Decorating Kumogakure [Mission].

[Yuki-chan]

The female jogged through the village on her way to the first pinpointed location for her mission. 'I have to decorate a big wall that is between two shops. There is a painting shop across the street that will borrow me paint and brushes to use' thought Yuki.
She then reached the street; she only had to find the location now. Ice blue eyes then saw a big, white wall between two shops.

One of the shops was a flower shop while the other one was a store where they rented kimono's. 'Hm...I need to get the paint first' thought the girl as she looked at the wall.
The wall was about 8 feet tall, but there were a couple of trash cans she could stand on. She then went into the paint shop and found the mission slip. "Hello, I'm the shinobi who will decorate the wall across the street" said the Genin in a polite voice to the green-haired woman behind the counter.

"I see. Do you have the mission slip?" asked the woman with a somewhat happy voice. The female showed her the mission slip that the Raikage had given her.
"OK, we have five different colours. Black, white, red, blue and yellow. It is possible to mix these colours in this to get other ones" said the greenette.

She handed her a bag with five cans of paint, three different brushes that were a little worn and a lid of some sort where the colours could be mixed. "Thank you" said the brunette before she exited the shop.
'I wonder what motive I should use.
I need something that can kind of match both shops' thought the girl.But what kind of flowers could you find on kimonos?

An idea then struck her when she looked at a mannequin that was in the kimono shop's window. It was a pale green kimono with bright pink cherry blossom petals.
'But it's kind of boring with only cherry blossoms on it. Perhaps I can pains someone with a kimono standing next to a lot of flowers?' thought Yuki. She decided to give that idea a go.

'I need black for drawing the person and the person's hair...I think I'll make a woman. I can paint her wearing a green kimono with pink petals like the one in the window.
The other flowers can be oxeye daisies, lilacs and blue flower. Should be pretty' thought the female with a small grin. She picked up the medium brush and started to draw the outline.

'OK...the wall is not that wide' thought the Genin as she looked at her 'canvas'. The whole wall was 7 feet wide or so, but that was more than enough space for a woman.
'Perhaps I should just paint a girl' thought the girl as she started. She found it kind of hard to draw adults since she was not one herself. The brunette started with the head; it would be a bit round and cute.

[Yuki-chan]

"Heh, this is not that bad" said the female as she finished painting the head of the girl. The head was sort of round and a bit childish like a childs. 'I will give her blue eyes. Blue and green go well together' thought Yuki while she picked up the smaller brush.
She dipped it into the can with blue paint moments before the substance was smeared on the white wall. 'I have to add the pupils when the paint has dried a little' thought the girl while she moved on with her outline.

One of the larger brushes was dipped into black paint again as the body of the kimono girl started to take shape. Shoulders, arms and the general outline of a kimono started to take shape on the wall while the Genin tried to make it look right.
'I can start on the flowers now while I wait for the black paint to dry' thought the female while she cleaned one of the brushes in the lid-like thing. But what flower would be the first one and where would it be?

'GOT IT! I will make the oxeye daisy first' thought the brunette as a smile formed onto her face. Her brush was dipped into the yellow paint in order to create the yellow center-thing that was on an oxeye daisy.
The white petals where up next; the girl decided to add the black paint later when she was done with the 'filling'. Black then mixed with cornflower blue in order to create a darker blue for the blueflower.

Crystal blue optics studied the wall for a few moments in order to find a good spot for the dark paint that was on her brush. She then started to paint to the left for the kimono-clad girl since the oxeye daisy was to the right.
'Uh, it looks kinda ugly...nothing I can do about it since this is a wall' thought Yuki while she pulled a small grimace. The shape was a bit off but at least she had the colour right. She then cleaned the brush before she started to mix red, blue and white.

A light purple colour was then made, perfect for the bluebell that would soon be on the wall. The small left hand moved the brush across the white surface and a flower was made after a couple of minutes. 'I better mix the green now' thought the female while she looked at the painting cans. There was not a lot of blue left, so it had to be a light green kimono.
The cornflower blue was then mixed with some light golden yellow before it was fused into a bright pale green shade that contrasted with the other colours on the wall.

'I need the large brush now!' thought the Genin as she walked over to the wall with determination in her eyes. The paint brush then moved within the outline of the kimono she had already made. It took a couple of minutes to finish due to the large size of the black-haired girl.
'Hm...I better make stems to the flowers' thought the girl as she picked up a smaller brush. She needed something to do while the green paint dried.

A small brush danced across the wall while the brunette focused on making stems to the three flowers around the kimono-clad girl. 'OH KAMI! I FORGOT THE OBI!' thought the female when she looked up at the girl on the wall that smiled down at her.
Right after she had finished the stems, she ran over to the lid to see if there was anything left of the dark blue pain that had been used earlier. There was a little bit left but would it be enough for the obi?

[Yuki-chan]

She bit her lip as she looked at the painting; perhaps it could be mixed with the purple that had been made for the bluebell? 'I have never mixed light purple with dark blue before. I just hope it does not turn out to be really ugly' thought the female.
The medium brush then mixed the two colours together while Yuki prayed that the outcome would not be too bad. Luckily, the outcome of this weird mix turned out to be a somewhat dark blue-purple colour that definitely could be used. A smile spread on the girls face before she walked over to finish the kimono.

Her brush went back and forth in a horizontal motion as the blue-purple colour started to take the shape of a child's obi. 'PERFECT!' thought the female as she looked at the obi that she had painted onto her imaginary girl.
'I think I can start with the sakura petals now' thought the Genin before she walked over to the lid again. Red and white were mixed together in order to create the pink colour that cherry blossoms had. The girl decided to use the smallest brush that she had; petals were not that big.

She then went over to the wall while the brush started to make small petals all over the green kimono. The sleeves did not have that many since the brunette had never seen children's kimono sleeves with a lot of decoration on them.
It was a bit hard to make the petals in the start, but it became easier after some practice. 'Hope this is good enough' thought the female with her tongue sticking out of her mouth slightly in concentration. She had seen a lot of nice decorations at houses, but she could not make anything close to that.

'Hmph...I need to get up a little higher' thought Yuki as she looked up at the painting. She did a couple of handseals and a small stepping stone made out of ice was formed.
There were nobody in the street at the moment, so it was safe. The girl stepped onto the ice before she started to decorate the shoulders on the kimono. It was covered in light pink sakura petals after a couple of minutes of painting.

"There! Done!" said the Genin before she jumped down and looked at the kimono-clad girl on the wall. It was not as professional as a lot of other decorations she had seen but it did brighten up the place at least.
'I better get back into the pain shop' thought the female before she picked up the cans, lid and brushes.
She went into the shop where the female clerk was sorting something at the desk.

"I'm finished with painting the wall" said the brunette while she looked up at the woman. "Yes, very good. I'll just sign this slip that you can give to the Raikage.
You can lay the paintcans and the other stuff in the box over there" said the greenette before she pointed at a cardboard box next to the counter. The girl did as she was told.

"Here's the slip. I like the painting; it has a lot of colours" said the woman. "Thank you and goodbye!" said Yuki before she gave her a polite bow.
She took the slip and exited the shop just moments later. It was time to collect the pay from the Raikage!
