Sitting and pacing, watching and gazing this were all Takashi, an olive skin Shinobi the size and height of any normal teenager his age could do all day.  Though the sun was still high up in the sky and a calm breeze blew across every now and then. It was obvious to the young Shinobi that the day was good and gone. The sun was soon to set and the heat had begun to drop but yet his prey was no were insight. His quest to find a thief whose stature and position remained uncertain had been his drive for the day, but the mysterious treasure stealing thief was no were to be found.

Takashi, the purple eye Shinobi would watch a goat draw close by a sack of treasure kept along a closed down shed but well hidden out of sight. The Shinobi would let out a sigh with frustration and disappointment gradually welling up within him.  The sack was a trap purely left for his prey. Though not much, Takashi had hoped this would be enough to act as bait. The Shinobi’s thought would quickly reflect on how he had spent his day and how he ended up becoming so idle and depressed hidden out of sight and under the cover of  tree branches and leaves.

He would remember waking up to meet a bright and beautiful day full of energy and enough zeal to take on the world. A mission was all he planned for the day, and this was something he felt right.  However his choice of mission was now his source of idleness.  All he had to do was catch a thief and for that he had purposely let loose lines of rumors which exposed the location of a hidden treasure within the village, though this treasure were mostly borrowed ones which he promised to return as soon as the day runs out.  He couldn’t have predicted the treasure thief might not fall for the bait.

His line of thought quickly faded in deeper into what he could have achieved with the lost day, but this thought direction only lasted as long as it would take the ray of the sun to hit the ground. His attention was abruptly called back by a noise emitting from the location where he lay down the sack of treasure.

“This must be it” a figure would echo as he draws open the sack of bag to look at its content. “as expected all treasure would soon be mine and mine alone”.  Takashi would immediately let out a slight grin on seeing this as the joy of successfully luring out the prey fills him up. He would quietly peer through the tree leaves in an attempt to pinpoint his face or any other distinguishable trait, but this would appear daunting for him. The figure would be well clothed in a total black outfit making it hard to see anything other than his eye. Takashi would attempt to draw closer but the Shinobi would quickly take to the roof in a manner Takashi’s eye would barely follow.

“He is very fast” would be the only word the Hazel hair Shinobi would utter as he immediately rises to his feet and quickly follow up the thief. He would apply his fool speed in an attempt to maintain his track on the thief, and even though he would prefer to keep his distance in other not to alarm him. Not missing him would be his primary objective as every passing second reveals their difference in speed.

After a few more hours of constant running, jumping and scaling around the wilderness, Takashi eventually lost track of the thief. The sun was already down and gone and the path ahead unclear. The young Shinobi however didn’t waver in his resolve. He had already made up his mind to find the thief and that he would do no matter the cause. He quickly stopped by a lake side to rejuvenate himself while thoughts of what to do occupied him. After a few splash of water to the face and a few sips too, the Shinobi rose up from his squatting position with different ideas running through him.  He knew he was close by and decided to advance forward in a fast but cautious manner, losing him now meant losing his treasure which was not an option for the Shinobi.  

A few step along the “self-sacrifice” lake Takashi found the sign he had been looking for a beam of light emitted from a cave like hideout by the lake side. “That must be him” the Shinobi uttered as he drew closer to the source of light. With every step forward the resonating voice of the male thief would become clearer to Takashi. He would appear to be having some sort of merriment, as sounds of laughter and incessant mumbles echo out from the cave. Takashi would draw close enough to the entrance of the cave to see what he was so happy about. The pale thief still well covered in black would have a gold trey outlined with emerald beads on his hand. This was one of the Treasures Takashi had in his sack, the most valuable of them all. A closer look into to cave would immediately reveal other treasure many of which were more valuable than anything Takashi had set up as bait. The olive skinned would immediately wonder what he was planning to do with all this treasure.

“Is he planning to build an empire or maybe plot a coup with this much treasure that was always possibility”

Takashi quickly got the answer he needed as the thief quickly let out another cheer of praise for himself.

Mine, mine this are all mine,,,, my precious trophies….. hahahaha

No one is worthy of this,,,,,,,,,, no one but me….. hahahaha.

I shall keep you safe from the world,,,, you all belong to me now,,,,, all this  are mine….. hahahahaha.

The tone in his voice was that of a man under an enchantment or better still drunk with wine, but his movement around the cave and the carefully handling and placement of different treasures into different places showed he was quit sober.

Takashi withdrew his eye for a moment to take in a deep breath. It was clear to him who and what he was facing. It was nothing but a case of a man infatuated with treasures who was clearly faster than he was getting him would prove daunting but that was part of the jobs of being Shinobi. He quickly turned back to take another look when he suddenly stopped hearing his voice only to find a gold trey swinging over his face.

Takashi quickly made a squatting duck while he waved the dog hand-seal before placing both palms on the floor with the words “Doton: Sairento-ha gijutsu” simultaneously flowing through his lips. A silent shock wave would resonate a distance of 20 meters round Takashi, this would activate a sensory field for the young shinobi, giving him a wider range of awareness to avoid losing him or receiving any other form of surprise attack. The thief would have no idea of what happened but seeing the young boy wave a hand seal would cause him to panic and step back in other to avoid close contact. After a second of no noticeable effect he would only let out a smirk before pulling unto a rope which would immediately put into action different working mechanism that would end up tying up all the treasure in the cave into one big sack. “What do you want here boy did you lose your way?” He would comment as a way to buy more time for himself. Takashi would only stand to his feet before calmly replying him. "I am here to capture you and the treasure you’ve taking so far from Iwagakure".

The thief would cunningly draw closer to the sack of treasure while he laughs horrendously at Takashi’s comment. “You,, take back my treasures, you must be joking right?”. Looking back at the Shinobi he would see the seriousness and blood lust in his purple eye, which would give him an extra chill. “huh you’re really serious about this well then I invite you to try.”

Takashi would quickly dash forward towards the thief but would find himself running into a smoke cloud caused by a smoke bomb let loose by the thief. The thief would immediately lift the treasure sack and make his way out from the cave. Takashi would not see him move but tanks to the silent wave he activated he could tell just what part he took.

Without any more waste of time Takashi would quickly follow up and would be amaze to see the swift movement of the thief across the shallow stream, the heavy sack of treasure and the flow of the stream would do little to slow him down but this would give Takashi ample time to wave another hand-seal for a “Double Suicide Decapitation Technique”, which would cause him to sink into the earth and move forward with his pursuit.

The thief would turn back after he had successfully pushed his way through the 5 meter stream. he would then turn back to see no one following him, This would cause a smirk to creep up over his face once more before he turns forward to continue his race however before he would totally cover an extra 3 meters two hands belonging to Takashi would pear out of the earth and latch onto his foot. He would feel himself dragged into the earth with his face being the only thing that still remained above ground. His treasure which was once well placed over his right shoulder, would then drop very close to his right face after it had circled a couple of second in mid-air. “What’s this?” the thief would scream as he sees Takashi bounce out of the earth.
   
Takashi would not respond to this question and only go over the contents in the sack of treasure to make sure all the treasures were safe and sound.
“What are you doing with my treasure?,,,, Hands off them you shinobi, they all belong to me!" The thief would continuously rant.

Takashi would draw out a golden goblet from the sack which he would admire for a while before drawing over to the thief face in a squatting position.

"You say this are all yours right? Tell me your name and I might let you have them? If you don’t I will simply take everything back to the village with me and probably leave you here to rot."

The thief would find this hard to believe but considering his situation he would immediately comply with the hopes the Shinobi was only but a child who would have a change of heart and let him go.

My,,,, my name is Tura,,, Tura Rukara. You have to let me go, I will give you some of the treasure if you desire. I will give you half of it.

Takashi would smile at his statement before responding. “Well Tura you’re a hard man to find and even though I appreciate your tempting offer, I am ok with the price on your head. These treasures belong to the village and that’s where it will return”. Takashi would then smack him in the face with the goblet which would totally send him into an unconscious state.

With that done Takashi would quickly draw out the thief from the earth before tying him up. He would also pack up the whole treasure and fasten it to the back of the thief.
He would then head back to the village under the bright glow of the moon which would light his way till he reached the holding cell where he would then drop the thief off and collect his reward.
