[/i] the thought bestowing upon my shoulders as I stepped even closer to the guards who held the men and women back. I couldn’t help but find myself trapped in somewhat of a trance – the faces of the people I were going to save. Surely their molded frowns would have been turned upside down had they known my true intentions.

“That is enough guards – you may stop using force. . .” I said calmly to ease them. At once all of them had turned around halting their remarks for a moment as my presence graced them with open arms. “tsu…tsuchikage sama ! I am sorry for this delay but this angry mob has gotten larger since yesterday!” one of the head guards said – reminding me why I had let out the mission in the first place.

I simply nodded to him in approval whilst simultaneously conjuring a plan of diction. Speeches were not my forte but it seemed that the time had finally called for one. With a deep sigh and an outstretched palm I would advert their attention towards me. The crowd seemed to calm down now that I had shown my face.

[/b] The questions pierced my soul with spiritual daggers. If I hadn’t become the patient man I were today I might have killed them all. Instead I looked to them heavily – eyes baring somewhat of a chilled state of mind.

Had they not been shown to the village? Surely some other form of information had gotten to them somehow. There were no other valid truth than that of the council. They had done many things in preparation for the fall of the village – but I had other plans instead. After clearing my throat I’d halt them all with one single…

“Alright!! Enough!” Their voices became silent as I’d begun to speak. My anger becoming the transition within my figure I’d walk forth grabbing a man from out the crowd slamming him to the ground. Before talking my finger would point north towards the village tower. “Do you see that!? Hunh!? THERE IS NOTHING! What sort of luxury do you think I’m living!? I’m out there busting my ass for all of you and this is the thanks I get!?”

I’d yelled out with a feverish tone. My voice seemingly trembling beneath the anger I’d presented now within this area. The mans blank stare alerted me that the message had gotten through to him somewhat – but I just couldn’t let that be the deciding words – something inspirational had to become of this or else it would all repeat once more.

[/b] I said with passion in my voice ringing into their ears ever so violently. It seemed the only way to get a point across nowadays. “Yell at yourselves for not preparing!

Yell at yourselves for being weak! Yell at yourselves for never paying attention! Mighty hell if there were a nickel for every problem I had I would have been rich by now. Straighten yourselves up and do something about it! I will NOT be the only one striving to achieve something great in this village – and I definitely will not let you strip me of my will..”

I could almost depict the things they would say after today – although I shouldn’t have. It only made me more upset as I released the collar of the man allowing his head to thud against the marsh. Were it too much to ask that anyone pull their own weight? I had never been placed in such a predicament of selfishness. People didn’t want change – they wanted what was beneficial for themselves.

Although very naïve of a trait it seemed to be a disease which struck everyone. I looked around at the crowd – their signs and weapons now laying to their sides as my guards looked back at me nodding in approval. It wasn’t enough they were out here busting their ass for me – but I had little patience when it came to an overbearing crowd.

[/b] he’d said in an angry tone just as I had. The other crowd screaming “yeah!” just after his statement to show their approval.

I’d turn around with a smirk upon my face. “Because if I didn’t care anything about you I wouldn’t have been here in the first place. I am on my way to the center of the village to sign a voucher for the city’s cargo. You should all be receiving food and items very soon. . .” I said with a final note – escaping the presence of them easily as I darted towards the village core.

If a caring person is what they wanted - then that is what they would receive. But as far as kissing ass goes – I was the one usually bent over for the occasion. My figure would disappear within their view as they slowly but surely turned around in order to get to their homes quietly and safely. A mission completed was always something to smile about.

Retrieving the Parcel
Rank: C
Shinobi Required: 1
Difficulty Level: moderate (four posts minimum)
Synopsis: A group of iwa shinobi were killed on sight during a routine parcel retrieval from Blast City. The parcel was hidden in the seconds of their death and was never received by the village.
Task: Find the missing parcel.
Benefits: 50 exp & 1000 ryo.

[/b] I said silently as I stood up in order to stretch. I had just been through blast city in order to give the men and women their vouchers but why hadn’t the thought of the parcel rung a bell while I was there?

Possibly because of the various comments I were getting after having hauled the cargo of food myself to the location. I couldn’t help that I was a great guy – I just didn’t like being complimented on things everyone should have been doing. The slow walk towards blast city would commence as I read through the synopsis once more remembering the crime scene where the bodies had been picked up.

It were on the outskirts of the village – right before the entrance of the town. hmm… I’d spoke aloud within the confines of my own mind after pondering the whereabouts of the parcel. Either it were stolen – or the team had mysteriously hid it somewhere just before being slain. Even if – the search were still on. My wits about me as I trekked through the mighty streams of heat through iwa’s terrain.

[/b] he’d say as the gates were opened before me revealing the muddy terrain which rested in my path. A swift venture would take heed befitting my figure as I slowly progressed across the area.

I’d cut swiftly to my right into the forest area not yet signaling anyone of my presence. The murder of the three shinobi I’d sent along the mission happened somewhere around this forest – but sadly I had no recollection of where that spot was at because I was to busy mourning the loss of three more shinobi. Just what was so important in that parcel for someone to have slain them at ease?

Their money hadn’t been taken – their items had still been on their bodies and even the head bands were still rested upon their heads. Then what. . .? What was the true intention of killing these shinobi? They possibly had heard something they shouldn’t have. Alas I’d found the spot – tape still lined along the trees circling the area where they had been chalked out.

I took a seat upon one of those trees – stroking my chin wondering where on earth they could have hidden it. Then it hit me. . . it had to be some place on earth or at least – underneath it. A smirk would falter my lips as my figure transgressed its last position. My body moved to the spot where the three had fallen – within the center of their bodies painted the picture of a white circle.

I could not help myself. I would stand just over it peering down wondering what it could be. Then it hit me once more – it must have something to do with the village of iwa. Within the center of it would be the tsuchikage tower – which is where they were to report to after being assigned the mission. It all stood out clear now as to why they had been killed.

My eyes shooting open once more to the scene around me. Something were moving about in the trees. Had someone been awaiting me to return in order to grab the parcel so they could attack me as well? I would not let their plans succeed. My legs would turn slightly to the right as I realigned my position to blast city. I could hear the chants of the people partying from the vouchers.

I’d walk towards their position whilst honing in my senses on the person behind me. There was definitely someone there as I could sense the heart beat from at least 20 meters away to his location. It hadn’t moved yet – so I was still in the clear. Something about it seemed to veer me off course – maybe it were the fact I were in danger – or maybe it were the fact that I didn’t give a fuck.

My presence here should have deemed worthy enough for the fool to present his or herself but I just didn’t have the time to wait. “Show yourself!” I’d say in a loud obnoxious tone to the hidden vigilante. The heart beat would fade away into the distance – climbing past that over the village gates that I had just came from. That must mean that the person following me were from the village.

[chiatsuki]

I’d await in my current position until they finally left the fifty meter range that I had with my sonar. After I’d made sure of his presence being away from me at a safe distance I would finally turn back around to the crime scene. Now that I had a different view of the scene it all seemed to finally add up. The way the bodies were positioned would pinpoint that they were attacked from behind.

The only place from behind would have been blast city. Either they were hunted down by another shinobi in the village – or a person from blast city had taken out their revenge of poverty on the poor kids. My eyes danced merrily upon the field now taking my position back over the circle I had just left. I’d kneel down beginning to dig at the center of the circle.

What I would find was the parcel – engraved with the iwa shinobi symbol and locked with a padlock. I would place the parcel neatly within a sealed scroll – placing it back within the realm of the unknown incase I’d need it later. With a joust of my strength to its pinpointed climax I would have drifted even further back into the wood where my village was.

At the gate the head guard would nod to me and smile – turning the rope wheel in order to open the gates. A presence would overtake me now – one that made everything seem as if it were evil. I didn’t know how to take all this information in – but I at least knew what I could do with it. In the next council meeting I would bring it up to them – and I would see how their hearts would react.
