Mission Title: Wanted: Aibori Kaguya
Mission Type: Event
Mission Location: Kusa no Kuni - The Grass Country
Shinobi Requirement: One per Village
Mission Rank: A
Mission Objective A: An internationally renowned criminal of high rank has made himself known once more. The former Jounin of Kirigakure, Aibori Kaguya, known for his remarkable abilities with Bone Manipulation, has mercilessly slaughtered an entire civilian village within the Grass Country. With the military of Kusa no Kuni already in shambles, the government has put out a hit on Aibori in order to have this A - Rank Nukenin captured or killed. A shinobi from each village will go out and try to bring an end to the criminal by force. Each Kage will send a single ninja to the Grass Country in order to have this nuisance of a nukenin attended to properly, with the Kage believing that a single ninja will be more than enough to have this nukenin captured or killed. Upon the discovery that other ninja have been sent out to capture or kill the same foe, the individual ninja may decide to team up as a three man squad to squash their foe with ease. The bounty reward will be shared out evenly, with the captured or dead body of the nukenin being delivered to a military outpost within Kusi no Kuni. This objective will see a reward of ten EXP added to additional funds to each individual provided the mission is carried out successfully.
Mission Objective B: If a three man squad is not formed, then a two man squad may instead be created between two village ninja in order to establish some form of support for one another. Two heads is better than one afterall. If on the occasion on a two man squad, the bounty reward will be split among themselves, though the one left out may find themselves lucky enough to kill or capture the nukenin by themselves and thus claim the entire bounty. With a bounty prize of thirty EXP being added to additional funds, the victors of the mission shall receive fifteen EXP each or the entire thirty EXP if the single person carries out the mission successfully.
Mission Objective C: In a possibly more likely scenario, the three individuals, wanting to claim the entire reward for themselves, have all decided to go at it alone and take the either alive or dead body of the nukenin to a military outpost within Kusa no Kuni. This objective will see the reward of thirty EXP added to additional funds to whoever takes the captured or deceased body of the Nukenin to the military outpost first.

Aibori Kaguya

Hisoka did not wait for a response from the genin because honestly he didn’t care what he had to say if he had to say anything at all. He quickly slammed his hands together to form several hand seals before several dozen pieces of paper swirled into the air from the pouches attached to his legs, frantically dancing in torrents before they came together to form a large bird - large enough to carry at least four three or four people. Hisoka realized that the unfamiliar terrain may hinder his ability to spot other shinobi before he spotted them. Also, from the air, Hisoka would easily be able to spot any Kumogakure shinobi specifically that might have decided to join in on the fun. Inoshi’s direct orders repeated in Hisoka's head as if reminding him why he was really on this mission. The rogue Kaguya was simply bait for the real motive behind Kirigakure’s involvement. As soon as the news of the rogue Kaguya in the Land of Grass entered Kirigakure, Inoshi had predicted that it was more than likely that shinobi from almost every major village would be sent out to find this man and collect the bounty placed on his head. He was not as interested in the bounty that would come from killing the man but rather in the shinobi from the other villages that may want the bounty. His interests specifically revolved around Kumogakure shinobi. Why? Hisoka had no idea. All he knew were his orders and that was to obtain any and all information regarding Kumogakure and to do so using whatever means necessary. It may or may not have been a mistake to tell Hisoka to use “whatever means necessary.” Then again, the things that Inoshi chose to do were rarely mistakes.

However, this information was above the Kirigakure genin’s clearance and was specifically covert. Therefore, as far as the genin knew, they were in the Land of Grass to kill and collect the bounty for Aibori Kaguya. What he didn’t know was that whether or not they complete that mission would not matter to the Mizukage. The Ryoku jounin steadily leaped onto the bird’s back before turning to update the genin. “I’m gunna try to get a better view from above. Good luck, Kid.” The majestic white wings of the large bird began to beat, causing the tall surrounding grass and plant life to bend and shake. Hisoka and the bird lifted off, leaving the genin on the ground to fend for himself. It only took a couple seconds for the bird to lift above the trees and into the blue skies. The bird lifted Hisoka around 40 meters in the air and continued to hover at that height around the area. Any normal human eye could not see very much detail from that height. However, Hisoka had hand crafted a device specifically for this kind of situation – The Range Finder. Closing one eye in order to allow the other eye to focus, Hisoka adjusted the Range Finder so that he could see anything and anyone on the ground in impressive detail.

It wasn’t long before he spotted a flash of red hair, occasionally becoming vibrant each time the sun had an opportunity to reflect off of it. It was a female, attempting to move stealthily through the terrain but obviously, like Hisoka and his genin, was very unfamiliar with it. She was using large boulders and tall grass in an attempt to hide herself. This was a smart plan for someone that was trying to hide from others on the ground. However, Hisoka had the advantageous position of seeing things from a bird’s-eye-view. Therefore, he was able to spot her much more easily than someone on the ground could. She must have been one of the shinobi that had found her way to the lake where Aibori was rumored to be. By using his Range Finder to zoom in closer on his red haired target, Hisoka was able to see her in a little more detail. Carved into her shinobi headband was the unique symbol belonging to Kumogakure – the village hidden in the clouds. Hisoka smirked. “Perfect,” he muttered in a low, arrogant voice. “That was too easy.” Now, how was he going to “get information” like Inoshi had requested? He was certainly not going to swoop down and shout a friendly hello. This shinobi was sent alone to kill an A rank Kaguya so he was guessing that she was probably highly trained and very skilled. Besides, Hisoka was not the best with words so persuasion or comradery was out of the question. Inoshi was the one that dealt with that sort of thing; so Inoshi would have to deal with this as well.

The large white bird targeted the girl and swooped down toward her. As he got close enough to his target, Hisoka lifted his hands bringing forth a flurry of paper to swirl around the girl. There were several dozen pieces surrounding her and they moved very fast, which would make it very difficult for her see and/or react. Mixed in with this blizzard were 34 exploding notes. The paper would begin by surrounding her in a wide circle before quickly closing in on her, making it more difficult to escape. 30 of the explosive notes would suddenly form into an exact replica of Hisoka directly behind her - the rest of the explosive notes were planted under the clone's clothes as to remain unseen. With movements that exceeded even Hisoka’s own speed, his clone would slam the blunt edge of his blade into the back of the Kumo woman’s head. The impact would be more than enough to knock her out cold. Just as her body would be going limp and falling to the ground from the impact Hisoka’s bird would swoop down and grasp her limp body in its large pelican-like mouth. “Welcome aboard.” Hisoka's cocky words would seep from a satisfactory grin.

Justu/Weaponry:

Lifting back into their position in the sky, Hisoka and his large paper bird returned to their comfortable hovering height of about 40 meters. Hisoka then remembered the genin that he had left. Might as well go check on the brat. The white haired man rolled his eyes and traveled in the direction where he had left him. Little did he know, the real genin was still back at the small grass village and the one that he had left behind belonged to his target. Holding the red haired girl in his mouth, the large white bird rode the wind slowly and quietly. Meanwhile, the clone of the Ryoku man acted as the eyes on the ground, following the bird's movement and staying in range so as not to disperse. Having the clone allowed him to be able to cover both short range and long range with attacks from the ground as well as attacks from above. Hisoka silently applauded his cleverness with an over-confident smirk. He almost felt sorry for the next poor fucker that got in his way.

If the Kumogakure ninja was here, there were most likely others close by as well; not to mention Aibori Kaguya was most likely tooling around somewhere close. Although Aibori was not necessarily the main objective of Hisoka's mission that did not imply that he had no intention of collecting the bounty. Hisoka still had plenty of fight left in him after dealing with the Kumogakure shinobi. Bringing home a hefty bounty would mean more to brag about. Also, Hisoka would get the opportunity to kill a Kaguya first hand - something he had been dying to do for a long time. He craved the adrenaline high that a challenge provided like a drug. He craved to prove that he was more than capable of taking down any threat in his path.

Hisoka’s paper clone moved quickly but quietly through the terrain, keeping its golden demon-like eyes peeled on the environment around him; senses crawling with definition, trying to pick up even the slightest abnormality. Meanwhile, the actual Hisoka observed the grounds below in detail with the help of his Range Finder, trying to pick up on anything out of the ordinary. Hisoka did not know it, but by returning to the genin, he was getting closer to Aibori.

The clone pushed through some tall grass before stepping into the shaded clearing where he had left the genin. Of course, the genius was still standing in the exact same place that he was when Hisoka had left. This kid was obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. Hisoka’s clone raised his eyebrows, mocking the boy with disappointment and judgment as he approached him. “What are you still doing here? You get too scared and decide to hide out? Some shinobi you are. How about you actually make yourself useful and help me find this pussy Kaguya. You got any ideas on where to look first, genius?”

((Sorry it's so short. Not sure what to do since you guys are hiding. >< Also, sorry for the wait. Didn't know that I was suppose to post until today cuz I was busy with holiday things yesterday.))

Before Hisoka's clone could wait impatiently for the genin to answer he heard a deep hum of torrential air collecting behind him. The brush rustled violently in reaction. This was no ordinary breeze that was blowing through. No, this had to be something dangerous. Did the coward of a Kaguya finally decide to throw an attack? Or was this yet another shinobi looking for his bounty? The clone, not really caring what happened to the genin, made no conscious effort to protect him. He hoped that he was at least smart enough to dodge whatever it was that was coming their way. If not, he wasn't worthy of carrying the title of Kirigakure shinobi in the first place. The paper clone, being faster even then its owner, reacted quickly to the threat. Jumping into a tree to his left the clone barely evaded the attack. He landed in a crouched position on one of branches as the wind blade that was supposed to hit him went barreling through the tall grass and into a tree. The clone briefly glanced at the genin to see what had become of him. The wind attack had sliced through the fake genin before it dispersed into water. A fake? Damnit! How did I miss that?! Hisoka scowled. He didn't have time to think about the genin now. He had a much more important matter on his hands now.

When the attack was fired through the tall grass, its destructive power heavily disturbed the surrounding plant life leaving an obvious imprint of where it had come from. The shinobi in the shadows had just given themselves away. Now that he knew where to look, Hisoka could spot subtle movement through the thinnest part of leaves that covered the path that they were traveling - the area between the two trees that they were moving between. He could only have done this with the help of his Range Finder that allowed him to see incredible detail from far distances. The battle hungry grin that defined the Ryoku stretched across his face. "You're mine now, bitch," the real Hisoka muttered from his areal position as he and his bird continued to circle the fight, keeping an eye on what went on below.

Effects from the wind attack caused the surrounding plant life to rustle and crack. The tree that had been in the wind blade's path bellowed a deep crack before falling to the ground. Hisoka's clone used the noise of the surrounding environment to cover any brief noises of his movement from the tree that he was on to the one a few meters ahead of him which was in the general direction that the real Hisoka had spotted the person moving. The moment that the clone had chosen to move was not long after the wind blade had been fired and therefore the attacker would have been looking away briefly in preparation to change locations. He moved carefully keeping his footsteps extremely light and making sure not to disturb the environment around him as to keep from warning his enemy of where he was. A surprise attack is the best way to get the upper hand in the beginning of a battle. Because the clone was made up completely of paper, it was much lighter than the average human, making moving quickly and quietly much easier. From his position in the trees, he hoped that he could better see where exactly the cowardly kunoichi was headed in the tall grass. However, as he looked down, he realized that this tree was in fact where they were heading. The clone was crouched on a branch only about 12 meters above his target - just far enough away so as not to be noticed but just close enough to do some damage. However, his target was not the white haired Kaguya that he was expecting but rather a raven haired female kunoichi from the leaf village.

The clone kept itself hidden in the shadows of the tree. "This turned out to be quite the party." The real Hisoka muttered arrogant words from his position in the sky, almost laughing to himself about how predictable it all was. "Inoshi was right. Guess I'll have to finish them all off." The 34 explosive tags that made up Hisoka's clone quickly peeled away, layer by layer, until all that remained was a collection of explosive seals now at Hisoka's disposal.

In less than a second, 25 of the 34 the explosive notes would be inches away from the girl below - allowing no time for hand seals or even a reaction other than a sudden gasp, a surprised look, a moment of realization. The remaining 9 explosive notes would travel back up to Hisoka atop his bird so that they would not get caught in the blast and he would still have access to some of his explosive notes. 20 of the 25 explosive notes would surround her directly, trapping her against the tree that she once thought of as safe, while the remaining 5 would create an evenly spaced barricade about 3 feet away from her and the other tags, covering every base of escape. Hisoka was not the kind to feel remorse for taking the life of an enemy. He was a solider, a shinobi. He had killed and watched others be killed too many times to remember what remorse really felt like. However, that didn't stop his conscience from trying to justify his actions. It was her choice. She had thrown the first attack. And now she was going to pay for it. Since only 3 explosive notes could be detonated at a time, Hisoka had to choose wisely. The moment that the tags were in place 2 of the 5 on the outside and 1 of the 20 only inches away from her detonated. This would create the desired chain effect of explosions that Hisoka planned for. The additional 5 tags on the outside were more of insurance than anything else. 20 explosive tags were enough to obliterate a human body. If Kimiko were able to somehow dodge the paper and find a way out, Hisoka would not detonate the explosive tags and instead plot a different move.

The seated position that she was in when the attack had originally ensued would make it much more difficult for her to react with much haste. If the attack was indeed a success, she would be extremely lucky to be alive, let alone in one piece. "That's what you get for fucking with Hisoka Ryoku, little whore."

Hisoka noticed a man with long white hair dart from the brush, grabbing the genin that was some distance away from the Konoha jounin. Hisoka instantly recognized the signature markings and long white hair of the Kaguya. The slinky bastard had finally shown himself.
