[center][b] Katsumi Fūryoku - ANBU Member, Kumogakure [/b] [b] The First Mission, Arrival at the Snow Country[/b][/center] After the hostile was restrained, Katsumi stood in front of him with her eyes narrowed and her arms crossed as she examined him. From her view, it was obvious he wasn't trained, which meant that this was a solo act with no order behind it. From how he was dressed, it looked like he had no further protection other than the loose clothes he had on, from that she could conclude that his attempt to steal the gift was rash and not prior planned. [b]"Please let me go, I swear that I wasn't going to harm anyone,"[/b] he pleaded with her, although he found compromise in her eyes. His shoulders slumped in defeat, his eyes on the ground and he shook his head. [b]"Do what you want to me, but I beg you to leave my family be, they have done nothing,"[/b] he said, looking up to meet her eyes. She could see the defeat in his eyes, the hopelessness in them and she decided to not kill him at that moment. [b]"Search him for weapons,"[/b] Katsumi ordered, as soon as she stopped talking the ANBU began to search him. Patting him down and checking his pockets for any hidden weapons, there was none. Before anyone could react, Katsumi struck the man and watched as he fell to the ground, his wife screamed. He wasn't dead, she knew where she hit him, it was hard enough to knock him out cold but not to kill him. She then turned to the family, pulling something out of her pocket, it looked like a packet of sorts. [b]"Take it, now"[/b] she ordered the mother and the small child. The mother didn't seem to trust it, but she did as told anyways, pouring half it contents into her mouth and swallowing. Then handed it to her child, who did the same as her hands shook. Within a few second of them having the contents in their system, it began to take affect. They looked exhausted, ready for sleep and soon they were making their way on shaky legs over to a tree, sitting down before their eyes closed. The sleep powder would keep them asleep for 24 hours, by then Katsumi and the team of ANBU would be in the Snow Country. Walking over to the man, she picked him up and set him next to his family. With that done, she ordered everyone to go back to their previously assigned positions and to get moving. A few minutes later, they were far enough away from the family when she looked back over her shoulder, she could no longer see them behind her. Fuyu, her owl summon, flew ahead to scout out the surroundings and report back. It wasn't long, before Fuyu sounded the all clear and they continued on like that for another five hours. Soon the docks were in view, they would take more than one boat. Stopping she gave the order to halt and turned to the team. [b]"Alright, the boats are big enough to carry at least a group of a six but with the gift being it's size, the number drops. I want a single team to board a boat with the gift, two boats a team aboard each one on the left and right of the boat with the gift. The last boat will be with the last team, the diplomat and myself. Do not get too far ahead and keep up,"[/b] Katsumi ordered them, meeting their eyes individually. Once that was said, they boarded the assigned boats and continued on towards the snow country that was now in view of them. About an hour later, they were at land and were beginning to get off the boats, both the diplomat and the gift secure. Forming back into the original positions that were assigned at the beginning of their travels, they finished the last few minutes of the journey to the Snow Country. Now, they had arrived. Katsumi walked with the ANBU team and the diplomat to the Daiymo's office and area of residency. [b]"Now it is on you, diplomat,"[/b] Katsumi ordered.
