Mist Moving Crew [Mission, Team 5 + Ritsuzen)

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Twas the afternoon of the next day and Hibari Takuya was inside the village towards the entrance. Today they'd be taking on their first and second missions as Team 5. They'd been hired by Kirigakure's locals to bring some items from their homes that were left in the village when they evacuated. Kirigakure itself would be going under some massive changes over the next bit and it felt good to know that these missions were the first step. Of course it also felt good to know that he would be leading a team, something the man always dreamed about. Hopefully they wouldn't be late otherwise he'd have to discipline them.

[hirohideoki]

"Where is sensei...." He walked around almost the the entrance of the village. It had been closed off, but he had acess due to the mission. He walked along the path looking around for his sensei and the others. 'Nothing...' Hiro leaned against the entrance and looked around. He could tell that it was the afternoon and the mission would be starting soon. He looked up and then looked around behind him to see if anyone was coming up the road towards him. Nothing...

Finally he moved on into the entrance and a little ways down the road. Somebody could be seen in the distance, it was his sensei. Hiro picked up his pace to meet him. It appeared that he would be the first to arrive.

"Hello sensei..." He casually walked up beside the man and waited.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

"Ah hello Hiro-kun, prepared for our first mission as Team 5?" He questioned the young man with a smile. He'd been the first one to show up for the mission, now they'd be waiting for the two brothers; Rei and Renji. Takuya thought it was interesting that Kensai had named them both with names that started with R. Not that he was in control of his daughter's name at birth. Alas that was a deep dark story that he didn't want to recollect. Instead he'd briefly review the missions in question.

"Today we're going to be acting as movers for the villagers. I'll explain in more detail once we've fully assembled the team. You should take a good look around though. In time Kirigakure no Sato as you know it, will be no more. If you guys are to reclaim this village as your home then you'll need to work hard and make it your own."

He had a slight smirk on his face, with the night to sleep on things, he could remotely see where the council was going with their actions. Many were returning home from long travels, ready to embrace their village and seek the strength they needed to protect it.

[Renji Souka]

[Enter Renji]

Renji walked along with Rei along the road near the entrance to the village, Renji was falling a bit behind. As he forced himself along, he seemed almost in a trance as he dragged his feet, his eyes half closed. the only part that seemed out of place was his huge sword strapped to his back.

As they got to the gate, they noticed Hiro running down the road towards the village, and he seemed in a hurry, but rather then call out to him or hurry along, Renji just yawned and kept walking along his his trace like state following right behind Rei. After a few minutes they had turned down the road and could see what it was that Hiro seemed to be running to in such a hurry, it was Takuya, and now Hiro was standing near him. Renji made no attempt to pick up the pace at all.

A few minutes later he made his way up to where Hiro and Takuya where waiting for him and Rei, Rei had made it there about a minutes before Renji, at his slow pace they were lucky he made it there at all, it almost seemed he might fall asleep mid step, or that he might already be, and he was sleep walking. As he got there he made a half assed wave as he yawned, and waited to hear what this mission was about, so he could start complaining about how he had to get out of bed to waste his time doing it.

[niroku]

[Enter Rei]

Rei walked along, Renji following slowly behind him. Rei had a book out and was reading it, as they walked along. Rei noticed Hiro first as he seemed to be running down the path heading from the gate towards the village. He glanced back to Renji "Theres that Hiro boy... he seems to be running for something. Should we hurry to see what is up?" and all he got out of renji was a yawn. "Ok then we take our time, but do hurry up, i wont be punished for being late cause of you." At this Rei turned back to his book and continued walking along.

As he got to the gate he changed his direction and started walking down the path towards the village, where he had seen Hiro running down just a few minutes before. He glance back to make sure Renji was following and didn't just keep walking straight off the path and into the forest, after he was sure that Renji was following him he went back to his book.

After a few minutes Rei had made his way up to where Hiro and Takuya were waiting. Rei put his book down and then put it away. He then made a slight bow to Takuya "Hello sensei" he said, then as he came up, he glanced to Hiro and gave a slight nod. "I am sorry for Renji sensei... he is quite the underachiver... He will be here in a minute or so." He then Turned and waited for Renji who strolled up about a minute later and gave a half assed wave and yawn, Rei just rolled his eyes, then turned back to Takuya "now sensei WE are here..."

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

"Ah, good to see you boys... erm Renji did you not get enough sleep?" He shook his head already getting a feeling that things would turn out to be... amusing; to say the least. With the three boys gathered it was time to properly debrief them on the mission. He pulled out the mission papers and would begin to read off the necessary info.

"It's a simple job, should put some money back into your pockets, maybe I'll even treat you guys to some ramen if things go smoothly." He added after he finished his explanations. Though it might not go so smooth if Renji was falling asleep on the job. According to what his brother claimed, Renji was an underachiever. He couldn't help but wonder why such was the case and if there was anything that he could do to inspire the boy? Maybe starting with ramen would help...

Arms crossed and eyes open he listened. He looked around the village and it was not like it used to be at all. He listened to everything his sensei had to say. He was ready to start the mission. He looked at the other two for a quick second, just to see if they were as ready as he was. 'Hmmm... sounds good.' He thought to himself as he still looked around.

"When and where do we start then?" He said anxiously. He cracked his fingers and sat his puppet down beside him and waited for further orders.

[Renji Souka]

Renji just yawned as Takuya asked him about getting sleep. It wasn't that he didn't get enough sleep par say but then again he could sleep all day every day. Plus he didn't speak cause he knew Rei would have some answer for him.

Renji just gave a half nod, as he just stood there taking in what he could of what Takuya was saying about the mission. After he was done giving the details Renji yawned and then stretched. He then looked at Takuya and gave a a half smile "Lets go get this over with..." he mumbled. He then swayed a bit like he might fall over.

At the mention of Ramen, Renji just gave a quick half smile as his eyes rolled back and he swayed a bit more. Free food was nice but it wasn't the way to get renji to jump up. But now that the formalities where over he just waited for this mission to start, cause he knew the sooner it started the sooner he could get home and sleep.

[niroku]

Rei stood there and shook his head as he watched renji, then much like Renji had guessed rei did have an answer to Takuya's comment about sleep "Ohh he got plenty of sleep sensei, but then again he could sleep for 22 of the 24 hours in a day and he would still be like this..." he said as he rolled his eyes knowing just how truthful his statement was. He Then turned back to Takuya as he listened to the mission info he had to give.

Rei scuffed at the mention of things going smoothly "things go smoothly?...with renji thats almost impossible...I would know..." said Rei and he rolled his eyes. Renji just smirked and shrugged his shoulders, cause he knew it was right. Rei then took a moment to gather himself in his head then looked at Takuya "I am ready sensei." he then glanced at Renji "and he is about as ready as he will ever be..."

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Mixed reactions about the mission at hand, to say the least. Hiro was excited, Rei was ready, and Renji... just wanted to get it over with. He'd really need to work on Renji for the next little while, somehow... some way. "Alright then, we'll start by dividing out the tasks. Hiro-kun will bring back the portable cooker, Renji you've got the bowls, and Rei you've got the ingredients. Once we've done that, we'll start up with the next moving assignment." Takuya instructed. The key aspect of this mission was to make sure that they got these articles to the base discreetly. Travelling back and forth between the village and the base needed to be kept on the down-low, so to speak.

"Oh and don't forget to watch your steps as you return back, the base is a top secret location." With that, he pointed to the ramen stand to the east side of the village. Since this was a rather easy mission, he'd instead take the observer approach and see how they handle themselves.

[ritsuzen]

Ritsuzen was looking at his suit and saw that it got too dirty from his traveling and needed a quick change. He wondered if Satsuki got most of their things out before leaving. She was a very alert and smart woman and would have known not to take anything that she didn’t need. “Great that means everything is still at the house.” Ritsuzen said out loud not caring if Daisuke heard.

Ritsuzen looked around the village and the silence of the village was something that he wasn’t use to in the village but he liked this strange silent. He loved things being quiet for most of his life all he was in was a silence that he wished didn’t break at all. Ritsuzen looked down at the ground as he quickly shut off all his memories of his life before Satsuki and the Mist village.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Daisuke was quiet and remained thoughtful while heading towards Ritsuzen's home. Considering the circumstances, was it possible they'd even be able to come back here? Thoughts like these were on the jounin's mind. It wasn't up to him, that he could be sure. No... it was up to the young ones. A quick glance to his side, he heard Ritsuzen mention someone not taking important stuff from his home. He raised an eyebrow, his thought train broken.

"Looks like you've got a bit of moving ahead of yourself Ritsu-chan. Though a lot of genin and chuunin are going around the village doing moving jobs, it's a quick buck. Maybe we can find some to help you out a bit. A lot of the good rooms around the base are steadily being taken you know." the last part he added in a teasing voice, Daisuke seemed to have fun talking with his new student or did he have fun teasing his new student. No matter, he'd get his chance to see the young girl erm man's home, something a sensei usually had to wait to see.

[Renji Souka]

Renji gave a half assed nod as Takuya explained what each person was supposed to gather to bring back as part of the mission. Renji heard he was grabbing bowls and thought to himself *Bowls???... i woke up to get some bowls?? whats the hell?? i should have stayed in bed....* as he thought this to himself his head just kind of fell and he shook it from side to side slowly. He then looked up and for the first time since he got there opened his eyes fully open, it was only for a moment but they were fully open "Ok, bowls...got it, lets get this over with" he said as he just started to move not really waiting for anyone else to make the first move, he already knew he was going to be moving slower then the rest of them so this little head start might not make it look like he was moving so slow, and might avoid him getting yelled at for being lazy.

As he walked along dragging his feet, he knew this was going to be a pain in his butt.

[niroku]

Rei listened as Takuya explained each of their parts in the mission. Rei was to get the ingredients to bring them back. This wasn't much of a mission, but it was easy and would put some money in their pockets so it wasn't that bad. Rei already had an idea of what was going through Renji's mind. Rei watched as Renji was already walking off, he was fine letting Renji go now, he knew Renji would just drag his feet, so he and Hiro who seemed ready to do this would catch up pretty quick.

[hirohideoki]

'I get the portable cooker, eh?' He thought to himself and was already thinking of a way to get it without using very much work. He thought for a few seconds and came up with an idea. He walked toward the east part of the village and could already see the sign for the shop. He pulled Tenshi down again and controlled him with one hand. His puppet walked beside him and mirrored his every move.

He was close now and he could see the entrance the others were close around him. He finally reached the stand and walked in. He looked around and saw what he needed to bring back. He walked over to it and looked it over. It was not small at all and appeared to be quite heavy.

He waited for the others to join him inside the shop as he thought. He already knew he and Tenshi would have to lift this together and bring it back. It was good to be a puppeteer. He turned and waited for the others to enter.

[hirohideoki]

[Im going to proceed.]

Hiro thought and wanted to hurry up and do his part of the mission. He looked outside and there was no sign of the others. He shrugged and moved Tenshi to one side of the portable cooker and he picked up on the other. Work force was now divided between the puppet and Hiro, which made this task a lot easier.

This cooker was a lot easier to carry now. He made his way through the stand and around the counter and out the door. The others would need to catch up. He was making his way back to the entrance where their sensei was. He would wait to see if he wanted Hiro to report back to the base or wait for the others to complete the mission as well.

He hummmed and walked casually to the entrance of the village. This mission, for him, was easy. It was good to be a puppeteer. A lifeless companion, a friend just like yourself. He saw the entrance ahead and reported back to the sensei.

"Should I report back to base or wait for the others?" He said with his usual wide grin. It was a good ways back to the base and would feel longer from the item they were carrying, but he was sure that he could make it there with the puppets help. He waited for orders.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

OOC: I'll be making a thread that you guys can use to travel on route to the base, due to the current gate being occupied for the event and all.

"Good thinking Hiro-kun, report back to the base through the alternative entrance." He'd point to the far noth of the village, a secret passage was used as a means for escape should something arise. "Boys, lets pick up the pace! Hiro-kun is already ahead of you!" Takuya called out. Admittedly, he was concerned with what was happening at the gates as he caught wind of the signal. Fortunately their ANBU would deal with the situation. His task was to make sure the genin were alright and able to finish the mission.

[hirohideoki]

He looked to wear his sensei was pointing and moved off into the direction. He looked back at the gates and something was going on. He did not stop to investigate, but he continued on to look for the secret entrance that routed him to the base. He picked up his pace and Tenshi was moving right along side him. He had to finish the mission with vigor and time to spare. He looked for the entrance now.

He was far north of the village. He remembered his way around this place and looked for the secret entrance. He never saw the place where he was supposed to enter, he never even heard of it. He looked around moving shrubs and looking behind buildings. He walked up stair to a balcony and peered out. Nothing. He couldn't just jump out or the cooker would be destroyed. He scanned and turned back and looked to the south.

A collasal figure could be seen from this high, far off in the mist. He did not want to meet the likes of the creature and hurried. It looked like it was beyond the gates of the village so it was better to look for the entrance than go through the gates. He moved down the stairs and up against the wall.

"It has to be somewhere..." He scanned and looked around to see if he was missing something.

[niroku]

Rei made his way to the ramen shop taking his time as he looked around and checked around for anything out of the ordinary. About halfway there he saw Hiro coming out with the cooker and heading back that way, Rei assumed he was going to ask Takuya how he wanted them to get back and forth. He picked up the pace and ran to the shop, he wanted to hurry up and get this done as well. As he got there, he walked in and looked around, picking u the spices as he went along until he had them all and then he walked out and took off to meet up with Takuya and see how he wanted them to head back to the village.

As he got back to Takuya he stopped for a moment, as he looked back to where they had come at the village gates, and he noticed the large figure then he looked at Takuya and without even looking anywhere but at Takuya he called out over his shoulder "RENJI!!!... hurry up!!!..NOW!!"

Renji called out back to Rei "Why am i hurrying again?"

Rei yelled back over his shoulder while still looking at Takuya "Thats why you fool!" as he pointed at the area where the gates where. Rei continued to stand there looking at Takuya waiting for instructions, as he pointed at the area near the gate so Renji knew where to look.

[Renji Souka]

Renji slowly dragging his feet as he went down the wrong road and then another wrong road as he slowly made his way to about where the ramen shop was. After a little bit he was staring at the front of the shop, he assumed that Hiro and Rei had already been in and out by this time, since he was being really slow. He walked inside and and gathered the bowls one by one then stacked them and walked out with the bowls in hand.

Right about this time he heard Rei calling out to him to hurry. As he yawned abit he yelled back "Why am i hurrying again?" Renji didn't make out what Rei said, but he did catch the part where he called him a fool, as he went to yell something back at Rei, but he looked up and saw in the distance that Rei was pointing at something in the direction of the gate. Renji slowly turned his head towards the gate area to start to make out a large figure "What the F*@%?!?! all i wanted to do was sleep, but nooooo, i was dragged out her to do a silly mission, and now this, this is bull!" he said out loud, he was loud but not sure he said it loud enough for Rei and Takuya to hear. "Do we have to fight that....what ever IT is??" he yelled out loud to them, this time so they could hear him loud and clear.
