The errand she spoke of back at the library was referring to her need of a weapon for the puppet. Sadayo would return to Masamune and summon Nirami. To the blacksmith, she would explain the specifications for an odachi; a blade to be about 36 inches in length. The blade's size would stretch from the samurai's shoulder to a little over its hip and make the handle scale over the shoulder.
Superior Large Weapon < 1200 Ryo > - Basic , nothing elemental , no chakra
Felt a little like a waste, though, to blow this extra ryo on a fanciful design and not even need the bells and whistles. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures. The Sadayo would quietly endure the wait and graciously accept the ordinary odachi. She would fasten the long sword on a kneeling Nirami's back before dismissing him.
2250 - 1200 = 1050 ryo For herself, though, a treat. She would spent 200 ryo on a collection of ten hollowed eggs. Eggs painted black and filled with cayenne pepper. Each egg was delicate all by itself and would be handled with care in her supply bag from here on out. 1050 - 200 = 850 Ryo

__ The great artist appeared at the Suna Shopping Superdome. It had been sometime since his previous visit, in fact, this was where he met his sensei for the first time. He recalled the moment as he walked through the area. He felt like a very different person even though the previous time he set foot in here was so recently. In this time he had endured a challenging tournament and the Shukaku attack.
Finally he approached the shop owned by Miyamoto Bastet, but operated by other familiar faces. With a smile Tetsuhiko placed down his portfolio of puppet schematics, drawings, and other various designs. It was time he made Castor now that he was finished with his design. He also wanted to update Orpheus, exchange Juno for now, and buy nine new weapon launchers. Tetsuhiko had received an incredible amount of ryo for participating in the earlier events. Juno appeared next to Tetsuhiko and was exchanged and Orpheus was also returned for some updating. Hermes, Io, and Isis were also summoned for launcher installation.
It would take some time for construction to be completed so the Iron Prince immediately purchased nine new weapon launchers and installed them into Hermes, Io, and Isis before handing the rest of the launchers over to the shopkeepers for installation into Orpheus and Castor later. After that Tetsuhiko stepped out momentarily, found an unintrusive space, and converted some of the earth into iron sand. The iron sand then formed into a surplus amount of various ammunition types. He then returned to the counter and filled the launchers in his puppets and set aside the rest for his new puppets later.
__ Once he was done assembling Castor and updating Orpheus with the shop he installed the new launchers and ammunition into them. He also created a new seal on Castor for placement into the scroll and filled his stomach cavity with iron sand. He now had nine fully modified and upgraded puppets at his disposal. Castor, Orpehus, Io, Hermes, and Isis were then sealed into his scroll. Tetsuhiko began to ponder a possible redesign for Juno later. For now the shop could hold onto her until he could create a new and improved combat design. The hallmark of a master puppeteer is the ability to manipulate ten highly advanced puppets at one time. This is on display with the Chikamatsu collection and Tetsuhiko's own creations are likely much stronger. Next he was going to go to the training grounds for some technique learning.

Truging through the streets, Masato came to a pause at a market stall that had several weapons on display as well as armor. He found himself pausing at a skin tight black 'armor' that was displayed as a " Second Skin " This would take the sharpened aspect of a weapon completely away, leaving only blunt damages. Even dampening the damage taken from projectiles. He grinned with excitement, happily exchanging the 2000 Ryo for the suit. As he proceeded down the street he would also find something else that caught his fancy, the weapons he had been looking for! He picked up several Windmill Shuriken, admiring their intircate design and began to fiddle with it. Truthfully, its deadly and exotic appearance were what drew him to the item. He picked up the superior quality one, ensuring it was capable of handling the flames of his chakra nature. In all he had purchased three total windmill shuriken. Additionally, he purchased 20 yards of wire that was also capable of channeling chakra, becoming sharper as it held his chakra. While a large chunk of his change had been spent, the money was well spent. In all Masato had spent 4000 Ryo at the market, 3/4ths of his money. -exit-
After leaving the hospital, he would receive a message from a hawk that the village’s armory was in need of help. With no better lead of where to start, Masato went there, determined to advance himself. Upon arrival, the disaster at the armory was apparent. “ Some bastards broke in and stole a bunch of inventory, can you help recount the supplies so I can fill out a statement of charges?” Masato grinned, knowing he could do one better. It was no doubt the group he had just brought down. He informed the man of his lead and got to work. [1/4] First Masato worked on the bladed weapons. Several swords had been knocked over, but it didn’t seem as though they were taken. Masato recounted each blade, totaling in 24 katana, 24 Wakizashi and 14 tanto. Moving on from those were projectiles. Several projectiles were taken and easily notable. Of the original one thousand two hundred kunai, there were only eight hundred and twelve. Shuriken were counted at five thousand five hundred, originally counted at ten thousand. Masato grimaced at the numbers the bandits had stolen. He would have to be cautious of their wares when confronting them again. [2/4] Continuing, the most heavily impacted area was the section of the armory containing bows and arrows. Every bow was stripped from the collection and not a single quiver of arrows remained. The original arrows measured ten thousand. The bows, one hundred. The volley of arrows he received would most likely be the beginning of a trend with the group as it seemed they merely stole projectile type weaponry. Confrontation physically with Masato seemed to be something they had been avoiding. [3/4] Finally Masato completed his inventory after counting the armor sections of the armory. The total standing of the man’s wares was 79% of its original numbers. Masato sighed. “The man who stole the bulk of these supplies is located in the Hospital Bunker. His face is scarred and burned. Alert the authorities to detain him, charge him for you losses if he cannot produce them.” [4/4 D Rank Mission Supply Counting Complete: 150 AC, Windmill Shuriken in place of Ryo Reward ]
Well s**t. Masato found with blank despair approached the weapon shop, having now to recount the supplies after making the story owners aware that stuff was stolen. As he looked around and saw all of the weapons, he took a sigh at all the work ahead of him. “Well Masato, you wanted to do more humbling work,” He said with disdain. He then began to count, keeping track of each kind of weapon. He took a deep breath to stop himself from screaming, however, when he realized he counted a weapon twice, and now his math was off. (Supply Count: 1/4) “Damn it!" Masato sighed. How in the world was he supposed to be able to get an accurate number? This was surely not something a normal joe could handle. Regardless, he gave it one more try. This time, he tried writing down the names of all of the weapons and then keeping a tally next to them. This worked for a while until his pencil broke, and the shop owner was stingy on loaning him another one. (Supply Count: 2/4) “Don’t you want to help the village? This shouldn’t be this frustrating.” He sighed as Masato discarded the paper. It was clear that this was going to be the most trying challenge of his ninja career. Demons and tournaments were nothing compared to number crunching. Regardless, he resolved to try it once again. The difference this time was that he moved each item from one side of the store to the other as she counted it. This allowed him to remember what was cataloged and what wasn't. Unfortunately, when the older guy approached and got furious with him for moving everything, Masato finally snapped at the man for not working with him. (Supply Count: 3/4) “I’m trying to be a good person for once!” He snapped. These words seemed to resonate with the man as he took a step back. When he came back he said nothing, but handed Masato an inventory packet. Masato grabbed the papers and flipped through them as they revealed how many arms the village had. “Thanks sir.” He said with a bow of his head. With the information he then left. (Supply Count: 4/4 COMPLETE)

Hopefully there weren't any of those pumpkins at the shopping center! He walked through and kept his eyes peeled. Surely, if there was, a civilian would have reported it. Then agin...

Guess he was right after all! He didn't see a pumpkin or anyone reacting to a pumpkin so that must be that! Time to move on.
Sadayo liked the shopping dome for its activity and, of course, its shops. If she were to continue with care to not rally concern then maybe the girl could find a squash in peace.

Empty. Maybe a civilian going about their day beat her to the pumpkin. There was still time before this game was to end. Sadayo continued with her hopes high for another shot.

Masato's sharingan scanned the area vividly, searching for yet another dark chakra laced devil vegetable. The chakra of each citizen made the search more difficult as their generic blue chakra glows interfered.
__ How about the marketplace? They sold pumpkins here anyway, sometimes... right? Maybe they had one she was looking for here too! Zhi would poke around for a bit and be on her way.

Just because she could, Bast wandered over to her storefront to show her cat around the place. After schmoozing with some customers for a while and delighting some kids by having her pumpkin put on a show, she spotted another gourd hiding in the rafters. Acting quickly, she animated it and had it join in the show. After the final curtain fell, she and the pumpkins bowed--though hers was shallow so her cat didn't fall off her shoulder--and she left, mysteriously feeling that the location of Cactus Bast was just outside her grasp.
