If a missing nin is spotted or a shinobi from another country is found, do not engage. Report back to the Hokage immediately. Reward: 50 EXP and 1,000 Ryo The Day was young and Bit found him self at a lack of lust to do anything, Other than walk around and look at people crazy. He had heard that there was a mission that involved leaving the village for just some routine scouting. Seemed easy enough so he made his way down to the Hokage’s residency to find this mission he was told about. When he finally arrived there, It was just as buys as ever, Other Shinobi moving about. Stepping through the random crowds of people, Bit would finally get to the mission board. His eyes quickly scanned the wall cause he knew what he was looking for “Aha gotcha.” The Uchiha would say as he grabbed the mission slip of the wall. While he headed over to the desk looked the mission slip over and began to read it to make sure it was the write one. “Hello there, I would like to pick up this mission right here if you don’t mind.” Bit would say to the receptionist as she stood behind her desk looking busy as ever. “No problem Bit.” She would go on to stamp his slip. “Thank you, I’ll see you in a couple of hours ok?” He would say as he grabbed his mission slip off the table. The receptionist would wave her hand as the Uchiha stepped off heading for the door. “This mission should be pretty easy, If everything goes smoothly.” Bit would say as he exited the building. made by renni

The day was the same as another, failing to stray away or deviate from its endless line of predecessors. Since Genryu's disappearance, what little excitement for life that dwelt within Ue seemed to have spilled from his very being and into an endless pit of nullity, never to be reclaimed again. However, though it was far from excitement, a spark of interest ignited within as Ue mulled over his abrupt meeting with this samurai who laid claim that it was a necessity for him to pay Konohagakure his dept. But the meaning behind his words presented itself as nothing more than a enigma to Ue's mind, an unsolved case waiting to be cracked open and solved by some sly detective.

It seemed as though not even a small sliver of joy laid within his heart, but it would have seemed so at first glance, but truth be told, his heat had done nothing more but encase itself in a vengeful shell that coveted to taste the blood of those who were responsible for Genryu's 'death'. Nevertheless, even with the weight of this news weighing heavily upon his shoulders, he pressed on, continuing to fulfill his duties as a Konoha shinobi to the brim.

("I must not let these thoughts disturb me so, not when the village is in need of my aid. I have to pull myself together and continue onward.")

Halting his assembly line of thoughts as he aimlessly marched through the streets of Konohagakure, he came to the missions compound, the perfect place for him to do some sort of task to take his mind from the current events that have pelted upon him one after another. His satiny brown hair sway left and right as he stopped just short of the compounds mission, peering upwardly towards the Hokage's office, almost as if he could see through the walls themselves. He needed no such ability to ascertain that the Hokage has yet to return from his mysterious escapade.

Continuing his steps with the missions panel as his current destination, Ue noticed another shinobi among the masses that walked within the room. Impeccable timing indeed, quickly he approached the desk, volunteering to help the shinobi since the mission he was delegated had been relatively fresh.

"Yes, I'll join you. . .if you do not mind that is, I don't want to impose."

As Bit grabbed his mission slip he would hear a voice coming from behind him. He wan't to sure who it could, but he knew that it couldn't be any type of threat. So he turned slowly to face the man that approached me, He spoke of joining Bit on his mission. Bit would hand would slowly raise to the top of his head as he looked slightly down upon the mans faces. "Umm sure, having company on a mission always makes it better." the Uchiha would go on to say as he clinched his mission slip. Now that he had someone tagging along during his mission he wouldn't be able to be as lax as he wanted to be. But he kept his composure as he made his way out of the door, provided that the man was following Bit would begin to speak. "So yea, Like uhhh what's your name?" Bit would ask with a curious tone as the made there way out of the Hokages residents. Just as the Uchiha did he always looked down upon people he didn't know, because he felt like they need to show him there power before he respected them on that level. "Well if your curious my name is Uchiha, Bit." He would say with a hint of confidence in his voice. "We got a pretty simple mission on our hands today, Just some basic scouting you know? it should be pretty fun." He would say as his hand met the top of his head again. The finally arrived at the gates bypassing the guards, Bit would signal to them that they were just going to come back after they finished there routine rounds. Once outside the gate the Uchiha poundered about which way to go until he finally came to the conculion that they were going to the right. as they strolled across the path the Uchiha enjoyed the quite time as they walked down the path. A woman would step from behind the tree holding a kunai in her left hand. The Uchiha would smile because he could tell she wasn’t much of an fighter. “You know those things are dangerous don’t you?” Bit would say to the girl as he fixed his ocean blue eyes on the woman. Her face turned red almost instantly “No there not, I know how to use mines you bum! Now tell me what your doing out here!” the woman would say. “Bit would stand to his feet towering about 8 inches over the woman. “Oh nothing I was just relaxing, ya know? Im just wondering around the forest making sure it’s safe for people like you.” He would say to the girl as he approached her. “Can I have that kunai? I don’t want you to hurt your self miss.” Bit would say once he got close enough to reach the woman. The woman would look at him with a puzzled face as she handed over the kunai. “Thank you now you can get on about your business” he would say as he turned his back to her. made by renni

Ue's focus remained hard upon the Uchiha's frame as he pivoted to step away from the attendants desk, taking the missions scroll along with him for possible reference or to merely just refresh ones memory of the task now at hand. The mind could forget something as fast as a snapping finger, so it wasn't unnatural to frequently glance over the missions information, in fact, it was a sign of clearcutness, an age-old trait that lived deep within Ue himself; A incessant desire to complete any given task with perfection. Layered in his crimson, iron clad armour, Ue followed suit, leaving the missions compound with his new ally, one of which would prove to be closer to Ue than he himself initially expected.

Not even a second after taking their leave from the establishment had the Uchiha let loose an assembly line of words, inquiring about Ue's identity as a fellow Konoha comrade, though he seemed quite nervous, that, or he lacked social skills given the way his words were structured and formulated. Quickly and abruptly, silence settled in, making it seem as though Ue had arrogantly ignored his 'partner' to dwell upon more important, but such had not been the case. He was merely distracted, drawn into the bustling activity and cultivated life that Konoha's streets filled with; it was a captivating feeling to him. Perhaps this is what Genryu felt as upon his return. Quickly snapping back to the Uchiha, Ue introduced himself.

"Oh, sorry for my lateness but I'm Ue Zenkami, Genryu Uchiha's successor".

In turn he revealed his own identity as yet another Uchiha, a clan of people that seemed to gravitate towards Ue with kindness and respect, and vice versa. Having exclaimed that this mission was rather easy, Ue could only agree with a quick, second long nod as he continued to trail behind Bit.

("Another Uchiha. Hmm. I guess I'll always be fated to intermingle with the lives of his people. How fortunate I've become.")

Finally, after minutes of tedious travel, the two reached the gates, cutting the guards a quick glance and nod as their credentials checked out to successfully leave the village without suspicion. Nevertheless the two peacefully trekked through the bastion of oak and emerald, however, their tranquil strides would be short lived as a voice that beseemed a woman billowed into the air, catching his attention. with a quick swivel of both heels, he spun around¹⁸⁰, only to catch sight of a woman with a kunai in hand 10 meters to Ue's front. Watching Bit work his magic, he merely waited as he resolved the issue with the girl.

After Bit had taken the Kunai from the woman, he would turn his back to head back towards Ue-san. The Uchiha thought to him self it was nice for people outside of the hidden leaf to want to protect there land. It showed what pride people had for there country in whole. But just as Bit reached Ue, the girl would come running jumping onto the Uchiha’s back. “My name is Yoshi Oshida, And I will be following you two until you leave from around here.” The woman would go on to say as she hung from the Bit’s back. The young Shinobi would pay little to no attention to the woman on his back as he continued to walk beside his partner. “HEY YOU BLONDEY LISTEN TO ME!” Yoshi would scream into Bit’s air once she noticed he payed her no mind. “Ok, But first you have to get the heck of my back.” He would going on to say. Yoshi would slowly let go of him dropping down from off his shoulders on to the ground. “Ok you can follow just try to keep it down were kind of working here.” He would go on to say once she was complete off his back. Now the three of them would continue to walk down the same path that Ue and Bit started down. As they left the woods they would arrive in a large area with a pound at the center of it. The Uchiha had found memory’s of this pounds it was the place where he met Generyu and The Hokages little brother. “Hey Ue, this is where I met Generyu for the first time.” Bit would say as he took a slight pause as he peered off into the lake. “I haven’t heard anything from him since though, I have been wondered if he had left the village for some important village or some shit like that.” Bit would go on to say as he back up from the pound. This area brought back so many memories for Bit it was to much for him to think about while he was on this mission. “Well shall we keep going?” Bit would go on to say asking Ue to take the league. made by renni

As a shinobi, ones life was always on the line, always sought after from prying eyes and cold blades ready to taste the flesh of their enemies without disinclination. There was no room for error. Never the less as Bit and the lone girl divulged, Ue grew more relaxed as she appeared to be no threat, however, his wits would stay about him. Quizzical, scrutinizing eyes remained hard upon the girl as she continued to play with bit, however, truth be told she seemed a little bit too kind, almost as if to be deceptive with it. Bit seemed to trust others fairly quickly, however, Ue was never one to do so, he's paid that price once before and never will he again.

("Does Bit not see this, this woman is overly kind and too open to accepting others to the point where its rather. . .uncanny and unusual. Hm, I'll lay back and allow those two to hit it off and observe. . .for now.")

Nonetheless he wouldn't allow his thoughts nor lack of trust for the girl physically manifest, it would all remain within the safety of his own mind. Trailing some 3 meters behind the two, their quick strides carried them to an rural opening of land, one of which bore a rich, shimmering pond. Ue himself held no sentimental bond with this pond, however, Bit seemed to himself as he began to divulge to Ue about his encounter with the very man that molded Ue into what he was as a shinobi. Quickly he mentioned Genryu's absence and in that decisive moment a look of great sadness settled in upon Ue's face, bringing his painful 'worse case' scenario's to the forefronts of his mind.

"I believe something may have happened to Genryu, he hasn't been back in days. Neither has that Chuunin he left with. ANd with the hokage currently gone, leaf is vulnerable, too vulnerable. Once Ryu gets back I will bring this to his attention and find whomever is responsible for his delay."

His tone transitioned, taking on a more aggressive, yet, depressed tone, one that induced a sense of deep gloom upon the area.

As the word spilled from Ue's mouth Bits face cringed a little. He had somewhat of an similar feeling as Ue, Generyu had not returned from that mission to find Iwagakure. It was weighing on his conscious, he felt like he should have told the kage where the gates were. As they kept walking down the path Bit's mind was just wandering all over the place. He couldn't think of anything to say to try to reassure his new accomplice that Generyu safety. "Well I guess I'll join you when you visit Ryu-Sama." Bit continued to walk not saying a word just pondering what his next move will be. Until it finally came to him while they walked in silence down the path. "So what do you do? Like as far is fighting talent Ue, I was just curious cause you know CE's are coming up?" He would say with a small laugh after words. While he waited for him to answer Bit would reach for the back of his head. made by renni

[Messatsu!]

Digging deeper into his mind, mulling over Genryu missing in action, his fist clenched in a assortment of emotions, so much so that small trickles of blood began to swim across the surface of his hand only to lavish the settlement of his home. His eyes sealed shut as his face contorted in anger and sadness, allowing the hate that stirred within to feed without resistance and grow exponentially. At first glance one would have suggested him just being a dog that lost his way, but granted, that is only through the eyes of those who lacked truth of the situations.

Ue was a orphaned child, stripped of his biological parents all thanks to the prehends of previous shinobi wars. Alone, cold, and helpless one man stepped forth to guide him, to selflessly place him upon the path of the shinobi for reasons still unknown. It was due to this enigma, that made Genryu's status his primary objectives above a great many things. Nevertheless, before his thoughts could get any deeper and any more depressing, a single voice derailed his train of thought, causing his face to burst with shock while whipping his head towards as he offered to accompany him to meet up with Ryu upon his much needed return.

A quick nod was all that had been given to make known that Bit's words fell upon heedful ears, however, he was not yet finished, for he soon inquired Ue's own combative prowess in correlation of the Chuunin exams. Given that the two were comrades and were equally participating, it would bring a much needed tactical advantage if they divulged upon their strengths and weaknesses. Continuing to walk with Bit, he would inform him of his abilities as clear and thorough as possible.

"Well, though I lack any special bloodline abilities, I've actually come to control Shouton chakra, along with the sub elements that composes it - Katon, Raiton, and Doton. However, I'm more proficient in doton more than anything. Mastering it so that 3 usage of doton ninjutsu at once is my limit, however, I plan to increase this."

Retrogressing into a more calm, stable state of mind and being, his focus remained hard upon the girl 5 meters to his front, watching her intently like a sly fox would a innocent rabbit.

"Katon, Raiton, Doton. Sounds good I haven't heard much about Shouton but im pretty sure its good as well." Bit would go on to say as he walked along the rocky path. "Me my self I'm pretty good with Suiton, It's kind of my thing ya know." He would say with a slight laugh followed by a couple of words. "I kind of contridict my self with this element, consider I'm an Uchiha." Bit would say as he grinned and scratched his head a little bit. The Uchiha was just trying to lighting the mood a little ,because he could tell that Ue was kind of bothered by the topic they touched on. As they walked Bit eyes directed it self straight to the sky. He started to remember things that he talked about with his aunt. He couldn't hope but to feel a little joy in his heart, because he finally met someone in his family. But something else was also on the young Shinobi's mind, The fact that he met his father in what seemed like a dream. He was pretty sure it wasn't some type of illusion, because he would have been able to sense it. "Yea I think that's think we did enough scouting for today Ue, we can turn around and head home." He would say once he stopped and made full contact with his partner. "And Yoshi you can go home now, were going to head home. You be safe in this forest you hear me?" Bit would say to the girl as she nodded her head and turned away from the duo, She started to walk away. made by renni

[Messatsu!]

Having shared his combative abilities with Bit, he in turn did the same, revealing his natural talent within the arts of water. A force underrated, yet, concurrently one of the most powerful of the elements. Without a doubt, and for some uncanny reason, its power is frowned upon, only being revered when in the hands of a great mind and a level of near insurmountable skill. Bit was strong indeed, that much Ue could ascertain without initially seeing his art at work, and as such, he trusted him to carry the exact mind and skill to masterfully and powerfully tame Poseidon himself. But he soon said something, something that briefly vexed Ue's mind, it was that Bit claimed that him having knowledge of suiton contradicted his very heritage as a Uchiha - Ue obviously thought otherwise.

("Odd, I myself would see this as a blessing, to be skilled enough to not only hone the innate powers of ones innate heritage, but deviate and branch off and further ones knowledge of the art. An impressive feat if you ask me. This Bit is something else, there's definitely more to him than what meets the eye."")

His calculative mind was already hard at work, seamlessly sifting through mental images of attacks and various combo's that Ue and Bit could create just from their knowledge of multiple releases, the possibilities was nothing short of massive if not endless itself. His arms folded inwardly, as his right bent at an angle as so to mirror the famed 'thinking man' statue. Silence settled in once more, but it was only due to his incessant desire to gain a tactical advantage over his enemies even if he lacks knowlege of who or what his impending opponents could be. It never hurt a shinobi to be prepared.

It'd been a couple of hours since their departure from their home, and quite frankly, with the physical condition obtained only be being indoctrinated in the ways of the shinobi, they were able to clear more ground walking than a average human would jogging. Nevertheless Ue heeded Bits plea to return, and simply followed suit as he alter his path of direction.

"That girl didn't seem suspiciously kind to you Bit? If not, perhaps it was merely my paranoia getting the better of me."

His words came forth like cold drops of rain on molten lava, but of course he held enough courtesy to allow to girl to walk a fair distance before speaking.

"Yeah, but I really didn't pay her any mind. I was pretty sure if she attempted to do anything to harm either one of us, she would be the one in need of medical attention." Bit would go on to say to him partner as they changed directions and headed back to there home. This was the first Shinobi outside of Generyu that he could actually relate to on some type of level. The Uchiha thought to him self as they strolled alone, retracing the path that they already walked. The Uchiha had a strange feeling in his gut though, It was kind of like he was itching to see his partner work. But he let it fly over his head, just like the clouds up above did. "So CE's should be breeze right?" Bit would ask why he held a slight smile on his face. The Uchiha was kind of reassured, By the fact that someone close to the same age was going to Chunnin Exams with him. It seemed like everything was starting to come together for the young Uchiha. The path seemed like it was coming to an end, as Bit could see the village walls from where he was stand. "Looks like were pretty much done here Ue, All we gotta do is report in to the Kage residents." Bit would say as they neared the gates. "I enjoyed completing this mission with you, we should do this again sometime. Or if you ever in the mood to just sit down and have a drink just let me know." Bit would say try to extend the hand of friendship with a man whom he had just met. Exits. made by renni

[Messatsu!]

Ue's gaze uplifted, meeting properly with Bits own as he began to divulge his true thoughts about the girl, seeing her as no threat at all to the two. Perhaps it indeed was Ue's paranoia, who could blame him, or blame any shinobi that's been born in war and raised by the battlefield. With the chuunin exams freshly on his mind, Bits inquiry of success made it all the more pleasant. A breeze? he believed so, with his masterful prowess over the arts of fire and earth he was quite confident with the outcome itself. With the power of mother earth and that hatred fueled flames of hades at his wayside, he would eliminate all possible obstacles.

"A breeze? Yes I think it will be. The other villages have no idea what they're up against. Not the slightest clue. "

A quick smile cut across his face, a deep seated sign that showed a brief relinquishment of his sadness. He couldn't stay like that forever, for it'd affect him both mentally and physically, one of the many lessons taught to him from Genryu. Nevertheless he needed to purge his mind of such pessimistic traits and swap them with positivity, he'd need it were he to surmount one of the toughest challenges to date.

("The Chuunin exams are indeed very close, I must continue to prepare myself until that time comes. There are several ways to increase my prowess over Katon I know. Unfortunately I'd need a powerful craftsmen. Perhaps they'll provide me one when the Chuunin exams begin.")

Silently brooding upon the reservoir of power that dwelt within him, he continued along with his quick, long strides, reaching the gates along side his ally - Bit Uchiha. Having successfully completed yet another mission. He bade Bit his farewell, departing with a few simple words.

"Yeah that'd be nice, looking forward to seeing you at the exams as well."
