Completed mission

With a smile the mission papers were given to the assistant signifying his completion.

50x50 meters was the size of the beautiful lake, wildlife making their home here and the few beams of light that peaked through the trees reflected nicely from the water showing the occasional fish swimming through those areas of light. For now Zorishi was stood no more than a foot from the eastern side of the lake with his eyes tracking the various fish that traveled through the particular beam of light directly below. It was a great place to get started.

“No time to waste!” Immediately the genin would reach with his right hand to the handle of the spear to remove it from his back, the point facing towards the water and his left hand well in front for momentum. Delicate timing was needed in order to both get as many fish as possible in one try and also to stop the rest from descending to a point in the water where they would be uncatchable. This meant that precision was the name of the game, precision, speed, and timing – simple enough.

Left foot planted into the ground before continuing, intense concentration before his eyes lit up, an opening. In a split second his spear was heading towards the water – the surface area almost staying the same with a very minor splash such was the precision of the weapon. The goal was quite easily attained here as the first fish connected with the point, its body sliding further up due to the momentum of the strike until it was positioned at the very end of the handle where the hilt met the metal. This was not the end however, before the other fish could make their escape there were several more strikes of the spear; two, three, four, five fish making their new temporary home the speak of Zorishi.

Removing the spear from the water whilst the rest of the fish had made their escape going several meters deeper Zori admired his work, perfect cuts straight down the middle of each one which would make cleaning and cooking them much easier. The fish were removed and placed neatly in a row 15 meters away from the lake on the ground unmoving having met their fate – it was about survival after all and this was their unfortunate role in the food chain in such an area.

After securing the fish and cleaning the blade Zori turned back towards the lake needing a second plan to capture the required amount, still ten to go. The fish were out of range of his spear and diving in with only the spear would be more than difficult as combating them in their natural environment was a potential disaster as they knew who their pursuer was by now. This could only mean one thing – a disguise and trick strategy through the transformation technique..but what. Anyone observing the boy from the outside looking in would see an intense concentration as his head was tilted downward and his eyes were closed, this was the sign of a genius at work.

‘That’s it!’ the hoody, shirt, and scarf were all removed leaving a bare chested Zorishi as his plan was about to be set into action. “Transformation Jutsu!” with a release of chakra and a cloud of smoke moving itself from his location his clever ruse was revealed. Now resting on the upper lip of Z was a full moustache that would hid his identity from any suspecting fish or humans who walked by. With a full smile and spear in hand a can opener dive was made into the lake, a quick descent allowing a second meeting with the school of fish who seemed unthreatened by this new person in the water though he looked vaguely familiar.

A flurry of spear strikes changed this for them as ten more fish had fallen victim to the spear of Zori making their way about three feet down the handle. Mission accomplished, with a big splash the boy ascended from the water performing two front flips in the air before sticking a perfect landing on the same ground where he had dived in. The grin returned to his face as his clothes were put back on and the other five fish were picked up and carried with the forearms preventing them from falling to ground with the rest of them retaining their positions on the spear, back to the hut it was!

Taking his first strides into the residence the newly promoted genin was excited to go into his first mission. Surprisingly he was able to go on this mission alone although he had been eager to meet with some of the others of the village but perhaps this experience was best in order to learn what it meant to be a genin, later would perhaps be the time to form a team of comrades.

The tip of his spear reflected light with every step until reaching the desk, a smile on his face as he handed the mission paper to the secretary.

"Hello! I'm here to take this mission as my first ever!" he was still a young boy and although he was usually a collected individual his excitement was easy to see and apparent through his voice. Once approved he would exit to prepare.
