Interesting rumors were sprouting amongst the humans. Spreading like wildfire on the winds was a tale of a talented ninja who could escape even the eyes of her peers. The only reason people know of the story, they say, is because of the rare instances where one could see a bushy tail.
It has led some to question if this was all the work of a tanuki - or even a bake-danuki.
Staring down at the sleepy girl - hidden within the brush while others called for her - Mamizou could only scoff at such confusion.
Mujina are not the same, she thought.
Grumbling that simple errands disturbed her sleep, Sayu leaped through the trees. Her abilities were for hiding and sleeping - not finding lost things.
She landed in the grass, curious that her scanning hadn’t picked up anything yet. That is, until a woman she hadn’t seen before appeared from behind a tree.
“Looking for this, dearie?” She held out the item. “I found it on the forest floor while hiking. I was wondering when someone would come for it.”
Sayu nodded and hurried to finish the errand.
She went by so quickly, in fact, the woman’s ears and tail went unnoticed.
