adventure time~ [m]

[spade]

Screaming was heard in the Nagamochi residence, it wasn't anything different then from the other mornings, it was just Asato's mother trying to wake him up. "Let's go ASATO! YOU HAVE A MISSION TODAY, WAKE UP."

[/color] She began to scream into his ear, but nothing was working. Leaving, she came back with the big guns; a big bucket of cold water. A evil smirk on her face, she gladly poured the water over her son, who was still in bed. "Ho-ho-holy shit." Immediately jumping up, body shaking and all he stared at his mom. "What the fuck was that for." Ignoring the question, she pointed to the breakfast on the table and the mission slip on his wall. "Oh shit, thanks Mom."

Giving her a kiss on the cheek, he grabbed the mission slip, his trusty lighter and dipped out the door. Not having time to change out of his sleeping attire, tank-top and some shorts he booked it for the gates. Looking at the slip whilst running, it'd read that he'd have to retrieve a watch for some man, that lost it in a dark cave. Thinking to himself how someone could drop a watch off a hill, and magically end up in a cave was beyond him.

Reaching the gates, he took another look at the slip. "Where to go?" He murmured to himself, it said North of Konohagakure. Man, he was never good at directions. Taking his best bet, he made his way through forests and all, it was so hot that day. Thankfully the tall trees blocked most of the sunlight from breaching through and affecting the young ninja. Approaching a steep hill, he saw nothing that resembled a cave at all.

"Where is this freakin' cave." Next time he did something like this, he'd have someone take him to the destination first. He made his way to the top of the hill, and noticed something. A cave! It was on the other side, making his way down the hill he'd go inside the cave. Dark as fuck, he didn't see anything at all. Luckily there was a torch hanging on the wall, and in his pocket was a lighter! Thank god for his pot smoking habits, or he would have been fucked at this point. Lightning the torch ablaze, everything was clear to him now. Carefully venturing further into the cave, watching every step he'd make just in case something where to break or maybe a booby trap of sorts?

Every step was cautious, there was no need getting hurt over find a watch. The torch illuminating the area in front of him, his sky blue optics scanning everything in the Cave that he walked by. Sadly, there was no watch to be found, I mean it didn't grow two legs and take a walk somewhere else. But, he couldn't leave till he found it, no need to report a mission failed. His feet trudging through the cave, footsteps echoing in the distance he'd smile. "ECHO-ECHO-ECHOOOOO" His voice bellowed throughout the entire cave, he always wanted to do something like that, just never had the chance too.

Everything was going good till something responded to him in a grunt, it was but a whisper, signifying that the voice was coming from somewhere deep within the voice. "Or maybe some monster took it, and is chilling with a new watch." He joked, approaching a division in the path he didn't know which one to go for. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a tiger by the toe, if he hollers let him go! Choosing the left path, he'd go straight in.

AND BEHIND DOOR NUMBER ONE IS a brand spanking new watch a steep fall that leads to a lake maybe? But he didn't want to risk the chance of diving in the water, and then finding out it was shallow after having a huge bump on his forehead. Concentrating chakra to his feet, he'd begin to walk off the cliff, immediately transitioning to the wall right under him. Step by step, he'd reach ground level. Guess what, the water was shallow, he was right. Scanning the water below him, nothing was in it. He even moved his hand throughout the giant puddle. If only he specified where to look for it, being in a cave is such a vague description.

This would have sucked if he left his lighter at home, since Asato was a Suiton user and would have had no way to light up the torch. He'd be stuck trying to find his way in this dark cave. Occasional sounds were heard, nothing that really bothered the curious Genin, only made him venture more into the cave. Bats would also occasionally fly away screeching. Scanning the area, he couldn't find not one clue to where the watch was, it felt like he'd already been searching for hours, but in truth it was only about thirty minutes.

"Is that it?" A smiled was shown on his face, as something glistened in the illuminated room he was currently in. The closer he got, the more his smile faded back into a emotionless state. It was just a little crystal on the ground, fuck. There was no where else to go, the path he was on just hit a dead end. Was he going to report the mission as failed? Until he remembered there was a second path. Jumping for joy, he ran back to the beginning, where he chose the left instead of the right. Stopping for a breath, he prayed that beyond door number two was the watch.

A sigh of relief escaped his lips, he knew it had to be in this cave somewhere. The last place that he hadn't looked in yet, was staring him right in the face. The tunnel that he didn't choose to go in, door number two! Noticing that his torch's flame had gotten smaller, he realized the time he had left wasn't much. He'd have to find it before the only thing that illuminated this cave dispersed into a useless item. Moving deeper and deeper within the tunnel, he was getting frustrated. All this walking, looking, and there wasn't even a hint. Until the tunnel floor suddenly began to resemble, dirt, wait, it was dirt.

It's like, it was a secret path to a part of a forest he'd have never seen before. The crazy thing was, there were huge, and he means huge footprints on the ground. This was the only thing that gave him an idea as to who, or what might have taken the watch - as animals are attracted to shiny things. Tossing the torch behind him as he continued to walk, he didn't need it anymore as there were cracks allowing enough light for Asato to see. Unfortunately, a fire was starting behind him, one that he didn't know about.

Seeing small animals scurrying around the floor, it'd come to his knowledge that this was there little spot to chill in and not be bothered. Pretty beautiful if you asked him, the view was nice, and not so far to his right was a nice lake. But, he didn't come to enjoy the scenery, he came to find a watch, the memento of some guys father. As he ventured deeper and deeper, something caught him by surprise. The size of the bear that was sleeping right in front of him, and guess what was lying in front of him? THE WATCH. MISSION RETRIEVE WATCH COMMENCE.

It looked like the bear was the boss man/woman in this part of town, as some animals were just moving towards it and dropping of berries, leaves, fish and the likes for him/her to snack on when it woke up. He'd have to somehow get to the bear without any animals noticing him. Time to do this assassin's creed style, jumping up into the tree that surround the two, he'd start making his way towards the bear who was ten meters away. Scaling tree, by tree, he'd have to make his way towards the one tree behind the bear. But, to do that, he'd have to move in a circular fashion, moving from tree to tree. Luckily, there were no animals in the trees to bother him, so he was scotch free for now.

After five quiet minutes, he'd make it to the tree behind the bear. Observing the scene, he thought up a plan. Dropping down, he landed gracefully not making any noise. Moving towards the front of the bear, it started to move, he backed away slowly but it was probably just him having a bad dream. Bending down, he smiled at the bear, and took the watch. But, a freakin' Monkey of all things came running through, making it's monkey noises and alerted the whole forest. The bear woke up, and he was angry. "SHIT!" Screaming, he began to make a run for it, avoiding any creatures on the ground, they were smart let me tell you.

But, Asato was safe, until he noticed a big fire ahead of him. Shit, nowhere to go, and a freakin' horde of animals coming after you? What to do, thinking quickly, he stuffed the watch into his pockets and--

he began to string a set of kata, inhaling, chakra began to rise in his body. Upon exhalation he released a strong jet of water that he continued spewing out whilst running, and didn't stop till all the fire was gone. For some reason, that had stopped most of the animals from coming after him. They were just mad at him for coming on there territory, fucking with there land, and then dipping. But one was still on him, and it was papa/mama bear. It was still trying to get the trinket back, but it couldn't happen. Feeling bad, he took off the watch he had, it wasn't anything special but he was nearing the dark tunnel and he couldn't have a bear chasing him whilst he couldn't see ahead of him.

Turning around, whilst back peddling slow enough to not fall, he tossed the watch towards the bear. It stopped, and examined the cheap watch - at that time Asato began to book it full speed into the tunnel, continuing to run basing wherever he was going on instinct. After about five minutes throughout the cave, he would see a light at the end of the tunnel. Haha. Finally, he was home free, and he had the watch sitting tight in his pocket. Wiping his forehead of sweat, he exited the cave, and sat down for a minute to catch his breath.

[spade]

"Time to get this thing back to the Hokage." reaching into his pocket, he grasped the watch and held it tightly as he began to walk back home, to his village. That was definitely a nice way to start his day, getting chased by angry animals, and almost getting eaten by a freakin' giant bear. Man, at least he now had a new chill spot. Except this time, he'd approach them more friendlier, with maybe some food or something. Walking towards the village, his next destination the Hokage tower.
