Missing Toxins [mission]

Here he was in his place of business, the perfect environment for an espionage such as this one since he didn't even need a cover story for being there. His assignment had been a fairly simple one, to find a specific merchant guarded by three shinobi and discover if he was or wasn't stealing from the research labs. Since these labs were an extension of the department he actually worked in he took this very personally and was going to make sure that if he was indeed the culprit there would be no mercy. The merchant wasn't hard to find since just like he had been informed in his briefing with Nahaji the man had a rather interesting pouch attached to his belt that he kept checking like he thought someone was going to go all cut purse on him and steal it right off his person. The three shinobi were obviously lower ranked than Shitai based on how terribly they blended themselves in with the area, anyone could tell they were here as hired hands since they kept touching their weapons when looked at, "such foolish fools acting foolishly foolish..." He chuckled at the line as it passed through his thoughts but he wasn't here to be funny, and technically he wasn't here on assignment either to build true cover.

Shitai walked through the hall and bumped into the merchant's first guard, acting like it was an accident he apologized and offered him something from the break room in return. The man agreed and followed him away after signaling to his team in an overly obvious manner, Shitai almost shook his head but he couldn't because he wasn't a shinobi today but just a humble doctor. The pair made it to a door and Shitai opened it for him, the man walked in without paying much attention and the Aburame followed close behind. The lights were out and Shitai didn't go to flip them on, this made the guard shinobi cautious and he started moving his hand around his blade again, Shitai just chuckled and stabbed the man in the side of the knee before he could even hear the steel scalpel being lifted from the counter. The guard screamed in pain but Shitai cared not for his job was to be brutal and get the information he needed so making sure this guy wouldn't be getting up and running after him was step one. Eventually the pain made the weakling pass out and Shitai tied him to an operating table before picking his pockets and finding his ID, Hyo Amakai, odd name but it would do. He started forming hand seals to complete his disguise with thoughts of his next move already being plotted in his twisted mind.

He finished the seals and a cloud of smoke covered his body and as it cleared away it became apparent that he had a new form, he had become the man known as Hyo. He grabbed the man's weapons and jacket to complete the outfit since although he wasn't one hundred percent sure one of the man's team mates appeared to be an Inuzuka so smell would be a key factor here. Shitai exited the room with a few crumbs from a piece of dry toast on his lip to complete the illusion that he had actually gotten something to eat and went back to the place that Hyo had stood before leaving with him. He stood there acting like the buffoon he looked like for almost twenty minutes until his "boss" called all three over to meet in a private lab, "this is it...time to see if I actually get to kill them all or not.." He did as asked and went into the lab alongside his partners and was interested to see that they were not alone, one of the lab techs that Shitai had known since he started here at the hospital was grinning a devilish smile in the corner at this merchant man and twirled a glowing purple vial between his fingers, Shitai was unnerved but kept composure to see what the hell was going on and if maybe he had a new person to destroy.

Jutsu:

Though it should have been expected Shitai was shocked to see he lab tech explode into a cloud of smoke and come out of it looking like a decent ranked shinobi who looked at Shitai oddly. He looked to the merchant and shook his head, "Your guards are terrible, not only did one get captured and replaced but the other two didn't even seem to notice yet." Instantly all three looked at each other, Shitai just playing along to prolong his being found out, and while one began to perform seals the other drew a sword. Shitai just stood there with hands ready to go into a fist fight while chakra charged into his palm for a later assault to end this in about three seconds if need be. "It's really sad how you all seem to cling on to my every word, your security is tight enough not play nice and lets get back to business." The merchant waved his hand and they stopped forming their seals and sheathed their weapons. Shitai did indeed lower and relaxed his fists but the build up of chakra attracted a large quantity of kikaichu beneath his sleeve. The new face that seemed to enjoy playing around pulled out a box containing a dozen toxins just like the one in his hand, Shitai recognized it as a viral attacker the lab had been developing for the better part of a decade and was said to be enough to take out a squad of jounin just by inhalation. The proof was here and Shitai needed wait no more so he cracked his neck and the group looked to him before he flashed into action.

He rushed from one of the guards to the other and with a sickening snap above their shoulders they fell wide eyed and silent to the floor. Shitai then made he way slowly to the impostor lab tech and the man, terrified of what was to come dropped the box but a wave of destruction bugs caught it before it hit the ground and killed everyone in this wing of this hospital. He took one of the guard's kunai knives and placed it directly and harshly on the throat of the enemy before breaking the transformation and uttering one line,"Foolish fool, you foolishly guessed right then in a foolish manner foolishly made the foolish mistake of foolishly letting me get away with it. Fool..." A thin line of crimson blood made its way around the blade slowly before Shitai pressed harder and forced the skin to completely tear beneath and shred so that the man fell to the ground grasping it in an attempt to prolong his life, he was a dead man so Shitai looked at the merchant that was trying to run to the door and raised his hand, a sphere of collected insects was in his palm and launched itself into the merchant's back, exploding through the skin and then burrowing deep inside to bite into the nerves and cause pain unimaginable. Shitai slowly walked over to the merchant and crouched down to look at his last victim of the day, the other guard was tied down and bleeding out so his death would come shortly on its own but this one needed to suffer by looking into his slaughterer's eyes before passing on so Shitai planned to do just that.

Jutsu:

The pain of being eaten alive from the inside out kept the man on the ground and squirming so Shitai gave him a few minutes of it before grabbing him which caused the insects to stop. The merchant spat on Shitai who then threw him face first into the ground before the insects began again, another few minutes passed but this time when Shitai stopped them the merchant seemed to grasp the situation and laid there looking dead eyed into Shitai fierce glowing animal eyes that hungered but could not feed. He seemed completely terrified but sat there looking back until Shitai shook his head no and the man started pleading for his life, even offering the pouch to the shinobi that bested his entire team alone which was accepted and allowed him to stand and then have a few seconds to think he talked his way out of this. Shitai drove his foot into the man's knees which both snapped with ease now that they were straightened out and the merchant fell face first onto the cold linoleum floor of the hospital. A few screams seemed to be drawing people outside near the entrance to investigate and the locked door rattled as the security officer tried to enter so Shitai ended this with a curb stomp that sent chunks of the merchant's head to every corner of the room before jumping out the window to avoid paperwork with the hospital staff. His mission complete he made his way to the kage office to give Nahaji the pouch before going home.
