"Why did i have to pick such a lousy mission",Maisho thought as he had been looking around for the snake for hours. He had left the Otokage's Tower in a hurry to start looking for the snake but has had no luck in finding it. "Well this bites,maybe i should go ask around the village". And so he left the forest and asked the very nervous mothers of the Sound Village if they have remembered seeing or hearing about the snake. Most of the women had heard that it has attacked during the late afternoon,and that it usually retreated to the forest before anyone could have stopped it. He tried asking the children...but that was about as helpful as asking children to talk about a vicious animal that attacked them.

Maisho decided he might as well go look for the snake in the forest to the north of the village because that was where the majority of the attacks were happening.He went venturing in the forest he had found many holes which could have been made from the snakes,and they were usually about 20 feet apart meaning that he was where the snake was staying.The fact that the boa was a green doesn't help Maisho at all.It would appear that Maisho would be put on guard duty for the night.

Maisho keeping watch of the entire village the entire night.He went dashing from on building top to another hoping to hear the slightest cry for help.Other then "persuading" a few late-night robbers from going about their lives,it was all quiet.When the sun finally peaked its way to sight Maisho ran(or atleast tried)to his house to lay his weary head on his soft pillow if even for only a short while.

When Maisho was fully rested the next morning,he was off again to look for his little slithering friend.It wasn't till about 3 or 4 in the afternoon(Just 2 hours from when Maisho woke up)that he heard a loud shriek in the north-east part of town.Maisho rushed to the scene to find a mother scared out of her wits,and a small child crying with all his might.He proceed to ask the mom what was the matter,when out of the corner of his eye Maisho saw the grass start shifting side-by-side into a thick bush.

Maisho knew he had finally found his long-awaited rival.He threw 2 of his shurikens from his pouch to the bush.He had missed the snake,who was now trying to retreat even further in the nearby foliage.Maisho quickly threw a kunai right in front of the large boa to try and stop it.The kunai almost hit the snake right in the its Fist sized head.Maishos plan had worked,the boa was movements were halted for a moment.Maisho pushed the boy and gave him to his mother in a matter of seconds."Go inside and cover your ears".

Maisho swiftly pulled out one of his exploding tags from his pouch.He quickly instilled it with chakra and threw it to the fleeing boa.It took a good hour to clean up the boa soup that was splattered upon the house.Maisho would know,because he was the one assigned to the grotesque task."Not one of my better ideas"he chuckled as he finished cleaning the side of the house,and disposing of the animals remains.It was getting dark out.Maisho decided to make a quick stop at the otokage's tower and report them about the mission.

Maisho,after being shot down to reclaim his mission reward money deciede to go off and train some new techniques.

The first was:Cloak of Fears ??/10
Rank: "D"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: User uses the technique upon themselves to make themselves seem more threatening and imposing to others.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: After performing the handseals the user is capable of performing a technique in which makes those who see the user, or the target the user wishes is suddenly enshrouded with shifting, shadowy energies that make them appear more threatening, and imposing to others. The design looks fearful, and intimidating as the shifting, shadowy energies seem to look somewhat alive. This technique lasts as long as the user wishes, or normally the amount of ten rounds.
Limit: Must know Pattern Perception of GenJutsus

He thought what better way to get the minds of people then from the outside. So there he went,not Maisho but MesMeriZe,or his other persona. Maisho is the quiet clumsy normal ninja who strives to be a great genjutsu master. MesMeriZe is a amazing ninja with perfect genjutsu abilities. He is never wrong and he has not ever faltered. He is suave and masculine where Maisho was weak and awkward. But anyways this was MesMeriZe's training now. He would surely not make even the slightest mistake.

MesMeriZe was going to practice a new technique today where he would make the handseals an make either himself or his target and especially intimidating and scary person with the energies of darkness shrouding him in a basking shower of evil. He first got an especcially dark image of himself in his mind.He would have pale skin,a good foot taller,bulkier slightly hunched over. He would have two especially sharp fangs protruding out from his mouth. His cloak would turn into a cape as black as the night sky. He was ready.

MesMeriZe would now focus his chakra to start flowing around him. He could feel the darkness of the jutsu around him. Even though to MesMeriZe he had appeared unchanged atall,he knew the Jutsu was inplace. Now it was time to see if it was working.

Maisho went out into the darkness trying to see if he could frighten some inocent by-standers. While Maisho wouldn't go out and purposely harm the village,MesMeriZe knew that in the long run this could save the village from a few ninjas,so at the cost of scaring a few people in the village he could possible help save the lives of a few.

So there MesMeriZe was,skulking the streets,trying to find some poor fool who had been out of the comfort of his/her home. Then while scoping out the streets atop an especcially high building,he foudn his first victim. He was a tall and slender man. Probaly out drinking and trying to find his way home. It was a perfect oppurtunity.

So he stepped down onto the street as to confront the man. MesMeriZe went walking down the street headed for the man. He had to walk a little closer then usaul seeing how the stranger was out drinking. Whe MesMeriZe was about 5 feet away from the man,he just stopped.

A shiver ran up the mans spine as he just stopped and stared at the frightening figure that was about to pass him. The man just stood there and started looking in many diffrent directions in the hopes of making of not starting any conflict with Mesmerize. Mesmerize decied he should do atleast one good thing tonight and so he stopped infront of the man. He could tell that he was starting to get nervous for the man had stared darting his eyes in man diffrent places and started whistlening out-of-tune. Mesmerize had let out in his altered voice(which he altered to make himself appear even more frightening). "You better start taking it easy on the drinks there"."I don't want to see any trouble from you any time soon,you hear me". "If i found you out late again,you better pray the thought of mercy even comes to my head,Understood"?

The man was scared out of his mind. His sweat was drowing small animals. He was on the verge of tears. He just barely let out a small yelp,which he took as a "Yes". The man then proceed to sprint away from him,tripping himself and then picking himself up although rather dazed from his fall,but again proceeded to run from Mesmerize."There",he thought "Atleast i did some good".

Lithe form clad in a dark black silk Kimono, Yondaime Otokage would make her way through the dirt streets of the village. Her keen ears were on the look out for the boy who had come into the Tea House earlier, seeking his reward yet his impatients had almost cost him his Ryo. Dark eyes gazed from building to building as she sought him, however one thing would reveal his location, or rather at least peak her interests. A man would come running down the road, panting and yelping as if he was in some sort of distress. "Oh my.." she said gentle to herself with an evil smile as she rounded the corner to find the young Oto Genin.

"Not getting into trouble out here I presume?" she asked with a smile plastered on her face. Her eyes would travel up and down Maisho's form, appraising him slowly. He seemed to be like the average new Genin from the academy, at least he was out here practicing unlike some of the others of this village. "You almost forgot this, Maisho-kun~" she spoke again suddenly, tossing a small bag of Ryo in his direction. A soft giggle left her lips as she realized she'd attached an honorific to his name, only doing so to build up the false image that she was kind. "Next time you'll want to exercise some patients too hm?"

Removing a small fan from her pocket, she'd flip it open with a simple wrist motion and hold it before her face, covering the lower half. The heat today was stifling, it irritated her to no end. "So hot today, I wonder when we'll see rain or snow next." she spoke in a tone that easily showed her annoyance. "If you seek anything more exciting then chasing snakes, let me know." she added before turning. If he had anything interesting to say, perhaps she'd stay and chit chat.

Paid.

[marzbar]

Mesmerize was just speechless. He could not belive that the Otokage would have gone to the trouble of actually chasing him down just to give him the bag. He didn't know if he should have been grateful,or embarrased. "Well...atleast she doesn't think im a totally idiot".And with that he undid the jutsu and went off to bed.
