Mission Details: A rich man has hired a couple of crooked ninja's to help do his dirty work for him. Capturing young children to work as slaves for him as they grow up. Once you find the location of where they're held captive, you'll find that it's relatively heavily guarded. Releasing the captives through stealth or brute force. At one point or another, you'll be forced to engage with some of the guards. In total there are 15 guards in the building, at least 5 have to be encountered. They all possess an average of B-0 in their stats, two specializations of A-rank and a single element of A-rank. They possess jutsu for their corresponding specs and elements. Further, they're not beyond doing the cruelest of things to get their tasks complete, even if that means killing the captives.

"There has been an increase in kidnappings in the recent days since the former Mizukage's disappearance, we are asking that if anyone has seen suspicious behavior or has any clue that might help us find these children please come find one of the Jōnin at once. There are a lot of families that just want to see their children returned to them safely."

The announcement came over the radio in the early morning, though Ruvaak had heard the same message for the past couple of days. It seems that like all the other low life's that he had dealt with in the recent days, whoever was kidnapping these kids was taking advantage of the villages current dilemma of the change of power. Ruvaak would let out a sigh of disappointment, why did he have to have such a soft spot when it came to kids. If the situation was someone going around and murdering Shinobi or what have you he wouldn't even care, it was not his problem. Shinobi should be capable of defending themselves and if they could not then it was their own fault, but children, children are innocent and should not be drawn into this mess. It was obvious by the fact that the announcement broadcasted every hour that the authorities had no leads, and was making no progress. Ruvaak looked to the papers scattered across the desk in his room, even the information on them seemed to lead to no where. Ruvaak had thought for certain that his Keen eye sight could have picked up something that the authorities had missed, which was why he had snuck into the administration building and stolen a copy of all the reports of the kidnappings. The only problem was that there was no information that helped in the tracking of the kids, nothing that linked the missing kids together, and they all disappeared from different locations. The male had been racking his brain over this all night, and still he was no closer to finding a clue as to what has happened to the missing kids. Ruvaak rubbed his eyes with his hand, there was only one thing left to do. He was going to have to go to the scene where the last kid was taken and see if he could pick up the trail, though it was doubtful considering it had been two days already.

Ruvaak would head out the door of his house and head straight for the edge of the village, the last kid was taken from the edge of the Forest of Silence that surrounded the west side of the village.
