On the appointed day Ayume, Dazen and Hideki were at the entrance of the village waiting, the three seemed very anxious and luckily they didn't have to wait long, as Kenji soon arrived at the place.

Kenji saw the three students and said: "Well, you arrived early, so let's start walking, the trip will be long and I will explain the details of the mission along the way."

Kenji started walking and the three soon followed him, "Our mission will be in Kusagakure, basically one of the nobles started making strange moves changing partnerships and trade routes, we were hired to find out what led to this change and who this noble's new partner is, so we will need to infiltrate the mansion from the nobleman and get the information from him, of course everything in the most discreet way possible."

Kenji looked at the three of them and asked, "Do you understand everything?"

The quickly responded: "Yes."

Kenji smiled and continued: "Great, this mission doesn't have many risks and is great for testing your skills as ninjas in remaining discreet and obtaining information, so I won't be directly involved in this mission, the planning and actions will all be done by you alone, I will get involved if you or the mission are at risk, understand?"

The three were surprised by what Kenji said, but quickly agreed, Dazen thought, 'This mission is the type that requires stealth and planning more than strength, it will be a little more complicated, but it shouldn't be a problem.'

With everything sorted out, the four quickly started heading towards Kusagakure. After a few days of travel, the four were almost in the city where the target was when Kenji stopped.

Kenji turned to his three students and said: "Okay before we enter the city it's best to transform into different people so as not to attract suspicion, so what's the plan? You guys had enough time to plan so let me know."

The three looked at each other and nodded, then Dazen said: "Basically our plan consists of two steps, the first consists of blending in with the population, Ayume and I will disguise ourselves as people who came from smaller cities looking for a job to get information about the nobleman and his movements and then take on jobs that allow you to contact him or his guards to find out how many people protect the mansion, their habits and personalities, Meanwhile, Hideki will observe the mansion to obtain information about the time of each guard, the locations where they are and what the mansion is like with his sensor abilities he can do this without being discovered, so the first step is complete."

Kenji listened to everything and said: "Very good, after that what's the next step?"

Dazen then continued: "With the information obtained we will be able to discover flaws in the protection of the mansion, there is always someone who is not completely attentive, we will use these inattentive guards to make them sleep with a genjutsu so we can transform into them and thus enter the mansion without raise suspicions and with the information about the surveillance locations and the mansion locate the nobleman to also put him in a genjutsu and obtain the information we want if we manage to do everything correctly we can enter and leave without anyone noticing."

Kenji listened to everything and said: "Well then, let's start, first transform into different people, now your mission will officially begin."

The four then transformed into different people and entered the city at different times so that they would not be associated with each other and quickly Dazen and the other two began to put the plan into action Dazen and Ayume looked for jobs that would allow them to be in contact with the population and the guards while Hideki looked for something that would put him close to the mansion so he could always keep an eye on the movement of the place.

The three successfully blended in with the population and quickly began gathering information as they met at night to share the information obtained and discuss the best way to infiltrate the mansion.

A few days later the three were gathered in a discreet location and Dazen said: "I think that with this information we can be successful."

Hideki and Ayume nodded while the former spoke: "I agree, we have already discovered which guards are the most inattentive so we can put them in a genjutsu and replace them easily, I got the information about the mansion and I know how to get to the nobleman's room as quickly as possible now all that's left is for us to train the guards' transformations, we need to imitate them perfectly, including their personalities."

Ayume then said: "That won't be a problem, Dazen and I are in contact with them almost daily and we wrote down all the personality traits of these guards, so we'll be able to disguise ourselves perfectly."

Dazen nodded and said, "Yes, then we will train and perfect our disguises for the next three days and then put our plan into practice, you agree?"

The other two nodded and then the three began to discuss other details of the plan, in another location without the three of them noticing Kenji was watching them while thinking: 'They are doing very well so far, it looks like I won't have to get involved in this mission, That's good, less work for me.'

Kenji smiled and disappeared from the scene while thinking: 'They will put the plan into action in three days, I will continue to observe their actions from afar with luck, everything will work out and I won't have to get involved.'
