Tsuchikage's Office: Missions [open unless stated otherwise]

Sitting on the seat in front of the big bay window in his office, Enishi sighed and drew his left knee up so he could rest his crossed arms over them. His eyes were staring rather unseeingly at the landscape in the distance as he listened to Kuronuei sifting through various files on his desk - reorganizing his cluttered paperwork. It was morning and the two men had gotten together, as they did every morning, to review the week's work which was fine and dandy considering how the country had been pretty stable for the past few years under his guidance. However, he knew that he shouldn't be letting his own ANBU Captain doing any kind of desk work - regardless of how lazy the Tsuchikage was feeling.

There was a light rapping on the door and Enishi immediately bolted from his seated position, shoving Kuronuei out of his chair and watched as the Hyuuga ninja was deposited unceremoniously onto the floor. Ignoring the glare that he knew was sure to follow, the Tsuchikage cleared his throat while readjusting his Kage robes - muttering something incoherent under his breath as he fixed his hat atop his head. Now he, the Sound Sovereign, was currently going through the motions of appearing to be busy as the door opened to let in the ninja who so bravely wished to test his strength and display his skills by undergoing a mission.

"Ah, come in, come in!" he said, ushering for the ninja to come forth. "So you think you've got what it takes to take on the tasks placed before you?" Holding out his hand, Kuronuei shoved the scroll roughly into the waiting palm of the Tsuchikage. Not even a second ticked by before the Earth Shadow tossed the mission scroll to the ninja requesting to undergo the task. Enishi smirked. "Let's see just how skilled you really are."

Since it is the main source of income for this community, their livelihood is threatened by this monster who continues to destroy their fishing boats one after the other. The objective of the ninjas is to sail a boat out into the middle of the water, take out this creature before it is able to destroy the boat, and haul in a nice catch for the evening to bring it back to the fishermen.

  Mission Description: Sacred artifacts from spiritual shrines have been stolen and are now in the hands of four different rebel shinobi factions. Deeming that these items will be able to pull a decent profit after selling them to the highest bidder, it will enable them to strengthen their assault force. The main task of the team of ninja is to go in as stealthily as they can, recover the stolen artifacts, and make it out of the bases of the four ninja factions undetected. If an alarm is raised and the ninja are caught, the mission is a failure. Bear in mind that just because a ninja is alerted of your presence, you are still able to silence them without the cause of an alarm being raised. Stealth is key. Getting in and getting out undetected is key to this mission's success.

  Number Of Shinobi Needed: 4
  Mission Description: A threat is rising and the civilians can sense it. A certain individual is speaking out too much and acting in violence toward the others in the village, causing a scene and raising too many questions. It has to be stopped. The Kage of said village has asked that this mission be carried out discreetly. However, because this is a mission being issued outside of your village - as well as an assassination contract - you will not be granted access so easily into the gates of the village. If you are caught, the village will not be held responsible for actions and nor will the country you reside in. Your goal is to find your way into the village as stealthily as possible without alerting the gate guards, avoid detection by the village's ANBUs of your trespassing, and successfully eliminate the target while he sleeps in his home. Be forewarned, the target is also a skilled shinobi and there is a chance that your life could end by his hands. Succeed in terminating the target, hiding the evidence that he was ever assassinated, and leave the village swiftly without being detected. The corpse that will be found shall be proof enough for the Kage who issued the mission and he will report of its success to your Kage in return.

After awaking, Torao went through his normal procedure. Awake, eat, feed Shi, and then go off around the village to learn of things to do. Torao wanted to become worthy of being a full on member of the Liger pride, and decided with Shi, today was the day to do a mission for the Tsuchikage. He geared up and grabbed his tanto's, figuring he might need them. He grabbed his kunai pouch and his shuriken belt and put them on his red coat. He grabbed two kunai and placed one onto his left shoulder pad, while he took the one he was to place on his right pad and began spinning it around on his finger.

He left his house and began walking towards the Tsuchikage office. Shi walked close next to him as they walked throughout the village. "I don't think its safe to spin that Kunai around.." Shi told Torao. Torao looked down to Shi and calmly replied, "Nothing in the world is safe. If you trust me, this kunai should be the least of your worries." He kept on spinning it while he made it to the Tsuchikage office, then put it onto his shoulder pad. Shi looked over, and had the look of Are you ready? on his face. Torao nodded and then opened the doors to the building, soon after climbing a set of stairs and reaching the Tsuchikage office. Torao knocked on the door, and soon after entered and approached the desk. He bowed before the Tsuchikage and then stood up, asking the question that was on his mind. "Lord Tsuchikage.. I heard you you have a mission. Its about a farmer with a little wolf problem. I wish to take up this mission with Shi here."

After a long night and part day, Torao finally returned to the Tsuchikage's office. His clothes were a little beat up, but most of his wounds had healed, which he found strange. Shi's wounds had mostly closed up, being they were minor. Torao entered the palace with scroll in hand and once again climbed to the office. As Torao made it there, he knocked on the door again, waiting for the signal to enter.

After entering, Torao walked to the Tsuchikage's desk, bowing and then presenting a signed scroll. Mission complete Tsuchikage. I was able to take care of the wolves and remove them from the area. Torao stood before the desk awaiting for the Tsuchikage to revise everything and reward Torao.

Enishi looked up, his smile falling just a margin at seeing the young shinobi who entered his office. Kuronuei shifted just barely by his side - so slight that only Enishi would have been able to notice - before remaining still. The Earth Shadow did not have to guess what his best friend was feeling at this moment.

The boy presented the scroll to him and when Enishi opened it, confirmed the signature of the farmer who had put in a request for the mission and handed it off to Kuronuei. "Very good," Enishi complimented. He pulled out a Seal Scroll - a scroll enabling the carrier to hold a few more extra items on his person without taking up additional space and adding weight - and tossed it to the boy. "I shall make a note of your success and consider that a bonus for your efforts."

Torao caught the scroll and then looked at it a little. He put it in his back pouch and then bowed before his Tsuchikage. Thank you sir. After those short words, Torao signaled Shi to follow him and both left the room, then the palace. They headed back home for some much needed rest.
