Five Minutes to Midnight

Mission:

Missing children had always been something that had bothered Ren, perhaps it was the fact that his own sister had gone missing when they were younger, of course the reason she disappeared was due to their father. He wasn't sure what ever happened to them, other than them both disappearing, but he knew that his father was involved somehow and was not a victim like most would think. He was a manipulative man and could have easily killed his sister and then disappeared himself without a trace. Ren would shake his head as he moved through the village, now was not the time for him to be thinking about his past, there were three children missing right now and he needed to find them. Unfortunately, his newly formed crutch at finding people was useless, Rain Tiger at Will was an extremely useful technique but, in a village, it was less ideal. This was mostly due to the fact that the rain did not penetrate buildings and so it could not tell if someone was inside the building or not. Still, even though there was the possibility of it being useless, Ren would still cast his jutsu, just in case he managed to catch the culprits outside or something moving the children. You never really knew, but he had to make sure his bases were covered as he would then use his seismic sense to cover a five-hundred-meter radius around him. Sure, it didn't cover the large area that his rain covered, but it did allow him to see the inside of a building as well as anything that touched the ground. It was going to take him longer this way, but it was the only way to be thorough and ensure that every inch of the village was searched. After hours Ren would stop outside a small house on the edge of the village, what stuck him as odd wasn't the house itself but what was underneath it, a tunnel leading out past the wall of the village. Wasting no time, Ren would burst into the house, through the floor and into the tunnel before taking off at in a sprint at full speed. He was determined to find the children, and if any of the ones that took them were around, he was more than happy to dispatch them the way they deserved. Reaching the end of the tunnel, Ren would be met with a ladder, but before climbing up he would tap his foot on the ground and check to see what he would be walking into. It was easy enough to identify the three children, all of them tied up and crying in the corner of the room that was above him. Outside the building were two individuals both seemed to be patrolling the area around the building, Ren doubted that they expected anyone to find the tunnel or that a threat would come at them from inside the building, it was his lucky day. Climbing out of the tunnel, Ren would make his way to the children, activating his Boots of Silence as he moved so that the guards outside could not hear them. Reaching the children, he would motion for them to be quiet as he untied them and lead them to the tunnel. Getting them all into the tunnel and motioning for them to follow it, Ren would turn his attention to the men outside. Forming a long string of hand seals, Ren would wait until both men were in close proximity of the building before activating his technique. A blast would rush around him, causing the building to explode outward as the fire moved, eliminating the two men almost instantly as a result. Ren would be back down in the tunnel before the blast was finished, making his way to the children and ensure that they got back to their parents, as well as accepting the reward for it before heading home to get some rest.
