Neb: I do not own Hunter X Hunter. The rode of achieving true strength is a tough one, but one that is necessary to becoming a Hunter.

"Sir," the butler spoke up to the man in the white suit. "The Silent Wind Assassins just called. They are on the move now."

"Excellent," the man in the white suit grinned. "I wonder what took them so long to show up?"

"From what I understand they are a new group to the business, but they are all licensed Hunters."

"That might give them an advantage," the white suit man nodded. "Anyways, send the info through a text. Tell your contact to destroy his phone after careful inspection."

"Yes sir," the butler nodded.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Assholes," Yujima growled in frustration as he was using his Nen to crush his phone into pieces until nothing of it remained.

"We did keep them waiting a while," Minaga pointed out.

"Yeah, but I have to buy a new phone because of those jerks," Yujima seethed. "Anyways, we are after a man named Alestor Crone. Apparently he's a nen specialist as well, so he have to be on guard."

"Nothing we can't handle," Yane grinned. "What's one Nen user against five?"

"That's fair," Minaga began. "But other assassins were sent after this man, and so far he's avoided them for the past five days. He may be more difficult of a target then we initially realized."

"Not to mention," Yujima begun to add. "There is nothing that will keep the other assassins from gunning us down first to lower their competition. The contract states that anything done that'll aid the target in his escape will cause a pay cut. So I'm hoping that line will keep the other assassins off our backs."

"But people are crazy," Dendo responded. "So that might not help out as much as we hope."

"Exactly," Yujima nodded.

"All that money for hunting down one guy though," Nari pointed out. "You have to be leaving something out."

"Smart kid," Yujima sighed. "I am not obligated to share all the info with you guys just yet. Please just focus on our target. He's a tall blonde man that usually wears a button down shirt with flowers. However, he may be in disguise right now, so we can't fully go off of that info."

"Do you have a picture?", Yane asked.

"probably on the phone he just destroyed," Minaga responded in annoyance.

"I was following the instructions they sent me," Yujima growled. He walked over to a chalk board at the side of their hotel room and drew a perfectly detailed drawing of a man with long hair, a beard, to scars on his cheek, and was missing tooth."

"Looks like a combat vet to me," Dendo analyzed.

"Keep track of the scars and the missing tooth," Yujima explained. "Those are the details he can only hide with implants, masks, and makeup."

"Do we know what his abillities are?", Dendo pressed.

"No," Yujima sighed. "We only know he is a nen user."

"That doesn't necessarily mean he has any abilities," Minaga explained. "He could be new to the ways of Nen."

"What's the reward?", Yane wondered.

"Not your concern just yet," Yujima added. "We'd like to see if the three of you can handle yourselves on a mission first. So far you're unpaid interns and Minaga's students. If your training went well, you'll move forward."

"That's bull," Dendo growled.

"When do we start?", Nari decided. She was eager to show off her new abilities and didn't really care about money anyways.

"That's the spirit kid," Yujima grinned. "This room will be our main base for now. We won't all go out together. Instead we will keep two of us at the hotel and the other three will hunt."

"Yujima will be in charge of the base," Minaga decided. "If anything goes wrong on the outside, we will call for him and he'll provide cover fire from the rooftops."

"So your obviously the hunter," Dendo realized as he spoke up to Minaga. "Who will be with you and who will be with Yujima."

"I'll be taking Nari and you," Minaga replied. "Yane will stay with Yujima."

"I'm being sidelined?", Yane scoffed.

"Your being utilized for your abilities. As an enhancer your strength will provide the best cover for Yujima if he gets ambushed. He is a long ranged fighter, so he needs a close ranged fighter to protect himself."

"So then we are sending out two transmuters and a specialist," Yane argued. "Don't you think you'll want a more diverse team."

"I will be traveling alone," Minaga waved her concern away. "Nari and Dendo will be working together to hunt down our target."

"Don't argue with him," Yujima yelled. "Minaga is our boss, He showed us how to use our powers, so we should respect him for that."

Yane humphed and then sat down at a nearby couch.

Minaga headed for the doorway, but was stopped by Yujima when he was out of earshot.

"Are you sure traveling alone is a good idea?", Yujima wondered. "Remember when we cornered the dojo master. You needed my sniper fire in order to get out of there alive."

"I'll still have your sniper fire," Minaga explained. "I don't think you understand. I'm the bait. I'll draw our enemies out and you will take the shot when the time comes."

Yujima nodded and Minage exited the room.

"In order for my plan to work, Yujima has to stay hidden. If we are both taken out, then this whole mission would have been for nothing."

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The man with needles on his face was chasing after a young girl with blonde hair. "Excuse me miss. Could you tell me where your father is?", he asked in a cold threatening tone.

"Go to hell," she yelled as she headed for the subway station. A needle hit her in the back of the head.

"Let's try again my little puppet," the needle faced man grinned. "Where is your father?"
