- Catch the Animal:
- Mission name: Catch the Animal
Mission rank: C
Objective: Catch the pet deer
Location: Konoha
Reward: 140
Mission description:A local animal has gone missing, and owner is too short handed to hunt it down. Find it.
Mission details: The animal in question is a family pet, and therefore totally tame, meaning it cannot survive in the wild. Capture it before nightfall. If it's not found by then, it will be eaten by wild dogs or some other horrible fate. You get to decide what animal you are catching.
Yet another mission for Bōei although this one was sure to be a bit easier than the previous boar hunting mission. All he had to do was to chase down some family's pet deer, a seemingly menial task. With his extensive knowledge of deer, he figured this would be a perfect mission for him as he understood their temperament and behavioral patterns which should make catching it relatively simple. As he walked through the southern forest, he kept his eyes and ears opening looking for any clue as to the whereabouts of the deer he was after. He knew he had to catch it relatively quickly as the forest was full of predators which would be its down fall should it be out after dark. From his estimates he figured he had about 2 hours left until nightfall.
He searched the ground floor for any clues as to where the deer had gone such as foot prints, broken leaves, or anything of the like. As he searched he noticed a small hoof print in the ground, with clean unbroken lines. "Fresh print...must be somewhere close," he muttered to himself. Upon further investigation, he uncovered more prints hidden underneath some foliage which appeared to have covered them with the help of the breeze blowing through the forest. Using the direction of the prints as clue he headed southwest following the prints as closely as possible. Remaining upwind, he tailed the tracks until they trailed off into a clearing. He jumped up into the tree to gain vantage point on his target should it be nearby in the clearing or otherwise.
As he scanned the clearing he spotted his target grazing in the corner. Realizing he could not afford to scare it and have it run off, he contemplated a plan to catch it quickly before it could notice. For the time being he was upwind of the deer so he was positive that it would not be able to smell him from his current vantage point but to capture it he would have to venture downwind temporarily to get close enough. "I'll catch it with my shadow prison then take it back. Should be easy enough..." he muttered under his breath.
