The thieves’ guild had a fair bit of influence over the more degenerate types in society. Sure one would think that the Anbu would have cleared them out but until recently it had been petty thefts that the Anbu didn’t have time to deal with, even now there was more serious matters at hand which is why the mission had been given to two Shinobi of the village.

Hoshi’s strategy to use his clan’s unique ability to take control of the old man and lead him and his wife up the stairs of their small bakery and lock them in a room was successful, albeit unorthodox. The pair should Ieyasu choose to follow him would find no other obstacles as they made their way into the attic of the mall store. The window that looked out over the street was small but would do for now.

It would be a good fifteen to twenty minutes before anything of note happened. If either of them were paying attention they would notice a rather shady individual wandering the streets. He seemed no older than his 20s with pale skin and a gaunt face; he was slim and lanky with matted black hair. He wore a rather large tattered green cloak with a hood that was currently down. He seemed on edge, like everyone was out to get him. The man’s movements were erratic; his walking style signaled an injured left leg. He would linger outside store windows or near stalls and at some point you could almost swear you saw him pickpocket someone he bumped into though it would be difficult to tell for sure.

Finally he stood before the Bakery, the view would begin to be obstructed by the balcony of the second floor but for now he was still visible. He appeared to be searching for something, after looking behind himself once, twice, five times; he would slip into the now unstaffed Bakery thanks to Hoshi’s actions.

Should they decide to act on their suspicions they would find the suspicious man on the other side of the counter rummaging through the draws in search of money. He seemed to be cursing as he panicked his body language obviously showing he was cowardly and nervous.
