(Start scene)
Night had fallen over the village hidden in the leaves; all was quite under the pale moon light. Until suddenly, in a swift flash, a figure leapt onto a rooftop near the Hokage's tower. The figure was average height, wearing all blue. A blue cap covered his head and a simple cloth mask around his eyes with their ends swaying behind him in the wind. He had a red pouch on his right leg used to carry all that he needed. His weapon of choice, a cane equipped with a golden hook-like end.
Pulling a pair of binoculars from his pouch, he quickly used them to look towards building. Though, it was at that point one of his teammate's was heard over the binoculars, or as they were called the Binocucom. "Calling Sitting Duck; this is the Wizard. Do ya read me Sitting Duck?"
'Sitting Duck,' the figure answered, "This is peaking duck here, I hear ya loud and clear, Blizzard."
His teammate groaned on the other end, "No, Sly I'm the Wizard and you're Sitting Duck."
Sly grinned, "Whatever you say, Lizard."
"No Sly I'm," He sighed, "Forget it you aren't taking this seriously."
Sly rolled his eyes, "Yeah I'm not, listen Bentley I know you don't like working in the field, but you gotta loosen up. If we are going to get to the forbidden scroll I need you on your toes. So in plain talk what's your status?"
Bentley sighed, muttering under his breath, but after a bit he finally spoke, "I made my way into a storeroom on the third floor, but I need you to unlock the door so I can get to the security terminal."
Sly used his Binocucom to find a path inside. "Don't worry buddy, I'll be there shortly."
After putting his Binocucom away he jumped off the roof. Twisting in midair he landed on a tight rope leading to another building.
Sly loved the abilities of his family's bloodline. His family could see what looked like blue sparkles around certain object where he can perform moves for those uses. Able to walk on tight ropes and wire smaller than his feet, poles to climb places to use his cane and swing away. And his favorite-Sly jumps of the rope and spins in the air before landing on a small point of a poll-the ninja spire jump.
He jumped off and landed next to a ledge by an open window.
Once he was inside he made his way to the storeroom where Bentley was. He was about Sly's height wearing light tan clothes and reflective goggles to hide his eyes. His head and hair was cover with an explorers' helmet. He carried a crossbow holding darts. "What took ya so long?" he asked, walking out of the room. Sly just laughed and followed him.
The two made their way to the security terminal and Bentley started to work his magic. His fingers were a blur as he hacked the system. "First the cameras that lead to your path are off. Next goes the alarms and finally the security gates are down." He turned to Sly, "The path to your rendezvous point is now clear. Once you get there and make your way to Murry where you can get a clean shot to the vault. I will turn the alarms back on so the Anbu won't be alerted. I will stay here to change the alarms for you when needed."
Sly nodded as he went ahead. He got half way when he heard Bentley on the speakers. "Attention, this is maintenance speaking. We are going through a system purge as well as an update of the systems. Some security measures will be shut down temporally, so do not be alarmed. All Anbu keep up your guard while this is happening."
He smiled as he made it to the next floor and over to a window. Sly open it and jumped out.
He twisted in mid-air and landed on a rope between two buildings. He made a simple run on the tight ropes and up one level till he made it to a store not far from tower. He entered one of the store rooms only to see a gate blocking his way. "Murry's late again," mumbles Bentley over his com-link. "Try and see if you can make way without him."
Sly took barely three steps when he heard a loud huffing and puffing. Then he heard the voice of his friend shouting, "THUNDER FLOP!"
He dove out-of-the-way as Murry broke through the glass roof above him and belly-flopped into the center of the room. Everything around him was sent flying or was crushed from the force.
Murry stood and smiled at his friend. He was taller than Sly and had bit of a large belly. He was wearing a large purple short sleeve shirt and cargo pants held but a thick leather belt. He had brown leather gloves and a brown leather mask that covered his whole head except for his eyes and mouth. Clear goggles covered his eyes that seemed to shine with excitement. "Greetings friend, I hope you weren't harmed by my powerful entrance."
Sly could not help but smile, "No Murry I kept my distance."
"Good," said Murry with a nod. "Cause the Thunder Flop knows neither friend nor foe, only destitution."
Sly rolled his eyes at his friend antics. But he wouldn't have it any other way. "Yeah, maybe you can channel some of that 'raw energy' into that gate here."
"Of course, that puny gate is no match for the might of 'The Murry'." Murry said, flexing his muscles.
Then Murry went to the gate and started to lift it up. After thirty seconds he held it above his head. "Okay all clear."
After that Sly ran under the gate and into another room. He ignored the door that lead to the shop below and stood before another gate. Murry pushed the gate higher above him and ran through before the gate could shut back down. He made quick work of the second gate and now both of them were on a roof top one floor below the Hokage's office but could see clearly what was happening inside.
They both noticed several Anbu standing guard in the office. "Sorry guys, but the Anbu decided till the all the alarms were back 'online' they added more Anbu into the office. I can't get rid of them without setting off an alarm somewhere which we would need for later."
"Don't worry, 'The Murry' has this covered." Said Murry and he lifted up a large crate. With great force he threw it to the street below and the crate smashed into a stand. The two hid as the Anbu disappeared from the office to investigate the noise not far from them. "There you go Sly, the path is clear. I have no way into there so I will meet you at the rendezvous point."
Sly smiled at his friend, "Killer work, Murry. I will meet yea and Bentley there, this shouldn't take long."
Sly enter the Hokage's office and looked around before spotting the sofa. As he walked toward it Bentley spoke over their com-link. "Are you sure this is where the safe is located?"
"Yeah I'm sure; the second Hokage placed a fake safe behind the picture of his brother, which is a trap to fool and catch any thieves looking for the village's secrets. The real safe is hidden in plain sight." Sly reached for the wall above the sofa and pulled. A fake screen was pulled from the wall showing a large seal array the size of Sly's torso.
"Are you sure you can handle that? It'll sure be hard to crack." Asked Bentley as sly held up his right hand to the seal array.
"Of course, all it takes is a light tough." Sly said as he held only his pointing finger, middle finger and thumb.
Each digit gained a small blue flame made of chakra. He placed his hand on one 'ring' of seals. Slowly he turned his hand turning the ring with him. He learned this from the Thievius Raccoonus. With seals and safes like this all he had to do was focus some chakra into the safe in the right spot and slowly turn it like you were the one unlocking it. He had to feel his charka for well the only word he could describe it as vibrations. He then turns it the other way still feeling for the vibrations. Then, one final time then the safe is cracked.
Sly smiled as the safe unlocked when he pulled his hand away. The safe open up and Sly peered inside. There were several files for the Hokage's eyes only as well as several other important secrets to the village. Then, he found the large forbidden scroll. He took out the scroll and tied it to his back.
He then pulled out a small blue card that was shaped and looked like a raccoon. It was his family symbol and sacred animal. It was also the calling card to the first Sly Cooper. Like his namesake before him he always left them when he pulled off a heist.
His victory was short-lived because he barely turned around to see someone he knew body flicker into the room. "Anko, flashing me again I see, don't you ever get cold wearing that?"
The special Jounin smirked at the thief. "Why do you help me warm up in my interrogation cell?"
"Sorry I'm saving myself for a special girl. If she ever breaks my heart you can help me pick up the pieces. In fact, I think I will go meet her right now."
"You aren't going anywhere Cooper!" shouted Anko, sending several snakes at him. They bit into him…only to rip the paper dummy instead. She quickly looked around to see the door open and found him running down the hall.
As she gave chase he heard on the speakers, "Intruder alert, all Anbu report to the third floor, east wing!"
Anko smirked, 'Reinforcements. Got you now Coop…wait a minute, that's not even close to where we are.' Anko growled and gained speed to try to catch him while throwing kunai at him.
Sly dodged the kunai as he went down a different hallway as both Bentley and Murry ran to him, following him away from the yells from Anko. "This was not part of the plan!" screamed Bentley ducking under the thrown kunai.
"Relax Bentley; this is where it gets fun," Sly said as all three of them jumped away from the wave of weapons. Anko was getting closer to them. "Meet you at the safe house. I will lose Ms. Wet dreams here."
Then all three of them jumped, breaking through the windows and went off in three directions. Anko jumped after them and started to follow Sly. The two jumped across the rooftops in their little game of cat and mouse.
Sly finally stop and turned towards Anko twirling his cane in one hand. Anko stopped in front of him her hand loose to the sides ready to send her snakes out of her sleeves at him. "End of the line Cooper," she said ready for any move he makes.
Sly gave her that cocky smile, "Yeah sorry our game has to end with the same results as always."
With that he slammed the bottom of his cane down on the roof, creating a smoke screen.
Anko sent to snake into the smoke, but the caught nothing. When the smoke cleared she screams in anger before jumping off trying to find anything to lead her too him.
After a minute, Sly appeared out of thin air as he lower his Shadow power move. He smiled and walked off towards the safe house as he pulled of his hat, showing his blond hair. "What a night, now to go and get that Headband in this 'extra credit test'." He said, pulling off his mask and rubbing his cheek with the back of his gloved hand, wiping off the makeup hiding his whisker marks.
Naruto Uzumaki jumped off toward his friends at the safe house, with a smile never leaving his face.
