Mission Name: Clean Up
Mission Rank: C
Payment: 50 EXP and 1,000 Ryo
Mission Subject: A wealthy aristocrat who owns one of the most prosperous farms in the agricultural business seeks help. Some homeless men appear to have made themselves at home on his land, living off his crops. Their pestering is hindering his business. Being a frail man, and unable to allow ninja on his land(otherwise they'd spot a few things he'd prefer unnoticed by the local law), he needs a vigilante to handle the issue. All he asks is that the men are cleared off his land with whatever means necessary. They're a total of three men, none of them are trained in any ninja arts.
Objective: Clear the homeless men from the aristocrat's land.

Hiro, returning from his drunken rampage on the local taverns spread throughout the places of the lighting country that are more suitable for people to live in, had managed to find some work. Posted around the many places he ventured to were multiple offers of a small task, but paid handsomely. The odd thing that set this request aloof from others was the vagueness. All it stated was, A small clean up is needed in my land, below was the directions to the land and payment details. Hiro, being a careless man, preferred an unknown job compared to being broke.

After a taxing walk, lugging his heavy weapons with him everywhere always proving to be his sufficient workout, the vagabond wandered his way to the building. Though the word building was an understatement, mansion suited the place properly. Large steel bars blocked off the only gateway, the rest of the perimeter lined with a durable brick wall. Hiro humorously thought of how he could simply break into this place, but then again, not too many people of his superiority would take their time to try.

The man appeared to be waiting for someone to take up his offer, as he stood in behind the gate, most likely a defensive precaution. He was a rather short man, gray hair, thinning on top, with a dressy grey suit. A sly smile symbolized a clever like attribute to the man. Speaking snidely in an unnecessary matter, he greeted Hiro as he was in the proximity of the gate. "A man willing to take the job, I assume?" He spoke as if expecting him to show up at this exact moment. The non-ninja, uncaring of the odd factors to this man, responded in a neutral tone, "Yes." Short and sweet, that was how he preferred to handle the situation. This businessman, had a small chuckle, finding Hiro amusing. "Very good, I'll let you in then. While I unlock this door, I'll explain what I shouldn't have written on paper."

The suspicious words triggered the hired man's interest, but not enough for him to risk losing the job asking one too many questions. Blankness continued to depict his face. "I have a few men who think they can make themselves at home on my land, and what's more, feast on my crops, all for free! My workers are too busy with the harvest to deal with them. The job is simple. Get rid of them. I don't care how, just avoid damaging my crops and make sure they're over the walls by the end of the day." A few seconds after finishing his speech, the locks were undone, the gate opening just a sliver, albeit enough for Hiro's wide frame to fit. During the time that action would consume, he replied, "Simple enough." He walked through the gate, the farmer not hesitating to slam the gate shut again. Afterwards he faced his client, then pointed east, inside the brick walls, with a enticed laugh. "Confidence? I like it. The people seem to have set up makeshift homes in that direction. Feel free to come to my porch if you have any questions. Just ask for me, my name is- Oh?" The droning of this old person was too menacing on Hiro's attention span. Beginning to walk as soon as he knew where to walk,he waved his hand to the man, responding to him, "I won't have any questions."

The hired adult moved on, the employer, who never got to reveal his name to be Shiro, had another pleasured smile, "Well, he'll make this a fun day! Better hurry to my observation deck!" He happily trotted off to his large manor.

Moving down the aisle created between two rows of crops, Hiro glanced to see the different diverse assortment of fruits, vegetables, grain, and other things popular for sale. He could understand this man would be well off, which would also explain why someone found this place a useful place to make their home.

An offsetting site was the laborers though. They all seemed pretty miserable, except for the ones who had the privilege to flog others. A small chuckle came from Hiro's mouth, as it became obvious why he wasn't into hiring a ninja to handle this job.

Continuing down the path, no concern towards the shrieks of pain nor cracking of whips, he spotted a makeshift house composed of various branches and rocks. While poor quality and little protection, it was quite well constructed. Shame he had to wreck it. Intuition led him to think that whoever he needed to capture sat their right in his grasp, which led him to decide it wouldn't be fun to capture them all so quickly.

Observing the different things he had to work with, believing he could save his weapons for later, not wishing to clean blood off them for such a frivolous matter, he spotted a nice sized rock. Picking it up, it was small enough for him to hold with one hand, but sturdy enough for him to toss and cause some havoc. An enticed smile, he hurled the rock in the direction of the weak shelter. The rock tore through the house as if it was made of paper. The family that lay within the compound, fled in distress. With this he made mental notes of who he would be hunting. A middle-aged lady with a dark tan, presumably the mother, wrapped in warm clothes; two children, boy and girl, each wearing tattered t-shirts and shorts, no shoes. He looked back to see a teenage boy whose shin met the rock head on, as he lay in the ground on pain.

"You'll make a good hostage." He uttered morbidly, walking over to him, no worry of him trying to escape as he appeared to have either a fracture or something pretty damn close and just as painful. To Hiro's surprise, the man forced himself to stand, using a table that was most likely the focal point of their house. He quickly shifted his vision to where his family ran, considering the same most likely, then turned back, bringing his fists up to his face, making it obvious he'd be the hero and stop the hired vagabond. A more astonishing thing is Hiro felt sorry enough to not kill him, his last thought before in fighting range of the boy.

In arms reach of each other, the non-ninja saw no point in using a weapon to apprehend him, though he left his right hand edging towards one of his packs as a precaution. The teenager swung out a punch, clearly putting all his effort into it, aiming for the attacker's nose. A simple motion backwards safely put Hiro's face out of range, then grabbing the arm which threw the punch firmly. Quickly he shot out his other hand to reach for the back of his foe's head, then smashing the face of the victim into the wooden table. With little effort he had subdued him.

He pulled the face up to view him, inspecting the results. The nose was definitely broken, watching blood steadily flow. The boy was conscious, but in too much pain to struggle other than a small flail here and there. "And now I have leverage." Hiro smiled pleasantly.
