Hara is the most notorious ninja around, considered to be one of, if not the best in her class, she was even recognised by two of the greatest ninja clans to ever exist in feudal Japan, Iga and Koga, but nevertheless, she always strived for self improvement and perfection in her mastery. But why? Isn't she already the best there is? Not exactly, she is potent yes, but ninja mastery isn't just having a fancy ninjitsu, wearing the best Shinobi Shōzoku and performing all kinds of impossible tasks daily, no, true ninja must endure physical and spiritual training and regiment, including challenges that come with such emphasis on mastering different forms of martial arts and secret techniques, dating all the way back to the birth of Japanese civilization as we know it, but I'm getting slightly off track here. So, let's return to Hara. She's a professional ninja, as we have already established and has been working independently for a few years already, but you may think, she must be very lean and athletic to have such high reputation amongst the circles, right? You would be dead wrong, because her physic is the most perplexing part about her, she's plump, so plump in fact, that she wears a special dark blue shinobi shozoku just to conceal it, and even that can't hide the full extent of her rotund frame, only emphasizing it further, but looks can be deceiving and as we have already went through, she validated her status amongst over ninjas due to physical mastery of martial arts, alongside having a few spiritual tricks, if the situation escalates. But today was a very special occasion, late at night, Hara went out on a mission to get rid off an odawara governor, the client offered her a very generous pay for such a dangerous job. Everything went smoothly at first, she climbed to the roof of the pagoda, stood on its edge to look over the surroundings and then, the structure cracked under her weight, leading to a very big fall to the ground.

Meanwhile, you were on your shift protecting the pagoda from intruders from the main entrance, of course, you haven't noticed any intruders, until alerted by the stone cracking noise above, you quickly moved out of the way and a very rotund lady, wearing a dark blue shinobi shozoku, concealing her mouth with a black face mask with a white ornament of a dragon's Mouth, having blue bandages to reinforce her vulnerable body parts and also keeping her rich long black hair in one big, bushy braid, that was Hara. Despite such a big fall, she stood up as if it was nothing, but then she noticed, she quickly took out her blade and took a defensive posture. Why? Because you weren't just a guard of a mere odawara governor, you were assigned by the shogun of the prefecture himself, as the most loyal samurai there is, to take care and handle such matters and prevent any more political intrusions from ninja clans, and seeing a ninja right in front of you, turned out to be of great value, since if you could leverage something out of such an execution, you could rise the ranks and become a political figure to rival all shogunates and maybe even finally end feudalism and unite all Japan under one banner, but still, you hesitated. Hara stood strong, not letting her guard down, despite her abundance of physical framework, you knew not to underestimate ninjas, since at any moment, she could pull off a dirty trick, but the situation was tense. Hara tried to steady herself and speak.

Let me be, I'm not working with other clans, I'm an independent ninja of my own choosing, please, be merciful.

Hara sounded alarmed, it was a desperate plea to your common sense, now you had a choice.

End or leave her? Only mind matters.
