Mission Start!

[Saiyuki]

Every time that Akira picked a mission, it was always by random. He merely glanced at the ranks of the mission and picked the ones that he could do. And this time, it seemed like he had picked the same mission again. And that was to deliver mail again. However, Akira did not mind doing such a thing. If he were not in such a good mood, then he would have been clearly annoyed at doing the same mission again. However, something told the young Kaishin that this time around, the mission would be a little different than last time. After exiting the Amekage’s Tower, Akira headed for the mail office. But after several steps, he thought he should warm up a bit. After all, he knew what kind of mission this would be and what he was going to do. So he might as well prepare for it now. He stretched out his legs and then walked as he stretched out his arms. After doing so, he then picked the pace and sped towards the mail office, where he saw a rather interesting sight.

There were quite a bit of people outside of the mail office, banging on the door. Akira had no idea what was happening, but he thought it would be wise not to try to see what the matter was by asking the people who seemed to be in full on riot mode. Akira then silently leapt up to the window, unseen by the people raging beneath him. Once inside, he asked about why everyone was outside the office. He was told that they wanted the mail not to be delivered to where they were supposed to be. However, everything had been paid for and done, so there was no reversal. But the crowd outside wanted to take back their mail. In reality, some of them just wanted some mail not to be sent at all, or wanted what was in the mail for themselves. As a full time shinobi, the mail-nins there dumped the two bags on Akira and told him to go do his work without getting killed. After all, while Akira could not harm the people, they could certainly harm him. And so, with more people outside, he could not escape unseen.

The chase begins...

“Hey, he’s got the mail!”

And with that single sentence, the horde of people started going for Akira. The young Kaishin stood there proudly for a moment while people tried to climb up to him. Then he simply disappeared. The villagers were stunned by this, but then a voice called out, pointing out that Akira was already well on his way to delivering the mail. Whether it was due to their unity or because this was a shinobi village, plans were quickly formulated and then carried out within seconds. Akira was glad that he lived in such a village, though it was going against him at the moment. They were smart to separate out and try to surround Akira. After all, the young Kaishin could not keep going straight. But he did deliver quite a bit of mail by doing so. With his Sonar technique, he could detect many people making preparations at a distance from him. Then, it began. With one single turn, Akira came face to face with a great many people ambushing him and jumping down on him. With a string of hand seals, all they did was slide off a semi circular barrier. Then, Akira leapt up onto the rooftops, where he thought it would be better while delivering some more mail.

But that was a bad mistake. The rooftop collapsed and hands pulled the young Kaishin down beneath the roof. Just when it looked all over, the people holding onto Akira suddenly withdrew their hands, with their fingertips frozen. Then Akira leapt out of that tricky situation and kept going. He only used solid platforms as places for him to jump off of. People threw projectiles at him from pretty much everywhere. However, with his training, he could easily dodge every one of those while still delivering the mail without fail. Before long, he was finished with one sack of mail and used it to cover the faces of some people blocking his way before leaping over them. Then right before him, a great many objects fell from the sky, building up into a rather large wall blocking his way. The observers cheered as they thought they had cornered the mail-nin, but a sudden burst of wind from the young Kaishin’s blade served to remedy that. He laughed as his technique cut through the wall, giving him an opening for him to dash through.

It’s going to take a lot more than that to get me, my fellow villagers.

Akira was having more fun than ever doing this mission. And it seemed that the people’s emotions from trying to get the mail changed. As he smiled while delivering the mail and dodging their attempts at the same, their feelings started to morph into something different. It became more like a game now, something that everybody could join in at and have some fun. But the intensity did not die down. Akira still had a lot to deal with as he delivered the mail. Luckily, the amount of mail he had to deliver was decreasing as time went on. However, unfortunately, that did not give him much room to deal with, as the villagers could somehow tell where he had to deliver his mail and were focused in those specific areas. And since Akira could not harm them, getting the remaining mail delivered would prove to be quite difficult. Moreover, he was still being chased by people who seemed to have an endless amount of stamina for normal civilians.

There’s no other choice.

Akira then started performing hand seals. There was nothing else he could do now. A fine, dense mist started to cover the area where Akira was, hiding him from sight. It also had the added effect of stopping the villagers from seeing each other. This made it hard for them to correctly correlate their actions. Additionally, the people guarding the remaining addresses were also thrown into confusion, now unsure of what to do. Using a simple transformation technique, Akira disguised himself and then easily went through their defenses, delivering the remaining mail. Then, as he finished with the last house, he jumped up onto a roof and dispelled the mist. Then he yelled out that he was finished, his victory cry, something he could not help shouting, before disappearing, off to the Amekage’s Tower to finish his last mission, a smile dancing on his lips as he dashed through the rooftops.

Mission End!
