The daimyo of Heijo province had entered his treasure room to find two of his guards slain, his family's ancestral sword missing, and a ransom demand left in its place. The thieves who'd stolen the sword demanded a hundred thousand ryou for its return. The daimyo was willing to pay twice that for two ANBU to ensure that no one dared steal from him again.
