Fishing 'fo Fishes [M]

With one of the mission slips that she had requested held quite tightly in her right hand, the young female would walk through Kumogakure, moving lower down in the village towards where she was to meet her leader for this particular mission- She was to catch some fish. She wasn’t too fond of missions that required harsh physical feats because of her limited strength but things like this she could do easily- It was almost relaxing, although she would never really consider fishing as a hobby that she would take up- It was nice and all, lazing around on a nice summers day until you hooked something but, she had too many things to do to go out and spend the day fishing. She was pretty sure that she could recall doing so with one of her brothers in the past, but the memory was hazy by now, although, knowing her brothers, she probably had.

Walking down a little bit she would soon come to what she could but describe as a large pond- It was a fishery, build on someone’s land. They had placed the water in there themselves and also stocked it with fish, although, chances were they probably bred them specially for eating. Even from a little distance away she could see a few of the fish jumping up and down excitedly from the water- If they only knew their fate after being caught. She did feel a bit sorry for them but, they were delicious. There was enough of them anyway. Continuing to move towards the fishery she would soon approach the rock-build hut that was near it, as an old man came out with a jolly grin upon his face as he held a fishing rod, and a bucket of what she could but describe as worms, after peering in curiously.

”Here you go- You’ve been asked ‘ta catch four, yes?
It should be plenty easy for ‘ya young’un. Here, take this bucket ‘ta put the fish in afterwards.”

The elder man would speak, handing her the fishing rod and bucket which she took, and then carrying the other bucket to hold the caught fish in, as he’d walk over to the edge of the pond, setting the bucket down. Near it there had already been a sort of foldable seat, it having probably been sat in earlier in the day from other mission goers. But, she had no problem with that of course. Nodding her head she would return his words with a grin, as she would then get to work with catching the fish- She hadn’t done this in a while now, so she took her steps carefully to prevent mucking it all up- She didn’t want to have to buy the man a few fishing rod. She could scarcely afford enough money for tools these days anyway.

So, taking the rod in one hand, her fingers carefully holding the hook, she would remove the glove on the other hand, and would pick up one of the worms, it wriggling strangely beneath her touch. Despite this she would keep a firm yet gentle grip on it, and then—She’d spear it upon the hook of the line, it flailing wildly for a few moments, before its movements finally died down. It was dead, but it would soon be fed to some fish, yum yum yum! Having done so, she would then, praying that she would do it right, take the rod, swish it back and then PLOP! the line would hit the water in front of her, the float bobbing up and down on the surface. With the hard part done and dusted, now the only thing left to do was wait. And thankfully enough for her, she was quite good at that.

So- with both hands carefully on the rod, she would await for some kind of sign that would signal to her that a fish had bitten the worm, and was on the verge of being caught on the hook- Of course, she had to keep quite still and quiet for this to assure that she would be able to see the ripples caused by the float- if they were to suddenly change and the float would begin to be pulled downwards, it obviously meant that at least something had caught the line. And if she was lucky, it wouldn’t turn out to be some kind of annoying plant in the way of her fishing. But, she had enough patience- It was one of her talents, really. She could stay around in one place all day and she wouldn’t get bored- She’d enjoy the relaxing feeling of it, to say the very least.

PLOP! blood red optics would watch the fluorescent yellow float as it would then violently be pulled underwater towards the unknown- ”….!!!” something was there! She would then, her thin hands taking the initiative and going towards the reel, she’d quickly reel in the fish, waiting to see what would come up from the water- Would it be large? Or would it be- Oh. She’d watch as the sun would hit the scales of the creature that she had caught- To say the very least it was small, but it wasn’t exactly the smallest thing in the world, so she was pretty happy with her catch. Reeling it in further she’d draw the fish towards herself, and would take a good, hard look at it before bringing it down and off the hook, and placing it in the bucket, where it flopped for a few moments.

Her eyes looking at the fish as it struggled to breathe in the air that it was so unaccustomed to breathing all the time- She herself wasn’t a killer although she could go over the top at times, and she felt a bit bad seeing the fish thrashing about in the bucket in such a manner. But- Nevermind. She had three more fish to go before she could collect the reward! Grinning somewhat she would then look at the fish for one last time before repeating what she had done moments ago, picking up the hook, squishing a fat worm through it, and then swishing it out to the pond once more as she awaited for the response of whatever silly fish would take the bait that she had sent out. She was hoping it would be bigger this time, simply for the fact that presenting four tiny fish was pretty wussy.

PLOP! another one! She hadn’t been too slow getting this one too, so she was pretty content, and you could tell by the sly look on her face- She wasn’t up to anything bad, but she was glad that the fish were deciding to take her bait- But after all, there were probably a lot of fish in this here pond, so no doubt something at least would bite after setting the worm-covered hook in to the water. Reeling the fish in once more, the light would again hit the scales, as she’d see that she had caught.. A fish that seemed the same size as the last one that she had caught, which was alright really but, she could have done a bit better than that. Shaking her head she’d shrug a little bit and sigh, displaying her disappointment. But, it wasn’t all that bad. The next few ones had better been good, though! Taking the fish off the hook and then placing it with the other fish that had calmed down a bit, the bucket would teem with life once more, the fish moving all around the place, attempting to break free.

But sadly enough, although the fish did its best to exit the bucket that it was captured in, its efforts weren’t worth it as there was no escaping the fluorescent blue bucket that she had been given. Onwards to catch the last two! The dark green haired female would go forwards again and would place another worm on the hook- The third that she had used now, and would then swoop the rod, and would fling the line out to the pond again, the float landing on the shiny surface of the water with a plop. Looking up to the sky for a few moments, the air felt damp- It was going to rain soon, or was going to storm. Either way she enjoyed both just the same, although storms were her favourite- Some cowered in fear, whilst she ran outside and marvelled at it.

Which was just as well since she was pretty sure that she had read that people usually caught more fish when it was raining since they were attracted to the surface by the rain- Maybe? She had forgotten really, but she guessed that was so. About to kick back for a few moments after nothing seemed to catch she was just about to close her eyes when there was a slight tug on the rod that she had been holding- Which was strange, as it hadn’t happened moments ago with the other fish- Perhaps this was a big one? With a hopeful smile she’d then open her eyes and look towards the float which- wasn’t there anymore, and would then take swiftly move her hand to reel in whatever fish that she had just managed to catch.

Woah! this was much bigger than she had hoped that it would be- It wasn’t huge, but it was a fairly good size and would no doubt make a good meal for some people! Reeling it in quickly she would look at it as the large thing flapped about mindlessly for a few moments as it was introduced to a different, non aquatic environment, she’d take it off the hook and grab it with her hand, the scales being slightly slimy under her grasp, although she managed to throw it in the bucket without hassle. But now- Now was for the fourth! There wasn’t much longer to go, although, she drew her red eyes away from the bucket of heaving fish, and would move towards the hook once more, her fingers repeating again, fish on hook, hook in water. It was a fairly simply process but many people found fishing very relaxing- She’d need to try it again next time where there wasn’t a limit to how much she needed to catch.

..Maybe she’d go down to the coastlines.

For the next one she would have to wait a good few moments until the line would suddenly begin to drop as the float would be kidnapped by whatever fish had taken the wriggly worm on the end of the hook- She, her eyes having been plastered to the water, looking at every gentle ripple that was formed on the surface, would once again reel in the fish, it soon coming up to the cruel surface, and in to the air before being reeled over to her without problem. It was once more small, but bigger than the other tiny ones that she had taught, so it was a nice end to the fishing trip. Taking it off and placing it in the bucket, she would then swiftly pack away the rod that she had borrowed, and would move all of the things over to the old man in the hut, giving back the rod and the bucket of worms. She would too, give over the bucket of fish. ”Thank ‘ye lass! This’ll make a lovely dinner for someone in Kumogakure, just you watch!” he’d tell her, she was unaware of exactly where the fish would go, but she was sure it was to someone’s stomach in the end.

Leaving for her next mission, she’d leave the fishery, and on within the village of Kumogakure.

EXIT!
