"Jumping the Bandit Wagon"
Land of Fire
There's lots of missions to do these days, and most of them are fairly low key. One of these missions was no more than a bit of a patrol mixed with researching an area that was possibly being used as a base for some bandits! Stupid bandits, thinking they could do stuff in the Land of Fire! Oh well…Since the mission was not very big and the group was only supposed to spy on the bandits possible location they decided to send a group of Genin. Tatsuo had, somehow, been chosen to lead this wayward group and so he waits for them at the gates. Was he ready for this? Hope so cause it's not like he could say no. That wasn't part of being a shinobi. Grumble grumble.
COMBAT: Tatsuo focuses 2991 stamina to turn it into 4000 usable chakra!
Chiri isn't too late! She's jogging atleast. Coming up to the gate after her trip home to get ready and armed as it were, jogging from the Inuzuka village to the gate was certainly a trek. She's present, eyes up and smile cheery as ever, especially when she spies a Tatsuo and offers him a wave.
COMBAT: Tsuchiri focuses 1691 stamina to turn it into 1950 usable chakra!
Rushing along, Kajiru arrives with a jump, spin, and a skid to a stop by Tatsuo before she stands up straight and grins, "Hey!" She declares to the boy before she looks over at Tsuchiri. She smiles at her before nodding, "I'm here! We're ready! Who…we waitin' on?" She glances around before considering, "I wonder if the bandits will wanna fight real bad?"
Shinobu and Kame make their way up the path, both jogging to get there as a sort of warm up. Shinobu bows quickly to those present, then her gaze fixes onto Tatsuo. She gives him a small encouraging smile before Kame leaps into the Nara's arms for pets. Yip! ~You're leading us? This's exciting! I can't wait! Good luck!~ the pup barks.
COMBAT: Kajiru focuses 1253 stamina to turn it into 1450 usable chakra!
COMBAT: Shinobu focuses 1564 stamina to turn it into 2000 usable chakra!
Tatsuo catches Kame as she jumps into his arms and he gives her a few pets before he sets her down. "Um, yes I'll be leading. It's just a patrol and then checking to see if these bandits are really there. Um, and we aren't supposed to fight them Kajiru-chan, just to see if they are really there is all." He looks over the group. "Um, I think we're all here. So let's go…" he nods then turns and starts up into the trees so that they can get moving to where the patrol would begin at a fairly decent pace.

Chiri smiles at Kaji and 'nobu, offering them waves. Then Tatsuo speaks up, time to go! Chiri offers a salute, and follows just to the side of Tatsuo, idly scanning everything she passes on the way.. got to know the trails outside the village too, afterall.

Looking over at Shinobu, Kajiru waves, "hi!" She declares before blinking at Tatsuo and pouting, "Umm, just a patrol? We can't attack the bad guys even a little?" She hmms and peers at the boy before pouting and setting off, "Fine…" She shrugs even as she lets her senses sniff about for her.

Shinobu nods to Tatsuo's orders, and she takes the back of the patrol while Kame leads near Tatsuo. Both of them have their senses open as the team travels, sniffing and just looking around in general to make sure there's nothing amiss!
Once they reach the area to patrol Tatsuo signals over his shoulder and drops down to the ground below. "Okay, um…the bandits base would be two miles up ahead and then a half mile off the road. So we'll patrol until then and when we get there we'll go to check." So far at least there's nothing out of place. Kame and Shinobu would sent a couple of convoys before they come into view but Tatsuo just gives them a wave of greeting while they walk along. Boring? Pretty much! But not everything shinobi do is exciting you know!
When they reach the location that Tatsuo spoke of on the road itself he stops before turning to look back at the others. "Um, okay, we'll go in from here. Try and be as quiet as he can. If anyone senses anything then let me know, okay?" Tatsuo's own version of finding people is not as good as others, so he'll be relying on them. He turns to start off the road, moving quietly as he can…

Tsuchiri is bright and cheery as ever. She waves to the passersby and sighs.. boring is okay, rather, quiet and peaceful is okay. Gives ehr time to gather her thoughts and further her notes. She does slow her pace to quiet and center herself, again taking on to scanning the area.

Looking around as they move, when they arrive where they have to be stealthy, Kajiru simply nods and then pouts a little. She grumbles something lightly to herself about not getting to rip someone to shreds and then starts off. Even as she does, though, she keeps her senses active. She looks over at the others before looking ahead.

Shinobu would point out the carts up ahead when she noticed them, but they really didn't need it. She simply waved to them, and then carried on until the end. When they reached the bandit camp area, she and Kame grouped together and started sniffing around, cautious as they went and just keeping an eye on things in general.

As they traveled along everyone would be more observant than Tatsuo himself and start to see signs of the camp. The Inuzuka would of course smell fire in the air as well as unwashed bodies as they neared, while Kajiru would be spotting some tracks as they got closer. Tsuchiri would even spot some distant sentries though they looked like they were taking a nap at this point.
Chiri slowly lowers down. "Someone's on break." she murmurs. "There are definately people here, Tatsuo." eyes flicking to and fro quickly. "You said we need to report back about this being a hot spot, right?"

Looking down, Kajiru peers close and points it out, "Footprints." She nods her head and then looks to Tsuchiri and then forward, "Yep." She then considers, "There might be some not here." She gestures to the print, whispering, "Might be more out on their own patrol."

Shinobu tries to get a bit closer before she turns tail and goes back to Tatsuo. She uses Genjutsu to speak, trying to be as quiet as possible. 'There are definitely bandits up ahead… I smell fire… And yucky people. They probably haven't bathed in weeks.' she tells the team.
Tatsuo nods a little as he listens to what everyone else found while he, apparently is blind. "Um, that's good. We know they're here so we can report it back to the Village." He gives another nod. "Um, I guess we can just return to our patrol then." He turns to start going back.
But then Shinobu and Kame would hear something. Someone calling for help from within the bandits camp! It seems that the bandits had taken a wagon and were holding the owners captive!
Chiri nods to Tatsuo. "Right.. report." she murmurs. "Ready when you are." she attempts to remin quiet and conscious of her action.

Looking up when she hears that, she pouts and looks to Tatsuo and then at the area up ahead as she puts more chakra into her body. She then frowns at Tatsuo and then looks over, "We can't just report back." She whispers harshly and then takes a step toward the camp, slipping low to try to sneak up closer, ever so slowly.

Shinobu blinks a bit when they hear something. 'I think… someone's calling for help…' Shinobu tells the group, frowning. She tries to concentrate really hard. 'A few people… I think they have captives…' she tells the Nara with a big frown. Kame bares her teeth a bit, forcing back a growl from her throat because the pup knows they need to be quiet.
Tatsuo looks after Kajiru and prepares to call her back…but then he hears what Shinobu has to say. "Calling for help? Are you sure Shinobu-chan?" He asks, frowning as he looks after Kajiru. "Hai…alright, let's go. We can't leave captives here. We don't know if they'll still be here when a team comes back." He might get in trouble for this but…well, if they could save people he'd accept the punishment. He follows after the others, trying to move quietly after Kajiru so that they can reach a decent vantage point!

Tsuchiri pouts.. she doesn't like trouble. But she doesn't complain, instead she creeps just behind Nobu and Kaji, letting the superior trackers take the lead while she readies herself to engage.
Moving up with the others, she looks to Shinobu and then nods to her before looking to Tatsuo. She starts to transform immediately, her tail sprouting with her claws, teeth, and furry ears. She tries to suppress a low growl as she approaches the enemies and eyes the area ahead.
RP: Kajiru transforms into FIERCE-WOLVERINE.

Shinobu nodded to the question, then she followed Tatsuo, taking the lead to point him in the correction direction that her senses were telling her. Everything for her was on high alert. 'Up ahead…' she warns, focusing a bit more chakra when she sees the group of bandits (if she can see without being seen, that is!)
Tatsuo nods, then looks out over the camp from their vantage which is a small hill with some rocks. The bandits are all around a campfire, a good fifteen of them. In a makeshift cage is a man and woman with their daughter. The woman was the one calling for help but now she's silenced as one of the men throws something at her and threatens her with a look. The men are talking but he can't hear what they're saying. "Okay…Tsuchiri-chan, I want you to get the guards you saw, then come to the middle of the camp. Kajiru-chan, you'll be helping me with the majority of the group in the middle. Shinobu-chan and Kame-chan, I want you two to get those people out of the cage and to their wagon there, then come help us. Got it?" He looks over the group to make sure they understood. "Now watch where they are, because it's going to get hard to see…" Tatsuo makes a hand seal and a misty fog starts to settle over the area. Tatsuo keeps it a little clearer around himself so Kajiru could follow him while he knew Tsuchiri and Shinobu could find their targets. "Okay, go!" He starts moving towards the men, using the mist to hide and confuse the men.

Chiri nods turns about. "Hopefully one of us brought flares. Just in case." she murmurs before stalking back to the camp as she is. She's being more cautious than before, so she can not wake them up on her approach.. sleeping targets are easier to stab than awake ones.

Grinning, she nods to Tatsuo before racing forward suddenly. The mist comes around the area only to part briefly as a roar comes out that sounds like some kind of screeching wildcat. Out of the mist comes Kajiru attempting to slam down on to one of the men and rip him to shreds. Shock and awe are the names of this game even as Kajiru will look up at the others with a bloodied grin.

Shinobu makes her way forward, using scent to track down the cage when the mists come. She has to hunt around for the door, but eventually she would find it! Hopefully the people in the cage don't start shouting or anything to draw attention… That would defeat mist and stealth.
Well if Tsuchiri wanted the guards to stay asleep she waited too long! With Kajiru's roaring and running in it causes a flurry of motion and sound in the middle of the camp, including some shouts of alarm when the feral girl gives them a blood grin! The guards wake up and start looking around, confused at the mist. "What the buggy!" The ones in the camp pull out weapons to start whapping at Kajiru, some with daggers, others with staves! Meanwhile the folks in the cage are still frightened but when the demure Shinobu appears they aren't very startled luckily. Especially not when they notice the hitai-ate she wears! Yep, they're nice and quiet for her!
Tatsuo lets Kajiru go on the offensive close combat before he does his own attacks, lashing out with water imbued lances to strike out at two of the men in the center. The mist not only helps to hide them all, but it makes finding people much, much easier for Tatsuo!

Tsuchiri -groans-. Wheelit, now she has to.. fight and stuff. Her feathers quickly fan out and each one takes aim at a guard. They shatter their tips and fire the chakra shards off at the guards, then do so a second time before they replenish themselves. With both of her volleys out, Chiri makes a move to get some cover in the mist.

Getting hit, Kajiru bounces back and frowns as she is hit. She then starts looking around, "1…2…3…4…5…more than that…a lot…" She frowns and wipes blood from one of her wounds and slams her hand down, "Too many!" She declares and with a burst, a grizzly bear that is bigger than a polar bear roars in and stands up before looking around.
The bear nods his head as he looks at the area, "I see why you brought me…" He chuckles, "This'll be fun." He then flexes his claws, "Lets go!" He declares even as the girl rushes in and pounces toward her enemies and lets out a roar attempting to land on and maul one. Even as she does, the bear simply rushes through a group of three and as he does he attempts to send both paws clawing in a swiping arc inward to slash all three with those massive claws.

Shinobu continues to unlock the cage. Once she does that (she might just smash it open if things don't work out well >.>), the girl makes a few handseals. The men that are fighting would suddenly hear the howls of wolves, and said wolves would start ripping out throats… Of course, these wolves are illusory.

RPCOMBAT: Tsuchiri counters with STARDUST-RAY…44
The cage door opens with a bit of a creak but everyone is too distracted to do anything about that! The family would run out and over to their wagon. Luckily they knew where it was before the mist came through. The men in the center prepare to attack Kajiru and her bear but then some start hearing wolves out of nowhere! And then they start getting all torn up by wolves! Ahh! Oh wait, no they're just standing there as their minds play tricks. A few take water lances through their center of mass from Tatsuo as well while others fall to the giant bear slicing through them! Ouch!
Tatsuo lets the mist go now as most of the men are dead or frozen. He makes another head seal and brings out lots of little needles of water to smack into some of the frozen men. "Finish them up!" Yep, just kill them all. They're bandits, and they kidnapped people. He's already tired of them!
Well, now an armed person is charging Tsuchiri… which isn't really that cool, considering she wasn't armed herself. Before the guard can make contact, a flare of star chakra bursts from her arm and crashes into him. While the ray knocks him back she dashes forward with Kunai drawn from her vest and give him a nice bit of shanking, and ducking back towards the main group.

Looking at the situation, Kajiru grins as she continues to claw at another person, ripping them up even as her bear simply backhands away one of the remaining enemies and then palm strieks another. Getting up, Kajiru looks around and spits out…what could be part of this guy she just took down, "I think we did well." She states in a growly voice.
Meanwhile, Bureizu turns to look at Kajiru and points a little, "you have a little…something on your…" He then shakes his head, "Doubt you care." He reaches out and idly plucks a bit of something off of Kajiru's shoulder and tosses it away, "Crazy little wild girl." He chuckles.

Shinobu and Kame both crouch down to all fours, Kame sending a Genjutsu out before the pair both take off in a wild Tsuga. They would come together, slicing through the bandits that happen to remain standing after all is said and done.

As the mist finishes clearing the outcome of the skirmish is rather readily visible. All of the bandits lay motionless in various locations…and in various positions! Some cut in half, the one dude clutching his chest. Poor guy. The family peeks out of the wagon and is quick to thank the shinobi for their help, going so far as to offer them some candy from their wagon! After that they'd retrieve and re-hitch their horses before starting back on the road again.
Tatsuo, refusing said candy, looks over the dead with a small frown before shaking his head a bit. He'd have to tell the Village. Maybe they could send someone to clean it up. Once the wagon was again on it's way he'd lead the team back to the road and finish the patrol. Luckily nothing else happens and they get back to the village in one piece! Mission Complete!
Chiri pauses.. not quite heading to the battlefield yet. No, she walks back to the three guards and eyes them over. Three of her feathers align themselves for the guards, giving each one a reassuring double tap in firing her chakra feather-shards at their necks, making sure they don't get up for more trouble, and then heads back to the main group to leave.

Shinobu wipes some of the blood from her hands and mouth, panting just a bit after the battle. But she was successful, and it looks like everyone was okay! The girl let herself relax for a moment, then she moved to follow after Tatsuo so that they could get back to Konoha safe and sound… And so she could change her messy clothes!
