The Bandit Camp [Mission] [Private; Doragon]

Mission Details:

It was a nice day in Kumogakure, just like the last one. A lot of shinobi just recently got back from their missions and were enjoying this time with family and friends, but it seemed that one red-headed chunin in general would be leaving the village for a mission. Though the location is only a few hundred meters away from Kumo, it was still an important mission to Axel. He had been tasked with taking out a large bandit camp who have been causing trouble to people who come in and out. They hide when strong shinobi such as jonin go in or out however, which is why the Raikage decided to send a genin and a chunin their way. That way they would get cocky enough to attempt to attack the two, yet would ultimately die due to the intense shinobi training they have had.

He was told that his genin partner would be coming out shortly. Until then he was waiting next to the village gates. Once he arrived they would leave the village and go straight towards the bandit camp. During the travel Axel would ask the genin a series of questions to get to know him better.

"My name is Axel Rover, and I am a chunin, though you should already know my rank. May I know your name? As well as how long you have been a genin? Boy, do I miss my days as a genin," Axel asked him, though nostalgia began to kick in during his speaking, so he had to stop himself before he could go on any further. After a few minutes, the two of them would be at the top of the left side of a valley, viewing the large camp of bandits at the bottom. There were a few tents set up, and Axel counted about nine bandits. There was probably more, but if there was then they must have gone far out for something. If the two of them were able to take out nine of their members, the returning bandits would get the threat and run away, never to come back in fear of death from an unseen enemy. That was the chunin's plan at least. "Alright, time to move out," Axel told the genin. He went down the slope, always dashing towards the large bushes that kept his cover. They weren't far enough in to get spotted by sensors it seemed.

Doragon was on a mission of the utmost importance. A B-rank mission, these missions were where you could start dying and other unpleasant fates. Trusted by the people that gave him the mission, he was honored to know that he was doing his job as a shinobi right. But, they wanted to make sure that the Genin wouldn't be overwhelmed, so they gave him a Chuunin to assist with him on the mission, which he was sure wouldn't provide him any help that he couldn't do himself. Even the infamous human distraction role could be performed by a simple bunshin. But, perhaps Doragon was getting too cocky with himself, and that, plus respect, was why he didn't object to the partnership.

According to the mission details, he was supposed to meet up with his partner at the village gates, and that was what he was doing at the moment. His clothes, given the simplicity of the mission were also simple. Like usual, his headband was on his forehead, as Doragon was proud to wear the symbol of Kumogakure. Of course, if it was an espionage mission he would have to put his pride aside, but that wasn't relevant. Anyways, besides the headband he wore a blue collared shirt, not popped, because those made you look like a dick. Cargo shorts were his choice for the lower half of his body, and for his feet, he wore royal blue sandals with royal blue socks. To protect his eyes from any unfortunate accidents he wore blue goggles, although the lenses were clear.

Arriving at the village gates, the duo immediately departed. During this time, he would take the current silence to analyze his "superior", and from what he got, this person didn't look very powerful. Then again, ninjas should always feign weakness unless it would ruin the mission, so he couldn't tell, until this person asked a very silly question, asking about Doragon's name and such.

"I have know time to indulge with small talk that doesn't contribute to the success of the mission. I assumed those details would be in my file."

He would make sure to create a ninja card for this Chuunin. This guy wasn't very ninja like at all, so it was probable that Doragon's initial analysis was correct. Was it true that Doragon was some kind of prodigy? Or was he just committed to the job more then others?

How did this dumbass become a Chuunin..

A few minutes of silence passed, and the duo were at the top of a valley where the bandit's hideout was. Nodding at the command that he was given by the Chuunin, he watched as the Chuunin immediately went into cover and slowly making his way to the tents. Doragon followed suit, believing it to be the best course of action.

Murder is sweet...and quick.

The shinobi was a bit disappointed that his partner didn't want to break the silence and talk with him, but it was alright since there was always next time to give it a try. The first course of action that Axel would initiate would be a distraction so that he and his partner can get down there without too much notice. Of course there were at least a few sensors, but everything would work out just fine in his opinion. About 120 meters out, it was easy to tell that the sensors weren't that experienced with ninjutsu either since they haven't been suspicious of anything. That was what the chunin was hoping.

"Alright, now it is time to give those bastards something to be alert about," Axel whispered to himself, though his genin partner probably heard it as well. As quickly as possible, he performed a string of handseals in order;  Ram → Snake → Tiger. Immediately after that, there were at least ten copies of Axels behind him in the bushes. Knowing that someone must have heard the noise from down below, he began to act. He got the image of the bandit he could see the clearest in his head and then began to perform yet another string of handseals;  Dog → Boar → Ram. Immediately, he turned into the man, and due to his expertise in ninjutsu, it was an exact replica. What was better was that this guy wore a heavy amount of leather, to the point where it even covered most of his face. Add to the fact that a ton of the bandits dressed like that and you had yourself a clean deception. Especially since Axel believed that other bandits left the camp sometime ago. Coming back after running into trouble, which was ten copies of a badass chunin to be specific, was completely logical.

"Help me! Off these shits!" the fake bandit shouted in a perfectly replicated voice, since he heard the man speaking to the others previously. As he instructed them beforehand, the copies ran after Axel, all shouting some very hurtful words at him. This got the bandits up from what they were doing, and without even thinking about it they decided that the best course of action was to help out their ally. It seemed that a sensor was catching on to this act, but it was too late. five of the bandits were running at full speed towards the Axel and the copies with weapons out. Some of them began to perform handseals and shoot out fire balls at some of the copies, which dispersed on impact. Most of them were well aware by now that these were basic clones, but in no way could they figure out that the bandit they were attempting to help was the one that sent these clones after himself. Once he was close enough to the five bandits, stuff got pretty fun for him. He was able to perform another set of handseals; Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger. A long stream of fire came out of his mouth, his face moving right and left, pointing towards the bandits until they were all set on fire, running back to the camp. The remaining four bandits had to throw kunai at their comrades' heads before they got any closer, threatening to engulf the whole camp in these flames.

"Fuck, if only I had figured it out sooner. You will pay for killing our comrades!" shouted the sensor. All four of the bandits were pissed now and came towards Axel who was shalf-way down the slope, chilling on a small road that was made inbetween it by the earth.

"Hey genin, I think it is your turn!" Axel shouted.There was no point in being sneaky anymore. Having seen the power of most of their fighting force, the chunin deduced that these men weren't all that stronger. He got them paranoid about another shinobi coming to kill them however, if he needed to use that to surprise them, going in for the strike when his partner finally gave ease to their fast-beating hearts. Once the two were done with the remaining four they would leave, hoping that the bandits that left previously would leave once they saw their dead comrades.

Although Doragon would have liked to join the action, he would wait until orders were given. This Chuunin seemed fully capable of doing it by himself, after all. But, the ninja was a little worried about his allies mental capabilities when he began to talk to himself. Although the phrasing was vague, he didn't give any indication that he was talking to Doragon.

That's another thing I have to add to the ninja card..possible insanity. Perhaps he's been able to conceal his fragile mind from the psychological tests? But just look at him...it can't be..is it all some sort of facade? I'll definitely have to keep a closer eye on him.

Of course, his superior wouldn't know he would be thinking these crucial thoughts as he gave no indication. His body neither tensed or relaxed as he went through the possibility of his commander suffering from a mental disorder. Like always, his body was simply firm. The stone cold piercing gaze that Doragon had on his face was far from unusual as well. If this man's sanity plummeted even further while they were on this mission, then Doragon would have no choice but to kill him. Choosing to analyze the Chuunin's method of going full force, he knew this was a prime time to see him fight.

Then, he would note down any flaws in the Chuunin's fighting style in his ninja card. It was all apart of Doragon's paranoia. Anyone around him could become a missing ninja, even the most trusted of shinobi, and he needed to be ready in case that happened. By writing down the weaknesses they possessed, he would have a much easier time of killing or apprehending them. Some might have called it cruel or going too far, but when it came to the safety of the village, a Kumogakure ninja could never go too far.

Finally, his commander called him into battle, but still, he made another newbie mistake. Why did he have to signal him vocally? The bandits were still unaware that Doragon was here, so he could have easily launched a surprise attack and swept them. But, now they were expecting someone. Gritting his teeth in annoyance, he would have to put on Axel's ninja card that his ability in stealth and being subtle was abysmal. Perhaps he made it up with raw force? He would have to spar him when they got back to the village.

Seeing no need to use his Ninjutsu when Taijutsu would have been enough for bandits on this level, he descended from the bushes, attacking from the bandit's blind spots and killing them with ease, his melee attacks both quick and brutal in the way they took the bandit's out. Eyes had been gouged out, ears ripped off and necks snapped. Now, all of the bandits were dead.

"These bandits..they have they're as subtle as you, commander. Perhaps if they kept the crimes they committed more lowkey, we would have caught on to them when they were much stronger. Oh well.."

Preparing to leave to turn in the mission, he didn't wait up for Axel.
