Temporary Employment [Mission]

[Matsu]

It seemed I was getting all sorts of odd jobs now from rounding up cats all the way to working in resturants. While I could not see what this had to do with any of the skills I trained long and hard for, I'd suck up my pride and do my job anyhow. Entering the small shop I would smile as I waved at the owner. He would peer at me nervously, I had not noticed the kind of resturant it was that I had walked into for my work. "You the Kusa Shinobi then? Bah don't answer that I can see it. Put on this apron and go take some orders!" he'd shout at me over the sounds of a chopping knife. Blinking I would put on the apron, still oblivious to what it was I had walked into. Grabbing a notepad I would step out into the dinning room and smile, it was time to get to work. "Yosh!" I would shout into the air as the nearby patrons chuckled at my excitement.

Moving with a focused determination I would sweep on over to my first table and grin brightly. "Evening folks, what can I get for you?" I would ask in a slow, considerate tone. Often I spoke too fast and people were caught off guard. The people at the table would look at me awkwardly for a moment. The man opened his mouth, probably to comment at what I had not yet realized however his wife shushed him before he could speak. "We'll take the Yellow Tail.." she'd speak in a soft tone, obviously afraid to upset the sharkman. "Hai! And to drink, water or tea?" I'd ask with a distracted tone as I wrote the order upon the pad of paper. "Tea." they'd all respond in unison as I grinned and nodded. "I'll be right out with that then." I stated as I turned to head to my next set of tables.

The next table was not as fast as the first. "We'll need a moment.." they said as I scratched my chin. "Alright then, I'll be right back." I said with a nod as I turned and went to get the first table Tea. Placing the pot and cups upon a small tray, I would carefully make my way towards their table with the grin upon my face. "Here is your tea, the rest will be here shortly." I said with a nod as I moved off to another table. The resturant was bustling so I had to gogogo. "We'll have the grilled Salmon and she'll take shrimp." the woman stated as she motioned to her small child. Nodding I would write this all down, what was people ordering all of the.. FISH!? It was then that it truly struck me, I was working in a seafood resturant.. they were eating part of what I was. My eye twitching slightly I'd slump my head and go on to the next table.

The next two tables would finally be able to decide upon what they wanted, I sighed in relief as I quickly took their orders with diligence. With a mighty grin I was off like a shot to the kitchen, I had alot of stuff to get out to the dinning floor. Gathering the plates onto a massive tray, my powerful muscles would easily carry the weight that each item presented, perhaps this mission was ideal for me after all. To each table I'd go, running down the list of orders in the order I had written them which in the long run saved me alot of confusion. I was like a super waiter, however the owner was not complaining. He gawked on in awe, not even his best waitresses were this efficient and this was my first time ever doing this. It was mostly just my shinobi training that made me ideal for this. Attention to detail and my immense physical stamina combined with my raw determination. "Keep up the good work Sharkboy!"

The last table of the day, I was grinning from ear to ear by this time. Moving over swiftly, I could not figure out why I was chuckling so much. "Afternoon folks, what can I do ya for?" I asked with a wide smirk as I flipped open the notepad and placed the pen against the paper. "We'll just take the special and tea. We're in a rush." they'd state with a nod as they shuffled through papers and talked animately between themselves. With a nod I would shoot off towards the kitchen quickly, filling their order as fast as I could. I knew what that meant when they said they were in a hurry, I myself had to hurry up or else I'd never make it for the exams in time. Piling the orders onto the tray I would move off like a shot towards the dinning floor. "That was.." he would begin however I would cut him off before he could speak. "Yeah, Im also in a hurry to get off work.." I said with a chuckle.

After exchanging words with the owner, he would nod and wave at me as he shoo'd me out of the door. "You handled the lunch rush well! I'd love to have you back sometime!" he'd shout after me as I grinned and waved over my shoulder at him. Channelling the chakra to my feet I would take off towards the Kage Mansion. Another mission completed, I only had to get two more out of the way and I was home free. I could feel the excitement building within my chest, I was possibly going to get a shot at the Chuunin exams, hopefully I'd have what it took to make it a decent portion in.
