Zenkai kicked a large pebble along the path as he walked on it, this was the dumbest mission he could have ever been on. He had to go through someone's entire day and find some stupid locket that was somewhere around the village. This would be the mission that would kill him, not because it was dangerous, but because it was boring. He just had to find one small locket, something that anyone could have done but Nooooo, they wanted a ninja to do it, what a complete waste of time and man power. He was going to do it anyway though, it was one of those small insignificant missions that he had to do in order to finally become a mist ninja.

Zenkai walked around the village for a few minutes before looking down at his list to check his first position. This was a ramen shop, he sighed, shook his head, and walked off towards his first destination. As he arrived in the shop, he took a quick look around, sadly though he didn't find the locket. Shaking his head, he looked under the tables to see if there were any signs of it, there weren't. He decided to ask the shop keepers if they knew of the locket. Finally he obtained some information, the shopkeeper, who served the old man his food, told Zenkai that he had seen the man with the locket on. He nodded to the shop keeper before turning around and running off.

Zenkai walked out of the shop to his next destination, which seemed to be the ninja academy where he was picking up his grandson. He put his hands behinds his head and began to walk in the general direction, looking all around him to see if he could find the damn thing. Of course on his walk over to the academy, there was no sign of the locket what so ever. He looked around the ninja academy trying to find some hint of whether or not the locket was here. He looked around in the grass a bit, then near the swings, then the gates, then the stares, there was no sign at all of the locket, finally he gave up on the search for the locket "Whatever, I'm moving on"

As he walked out of the academy he looked on the list to see the next spot that he was supposed to go to. His next location was the ice cream shop, he shook his head and began a quick jog to the shop. He looked around the outside of the shop and on the road going into the shop and simply could not find anything. Finally he arrived at the ice cream shop and immediately began to look under the tables. As he stood up he ran over to the counter, looking around, then looked inside the ice cream containers, just in case the locket was in there, it wasn't. He rubbed his eyes slowly, shaking his head, this was going to be a long long day.

Zenkai frowned as he left the ice cream shop, this was now getting on his nerves. The Ice cream shop owner kindly told Zenkai that there wasn't any locket found in his shop so he left as soon as he heard the news. This wasn't fun at all, this was pretty shitty, he needed to finish the mission but he just didn't have any motivation. He grabbed the list out of his pocket readying over the next place, the park. Just great he had had to go to the park to find a locket, with all the grass, trees and bushes around it would be nearly impossible to find it. With a heavy sigh, he began to walk in the direction of the park, this would be fun.

Eventually, Zenkai found his way to the park and began his search through the grass. He bent down and began to search through all of the grass, trying to find the locket but of course he would never actually find it here. None-the-less he searched the grass, then moved to the bushes, then to the trees. This was a tireless search that he knew would be fruitless in the end. The only thing that kept him going was the fact that he needed to finished the mission to get into the village. The search was making his head hurt now but he kept looking, making it to the last batch of trees before moving on to the next site.

As he looked around the last tree, he saw a squirrel, but not an ordinary squirrel, this squirrel was carrying the locket in his mouth. He grinned at the squirrel, holding his hand out to it, hoping it would just drop the locket into his hand. Of course the squirrel didn't drop the locket, it just took off up the tree, trying to get away from the strange person. With that, Zenkai jumped up the tree, grabbing at the squirrel, trying to get it in one fell swoop. The squirrel though was faster than expected and moved away before he could get to it in time. He sat on the top of the branch, watching over the squirrel who climbed up the tree a little more, watching Zenkai in anticipation.

Zenkai took out a Kunai and watched for the squirrel to make his move, he'd have to take it out the hard way. The squirrel though, dumb as it was, began to climb down the tree as if nothing had happened. Zenkai stood still as the branch he was on waiting for the squirrel to come to him. Soon enough the squirrel was within reach, he began to raise the Kunai, watching the squirrel, waiting for a chance to strike. Surprisingly though, the squirrel dropped the locket to the floor before taking off. Happy to have the Locket back, Zenkai jumped off of the branch, picking up the locket and putting it in his pocket. He smirked to himself as he walked off towards the mizukage tower with a skip in his step.
