The gathered intel reveals the Black Alligators have instigated the old blood feud between the elder gangs to keep them busy and hopefully wipe each other during the slum war. However, they intend to work together with the Steel Tooth for this. While the two gangs both have a lesser amount of members, they are notoriously dangerous. Kumogakure forces have high expectations of them succeeding in their plans if no one intervenes.

Since the organising gangs have several hideouts and smaller groups, Administration will be sending several teams to raid the hideouts all together. You will be in one of those teams, dealing with your own objectives. This meaning there is a high risk you'll run into several Black Alligator and Steel Tooth thugs before you'll have to face one of the leaders. Do not underestimate them.

Underworld Knowledge

• Backwater Bar
  one of the 'elder gangs'. General thugs and no-good brigands. All signs are lead to believe the current leader was recently killed by the Rusty Penny Cartel
  
• Rusty Penny Cartel
  one of the 'elder gangs'. Used to be a chain of slum shops, but has now 'retired' to a single popular bar to leave the streets to the younger gangs. Still holds sway in its own immediate surroundings. Main rival of the Backwater, and seemingly unaware of any assassinations.
  
• The Black Alligators
  Heavy criminals. Smuggling, drugs, weapons, murder, people traffic... if it has a name, they committed it.
  
• The Steel Tooth Terrors
  An elitist gang of cold-hearted thugs and assassins. Doesn't bother much with petty turf fights, but their brutal retribution is widely known in the slums.

Mission Description:
The gathered intel reveals the Black Alligators have instigated the old blood feud between the elder gangs to keep them busy and hopefully wipe each other out in a rekindled old war. However, they intend to work together with the Steel Tooth for this. While the two gangs both have a lesser amount of members, they are notoriously dangerous. Kumogakure forces have high expectations of them succeeding in their plans if no one intervenes.

Since the organising gangs have several hideouts and smaller groups, we'll be sending several teams for this (background fluff) to raid the hideouts all together. You will be in one of those teams, meaning you'll run into several Black Alligator and Steel Tooth thugs before you'll have to face one of the leaders. Do not underestimate them.

Mission Details:

Black Alligator NPCs:

- Stats: All stats at C-3 rank, with STR and END at B-2.
- Specs: Taijutsu and Bukijutsu (Onojutsu) at A rank

They dual wield daggers or shivs, and use hidden weapons and dirty tricks such as wire gloves, boot daggers, blinding powder, etc... They don't bother with puppet-kugutsu, but make plenty of use of wired traps and wires attached to thrown weapons to gain the advantage. All wires used are B rank chakra infused.
- Combat Style: Smart, strategical, quick and dirty. They are assassins firstly, meaning they always have a trick up their sleeve to regain control or gain the advantage.
