The bright, morning sun beamed through the windows of the sleeping Genin’s apartment; outdoors, the weather was chilly, and the land was full of Shinobi and civilians on their way to work. He’d stir a bit at the sound of kids laughing outside, concurrently letting out a groan, as the movement enabled him to feel just how sore he was. His previous mission had been to put new bulbs in the majority of the city’s streetlights; it’d been a very taxing job, and had carried through most of the night. He’d lay there, reflecting on his success, and new mission.

Today’s only task would be bringing in a group of thieves that’d been reported stealing candy; Haru also thought he’d read that they were supposed to be kids, which would be nice, as he himself was only eleven. He was a ninja and Hyūga, so of course fighting adults, or anyone else for that matter, was completely fine with him; however, it was always better when he could get a mission such as this. His blood began to flow more rapidly as he continued imagining everything, and it wouldn’t be long before the boy was finally up and fully awakened.

Following the Kumo-nin wiping the sleep from his eyes, he’d head to the shower, and afterward put on clothes. Today, his outfit would consist of a black, long-sleeved undershirt that covered about half of his neck; over that, he wore a slender, collared black jacket. Going down a bit, he wore his usual slim, black pants, and low-cut black nin-sandals. Other than clothes, he wore a sheathed katana at his waste, a small Kumogakure hitai-ate fastened to his left upper-arm, and light gold contacts, which would cover the Hyūga’s otherwise colorless eyes.

Not knowing how long he’d be gone for, Haru would decide to go ahead and grab himself a bowl of cereal. He’d learned his lesson on not eating breakfast, as he hadn’t yesterday thinking he’d just get lunch, but instead had been too busy working, and didn’t get a chance. He’d leisurely eat, making sure not to rush himself, as it was early in the morning, and he believed he’d have all day to find and capture the delinquents. Twenty minutes would pass before he finally finished, and upon throwing his bowl in the sink, the boy would exit his home.

Closing his door, the young ninja would eye the surrounding village as he himself went off to work. He’d notice tons of kids playing throughout the area; the various scenes forced the boy to reminisce on his time before the academy. Continuing a steady pace as he did so, the former Konoha-nin would begin to reflect back on his earlier life. He was only eleven, so to most this would be considered his early life, either way, thinking back further he couldn’t recall many times where he’d went out and played; instead, his life had been spent training.

He wondered if that was a bad choice, and if he should have instead enjoyed his earlier childhood; though, he’d later shun the idea, as doing so may have turned him into an entirely different, weaker Shinobi. Maintaining the same speed, he’d begin to reason that it wouldn’t matter even if he had wanted to go back in time, as it was impossible, and thinking about such things didn’t help him in any way. Moving from the topic, he’d now focus back on his mission and the candy store clerk, of whom he would soon be meeting for information.

He’d arrive a few minutes thereafter, and swiftly get to business by first shaking the man’s hand, and then introducing himself as the ninja appointed to the task. “hello; hyūga haru, nice to meet you… i’m here on behalf of your request that someone capture the delinquents who’ve recently stolen from your store.” “i guessed as much. now, there were four of them, and each about your size. i’ve searched, but haven’t been able to find any… please deal with them, i’m running low on supplies as is; i really can’t afford for this to happen again.”

Haru would nod to the man, continuing to listen as he gave small descriptions on each of the four boys; two had short brown hair, one blond, and the other was bald. He found it quite odd, as he hadn’t seen many young bald people; though regardless, he’d believe the man, and make his way out of the store subsequent to him finishing. With small pictures in his head as to what each of them looked like, he was now ready and prepared to capture the thieves. The young Hyūga would activate his Byakugan, afterward searching the near vicinity.

He hadn’t expected them to be so close, but figured searching around the crime scene was a smart thing to do, anyways. Making his way back across town, he’d next arrive in the neighborhood the clerk mentioned searching through. Their houses were supposedly the last four on the block; he’d begin there. His Byakugan scanning through them, he couldn’t help but wonder why kids that looked to be so well off were stealing. No answer came to him as he pondered on it, though something else had; the sight of four kids in one houses basement.

Swiftly observing them, he’d see they fit the candy store owner’s descriptions; it also made sense that he wasn’t able to find them when he’d looked himself, as entering their houses wasn’t something the man was allowed to do. Haru could, however, as this was his mission. He wouldn’t bother knocking, but instead kick the door open, sprint toward the stairs leading downward, and enter the underground room. They each looked at him with very startled expressions, shocked that someone had came in so abruptly, or had even found them at all.

Eyeing his left upper-arm hitai-ate, the bald one would rush him first, carrying with him a large, sharpened branch. He couldn’t help but laugh, as the site of the thief being bald seemed too absurd to be real. The foe would only speed up, however, and converged on him with a slash toward the ribs. The kid was dead serious, and would require Haru’s immediate attention unless he wanted to be injured. He didn’t, and thus would strike the boy down. Haru’s palm connected with the kid’s chest as he was in mid-strike, knocking him hard to the ground.

The others ran at him now; he’d swiftly deal with each one, attacking with an array of painful though non-lethal blows. These four weren’t ninja, and therefore were no match for the Shinobi. He’d chuckle at how easy it’d been, though wasn’t too surprised, as d-ranks weren’t known to pose many problems. He’d tie each up once their little scuff had ended, and afterward drag them to the Raikage’s Tower, where punishment would be dealt. Upon dropping the delinquents off, he himself would journey back to the Kumogakure mission compound.
