Mission:

Right after left the residential area, Mikado heading to Hinowa market. There is no place where he can made fast money other than the market. He is wandering around asking for a job and shelter. His unnatural appearance of course frighten the merchants and customers there; he wore his giant heavymetal armor with shabby cape and big container for his belongings.

His monstrous appearance that often frighten people seems like not affecting this one old man. He is the market superviser and lately there is a break in from Academy students and they stealing candy and such things in the market. There is a lot of complaints received by the superviser and he need to hire a guardsmen as soon as possible.

"Hey big boy, you had big and healthy body and i heard you are looking for a job. I had one available job for you and there is high price for it. You can start working with me tonight if you want.", he said. Albeit he didn't understand what the job is, Mikado quickly agree to doing the duty tonight. He then went to nearest riverside to take a nap for a while. Of course he didn't want to fall asleep when he doing his late night duty tonight.

The sun going down and the moon rise up. The night in Hinowa seems cold and restful but not in the market. This market still busy preparing their merchandise to sell in the morning. Mikado began his guard-duty and patrolling around the market right after meet the old man. He explain the situation and clarify that the regular thief are academy students and they often afraid to doing their activities when there is a big guy on patrol; so, Mikado only need to stay awake during his working time.

Mikado already prepared for this night and wide awake the whole time. He even help some merchant doing their preparations. His duty today seems like make the merchants a little open to him and do not afraid of his appearance again. This is a good start since market will become his favorite place later on. When the morning comes, the old man give Mikado his wage and expecting to work with him again.

Mission:

Mikado walking through the market alley with a lot of canned food supplies. He brought that to his temporary shelter in the vacant warehouse on the back of market provided by the market supervisor. His armor shine brighter today since he had nothing to do lately and have a spare time to polish his armor. He arrived at the warehouse and put his supplies in a big wooden box inside. While he still busy with his supplies, he heard a shout near his warehouse. He quickly run to the shout source direction and find a man robbed by some street thug, a wash out academy ninja probably. This assumption not comes out nowhere, that thief obviously wearing simple clothing for easier movement and sandals that usually used by ninja.

Mikado try to stop the robbery by shouting to him. "Stop you thief!", he shouted. The thief shocked and push his victim to fall. He then running away along with his robbed item. Mikado trying to chase him but he throw some makibishi (spikes) in the road. Mikado charge through the spikes confidently since he wore a metal armory, a little spikes like that won't affect him too much. Even though giving him protection, the armor also reduce Mikado speed and make him harder to catch the thief. But that thief seems untrained and already gasping halfway.

He then try to use the thief fatigue by throwing some shurikens. He throw the shuriken to the legs direction so it wouldn't hit vital points. But this thief really good at running and have a good reflexes; he avoid the shurikens by jumping. Nice response but it gave Mikado enough time to closing the gap between them. When he close enough to the thief, he uses his taijutsu to cease the thief from running away.

He kick the ground hard enough to boost his body forward and spin his body midair, giving him a momentum and enhance his kicking strength. He is spinning for a whole round and let his leg stick out so it can kick the thief right leg; trips him down and twisting his body in the process. "Gale!", shouted Mikado. He than catch the stolen item that slips out from the thief hand using his left hand and punch the thief with his right elbow on the back; striking right in the backbone and make that thief paralyze.

Mikado returned the stolen item to its rightful owner after tied up the thief and calling a responsible officers to arrest him. The owner saying thanks to Mikado and introduce himself as a carver named Hoshi. He compliment Mikado strength and ask him to work for him which gladly accepted by Mikado. Not so long after that, a few ninja coming up and pick the suspect for further actions.

"This glass ornament; i want to give it to my friend Hiro as a tribute for his daughter wedding. Its an important item since he also one of my business partner. I don't want something like that happens again, so its better for me to let you doing the delivery.", he said while repackage the ornament and gave it to Mikado. "Hiro lives in the south-west area in the market. He is a merchant who sold sculpture materials. Its easy to spot him since he is the only merchant who selling something like that around here.", Hoshi tried to give Mikado a clue about Hiro whereabout.

Even though the item are fragile, its quite easy to deliver it since its well packaged and Mikado quite gentle despite what he looks.

Another day passed by and Mikado back to his work. He went to Hoshi house to ask him a job. As usual, Mikado wearing his usual heavymetal armor that covering his whole body. He stand tall and grand within this armor. He arrived at Hoshi house and find it a little messy around his house. The window was broke, the door was collapsed and a lot of incision marks all around the walls. Know something isn't right, Mikado rushes in and find Hoshi was beaten very badly. His head was bleeding due to blunt hit. He barely speak when Mikado come beside him.

"T-The drug dealers. They are trying to using my sculptures to distribute their shitty drugs all around Hinowa. I refuse to do the job and they beats me so i can't tell the rightful ninja to arrest them. Y-you need to find them, stop them before their drugs tainting Hinowa.", his last words before taking a long breath and fall unconscious. Mikado shout out loud; asking for help. Some other merchants came in and take Hoshi to the nearest medical station. Mikado let the merchants take care of Hoshi while he prepared to avenge him.

He is searching all around the market to find any drug dealer activity. He spotted some activity but the trail always lost around the abandoned factory right in the back of the market. He sneak around that factory and found an abandoned warehouse behind the factory building. Two bodyguard seems like patrolling around the warehouse. One of them bring a sword and the other don't. They look like a strong shinobi, but Mikado need to defeat them first before approach the drug dealers inside.

He walks in to the bodyguard directly, they shouted to him to stop at once. "Hey, who are you! Stop right there!", said the swordsmen bodyguard; his stance already prepared to fight Mikado face on. The other bodyguard put out some kunais from each of his fingers sideline. Mikado charge to the bodyguard heads on, closing the gap between them. The ranged bodyguard throws kunais in his left hand to Mikado. Mikado barely dodge it and the swordsmen also charge to Mikado and prepared to slash up his sword. There is no time for Mikado to dodge the sword slash. Then he guard himself using his hands; crossing his hands in front of his face and body. The sword slash make a clean cut to Mikado armor's arm. He then uses the momentum to launch his combos to the swordsmen.

"Gale!", he shouted when back spinning his body and kicks the swordsmen legs side. Losing his balance, the swordsmen twist himself in midair due to the kick strength. However, the combos isn't stop yet. Mikado keep his spins and doing the second attack, "Shock!" he shouted while back spin once again and throwing his punch to attack the swordsman who already losing his ability to defense in the stomach. That swordsmen shoved and pushed 5 meters back and fall down. The pain in his stomach make him unable to keep fighting.

The other bodyguard, try to attack Mikado using his kunai. He uses that kunai like a claw since he tuck it between his right hand fingers. Mikado successfully dodge the first attack and the second attack comes in successive. His left hand put out another kunai from its sleeve and slash up to Mikado direction. Mikado able to barely dodge it. That slash slipped right in front of Mikado face. Dodged by Mikado, the kunai bodyguard trying to launch another attack by thrust his kunais in right hand to Mikado stomach. Mikado cannot dodge it but he manage to catch his wrist right before the kunais stab him. He then pull the bodyguard arm, make his body losing it balance and bend his body a little with his right shoulder directed to the pulled bodyguard. He kicks the ground strongly and by doing that, his whole body instantly become a spring to boost his ram power "Rising Thunder!", he shouted. The bodyguard receive the ram defenselessly and pushed until he hit and broke the warehouse door and fall unconscious.

Some drug dealers came out because of the commotion with a knife in their hand. Just by a fast glance, Mikado can make sure that those dealers is far weaker than their bodyguards. Their knives wouldn't do any damage to Mikado's armor. He easily defeats three of them but one dealer trying to run away. Mikado then chase after him.

Both of them run aimlessly inside the abandoned factory. The dealer even throwing things he found at the factory toward Mikado direction. He is quite a fast runner and Mikado big body make him harder to run in the factory. But, instead of following the dealer agile movement; Mikado just charge heads on and shove anything in his path. The hurly-burly they made in the factory make it slowly tremble. Some cantilever also shook of by Mikado. Aware that the factory going to collapse, Mikado shouted to the dealer to run outside. "Hey, its going to collapse. You need to save your ass!" but the dealer ignored him even mock him when Mikado running outside. "Can't keep up with my speed, eh! Hahaha... You better run away, metal bastard!"

He then just realize that the factory going to collapse when some wooden flakes falls in front of his face. "N-Noooo...", he shouted after silenced for a while. His loud shout triggering the falls even faster. The factory collapsed right away after Mikado get outside, leave the dealer buried inside the factory's wreckage. The officers came in because of the commotion and quickly arrest all the dealers and their bodyguards after asking an explanation to Mikado. They appreciate Mikado's contribution in get rid the drug dealers around the Hinowa market and gave him some ryo as a token of gratitude. Mikado then leave the scene, going back to his shelter in warehouse after stop by the hospital to visit Hoshi.

He didn't want to make a false movement that will endanger Huang or himself; Mikado also not in good condition. He tired after fighting the drug dealers earlier and not fully replenished yet.

Huang get into his house and back outside carrying a big container box in his back. "What's that, Mr.Huang?", ask Mikado. "...I don't have enough money to pay the hospital bills. Seems like we need to drop in several places in the market to deliver my things. We can use the payment to fill the shortage.", he said. Mikado think that Mr.Huang really a good man. He use his own money to pay for Hoshi's hospital bills. There is no reason for Mikado to reject the demand from this good guy. He escort Mr.Huang to deliver his goods.

Huang and Mikado reach the first destination; a butcher shop. Huang get inside the store to doing his business while Mikado waiting outside. He keep watching his surrounding and this time he make sure that one man with black cloth and muzzle were following them. He was blend in the market crowd but his shady presence cannot fool Mikado.

He give a wrap package to that fish merchant. That package wrapped very good to the extent nothing Mikado can see inside the package.

Using this environment as his advantage, the shady stalker trying to attack Huang. He throw a kunai toward Huang but successfully blocked by Mikado. "So, you decide to show yourself this time!", said Mikado as if he already anticipated the attack. That man charge heads on and avoiding Mikado to directly attack Huang. Mikado thwart his attempt by pulling his cloth and dropped him to the ground. Huang scared out and run away, leaving Mikado and the stalker alone in that alley. "Who are you!?", asked Mikado to that stalker. The stalker then unfold his muzzle to show his face. "What are you doing!? You are Hinowa shinobi but guarding a drug dealer who tried to taint this country!", he spoke angrily. Mikado shocked about what he tells him and tried to combine the puzzle in his head this time. He realized that Huang and Hoshi is a former drug dealer. However, Hoshi quit the job while Huang continue his business. That's why Hoshi being attacked by the other dealers. Possibly, by the order from Huang.

"Dammit! I made a mistake! I'll take care of this now!", he said while turning his body and chase Huang. He catch up with Huang and grab his cloth. He asked him about what he heard also check the package that Huang carried. Finding the truth, Mikado trying to bring Huang to the responsible officer. Of course Huang trying to escape the situation by bribe Mikado. "I'll give you fair amount of ryo if you want to let me go. I will also keep away from Hoshi.", he said. But Mikado replies him with a punch in his nose; make it bleeding. "Shut your mouth, scumbag! You try to deceive me and now trying to bribe me. The jail is where you will going, nowhere else and i willing to escort you there."

Mikado hand over Huang to the stalker who turned out to be undercover officer. He tell Mikado to be careful when taking a job in the future and saying thanks to Mikado for helping him arrest Huang. He gave Mikado some ryo as a payment and also ask him about something. "Are you a Hinowa genin? What's your name?", he asked. "Yes. I just assigned as Hinowa ninja several days ago. I am Mikado.", he replied. That officer then looking for some paper in his hand and giving Mikado a letter that he took from his bag. "This is Chuunin recommendation. I am an officer in charge to take care of drug dealers that roam in Hinowa. I found in my report that you took down one dealers hideout earlier and now you helping me to stop Huang.
