Mission:Top Priority-Akihana, Odin, Umeko, Hanbei

(Skipping Hanbei because it has been more than 48 hours, feel free to join when its your turn next though. <3)

Akihana liked this little girl. Only a few years older than her own son, Umeko nonetheless looked like she could handle herself in a fight and was a good scout beside. As she led the blonde to where the royals were tied up, the medic couldn't help but note both how quick and quiet the girl was on her feet.

It appeared their plan had worked, or at least the two captors were gone, distracted by Odin and Hanbei or just off for a stroll in the woods, she couldn't say. What mattered was the one kidnapper that remained, and he too seemed to be in a rather lazy mood. Akihana was familiar with the sort, they underestimated anyone who didn't know how to utilize chakra.

Using her own chakra suppression, the young woman signaled to Umeko to come from the other side. She herself would handle the kidnapper while Umeko freed the royals. Once the plan was non verbally established, Akihana moved forwards, pulling out a simple kunai from her sealing scroll.

While it was true she had been practicing with various ways of manipulating her chidori, this was by far the blonde's most preferred method because it didn't hurt the enemy, it simply immobilized them. Infusing her electrical chakra into the unai, the kunoichi simply threw it at the lone kidnapper who was caught off guard completely. Akihana only saw the shock register in his eyes as his muscles went numb, her arms dropping to his side only for gravity to overpower him a second later as he sank to the floor.

The kunai had only hit his elbow, a small amount of blood flowing through the wound. The wound was superficial, the chidori katana technique modified for her kunai, not so much.

"Well, at least he won't feel any pain," the kunoichi murmured as she moved towards Umeko.

Odin lead Hanbei down to the area of the captors.  He thought he should do the talking instead of Hanbei to act like he was a wealthy man's body guard.  Two of the captors came out of their post when they heard Odin wailing at Hanbei.  He just made up everything on the spot, making sure the two guys heard him,  
"How could you lose your family heirloom!?  That thing is worth millions of ryo!  If ANYONE else finds it in this forest, I will lose my head!"  

Odin turned around, noticing the two eavesdropping captors and with a commanding and gruff voice ordered the two men to help him search for the prized possession.   
The two captors were promised a huge reward and money was what seemed to motivate them to help him and Hanbei "look" for the 'heirloom'.  He led them deeper and deeper into the forest, further and further away from the campsite.   

He held back every urge to laugh as he brought them further and further away.  If these two captors were to navigate back toward the others, they would fall into several pit hole traps or trip wire rigged traps.  

Things are going more well than I thought, he thought to himself.

"KEEP LOOKING YOU FOOLS!  I WILL PAY THE ONE WHO FINDS IT IN SPADES!"  Odin shouted at the two captors, now making them not work together but rather compete, bicker, and fight with one another over the supposed vast wealth they are going to receive.

Hanbei had kept quiet, but the traps seemed to have worked on a few of them. He stretched and began walking towards the sound of a captor wailing and shouting. A few of them had came to help, but fell into even more traps. One was hanging upside down by his ankles, a strong wire holding him up. Another had saw a wire and stepped over it, but only to fall into a pit. Another had made a run for it and triggered a branch to knock him unconscious. "I'm not surprised. Bandits are not very perceptive..." He picked up a rock and began bashing them in the head, knocking out those who aren't already asleep. "And now~ For the final act..." he pulls out a small gold-painted statuette and turns to Odin, "Can you place this in the sun, where the glare would shine off and into the distance? Knowing bandit leaders, they will go straight for the prize. I'll let you decide what to do. Either surround the statuette with traps, or place a paper bomb on the bottom of it. Either one should work;" he gave a giggle, "Although, the latter would be funnier!" he posed in a carefree way, his hands behind his head. "We should totally play Go! or something when we get back to the village~ I wanna pick your brain, as well as Akihina and Umeko's."

A small laugh of embarrassment escaped the blonde as Umeko introduced her to the royals, but more conversation was pushed aside in favor of both kunoichi leading the royals to safety. There was no way to know how the boys had fared until they met them at the base of the mountain path where hopefully they would return unharmed.

Upon reaching the end of their journey, Akihana and Umeko would wait for the boys and note if any on their mission companions needed medical attention. If non was required, the quartet would make it straight back to the Riakage chambers to collect their reward and safely return the royals to more capable hands with the hopes that they didn't find themselves kidnapped once more.

"Great Job everyone," the mission would end with Akihana praising the team. "Now who'd like to join me for pizza at my house. I make them fresh instead of ordering them in."

Odin placed a finger on his temple, contemplating the decision given to him by Hanbei, "What if we were to do both?  I can place a couple of explosive tags on the back of the 'treasure' the boss will find.  Next, we can lay around a trap that the blast can knock the boss back into the trap!"  Odin retorted.  

Odin pulled two explosive tags out of his pouch and laid it on the back of the fake treasure Hanbei placed down on the ground.  Next, Odin placed some leaves and marked where the blast would take the person who was daring enough to grab the treasure.  Finally, with a little wire tied to a thick branch, Odin created a fiber wire pulley trap.  

As if on cue, the head bandit was seen in the distance.  The shine from the treasure struck his eyes, making him only keeping his eyes on the prize. He ignored his comrades, crying out for help and walked like a zombie toward the prize ahead of him.  
  Things went just as Odin planned.  The bandit touched the prize, which triggered the explosive tags.  The bandit flew back, landing on his behind, next to the trap Odin set up.  

Odin came out of hiding and simply walked up to the leader.  He smiled, offering a hand to help him up, "Looks like you need a hand.  Let me help you....UP!" his smile disappeared into an evil smirk, hurling the guy behind him.  The captor lost his footing and by accident stomped on the make shift trap.  The trap sprung immedietely and the leader found himself upside down, smacking into a tree.  Odin pulled out one of his sheaths for his black katanas from behind his back, walking up to the helpless guy dangling from the wire trap.  

The leader pulled out a kunai and started cutting away at the wire, mumbling curses while doing so.  Odin used a hard hit at the leader's neck from one of his sheaths, knocking the leader out cold.  
"There.  That will keep him out of action for a short while," Odin looked back at Hanbei, his smile returned to a gentle one again,
"Let's get back to Akihana and the others.  I would be more than happy to meet up with you after this mission.  I can always be found at the training grounds if you need to reach me!  Maybe we can teach each other a thing or two!"  Odin gave the thumbs up as they quickly headed back to the meeting spot.  

Upon arrival, it looked like all the hostages were rescued.  Odin smiled as he approached the others, "The captors won't be pursuing us back home.  Hanbei and I took them all out of commission for a bit."  
When Odin heard the invitation for pizza, his mouth drooled slightly, "Oh yeah! I am starving!"

Odin looked towards Umeko giving her a thumbs up, "Good work getting them out safely.  When we are done here, we should hang out sometime in the future!  I think you, Hanbei and I would be a great team!" he giggled slightly before heading out.

Hanbei wasn't used to being praised. It felt strange, but somehow comforting. It made his cheeks burn red. He turned to the others and listened on. He was quite hungry, and he had never tried pizza before, "What is pizza? Is it good? Like ramen? Or crunchy, like an apple?" He pondered to himself and spoke up again, "No. Don't tell me. I wish to find out for myself~ I enjoy a good mystery." He bowed to  everyone before taking his own leave, taking a normal stroll back to the direction of the village. He would be fine.
