The Impossible Girl

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Akagi's letter is a call to action: Princess Yuki is attempting to breach a Salthound base, and may have need of your help. Find out how you might be able to from the retainer, who is waiting near Memeroon's Trading Post in upper La Noscea.
* Unsurprisingly, the princess is displeased to see you, and has little to say about your offer of assistance. Akagi, meanwhile, all too gladly explains that the Salthounds are in possession of a trading record that is passing through the black markets. Somewhere within this log, he says, there should be information on the Yatsurugi clan's stolen treasures. After this explanation, the retainer then turns to ask Yuki to use you shinobi, only to find that she has already left to infiltrate the base. Oboro quickly outlines a plan to aid her entry: use smoke bombs to distract the guards. Make your way to the designated areas, and defeat any guards attracted by your diversion.
* Your role in diverting the guards' attention has succeeded. Rendezvous with Oboro and Akagi near Poor Maid's Mill to see how they have fared.
* After a brief moment of panic, you turn to see that the puissant princess has already successfully infiltrated the base and returned with the prize. For better or worse, she did not notice the part you played from the shadows. Return to the dock storehouse, and consult with Oboro.
* Though you failed to win over the princess, Oboro nevertheless thinks the day a success. He asks that you now devote yourself to quiet meditation, wherein you might realize new skills and strategies based upon your experiences.※The next ninja quest will be available from Oboro upon reaching level 54.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Akagi at Memeroon's Trading Post.
* Throw smoke bombs at the designated spots and dispatch foes.
* Speak with Oboro near Poor Maid's Mill.
* Speak with Oboro at the dock storehouse.

Oboro 	Akagi has summoned us, [Player Name]. Princess Yuki is attempting to infiltrate a Salthound stronghold. He would have us “save her,” to use his words.
Oboro 	He has managed to delay her near Memeroon's Trading Post. I trust you know the place. Let us away with all haste.
 	
Oboro 	Your mission awaits, [Player Name].
Yuki 	...Yes?
 	
Oboro 	I think it best that you approach Akagi.
 	
Akagi 	Finally! It's not easy keepin' the princess in one place, you know!
Yuki 	Incredible. This is why you had me wait, Akagi? I had thought myself clear: I neither need nor want their help. Go home, shinobi.
Oboro 	Princess, now that we are here, surely there is no harm in telling us your plan.
Akagi 	Oh, we'd be happy to. It's a long story, too. Rumors have been swirlin' about your black markets, about things that sound much like our clan's stolen treasures.
Akagi 	It's hard to pin down rumors like that. But we've also gotten word that some group of pirates─the hounds of salt, or some such─keep records of the black markets. I don't need to tell you how valuable those could be.
Akagi 	'Course, a certain someone is all set on slippin' in to their camp by herself. But I can't see to lettin' that─
Akagi 	Ahhh! Not again! Always sneakin' off on her own like that...
Oboro 	Seeing as she is already gone, we cannot stop her. However, we still might lend her aid by clearing obstacles from her path.
Oboro 	Here, [Player Name]─smoke bombs. You will catch the attention of the nearby watchmen if you set these off near the camp. Incapacitate them, and the princess may pass unnoticed.
Akagi 	Ah, a fake attack? My axe is for show, mainly, but I'll help where I can.
Oboro 	Very well. Akagi, go east. I will go north. We will rendezvous to the southeast of Poor Maid's Mill when done.
Monstera01684 	Who goes there?
Monsterb01684 	Wh-What's that sound!?
Monsterc01684 	Intruder! We've got an intruder!
 	
Akagi 	Whew... Only a diversion, you said, but it was bloody frightenin'!
 	
Oboro 	All we can do, we have done. Princess Yuki should have made it inside by now.
Monster01684 	Heh...hehe... P–Put paid to the watch, but n–not the watchdogs... Wh–When they get their teeth into you lot... Ehehehe! <gurgle>
Oboro 	What!? Quickly, [Player Name], inside the camp!
Yuki 	Save yourselves the effort. The black market records are mine.
Yuki 	Our jade jewel is mentioned in here. The Midare Kanemitsu dagger, as well.
Yuki 	It seems the former was sold, but finding the buyer should not be difficult. And the blade will be up for auction shortly.
Oboro 	Princess! You are safe! Did you not meet with any resistance?
Yuki 	Resistance? Oh, them?
Oboro 	You did that, Princess?
Akagi 	She's not the pride of our clan for nothin'! The princess's a skilled fighter. She's tried her hand at your ninjutsu, too. Not even her instructors can keep up with her these days.
Yuki 	I trust you see now why I have no need of your help. I will reclaim my clan's property myself!
Akagi 	<sigh> I just wish she understood what she means to our clan... Well, thank you for today. I'll have need of your help again soon─but let's keep it on the sly, eh?
Oboro 	Come, let us return to our haunt. You must meditate on what you have seen here, to focus your thoughts into weapons anew.
 	
Oboro 	Well, the princess's trust is not yet yours, but she is safe. Were this a trial, you would have passed.
Oboro 	But your mind is full. Still your thoughts. Listen to what your heart says in the silence. In so doing, you will grow as a shinobi.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
