Name: Supply Requisition (Wood)
Rank: D
IIC Length: 1 Day
Difficulty: Medium
Description: Because of the surge in building activity within the village, the store houses that keep building supplies are running low. Your job is to purchase the replacement materials and escort the delivery crew to the village. Since the land of grass is abundant in wood, you simply need to travel to the Capital City in Kusa no Kuni in order to gain the supplies.
Objective: Travel to the Grass City Capital and accompany the new shipment of wood back to the village.
Reward: ¥1562

After leaving the village gates, Chiro began the walk toward Aokusa, the capitol city of the Land of Grass. It was early morning, and he hoped to arrive just before sunset. This would allow for any unforeseen circumstances, and for a comfortable journey. Not that the Aburame was expecting any difficulties, but it never hurt to be safe. The road to the Capitol was well traveled, and it was uncommon for bandits to attack travelers along the route. So Chiro settled into a nice pace and let the beautiful scenery accompany him on his travel. And his kikaichu, of course.

Along the road, Chiro met several travelers headed in the opposite direction, and some interesting species of insect as well. About an hour after noon he sat down and ate a small lunch, which he had prepared before hand, and enjoyed a slight rest. He continued on, and this time called forth a small amount of Kikaichu to distract him along the way. The bugs twisted into the complex images Chiro conjured up in his mind, and after tiring of that, Chiro worked on using some of his Clan Jutsu to transform the kikaichu into various weaponry and items. The jutsu itself was quite simple, but the number of items one could form was up to his or her imagination. Soon Chiro found himself walking into the city of Aokusa. Behind the city walls, the sun had just begun to set.

Chiro determined the location of the lumber mill within the city, and then rented a small room near the mill. After a hot shower and another small meal, Chiro went to bed, setting an alarm for the early morning to purchase the needed materials and escort them back to Kusagakure.

Rays of sunlight found there way between cracks in the blinds, lighting up dust motes as they floated around the tiny motel room. Outside, a group of birds called out to the early morning, signifying the brand new day. And inside, a small alarm started beeping. A lazy arm reached out from underneath the multitude of blankets and slapped the annoying device, and a groan emanated from somewhere within the Blanket Sea. Chiro emerged from beneath the tangled and tumultuous bed and rubbed his face with both hands. The watch he had set the alarm on read 6:15 am. Sighing, he swung his feat over the side of the mattress and braced himself to stand.

Thirty minutes later...

Dressed, showered, shaved, and generally prepared, Chiro pulled the mission details out from the concealed pocket within his vest and went over them one more time. It was a milk run. Purchase the amount of wood he was ordered to, then escort them home. No problem. He found the name of the contractor, said this name aloud so he wouldn't forget, and then packed up the rest of his gear. One more look around the room to make sure nothing was forgotten, and Chiro was off. He left the key at the desk in the lobby and exited onto the streets of Aokusa. 'Time to get to work.' He set off in the direction of the lumber mill, passing by other pedestrians on there way to work as well.

After several minutes of walking, Chiro found what was undoubtedly the Lumber Mill. Large piles of harvested trees were sitting near a group of saws arranged in such a way as to easily de-branch them. Inside the main building, which looked like a refurbished warehouse, the sound of saw blades cutting wood could distinctly be heard. Chiro looked around and found a small building set off from the rest with a sign that read "Office". He headed toward this building, dodging a cart carrying a load of freshly cut 2-by-4's. Upon reaching the door, he knocked twice, then entered. A burly looking man looked up from a desk to Chiro's immediate right with a quizzical look on his face. The Aburame handed this man the order request, then sat in a seat in the far left corner. Chiro enjoyed dealing with men like this. No words were needed, simply gestures and paperwork. The large man took the order through a door behind him, said something which Chiro couldn't hear, then walked back out and returned to whatever it was he had been doing before Chiro entered.

Another, equally large man (but with a large mustache), stepped out from the other room, order form in hand. He looked toward Chiro, noticed the Grass Village headband, then looked back at the order form.

"So, you from Kusagakure? We've had a bunch of orders for lumber from other Grass Ninja as well. You guys doing some heavy construction or what?" He exhaled during this exchange of small talk. His breath smelled heavily of cigar smoke.

"Yeah. Something like that." Chiro said with a tone of annoyance and blatantly ignoring the man's prod for more information. Like he needed to know anyway?

"Well, we got a cart bein' loaded right now, so you can head down there with this order, tell 'em what you need, and they'll make sure it gets done. Leave the payment with Yuri there." The mustached man walked back into the other room as Yuri grunted, although Chiro could surmise who 'Yuri' was without any help. He stood up, pulled out the envelope with the money given to him when he took the mission, and tossed it onto the desk. He walked out of the office and hoped the other workers weren't as talkative as the other guy.

The sun was breaking over the buildings around the city as Chiro walked towards the location explained to him by the head contractor. As he neared the place, he could here a man shouting orders to the workers loading carts. Chiro approached the man yelling orders, again a burly lumberjack of sorts. "Hey, you in charge here?" Chiro asked, pulling out order form and holding it out for the man to see.

"Yeah, whaddya want kid? Can't you see I'm b...Hey! The Eight-by-Ten's go in the other cart!" Clearly this man didn't have time to waste hearing some kid's request. Luckily, Chiro wasn't a kid. He placed the order into the man's hand, and opened his mouth to speak. This is usually why Chiro doesn't like to speak.

"Oi! I'm talkin' to you. I've got an order, and it needs to be filled. Am I going to have to get your boss and explain how he needs to refund Kusagakure's money cause you're too incompetent to do the job you've been assigned?" The words were harsh as they left Chiro's lips, but he didn't care. Just like the other man, he didn't want to waste any more time than necessary. And he wasn't a fucking kid.

"Woah, let's not get hasty. We'll get your order filled, no problem. I'll have Zaz and Yosk take care of it. Hey! Zaz! Yosk! Get yer asses over here and take care of this!" The man took the order he had been "given" by Chiro and handed it to the first of the two men that came jogging up. They nodded apprehension, and grabbed a couple carts to load wood into. The second man, Yosk probably, motioned for Chiro to follow, and together the three went off to gather the required materials.

After about forty-five minutes of loading wood into the carts, the order had been processed, deducted from the inventory, and sent off down the road. Zaz and Yosk pulled the carts while Chiro worked the security detail, as he was ordered. The walk back was very much like the walk there, with many people going to and from their various destinations. The three stopped for a short lunch after about three o'clock, and then continued on.

Luckily for Chiro, the trip back took less time than he had expected, and the wall of Kusagakure soon came into view. Well, he knew the wall was getting closer. The other two men pulling the carts had no idea they were near. Chiro put his hand up, signalling Zaz and Yosk to stop.

"Wait here and don't move." The two nodded as Chiro walked towards the wall, which he knew to be cloaked in Genjutsu. There were probably five Jounin, two of them being ANBU watching him at this very moment. He pressed several of the bricks on the wall in the sequence necessary to reveal the gate into Kusagakure. Once the doorway appeared in front of him, he stepped inside the entrance. He signed his name into the sign-in/sign-out list, and then requested that two Ninja be brought to carry the wood the rest of the way into the village. The jounin in charge of the guard agreed, and two Chuunin were summoned to help.

Chiro walked back out with the two ninja right behind him, and thanked Zaz and Yosk for their help. He walked back with the chuunin back into the Village Hidden in the Grass.
