「”We know you just got back from the Water Country, and that you’re a tad overqualified for this task...” Takao’s eyes narrowed on the man who sat comfortably behind his desk, shuffling through stacks of papers in a fruitless attempt to look busier than he was. The dark-haired shinobi stood mere feet from him, watching him with a cold, quiet, unwavering gaze. “...But the targets of his mission have fled from the Fire Country and landed on foreign soil. Although they are our allies, the client has claimed that acting through the proper channels will upset the kidnappers, and thus as requested a great deal of…” “Discretion.” Takao cut him off. His glove-clad hand dismissively rubbed at his ear to demonstrate how the supposed seriousness of the task didn’t faze him. “I get it. Get the kid, eliminate the targets, don’t let Big Brother Kirigakure hear me playing in his room on the way out. Anything else?” The man at the desk looked wholly unimpressed with Takao’s laissez faire demeanor. “Ah… Yes… The description of the girl… She is described as having white hair, dark of skin, heterochromia in the eyes” As the man droned on in excessive detail, Takao’s eyes glazed over, and his attention drifted toward the distant window. “Hey ... Hello! ... Are you even listening to me?!” The sharp voice of the man caught his attention and tore it from the window. “Did you listen to a single thing I just said?” “Yup, got it all in here,” Takao said as he pointed at his head. Dark skin, white hair, in the company of an unknown number of targets, it seemed like a unique enough situation that whatever details he missed out on wouldn’t be important enough to warrant the man’s nasally voice assaulting his ears. Still unimpressed, the man’s glare did not escape Takao’s attention. “Relax. I’ve done this kind of thing before. I’ll be in and out before the sun’s up, and the Mist’s braindead Black Ops won’t even notice a blade of grass out of place.” Takao’s confidence in the matter shone through in his words, although it appeared as though the man was unconvinced. Regardless of his belief in the former Hokage’s words, his track record was clean enough to warrant blind faith, if only this one time. As his gaze traveled down Takao’s figure, taking in the unseemly attire that consisted of shinobi slacks tucked into boots, a jacket around his waist, and a black tank-top acting as the only article covering his torso, he mentally remarked that professionalism was certainly not a priority. “Fine. At your leisure.” He said, waving Takao off, who offered a sarcastic half-bow on his way out of the office. A calm, bitter night had enveloped the Land of Water. Knee-high haze danced across the still Dankness draped over the Bloody Mist. Trained shinobi and clueless pedestrians alike would remark that such a night hid terrors in the shadows, waiting to leap from their chance to leap at just the right passing victim. Yet nothing that went bump in the night were not obscured from his eyes, no matter how well they cowered in their shadows. The eerie, warm glow of his eyes revealed everything to him, in the form of a kilometer-long field of heat. “Doesn’t help much with the description, but…” Takao mused to himself within the safety of his head as he leapt from tree to tree beneath the canopy, the sound of his movements dampened in their entirety to make his advance akin to a gentle breeze through the Water Country’s forests. He had taken to the search for just under an hour, scouring the vast water-logged woodlands of Mizu no Kuni in search for his targets. “Can’t be too many groups of people hanging around here--... and speaking of…” His gaze settled upon a conglomeration of heat in the distance, which he could pick out at six distinct individuals. Five male, one female, and just enough of a coincidence to earn his confidence in this group holding his quarry. It was clear that the female was held against her will, or at least Takao had inferred such from the obscure context of a wordless, distant gaze. The five had opted to set up camp; two were asleep, two sat by the fire, and one lingered near the girl, presumably to ensure cooperation or lack of escape at the very least. With reckless haste, Takao closed the distance between his starting point and his destination in negligible time. He landed with an intentionally hollow thud on the vertical surface of a nearby tree. “Check out this motley crew of degenerates.” Takao’s mocking tone rumbled in his chest and echoed clearly in the silence of night as his cold, black-eyed gaze settled upon the group. The chakra in his feet disappeared at will and he slid from the surface of the tree, falling and landing on his feet with a heavy thud at the base. His presence alerted the two sitting by the fire first, then the third that lingered near the girl, and their shouting awoke the slumbering two who came stumbling from the tent with haste, and all turned to face Takao with weapons in hand. “I had good luck finding you mooks, so why don’t we keep the ball rolling; hand over the girl, and you five walk away in one piece. Sounds like a good trade, yeah? Whadaya say?” He said, gesturing with his hands as he spoke. A wry smile wound the corners of his mouth into his cheeks as their response of expletives and mocking was as expected. The five of them laughed, and Takao joined in. “I was hoping you’d pick the hard way.”」 |
