Mission: Protection (minor)

[dandead10]

Name: Protection (minor)
Rank: C
IIC Length: ----
Difficulty:Medium
Objective: Defend the small village from bandit attacks
Description: Recently, a small band of pirates infiltrated the Land of Water and began terrorizing local civilian villages in town. The village thought to be the next target banded together to hire Kirigakure to protect them and chase of the bandits. Deal with the approaching bandits however most appropriate. Higher rewards given if no harm is caused to the village and its inhabitants.
Reward: 8500 ryo

Senshi Odayakama would currently be walking through the village towards the village gate. She is thrilled to be put on a mission especially one with possible action. Senshi currently is a bit nervous as well. Her first mission is one that will take her out of the village. The normally shyish, calm girl would be anxious for a taste of what a real shinobi does. She would be avoiding people as she hums a small tune to herself.

Senshi would currently be wearing her apparel as well as a new outfit. Senshi would be wearing blue cargo pants with a black shirt with fishnet underneath. The young ten year old's eyes would scan the village as she would pause. She would wonder where her teammate is. She would shrug as she would walk towards the gates. Senshi would think a ahead to her mission assignment. Different ways the mission could turn out would fill her head, both good and bad.

Senshi is currently equipped with her shuriken, kunai, katana, and good vibes as she would approach the village gate and would wait there for her teamate Ryko? Should have asked for his name really. Senshi would be sitting down leaning against the wall for her comrade. If he doesn't show up soon Senshi shall go do the mission herself. Food won't be a big problem seeing she could just hunt and cook something. She isn't sure how long it will take to reach the village, but that will need to wait for later.

[dandead10]

It's been a while and Senshi is getting impatient of waiting. The time to go is now. Surely her partner could catch up if he's even coming at all, and Senshi would head to the gate to inform the guards she is leaving the village for her mission. After showing her credentials, headband, and her purpose she would be ready to head out. If accepted she would head out into the foreign unknown. It's a shame he didn't come in time, she could have really used the support on the mission. With no commander to lead her she will have to make her best judgement.
(OOC:referring to the Egress post I made previously due to my nooby mistake.)

Senshi would be highly excited to see the new sights out of the village as she would carefully navigate out of the mist. The swampy areas are less than desired to be around as it feels very humid and dirty. Senshi from a younger age has been of course taught how to actually leave the mist without getting lost. Senshi would walk step after step as she would recall that she must go to rainbow village and how to get there. "Geeze...I hope I can get there quickly. I wouldn't want to reach a burned down village by the time I get there." Senshi would leap from tree to tree now as she would head to the coastline to the village.

Senshi must first head for the forestry and she would witness the course of nature around her as she sees several plants, animal species, and other things she has never seen before. Having no time to spare enjoying these things the young ten year old would leap on forward. She hopes she can get there before it's too late. After hours of jumping from tree to tree Senshi had passed the fertile land and would move on. Having passed the forest Senshi would take a breather. Senshi feels like her legs are going to fall off from leaping so long, so she is currently sitting on a small tree breathing deeply as she would have her right hand on her chest. Senshi would stand as she would now head for the coastline. Senshi can truly rest once she gets to the village location.

As the sun begins to sink below the sky Senshi would be absolutely exhausted as she travels along the coastline searching for Niji village. The sound of the ocean waves are calming and nice as Senshi would walk through the sand. Senshi hadn't had much to eat ever since the morning. So far she had some rice and cabbage soup at home. Senshi would eat a granola bar from her cloak as she walks by ready for anything at the moment. Senshi would suddenly see bright lights in the distance and she would strain her eyes. Senshi would see several men armed with what looks like scythes and pitchforks? They are carrying torches and she would begin to run foward to ask for directions, maybe they are the villagers she is supposed to protect.

Senshi hadn't expected a pitchfork to end up by her feet as she looks startled by the attack. "Stop right there! Who are you?!" Senshi would walk a bit closer and they would see my headband as well that I'm a child. "My name is Senshi Odayakama and I was sent here to ward off bandits from Niji village." The villagers would look flabbergasted as one of them would curse. "This is just a child! Kirigakure cheated us!" Senshi would take a great offense to that as she would suddenly step foward with a determined look katana drawn. "Kirigakure has not forsaken you, I will do everything in my power to make sure that no enemy will harm your village. Apon my honor I swear this. I am highly skilled and prepared for whatever the enemy may throw at me. However, I will not take disrespect torwards my village." Not wanting to cause any hostility, she would sheath her blade.

One of the men gathered, who appeared as an elder, seemed to have had enough. "No, this is what all our Great Nation has to offer?! Ridiculous! I will not stand for this; leave and never return!" he shouted and cast his pitchfork towards the kunoichi, obviously placed under an immense level of stress. His crops had been constantly harvested by these bandits, and the Rainbow village had suffered for it. Apparently all the other farmers felt the same way, and begrudgingly followed suit of the elder; they turned their arms against Senshi.

"Well, fuck.. that's no way to have faith, you louts mad at us and can't even protect yourselves!" the voice would come from behind the Kirigakure genin; it was Shinkichi, a chuunin of the nation! His orange ponytail flipped in the brief wind as he placed his hand on the hilt of his ninjato; other weapons on his person included goo pouches and sets of caltrops; he also possessed a national map of the Thales countryside and used that to locate Niji no Sato. "As stated by Senshi, we will eradicate your problem, give us time to work out a solution..." He approached the female nin and went on to fill her in on the whole story.

"So apparently these pricks from the island of Fang have come over and decided to fuck with our local forces. From reports, none of them have any ninja skill.. all taijutsu based opponents, which makes our job a bit easy." He then placed his creepy eyes on the elder, who shifted in a shudder: "D-don't hurt me!" "Relax, we are here to help ya.."

"Then stop looking at us like that!"

"Like what?" he scratched his head.

"Like that, you half wit!"



Just then, from a kilometer away, further inside the village, a loud explosion went off. Somehow, the bandits managed to slip inside the village without alerting forces... what was this? "They are attacking the village! Lets go!" The old man had renewed strength as he hoisted his battle fork in the air; all his comrades joined in suite of rallying their spirits; Shinkichi stood looking stupefied for a moment.

As the men rushed off, Shin turned back to Sen. "Hey lets follow em and see what we can do..." He winked and cast a set of handseals simultaneously; instantly, a cloud of smoke gave way to two more coroporeal-appearing beings in his likeness. Shadow clones. They rushed after the men to catch up to the bandits and hopefully Senshi hadn't yet lost her growing spirit.

[dandead10]

Senshi's mouth would be agape, but only for a moment as she would rush foward following this man and his orange haired clones. Senshi would never have guessed that a chunin would be here to assist her. Senshi would stop for a moment to do her own handsigns and six water clones would form from the nearby ocean as they would follow her drawing katanas. Senshi would be at ease knowing that she has a ally to assist her on this mission, and she would draw her own blade. She would contemplate the information of the knowledge that these men are all taijutsu based and no shinobi skills. Even with this information it would not be wise to think lowly of these enemies. She was shocked before when the people of the village were going to turn on her, and even more so when the explosion occurred. Senshi would see the smoke rising into the air, a black smoke that rises into the night sky.

Senshi has never had much skill in Taijutsu, average at best. Her best bet would be to have her clones engage in close quarters as she would attack from long range distance with her ninjutsu. As a genin however, perhaps she should put out the fires with her jutsu. Surely Shinkichi-San and the villagers can take care of the bandits while her clones protect the families and help evacuate. Senshi would think about what jutsu she can use to effectively take out the possible fires burning throughout the landscape and only one comes to mind. Suiton Suijinheki is her pride jutsu that she has at her disposal and her jutsu of choice at the moment.

Senshi would dash following behind her far more experienced senior comrade. She would keep her eyes straight ahead and she would then steel herself. "Taicho, what should I do when we get there? Surely the bandits are burning the buildings and raiding homes. I would go into combat, but I'm sure the villagers would appreciate if some of their homes were still standing." Senshi would look at the man more closely seeing his Ninjato and his eyes the villagers were frightened by, but she does not judge people solely by their look, but also by their personallity and skill. Seeing Shinkichi is a chunin right now and she is not, she will follow this man's orders.

What makes Senshi worry quite a bit is what the enemy is armed with. She expects swordsmen, halberds, axes, cross bows, or bows and none of them seem to be very appealing. Her clones having only one tenth of her physical strength which isn't very high in the first place won't be good for much. At best maybe she could use them as distractions and strike in the back. Or perhaps a Kirigakure No Jutsu and then strike under cover of the mist? Senshi would be thinking about what is on the line in this mission, and she would find a simple answer that strengthens her resolve. Her village's honor, the lives of this village and others like it, and of course the prevention of evil scum in her nation. Senshi would tighten her left hand over her katana handle and would await Shinkichi's reply.

What a interesting first mission this turned out to be. She never thought a C-rank would be the first mission she would receive. Senshi had never killed anybody, although she had been informed long before of what the duty of a shinobi details. Shinkichi looks quite strong and he used some sort of bushin she has never heard of or seen before. Footstep after footstep on the coast leaving prints in the sand in the cool night sky, Senshi would look up at the moon not quite knowing how this will end. She had often asked her parents what it is like taking a life, but has never experienced it herself. Senshi would be getting lost in all her thoughts as she awaits Shinkichi's answer. Senshi would then shake her head as she needs to focus on the main objective.

[dandead10]

Senshi would never have gotten the answer as suddenly she would be greeted with the sight of battle commencing. As she had thought she would see various men looking quite obviously like bandits attacking the common villagers not distinguishing between man woman or child. She sees some are wearing armor and they have various weapons such as: swords, crossbows, and spears. Senshi would tense as she sees the several villagers defending their home and she would see several buildings lit aflame. The burning fires would reflect against Senshi's eyes and battle cries can be heard.

Senshi would be frozen for a second as she sees an arrow fly straight for her head, but thankfully her clone next to her would hit it with its blade changing it's trajectory to the floor. Senshi would snap out of it as she would rush foward as her clones would split up to direct enemy attention. Senshi would see the elderly man from before being overwhelmed by three men and she would flash through a handseal sequence. She sees only twenty five here, but she is sure there must be more. As the elderly man is knocked to the floor with a strong hit of a sword knocking his pitchfork to the ground Senshi would jump calling out her jutsu name. "Suiton: Teppodama!" A giant ball of water would slam into his assailant and he would skid on the ground. A villager would take liberty to beat the bandit while he is down as his two associates turn to face her.

"Oi! It's a shinobi from the mist!" One of them would yell to the other as the one next to him would smirk. "It's just a snot nosed brat! Kill her!" Both would rush at her and at this moment Senshi would stand strong and focused on the environment around her. Senshi would rush foward at the first man armed with a spear and he would growl stabbing foward at her. Senshi would sidestep before kicking the spear upwards to make the man lose balance. The man would step backwards losing his balance as the second man would charge at her with a sword swinging diagnolly aiming to slice her down. She would leap back before avoiding a stab by narrowly spinning. She would in turn deliver a pivot kick into the swordsmans stomach before delivering a horizantal slice with her katana. In that moment of adrenaline Senshi would feel her blade cut apon the flesh of this man as blood flies. The man would widen his eyes gasping as Senshi had gone past him, and then he would fall face down blade clattering to the floor.

The other man would look enraged at the sight of his dead or dying friend and she would hear a battle cry as he would charge her. Senshi would avoid stab after stab of the spear, before she would backflip back to the first man she had killed. Suprisingly she is highly calm and she would step on the handle of the deceased man's sword making it fly up and she would catch it before throwing it impaling the armed spearman's arm. "AAHH! DANM IT!" The Spearman would yell. His spear is dropped as he would cry out in agony. In that moment Senshi would rush foward and would slice the man diagnolly slicing him across the shoulder from the right side to his stomach. The man would shake as blood would squirt on Senshi's face, before he would fall backwards. The elderly old man witnessed the whole thing, and is suprised...no shocked that a child killed two men with no hesitation.

Senshi's Mizu Bushin had all perished in the battle, but had either helped a villager take a enemy down, or bought enough time to allow a civilian to run. Senshi's heart would be beating faster than ever as she would be feeling the rush of battle. Suddenly Senshi would see six armed men see her and they would begin to charge her. Her eyes would widen as they are thirty feet away. They see her as a large threat seeing she is a shinobi and want to get her out of the picture. They would charge at her as Senshi would begin to go through her handsigns. Senshi would see them run closer and closer, but her jutsu is completed. Senshi's chest would puff up as she would yell, "Suiton : Suijinheki!" A large wall of water, or rather a giant wave would stand 25 feet tall. The wave would move outwards as she directs her hands forward in front of her chest, and she sees her enemies yelling rapidly trying to retreat from the wave. Senshi's wave would crash down apon her enemies as it would wash them away with yells following. She has no time to rest as she sees the battle continuing. Battle is still raging apon the village and people may be dying. Senshi would rush to head for her next batch of enemies as the villagers are confident they can drive their invaders from their homes.

While the kunoichi dispatched of a handful of the foreign rogues, Shinkichi himself leapt into action. With several Nara-hidenjutsu techniques, he left several of them immobilized; and continuing his assault, he strangled them with vice-grip shadows. Turning his own head, he was impressed with what he had seen from Senshi: perhaps young, but possessing the spirit of a seasoned shinobi.

The efforts of his Kage Bunshin and her water clones helped the denizens of the Rainbow village to safety.


As the fight continued on, the spirits of the inhabitants of the village seemed to grow fervor. Firstly, witnessing a female child take on many-a-foe caused them to want to jump into action; secondly, the immobilizing effects of Shin's Nara jutsu gave many a feel of confidence over their un-moving  assailants. "Hey, watch it, dumbass..!" he shouted over the cries and fires in the village. Someone had snuck in a haymaker to one of the Fang pirates and it caused Shinkichi some pain too. His shadow clones from before had now joined the fray with Suiton techniques that might have impressed Senshi had she been observing. Their numbers were quickly thinning.


"Retreat, retreat!" they hollered across the village. What few stragglers remained fumbled towards their ship and hastily departed the isle of Thales; several bandits that hadn't been slain, had been apprehended by the Shadow Clones of Shinkichi, and now the fight was over.

Several of the elders in Rainbow Village approached the two Mist ninja after the threat diminished. "Sorry.. sorry for doubting you, young woman. You are indeed a capable fighter and a strong warrior of Kirigakure!" Praises went up and the spirits of the area seemed full of joy and appreciation. One elder walked towards the girl and handed her an item. "Here, take this as a token of our thanks. It is a hand woven cloak made only in Niji no Sato." If she would take the apparel item, she would unfold it to see a navy cloak with a rainbow inside.

Shin wrapped an arm around the kunoichi and offered a very rare smile. The usually dark chunin was impressed by her. "Great job. Lets head back to the village... I'm surprised the other guy who was sent on this mission too didn't show up." He darted off towards Kirigakure; "Lets head back to the Tower."

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) [2 clones]
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: "Clone Seal"
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after 1 or 2 solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. (Cannot gain extra training points through training with Shadow clone.) User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a "B" Rank Jutsu. Shadow Clones may travel between different threads within the same board.

Special: "Holds Rat Seal" Technique performs after length of normal handseals.
Drawback: Tiring to use repeatedly. The ability is subject to some form of diminishing return and decreases in potency after repeated use. If the user is low on chakra, the performance rate of the technique also deteriorates. Insufficient lightning will make the technique less effective. A particularly strong opponent can also resist the shadow's forced imitation. May only change directions within the span of 60 degrees. When retracting the technique it may only retract by retracing where it has gone.
Description: Once the user's shadow comes in contact with the target's shadow, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements. The user and the target could both throw a kunai. It is recommended to keep all weapons in areas where they normally don't keep them.
First Learned user uses technique up to 10 meters. Each time learned gains an extra 10 meters.
After 50 meters user must train an extra 10 TP per tech - TP Does not go down by Class Level.
After 100 meters user must train an extra 10 TP per tech - TP Does not go down by Class Level.
After 150 meters user must train an extra 10 TP per tech - TP Does not go down by Class Level.
Cap of this technique is 200 meters.

Technique may travel 10 meters per second plus 5 meters per Class Level.
Every 20 meters user is able to split the shadow by 1 giving a maximum of 10 splits.
Each split shares the max amount of distance user is able to perform this technique.

Every time used in a single mission that is in the time-span of 1 I.C. day will reduce max distance by 5 meters.
User may hold an opponent for 4 rounds plus 1 round per 50 meters.
Every Class level the opponent is higher than user the time limit reduces by 1 round.
If user is a Master of the Clan the amount of rounds increases by 1 round.

When user's Chakra reduces by 1/4 their max distance reduces by 1/4. Same mathematics occurs the more chakra is used. (Use Honor System).
May only use other Nara Techniques in conjunction with this technique.

EXIT, mission complete

[dandead10]

Senshi would be suprised at how quick and easy that turned to be, much more easy than she had expected. Senshi would have sheathed her blade as the battle had ended. As she was handed the cloak she was suprised to say the least. The cheers the rejoice and most of all the praise would have her back into her shy personallity. She would blush a bit as Shinkichi had wrapped his arm around her and praised her also. She would take the cloak with her as she would bow. She would nod to Shinkichi's request to leave and she would turn.

"Thank you for the gift people of Niji village. Thank you for giving me the chance to serve my nation." Senshi would turn to leave as she would leap after Shinkichi.
