Maigo was given a task by the village to head into the casino and apprehend a possible cheater, given that she may be above the means for normal security to handle and jutsu prevent them from hardly detecting the suspect ever even being there. As he got his papers he waited to head to the casino that night, given some information on who to look out for, it seemed he would be looking for someone who was using ninjutsu and the likes to cheat the casino. As he approached the casino he decided to take a disguise of his own, using the transformation technique to impersonate an older gentlemen, around his 40's with brown hair and a goatee. He went in the casino and identified himself to the management and worked out an idea to pull out the culprit, he would keep an eye out for someone suspicious and then start using his own jutsu to beat them at their own game. Waiting for anyone suspicious at the entrance as he sat at the bar and waited, sipping on some tea and watching each patron entered and began to start figuring out who seemed suspicious. A few figures may have fit the bill but after keeping a short eye on them he deduced that they weren't who he was looking for, they ended up mostly not there for the casino and instead the bar or looking for somewhere to stay and others losing too much to be cheating. As he watched the people enter he saw a young girl, with the strangest eyes, that of a clan he thought only existed within Konohagakure. To be out all this way she would probably have some skill in jutsu meaning she would be his first target to investigate for the night, but as she passed into the crowd he lost her, she may have transformed into someone so he kept an eye on all the people in that huddle, five or six total people he would need to investigate before he could even cross one person off the list. But her transforming gave him enough suspicion already to add her to the list, gaining nothing more than her general size and her Hyuga background he made careful tabs of them all.

Maigo started by following two that split off and ended up at the poker table, a game Maigo would enjoy for it's competitiveness and the unknown factor constantly luring about. Taking the chips the manager gave him he headed to the game and began to play, watching the other two carefully for any suspicious movements that might signal ninjutsu or odd streaks of winning that may suggest something other than luck. Being said, after about 20 minutes of watching them, neither hit any streaks nor made any suspicious moves, he could safely cross them off and go to the next person that was apart of the grouping. Two of them took up shop at two different blackjack tables, he started at one, an older gentleman who was winning quite often and that's where Maigo would start, sitting right next to him at the table and keeping a very close eye on him. The other was a younger girl, she was taken off his suspect list as she wasn't playing but merely there and cheering her significant other on as they played together. Returning his attention to the other man, he noticed him slowly make a rat and snake seal under the table, this was his guy, he thanked the table and walked away keeping his eye on him. He turned in his chips at the manager and then went to the floor and kept an eye on the man, waiting for him to exit, a few hours would go by but he would finally follow him out of the casino with his winnings in tow, must've been a slow night for him because in the end, the payout wasn't really that great. Leaving the casino he entered an ally, a puff of smoke and the girl from earlier returned, there was no longer any doubt in his mind and he began to follow after her.

Calling out to her when he was behind her, he called her out for cheating, she seemed angered, someone had caught her and now it was time to bring her in. I'm not going so easily! she responded as she entered a fighting stance, Maigo quickly weaved jutsu and cast his Deceitful Clone genjutsu to fool her and keep her busy with a fake clone of himself. After several minutes of fighting a fake clone and wearing herself out, Maigo returned himself to his real self and reverted back to his proper form as the real Maigo. She seemed tired having exhausted several jutsu on the fake Maigo including one of the Hyuga brand taijutsu skills, seemed dangerous but Maigo knew to keep his distance on this one. As she began to waiver in stature, he quickly acted, doing his best to avoid her movements and get a few quick hits in. She hit the ground, fatigue was obviously running amuck after going against his illusionary clone for so long. He took out some rope and tied her hands behind her back and then began walking her back to the holding cells where much better care would be taken to prevent her escape. She didn't seem so bad in the end, more that she was just trying to get by and had the skills to help her cheat the system of that corrupt establishment. Maigo thought that given her age, experience, and it's non-severity that she wouldn't end up too bad and would probably even gain the chance to rebuild her life after. Mainly in an attempt to consol her as the pair headed back under Maigo's watchful eye. As he turned her into the precinct he left them the instructions and let them know of the abilities he had seen her use so they would know what to expect and then headed to the administration building to report the thief as apprehended.
