Name: Gate Duty
Rank: D
IIC Length: 2 days

Description: To simply put it, we are putting our Genin[or any willing] to work. This will be a great practice test for those fresh out of the Academy, for you will be given the position to hold a point and secure it for two days. This is to make sure you can watch out for intruders, and keep traffic under control. This is a easy task, however, you will be provided with two ANBU who already hold the gate to some degree. It is but training, but paid training at that.
Objective: Keep the gate secured for more than two days. Write a decent amount for each day. The more descriptive, and the better written your mission is, the less chances of encountering any NPC troublemakers [played by either myself, or a Staff]
Reward: 1500 Ryo [500 Ryo per tango killed, 700 Ryo per pc tango killed]

It was a nice and clear morning outside today in kirigakure. It was a bit off since usually the place is filled with hanging mists. The normal mists were surely to return later throughout the day. The mists always show up even on seemingly clear days. A boy walked up the large gates of the mist. The boy had light blue skin and his hair also had a blue tint. A member of the hoshigaki clan left him being part shark. He was a genin of the village.

Today the boy wanted to start out a mission to get some experience. Earlier he was assigned the mission of gate duty. His amber irises darted to the gates. His circular eyes showed that he was a bit nervous. He was sure he’d do fine. It was just meeting new people wasn’t the easiest for him. Tsuyu went up to a gate guard.”Ex-excuse me. I’m a genin that was assigned to gate duty.” he explained. The guard immediately understood. Telling Tsuyu the hoshigaki boy what the duties of being on gate duty is.

Tsuyu was to only allow people into the village if they were on official business or if they were mist ninjas returning back to the village. Entrance to the village of people who looked suspicious or were not on official business with the village The only time he was to use force was when people tried to force their way into the village or sneak inside the village. He was supposed to report things first however if he sees a spotting of anybody trying to sneak in.

Tsuyu stood out at the gates to start his duty. He had to do the gate duty for two days so starting in the morning was a good way to get the first day started. He looked forward out to the path the leads to the gates. Nobody or nothing. Things seemed to be moving quite slowly this morning. Than again its not like a parade or people will be walking up to the gate expecting to get in he thought. So he kept standing out there.

At the same time he looked around to make sure nothing else was going on in the background. No things seemed quite normal out here. This was he duty and mission so he kept up with it. This was after all a way to protect the village. He hoped things wouldn’t go wrong. He had the other guards as well to help him out. After all they wanted completely leave things to the hands of a genin. He just needed to e more confident in himself.

It seemed like he stood out there for another hour. Then he saw something making its way towards the village gates. It was a man on a wooden carriage being pulled by a horse. It seems the carriage was carrying something. The other guard said that he will show Tsuyu how proper procedures are done. The man continued they’re way and stopped the horse Tsuyu walked to the other side next to the other guard. The man pulled out a paper showing it to the guard. The man aid that he permission to go in the village to bring seasonal produce and herbs to the village.

The other guard examined the paper and showed it to the paper and how it was official and showed him the proper signatures that made it official. The guard handed back the paper to the man. The gate opened and the man commanded the horse to trot through the gate. Then just as the man suddenly came he disappeared into the village and gate closed after him.

Several more hours passed after this. Tsuyu taking a small lunch break then returning back to his post. More people came to the gates. Mostly merchant’s or people who came from neighboring towns asking for ninja delegations for assistance. Tsuyu watched how the other guard handle things the first few times. Then he let Tsuyu try the next time. His first chance was to allow some people who live outside of the village to visit their family. The people seemed nervous as Tsuyu walked up to ask for what they were visiting for and clearance papers.

Tsuyu figured they seemed nervous because of his shark like appearance. He was nervous too but he tried holding it back. The people went through the village. Through the rest of the time it seemed mostly returning mist ninjas were going back to the village or out of the village for missions. He spent a lot of time out here but the boy thought to himself that he might have gotten a little used to it already.

The first day of gate duty had gone by faster than the shark boy realized It did go slow at first to him. That was only because he just didn’t know what to do at the time or what to expect. After getting to work for a bit and learning the ropes of the job it wasn’t so bad. Though he hadn’t met anybody trying to sneak in yet. He didn’t want to either as that would make things more difficult.

Other than that though everything was good. Tsuyu was handling things by himself permitting a few people entry into the village. After he had gotten used to it and knew what to do the day just suddenly went by much quicker. Before he noticed it was starting to get to be dark. Another guard came up to him and tell him he could go for the day.

They didn’t want current guards to stay too long especially for the night shift. That sounded good to him. Tsuyu agreed when the other guard said that he had to return again in the morning about the same time he did this morning. The boy left his duty and headed back home so he can get some food and a good rest.

The next morning Tsuyu woke up feeling refreshed. He woke up a little early to eat something. Then he left to go back to the gate so he could continue doing his guard duty. Tsuyu returned back to the gate and notified the guards of arrival. The blue boys arrival meant that another tired looking guard could get off duty.

Now that he knew the minimum to expect from guard duty he wasn’t nervous as when he started yesterday. In fact he wasn’t nervous at all. Tsuyu just kept a vigilant watch while there. He didn’t think anybody would try to sneak in, especially through the front gates. Or somebody would randomly come up and attack. He didn’t want that to happen at all.

The time passed as he just thought to himself. R-relax nobody is gonna try and force their way into the village. The times are better now then they were a while back. Even if somebody does….I-I know how to defend myself he really didn’t want to deal with that yet as he was only a mere genin. Maybe if he trained more he wouldn’t have to worry about it.

His eyes popped as he noticed a woman with a rather larger travelers backpack was walking closer to him. His thoughts were distracting him.Well Iwill think about this later. I just got to believe in myself and do my job now. he thought as he gestured for the woman to come to him. He asked if she had any papers to show visitation permission.

He looked a bit surprised but only because it seems it wasn’t in her pockets. She told The boy she knew she had a paper. She set her backpack down to look for it. As he waited for her to find her paper another person was coming up to the gate. The other guard on front gate duty went up to the man and asked the same thing from him. Tsuyu was keeping an eye on the woman hoping she wouldn’t try anything.

Just as the other man showed his paper the other woman fumbled through her backpack and finally found hers as well. Her paperwork was official when he looked at it. It was good to know nothing was going wrong. Tsuyu gave the woman her paper back. Both of the people were allowed to enter the village.

As the day went by Tsuyu noticed there would be more people like the woman. At first he just thought the woman was careless or clumsy. But now he just thought maybe travelers alike were like that. The day went by again and nothing went wrong. Tsuyus imagination was just wild in the morning. Well he was glad this mission went by without a hitch. Another guard came up and said he can go for the night. Tsuyu thanked him and left. He would need to report to the tower in the morning for a completed mission.
