No More!![Mission,P]

Spoiler:

'Why in gods name must I get my hands dirty, shouldn't my ninja, lack thereof, be taking care of the villages problems?' Saiga asks himself this, as he grabs his coat from a hanger in his office. On his desk is a document, requesting immediate aid. For what? Poachers!! It seems that they are growing in size, but unfortunately, their numbers aren't the only thing increasing. Their victims also increase in number, all helpless animals, some rare, and endangered. Saiga being the animal lover that he is, finds this repulsive. Why would a person, kill an animal for no reason? When they obviously have the advantage, with weapons, and numbers. Saiga might be slightly more lenient towards the bunch if they were fighting the animals fair, and square, barehanded, and one on one. What's the problem with doing that? It could all be so simple. Saiga sighs, shaking his head, as the young, and ambitious village leader walks through the village, his hands in the pockets of the coat. The hood, over his head to keep his hair from being wet.

Upon getting this mission, Saiga devised the perfect plan to find the poachers whereabouts before they are able to attack again. Knowing only a fool would head straight to the jungle, and begin searching, before first weighing out their options. This option Saiga found, just so happened to be within the village. Entering a collectors items shop, Saiga walks towards the counter. The clerk looks towards him in dismay, her hand reaching behind the counter, she attempts to grasp something, but it was too late. As Saiga approaches the counter, he lifts his hand, and removes the hood from his head. What the woman expected him to do, he did not know. The woman sighs, looking towards Saiga she withdraws her hand. "How may I help you?" Saiga smiles a fire within his eyes begins to burn, slowly alluring the woman towards him. "Well first, you can get me the owner." The woman smiles, licking her lips she walks towards a door near the back. Saiga follows her closely behind her as she walks, "What's your name mister?" Saiga smiles, it seems the woman was a foreigner, probably raised within the borders, Saiga could tell this from her thick country accent. "Saiga." The woman rubs her forehead, wrinkling it while doing so. "That sounds very familiar." Saiga chuckles, "I bet it does."

The woman finally, raises her hand, and knocks on the wooden door. "Mister, we have a, uh..." Saiga chuckles a bit more, "Saiga." He says, helping the woman finds the word she had lost, which just so happened to be her leaders name. "A mister Saiga, is here to see you." Instantly the door opens, a slightly overweight male of average height opens the door. Covered in sweat the man speaks, "Leader-sama, it is an absolute blessing to be in your presence." Saiga playfully plucks the man's forehead, there's no need to be so formal, we were in the academy together after all, were we not?" The woman only stares in disbelief her had covering her mouth, she runs away in embarrassment. "She's a strange one, that girl..." Saiga laugh, "I've noticed that already." The two stand at the door in silence, before the man catches himself, "My bad, come on in Saiga." Saiga enters the room, closing the door gently behind himself. "Would you like a drink? Coffee, water, liquor, you can have it all." "No thanks, I'd like to talk to you about a more serious matter." The man walks to his desk, taking a seat. "What is this you wish to speak of, whatever it is, I'm all ears." Saiga clears his throat, and adjusts his posture to a perfect level, before speaking. "It's about the village. Well more specifically the animals within the jungle. They've been vanishing at an alarming rate." Saiga pauses a wave of silence flows through the room. "I want to ask you something regarding this." The man sits up from his previous relaxed position, his attitude becoming a bit more serious, upon hearing the subject Saiga speaks of. "Anything, I'll help out in any way I can." Saiga smiles, well great. "For starters, where does your shop collect its rare, fur from. I need a list of all senders."

The man nods his head a single time, glaring into the eyes of Saiga without fear. "Done. Anything else." The man says this while pulling out a scroll, and pen. He begins to write the names of all senders, before handing it over to Saiga. "No, that is all." Saiga grabs the small scroll, and exits the office. Now within the shop, he stares around for the girl, but cannot spot her. Shrugging his shoulder he exits the entire building. With the list in hand, Saiga visits the home of each name. At first he comes up with nothing, close to righting off the entire stint, as a natural disaster, somehow caused by the animals themselves, but this does not sit well with him, so he continues....An hour later, and a single name left on the list Saiga's moral is in the negatives. Approaching the home, Saiga knocks on the door. A woman answers the door, half asleep, and rubbing her eyes. "May I help you?" Saiga stares at the woman, and attempts to see in the house, but cannot, due to the darkness. "Sorry about waking you, at this time of night. I need to speak to a Myoto, is he here?" He looks down at the paper, to check that he's correct. The woman sighs, "No, he isn't he's probably out hunting with his friends. He does this every night, I tell him to stop, but its like an obsession." The woman sighs loudly, raising her hand, pushing her hair away from her face. As she does this, Saiga notices a rather large diamond on her finger. "You married?" The woman smiles, her face glowing with joy. "No engaged, To got me this ring the other day." Saiga smiles, "Congratulations, looks like it cost a fortune." The woman laughs, "Thanks, and I guess it did. To went into his secret saving just to get it." Saiga stares at the moon, having not realizes how dark it had gotten.

"That's all I need to hear, if you see him, tell him Sai, is looking for him." After he says this, Saiga walks off, into the night. Once out of view of the woman he sprints towards the forest. The woman's husband was his target, he and his friends, that Saiga was sure, he would have to reach the forest before they could get their hands on any more animals. In a matter of seconds, five to be exact. Saiga locates the men. Hiding behind a tree, he observes the men, three of them. All dressed in mild armor. Each holding a hatchet. This sight disgusts Saiga. Jumping out from behind the tree, he shouts. "Put away your weapons, and come with me. One way or another." The men stare at each other for a moment before, attempting to run away. Bad idea. Saiga sprints pass all the men, the moment he passes them, they fall to the ground. Saiga having pinched their pressure points, as he passed them. The man's skill was obviously more than enough to handle a mission of this class. Lifting the men into the air, Saiga places them each onto an Osmium platform, shaped to hold their bodies, so its size varies.  Within a matter of seconds, the men are guided to the prison, Saiga as their escort. Dropping them off, Saiga heads along to collect his reward. Tired with the days work. The dust back in its holder, Saiga is happy to know that the jungle is safe, once more.
