[X] Action Plan: Civilian stuff

Oh, just noticed that this has neither explosions nor looting. Has my approval.
 
It occurs to me that the pretend to be delivery men part of the plan is an obvious link between our contact and the disappearance. Anyone have other ideas?
 
Why bother pretending anything at all? We're ninja. Be sneaky.

Shouldn't try being clever when we don't need to be.

e:

And if we really wanna be clever, then we can just approach him under the guise of wanting to be hired, request he approach us at a different location, and then KO him and his men there. We have no reason to approach him at the warehouse.

A delivery of a person sized box from his rival's warehouse just before the rival disappears.

We'd have to be moving at civilian speeds the whole way, and I doubt we have the deception scores to beat the awareness of everyone who sees us along the way.

I'm also not sure how common it is to deliver person sized crates without a cart, so that might also draw attention to us.

I mean, we don't have to bring him fully healthy (minus his unconscious state), right? Why not contort his body to fit inside a smaller box?

So, we deliver him in the dead of night?

I bet Noburi could cauterize him if we wanted to chop his limbs off

Yeah, that'd probably work, too. Do we know how far the warehouse is from our friendly contact's shop?

Hell no, not unless it is already. We're not waiting around that long.
 
Why don't we just kill him? Then stuff the body in a storage scroll?

We will get the poison any way and he'll wind up dead either way?

Yeah, I've been wondering that myself. Only reason I'd say is that it would mess with the team a bit, since we're immediately going to murder as the solution instead of mildly inconveniencing ourselves by delivering him alive.

That still leaves the issue that the last known shipment before he disappeared went to the rival who keeps a chakra snake as a pet.

So we bring multiple boxes and 'deliver' to other people, or leave town with the other boxes or something. Not hard.

I dislike killing people. :p

e: Also, we have characterized Hazou as caring about civilians as a whole. Unless we want a Dragon Ball: After the End-style psychotic break as a result of cognitive dissonance, I would not advise going against that.

I like the way you think.

[X] Action Plan: Civilian stuff
Complete the mission safely, unnoticed, and preferably without explosives.
  • Report to Minami.
    • Describe the potential mission to her.
    • Tell Noburi about the chakra poison and see if he thinks it's a thing that he would be interested in acquiring.
    • Brainstorm with whole team on plan. Accept critiques and suggestions, especially from Keiko and Minari.
  • If we get approval to take the mission:
    • Find where Shirakawa and his gang is located.
      • Make sure to wear facemasks to protect identities at all times. Use Henge to alter superficial features only (faces, scars, skin color?).
      • Use Minami's bloodline prism to scout from a distance. Let team see the intel.
      • Have Hazō use Earth Release: Living Roots to track people.
        • Work with Minami's bloodline to make Awareness checks pass easily.
      • Get a solid count of the number of people in his warehouse, as well as any traps, escape paths...
        • If we suspect any of them are ninja, abort mission and move on to the next location.
      • Locate any open windows/holes/etc..
    • Wait till we have successfully scouted the area to make our move.
      • Drop Misterators through an open window/hole.
        • If no hole is readily available have Akane pick the lock to a window.
        • If no windows exist cut a hole in the roof, or dig a hole through the ground.
      • Have Noburi drain everyone in the building to unconscious.
      • If anyone is not drained immediately engage them in combat. Use chakra boost.
      • Keiko, Minami, and Kagome stay outside to:
        • Prevent anyone from leaving without being taken care of.
        • Prevent anyone from entering the area and noticing what's going on.
    • Remove Misterator seals from the place.
    • Kill Shirakawa and take him back to the contact.
      • Put him in a storage scroll to keep him fresh enough for Bitey
      • Get the Snake Poison.
      • Buy Akane a piece of jewelry.
  • Move to the next contact.
    • Use Skywalkers, sleep in Skytowers, Hazou/Keiko meet contact. Same plan as what we did before.

Also Akane would not like that, and we'd lose like a lot of relationship points with her.
 
God damn it.

[X] Action Plan: Ninjas not murderers
Complete the mission safely, unnoticed, and preferably without explosives.
  • Ask the contact if, should we capture Shirakawa, he would be willing to intimidate rather than dispose of him.
    • In spite of our profession, death-dealing is not our preference.
    • Further, a contact in that gang for him would undoubtedly improve his position. Why not make for a mutually beneficial arrangement?
    • Browse a bit before we leave -- ask Keiko's opinion on which piece (of ones that catch Hazou's eye) to get for Akane.
  • Report to Minami.
    • Describe the potential mission to her.
    • Talk about the chakra poison; give Minami the chance to see if Noburi wants it first, and if she doesn't, ask Noburi and see if he thinks it's a thing that he would be interested in acquiring.
    • Brainstorm with whole team on plan. Accept critiques and suggestions, especially from Keiko and Minami.
    • There are two plans (which each have bifurcations) Hazou's come up with in how to approach acquiring Shiratora; suggest them both to Minami, with preference for the second for the fact that it involves less people. Leave the final decision to her.
  • If we get approval to take the mission:
    • Find where Shirakawa and his gang is located.
      • Make sure to wear facemasks to protect identities at all times and move stealthily the whole time. Everyone within combat engagement range. Use Henge to alter superficial features only (faces, scars, skin color?).
      • Use Skywalkers for stealth IFF confident in abilities to disguise their use.
      • Use Minami's bloodline prism to scout from a distance. Let team see the intel. She keeps overwatch for the mission, making sure that nothing goes FUBAR. Make sure she knows she's appreciated.
      • Have Hazō on top of the building, using Earth Release: Living Roots to track people.
        • Work with Minami's bloodline to make sure Hazou knows where everyone is [to allow Hazou to use both Awareness and Living Roots]
      • Get a solid count of the number of people in his warehouse, as well as any traps, escape paths, etc, watchguards, etc.
        • If we suspect any of them are ninja, abort mission and move on to the next location.
        • Because if there's chuunin, they are an unacceptable risk to engage for little reason and reward.
        • And if they're genin, then it's entirely possible there's a jounin sensei keeping watch.
      • Locate any open windows/holes/etc..
      • Silence Mine the area and escape routes.
      • If combat engagement is necessary, be prepared to come in from multiple angles.
    • Wait till we have successfully scouted the area to make our move.
    • Plan 1:
      • Either:
        • Drop Misterators through an open window/hole.
          • If no hole is readily available have Akane pick the lock to a window.
          • If no windows exist, work our way in through one of the doors or dig a hole through the ground.
        • Have Noburi drain everyone in the building to unconscious.
        • If anyone is not drained immediately engage them in combat. Use chakra boost.
        • Keiko, Minami, and Kagome stay outside to:
          • Prevent anyone from leaving without being taken care of. Preferably nonlethally.
          • Prevent anyone from entering the area and noticing what's going on. Preferably socially.
        • Remove Misterator seals from the place.
      • Or: [preference for this bifurcation for opsec reasons]
        • Knock the gang unconscious one by one in whatever order is appropriate for stealth's sake via water whip, if Minami or the team are concerned about how obvious misterators would be in the context.
        • If anyone is not drained, immediately engage.
        • Full team within combat engagement range.
        • Keiko, Minami, and Kagome stay outside to:
          • Prevent anyone from leaving without being taken care of. Preferably nonlethally.
          • Prevent anyone from entering the area and noticing what's going on. Preferably socially.
    • Plan 2:
      • Hazou approach under henge as a messenger, asks for Shiratora
        • His "employer", implied to be a ninja, requested secrecy in the delivery of the message.
        • If Shiratora accedes to this request, go somewhere no one else is where Noburi waits to drain him, with the rest of the team nearby ready to engage if necessary.
        • If he doesn't, tell him that his "employer" has heard that Shiratora is looking for someone to do a job and to meet at [predetermined alley here] within five minutes if he's interested.
          • When he arrives, drain him and anyone he's with, assuming Minami clears the area.
          • Everyone remain ready nearby to engage.
    • Capture Shirakawa and take him back to the contact.
      • Take Shirakawa in a crate through a predetermined back alley route -- Noburi and Akane carry the crate, with Noburi wearing the waterskin Kagome gave him in lieu of his barrel (Noburi to keep him unconscious, Akane for strength) -- away from where they came from. Silence mine the route beforehand.
        • When they need to cross the street, Minami sweeps for them with her prism, with Hazou, Keiko, and her making distractions
        • Once they're far enough away that it wouldn't be obvious where they came from, act as if they are couriers with a delivery for the contact.
      • Get the Snake Poison.
      • Purchase the piece Hazou picked out before.
  • Move to the next contact.
    • Use Skywalkers, sleep in Skytowers, Hazou/Keiko meet contact. Same plan as what we did before.
    • Use CCNJ with the team (when appropriate) in Minami's presence to acclimate her to its use.

I'm pretty sure the only reason our guy preferred to take him alive is that Bitey only eats fresh meat. If you don't want him dead, your plan should be to reject the mission entirely.

E: also, ninjas are murderers. It's pretty much their whole thing.

I figured that he was going to intimidate him with Bitey and let him go tbh. No reason not to want him dead if all he wanted was fresh meat.

Also, what faflec said.

You didn't quite modify it enough.

And he seemed to think freshly dead was as good as alive, so I don't think intimidation is what he's going for here.

I'd like to point out that our contact may have been compromised (like Hashimoto) and this Shirakawa guy is secretly a -insert enemy village nin here- trying to kill off more of Jiraiya's allies by pretending to be a civilian criminal. Or he's been turned, either/or.

Pointless paranoid speculation, when the answer is obvious.

A civilian taming a gigantic venomous chakra snake? Yeah, right! Obviously Orochimaru in disguise.
