It was an adventure that was long overdue, or so one might think. It had been quite some time since Kaji Okada and Tatsuo Ranna had ventured out from the warmth and security of the borough on the mountain in search of adventure, danger, and whatever else lay in store for them. Kaji, in particular, was the sort of man who’d build up an urge to hit the trail if he spent too long behind city walls, or nestled in the comfort of his inner-village bungalow. So from time to time, he would take a look at the village’s bingo board, which was often fit with new cases for the taking. Now that Tatsuo was living under his roof, Kaji came to expect the boy to take part in work to keep the power on and pantry stocked. As his mentor, Kaji intended on sharing the work that might prove too tough for Tatsuo to handle alone, but worthwhile for them to handle as a pair.
You should also know that Kaji was not so fond of hunting men— not the gender but the species, humans. With an oath to not stain his blade with the blood of his own kind without good reason, Kaji often chose greater challenges that might leave lesser shinobi dead. Today’s challenge, in particular, was of a gargantuan variety, stomping through the tundra of Momento Deo.
What do you know about giants? In this shinobi’s world, giantism is not so rare— in fact, it is a feature controlled famously by the Akimichi peoples of the world. However, long before the Akimichi learned to form their gigantism using the magic of chakra and jutsu, another race of massive humanoids was a force to be reckoned with in nature. Today’s bingo ticket originated from a remote mountainside hamlet known as Gidayu, which has become the repeated victim of an enormous thief. Night after night, an enormous man with skin turned shades of blue has begun to stalk into their village and take as he sees fit. The sight is so terrifying that many villagers simply hide in their homes and hope he does not choose them. Those who have encountered him only leave the slightest traces of their experience often found in bits and pieces.
“We should aim to be subtle with the villagers” the sound of Kaji Okada seemed focused as he appeared on the road, traveling along with his ally, the prodigal sprout, Tatsuo. Kaji continued, saying, “most of them are terrified of the giant and won’t be into helping us hunt it. ‘We can admit we’re here investigating on behalf of The Cloud, but too many details and they might complicate things.” The duo was marching along at the edge of the small village, which was much more deserving of the term than the mountainous metropolis they came from. Their boots were crossing at least a foot of snow, and it took nothing short of warm clothing and armor for this mission. The winter of Momento Deo was perpetual, and so the duo had to come prepared. Kaji’s hair was pinned back in a loose knot, and his nose was red from the cold. Around his neck was his deep green scarf keeping him cozy. He wore his usual leather armor over his coffee-brown pilot’s jacket, and some unremarkable trousers, colored midnight blue to break up the earth tones. As always, Eelspine hung at his waist, and the white snow gave his hilt a heavenly glow. “Maybe we’ll make a stop to grab a coffee. Let’s dig for Intel and see if we can find a trail before nightfall. We can set a trap if we can figure out where our guy usually approaches from.”
