Upon taking his leave from the Raikage tower, there was but one thing on Hamura's mind: Groceries. With the money he had just earned for a mission well done, he could easily get groceries for the coming months. Before starting with his task of looking over the village through means of patrol, he wanted to make sure that everyone at home was well fed, including himself. Since he'd be on his feet for a day, he had to make sure that there was plenty of fuel in his tank before heading out. Aside from that, the Raikage's assistant had told him to dress up warm as it was not going to be getting any warmer soon. Not being one to waste a warning, it would be one of the things he'd do once he got home.

Once he had finished shopping for groceries, he returned home and prepared a good amount of Donburi for the entire household. Aside from that, he placed the leftovers in four different containers, as well as a fifth for himself as he wanted to take some with him in case he got hungry. Since him getting hungry was not that uncommon, and he would be gone for quite some time, it felt like the right thing to do. Once they had all eaten, he placed the other four containers inside the fridge so they would be able to eat from it whenever they felt like it. If they decided to eat it all too soon, that would be on them, as he had at least made an attempt at keeping them fed.

With that, he went out, wearing his casual clothing as well as a few of his Shinobi additions. For one, he had his Tanto strapped to his upper leg, had his belt with his pouches around his waist and his wrist guards with quick loaders attached covered by his long sleeved jacket. Wearing the jacket because he was told that it'd be getting cold soon, he figured that looking like a civilian would not make people behave differently around him. Aside from that, the fact that he was only ten years old would only contribute to this fact. If anyone was planning something, they'd likely not refrain from doing so with him walking around, which was what he'd be hoping for.

Checking in with the member of the Anbu near the Cinema, he got his routes and started making his move. Seeing as he wanted to get things done in an orderly fashion, he made a few additions to the route based on things he had come to figure out on his own during the time spent in the village. Only adding places that were on his designated route, places he added were locations in which pick pockets had been active, where street violence was not as uncommon as one might hope and the local morgue. Due to a rather personal run-in with a murder that took place there, he figured that it wouldn’t hurt to move by the place a few times. After all, it might help him work on his case.

The first round around the village, which took him little over two hours did not show him a whole lot, though it was taking place during the early morning. Since this was not often the time in which people were going out of their way to plan mischief, or be all that awake, which made the first hours of patrolling both ease and dreadfully dull. Still, it made him rather aware of the fact that his houseguests would likely be waking up around this time, at which point they'd likely go looking in the fridge for the food he had prepared or raid the pantry for any remnants of junk food that might be left. All the while Hamura would just be doing his job, so he hoped they could appreciate it.

And so he just kept going, breaking out his food while on the go. Eating with chopsticks as he worked down the cold Donburi, he would have liked it a lot more if he had been back home and could have eaten it warm. But it had become obvious enough to him that not doing any missions would not bring in any money. This wouldn't have been much of a problem, had he not taken in four deadbeats that brought in nothing of their own. And since he did not want to cut into his savings, which had been stored under a loose plank beneath his bed, it was quite really the only thing he could be doing. Besides, it looked good on his resume and gave him an even better idea of the layout of the village.

It wasn't until the late afternoon, which meant that he was on his fourth or fifth lap around the village, that something finally seemed to have happened. From the look of things, a domestic issue had broken about between a man, a woman and a younger woman. Standing in the middle of the street, a street he had added to his route because he knew the kind of people that lived there, they were busy yelling at one another and basically just causing a massive scene. Had they kept things indoors, Hamura would have figured that the police would become involved when someone sent word of something going on inside one of the residences.

But now that things had escalated into the streets, he felt that it was up to him to do something, even though it was not really a Shinobi's job to do so. Asking what the problem was, they first shunned him for trying to intervene, at which point he pulled out the headband he had been hiding, thus showing that he was a Shinobi of the Hidden Cloud. Changing the atmosphere into a slightly less violent one, they explained that the man had been hired for an interior carpentry job, which he had performed as promised, but had decided that he wanted more money. Since the two women were mother and daughter, the two had formed a united front against the carpenter.

As it was in the middle of the street and he could tell that people had become somewhat bothered by the way things were going, Hamura decided to escort them all to the police station. Figuring that nothing could break out if he was there to keep things contained, it only took him a little while before he arrived and sent the three inside. Figuring that the police would take care of the rest of it, it seemed that his daytime patrol had ended as the sun was going under. Figuring that the next person would soon relieve him for the night shift, Hamura stopped by the Anbu for a little while to inform the masked Shinobi of what had happened, which was basically nothing, before he would head home and write up his full report.
