to take the peaceful approach, not knowing how well it would end. He went down and knocked on the door of the shack, molding chakra into his mouth as he did¹, he finished molding the chakra, making a small arrow that he could launch from his mouth if needed.

[Kumojin]

Kumojin entered pretty briskly. The door was opened and the men were staring at him. From here, he could tell that they weren’t an evil organization. It was a group of teen ninjas, probably 17-20 at the oldest, trying to get by. The hideout was okay from the outside, but inside was just a few chairs and a table. It seemed like they were just trying to get by in life, like everyone else in the world and they had just fell on hard times. ”So why did you steal it?”[/b] Their answer was almost exactly as he thought .They were just poor kids who were at a loss for what to do.

The story was pretty simple. Their leader, Jacob, heard a loud noise near the council-members house. Jason went to check out what had happened and the damage was already done. A large hole was in the front door, so Jason seized the opportunity, but all he could find was the portrait, so he took it to sell back later. The problem was, they couldn’t figure out how to send a note without getting caught. It was a pretty tough world after all, and these kids had the bad end of the world.

[Kumojin]

Not long after the story was told, Kumojin was rather off guard. He figured that the kids were just stealing to get by, so he let his guard down. They weren’t that threatening and he could tear through them in a heartbeat if he needed to. They weren’t skilled or professional ninjas. They were more like common thieves that wanted a quick way to make some money. Still, what they did needed to be punished. Kumojin asked them a few questions, before asking them what they think their punishment should be. The kids were rather harsh on themselves, and Kumojin had to talk them down.

Before Kumojin knew it, the door had creaked open and a man walked in. The man was a bit older than the others, older than Kumojin himself. He seemed much more difficult to deal with than the others. To Kumojin, it was a strange sight. The man was obviously better off than all the kids, and he didn’t look like he needed any money. He also looked a good bit more skilled than them. Him breaking into the house before the monster wasn’t that unthinkable, from the looks of him. He stood 6’9” tall, with a heavy frame. His clothes were all black, but looked smooth as the clothes found in the council member’s house. This man obviously didn’t need to steal to survive. He seemed to steal for the joy of it. Before Kumojin could react he was falling to the floor, a sharp pain in the back of his neck.

[Kumojin]

Kumojin spit out an arrow at high speeds, piercing through the bonds on his mouth before forming another arrow in his mouth. He created spider strands on the arrow from his tongue, guiding the arrow to his back to cut off his binds. They had threatened his kage, though indirectly. The kage could take care of himself if need be, but Kumojin didnft plan to allow these guys to make his life any tougher than it already was. Kumojin stood up and looked at the men. They noticed him, but werenft really sure how to react.
The first target was obvious. Kumojin forced his legs to rush forward, putting him behind the man who was the biggest threat. Kumojin tapped him with 10 of his fingers, leaving spider strands all over the man, the spikes stabbing into him and burn away his chakra. The next ones were going to be rather easy. Before Kumojin could go after them, however, he was smashed in the back of the head by a large fist. It sent him flying forward and, before Kumojin could react, the man was pulling Kumojin back to him with the spider strands. Kumojin flew into the manfs fist, before falling to the ground.

Hah, this is the level of Iwagakue ninjas? Pitiful.[/b] Kumojin stood up as the man named Jason belittled him. KAI! MON![/b] Kumojinfs body erupted with a surge of chakra. He pulled the man named Jason towards him using the 5 threads, slamming 3 fists into the manfs side for 9 C-rank damage. The man flew back, but the threads kept him from smashing through the wall. The rest of the members of the group quickly cowered to the ground. It was obvious they werenft ninjas.

Once activated, the user moves at twice (6 mps) their normal speed, to the point a normal eye will have a harder time focusing on the user, seeing the figure slightly blurry but still themselves, and a Sharingan Stage 2 would be the only one to truly see with clarity. Upon deactivation, fatigue settles and lasts as long as Gate was active, yields strain, but does not restrict the user's level of Taijutsu.
Description: The first stage of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Opening (ŠJ–å, Kaimon) is located in the brain, and upon activation, releases the brain's restraints, allowing full power usage of the body's muscles. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use extremely strong techniques, such as the Iron Fist's Frontal Lotus.

[Kumojin]

Kumojin dragged Jason with him as he left the shack, giving an evil glare back at the rest of the group. Before he left, he grabbed the painting of the council member. He dragged Jason to the council man’s house. Having deactivated Kaimon quite a while ago, Kumojin was finally breathing moderately instead of panting. His body was creaking a bit, but it wasn’t anything overly serious. Kumojin handed over both the painting and the man responsible. He left them both there and started to walk away before turning around. ”In case your wandering, he is the person who stole your painting. I brought him because he fought back, so deal with him however you want. Those strands should have burnt off the majority of his chakra by now, not like he had much.”
Kumojin walked away and went back towards the mission center. He didn’t mind getting dirty on a mission, but this was just plain ridiculous. All this work for one C-Rank mission? It wasn’t insanely hard work, but it was still more than he had bargained for. Well, at least at this point, if the councilman was unhappy it was his own damn problem, not Kumojins.
