Himitsu looked over the map he'd pinned to the corkboard in his study, dozens of tiny red marks with a few stray blue ones in the mix. He stood there quietly for a moment before a tiny grizzly bear came barreling into the cavern study. With a grin the bear held a scroll aloft for the Uchiha. Himi smiled, took the scroll, and patted the bear on the head. "Thanks, Grizz. You rock. I wanna get back to this, but you know you've got free reign here. Fridge is stocked!" The bear cheered and took off again, the sound of clinking and shuffling confirming he'd headed straight for the kitchen.
Eager to check his assumptions, he unrolled the document and reviewed the information. Another string of coast centric disappearances and deaths to the south. Once again the few vague descriptions collected lined up. And they were all within the area Himitsu had anticipated. Himitsu grabbed his jacket and Bear Scroll, scrawled a note, and made for the cave entrance. "Alright, Grizz I'm heading out for a while. Run the note on the table to Sadayo, then just don't let anyone mess with anything while I'm gone!" A muffled grunt of a response came from the bear's full mouth before Himi was out of earshot.
A few minutes later, Himitsu was hopping around rooftops in search of one of his students. It took a few minutes, but eventually he was able to track him down. As Hitoshi Hoshigaki strolled down the cobbled street, Himitsu dropped straight down from a rooftop and landed on his feet directly in front of the genin, wide smile on his face. "Hey, Fish Stick! Got a job for you! Let's roll!"

Hitoshi Hoshigaki
He'd been having a good day.
Training with his mother had gone well. Since she adopted him, she'd progressed from a Chuunin to a valued Jounin of the village. Hitoshi was still only a Genin himself but, according to her at least, he was quickly catching up to her in strength. He wasn't so sure about that himself though. It certainly didn't feel that way when she was consistently able to beat him down every time the two fought, and she was only getting fiercer as he got "stronger". At the very least, he'd managed to land a hit, so the day really hadn't been so bad after all. She'd treated him to lunch at his favorite sushi place, and now Hitoshi was on his way to the academy training grounds to see if he could find Ichigo, and see how her and Kuminari's training was going.
Yes, today really was shaping up to be a good one.
But then he had to show up. Himitsu appeared in front of him from seemingly out of nowhere, and before he even opened his mouth Hitoshi knew what he was going to call him. "You know I loathe that nickname." Hitoshi sighed. He'd been called worse, of course. Monster, demon, horrible names like that. Where he came from, someone who looked as different from the norm as he did weren't exactly appreciated. Hitoshi just wished he could have received at least some respect from the man who was supposed to be his squad leader. Himitsu was a strong shinobi, however, and Hitoshi was certain he would learn a lot from the man, so he tried not to complain too much. The promise of a job was also intriguing, so he chose to focus on that and let the dumb nickname go for the moment. "I won't say no to a job with you and the others though, but I'm afraid I don't know where Yui and Kuma are at the moment."
Hitoshi's less than thrilled appearance somehow surprised Himitsu. As did his remarks about his name. "Hmmm? Really? But everyone loves fish sticks..." He went on to relent, and Himitsu smiled, amused his student thought he'd had a choice. "Oh, well that's fine cuz it's just you and me this week, bud!" Himitsu clapped his hand on Hitoshi's shoulder, made a handseal with his free hand, and pulled them through space-time to the Eastern edge of the country in an instant.
When they materialized, Himitsu removed his hand, rubbed his eyes, and blinked a few times as he looked around. "Man, that still feels a little weird long distance. You good?" Himi gave his student a once over then turned to head down the nearby trail, apparently content just to have all his limbs attached. As he waited for Hitoshi to catch up, Himitsu fished a tin can from his bag and placed a seal on it with one hand. A few seconds later, a tiny Matatabi formed around the can and stretched out in the path before taking her spot beside Himi. Once they'd started down the road, Himitsu spoke up again. "Soooooo, you're into monster stuff right? Like sea monsters?"

Hitoshi Hoshigaki
"I mean, yeah, fish sticks are great, but that's not the point! Ugh, whatever... wait, a week?" Before Hitoshi could have a chance to say exactly what he thought about that, Himitsu's hand was on his shoulder and he could feel a strange tug as his body was forcibly pulled across time and space to their destination. The feeling was, for Hitoshi, someone who had never experienced it before, unpleasant. "Man, that still feels a little weird long distance. You good?"
Honestly, he felt like he was going to throw up, but there was no way Hitoshi would be telling his squad leader that, so he just responded with a simple nod of his head, the slight paleness of his face the only thing betraying just how queasy the experience had left him feeling. Himitsu only gave him a once-over to check how he was before continuing down the nearby trail, apparently trusting him to be alright. Hitoshi was grateful for that, at least, as he followed behind the other man. He couldn't help but wonder, however, what exactly the point of this all even was. Himitsu was Jinchuuriki, and even without that furball he was a formidable shinobi in his own right. How could a lowly Genin like him who wasn't even that talented to begin with be useful, or even help in any way at all? "Yui would have been more helpful, surely, so why if he had to choose just one is he bringing me?"
Hitoshi tried not to focus on his own misgivings about his usefulness or lack thereof. The demon Matatabi appearing in a smaller, more adorable form provided a lovely distraction to that end, as did Himitsu's questioning about his fondness for hunting. "Not just sea monsters, but yeah. I'll hunt Yokai or take down pirates too. I suppose a monster of the sea is meant to be our target today though?" This would actually be Hitoshi's first time hunting a sea monster since this was the first time he was drifting farther than a few miles from Konohagakure since living there. He had to admit to himself that he was looking forward to it and, if nothing else, seeing his... sensei? in action.
Hitsohi answered his question thoroughly, reinforcing Himitsu's recollection. As his student explained, Himi nodded. "Perfect. Yeah, something's been dragging swimmers and fishermen into the sea over the past month or so. In the past couple days though, it's gotten bolder and started attacking boats. I haven't quite figured out just what it could be, since there's only been so many witnesses, and a lot of the accounts conflict with each other. Plus monsters aren't my area of study, which is where you come in." A quiet snicker came from near the men's feet. "Strange, you've befriended enough of them." Himitsu looked down at little blue demon with an entertained but wounded look. "Wow, rude. You know you're a literal demon, right?" Himi shook his head and moved on, digging out a scroll from his jacket and handing it to his student. "Here. I cataloged each of the traits/descriptors from all of the eye witnesses. Maybe something will stand out to you, but the only thing they all have in common is it drags people under water."
Within the scroll were a dozen witness accounts. If one were to believe all of the witnesses, the pair would be dealing with a green, blue, bipedal creature with no legs, that walks out of the surf crawling. The humanoid beast then proceeds to drag its prey into the sea with its mouth because it has no arms or legs. It probably has a tail, but maybe not. Its victims, if found, are either torn to shreds or found completely intact minus a couple scratches and their life force. After Hitsohi had taken a few moments with the scroll, Himitsu spoke up once more. "Weird, right? Anything come to mind?"

Hitoshi Hoshigaki
"A month? And the village is just sending someone out now!?" Hitoshi wished he could say he was surprised, but he wasn't. The same thing had happened with his own village after all, though rather than monsters it was the people themselves that had ultimately led to their own destruction. "Typical," he hissed, snatching the offered scroll from out of Himitsu's hands and violently opening it as he continued. "I wonder just how many people have died waiting for us?"
Hitoshi sighed and, after taking a few deep breaths, managed to calm down. Getting upset wasn't going to solve anything or bring those lost lives back, and it's not like it was Himitsu's fault anyways. And as much as his dumb nicknames and lackadaisical attitude got on his nerves he was still Hitoshi's superior and needed to be shown the proper respect. He muttered a soft "sorry" before focusing his attention on the opened scroll, careful not to trip over anything as they continued walking down the beaten path.
The intel described an aquatic, bipedal creature with green and blue scales. He didn't need to read very far to come to a conclusion, for there were not many purely aquatic monsters in the first place. If this was what he thought it was, then the people it killed hadn't died quickly or painlessly. Worse still, there would be more. With an almost pained-sounding groan, he rolled the scroll up before tossing it back over to the man beside him. "Great, it's a Ladon. And where there's one, there'll be more. Possibly as many as five." This really wasn't good, at least not for Hitoshi. Not only were they fast and strong, but their bites were venomous, even containing senjutsu chakra, something that he had yet to master and so would be vulnerable to. Besides that, they were said to be especially talented in water Ninjutsu. More even than he was. Hitoshi relayed all of this information to his sensei, before finally voicing his most important question. "Do you have weapons made of silver? They're especially vulnerable to that, for some reason. If not, then lightning style ninjutsu will be our best bet to getting through this without injury."
The fact that Himitsu was likely strong enough to defeat an entire pack of Ladon and then some by himself went unsaid, but Hitoshi was acutely aware of the fact. Still, anything could happen. Getting too cocky could only result in disaster.
Hitoshi had seemed to get Himi's point, even if he didn't particularly agree. The pair walked together for a while quietly, awkwardness hanging in the air. It didn't go on for too long though, as Hitoshi clearly moved on to the mission objective. The genin explained his thoughts and plan, and Himitsu nodded along. He waited for him to stop speaking before voicing his thoughts. "That sounds like a plan to me. Monsters have a tendency to find me, so I'm sure a clone should fair about as well." Himitsu smiled at his little joke as he walked.
Their trip to the coastline was rather uneventful, leaving the pair to entertain themselves on their journey. At night they ate well, Himitsu making fantastic meals from cheap ingredients for dinner before bed. It took them just over three days to reach the coast, and another to make it to where Himitsu had projected a cluster of attacks. Himitsu looked over the terrain and checked the map once again before tucking it away in his jacket. They were about 4 hours from another small port town, downstream from a major undercurrent. Boats sailed through the area, but they were smaller ones and far between. Perfect for a predator that didn't want to be disturbed during its hunt.
"So here we are. If my projections are right, and they have been so far, the Laymen should be turning up in this area soo enough. Hopefully they didn't pick up their pace since we left..." Himitsu turned to his student and opened his arms wide in a sweeping gesture. "Well, you're the brains now, bud. Whatcha need from me?"

Hitoshi Hoshigaki
He'd struck a nerve. It wasn't Hitoshi's intention, as he'd just been venting his frustration, but he felt bad all the same as Himitsu spoke. He was right, of course, about him not knowing the casualty count of the Jashinist attacks. That was the thing though. He hadn't even known about the current crisis involving those freaks until arriving in Konoha. Jashinism had always just been one of those religions he never paid much attention to. "These villagers don't see the bigger picture," he mumbled, though even as he said it he knew it was a weak defense of his position. An emotional response born from his own issues. "We- they only see their friends and... and family dying right in front of them, and they're powerless..." Of course, whether his words bore any weight or not didn't exactly matter. Hitoshi knew getting into some ridiculous competition about who suffers more or less was a pointless endeavor. One that wouldn't actually solve anything in the end if he kept talking so, much like Himitsu, he let the matter drop.
He was fairly disappointed, but not surprised, to learn that Himitsu hadn't prepared silver weapons for the hunt though. Ugh, he couldn't even get the name right. Hitoshi made a mental note that his adoptive mother could never be allowed to learn about this little mission of his lest she rip into him for going on a hunting mission unprepared regardless of the circumstances. A mission that he would apparently be taking the lead on. Punishment for his outburst? Hitoshi refused to complain, knowing that if he got in any serious danger that his leader wouldn't let him just up and die. He didn't know the man all that well, but they were both Konoha shinobi and allies. So, he did his best for the next several minutes to formulate a decent plan as they walked, only speaking after he was certain of what he'd come up with.
"Tough as they are, Ladon are cowards when it comes to lightning. If... we can lure one in with a lightning clone then it should retreat to the rest of its pack That would make searching for all of them a whole lot easier, and the fact that we'd be injuring one or more in the process is just a bonus." Hitoshi spoke slowly, with several pauses, almost sounding uncertain of his own plan. The whole time his eyes were on Himitsu, seeking out the more experienced shinobi's approval for his plan.
Hitoshi had seemed to get Himi's point, even if he didn't particularly agree. The pair walked together for a while quietly, awkwardness hanging in the air. It didn't go on for too long though, as Hitoshi clearly moved on to the mission objective. The genin explained his thoughts and plan, and Himitsu nodded along. He waited for him to stop speaking before voicing his thoughts. "That sounds like a plan to me. Monsters have a tendency to find me, so I'm sure a clone should fair about as well." Himitsu smiled at his little joke as he walked.
Their trip to the coastline was rather uneventful, leaving the pair to entertain themselves on their journey. At night they ate well, Himitsu making fantastic meals from cheap ingredients for dinner before bed. It took them just over three days to reach the coast, and another to make it to where Himitsu had projected a cluster of attacks. Himitsu looked over the terrain and checked the map once again before tucking it away in his jacket. They were about 4 hours from another small port town, downstream from a major undercurrent. Boats sailed through the area, but they were smaller ones and far between. Perfect for a predator that didn't want to be disturbed during its hunt.
"So here we are. If my projections are right, and they have been so far, the Laymen should be turning up in this area soo enough. Hopefully they didn't pick up their pace since we left..." Himitsu turned to his student and opened his arms wide in a sweeping gesture. "Well, you're the brains now, bud. Whatcha need from me?"

Hitoshi Hoshigaki
Hitoshi's eyes glance down to the demonic cat at Himitsu's feet, the young man rolling his eyes. "Somehow I'm not surprised that you're a monster magnet sensei. He says with a laugh, the earlier frustration he'd shown gone. At the end of the day, while it was unfortunate that these Ladon had killed as many people as they had, the important thing was that they wouldn't be killing anymore. Not if Hitoshi had anything to say about it.
The rest of their trip passed by without event, and if the Hoshigaki was being totally honest it... wasn't the worst thing ever. Himitsu turned out to be a pretty decent cook, endearing him to his student by keeping him happy and well-fed. It was... nice. Even if he still wasn't fond of his sensei's silly nicknames. After a few days, however, they ultimately made it to their destination and it was time to put Hitoshi's plan into motion.
He hadn't expected the man to still leave the mission in his hands. Was it laziness, or trust? Whichever it was, Hitoshi had no intentions of letting him down. "I'd start by creating a Lightning clone. Maybe even several, in order to attract a Ladon. If we're lucky, we'll attract the whole pack and can just fight them there. If only one or two show up, then I'm sure a clone of yours would be more than capable of cutting one of them before scaring it away with an explosion of lightning." Hitoshi taps the side of his nose as he speaks the next bit, "Cutting it first is important though. If your clone can make it bleed, then my nose can allow me to follow it to the ends of the earth. Or, in this case, to its friends. I'll take care of the rest once we find it." How exactly he would do that he had still not managed to figure out exactly, though the seed of a plan had started to form in his mind not long ago.
Himitsu did as requested. and created three Lightning Clones in their boxers. Already knowing their tasks, each of them begrudgingly swam out into the surf, splashing around as much as possible on their way out. Himitsu watched over them from the shore, using his sharingan to scan for the beasts' chakra signatures. Once they'd taken their places, he watched on for another few seconds before he decided to take a seat in the sand. With his eyes still on the water, he spoke. "So, what about hunting made you want to invest yourself in it?" Himi looked to his student for just a second as he spoke, before returning his gaze back to the waves. "Your file mentioned it in your skillset, but didn't give me much beyond it. You looking to make that a professional specialty? Or is it more a hobby?" The uchiha paused for a second to let Hitoshi answer, but spoke up again suddenly. "Oh! Uh, sorry, lemme see your arm while you talk. Sorry... Continue..." He turned back to his student and reached out for his wrist as he listened.

Ryo: 両 52,300 XP: 37,140 XP
Techniques Used: ▰ Shadow Clone Technique [ Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ] | Rank B [-40 Chakra] Creates a solid clone which is able to interact with the environment and perform any technique the user knows. The strength of each clone is dependent on the amount of chakra put into each clone. A clone can have anywhere from [1] chakra to all but [1] chakra of the user's pool. The same goes for stamina. The user must retain at least [1] of each pool or they will lose consciousness. Each clone takes [15] chakra to create, and up to three [3] clones can be made per activation. Shadow clones cannot be told apart by doujutsu. The clone disperses if it receives a solid hit (C-rank or higher), or runs out of chakra or stamina. When a clone is dispersed, any knowledge it gained while active is transferred to the original only, no other clones, and any remaining chakra and stamina is returned to the user. Shadow clones may be used to travel to various places while the user's real body remains in a separate location. There is no limit to the distance the clones may travel apart.
▰ Shadow Clone - Lightning [ Raiton Kage Bunshin ] | Rank A | Augment [-40 Chakra] An augmentation of the standard Shadow Clone Technique. This technique is created in the same functionality of the parent technique and can have it's properties applied to Multi Shadow Clone Technique. Upon destruction, instead of harmlessly poofing, the clone releases a concussive explosion of electrical chakra that is ten feet in width, causing tier one paralysis for each application per target. Opponents who are stricken by the lightning clone are subject to tier two paralysis and tier one burns. This technique must be paid atop the cost of shadow clone techniques but has no activation.
