There was so much to do, and there was not much time to lose. It seemed that the district was still rather peaceful on the surface, but that was the least of some peoples problems. There was a recent brand of dancers that arrived in Kumogakure to do a show in the night. Recent reports however stated that the one of the younger dancers was abducted by some bandits, who seemed to be fixated on the girls and their dancing skills.
The one who decided to take on this task was the female known as Minako, she wanted to get these bandits for trying to ruin a show before it even began and that wouldn’t look good on anyones record at any time of the day.
With this mindset, Minako started to scour around the district, listening to people for rumors and looking into buildings and around a few of the corners in the buildings just incase. This was all done while she was in stealth, merely because she didn’t want to be noticed while she was essentially trying to grab information, besides, if she did catch one of the bandits while not in stealth, she could be outnumbered like that moment last time.
Still scouring around the district for them all important clues, Minako popped in and out of the same buildings a few more times before a blood-curdling scream could be heard. This sent the younger Fujiwara into battle mode, she ran towards the source of the screaming, which appeared to be in a building that was originally blocked off to the rest of the world. This caused the blonde to curse, she didn’t think of anyone entering blocked off buildings, but when she thought about it, it made sense… it must be the bandits, getting into buildings can be their kind of thing when it came to abducting others.
Getting herself ready, she started to perform hand seals before releasing what appeared to be a bunch of explosive jutsu. This caused the door to blast open from the blast. The only thing that did cause a few issues was for the passer-bys, they have obviously noticed Minako’s work and simply stared at her, it didn’t stop Minako from looking back and smirking, but it did surprise her that the people would prefer to gawk at her than getting on with what they were supposed to be doing.
Flipping her hair in a dramatic fashion, she then ran in the building as fast as she could and started to kick every door that she could find. She knew fine well that she had to find the dancer quickly if the show was to go on, yet she couldn’t find the dancer with every door she kicked down, she didn’t even find any leftover bandits that could be loitering around acting like bodyguards or something. These bandits may be experienced, but she would’ve expected some form of guard protocol by now.
Some time later, Minako started to get into a state of panic, she was still kicking down all the doors and yet, there was still no sign of anyone. Did she go into the wrong building? She hoped she didn’t, as that would be a big waste of time towards her and the victim of the abduction. Time wasting was not something she could do willy nilly here, and even making a mistake could cost the dancer her life.
Looking around, the blonde started to hear some noises… it appeared that they were up on the balcony, it only meant that Minako had to climb more stairs, but she didn’t have to kick down more doors, which is always a good sign. With this mindset, Minako dashed as quick as she could up the next flight of stairs while going back into stealth mode… it was probably for the best, considering that it was going to be amazing when she took the bandit by surprise.
Finally at the balcony, she slowly opened the door while in stealth mode. She had to make no more mistakes… she had to catch the bandit by surprise, save the dancer and escort her back to the other dancers so they can do their show.
Her wild grin on her face clearly indicated something. It indicated that she finally spotted the bandit that kidnapped the younger dancer. Neither seemed to be alerted to her presence, which was good to say the least, now all the female had to do was knock the bandit into submission, even though she wanted to push him off the building, that was not part of the job description.
Rushing towards them, Minako ran in front of the bandit, who seemed to be teasing the girl by holding up some jewelry of some sort, mumbling that he would break it and throw it. The girl was crying, and understandably so. This did fuel up some anger in the Fujiwara, and it ended up with Minako revealing herself from stealth and punching the guy right in the face. Needless to say, the guy fell backwards and landed on his back, seemingly unconscious.
“That’s what you get for making her cry, big bozo” Minako announced, taking the jewelry from his hands and then placing her hands on her hips as if she was a superhero. Well, it was kind of like that after all… considering she stopped the girl from crying and took her safely back to the dancers.
