Scouting Our Territory[Mission]

[Deacan]

reward; 50 experience, 1,000 ryo
minimum shinobi; one
mission status; interminable

Deacan walked to the mission compound, his rapier dangling from his side and his senbon launches attached to his wrist, each of them full of his weapons. It occurred to him as he walked towards the mission compound that he should try to learn acupuncture at some point. It seems like something that would be useful to know how to use and it could be used offensively or defensively. It was an odd thought for most ninja, but then again Deacan was a medical ninja, focused on helping and healing instead of damaging, though he didn't have anything against doing some damage.

Deacan made his way into the large doors of the mission compound, walking towards the scrolls. There were lots of them, from every rank imaginable, though the S-section was always kept someplace else, away from genin's eyes and out of their reach. No one would want a genin accidentally killing himself on a mission so far out of his rank. Deacan grabbed a C-rank mission, opening the scroll and reading over it's contents. It wasn't to troublesome, just a re-mapping of the area surrounding the village.

Deacan walked out of the compound, dragging his feet. He really didn't like doing such trivial missions, but they needed to be done. It was just another job after all. He had just happened to choose it. Deacan walked through the village, his shoes kicking up dirt and dust with each step, due to him basically dragging his feet forward. To do this mission he would need to leave the village, so that meant he had to go through the gates. It had been awhile since he had been to them. The last time, he had left the entire country and went to Hi no Kuni, and wound up in Konoha. It was quite an odd occasion.

Deacan walked towards the large gate at the end of the village. It always had guards on it, and he would need to go through the gate if he wanted to deal with his mission. He walked up to them and showed them the scroll and his headband. It wasn't procedure, but he had started giving them a password that he had to give the guards to return into the village. This way, anyone using Henge no Jutsu would be unable to imitate him.
"The code is fire walker." This phrase meant nothing to him, but it was easy enough to remember. After that, he left the village.

[Deacan]

This mission was a bit different from his others. Deacan didn't have a target this time, so he didn't need to find a target in that sense. But he did need to find a starting point and to go from there to do his mission. After all, this had to be very exact so no overlapping was allowed. This might save someone's life some day. If they were lucky enough to have a map. So these needed to be extremely precise, something Deacan didn't have much of a problem with, due to the precision needed in his daily work anyway.

Deacan made his way to a tree and started to mold his chakra, preparing his Scattering of One Thousand Crows technique in case it was needed, but for now he was just going to keep it as a back up. He would use it if things got out of hand or as a last bit of touch-up, giving the maps an aerial view just in case. The first thing Deacan had to do was mark his starting position, and so he did. He marked it with a large D on the tree in front of him and he began exploring. He needed to find landmarks as welll as keep track of the time it took him to move from point A to B, that way he could get a general distance.

1 - Prepped - Sanzengarasu no Jutsu (Scattering One Thousand Crows Technique) [70 Released]
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Crows can exist as far as the eye can see, or until the user leaves the thread, and take no additional chakra for upkeep. Up to 10 are summoned initially, with 10 more each time this jutsu is re-learned for a maximum of 100 crows. Crows move almost as fast as kunai, and maintain a mental chakra connection to the user for the sake of communication.
Description: The base behind the Akegarasu is their control and use of crows in battle, displayed well with this technique. After forming a few simple seals, the crow king will call upon a murder of crows to fly around and envelop the target, causing confusion with their dark forms and quick movement. From here, either a comrade or the user can move within the flock wearing dark clothes and wielding a dark weapon almost undetected. With the target distracted by the crows, the ninja can strike more efficiently. Finally, the mass of crows can obscure any retreating ninja, as the crows are massive in numbers and composed of the user's chakra. When no longer needed, the murder of crows will simply puff away in smoke.
Domain: Akegarasu.

Deacan took about 15 seconds to get to the next marker. It was a large stone, but on the map from the previous scouting party it seemed the distance was a bit off. According to Deacan's logic, he was 30 Meters away from his starting position. He wrote it down and market it on a new map. The map so far had a large stone and the village itself, the gates being to the south west of the rock about 60 meters. It was 30 meters to his tree, and 30 more meters to the gates.

Deacan kept going in a large circle keeping track of both the distances from each other and the objects themselves. It wasn't hard work, but it was long and tedious and Deacan found it difficult to stay so focused for so long. It was becoming tough to concentrate, though he knew he had to in order to make this map as precise as he could. Some landmarks were new and some were completely gone. Deacan guessed it was the movement of the land, and the Island had moved a bit due to a Doton user of some sort. So this was why the maps needed re-drawing...

[Deacan]

Deacan was about 3/4ths of the way done now. It wasn't difficult, but it was becoming tedious and he had to regularly go back and forth to the wall surrounding the village to get an idea of his distance from it. Small markings on the wall, itty bitty cracks or even a scuff in the paint let him know how far he was from the last marker and a straight line let him know the distance to his markers. If he kept up this pace, he would be out here another hour, but using shortcuts was always untrustworthy, so he decided against using the crow scattering technique. Besides, the bird could only go as far as he could see, so, to get maximum effectiveness, he would need to be in the air where his view was unobstructed.

Deacan spent the next hour working, before activating his crow storm and giving his birds a command ² to carry him into the sky. This way he could get a very detailed account for direction, as well as distances. As the crows carried him up, other crows flew between the markings he had made from the ground. The pit of sand, the rock, the ocean, etc.... Each traveling at a uniform speed. Deacan used this to get an almost exact measure of distance and angles from A to B. He then sat himself down by his tree.

Released Scattering of One Thousand Crows, prepped in post one.
2 - Used supplementary technique -
Satsujin no Nami (Murder's Wave)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Crows can operate as far as the eye can see, following the same restrictions as the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Requires at least 10 crows summoned with the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Number of crows used determines the number of targets capable of being carried off and the number of secondary weapons that can be swept away. By using the 'Kurafutikarasu' technique, secondary items that have been swept away can be held by the crows in question and used against the opponent following the restrictions of said technique. Crows sweep target's away at 5 meters a second, until said target escapes their grip or until the user is comfortable with the distance and-or result.

10 crows // 5 secondary weapons
20 crows // 10 secondary weapons // 1 person
30 crows // 20 secondary weapons // 2 people
40 crows // 30 secondary weapons // 3 people
50 crows // 40 secondary weapons // 4 people
+10 crows // +10 secondary weapons // +1 person


Description: Often used as a counter by Akegarasu, this effective technique utilizes the user's crows to fend off projectile-weaponry and even drag away targets who may be too close for the user's comfort. Through means of their mental connection with the master, the murder will flock towards and repel whatever it has been designated to counter. Using their beaks and talons, they will amass in unison to carry off projectile-weapons thrown or pull a person backwards. Though it has been used many times in the past as a means of fending off someone or using their projectiles against them, there have quite a few cases in which the Murder's Wave truly lived up to its name- by throwing people off a cliff, for example, or driving them into a wave of fire.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Deacan quickly rushed back to the gates of the village. He sat there for a few minutes while they checked and made sure of everything. It was usual routine, but he had to try to rush these slow people as much as he could. He showed his headband and looked at them.
"Fire Walker." Now that he thought about it, giving them a password to remember might not be the best idea, but he would think on that later. For now he had to head to the mission compound to turn this thing in.

He ran through the village, dodging and weaving between multiple people to avoid head on collisions. It wasn't difficult since they weren't focused on hitting him, but he still was in a bit of a rush. He made it to the gates of the compound and pushed open the doors and walked in. He sat his mission scroll down and looked at the men as they checked his work on the map.

With that, he was done with this mission, whether they approved it or not wasn't his call.
