Black Market Search
At Minoru's sudden landing, the three thugs stopped in their tracks. It was clear none of them were expecting a shinobi to appear. The two with jitte grabbed their weapons, muscles tense, breaths held as they waited for her to make a move.
And waited.
....And waited.
The three exchanged confused glances. "You, uh . . . you okay?" The leader asked. "You do know putting on a mask suddenly doesn't let you do all those stunts you hear about in the stories, right?"
Ago's beetles would pick up on something odd about him.
He had chakra. It wasn't much, hardly an enticing meal, but it was still there.
"Market." She demanded, hands going threateningly towards her sword, and resting there.. "I am here to buy a much... larger blade."
"Are you now? We might know a thing or two about that." He cracked his neck. "See, I was a bit surprised by a ninja appearing in broad daylight like this. Funny thing is, my Pa was from that village; made real sure I knew what their hunters looked like. They don't wear animal masks like that." He tucked his staff into his belt. "So since you ain't one, let's have some fun yeah? You seem to be itching to draw that blade anyway. If yer still standing, maybe I'll tell you what you want."
He took a slow breath, pressing his hands together in the sign of the tiger.
One of his lackeys hesitated, "Boss, you ain't actually gonna-?"
Fire Release: Scattered Embers
A spray of smoldering embers shot from his mouth. Most scattered on the road between them, though a couple small ones struck Minoru head on. They were indeed real embers! The sharp pain was likely enough to undo her transformation.
From the lackeys' cheering, one would think he did the impossible. But many genin would be able to perform such a simple technique. With better results even.
And not be winded afterward.
He grabbed his staff and pulled, revealing the sword hidden inside. Minoru would see the blade was coated in liquid of some kind, droplets scattering in the air. Running at her, his sword brushed one of the embers left on the ground and the liquid ignited, flames climbing up the blade. His lackeys followed suit, also charging the genin with their weapons ready.
Ago2's trail would come to an end as the boy disappeared in a small shop. A simple butcher at first glance. Perhaps a bit small and run down looking for being even on the outskirts of such a bustling city. But relatively unassuming nonetheless. It wasn't long after he disappeared that the trio of thugs emerged and left to pick their fight with Minoru near the city gates.
Armed thugs working in a butcher shop?
Another oddity as a crow, the same one Kaen pursued, flew around to the back of the building and vanished. Investigating would reveal an open window, a perch not far inside. The crow seemed more interested in preening her feathers than the man looking over the scrap of paper. A small black feather hung from an earring. "Tatsuo, you said one of them had a sword?"
"Y-yeah, and some fancy clothes too."
The man hummed, pocketing the slip of paper. "You'd best get going. Before they show up. Too many swordsmen like to draw their blades before asking any questions. Old bastard better be right about this before someone gets killed."

Feel free to mop the floor with these three. Leader does have a little sword skill, and that blade will splash. But it's like a tai of 3 vs Minoru's 7. Mooks are like at a 1. So if Shikane and Ago wanna knock some heads together they're all open.![]() ![]() ![]() |
