Tori Hitonomi stops and stares upon reaching the edge of the forest where the mice were apparently living, with Ai the puppet draped over his shoulders so that she doesn't touch the ground and get dirty. With an almost imperceptible groan, he remembers the frantic woman who seemed to be so very worried about the mice that had destroyed her garden. He had wanted to slap her to shut her up or calm her down or both. Her nervous energy had made him nervous, even though mice were not what he would think of as dangerous. Enough of these walks down memory lane.
At this thought, he grabs Ai from his back and swings her over his head, connecting his chakra strings to her so that he can control her movements and allow her to land feet-first instead of crumpling to a heap. The puppet's metallic fingernails flash in the sunlight and even some of the senbon in her hair catch the light of the sun. He begins to move into the forest with his puppet at the ready, his eyes searching about for signs of the mice. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees a sudden movement and he swings his arms quickly to get his puppet moving towards the movement. Tori makes the arm swing down with the nails pointed down and there's the sound of metal sinking into the soft, fertile ground. Just when Tori thinks that the puppet has killed the mouse, he finds that the puppet had actually trapped the mouse in its hand without hurting it.
Well, the mission is the capture the mice, not to kill them... With an evil smile, he makes Ai pick up the mouse and put it inside its storage compartment in its large stomach, then quickly closes the compartment so that the mouse cannot escape.
