In a small ramen shop a Hidden Leaf ninja sat patiently. His auburn hair covered most of his profile as he slowly and deliberately ate his food. Sano Nara was probably one of the slowest eaters in existence. He loved to savor his food and never liked rushing a meal. The genin was also using this opportunity to converse with the locals and gather information. He had spoken to the owner of the shop, who warily gave him brief details on the recent crime in the village. Sano could tell the guy was wary, probably suspicious of the ninja staying in the village to act as a temporary police force. The Nara made sure not to push him for anything he didn't want to tell, the man was gracious enough to tell him all that he had. 

Sano wondered if the rest of his team would show up. He had told them he would be at the shop if they wanted to meet before introducing themselves to the genin of the other villages. Sano wasn't going to lie, he was weary of the other villages’ genin. Who knew if he could trust them or not. He had promised himself he would do everything to keep himself and his teammates safe, although they both were stronger than him. Either way, he had a few plans and tricks in case things went sideways. 

When the red haired shinobi was finally finished with his food he made she to pay the owner and give him a nice tip for the information. It seemed like there were no incredibly strong criminals at the moment. Just some bandits and pimps, nothing the ninja couldn't handle he was sure. Sano pushed through the curtain of the shop and stood outside, breathing in the less-than-fresh air. This place was a dump, sure the outside looked okay but there was something just [i]wrong[/i] with it. The genin leaned against the outside wall of the shop, watching people go about their day. He received his fair share of glares from some of the civilians. He guessed a hand full of people weren't too happy with the new police force. 

The Nara was minding his own business when a buff looking guy sauntered up to him. The guy was a couple years older and a good amount of inches taller than Sano. The guy looked angry, this wasn't going to be pleasant.

The guy came up and rudely poked at Sano’s chest. He glared at the genin and said, “Hey buddy, why don't you and your ninja friends get your asses out of here. We don't need your guys’ help the city is fine!” 

Sano sighed, it was his first day here, minding his own business, and he already managed to attract unwanted attention. 

[color=0076a3]“I’m sorry you feel that way, sir-”[/color] he spat the word “sir” out through slightly clenched teeth, annoyed. [color=0076a3]“But I am just following orders. What I can and cannot do isn't decided by me. I assure you we’ll do our best to adapt to the needs of your village.”[/color]

Apparently Mr. Tough Guy wasn't happy with that answer because he attempted to push Sano out of anger. The genin stumbled back a couple steps before regaining his balance. Oh yeah, he was kind of pissed by now. But he knew he couldn't hurt the guy, it would make the ninja look bad. 

“Just get the fuck outta here! You aren't welcome here!”

 Tough Guy bellowed. This time instead of shoving Sano he pulled out a nasty knife. It was large and rusted, Sano didn't even want to think of the billions of diseases that could have been fostered there. 

The Nara put his hands together to make the Rat sign, while simultaneously sending out his shadow and capturing Tough Guy in his Shadow Imitation Technique. 

[color=0076a3]“I’m sorry to make you do this, but I have no choice. I can't let you hurt me and I can't hurt you.”[/color]

Tough Guy’s face showed his confusion when he realized he couldn't move. 

“Wha-what did you do to me! Let me go you freak!”

Sano smirked slightly and replied, [color=0076a3]“here, I’ll let you see.”[/color]
Then he looked down at his shadow and Tough Guy copied him.

[color=0076a3]“I can send out my shadow to control people's movements, and you walked right into it. Now sorry about you knife, that’s gonna to have to go.”[/color]

Sano raised the same arm the Tough Guy had the knife in and Tough Guy copied him. Sano then made a throwing motion with his hand, since he had nothing in it nothing happened to him but Tough Guy launched his knife far into the woods. Looks like Tough Guy’s muscles were useful for something. Sano then released his technique, not wanting to waste chakra. [color=0076a3]“I suggest you leave now, you’re out matched, and I'm not even the strongest that occupy this village. Just go home, it's for the best,”[/color] Sano warned.

Tough Guy gulped and nodded, quickly speed-walking away as if he had never been there. Sano sighed, [color=0076a3]”What a drag…”[/color] (Had to)
