description; One unfortunate disadvantage that Kumogakure no Sato extends is sometimes the jagged peaks drop rocks amongst the Kumogakure no Sato passageways. Sometimes they’re simple small rugged rocks and other times they’re promontory boulders. Sadly when the immeasurable boulders land on Kumogakure no Sato’s passageways it falls upon the Kumogakure shinobi to clear the avenue. With the war ending there are a large amount of pathways that need clearing, unfortunately. So go clear those streets.

The vast amount of mountains that covered this village always brought problems along the villagers especially those who were not trained in the shinobi arts, but are treating the village as their home and main place to make a profit. Though from time to time the large mountains that surrounds our home lose their stones. The chunks very in different sizes, but are a problem to all none the less.

Depending on the surrounding mountains in each division usually gave off an indication of how big the rock chunks are though regardless this mission wasn’t adored, I had noticed it myself that it was being overlapped as if no one was supposed to actually take it out, but even my own home is constructed out of these mountains so some of the responsibility would lie on my shoulders.

With the mission statement in hand I took from my home in the normal fashion, a routine I follow everyday leaping from the rocks, I stared at my mission statement the entire trip moving further south of town heading to one of the main passageways used by the folks down south to see if there was any damage, but on my way I had found rubble surrounding one of the farm areas. I wasn’t in shock, but rather irritated thast the folks that owned the place hadn’t written into the Kage all it did was make things harder… They’d probably complain about the issue that the Shinobi’s were just to lazy to come assist them when they never informed us of such an issue. Instead I decided to take action coming down from the rock peak that I was resting on I’d perform a few hand seals and bring to creation my crows.

“Lets get this done.” I commanded my murder, as I myself went to the door of the farm and placed a few well heard knocks on the wooden barrier. The door opened and a woman looked down at me she was a slightly muscular woman with flowing black hair and brown eyes… She looked nothing like the wife/daughter of a farmer in my opinion. “Hello, I am here to clear the damage from the rock falls.” She gave off a rather seductive smile and thanked me for my hard work, she claimed that they were going to inform us, but the damage that had occurred looked like this wasn’t the first rock fall to befall this village either way the small and medium rocks were being taken out by my murder, for myself I had acquired a broom from the woman in order to complete my job.

Instead of heading immediately to the southern tunnels, I was feeling rather good about stopping at this farm it was better that it was receiving the attention now before it was too late. With my murder picking up small stones I’d use that broom to clear the rest of the small rubble from in front of the house. I could smell and hear the animals making a big fuss about our appearance even the dogs had to be placed somewhere as to not interefere. “Heh this is going to take longer than I thought.” I said to myself as to not bother the other workers who were going about their day as if I wasn’t there.

Of course they wouldn’t take up a broom and help me that would surely be asking too much for them to do. Though I was fine my pride wouldn’t allow me to ask them for such a thing anyway instead I kept my cool and summoned another murder to assist me, ten of those crows would form to create another version of me with this the entire area would be swarming in my Crows in no time. I took a look at the work the clone and the other crows had done and decided it was fine to move on, so eagerly I’d take half of the murder with me leaving my crow clone on his own to handle business.

While the clone stayed behind during my travel to the tunnels he’d follow the instructions through the mental link perfectly lifting the rocks that had yet to be placed in a pile and moved them over to a barrel so he’d be able to move them himself. With a smile the crow clone continued to work hard hoping that he was being a great help to his creator and the leader of the brethren which whether he knew it or not he was…

With him in control of that situation I’d have the chance to continue moving to the true problem area which was further down south a tunnel which was a large help to the village was being blocked and upon arrival I’d have stumped expression on how I’d actually come about fixing this issue.

[Akiyuki]

Things were worst than I had imagined lost in thought I’d look at the rubble that was blocking the tunnel a chunnin had already been dispatched, but his efforts were in the kindest way possible to say “useless” The man just seemed to try shoveling the mess out of the way unable to communicate with his teammates that lurked on the other side it seemed they may have all just resorted to using their muscles… Just like them.

I looked at the sky to see if I could use my crows to go over the area, but I’d notice another murder approaching they surely were not mine so as to who they belonged too…I was lost. Then I noticed the tip of the feathers on the tail…White…. The mystery was solved and now I knew the man that was coming… My brother.

A man with long black hair that rolled over his shoulders and a eye patch that covered his left eye appeared, his smile that showed its confidence started to slowly fade as his vision turned and met my eyes his disgust wasn’t apparent, but I already knew how my brother felt after all him and I never really got along, but I wasn’t going to let this fool ruin this mission for me even if he was sent to it first using pure muscle wasn’t the answer that I was sure of…

With my mind blanking to ignore the man’s appearance I begun talking to the other shinobi that was on the scene… No point in speaking with someone who I had nothing great to say too. Couldn’t stand that bastard no matter what, but besides that there was nothing I could do since that smile of his arrived he moved in on the two of us. “The guys are on the other side Gez, I think we could leave it to my dear little brother here to do the rest of the job.”

[Akiyuki]

I turned to see my brothers look again and deep down I could feel my irritation just grow more and more why was it that I was just running into the family that I was avoiding? Worst yet the one I truly hated was the one who adored me the most even as he spoke of leaving me on my own I felt that the man wouldn’t really go he loved to see me when I was stuck on something just waiting for me to ask my elder brother for help.

The other chunnin seemed to agree with my brother simply cause he was ready to rest for a moment. At least that was the feeling I had gotten I could have been wrong either way it wouldn’t do anything for me if I couldn’t’ get this passage unblocked by myself or atleast taking control of the situation. “Tell me is anyone on the other side of the pile up?” I asked the two who merely nodded their head. It seemed so…

In that case using explosives didn’t seem like a bad idea though if anyone was trapped inbetween that would be dangerous and without anyway of knowing who was indeed in the pile up then maybe it was best not to do that. Ah the problem was the lack of man power, but then again digging with the shovels didn’t work the first time so it’d be just revisiting the ideas of the past and hoping that they would work.

“Brother… Please go die.” I said simply to raise my spirits, and begun to look at the other chunnins expression who begun to laugh. It seemed he found the way I treated my brother funny anyway the idea of using explosive did come back to my mind.

[Akiyuki]

I’d flash through a few quick hand seals and turned my attention to the rocks, the men behind me continued to laugh. Even my brother had found it interesting that I was going to use the same method that he had been thinking though it didn’t matter to me… The difference between the two of us was when I closed both of my eyes and the world would then come at me in a different way.

Looking at the pile of rocks I’d close both of my eyelids and followed the chakra signatures around me to see if I happened to find anyone in the middle of the rubble, but fortunately there wasn’t anything blocking me. “Hey Brother go tell those guys to move away.” My brother stopped laughing at me and stood there stumped not sure what I was thinking, but the idea of maybe I had learned sensor techniques appeared in his mind.

Though without much chance to check and get proof on it my brother would turn himself around and flash over to the other side again I’d notice the men moving away from the rocks not only that, but I noticed my brother’s body.. He was trying to steal my idea! Without a moments notice I begun slapping senpai’s notes on the rocks moving faster than the other Akegarasu. Though the dangers would be when he would decide to seal his I was confident in my placed tags so I’d leap back along with the other chunnin sending my murder in the sky I signaled through them it was too late for him, and just as I formed my seal the man shunshined out of the way. The tags I placed exploded, but because of their small side and places they been well placed the explosions didn’t bring down the tunnel.

Instead using both my brother and I’s tags we managed to blow the huge chunks of rubble up, as for myself? I’d turn my back to the two men feeling myself I’d wave the two of them off leaving nothing behind, but the broom I had carried from the farm from earlier. With my business here done I left the site I knew that they had got the hint I was giving off and probably wouldn’t even though I’d find it funny if they took up brooms and moved the now smaller rocks out.
