Within The Grid, the base of operations for the ANBU corp of Suna, a manilla folder sat upon an unoccupied desk. The door to the room was left cracked open, so Roku merely had to give a slight push to open it. The orders came in for him to the exact room at this listed time. The piece of paper that the order came with was a special kind, activating the writing upon it once someone touches it through the running of chakra. Within a few seconds the unique chakra ink would burn up, disposing the information permanently. This was the first indication that his new assignment might be something a little more challenging than others. The folder, left unattended, was another very curious sight. One might start to get the impression that he would be left on his own in this mission, that wasn't all too uncommon but the extreme measures taken made things feel a bit odd. His hunch would soon be solidified as he picked up the folder and began to search through the material within it. The very first page laid out the unique circumstance behind this mission, how this was an unofficial mission to the public but an authorized mission within the corps, work that had to be done but could not look like ANBU had done it.
Everything came to light as his eyes continued to absorb all of the material; this mission had to do with the under-the-table treaty between the village and the scum that hid within the Silver Crystal District. Within their own, outlawed zone, they could unofficially do what they want as long as it stayed within their area. The rest of the districts were classified as restricted to them. It was a shaky truce, which one might suspect when dealing with criminals, but one that delayed prolonged bloodshed. He was going in blind. Should he get caught he would either need to take his own life or claim to be a traitor that acted on his own accord, which would ultimately lead to death anyways. What a fun little game.
[In the Guan Yu District]
The Guan Yu was essentially a zone for food within the SCD. It housed countless restaurants with the most revered serving a variation of a dish called 'Guan Yu's Beard'. It was apparently a spicy dish, Roku was never one to come down this way for the food. Within his debriefing it was noted that signs of drug abuse was spreading into this area, with reports doubling over the past week. A causality to the treaty with the underworld was that the SCD would have its spurts of increased criminal activity, which would spill into the innocent citizens but it was a calculated loss. Right now the calculations were off, the outliers were piling up meaning this was turning into a epidemic.
His first job was observation; he had to find who it was bringing the drugs into this area. It wasn't so much the pusher, as there would be a couple, it was who the pusher was working for. He needed to cut the head off this beast in order to bring about a resolution, and at the same time needed to be done in a way that would send a message to anyone that wished to take their place in violating the treaty.
[Day 1]
I sat in the outer seating of the Dune Bistro enjoying a lovely hot tea beverage. This location was at the border zone between the underworld and the restricted zone, so seemed to be a prime starting point. During periodic points I would get up, walk around the block, perform a transformation jutsu upon myself and return to the outdoor seating. Throughout the day I noticed individuals cross between the two zones freely, each with their own level of suspicion but ultimately with no solid leads. This method will be maintained until further information can be determined.
[Day 4]
Today was the first big break. During my people watching from the Dune Bistro the other day I was able to make a confirmation on a pusher. Seeing him once more cross into this zone I began to tail him, hoping to get something beneficial from him. The scum squirmed his way up and down the alleys. He was observed walking past the same building three times, until finally approaching the door and knocking 4 times. After waiting still for a few moments the door would finally crack open and the individual would enter. Further observation gave way to the following information;
The house was a den for drug usage. Clients would enter using a unique knock, something different per client, and would spend anywhere from a few minutes to several hours in the establishment. Those exiting quickly would be individuals that made a purchase for either resale in another district or for use off the premises. Those that stayed longer would exit the building in various states of intoxication.
This building was the ground zero for the drug epidemic that was springing up within Guan Yu. Action will commence tomorrow.
