Preventing a Heist ( B Rank )

Mission Info:

Turns out that all of that time spent around the bank was going to pay off for Furozan and he was going to get a mission. A B rank mission none the less and he was going to get to work directly with Arcanis. He was excited to see the shinobi tasked with training him at his full strength, well, maybe his full strength. He was not exactly sure how much of a threat these bandits were, or if they were even bandits, their intel had been a little lacking. What Furo knew was that some men were planning to heist the bank of Kirigakure and that their base of operations was relatively close by.
 
Furozan sat atop a building across from the alleged base of operations and re-read the intel until it was memorized. He had arrived at the rendezvous point early to see if he could catch something that maybe the operatives had missed. He doubted he was going to be able to catch something the ninja who were specifically trained to do this type of thing would not notice but he could not just sit at home waiting. He was ready to get the show on the road and hopefully prove himself to Arcanis.
 
The scene was quite uneventful as barely anyone walked in or out throughout the day. This was most definitely done on purpose. If the intel was right then they would be launching their heist soon and he figured they were laying low and awaiting the opportunity to strike. He did feel a tinge of guilt as he had been on guard watching the bank multiple days now and he was afraid that maybe he had let a suspicious person pass through. It was something he had been thinking about a lot lately but he did not bring it up as he did not want to appear weak.
 
His eyes gazed straight ahead as he awaited Arc, and most likely, Rook to show up. Though he was calm on the outside he was definitely feeling nothing but excitement on the inside.

Furo felt a sense of relief that he was not expecting when Arc and Rook appeared beside him. He guessed the nervousness of the attack was weighing on him more than he initially thought. Which was to be expected since it was going to be his first all-out mission on his own. Having someone like Arcanis by his side was something that made him feel more stable and the fact that he did not seem nervous made him feel even more comfortable. Furo waved back at Rook and realized he was excited to see exactly what he was capable of. The nervousness was starting to wash away slowly. 

“Feeling good,” Furo said with confidence at Arc’s question. “Ready to show what I can do and prove myself.” That was the sentiment he seemed to be thrusting upon everyone lately. He was desperate to prove to everyone that he was not a failure and show his father that he was worth something. 

Furo listened intently to Arc and felt a tinge of guilt at his past actions as he mentioned not killing. Furo had a sense of ruthlessness about him that he had justified as necessary to being a ninja. Now, however, the way Arc spoke made him feel that maybe he had stepped out of line in the past? He had not hesitated to kill people and really did not give them the benefit of the doubt. He was not sure why but he had anticipated going in and slaughtering everyone inside. He was ashamed of that thought. The idea of doing this peacefully had never crossed his mind but now that it had there was a feeling of…. Disappointment? Was he really a ruthless and bloodthirsty killer who was more excited about the idea of killing than he was the mission? That was a thought he would have to digest later.

“Understood.” Furo said with authority as Arc finished. He did not let his desires be known as he was afraid that Arc would look upon him differently if he knew the truth. That was something he did not want as he wanted to impress Arc and Rook and he would do whatever he thought was needed in order to gain some sort of praise from the man. 

“There are multiple entryways,” Furo let the negative thoughts slip from his mind and decided to push forward with what he was good at. Strategy. “Obviously the front door would be worst entry point so I have identified a few other potential areas. The second floor windows appear to be monitored but only every thirty minutes or so. In the few hours I have been there I have seen men appear, glance around, and then leave. One of the windows would be the best way to enter if you asked me. If someone is there we can incapacitate and then slowly make our way through the building. My assumption is that they will have multiple guards posted around the building with a specific room with all of their plans. If they anticipate us coming then I bet they will have increased guards, especially at the front and the back of the building looking out at all possible entries. So if we can get in quietly, then in theory, we should be able to quickly move through the building and not set off any alarms.” He finished and then looked to Arc hoping that what he had come up with was a decent plan.

Furo nodded and felt a sense of pride swell up in him when Arc said good job. He pushed away the childish reaction to a simple compliment and then gave Arc the information he requested. Quickly, the three of them moved, and as stealthily as he could he followed after Arc. He kept the no killing concept in the back of his mind the entire time and would focus on not hurting anyone once they were inside. The three of them climbed up the building and then easily made it through the window and they all knelt quietly listening for sounds. He was watching Arc to study how he went about all of this and he was impressed at how calm he was. Furo tried his best to mimic the man because it had been working for him so why wouldn't it work for Furo? 

Arc signalled for Furo to take the lead and Furo nodded. They both had their weapons out which Furo thought was strange giving the no killing rule but he also took his out and wondered briefly how he would use it without killing. He guessed he could just bash someone over the back of the head with the hilt and hope it knocked them out? It was better, he guessed, to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. He slowly inched his head out into the hallway to take note of what he saw. It was a long, straight, hallway and to their right there was just a wall and to the left there was a set of stairs the went down. In front of the stairs were two guards in the middle of a conversation. There was also a door to their right. 

Furo ducked his head back in and he fished out the intel which came with a rough map of the building. It was an old hotel but the plans should have remained similar throughout the years. He looked over the map and traced from where he assumed they were and then he motioned for Arc and Rook to take a peak. "At the end of that hallways by the stairs," Furo said in a whisper to the two of them. "There is a door that leads up to the big room. VIP Suite I guess you could say. Two guards are out there right by the door which leads me to believe that on the other side of that door is the boss or leader." He smirked and he folded the map up and tucked it back into his flak jacket. 

He glanced around the room and saw a water faucet and he quickly moved over towards it and gently turned it on. Using the Tiger hand seal, a clone appeared, and using the Water Clone Jutsu technique he made a clone of himself. He turned the faucet off and returned to Arc. "We take out the two guards, we can send my clone down to scout the lower levels while we attack the main room. Once we take out their leaders quietly, we can then go to the lower levels and apprehend the rest of them. If we cut the head off of the snake it dies." He paused for a moment and then said "Metaphorically dies."
