Departing from the mission kiosk, he would not waste a moment. The elegant boy moved throughout the village, destination Beach. He pardoned himself throughout the town as time was of the essence. The ceremony was about to begin and the importance of the ashes being there was vital.

Making his way to the beach he would sigh. His eyes searched and searched and searched, but through so many people being there.

"Mrs. Hanakora?"

He called out avoiding sandcastles being built by the children.

"You boy..."

Kasuke's attention was brought to an older man.

"She has strayed herself from the party...She is by the diving bridge...just staring into the water. It's probably best you leave her alone." With that, he would let Kasuke be.

He had a mission...

Just as he was about to give up the mission his eyes met with the woman. Mrs. Hanakora.

"Miss..." Kasuke stood shyly with a gentle grin.

"You..." The lady said. "You're a ninja...My mission request has been answered...Please, make this ceremony happen..." She dropped to her knees.

Kasuke was in shock. No one has begged to him before. A small blush appeared on his cheek as he nodded. "Miss. I need you to tell me where it could be."

"I left it in the safety of my old shack....It had been raided by pranksters but if I call, they have not opened up the steel door to the basement level....here's the key. Go! Quick."

"Yes ma'am"

The beautiful shy boy made his way to leave the beach before he was stopped by a man. His collar was gripped as he was pulled off the ground. "Hey Kid." It was the same guy who guided Kasuke to not talk to the woman. "If you know what is in your best interest, you will give the Urn to me with the ashes. I am her grandson, and that vase is worth a lot of money. I want that money. Sis would not listen." His cold breath spoke as he spat to the ground. " I want the ashes to spread throughout the ocean. Grandma would want it that way. Plus, she would want us to be rich to with that foreign vase. No one will know. I will say you returned it and you will get your money."

He quickly dropped Kasuke as a crowd was heading over this way. The Yamanaka chose to flee the scene.

He had two options.

Complete the mission successfully. Or give it to the brother who claimed he knew more as well as was giving Kasuke part of the profit....

Leaving the crowded beach, he went onward to the shack...

[kasuke]

Kasuke moved to leave the beach making his way through the town. He was given instructions on where the shack would be. The elegant ninja quickened his pace; time was essential.

As he walked past her house he noticed a group of young adults looking around. "Hey!" They called the flamboyant Ninja over.

"My mother put in a mission for finding an urn with ashes in it. She's dead. I don't get why we have to continue celebrating but it's a waste of time."

"I intend to find it..." Kasuke spoke silently as he shyly looked away.

"Well we will make a deal. If you find it bring it to us. That urn is valuable in money wise and our uncle wants it. He wants to use the money for himself. At least we want to use the money for something more useful. There's no point celebrating the dead's birthday. Mother needs to forget about her grandmother and just move on! We have lives to do. She has her job, and we each have studies to do. With the edifice, the money could bring us to better education. We can learn how to become professors, scientists, and more" The kids were almost speaking all at once before Kasuke spoke.

"I'll see..."

With thus he left them. So he had three choices. Complete the mission properly. Make it worth his own while giving it to the brother, or give it to the kids who wanted to use the money to seek am higher education as well as help their mother forget about the dead. The brother was very mean. The young adults had a legit cause yet the mission was that he delivered it safely to Mrs. Hanakora.

Sooner, he would come across the shack on his pathway. Simple. The boy opened the door to find, a regular tool shed. The door almost came off due to how old it was. Taking the key that was offered to him in the beginning, he would open up the steel basement door.

...Fear ran through the boy's eyes. He was always afraid of creepy places. They could contain bugs, or even worse, spiders! However, a mission was a mission, and if he wanted to work his way up to what he truly wanted to be then he needed to move on deeper into the cave like basement.

[kasuke]

And they said getting the ashes would not be a problem. Kasuke was terrified of the dark. He must've been the only ninja that was.

Hand pressed against the wall to his right, guiding his way through the dungeon like area. He felt his hand brush against stone and cobwebs as small whimpers escaped his scared self. He could just imagine spiders crawling all over his arm by now.

His walk quickened, making a few turns and stumbling over a desk. That's when his ears caught something. He had knocked the urn and heard it fall on its side. His hands immediately shot to it. Bringing it closer to his eyes, he was right, it was the grandmother's ashes. His hands rubbed all over it making sure he didnt crack it. It was lucky it just tilted on the desk.

Mission complete. He would find his way through the darkness, retracing teh steps he made and exit the area.

"I...this belongs to Mrs. Hanakora." He whispered to himself.

His destinatation set, he would be heading for the beach.

[kasuke]

He took a different path.

Kasuke did not like confrontation and if he had to meet the young adult guys again, it would make him sick.

Holding the urn carefully he would maneuver his way through the town making his way to the beach. Upon entry, it would be time to search for the woman.

The beach was packed and it was getting late evening. He needed to find her quickly.

"Hey"

The big guy before who wanted the urn approached Kasuke. "I knew you would come through!"

"Uhh.." Kasuke would keep a hold of the urn.

"Mrs. Hanakora!" He called out.

This caused the brother to give Kasuke a dirty look and walk away. Sooner than later the gentle lady he had met approached him.

"You got it!~" She exclaimed as she practically tore it from Kasuke's arms.

As the blue urn sat in her arms, she inspected it noticing no cracks whatsoever.

"Stay for the celebration" She smiled. "You've done so much and I'm truly greatful."

Mrs. Hanakora would drag the boy to a table for dinner and although the shy boy hated crowds, he enjoyed his food.

The celebration lasted throughout the night with fireworks, food, swimming and a special birthday prayer for the grandmother.

All in all, Kasuke could say this mission was a success!
