It wasn’t even over a day since he completed his last mission of assassinating a potential rebel threat against the village where he spent the last twenty years of his life – aside from the few months he had spent out of the village for one reason or another. Seiryū’s next chosen mission, for there was no one there to force him to take a mission, dealt with more than one individual, more than one person he would need to kill. To Seiryū, sometimes it didn’t make sense to him, trying to repay back as little as he could for the people he hurt, only to be going out and killing people instead. He supposed the reasons would remain logical, fathomable to the average civilian, yet in his mind it eluded him how the shinobi world managed to continue without causing severe distress for those who remained powerless against shinobi. Though, perhaps, those individuals would simply resort to other means, such as bringing in illegal goods from lands far away. Such was how Seiryū had found a mission enlisting assistance against a band of pirates, whom were found near the shores of Calatra, a large town composed mainly of civilians – traders and fishermen made up the majority of the population. As one of Sunagakure no Sato’s most important towns, as it provided the landlocked village with various trade routes, there was no doubt in Seiryū’s mind as to why the council had decided that the pirates needed to be dealt with, assuming they did intend to make Calatra their next target.
Seiryū was currently inside of a room he rented out in the local inn of Calatra, one of many. One benefit of taking the mission was that his expenses were covered by the council, as they figured that the mission could potentially take a few days and allowing the asset they sent to defend a town of importance at any time would be beneficial for all parties involved. Should the pirates happen to launch a surprise attack Seiryū would be within distance of going out to confront them, more so than he would be if he had to resort to camping outside of the village. Kaze no Kuni remained uniquely different from the other countries, for the lack of greenery made it so there weren’t too many places to hide out in the wilderness, and the limited amounts of forestry the possessed wasn’t thick enough to hide away in. In other words, he could’ve been hiding in plain sight, as secluded areas were difficult to come by, but not entirely impossible.
Seiryū grabbed his bow and the quiver which held his arrows, situation them on so he wouldn’t need to hold on to them while he was out. He had been here for a day already and there was no sign of the pirates closing in on the village, but the ship could be seen from the harbor, thus the threat being ever present. Seiryū had two options to go with, one was to directly run towards the ship and launch a solo crusade against them, though he had decided against it for the obvious reasons. One of which was that the boat was a few hundred yards away from shore, thus the time it would take Seiryū to run across the water and board the ship would be ample time for the pirates to prepare for his attack. The other option, the simpler one to go with, was to wait it out and counteract the pirates once they assaulted Calatra. He assumed the pirates would have no information about his presence and rightfully so, since his trip here was discreet enough, though the pirates would likely expect some form of resistance from the town itself.
Seiryū began to make his way out of the inn and towards the harbour, catching the eyes of numerous individuals due to his current equipment. It wasn’t a fargone conclusion that shinobi often visited the town, though with the situation at hand, he drew more attention from the civilians than he wished he would. He wouldn’t be their saviour, only the person carrying out the task for the major empire that ruled their lands. After all, he doubted the Daimyo would want Sunagakure no Sato to allow a town to be overrun with pirates when they could just as easily defend it with a limited amount of individuals committed to the task of Calatra’s protection.
