Leaving the Kusagakure Keep, Zeri would begin looking around until he found a guard standing nearby, just look for the stern faced individuals who do nothing all day save for stand around. Asking one for directions, he would begin heading towards the mail center of the village, towards the east and a little to the north from Kusa Keep. He had wandered this city for the longest time on his sleepless nights, though he didn't really take the time to get his bearings or anything, he just wandered; maybe he should figure out his directions while he's doing this mission.

Looking towards the area where the guard had pointed, Zeri would denote this as the eastern direction on the compass, noticing it's in the same direction the sun rises. So the sun would rise in the east, that means it sets in the west; and if he were to turn to his left he'd be facing towards the north then. Nodding to himself he would begin moving as quick as he could towards the mail center, taking the roof path just so he didn't run into any people on the street. There were some gangs here in Kusa that were rather a nuisance to the populace, perhaps he'll take care of them after some more training, clean things up a bit. Sighing softly to himself as he stops on a roof and gets his bearings, he'd look around to find the spot on the horizon the sun rises, and the secondary landmark that the guard spoke of; a noodle stand with a purple lantern on its side with the Kanji for Freedom. Falling to the ground, not much of a fall though he could feel a little sting in his ankles, he's go to the noodle stand then turn to the left to begin heading North.

The streets were not as crowded here, a few rough individuals here and there, though they tended to ignore or outright avoid Zeri, his eyes scanning the people as he went. Shady people, lovely, they always proved to be a big thorn in his side; feet taking him towards the mail center in the north, the sign already visible from here. This would be an easy mission if things went according to plan, though hardly in his life do things go according to the plan he sets out. It was then he noticed a small feeling; the tip of his nose tugged slightly as he faced north, it was almost as if he was drawn to this direction. Spinning in place, Zeri looked like a lunatic, but he was able to figure out that yes it was only to the north that he felt the pulling feeling in his nose, a rather odd thing that.

Entering into the mail center, Zeri would hand over the mission slip to the large man who looked to be charge, and then would be handed a mail bag that had to be returned at the end of the route. He was told to take his time, but if he could be done quickly, that would be for the best in the long run. They had four parcels that needed to be delivered today, so the bag was loaded with these, and he was told to take care to not get jumped by anyone. Then he was given directions to the four places he would have to deliver the mail to; they were all over Kusa so he would be given a small map and some verbal instructions.

   -1) Go to the Western edge of Kusa, right near the wall would be a shop for shoes, the delivery is the longer package with the stamp for Cobbler on it. Head west from here and look for the old oak tree next to a blue roofed building, once there, turn right from the back of the blue roofed building, and you should see the shoe shop from there.

   -2) From the shoe shop, go a bit to the north and head east from there. The Academy is expecting a delivery of school supplies, the circular package would be those. Since you are a ninja you should remember where the Academy is.

   -3) Once finished with the Academy, go to the south and find an old bridge, across the bridge would be a cat of luck; from the cat of luck go to the east a bit until you see a building with a red and purple door. That door is the third delivery, a cube package for the business on the second floor. Ask for Ramone.

   -4) Finally, you'll want to head back towards the mail center, but when you get halfway back you'll want to go a bit more to the north. Best way to figure out when you go north would be to find the Ice Cream cart, with the Kanji for cold on the side of it. Once you head north, wait until you see an old statue of an old lady on a bench, there you'll go to the right and head up some stairs, and at the top of those stairs is the business for the final package.

Taking the time to ensure that all the parcels were inside the mail bag that was given to him, Zeri would then thank the man for his time and a promise to be done soon. Leaving the Mail Center, he'd then look to the area of the setting sun, that would be where he'd have to go to deliver the first parcel. This was going to be a long day, as his feet begin to take him along the path to the noodle stand once more, before taking to the roofs of the village. Jumping from building to building, Zeri would follow the path plotted in his mind to the destination given to him by the chief.

Thinking about it while he has the time, Zeri would let his mind wander to the feeling he had before, where the tip of his nose felt as if it was being pulled when he was facing toward the north. He recalls the geezer talking about something dealing with men having a higher concentration of iron in their nose, thus making them living compasses; they just need to harness this innate ability somehow. This would be a rather interesting training, as he didn't have any way of know where he was going, if he figured this out he'd be able to forgo a compass and just walk wherever he wanted. Looking at the map that was given to him, it was an overview of the village with marks where the deliveries needed to go. Finding the landmarks that were closest to him, Zeri would be able to pinpoint where he was a bit easier, realizing that he was going a bit more to the left than he wanted to, instead going north to restabilize himself on the correct path. Maps were useful as well when they needed to be, wonder if there was any maps of interesting places he could visit later on.

After some time of traveling, Zeri would stop near the area that the chief's map would state the Cobbler was, standing on the roof with a peering eye to look around. Scanning the colors of the rooftops, Zeri would keep his eyes out for blue roof tiles as he was told. The sun was right above, the glare keeping the tiles in a bit of a shine with the cicada's chirping in the background, wind blowing to cool off an otherwise burning hot day; this was a bit of a pain in the ass as he slowly scans the area, but unable to find anything close to a blue roof. He'd begin tapping his foot as he thought it over, the chief had told him to find a blue roof and that would lead him to the cobblers... but there were no blue roofed buildings on the west side from what he could see; his eyes darting around for another look before he gives up with a sigh... his eyes looking down in defeat to find a blue roof staring back at him. Now he felt like an idiot.

With the landmarks in line, the old oak tree was a bit to the south of the blue roof, Zeri could see the Cobbler's shop from here, hopping down from the roof to get onto the street and walking towards the building. Looking through the mailbag, Zeri would find the longest package in there, pulling it out as he reached the door; giving a few knocks before standing there and waiting. When the cobbler on duty answers, he hands the package over to the guy, giving a kind smile under the mask; "Hello sir, sorry for the wait, but here is your delivery. If you could sign here please to show that the package has been received?" Zeri produces the documentation, and once signed, will put it away to begin leaving; giving the man a bow of respect before taking to the roof tops again.

Now that the delivery to the shoe store was completed, Zeri would stand on the roof of a lovely smelling restaurant... with the benefactor money he may decide to go there for dinner. However, he is unable to right now as he on a job, his eyes scanning to find the direction of north, his nose giving that little tugging that it does; then turning his head towards the North East, towards the academy where he learned how to be a Ninja. It would have been a month or so since he graduated, the time having flown by as he hops from building to building. It was a bit of a run to reach the Academy, but he didn't really need the map for this as he remembered where the building was. Perhaps it would be better if he was to take a more scenic route, he was still some miles away from the Academy at this point, taking footpaths would extend the travel to an hour and some time, but it would also give him training time to go through the maze they call Kusa.

That would be the better plan of action, Zeri jumping to the ground from a slightly lower position than he was as he didn't want to cause himself any damage at this point. Now in a sort of like maze area in the back streets, Zeri would begin weaving his way through the many different twists and turns that lead through Kusagakure. From the last point he saw the academy, he had to stay in a North Eastern path, meaning that he just had to go forward from this point. The tugging feeling in his nose would usually show up whenever he had a north facing point, now that he was aware of it that it would be noticeable, but if he wasn't really thinking on it then the tug wouldn't be as noticeable. His feet would drag him further and further into the maze that he found himself, keeping his eyes open for anyone that would try to cause him trouble, but everyone usually kept to themselves in these back alleys; turning left here to bring himself out to the main road where a street sign stated that in this direction was the academy. He looked back at the maze behind him, perhaps it wasn't that much of a shortcut, before turning back to the street and running across to the street that led to the Academy.

Within a few more minutes, he would find he could see the outer walls of the academy, the building in and of itself was rather impressive for the small amount of ninja that it produced every year. Sighing softly, Zeri would look through the mail bag to find the circular tin like package from within, his feet slowly walking him up to the front door of the building, and into it to find the way to the Principal's office. All around he could see some classes in session with small kids here and there doing their studies, even seeing some of his old teachers doing their lessons. It was a shame he wasn't here for a visit, it would be fun to talk to some of the people he got to know here. If he recalled, Principal's office was up two flights of stairs, take the left, and then at the end of the hallway would be the Office. A soft sigh would come from him, he didn't like going to the office whenever he had to, now is not any different.

Going up the flight of stairs, he would find his mind going to many different places as he went forward, but this wasn't the time nor the place to be doing that. He would quicken his steps to try and get out of here in a hurry, his feet taking him up to the second story, and he would hang a left. Looking at the hallway to the Principal's Office, the walls were covered with pictures of old heads of the school, as well as the Kages of the Kusa village, there have been a few of them. Knocking on the door, Zeri would wait for permission before stepping inside, presenting the package to the Principal; "Hello sire, nice to see you again. I have brought a package for the school. Could you please sign here as well so the mail center knows it has been delivered?" Once signed, Zeri would bow respectfully to the principal, before taking the easy way out of the window and heading to the roof of the building.

Once on the Academy's roof, he would slowly turn until he felt the odd tug in his nose from the magnetic pull of north, then he would turn around until he was facing towards the south. From the height of the Academy, he would look around to find a way to continue on, the only safe jump from here would be the tree in the front area, then down to another tree, then to the building after that. From what the Chief said, look for an old bridge and there would be a cat after that, and to find a purple and red door after turning left from the cat. Zeri could see a sort of old bridge from here, so he was sure he was looking in the correct direction. Taking in a deep breath, Zeri would begin his descent from the top of the building to the lower ones; hitting the tree with a left elbow to propel himself down to the second tree which he kicks off of to come to a stop onto the lower building, making his way south.

Hopping from roof to roof, the young Shinobi would begin to let his mind wander once more to the past, the academy had caused a slight stirring in his chest from the times before. But, that wouldn't do for now, he must take his mind off of the past, and force it to stay on the present and the job at hand. He was drawing close to the old bridge as it was, this part of the village was a bit in disrepair, he saw a mission in the keep to get some wood and such for the repair work to be done here. Landing on the ground, Zeri would begin to walk up on the bridge, his eyes looking around at the buildings that were in desperate need of renovation, could even tell they were lived in by less fortunate people. Maybe he'll take the mission to retrieve the wood at some point so he can help restore this area.

Across the bridge, he pretty much found the golden cat statue of luck almost instantly, the most gaudy thing he could ever find. Now he had to go left since he was facing south, which would lead him to the east and towards the third delivery. It was definitely been a long day so far for him, so much quick movements and jumping around to get these deliveries done, but he is learning how to better figure out where he was going. Making his way down the street, he sees small vendors lining either side, with a small throng of people moving about with their kids and families. He had to come through around the time everyone was out and about, should have stuck to the rooftops. Avoiding making eye contact with the people, he quickly makes his way to the door and checks the front mailbox for the names... finding Ramone on the third floor.

Buzzing in, would allow the client to know that he was there and would allow him into the building, which a person in the front says to just take the stairs, and he'll be the second door on the right. The stairs were straight ahead, and they weren't that big, kind of a small one person staircase that would require some acrobatics to have multiple people on. The interior of the building was filled with some broken and moldy bits, and some graffiti. There was no smell though, which was probably for the best in this situation; but it wouldn't be long before he got to the fourth floor and walked down the hallway to the second door on the right, fishing out the cube package for this client. After knocking on the door and waiting for Ramone to answer, he held out the package and the sign in sheet; "Hello Ramone, I have a package delivery for you, could you please sign here so the mail center knows it was delivered to you?" Ramone quickly signs the paper and slams the door after taking his package, which allowed Zeri to exit from this rather cramped and not so pleasant place... onto his final delivery then.

Once leaving the rather disturbingly disgusting house, Zeri would take to the roof once more to find his bearings in the rather large village of Kusa, taking out the map from his pocket to take a quick look at it. Well from the map, and what the chief told him before he left, he would need to head back in the direction of the Mail Center, but go a bit more north. And according to the map he is looking at, he would need to go only a bit more eat from here, and very much north to the very wall of Kusa. This was going to be a rather long trip just to get to the final delivery, but with a good thump on his chest, Zeri would put away the map before beginning the long trek to the northern part of the village.

The distance wasn't really all that great if one took to the roof, his natural taijutsu specialty giving him great momentum and flexibility when it came to speed and jumping. This type of movement was nothing to the young Genin as he move with grace and was rather enjoying the wind in his hair and on his face; he could see the whole village from the rooftops, and could get a better feeling of direction from up here. The village was a maze pretty much to anyone on the ground, but to those who could see it from above, then there was no mystery to it, though he feels that feeling the journey in and of itself is better to one who is learning their directions. Every so often, Zeri would hop onto the ground and walk around through the streets and mingle with the people that were down here; many people were enjoying their daily routines more than anything it would seem. Taking left and rights, he would explore the area he would find himself, without losing track of the northern direction that he needed to head. This would take him an extra forty minutes before he was able to see the bench with the old lady statue, where he would go up the stairs to the east and once at the top find the building he was looking for.

It was a small newspaper stand, looking around he found that the owner wasn't anywhere to be seen. This was odd as he would suspect the guy to realize that a package should be arriving any time now, scratching the back of his head, Zeri decides it would be best to probably take some time to walk around and then come back. Taking a side alleyway, Zeri would follow the pathway given before him, the brick looking old with age but still rather decent for it's time. He would take about twenty minutes of just weaving around the back alley way before deciding it was time to go back... looking around and figuring out the landmarks or small signs that would lead him back the way he came. It wasn't much of a detour, but it took him long enough to get back to the newspaper stand, where he found the manager.

Once the manager was hailed, Zeri would produce the final parcel from the bag and hand this as well as the clipboard with the sign sheet to him. Taking a deep breath; "Hello sir, package delivery for you this day. Could you please sign the sheet so the mail chief knows it has been received?" After all this, the manager would sign the sheet and hand it back to Zeri, who bows respectfully and decides he will take the long way back to the mail center, on foot.

Without much further ado, it was time for Zeri to return to the mail center, which was only a few blocks away from here if his map was to be believed. His feet would carry him over the paved streets with the wonderful smells of the street vendor food floating through the air. It was near dinner time right now, so there were some people around who were ordering meals from these vendors, he could even see many shinobi hanging around now that they were off duty. One day he'll be able to do what these people have done, and enjoy a nice quiet night with a street vendor's wonderful food... maybe with a wonderful partner following him along.

It was nice to be distracted from time to time, maybe once he completes this mission he'll stop for something to eat and enjoy himself. His feet dragging him further and further away from the wonderful smells as he takes a right and continues to go straight. Following the map and the twists and turns on it, it wouldn't take him that long to find the Mail Center once more while on foot, and at this height he could enjoy the wonderful sights that the other people normally see on a daily basis. Another right here, and the straight for a while before turning left, it was within reason that this mission was nearly done. He could see the mail center from where he was, happy that he would be getting money sometime soon, and could use that for wonderful foods. And with his new found skill in direction sense, he could find the places for food with minimal ease; a lovely though as he walked through the doors of the center.

Finding the chief here on the main floor, Zeri would turn over the mail bag and the sign in sheet; once the old man has checked the signatures and verified that they arrived, he would give Zeri a letter of completion to give to the mission desk. With a polite bow and a thank you for the time and the wonderful day of traveling that he got to do, Zeri would wave goodbye to the mail chief, promising to come back whenever he needs anymore help. Once he has left, Zeri was finding himself wandering the streets of Kusa once more, moving towards the Keep to turn in the mission completion letter and get his money; maybe having a little fun along the way... well, time to get going then.
