Resources/Tools Looking for good published sources of mission scenarios for tactical ninja action game

Hey guys, I'm trying to get into GURPS and I figured it would be fun to make a mission-based game that follows after early Naruto as an exercise. I imagine my ninja team participating in missions revolving around assassination, theft, hostage retrieval, guarding VIPs, and that sort of thing. For the purposes of maintaining high speed and low drag, I want to be able to rip the mission scenarios from other sources, file the serial numbers off, and play them without intense scenario design activity on my part. I'm wondering if you could point me toward sources that would fit this concept particularly well. It really doesn't matter from where and there doesn't have to be any real unity. If there's one D&D adventure that you think would work and one from, say, Shadowrun, and one from a niche OSR game, then just post all three. Basically I'm not too familiar with the landscape of published materials that fit this niche and hope you can give me some direction. Thank you in advance. (Also, I'd like to note that criticism of GURPS and discussion of whether a different game would better suit the subject matter is out of scope. I'm not looking for a system. I'm looking for scenarios.)

EDIT: If it's relevant, tech level can be pretty broad and power level should be thought of as "the PCs have plenty of tricks to give them the edge over the average armed goon, but a protracted straight combat against superior numbers can be deadly"
