Tao Takeout[Mission, Invite only]

Mission:

Trudging along a dusty trail, Poncho and company were headed to the infamous Rouge Bar. Not many dared to venture even on the trail in fear of thieves and murderers on their way to the establishment. But that's exactly what Poncho and his buddy were sent out to deal with. He wore his typical clothing, Chinese Kung Fu Gi, Baseball hat, fingerless gloves, and his black pants with tennis shoes. His arms exposed to the light mist tingled a bit and his senses sharpened as the bar phased into sight.

"With you being the highest ranking member, I believe it would be appropriate for you to take command." He would turn to the being known as Shade. Poncho wasn't really sure if he wanted to take point or if he wanted the young Jounin to continue. "And it's only appropriate to let you know, that I am a Hamono member myself, if you were not aware. I am experienced with Quake Release and with that comes Doton and Fuuton."

Poncho knew he was in the presence of an Anbu member, a rather mysterious one at that, so he wanted to be sure to handle everything with elite like sureness. He didn't dream about being an Anbu Member, but a promotion could never harm his pockets.

Walking along side the jonin was the one only known to others as Shade. He was dressed like he always was. His skull mask and a long cloak covering his entire body which gave the others the impression that he was floating instead of walking. They were given a mission to eradicate those who were disturbing the peace in Kirigakure and those who use their powers to oppress innocent people must be put down. He had little patience for scum like that.

“I know who you are Poncho Hamono. I specifically asked to be accompanied by a Hamono member since I’m unfamiliar with them and their unique release. So today you’ll be the one calling the shots just think of me as the one who is accompanying you. ” Shade said calmly without looking at the man. The fact of the matter was that would aim to finish this fight instantly since he wasn’t one to prolong a fight a true assassin tries to get the target instantly with unnecessary delays. “What I don’t quite understand is why these Rogue people were allowed to gather here when we knew of this place from the beginning, this should have been talking care of years ago ”. A soft sigh escaped his lips as always he was to given clean up duty. No matter, the rogues and that damn bar would be gone today.

The mask was one thing. Typically Anbu members did wear them on field missions and when not out and about casually, but the voice was unsettling. Who was this Shade entity and why did he have such a strong need to hide his identity? "His past is his past I guess I should respect that."

But listening further to Shade's words, Poncho could tell his requested presence was beyond wanting a decent partner for the mission. It seemed like this was research to Shade. "This guy is something else." His eyes shifted to Shade uncomfortably, as his hands shifted through a quick set of seals.
Activating his Fissure Fist technique, he pressed open the Rogue Bar doors. "You Hamono, bring your thugs and come outside, I don't feel like playing games with you." He was stern as he nodded to his kin the Hamono member. "Ohhhh it's Poncho, still playing for the village I see. Alright I have time to put a pup back into his place, come on guys." The amount of words exchanged were quick, probably even unnecessary. Hamono blood made one almost addicted to combat, making Poncho almost throw his typical ways to the side.

About five goons stood, some armed some not, and followed their boss outside the establishment where Poncho would be waiting, hopefully with the company of Shade. Their he would stand ready, with his Fissure Fist already active, as the enemy Hamono member prepared his. He was slightly bulkier than Poncho, but this didn't make him nervous, the only thing he was worried about were the tactics the thugs accompanying him would use.

Shade said nothing else as they approached the bar. It was about time that they took out the trash and he hoped that his partner wouldn’t just try someone as brazen as walking through the front door and drawn attention to themselves , he had heard that Hamono clan members had a tendency to love fighting but he hoped that his partner would come up with a plan before they entered. Deep in thought about the best way to go about this mission, he had missed the man forming seals and was only brought back to reality when the man made his declaration. He felt the strong urge to facepalm but it would’ve been out of character for him to do so he just stood beside Poncho and watched as the men pour out of the bar.

“Hanomo member. This is the only warning I’m issuing to you. Deactivate your technique and tell your goons to put down their weapons and turn yourself in. All this can be avoided; there is no need to fight. ” Shade knew that this was useless but he took the opportunity to form the required seals to perform his technique. He prepared himself for whatever this man and his goons were about to throw at him but he had a plan.

Poncho listened to Shade's words, but assumed the male knew that they were in vain. Once called out a Hamono member will almost never back down. "You requested me to get a handle on my unique release right? So I will be glad to show you Shade-sama." His voice was clam and smooth, until he launched off at the enemy. He knew Shade would cover him with a ranged jutsu more than likely, so he would take the front, while he prepared.

Focusing on diminishing the enemies numbers, Poncho administered a quick jab combination to one of the underlings torso. He may seem reckless to Shade since the other Hamono member was present, but Poncho knew his clans techniques and had his eyes peeled to counter. now with one enemy downed, they began to swarm his frame, the Hamono member however targeted Shade. With his Fissure Fist also active, he attempted to close in the distance between him and Shade. "I like to save my dessert for last, so hope you don't mind dying!" He seemed rash and foolish, but with their keen battle instincts, he was more than prepared for Shade's jutsu.

As he thought all talking was futile. As Poncho started to get his hands dirty he thought it was about time he did too. His small hands had already completed his seals and to the left of him appeared a clone made out of water. The clone would kick its leg off the ground and would then rush towards the man, with Shade following right behind him. He had a plan, and that plan was simple. Hopefully the man who seemed too eager to dispatch of him would fall right into it. Narrowing their eyes on the technique they had seen not too long ago, the clone would attempt to punch the man in the face as Shade carefully positioned a few steps behind. He nothing of this man’s technique and it wasn’t like him to rush into a fight, but he was banking on this one idea, hopefully it was a smart move.

Having downed his first target, he turned the next, he was surrounded surely not a good position. Two of the goons drew katana and added to the threat level. "Tiger Dog." He thought as his hands weaved to seals out effortlessly. Then with a harsh stomp, a near invisible shock wave repelled his targets. Not off their feet flying back, but they were pushed away a decent distance, allowing Poncho to leap into the air. His leap of course wouldn't be straight vertical, he would use the opening to get his body out of the circle of thugs.

Now on the outer ring, he formed a pistol with his hand. Taking aim at the center enemy, they all stopped in their tracks. They were well acquainted with Fissure Bullet technique, for in the Tao it was used as an execution method, especially for snitches or squealers. "Who wants it?" He spoke gently, almost as if he didn't want to shoot. His eyes scanned and regardless of an answer or not, he already knew who he would fire at. His toned and slightly bulky exposed bicep was pressed against his cheek helping him aim his jutsu. His left hand found its way to his right to also help him steady his shot.

Meanwhile Shade and the enemy Hamono member were blazing in combat. Seeing the clone the enemy easily ducked the incoming fist and stopped abruptly to perform a roundhouse kick to the replica's backside. A splash of water reassured the Hamono member, the clone was disposed of and he narrowed his sights onto Shade. "Playing with clones, is never any fun. I like it more when my blows feel substance, care to stop playing games?" The leader of the thugs walked approaching Shade. His hands still distorting the very air with Fissure Fist active.
