*Pulling out the dai shuriken once more, Kiry looked to the man who had fallen, and heard the men coming up the steps.* "You good down there, Kenichi?" *After calling that out, he slowly walked backwards, giving the men time to come up the steps. He then purposefully backed himself into a corner.*

"Well guys, it's been fun, but I think it's about time we all part ways and look for some exciting new careers, out in the big world! Tah-tah!" *As he began to walk away, he pumped chakra through the pouch on his side, the one which contained all his kunai. He stepped onto the windowsill, and turned back to the men.* "Oh yeah, one mor-" *Before he even finished his sentence, he forced the chakra through the pouch and into all of his kunai. This was a jutsu he never really used, but it was definitely underestimated in power. This was his* ***Manipulated Attack Blades*** *Technique. He quickly outstretched his left arm as his right unbuckled the pouch, and all 10 of his kunai came flying out. Then, he would aim 2 at each of the 4 men coming towards him, with the other two kunai landing in his hands. As for where he was aiming, for each man one in the stomach, and one in the calf.*

*Kenichi watched as the men decided to dispose of him and sighed to himself. Now he had to go and hurt these poor men. Although Kenichi didn't mind a fight every now and then*

"Ya know, it's kind of rude to just kick someone out, someone should teach you some respect"

*Kenichi's façade of being a helpless boy was gone and now he looked much more like a ninja. Kenichi looks at the men and watches as the bigger man tries to grab him. Kenichi shakes his head as he ducks and aims a side kick at the man's knee, hoping to break it, and looks at the other man in the base level of the building*

"Listen, you can either fight me, or my friend upstairs. I don't like using anything but my fists, but my friend upstairs fights more dirty. I hear he has a nasty Genjutsu that makes people see their deepest fear. And while you are paralyzed he slits your throat with one of his many weapons"
Sachiko
The man running up the stairs would instantly freeze upon seeing his two friends bleeding out on the floor. His moment of confusion was more than enough to give Kiry the time he needed to launch his attack, his kunai easily finding their mark. The two men would fall to the floor, not in any condition to keep fighting. 

Downstairs, Big Guy and his friend didn't seem to be intimidated in the slightest by Kenichi's little threat. But as he went to kick out big guy's knee, the man wielding the dagger would lunge at him, his blade swinging forward to stab him in the stomach. Big guy on the other hand, would roar in pain, swinging a meaty fist at his face as he wobbled, trying to stay up right on one leg.

*Casually stepping over the bleeding bodies below him, Kiry sighed.* "Don't go to the light, there's plenty of it in the prison yard." *Giggling madly to himself, the blades still floating around him, he walked downstairs, only to see Kenichi being attacked by two more mercenaries. The blades spinning around him, Kiry sighed.* 

"Kenichi, didn't your mom ever tell you not to play with your food." *With a grin, Kiry pointed his kunai to the man with a dagger.* "A fellow knife enthusiast. Wanna see who's better at a sword fight?" *He then sent one of his floating kunai to knock the dagger off of it's course to Kenichi.*
Eloise
*Kenichi was slightly worried as the two men attacked him from different angles at the same time. Of course he could have handled it but thankfully Kiry bounded downstairs and saved him from the oncoming knife swing. Kenichi ducks the punch the big man throws and yells out-*

"You've had enough fun, these guys are mine!"

*Then, Kenichi aims to finish the fight in his next move. Kenichi pops up from ducking as the big mans follow through went over Kenichi's head and he jumps up, aiming a swift kick at the larger mans face. If the kick made contact the man would have to deal with a severely broken skull. However Kenichi didn't stop to see if it made contact as in the same motion also kicked the smaller man in the face. To Kiry it would look like Kenichi jumped into the air and did the splits*
Sachiko
Kiry's blade would indeed manage to knock the other man's dagger off target. He spun around, his back to the wall in order to keep both genin in his sight. He wasn't so sure about this fight any more...

With a now broken leg, the large man would be unable to move fast enough to dodge Kenichi's kick. Big Bois got a thick skull, but even he wouldn't be getting up for awhile after that hit. His other kick wouldnt find it's mark however, as the man had moved, startled by Kiry's appearance. Seeing as how this was looking like a losing battle, the dagger wielding man darted for the door in an attempt to escape.

*With a half-hearted sigh, he took the kunai he was holding, as the second one floated to join the other 8, and pointed at the back of the man. Those 9 kunai, along with the 10th that he just threw, all aimed for spots all across his back, deep enough to halt him, but not enough to make him die or anything so severe. He casually waved Kenichi back.* "Try to leave more of them alive next time, is what we need to take from this." *He assumed that by now one of the men upstairs would have bled out. It was just sad at this point.*
Eloise
*Kenichi sighed as he watched the kunai struck the man in the back. He fell down, clearly incapacitated. Kenichi shook his head and beckoned Kiry over*

"I think that handles it, all of them are in different states of death, lets just report this to the Military Police, they can handle the rest"

`This shall be the alleyway or whatever`

*Oh yes, a basic D-Rank mission. That was pretty much a chang from the hard training and the other missions he has been doing before that, and it also was kind of a nice distraction from the tournament that was coming up very, very soon. His excitement was great, even for his calm character*

*Anyway, it was time to catch some thieves. At least his mission was this. His partner? He didn't seem know her, or her name at least. Naoyuki was thinking about her name while he approached the meeting point in front of a building, leaning against the wall, waiting patiently for his partner*
Ina
He has been waiting at the meeting point for quite a while already. Yuzuki took a deep breath as she glanced over again. *....One more minute.* Just one more minute and she'll go. Yuzuki told herself that repeatedly as she tried to settle the rapid heartbeat pounding in her ears. She could already feel her ears heating up and her fingertips trembling.

She wasn't scared. It is the opposite, as a matter of fact. Yuzuki takes one last breath and musters her courage to take a step. Hiding her nervousness behind a carefree smile, Yuzuki approached him. She did a curtsy with her skirt and looked into his eyes.

*.....He must have not remembered her. But it's fine...* Yuzuki opens her trembling lips.

*"Please take good care of me, Shimura-sama."*
Janie
*Even though it took her so long, he was patient. For a D-Rank mission, he thought it was acceptable. He had closed his eyes and waited a while, thinking about a quick way to deal with the thieves. Killing wasn't an option, but that was fine.*

*After she finally arrived, Naoyuki opened his eyes and turned his head towards her. Oh... It was this girl! He remembered her from that one night. Now that was interesting. She wasn't a Genin back then, so she seemed to graduated from the academy since then. With a kind smile - as always - on his face, he bowed, returning her politeness*

"Hello. Yuzuki, wasn't it?"

*He straightened his back again, meeting her gaze*

"You can call me Naoyuki, it's fine. So, you know what our mission is?"
Ina
"Of course. Rank D. Capturing the thieves around the market. I have already gone ahead and done some research myself."

Yuzuki settled herself next to Naoyuki and leaned on the wall. She raised a head overhead to shield her eyes from the sun.

"There are a total of three members. Two men in their late twenties and one woman. It seems each of them came from the slum downtown. From what I heard... They are quite a formidable trio. One is strong, another is fast with their feet, and the last is the one in charge of the intelligent. Each of their escape are quite well-planned - tad ill-prepared however."
Janie
*Still looking at his partner, kind of thinking about what a coincidence this must be, he was listening to her. The more she told him about the mission, the more he was impressed. This girl sure knew her stuff... Nodding after she was done, he looked over to the people walking around here*

"Well, you sure are informed. I have to admit, more than me. They seem to be not as harmless as I thought, but that is no problem, eh?"

*Looking at her again, Naoyuki winked at her with a grin, then gave a chuckle. He pushed himself away from the wall and stretched his arms a bit*

"Then let us go and look for them. They should be around the market at this time of the day. Right?"

*He wanted to make sure if he was right, since she was the one with all the information it seems. And to make sure she knew everything*
Ina
She wants to capture his wink and chuckle forever into a camera if she could. But she can't, so she'll simply burn it into her memories.

"Around this time... They should be preparing for their next steal. The woman... Let's just call her Thief A for now for convenience. She usually distracts the guards with all sorts of items. There's smoke bombs, fireworks, or maybe just rampaging pigs. Since she is the one responsible for the other two's escape, we have to seal her movement first."

Yuzuki glanced over to Naoyuki.

"May I ask you to take on that role, Naoyuki... Sama?"
Janie
*So, she did knew that as well, and even more. Now he was really impressed. And interested in this girl. This shinobi knew much about such a simple mission... Now think about the future! Yeah, she seemed pretty clever*

*Naoyuki would listen to her quietly, trying to catch every single detail. So, that smart one was the main target basically. Nodding again, he opened his mouth*

"Of course you may. Consider it done. I've got a way to do this..."

*That one would be an easy one for him. He trusted that she would be able to deal with at least one of the other two. Can't expect much from a new Genin, after all. He will certainly aid her if he must, of course*
Ina
There is the saying, 'Everyone gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense'. In a sense, that is false. People can't read everything, listen to everything and take in everything even if they think they can. They unconsciously can't.

Most people don't want to spend their precious time listening and absorbing information that could be totally useless. 

Yuzuki is in the minority. Time is precious, of course. But so is information. She can't leak the smallest piece of information, because that may or may link to the cause of her death one day. Yes... Just like now.

Yuzuki fixed her gaze on his back as she followed behind him. Right now, they are heading towards the market. 

*......He got a bed hair.*

*The jacket is new too. The one from the same market she goes to?*

As such thought was crossing through her mind, her ears caught a particular sound. An ominous sound.

The crackling of the firework.
Janie
*He did know the value of the right information, but surely, he wasn't as... „obsessed" With it as Yuzuki seemed to be. Either way, as they were around the market now, he looked around. Before he could get an overview of everything though, he noticed the fireworks from further away*

„This must be her then. I'll get her. You try to get the other two, alright?"

*A quick glance towards her with a motivating smile, he then turned into paper, scattering and going towards the place where he assumed the firework, and thus, Thief A was. Letting the paper come together, he quickly used his Paper Binding technique to catch that thief as soon as Naoyuki realized that it was her, the „mastermind" Of the group*

*And yes, that jacket was new, as he needed a bigger one now*
Ina
The inside of the market was nosy. The panicking voices of the pedestrians and the words of caution from the guards are mixed together, it was difficult for her to pick up the voices she is looking for.

*Oh well.* She lightly shrugged as she slipped into the crowd.

Gradually, the inside of the market emptied out. Yuzuki expected there to be at least the guards around but, perhaps, they were busy evacuating the normal villagers. This made things a lot easier for her. Yuzuki softly smiled as she ambled.

Since he is around, she must take care of things gracefully... That being said, she is also grateful to the thieves. 

There are two men in front of her. From the back, one looks particularly muscular, while the other had notable strong legs. Yuzuki reached out and patted the shoulder of Thief B.

*"Huh? What—"*

Before he turned around fully, Yuzuki pulled him towards her by the collar. From the unexpected momentum, Thief B stumbled. During that instant, Yuzuki stuck his lower jaw with her elbow. The line delineating the chin is tad more fragile than others, thus a blow to the chin/lower jaw can cause a whiplash to the skull and result in a short circuit in the brain.

A quick knockout, basically. 

Yuzuki looked around. It seems Thief C has escaped. But it should be fine. There's guards around, and a crowd too. 

*"...Thank you."*

She said it to the unconscious thief who crumbled to the ground.

*"If not for you, I might have never gotten the chance to be this close with him again. So, thank you very much. ......As a reward, I'll make sure your prison life isn't as miserable and... I'll provide a house and food to your sickly mom in the slum."*

*And that is more than you could ever obtain through this illegal method.*
