Youko stormed out cursing on to the streets straight in the hot sun.
“What the hell do they mean, mission declined! I’ll show them.”
Not knowing where he was going he just walked the streets. He didn’t care where he was going. What the hell was that all about? Mission declined. This thought kept racing through his head. It was unprecedented statement after just succeeding multiple missions. This is bull shit. His heart was racing. This made him so angry and the more he thought about it, the more angry he got. Out of annoyance he set up a mocking voice and repeated what the secretary said to him.
“Mission Declined! Here’s a note for.”
What was that supposed to mean? Was this note supposed to cheer him up? He looked at the note he held in his hand. He forgot all his anger because his anger changed into curiosity. What was on that note? It must have been the reason they declined his mission. It had to be. But what was on the note? Was he fired? All these questions filled his head so fold out the note.

Go meet you’re new team,
at the city gate.
Meeting time: 2 PM

“Shit that is right now.” He started to run towards the city gate. Typically Kazekage’s secretary, ever since the great war they have been too busy doing other things. This caused the delay in these kinds of important messages which leaves the ninja with time trouble. For example, right now. The fact that he had to run the meeting spot was already bad. He hated to pay up for other peoples mistakes. There wasn’t much he could do about it now.

He wondered what his team might look like. It would be lame if he ended up with bunch of losers who just graduated from the academy. On the other hand, they might also be stronger than him. If that was the case, then things might turn out interesting. This was better than any other mission. His rage from earlier was not only turned in curiosity but now also mixed with excitement. He fastened his pace even more. He really wanted to meet them. Some feeling told him that good times would meet* if he’d go on missions with these people.
The sun was baking him that it made sweat break out on his forehead. What a time to meet. He started to doubt about teammates again. Why would they want to meet by the village gate at this hour? Couldn’t they have waited another few hours when it was dark? Well if it were dark than then there were too much people outside and they wouldn’t be able to find each other easily. He sighed and wiped the sweat of his forehead.

He almost reached the village gates. He stopped running he should be on time if kept walking forward from this point on. Not too far from him he saw a figure standing. It was probably one of the ninja waiting for him. He figured he might as well run the last few meters.
When came closer to the person he said.
“Am I on time?”
He bended over leaning his arms on his knees, panted a few times and then look up.
“Excuse me, I’m Youko. Nice to meet you!”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*= That good times would come.
OOC: I wasn't really sure wether or not if it was an actuall grammaticly good sentence, or if it meant what I thought it did. So I thought I just do it this way.( It's a dutching saying I suppose^^)

Great now he has the letter. He took a good look on the letter. It said “the house at the well.” He frowned and looked strangely at the letter. “The house at the well” Yeah, he knew where it was but he assumed that it would have at least some kind of address. Well he didn’t really care he had the letter and could finish this mission. He was also a bit proud that he managed to put himself together when confronted the man and dared to stare him straight in the eye. He faced his fear, though it cost his face to catch all the water that came out of the man’s mouth which was pretty gross.

He walked towards the well. The breeze once more passed him. It felt so refreshing. He wondered how the secretary would react when they heard he has completed yet another mission. You could say he was pretty proud that he practically already finished this mission so fast. In just one morning he already finished another mission. Though when he thinks about it wasn’t something to be proud of but still. A D rank mission is and stays a D rank mission.

He arrived at the plaza where he found the house. As he remembered, it looked more like a wooden shed than an actual house. But what did he care? His mission was done as soon as he delivered the letter and told it to the man in post office. He slides the letter underneath the door. Great another mission done. He wondered he wanted to live in the wooden shed anyway. Well what he care, he ran back towards the post office. He was in a good mood again. It felt good to be in a good mood. He smiled, he might do another mission as soon as he went back to the kazekage’s mansion.
He stood in front of the post office. Though the man wasn’t that scary anymore as he was before, he still didn’t want see him. He decided to just scream inside that he’s done.
“YO! I DELIVERED THE MESSAGE! SEE YA!”
With those words he turned around and ran straight towards the kazekage’s mansion with another completed mission. [/exit]

Youko walked out of the kazekage’s residence with a smile on his face. This mission was going to be way easier than his last mission. The sun wasn’t staring fell on the ground yet and a nice breeze comes by now and then. The weather was definitely way better than it was last time. It was kind of refreshing. He was amazed that such a small breeze could feel so good. Well this weather wouldn’t last long because it won’t be long before the temperature would rise drastically.
He was supposed to go to the post office now and receive further orders. Sounded like some military facility if he said it like that.

However that was exactly how it was described in his mission note. Well at least they were more exact about the mission than they were about his last mission. When he thinks about it he always ends up thinking how he could he mess something up that bad? Now he had the opportunity to do this mission like any other ordinary mission and prove he was able of doing a D rank mission. Perhaps he would do even a C ranked mission after this.

He walked towards the post office. He wasn’t really in a hurry in fact, he was even taking his time. Because he had all day so there was no reason the rush through this mission. He’d only have more chance to screw it up again and the most important reason was simply, because he could. He never liked rushing through missions. But he even would like it better if he didn’t have to do anything at all. He wishes things happened out of themselves that’d make life so much easier. Just sitting down all day and tell people to relax, that’s what he’d do if he could but his rent wouldn’t allow him to. Kind of stupid where he was actually paying for if you consider what a shit hole his house actually is.

He also wanted to test out his new skills jutsu since he has been concentrating on his iron sand lately. It’s a really strong release and known by only few. When facing an opponent who didn’t know about his release he likes to freak them out, by letting his opponent run away from his own kunai. He considered it hilarious to play with someone’s life like that. Only the thought of it made a smile on his face. He was definitely going to do a C ranked mission next time.

He was nearly there. It was nice to see people when he wasn’t in a hurry. There also weren’t that many so it wasn’t crowded after all it was still morning. He wondered how a morning looked like in different countries will there be a morning fog or will it rain? He never got out of this dessert so he didn’t know. Plants were also very rare to him; the only plants he knew were the cactus and the cork tree. Pretty sad actually since he really wanted to see the world, the sight of an endless dessert started to bore him.

He entered the residence and walked straight to the secretary. He lay down a mission note.
"I'm done. Uhm... While you're at it can I perhaps have this mission?"

He was looking at a coach meant to be pulled forward by horses. It was a very old wooden coach. It was like a giant wheel barrow with two old wheels on each side. The tires were made of iron like a metallic ring around the wooden wheel. The iron tire was probably meant to prevent the wheel from getting damaged by stones on the road. Inside and next to the coach were some empty water containers. He took a deep breath. Well somebody has to do it.
However there was no way a regular person could lift that up. The two protrusions were too far apart from each other to be lifted by a regular person. However that was why he was ninja after all. He loaded in the water containers. Wiped the sweat off his forehead and made a seal.

“Bunshin no jutsu”

A fog appeared next to him. After the smoke faded a complete copy of him was standing right next to him. They nodded at each other already knowing what they were supposed to do. Both Youko’s grabbed one protrusion. They walked down the hill over the gravel path down the hill. When they were back on the paved road they stopped. Where to now? Was the question they both asked themselves. They could go to a well nearby but it’d take long before all the jars are filled. It would be way easier if they could just get it from another water tank. The hospital had a really big water tank, but they really needed it. That leaves Kazekage’s mansion. But he couldn’t risk getting caught. Because then all his effort would be for nothing.

The well it is then. He wanted this stupid mission to be done, to just get this over with. It has taken long enough. He increased his grip on the protrusion and added more speed in his pace. Not that long after he walked faster, he noticed that there were more people on the streets. Annoying, especially since he tried to rush this mission. People would only block the way between him and a path straight towards the well. The sun was already going down. There was no twilight yet, but temperature was surely dropping causing all these people to walk the streets again. Seems he wasted more time than he expected.

He slowed down as soon as he reached the more busy part of the street. He simply got ignored but the crowd if he screamed if they’d move or not. Stupid city people, they think the entire world revolves around them. Though he had nothing to complain about. Because when it comes down to it, it was HIM who became a shinobi. And it was HIM who wanted to do this mission. His enthusiasm unlike before was hardly found back. Though there wasn’t anyone to blame but him for running around like some sort of hallucinating junk. He learned his lesson now. From this point he promised himself to try and never make a mission harder than it already is.
[spoiler= ] Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Allows the user to create a clone without substance that resembles the user in every way, including retaining its movement speed. Clones cannot mold chakra nor perform jutsu, nor can they harm. Up to one clone can be made, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance that, although easily seen through by those with doujutsu, can fool the normal eye easily. Why? Simply because although without substance, the copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent, though no real damage can be done by it. Finally, as soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.
Domain: Academy Student Ninjutsu.[/spoiler]

He stood in front of his apartment. A small little cottage somewhere hidden in a corner in town. It was painted whiteprobably years ago because the paint about to fall off the walls . It had four windows. Two on the left side of the door and two on the right side of the door. It was an unpleasant sight. It looked like a pimple on the great wall around the village. Nobody really wanted it there. Because it didn’t fit in with all the other houses. They first wanted to demolish it. But now they were too busy to build other more important buildings. Like hospital and all those facilities where Youko couldn’t care less about. His house was still standing so he was satisfied.
Youko opened the door and walked inside. He almost trembled over some magazines. He always manages to take himself by surprise every time he enters his own house. Then he’d be surprised about how he made the inside of his house look like a shit hole even compared to the outside. It was as if someone broke in. Everything was on the ground and on places where it wasn’t supposed to be. Even with a map you wouldn’t find what you were searching for in his house. Only Youko was capable to navigate himself through this mess. He found his way to the bathroom. He took a quick shower and then he changed clothes. He quickly drank some water and he was set to go to the elderly woman where he didn’t know the address from.
He went back into the sun locking the door behind him. He walked towards the main street trying to figure out where he could retrieve he old lady’s address. He first thought of going back to the kazekage’s secretary. But he figured he’d probably got yelled at and then get kicked out for being such a loser that he can’t even do a D ranked mission. The secretary wasn’t well known for its temper let alone when they actually do walk out of patience.
Well that would only leave one place where he can get the address. The post office. He reached the main street. It should be somewhere on the left side of the street. While he was wandering through the street he saw some interesting shops he never noticed before, he might as well take a look at that later on. But right now he had a mission to do. Then he read a sign above one of the few buildings where people were actually inside.
“Post office”
Couldn’t miss. He went inside, and as expected it wasn’t busy at all. He came into a room full with filing cabinets over filled with paper. Between some cabinets you could slightly see a couch. The wall in front of him contained gaps with fences placed in the gaps. Behind every fence was a desk. Every desk had its own curtain which was supposed to tell you whether if the secretary behind the desk was available. Fortunately at least one was open. He walked towards the only available desk.
“Could you perhaps tell me where this lady lives?”

Youko ran cheerfully through the streets. He was really looking forward to another mission. It’s been ages since he went out for a mission with such a enthusiasm. It felt good somehow though it was just a D-ranked Mission. These were the lowest ranked missions he could possibly pick. For some reason he burned fire out of his eyes because he wanted to do this mission so badly. Even for Youko this was insane how enthusiastic he was right now. But he knew why. That is most important. He had another of those random motivations he gets after seeing something cool. He decided that from today on forwards he’d do anything to join the chuunin in their ranks.
This enthusiasm eventually got the better of him. As this was the only thing that ran through his mind. I’m going to be a chuunin, I have to get stronger and get off my lazy ass. Without his mind being in his head he ran through town going to nowhere. He just had to run his energy out. People looked at him like he was crazy. Running through the streets like he was some wild dog at 2 o’clock. Youko, brain was going crazy.
While insanely walking through the streets the body takes its toll. The paved floor where he was walking on started to become harder. His heel wouldn’t allow him to bend his foot. His calves start to hurt and his legs started to become heavier. Even his clothes were stuck to his skin. And the unpleasant smell of sweat was following his trail. It didn’t take much longer than this before he stopped running. It wasn’t really a pleasant sight. He had sweat all over his face and his sweat patches were visible through his clothes. And a dying thirst for water.
He thought it’d be better to keep on walking towards the water source so he could drink and freshen up instead of dying along the way. Sometimes it can be a really drag to live in a dessert. The killing heat of the sun. The endless sadness of the desert. The massive destruction of the sandstorms. The dried ground the city is build on. If it wasn’t for these uncomfortable climate he’d probably run another mile. Most people even avoid the sun during these hours. The sun is at his highest right now, well that explains all the sweat he thought to himself.
Then he stopped and looked around. Where was he? By surprise he found himself in what seems to be an abandoned or at least badly maintained quarter of town. He remembered he used to play in these houses when they were still being built. He remembered once was detained with his friends by the local workers. They were pretty crossed with them. He got away by saying he had to take a leak, and they actually bought it. Well it wasn’t like he was lying. Normally he would feel guilty for leaving the punishment on his friends without doing it himself. But since he had to go real bad. He felt rather relieved instead of bad about it.
Well now at least he was aware again of where he was he might get moving to the old lady now.
