Kyo felt this task would be simple enough and a good first mission. All that he had to do was find the old man and tell him that he has accepted his challenge. Then when we agree to race he has to beat him and show how fast the ninja of the mist are. At least he hopped he was faster. Kyo had great speed from practicing his clan techniques, mostly from learning some of the 5 main dances. He could only hope this was enough.

He set off right away to look for the man. Kyo checked in all the food places around town, seeing it was around lunch time. He hoped to find the man in one of them. He asked everyone he saw if they had seen the old man or happened to know where he was. No one could seem to give him a correct answer. This was turning out to be a mission in it self. He sat down on a park bench and let out a deep sigh.

This was his first mission and he wasn’t off to a great start. He really didn’t want to fail so he got up and went to search again. Lunch was almost over so Kyo took one last sweep through the town’s restaurants, in search of the man. Half way through he still had no luck, until a restaurant cook said he knew the man Kyo spoke of. Kyo quickly dashed to the counter and ask where the man could be gound.

The restaurant owner thought a bit. He was a slightly heavy man in a white chef’s cloths and apron; all of which had food stains. He said he wasn’t here to long ago and said he was traveling to Mizukage Tower to send out one final challenge to the people of mist. Kyo was delighted to hear this news. He quickly scrambled out the door heading to the tower, shouting thank you over and over again till he was far from the restaurant.

Kyo arrived upon the entrance of the tower just as the man was leaving. Kyo didn’t know who it was but two ANBU appeared, in front of him wondering why anyone would be in such a rush. Kyo was out of breath and breathing heavily for a few seconds. He caught his breath and said” I’ve come to find the man, who says he is the fastest runner alive. I wish to challenge and beat him.”

The man on the other side is sitting there looking at Kyo. He saw kyo was out of breath and tires. The man was in disbelief that anyone would work so hard to find him. He interrupts the ANBU that were questioning Kyo and says. “That person you are looking for is me.” The ANBU didn’t believe Kyo’s story till now. Within a few seconds the ANBU left without another word.

Kyo was still a little tired from his search but confronted the man. “ If it is really you I wash to challenge you to a race. Whoever wins gets the title of the fastest runner alive. “

The man nodded in acceptance and said “you seem to be tired already. I will give you time to rest so you will be at your best and we can have a fair race.”

Kyo thanked the man and asked where he should meet him for the race. The man said “I’ll meet you at 10 tomorrow morning at this restaurant I’ve been going to every day, it’s quite delicious. Do you happen to know which one I’m talking about?”

Kyo figured the restaurant was the same one from earlier and shook his head yes. He followed this with “I know which one you are talking about.”

The man extends his arm to shake Kyo’s and says “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Kyo shakes the mans hand and says “it’s a deal.” The two men part ways and don’t see each other till the next day.

Then next morning Kyo went to the restaurant a half hour early and began to stretch and warm up. The man arrived about 5 min before and did the same thing. He explained to Kyo what the course was going to be. It was about 400 meters give or take. It was all on the same road and there was a man at the end willing to see who came in first. Kyo understood everything he had to do.

The start was straight out from the door of the restaurant. Both of the men put one foot on the line and looked straight ahead. A small crowd, mostly people from the restaurant and on the street, had gathered. The man asked politely if some one would start them for there race. A man walked stopped and said sure.

They both waited as the man said “ready”. Kyo took a deep breath and stepped up to the line. The man screamed set. All the head on the side walked turned to the street. The man said good luck right before the pedestrian said go.

The two of them shot off like bullets leaving the barrel of a gun. They flew down the track, followed by a gust of wind. The man seemed evenly matched with him halfway. Suddenly the man started to pull ahead. Kyo attempted to do the same. Kyo flung his hands back and shot forward. They came to the finish nearly the same time but Kyo was ever so slightly ahead. Kyo had won the race and the title of the fastest runner alive.

The man came over and congratulated him. “nice race, I guess i’m not the fastest after all… This just means I’ll have to train even harder. When and if I come back I’ll challenge you to a re-match.”

Kyo nodded his had and said “you too. I’ll be waiting till then!!!” Kyo had a big smile on his face as he walked away. The man left in the opposite direction carrying all his stuff in a small backpack.
