The wind came in hard as it barged open the unlocked window. This action cause dray to wake up suddenly and look in the direction of the noise but upon turning his head, he found out that it was just the wind and the window.
He rubbed his eyes with his left hand and raised the bed sheets over himself. He got down from the bed and yawned a little as he also stretched his body. He sat on the edge of the bed and buried his face in his palm. Not for anything else but for the way which he had woken up. He knew when he had to wake up just like he had an inbuilt alarm but this window had spoilt his morning but dray did not seem to bother much. He got up from where he sat and headed down the stairs of his home. As he went down the stairs, he right leg dipped below as he quickly caught himself and saw that the stair was no longer strong as the wood used in making it was becoming weaker. Dray wondered how old the house was. When he came into iwagakure, he just happened to follow his imagination and through determination, he found the house made of wood and stone.

For the rest of the journey down the long stairs, dray placed his legs carefully to avoid falling. He got down the stairs safely and headed towards the kitchen. Walking past the living room, dray's eyes caught sight of the scroll on the table but he kept on walking for he was coming back to the scroll. He entered the spacious kitchen and made some coffee quickly. He poured the coffee from the coffee maker right into a mug cup as he picked some cookies and went back to the living room. With his usual calm look, he sat on the couch and looked straight at the scroll on the table while eating the cookie in his hand and drinking the warm coffee. Finishing it up, he stretched his hands forward and from where he sat, chakra strings ejected from his hand and latched unto the scroll that was on the table just few feets away. With a simple and effortless tug, the scroll was right in his palm.
He had found some secret scrolls in the basement of the abandoned house. The person who lived there probably wanted to eradicate some things that were not right.
He had a sort of freedom being on his own and he doubted if he would get that if he became a part of the village so for now, he was Zennyo Ryou as that is the one identity he has. He himself did not know what his name was like he did not know where he is from but he well remembered the dream he had at the borders of iwagakure and the man in the dream called him Zennyo Ryou meaning rising dragon.
Dray proceeded to open the mission scroll and he began to read it. Dray expected to see plain texts containing what he should do but the scroll's information was beautifully aligned in the scroll. It was made in a sort of mission.

Mission name:Take over a bandit group. He understood that he was to take over a bandit group, that was very clear.
Mission rank:B. What the mission rank meant was a bit confusing to him. They could have just gone with the usual easy, normal, hard classifications that everybody knew but it probably did not matter much.
Objective:To go in and defeat the leader in one on one combat. His objectice was to defeat their leader on a one on one combat. That would look easy if it was a person to person fight with no other person interferring. Perhaps, he would have a chance.
Location:Iwagakure. He knew where this was.
Dray was much glad with this particular piece of information even though his facial expression did not change because he actually needed some money to buy some equipments for his basement workshop and for that, he would surely complete this mission.
Mission description:There is a powerful bandit leader in the mountains. Defeat him to gain the loyalty of his followers and himself. And yes, this was it. The main piece he needed. Remove the roots and the plant would die. He was to defeat their boss in a person to person fight and the followers would surrender.
Dray cared not about what made them bandits or what they did as bandits but he well knew the meaning of the word "bandit" and another thing he knew was that he was going to complete this mission so that was enough for him but there was a problem. How was he going to get the leader of the bandits to fight him on a one on one. He knew not where they lived or where their base of operations were. They were hardly seen in daylight but still, dray was determined to find them and defeat their master.
Dray dressed up and left the abandoned house which was no longer abandoned as he had turned it to his home.
He walked into the streets and walked into a few inns, one after the other collecting information on the said bandits. He went on doing this for several hours until it was after noon but dray did not give up just yet. Finally, he found an inn. A very quiet one as he walked in. He walked up to the receptionist and made his enquiry. He did not detail them as bandit. He only said a group of people. The way he explained them made his information pass across without leting the female receptionist have any negative thoughts. She answered him just like the other receptionists or waiters in the previous inn had done. As dray turned to leave and go to another location where he could get useful information, an old man in a corner called him. Dray looked at the man and decided to answer. The man explained to him that he overheard dray's conversation with the receptionist and he knew what dray wanted and who he was looking for. He told him that the bandits do come to this inn at an odd hour and they leave very quickly like they did not come for any enjoyment at all so dray had to be quick if he had anything to do with them. Dray thanked the man and left the inn.

Back home, dray prepared himself with the deadliest of weapons he had which were but about ten kunais, five shurikens and twenty senbons. This basic and inferior weapons, coupled with his chakra strings, he knew what they were and how lethal they posed so it would be foolish for anyone to ignore them. Bringing along with him were pieces of bandages and scroll.
Before leaving his home, dray picked up a pieced of paper and wrote on it.. "I think your bandit group needs a better leader not a weakling like you. Meet me at the east, the cave across the narrow lake in the mountains........." He folded the paper and tucked it in. He had no idea why he had written those exact words but perhaps, if the leader read it, he would get mad and agree to meet dray in the cave.
Dray left home with this piece of paper and a sharp piece of thing metal much like a longer senbon that he had found in the basement workshop. This item was an equipment which he does use in his workshop and it was not meant for combat purpose rather, it was the only way dray would be able to convey his message without being caught. He walked at steady pace while calculating his time. He knew when the bandits would arrive as they mad had told him. Some metres away from the inn, dray hoped into the tree and waited for them. He would sure know a leader when he saw him. Waiting for a few minutes, somebody later showed. He came out of the shadows in the corner as he surveyed the area without drawing any unwanted attention. Waving his left hand, he motioned for someone to come forth. It was definetly a sign that the coast was clear. Another fella came out of the shadows while the first one went in. The second one did the same motioning style as he went in and another came out.

Still waiting calmly in the three, dray fixed his gaze on the scene that was unravelling before him. Finally, he saw a sparkle. This person looked more confident than the rest that had entered earlier. His silvery attire shone in the moonlight and behind him were two other person. Definetly, this was the leader of the bandit group and he was walking towards the entrance of the inn. Bringing out the piece of paper he had written on, dray swiftly folded it in such a way that it had a pointed tip allowing it to float through the air. Dray lauched the traingular shaped paper into the air as he activated his chakra strings and latched it unto the medium sized piece of metal he had brought along as he used the chakra strings to propel the metal after the piece of paper. The thin silver metal caught the paper right before the leader of the bandit entered the inn as the arrow pinned the piece of papper to the wooden door slightly missing the bandit leader's face.
Bullseye.. The leader kept his calm as he removed the stuck item and retrieved the message while the two persons at his back kept on guard and surveyed the area.

Dray had heard rumours that some bandits lived in the mountains thus why he had picked that location but that was a long time ago and he doubted if they were still there perhaps, these were the same bandits and if they truly were, they would sure have an advantage against him but he believed in himself. Dray left quietly and made his way to the mountains but upon getting to the cave, his moral dropped one level. He had taken the fastest route possible so why the bandits had gotten here before him was suprising.
"Welcome to our home"... the man dray had seen in shining attire would speak from where he was seated. Looking at it closely, dray could now see that the clothing was actually an armor covering from his neck down to his legs. Sitted around him were a total of six members with three distinct member probably holding posts in the group. As the man talked, dray kept observing him, looking for loop holes in him and how to get an advantage. It was clear that the man's armour though fully suited were joint pieces meaning that there were very very tiny openings at the joints were each piece met with the other but the openings were enough for senbons to hit and unfortunately, this opening happen to be where tendons were in the body and yet again, his head was fully unguarded.

"I challenge you to a one on one duel" the man would conclude as he would stand up from his self acclaimed leadership seat and spread his two hands sideways. To him would be brough a pike lance and a tower shield by two members of the group. The man would step forward as every other person would stand up and clear the area for a beautiful battle. "What do you have to prove your worth.." the man would ask dray as he would advance up to five metres away from dray...
"These..." dray would reply calmly as he would show the man his two palms trying to piss him off and make him lose concentration...
And so it would begin with the man charging forward with his land to cover the five metre gap but luckily for dray, the cave was about a fourty by fourty in length and breath so there was more than enough room for him to win this battle. Dray would dodge the lance to the side as the man would follow up his attack by swinging his shield sideways towards dray's neck but once again, the element of speed and reaction would do the trick.

Lengthing their gap up to five metres again, perfectly hidden in his inner sleeves, dray would withdraw eight senbons with four on each hand as he would start towards the man, covering a gap of three metres with the man also covering a one metre gap leaving just a metre gap between them, dray would get to just few inches before the man though out of the range of his lance as he would lauch four projectiles towards the man who would simply raise his shield as the senbons would fall to the ground but as he would do this, dray would simply slide between the open legs of the man who had shielded himself as dray would blow him right between his legs. The fact that the part between the man's legs was even a bit guarded would make it more painful as the armour would press against the man's testes causing him much pain as the man would bend and bring his knees together in pain followed by anger.
With swift speed, the man would thrust his lance forward right before dray could balance as this attack would catch him off guard costing him some blood on his left arm but that would not stop him from completing his mission.
Running forward, the man would chase behind him as dray would look at the solid rock before him. There was no escape now or so the man would think. Continuing on a straight line, dray would tap on the rock wall with his right leg as he would lauch himself into the air with the force and soar above the man, backwards. While in the air, dray would quickly withdraw four kunais from his waist as he had put them in a perfect spot that would not hinder their usage. With this four kunais in hand and being in an arc pattern over the man, dray would turn over as he would launch the four kunais directly behind the man's head that was unguarded but proving skillful, the man would bend his head as the kunai's would still deeply bruise his the back of his head around the part going down to his neck though he was lucky that the kunais did not stick in there.

Dray felt stable. He was gaining the edge but still, he was losing blood from the man's lance attack. With the man still regaining his stand, dray would rapidly bandage his arm with one of the bandages he had brought along. It was time to end this. The man had now stood properly facing dray with his lance pointed forward and his shield standing by. Pulling off his clothes in a confusing manner, dray would launch the clothe into the air as the clothe would give up all the senbons, shurikens and kunais that were hidden on it's insides with all the basic and useless weapons raining on the man but with a smirk, he would raise his shiel above his head with his left hand but of course, that was what dray wanted. Being only about seven metres away from the man and before the rain of projectiles fell on him, dray would activate his chakra strings as green threads would erupt from his finger tips. With one string from each finger making a total of ten, dray would grasp a combination of five senbons and five shurikens. As the man would confidently shield the weapons, dray would use the chakra strings to re direct the path of the controlled weapons as he would stick shuriken underneath the man's left arm as he had raised it in the process of shielding himself. Other projectiles would stick in the joints where each armour pieces met like his shoulders, his elbows, his waist, knees and the like of them. With this tiny weapons puncturing tiny painful holes on his skin and not knowing exactly where they were, the pain would be unbearable...

"How the might hath fallen..." Dray would say as the man would release his lance and shield and fall to his knees as the senbons would have pinned down one or two tendons in his legs making movement uneasy. "I truly am not worthy of leading this gang" the bandit leader would say as he would bend his head.. "Then, we will lead it..." The previous three that dray had earlier noticed would speak up as they would charge towards dray. Reconnecting the chakra strings to ten kunais, dray would lift up the weapons and direct it at one of them aiming for his forehead, his heart, his lower abdomen and other delicate parts as the weapons would hit him thereby taking him out of play. With the two still coming forward, the bandit leader that was on his knees would still manage to lift up his great pike as he would hurl it with great force towards one of the two bandits coming forward. Due to the speed, he would not be able to evade it in time as the lance would pierce through his clothing and hit his shoulder sending him crashing into the wall with it's force.
The last bandit seeing what had happen would stop in his tracks as he would perform some handseals and shoot out fireballs from his mouth and as dray would jump backwards, the bandit leader would lift up his shield to block the attack. With the bandit perform some other handseals and puffing his mouth like he had done earlier, dray would lift up a single senbon with his chakra string and stick it in the bandit's oesophagus as the bandit would hold his neck and fall to the ground. "I'm pretty sure I've disbanded this illegal group.." Dray would say as he would leave
