Small splashing noises could be heard as the pieces of carrot sunk into the boiling water where some other vegetables laid. The female started on the second carrot while the middle female started to prepare a large mug of coffee for the adults.
"What's that disgusting smell?" asked Yukiko as she chopped up the last parts on the second carrot. "It's just the coffee Yukiko-chan" replied the older woman. She was currently stirring something that looked like a vegetable miso soup.

"Ew" muttered the girl while the other two chefs let out a small giggle when the saw their helper's response. She put the second carrot before she started on the third one. The Genin was able to cut it up a little faster since she now had gotten the hang of it, all though the pieces were a bit uneven in size. "Could you come over here please? I need help with the recipe" said the female when the last carrot had been chopped up.

The female walked over to her, curious about what the next assignment would be. "I need you to break up these two chocolates. Don't eat anything; I might give you a piece of the finished result if you are patient" said Emi with a small smile on her face.
There were two somewhat big plates of chocolate that laid next to a bowl that seemed to contained a mix of egg and sugar. Somewhat thin fingers started to break up the chocolate while the brunette tried to not eat any of it.

'At least this is more fun that peeling carrots' thought the girl as she broke up the chocolate in pieces. A few minutes later, all of the chocolate had literally been broken to pieces by Yukiko.
"Good job Yukiko-chan. Keep an eye on the water in that kettle over there. When it starts to boil, you can put five spoons of that tea powder in it" said the woman.

"Do you have a spoon?" asked the female when she noticed that there was no spoon in the box with tea powder. "Here you go" said Arisu before she handed her a spoon.
The Genin put her finger into the water, but pulled it back right away when she noticed how hot the water was. It would not be long until it had reached the boiling point. The tea powder was black...it was without doubt black tea.

Crystal optics kept an eye on the water while the other two women started to put the finishing touches on the food. 'Looks like it's time to put in the black tea powder!' thought the girl when some small bubbles started to reach the surface.
She poured five spoons of the tea powder into the boiling water and saw it mix. 'This smells ten times better than the coffee. I can't believe adults drink that crap' thought the brunette as she stirred the hot water with the spoon.

She followed them into the gymnasium and one of the guys started to talk with her. "OK kid, we need a small person to tie these wires inside the gymnasium. We already have a plank that you can stand on and we will secure you with a safety rope.
So just stand still for a few moments while I tie you up" said the man, who had gray hair. He put a belt around her waist before he attached a rope in a metal ring that was located at the back of the belt.

Yukiko looked up, only to see some makeshift planks that were attached to some metal poles on each side of the long wall. "Just attach the wire in the same way as the first hook. It's not hard to do" said the adult.
"I'm ready" said the girl before the guys pulled her up towards the tiny platform on the metal pole that was close to them. She landed a few seconds later; it was time to do what the guys had asked her to do.

One of her feet was placed at the plank before a tiny creaking sound could be heard. 'No wonder they wanted someone light for this job' thought the Genin as she looked at the wire attached to the first hook. They had threaded the wire through it and it did not look that hard.
Her legs moved carefully towards the next hook, which was located about five feet away from where she was now. There were four hooks on the wall in total.

'Easy...don't panic' thought the female as she made her way over to the hook. She did not have a fear of heights, but falling down was not that comfortable despite having a security rope.
Her small hands threaded the wire through the hook before she moved on to the next one. This was six feet away and made the brunette let out a small groan in annoyance. She made her way over in a slow but steady pace.

It took a little more time to get over there but the girl was able to get the wire through a little faster. A smile appeared on her face when she discovered that the next hook was only four feet away.
Her legs made crab-steps in order to get over faster, which worked. The wire was threaded through the second last hook before it was time to move onto the next one. Hook number four was five feet away from Yukiko's current location.

Her small body moved a little slower while her hands were stretched out at each side in order to remain balanced. It was 15 feet down to the ground after all.
'Almost there...' thought the female before she lost her balance for a second. She flailed her hands and managed to stabilize herself. The wire was attached and the men got her back down; she was done here for the day.

The female was back at the construction site where she had to do the third mission in two days. 'I swear, I hope I'm done soon' thought Yukiko as she looked for the man who had hired her. "Hello, you must be the shinobi I hired for this mission" said a voice behind her. The girl turned around and saw a somewhat lanky man with moss green hair and brown eyes stand there. He hold a toolbox of some sort in his hands.

"My name is Taro Honda. I think a small person like you is perfect for some of the work that we have here" said Taro with a smile on his face. "What kind of work is that?" asked the Genin while she raised a taupe eyebrow in wonder.
"We are installing some air vents in that building over there. But we need someone to check if there are any holes in it or something" explained the adult.

"I'll check it. Who should I talk with?" asked the female with a polite voice. "The person who's in charge for that is a guy called Hayato. He has blue hair and is wearing a black overall with a spider on" said the greenette.
The brunette jogged over to the larger house; there was a number of guys there who did some sort of construction work.

Crystal eyes then saw a guy with black overalls that had a spider printed on the right hip. Some blue hair poked out from the black construction helmet he was wearing. "Are you Hayato?" asked the girl while she looked up at him.
The man turned around; he looked to be in his early 20's and had steel blue eyes. "Sorry kid, but this construction site is not a playground" said the adult.

"I'm here to help with the mission. Honda-san told me you needed help" explained Yukiko and showed him the mission slip she had been given at the tower. The bluenette read the slip before his eyes glanced at the headband that was tied around her forehead.
"Sorry about that. My name is Hayato Fujiyama and I suppose you are here to help us with the vents" said Hayato with a semi-polite voice.

"Yes" said the female before she was handed something that looked like a walkie-talkie. "Just climb up that ladder and go into the vents. Turn on that walkie-talkie and tell me if you see any holes, dents or anything that needs to be fixed" said the adult.
"Will do!" said the Genin before she climbed up the ladder that lead to the vents. The vents were not big; an adult man would not have a chance to fit in.

'OH NO...' thought the female as she felt her small fingers starting to slip at the stone she hold in her hands. She immidiately took a step back in order to make sure that the rock did not land at her feet or anything like that.
The stone felt in the ground with a heavy 'THUD!' and almost seemed to mock Yukiko's strength. 'I knew I should have signed up for another mission' thought the girl while she scowled at the stone. But the ditch was only 6 feet away or so; perhaps it was another way to get it there?

'I cannot use my hands, that's for sure' thought the Genin while she looked down at her hands. All of her fingers were red and appeared to be rather sore after all the lifting she had done. An idea then appeared in her head...she could push the stone in the ditch with her feet!
Her right foot was placed on the stone before it tried to push the stone into the ditch with all the strength it had. It was not as hard as the female had though, which made her smile.

Her new idea had caused the stone to move about 2 feet forwards and her left foot pushed the stone as hard as she could. The stone was in the ditch a minute or two later; it was time to move on to see what other rocks that were causing a problem.
The brunette continued further on the road, passing a couple of merchants that had some bricks on their wagons. Perhaps they were on their way to the construction site to fix buildings? But she had another issue that needed some attention at the moment.

A somewhat big boulder that was about 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide blocked one of the paths that went to one of the nearby port cities. It must have fallen down recently since there were no people around at the moment.
'Where on earth should I get rid of that thing!?' thought the girl while she looked around. She saw a cliff and decided to check it out. It was 20 feet tall and there was a lot of boulders at the bottom.

'Hm...I cannot see a path near that. I suppose I have to get the rock over there somehow' thought Yukiko while she looked back at the boulder. She jogged back and decided to see how far she could push the rock with her own strength.
The female leaned at the boulder and pushed it towards the cliff with all her strength. It was not enough; the boulder would not move an inch away from its place.

Dark brown eyebrows knit in anger while the Genin tried to add her bodyweight in the pushing process as well. The boulder moved slightly and the girl pushed it as hard as she could until her body was too tired to move it any further.
'I suppose it's time to use explosives' thought the brunette while she looked around. She did not wanted anyone to be caught in the radius. The female attached three exploding tags at the boulder before she ran to seek cover.

"Do you have any suggestions for a new game Yukiko-chan?" asked the young man. "I think this will be a good time to learn a pretending game" said the female with a smile. "What is that?" asked one of the boys.
"I will explain to you guys. It's very simple" said Yukiko with a smile on her face. This was one of her favourite games.

"One person has to pretend to be something like an animal or pretend to have a certain job. Please remember to raise your hand before you speak. If you don't raise your hand, your answer won't count.
You also have to say if you're going to imitate a person or a job before you start. Anyone who wants to go first?" asked the girl with a big smile.

All of the children waved their hands into the air, wanting to be the first one to imitate something or someone. "You can go first Sumiko-chan" said Makoto while he pointed at a girl with black hair tied back in a ponytail.
Everyone sat down while the girl stood in front of all of them. "I'm going to imitate an animal" said the ink-haired female with a smile. She cleared her throat before she sat down on all fours and started to howl like something was injured.

Many of the children were confused, but the female had an idea of what animal it was when Sumiko prenteded to tear something apart. She raised her hand and the girl nodded towards her. "Is it a wolf?" asked the Genin before the girl nodded.
'What to take...I know' thought the girl before she picked up a nearby stick. She swished it through the air like it was a sword, imitating a samurai.

It was no surprise when almost all of the boys raised their hands in the air with an eager look on their faces. "You with the red sweater" said the brunette while she pointed towards a boy with a red sweater. "You're a pirate!" exclaimed the boy.
"No...but it's not far away. Anyone else?" asked the female before she positioned herself in a 'serious' samurai pose.

One of the girls raised her hand. "You with the dark blue jacket" said Yukiko as she pointed towards the girl. "Are you a samurai?" asked the girl with a somewhat shy voice. "That's the right answer. I tried to imitate a samurai" said the female with a smile before the girl took her place in the spotlight.

"Let's thank Yukiko-san for teaching us these fun games" said the oldest male present. "THANK YOU!" said the children and gave her a polite bow. "It's been fun. Bye everyone!" said the Genin with a smile before she left.
It had been fun to go back to the kindergarten and teach these children the games she knew, knowing that they would not disappear that fast.

'I can't believe that there are missions like this. Are there children who don't know how to play hide and seek!?' thought the female while she walked towards the kindergarten where she would teach the game to some of the children.
She knocked on the door; it did not take long until it was opened by a young man with orange hair. "I'm the shinobi you hired for the playtime mission. My name is Yukiko Fuyumori" said Yukiko and gave him a polite bow.

"Hm...you're quite young but that's a good thing. Come in Fuyumori-san" said the man and let her in. The kindergarten was large; it had several different rooms.
'Locker room for girls....locker room for guys....staff room...kitchen...eating room...napping room. I bet it's here' thought the girl when she saw the sign that said 'playing room'. The gingerhead entered the room with her in his heels.

"All right kids! This is Yukiko Fuyumori, who will be your teacher today. You guys are gonna learn a couple new games" said the man when they had entered the room.
A group of ten children ranging between the ages of four and six sat at the floor, looking at the new person. "Are you SURE I can make all of those kids listen to me!?" whispered the Genin.

"Don't worry. I will join in as well" said the ginger with a smile on his face. "Can we start playing now?" said a girl who was wearing a pink sweater.
"I think we can start with a game named 'tag'. It's very simple" said the female with a smile.

"One person will be the one who catches the others. When that person touches you, you have to stand on the spot until someone pats your shoulder.
When everyone is taken, the game is over" said the brunette. Tag was a fairly simple game that they should not have any problem playing. "Let's go out then!" said the young man.

All of the kids let out a 'yaaay!' before they went out to the locker rooms to get changed. The girl had to help two of the girls to tie their shoes, which was fine with her.
Everyone went out to the playground when they had changed their clothing. "Who will be the one that has to catch people?" asked the ginger. One of the boys with bright green hair raised his hand in the air with a smile on his face.

Her feet landed on the cement surface with a small 'thump'. She then ran across the roof and jumped over to the next in order to get to the district as fast as she could. The 'kawaii-cloud' supermarket came closer to the female, which was a good sign.
'I have about 45 minutes left...I think I can get there in 10 minutes or so. I wish I was an adult in situations like these so I could run a little faster' thought Yukiko.

'Kami! I forgot to ask the client what was in the package! It might be something fragile' thought the girl as she flied through the air. 'Eh, she might have told me if there was' thought the Genin while she prepared herself to land on the roof.
Her eyes then spotted some dark clouds on the skies above her...good thing that she had packed her rainjacket in the pale pink backpacker that she carried the present in.

The female removed the jacket from the backpacker before she continued on her journey. 'Perhaps I should just jog now since the roofs are so far apart from each other' thought the brunette since it became harder to jump across them.
She climbed down from the building before she looked at the adress that the woman had written on the small note. Crystal eyes then looked up at the street name; it did not match. But at least the district was only a couple minutes away on her feet...the real task was to find the right adress.

Dark blue shoes hit the pavement as the girl jogged through the rather empty street to find the right adress. Her eyes glanced at the watch once more; it was 30 minutes until the gift had to be in the receiver's hands.
'Perhaps I can ask someone in there' thought Yukiko as she spotted a book shop. She walked into the shop and removed the hood on her jacket. A blond man with glasses on his face stood behind the counter; he seemed to be bored.

"Excuse me. I was wondering if you know where this street is" asked the female while she showed him the note with the adress written on it. He bent forwards, his eyes studying the print with keen eyes. "When you go out of this shop, walk straight forwards until you see the statue of Raijin. Take to the right and the house should be right next to a shop that sells alcohol; I think it's called 'Jiya's sake' or something" said the man.

"Thank you" said the Genin and left the shop to continue for her quest. But the rain had now turned into a downpour, which made the girl let out a loud sigh in frustration. She walked straight forwards while she tried to look for the statue of Raijin.
A loud thunderclap arrived, which made the brunette sweatdrop. 'I don't know if I should take this as a good or bad omen' thought the female as she looked for the statue of the lightning god.
