Mission Brief:

Pris had gained leads from some other shinobi around the village about the thief which had stolen a Priceless item from the village. Pris headed out of the village, he would soon get to the outskirts of the village. According to his sources the thief had headed east from the village, Pris had a picture of the thief, he took it out and looked at the face; the man was rather young in his mid-twenties and quite hairy too. he had a lot of facial hair which was kept rather badly. Pris raced to the east, running very fast as his scarf would pick up the wind and begin to soar behind him.

Pris ran wildly through the forest, he could not afford to let the thief to escape because he had a lot riding on this mission and it seemed that he was more tensed and it was not the mission causing it. Pris came to a halt when he spotted foot tracks around an area in the forest, he had not been to this part before but it seemed familiar but he could not put his finger on it. Pris looked around for signs that the thief had been here, he looked around. He saw a small hut not far from his current location, he walked briskly towards the hut. From not to far a distance, he noticed a silhouette in one of the windows, it seemed that someone was present in the hut but he could not make out the person. Pris approached the hut even faster but as soon as he got closer, he set off a trip wire.

Pris dodged several kunai that were targeted at him, but he could not dodge a net that grabbed him and took him up. Pris seemed like a trapped animal at the mercy of a hunter. Pris watched as the man in the picture he had walked out of the hut with a covered thing in his hand. Pris presumed that this man was the thief he so desperately searched for and that was without a doubt the artifact he searched for. Pris examined the man, it seemed that he was not a mere thief but it seemed he had years of experience and he knew exactly how to go about his things but too bad for him that he had met Prisoner even though Pris was not in the best place.

Pris looked on helplessly as the thief began to rant on about how he was the greatest thief alive and how he would use Pris as an example to teach other ninja a lesson if they ever tried to interfere in his dealings again. He went on talking about how he would rule over all the other villages and he would become a supreme overlord; he seemed rather optimistic and ridiculous for someone who steals but Pris guessed it was good to have a positive outlook. He went on talking for about ten minutes till Pris could not longer help it, and out of frustration he shouted which startled the man and made him stop talking. Pris looked at him with confusion and said, "Return that artifact and no one gets hurt" This was rather a bold statement considering that he would be the only one to get hurt if care was not taken. Pris' statement seemed to have made the thief cross because he walked into the hut and came out with a kunai.

He cut the net loose and Pris fell to the ground, he then gave a few distance and took a battle stance. Pris stood there confused, what was the thief trying to do? Was he trying to prove a point? or was he out right just being stupid? Pris really hoped the thief was joking about engaging in a fight with Pris, because Pris could tell from his stance he had little or no experience in fighting. Pris asked him in a calm but impatient tone, "What are you trying to do?" Without an attempt at the question posed at him, the thief lunged himself at Pris, shouting what he presumed was a battle cry of some sort. Pris put his guard up now, the thief's attempts were becoming quite annoying so he decided it was time to end this. Pris dodged several swings from the thief with the kunai in his hand. Pris would then grab his arm and then fling him across the terrain and into a tree.

Pris would watch as the thief would crash into the tree and fall to the ground unconscious. It seemed that this one was particularly weak, nothing else could be said about the matter. Pris would approach the unconscious man, he kind of felt pity for the man at this point but he had a job to do. Pris tied up the thief and tied him up good. He then preceded to look for the artifact. The man had gone into the hut with it but he did not return with it after he had come out with the kunai. Pris entered the hut, he was amazed by what he saw, it seemed the man kept a collection of a lot of things. The walls of the hut were covered with artifacts, different pictures, different 'things around. Pris was surprised, he looked around but he could not find the thing he was looking for. Pris heard curses outside, it seemed his friend was awake and very angry.

Pris had to do a little bit more critical looking before he noticed some piece of cloth sticking out of a hole. This thief was quite smart, Pris removed the artifact from the hole and checked to see if it was the right one and it was. Pris was relieved that he had not lost it. He went outside with the artifact in his hand to see a very angry thief. Pris couldn't help but smile, he rushed to the thief and carried him on his shoulder; he was quite strong for his age. Pris soon approached the village gates, he was soon helped by some of the chuunin in the village. They helped to take the guy of his shoulders and took him to the prison. Pris approached the faction and delivered the artifact and received the stamp for the completion of the mission and his reward.
