Name: Going Batty.
Rank: D
IIC Length: 2 Nights.
Difficulty: Easy
Description: All over the village, there has been a recent uprising in bat sightings during sleeping hours. The shinobi must use any skill they have to get rid of as many bats as they can, any way possible (that doesn't damage property). If the shinobi wishes to take a bat in as their own pet, they have the right to do so.
Objective: Knock out some of these bats.
Reward: 1,000 Ryo

As much as Ryu enjoyed wildlife and such, she knew others did not. So in her mind, taking these bats was more of a joy than a nuisance. She loved them anyway. At the moment she was standing in her yard with Atlas.

“Soon, you’re going to have a few roommates, hun.”

She smiled up at him. By a few, she really meant a lot, but he wouldn’t mind. He was just as loving as she was of other creatures. Assuming they didn’t attack him or her. She turned to face the large door that allowed Atlas into his mall abode, and performed some handseals, creating a few small domes upon the walls, hopefully creating a good home for her new friends.

With the domes finished, Atlas’s home was now set for some nocturnal roomies. She finished off the room by making a hole in the wall, so at night the bats would have a cave to fly out of. It was a fine arrangement, since the barn was large, and Atlas slept at night, when the bats would be out doing their night-things. She was satisfied with the arrangement.

After that, it was off to the village. Time to round up some bats.

When she arrived, the sun was just setting, and she stood in the street between some houses. Atlas had remained at home. She didn’t want him scaring the bats away. She stood out in the streets. And oddly, wasn’t sure of exactly how she was even going to complete this task. She put her thining cap on and rubbed her chin. There had to be something.

She smirked. This way she could get a mass amount of them all at once. She reached into her pocket and grabbed a small ball, holding it in her hand as she waited and unzipped her bag. The street lights did a good job illuminating the street, which would help her plan along much better. The dimness of them allowed this plan to succeed however, and soon, a single bat was seen in the air.

She knew what they were here for: bugs. There were thousands of them in the village at night, hovering around the lamp posts and pollinating the flowers. She’d be here too if she was a bat. Regardless, they were annoying the people, and she could only help. Soon, a large gathering of the bats showed up, all of them eating the bugs flying around everywhere.

Timing things perfectly, she lifted her hand and threw down the ball. Suddenly, an incredibly bright light flashed, and all of the bats were stunned, falling to the ground. Fast as she could, Ryu picked them all up and put them in her bag. They were all rather small, a few large ones here and there, and luckily they all fit in the large bag. There were about 50 bats, quite a lot for such a small area here.

She returned home with a wiggling bag and entered Atlas’s barn. She closed all the windows and the bat door, and unzipped the bag. The bats flew out, hiding almost immediately in the small hutches she had made for them, save for one. One large bat clung to her chest, seemingly attached to her. She ran her hand along his back, feeling the oddly soft fur of the bat. She called him Cujo, but training with him to be a companion would have to come later. For now, he was simply a pet.

[♥♥ryu♥♥]

The following night, she had run out of hikari to use for this purpose, and had not had the time to buy more. It was craft time. She had a large fishing net that she had bought when she wanted to catch a tiger years ago, and had never used. It was weighted and large, with small enough holes that a bat couldn’t squeeze through. It was useful. She had also gotten a bug zapper a while ago and never cleaned it out, and now, those bugs would be put to good cause.

Bugs were secured into a bag, and the net draped over her shoulder, and she was off to save more bats. The area this time was smaller, and apparently less batfilled, but it was as good a place as any. She got there at the same time as the night before, just as dark was setting in, and waited. It was a bit less lit here, but no matter, she’d catch some anyway.

She threw the bugs on the ground, and suddenly around 25 bats dropped from the sky to eat them up. That was when she pounced. She threw the net over them. Caught unawares, the bats began flapping around trying to escape. She felt a bit guilty, but knew they would like their new home. Her garden was full of bugs at night, and they’d be fine eating there.

She had prepared a lot for their coming, planting plants that attracted more bugs, and sacrificing her comfort for a while to let the bugs live. She even threw out her bug zapper. She had also installed several lights to attract more bugs. She did all this with the knowing that soon the bats would rid her of her bug problems.

When she returned home, she released the bats into their home once more, and that bat returned to her chest, clinging to her as if she were his mother. She coddled him and names him Cujo, sticking him into her pocket and returning to her own home. Once inside, she took him from her pocket and stuck him in the tree in her living room, which he happily clung to and fell asleep in, upside down of course.

She smiled and headed to bed, the sounds of bugs dying outside quite satisfying. A job well done, if she didn’t say so herself.

Objective: Perform the list of chores given to you. These could include planting flowers, picking trash, repairing fences.
Reward: 600

Another beautiful day in Kusa, and the genin was again out for another mission. This time she wanted to do more of the beautification she had done last time. That had been enjoyable.

For now she decided to install window boxes down the streets of the main village. There were a lot of windows, but with Atlas here, this should be easy. For boxes, she chose a natural look, chopping up some fallen trees and hollowing them out into half-log planters. With the use of the wood release, she grew roots from them to have them cling to the walls of the buildings. The roots gave a pretty effect in the background, spraying out along the walls at varying lengths.

This took a long time, as there were often several floors of windows, and Atlas was working as her stand to reach them. She had bagged the log pieces in a bag on his back, and every window he had to reach in and grab a new one. When a single wall was done, they stood back and admired. She quite liked the look, and was impressed at her creativity. She’d have to do this at home. They continued with adding the planters to the windows down the main streets, and when that was done, they took a break to go flower shopping.

Although Ryu loved mammoth sunflowers, they weren’t conducive to window boxes, so she chose sunflowers of the miniature variety. They were more expensive, but totally worth it. She also bought some planting soil to put them in, some grass seeds, and some plant food. Each window box got three sunflowers and a small bag of soil. The work was tedious.

Each window box, she would open the bag and lay two inches of soil, and a light layer of plant food, two more inches of soil and some plant food, and so on until she had filled the box. The flowers were then placed evenly apart in their own holes, and surrounded by grass seeds. The grass would make the boxes seem more natural. In some of the planters, she placed an ivy plant, which she had bought a few of, and eventually, the ivy would fall over the side and grow on the walls and create a generally pretty atmosphere.

When she had finished each box, she sprayed them all with water and left to go turn in her work for the day at the missions office.

A few days later, she returned to view her work, and the grass had begun to sprout, and the flowers looked happy. She was satisfied and glad that it worked out like she wanted, and she hoped everyone else enjoyed it too.

Once more, the female was out makine the village pretty again. This time she just wanted to make things look nicer, rather than adding new things. She want around cleaning up walls with soap and water. The walls were particularly icky, as it had recently rained and mud had been splattered all over. She cleaned it all off in a hose-like manner and also watered the plants around while she did that.

Next she moved on to fences. She repaired what was broken or rotten with her own wood jutsu, and whitewashed them all so they all looked sparkly and new. Soon the place was looking better even with just a little fixing up. She rearranged benches to be symmetrical in the square, and refilled the bird baths.

She picked up trash and emptied the trash cans, making it smell better. With what she was doing, the place looked very pretty and manicured, and only one person had been doing anything. It took her all day, but if the whole village did this it would take no time. The village could look this nice all the time if everyone just did their part.
