Kumogakure has the best economy out of the other hidden villages. You can find merchants from all parts of the globe, selling all sorts of things that you would normally not see on a daily bases. There's spices, trinkets- you name it!

Mana pranced around from awning to awning hoping to spot a good place to and grab another meal from the merchants in this district. He had already pilfered two fruits only native to Konohagakure and a Dango stick. Still there had to be some kind of meat merchant wandering about in all of this madness of sales pitches and visitors moving about as quickly as possible to grab the best deals for their villages. A smell wafted up to the awnings and rooftops enough for the honey badger to pick up the scent of freshly cooked pheasant. Now that was a true meal it could partake in. With some quick sneaking about and master thievery skills, Mana rested on top of another awning with it's paws wrapped around a deliciously seasoned pheasant.
As Midoriko entered the trading district, she began to track the honey badger. Hitofuki had begun to sniff the air for it, and Midoriko kept her eyes peeled. Deciding she should make use of her jutsu, Midoriko performed quick hand signs, and then once again her eyes became more cat-like. With her heightened awareness of her environment, she scanned the awnings of the area, and then finally spotted it.
Leaping up onto two awnings away from the honey badger, Midoriko watched as it continued to chow down upon its pilfered pheasant, still unaware of the kunoichi's presence. Looking upon her surroundings, she noticed a shop banner just above her. Removing it, she then quickly took action. Throwing a smoke bomb, she enshrouded the honey badger in smoke. Acting quickly, she threw the banner over it, and then nailed each corner down with a shuriken. Seeing that the beast was furious, Midoriko only hoped her teammates would show up fast to help her bring the badger in.

Jin soon entered the trading district it was bustling with noise and busy people, finding this Honey Badger would be no easy task. Jin walked spotting Midoriko who was on the move as quick as a cat, most likely she'd be the best one to spot it, since she was from a clan of trained assassins, tracking would most likely be her thing. Jin would take to the top of the shops making sure not to rip through or shake anything as he quickly one stepped off of each one onto the other. The people in the market didn't really notice him as he traveled his eyes still on Midoriko, he knew Shinto had to be close behind, he was an Uchiha. Jin wasn't sure what their greatest ability was but he Shinto's eyes rivaled his own in more ways than one. As he thought about this he closed his eyes and soon enough the veins around his eyes became extremely vascular and visible, as his own eyes opened again still a shining white. Jin rushed forward as quick as he could as he saw Midoriko who had taken to the awning of a store, grabbing a banner, that most likely they'd have to replace. Jin could see the chakra flow of every living thing around. He could see the Badger now too, and it seemed it was on a hunt, and Midoriko was also on a hunt, it was predator vs predator hunting, and Jin was sure. Mido was the better hunter, but he had to follow up behind her to make sure this thing. Jin rushed forward quickly as he created a Kage Bunshin which would go off and look for a makeshift cage, as Jin himself would com to make sure that it didn't just run off. Awaiting his Kage Bunshin's return he stayed up on an awning opposite of Mido.
Raiken was already on top of them. His whereabouts were unknown. The boy couldn't barge in. A ninja must to stay in the shadows. If he were to be detected, they would react. That is basic rule in being a Shinobi. The boy was on the move, getting closer and closer to his target. Not only that, a shuriken came forward. It was not aiming for the badger, but the banner. The sharp point of the shuriken infiltrated the outer portion of the banner, leaving a tear wide enough for the badger to escape. That would be his chance to catch it. His other teammates should be able to catch up for assistance. A smoke bomb will soar through the heavens and implode on impact, thus releasing smoke that would subdue them. Though, the Hyuuga would probably see him with that Byakugan. The boy wasn't stupid enough to be outmaneuvered by it. He had a plan. Raiken gestured an certain number of hand-seals. A minimum of ten Shadow Clones from all four cardinal directions came down at them. Three others followed the boy in his tracks to capture the badger. With that finished, the clones would come forward to attack them with many melee techniques. Timing had to be perfect, The boy would come for the badger and snag it while they were distracted, thus fleeing from the battlefield to meet the owner.

Bit by bit sharp badger teeth ripped flesh away from bone and devoured its stolen main course meal. Ears and tail perked up from the sound of few new presences approaching caught the attention of the feasting badger. However, Mana took another swift bite from the bird not caring about whatever was on the awnings with it as long as it did not approach further. Mana's ears shifted and twitched a bit as a high and impending flapping sound came from a banner on its away to pin down the badger down. The badger went into its fight mode and bared its teeth ready to rip free from the thin shop keepers banner. Instead it found an opening and made its way out of there as quickly as possible. Mana was now no high alert and ready for anything that came its way. The badger bounded from each awning leaving a slight rip in it from its elongated claws which might cause someone to get caught in the tear or completely fall through it. It was not safe to stay up here where there were no holes to hid in; it was going to need to get down and fast. Mana dove off the top of the awning down onto an empty cart before moving to dash and weave in and out of the legs of the people down below.

Looks like his plan executed fabulously. Now it was time to catch the honey badger! This was his chance. He stepped forward in an pursuit towards it. The animal had taken it's path through the legs of various people within the crowd. Raiken leaped upwards to avoid the crowd of people at all costs. Making his way up to the heavens, he landed upon the rooftops. He ordered the three shadow clones to get into position. The plan was in motion. There was an net launcher in the background. It was the perfect ninja tool for the mission. He can utilize this to his advantage. Ikazu grappled it and continued his quest to capture the badger before the opposing team could. His accuracy had to be precise. A net shot forth to capture the badger from afar. If it were not captured, the three remaining shadow clones will appear from out of nowhere to enclose a large sack on top of it to prevent the animal from escaping. The sack was made of strong material. It would of been impossible for the badger to escape.

Arriving after his team he would see that they were already in pursuit of the badger. Well, well.. how kind of them to save the best team member for last. Though he had much more important things on his mind than some pathetic badger catching mission, Shinto decided he would play along. For the moment, he watch Ikazu and the others from above a roof top trying not to make a big scene with his arrival. Not long after looking down upon them he would speak. "Sharingan."
Jin would see the spiky haired blonde make his way through as the sound of the smoke bomb went off and of course at the exact time his Shadow clone would make it into the field. Jin would jump down, as the makeshift cage was thrown up to him as the badger left through the whole in the banner, and attempted to jump up to one of the awning, Jin intercepted it catching it within the cage and tucking and rolling onto the floor as he ran off, noticing Shinto's arrival. He sent a finger signal pointing forward meaning for Shinto and Mido to move he knew the next thing that would occur would be a flanking of him. Which is why he caused his Shadow clone to grab crate and they both no had cloak covered boxes in hand so anyone following would have a hard time knowing who was who. If Shinto and Mido caught onto the signal the would know to meet him at the edge of the trading district so they could gather and try and find the owner.

Damn, they got the badger! Time to move. Ikazu leaped off the rooftop, looking at Jin's shadow clones from a distance. At least the boy had his three other shadow clones. It was time to make use of them. He ordered the other shadow clones to follow and attempt to capture Jin's fleeing phonies while he attempted to find the real culprit. Where could the real one be? He had to think. There was a banner on the box that the badger tried to make it's escape in. That was his only ticket to finding him and the target. He stepped forward and ran to make a pursuit. Though, that pursuit went upon the rooftops. He leaped from building to building, looking for him. It was like capture the flag back at the academy. Good times. Though, the mission had to be accomplished. He managed to catch up with one of them. There was a banner around the box. Found him. The boy gestured a number of hand-signs. Chakra was imbued into his legs to heightened his arsenal of speed and dexterity. That way he can catch up with the Hyuuga before he can gather with his other members. Sadly, it seems that Ikazu was the only one on the move. Where the hell was his other teammates?! Three against one isn't fair y'know! Anyway, the boy leapt forward with great momentum with added power of the jutsu. He attempted to grab Jin's legs. Secretly, this transferred electric shocks that can cramp an certain body part.

Jin noticed him coming, Shinto was right behind him. But Shinto was a ways back while the Spiky haired kid was closing in, as he got a good distance from Jin's body, Jin spun one hand out the other clasped tightly around the cage holding the badger, releasing Chakra from every tenketsu in his body and knocking the Spiky Haired kid back as Jin soon ran into a crowd, ducking and dodging between people since the Spiky haired kid would be knocked out and unable to see him at the time as he would then hide for a bit creating a clone of himself prior to hiding within a shop to stand obviously in the middle of the crowd, knowing anyone without a Doujutsu would not be able to tell the difference. With 360 vision it was pretty difficult to sneak up on Jin, but right now he needed to rest and give his eyes a rest. The strain the Byakugan put on the eyes was killer. Jin held the Honey Badger tightly knowing Shinto would be able to follow his movements with the Sharingan he held and would regroup with him on the other side if her were smart. As a bloodline user it was his task to know what mot Kekkei Genkai like his own could do leaving him to research a little on the capabilities of the Uchiha Sharingan.

The boy was sent spiraling in the air comically. Boy, this was not his day. He landed on his head. The vision was a bit blurry. Though, Ikazu couldn't let that stop him. The boy came to see Jin's clone standing in the midst of the crowd idol. That would of been a rouge to fool him. The Hyuuga must of been hiding somewhere in the crowd. If he created more shadow clones, that would wasting too much chakra at his current level. The remaining clones had returned to his aid. There were only six left. It seemed the other four took their toll. Now, to find that Hyuuga. He barged around the crowd, looking for him. Where was he. Might be close. Might be far off. Though, that was corrected. A shadow clone alerted. Raiken came forth in a hesitant pursuit. He found him yet again. He was hiding in a shop not too far away. The boy couldn't disturb the merchants either. What was he going to do anyway? He had to lure him out somehow. Raiken waited until the Hyuuga made a move.

Mana continued to dodge within the legs of the crowd trying to do its best to get to another safe place and swipe more food. As the badger moved about, it kept from causing any trouble with the merchants beyond the occasional bunny hop at the feel of a foreign object brushing against their legs. However, as it scurried about it found a new obstacle to dodge and weave around. People around were falling over, carts were being toppled by the ones that were falling, and knocked over merchandised poured down from the sky before smashing or busting into pieces. Poor Mana had become even more frightened by all the chaos occurring around it that it could not fully function out of its frightened state. This gave the Hyuuga boy the chance to bring a cage down onto him in a moment of the utter chaos going on around them. As a drape came down around the cage, Mana started to snarl and chew at the cage. The cage rocked violently around as the boy carrying him and another boy fought. Enough was enough for Mana. For a moment it was completely silent within its temporary binding as a burning rage surged from the tip of its nose to the tip of its standing tail. The cage began to creak as it appeared that the cage was becoming smaller. A low growl grew in ferocity as the badger nearly tripled in size and broke the cage into bits. Without waiting for something to happen next, Mana burst out of the shop making a break for an exit. Its new size remained as its tail whipped around and knocked over a few patrons and one merchants cart.
O.O.C: Okay guys just a few things. Please at least give your fellow rpers time to post and catch up with all that is going on.
Secondly, you have to give me time to actually play the badger guys. You cannot auto attack/ capture the badger just as you would not auto attack/ capture a person's human character. I'm going along with the posts for now, but after this give me time to actually post as the badger before continuing. And this is just a bit from me and not really all that bad, but how were you able to entrap a badger running in-between a large crowd of people without taking out a couple of people?
Since there was no way to do that I will be including how people were knocked down, had things knocked out of their hands and were shoved.

Midoriko Nekonome ~Tora Kumori~
The smoked cleared, and the rage within the tiger was apparent. Midoriko was not happy either. That strange, spike-haired boy had pilfered their honey badger! With Hitofuki on her shoulder, Midoriko took to richocheting from roof to roof to catch up with her teammates and the blonde boy. Doing a somersault, she landed in the area that they were in. The chase had already caused a disturbance. If only that kid hadn't released it and caused this massive chase!
The first thing Hitofuki did was leap from Midoriko's shoulders. She then proceeded to leap up, and then bit Raiken in the rear, her feline fangs sinking in quite a bit. Midoriko gasped, and then quickly went to remove her tiger from the boy's a**. She had to tug a few times, as the tiger was not letting go. Once she was wrenched from Raiken's backside, Midoriko proceeded to scold the cat. "Hitofuki! I know you're not happy about him pilfering the badger, but that doesn't mean you can bite his tuckus!"
The sound of cracking wood echoed through the air, and then with horror, Midoriko watched as a honey badger three times the size of what it was originally burst forth from a shop, and then began to barrel down the street, sending citizens and stalls flying. Wasting no time, Midoriko whistled to her teammates, and then began to chase after the beast.

"Thank you sir." the white haired Genin said to the owner of the stand as he handed him some money, and the man gave him a jar of light yellow liquid. The boy placed that into the small basket that he had at his side. The shop owner arched a brow as he caught a glimpse of what was inside, "What you got goin' on boy?" Getsu merely smiled at him, "Oh, nothing in particular to worry about. Have a good day sir~" and with that, the shop owner shrugged and the young Shinobi turned to walk away. Now that he had all he needed, he would need to find his team mates... As he walked, listening for what he was sure would end up being a rather loud ruckus from where ever they were, he chanced a look into the basket. As he opened the lid, the soft sounds of bugs scratching against the wicker basket came to his ears. Inside, through which he had went to a great deal of pains to collect and buy, were an assortment of larva, beetles, a few large scorpions (the smaller ones were the dangerous ones after all) as well as a small pouch of a couple mice. That, coupled with the bee's honey that he had just bought, would top off what a honey badger naturally ate. Aside from the larger creatures like snakes and birds, of which he was not going to hunt or buy for the run away pet, should hopefully be enough to entice the critter. I just hope that the others haven't upset it too much... he thought with a light sigh.
He switched hands with the basket, his right arm still sore, sleeve still bloodstained from earlier. Maybe I should have went and changed... Well, a bit late for that I suppose... he thought as he paused, hearing a commotion down the way. People were jumping and shouting, and some screamed. Getsu paused, as whatever it was seemed to be coming down the street towards him, followed behind by the familiar figures of the other Genin that he had met in the training grounds. Sure enough, shortly the figure of the honey badger, though much bigger than he had originally thought it would be, burst into view. It looked very angry... Getsu sighed softly, shaking his head. This creature wasn't a cat or a dog... not some normal domesticated animal. It was more in tuned with its wild nature than most pets, so of course it was going to get pissed when it was attacked or cornered. "I really wish I knew its name..." he muttered, crouching down and sitting the basket in front of him.
He was sure he was going to look like a fool to the others, but seeing as how their attempts at forcefully capturing it hadn't worked, why not give this a shot. Calmly and slowly he reach into the basket, gloved fingers curling around the tail of one of the large scorpions to pull it up carefully. Next he pulled out the jar of honey, unscrewing the lid and sitting it next to the basket. "Badger-kun. I know you are probably very upset right now..." he spoke softly, not sure if it would even hear him or not, or even pay attention to him in the slightest, but again, it was worth a shot. He remained calm, as normal for him, smiling softly as he dipped the scorpion into the honey and held it up, the bug wriggling and claws snapping unhappily at having been dunked in the sticky liquid. "Sorry little friend..." he muttered to it before looking to the honey badger and holding out the dripping scorpion, "Badger-kun, I don't want to hurt you, I'm sure none of us do. We just want to take you back to your family, they are worried about you and miss you." He took his free hand and tipped the basket a bit to where the badger could see inside, the whole lot of wriggling larva and beetles and mice within. He gave a light chuckle, smiling, "Plus, if you come with us, I promise all of this, plus the honey, is all for you. I want to do this in the least stressful way for you Badger-kun. I can understand wanting to get out and run and play, but you have caused trouble for some people, and have made them very unhappy and scared. So please, let's take you back home, okay?" Here he was, a white haired, ruby eyed Genin, crouched in the middle of the street with a honey covered scorpion in his hand, and a basket full of rodents and bugs, talking to a very angry, oncoming honey badger that could very easily rip his face off... Yes, he must have gone crazy.
