Monkey's in a Barrel [D-Rank]

Monkey's in a Barrel:

Shin had decided today would easily top the most ridiculous mission he been part of so far. Monkey’s having escaped from the zoo was something he had expected to be in a fictional book or film, not something that happened that he needed to deal with in his own life. Though here he was, standing outside the zoo wondering how to go about the task of finding six monkeys, capturing them, ensuring no harm came to them and returning them to the zoo. The most difficult part would likely be capturing them, as they were elusive. “Normally I’d suggest splitting up and capturing three monkeys each… but I feel like that would make it far more difficult for us individually. I’d rather not have to deal with finding a monkey, capturing it and losing it in the process on the way back here.” Shin would speak aloud, wondering if this was truly the best method – he wouldn’t know since he never had to capture a monkey. “Unless you have a better idea? Honestly, I have no clue what the best way to capture these monkeys is.” The question would be asked aloud to Katsumi, wondering if he had a better sense of relating to how a monkey could be captured more efficiently. He figured if anyone had an idea of how these creatures thought and acted, it would be his colleague for today.

“Right… you're right. I do have experience communicating with a monkey, seeing as I’m doing that right now. Perhaps we should just get you to talk the monkey’s into coming back to the zoo.” Shin would not even spare a glance in Katsumi’s direction, knowing that the other male would have that idiotic expression on his face. As Katsumi agreed to working together and potentially taking longer on the task, Shin would nod. “I know of the technique, though I haven’t utilized it yet. We could simply try with me attempting to distract the monkey and then you sneak up on them and utilizing the Paralysis Jutsu. It would likely be best if we could just lure them back to the zoo, but the jutsu can work as well.” Shin would wait for a reply from Katsumi, seeing which of the two methods they would utilize for their capturing of the monkeys.

As he and Katusmi head out to take out the first of six monkeys, over by the aquatic section, they happened across two of the six they would need to capture. Grabbing the nearest, most interesting object Shin could find, he would attempt to grab the attention of a monkey; which surprisingly worked out. As he got the monkey’s attention, he would slowly start the trek back to the enclosure for the monkeys. With a bit of trouble, though nothing that he could not handle, Shin managed to corral the monkey into its enclosure. Assuming Katsumi handled the other one they found, Shin would wait and they would likely repeat the process for the following four. Eventually all the monkeys were returned – except Katsumi – and they were done for the day.
