The jounin was rather surprised when instead of comforting the young girl Niji accepted the apology, perhaps this was just because they were friends or maybe she really did think that Kamiria slowed them down. Personally Shinichi felt that she did what she could at her skill level, there was always that chance that she could have done more but he wasn’t going to hold that against her. ”I agree with Niji, taking on more responsibility is defiantly a good thing and will help in your journey to becoming a chunin in due time. Don’t forget though, I’ll be here to help you and Niji every step of the way.” he addressed Kamiria shortly after Niji spoke to her.
Niji and Kamiria both seemed interested in the idea of a mission. It had indeed been a very long time and it was about time to loosen up some rusty gears and get back on the saddle. ”Well Kamiria, I have been eyeing a mission for a few days now. It’s a simple one but I think it’d be a fun way to get back on our feet. As you know from Genkai’s attacks a few nearby cities have been damaged, some of which still haven’t been completely rebuilt. It’s our responsibility as Kumo Shinobi to help these towns out and that is exactly what this mission involves.” Shinichi responded to Kamiria but eventually started addressing both her and Niji.
”Basically” he faced the two of them. ”There is a village about eight or so hours away from us who need help in reconstruction. From what I’ve read about it there hasn’t been any reports of bandits or anything but you both know how fast that can change. It shouldn’t really be that difficult. Just cut a few trees down, help in some big supply deliveries and maybe help with some crops, the usual. I’m sure you’re both skilled enough to take on this challenge.”
Without saying much more Shinichi turned around and began heading off to claim the mission. ”Well come on slow pokes. We got ourselves a mission at hand.” he waved them on and off the trio went. Within ten minutes all the boring paperwork was finalized and the mission was theirs.
”Well it seems as if we’ll be out on this mission for a few days, maybe even a week. I know we’re only going to be a few hours from home but I want you both to pack what you think you’ll need for the first week and then once your all packed up we will meet at the front gate and head out. I’ll cyah then.” As usual without much more warning Shinichi began heading out, this time towards his home to pack. When he arrived he grabbed his basic ninja tools that he always carried and even packed a small meal for the road. Although he didn’t typically carry a backpack he felt it was needed this time for an extended stay.
Within his backpack he packed a blanket, a few extra kunai, an empty notebook with a few pens, a whetstone, a few torches in case they encountered a dark scenario and one single candle in the event he wanted to jot something down in his notebook at night. Once everything was packed Shinichi did one lap around his house, turning off everything, and then made his way outside.
Perhaps it was because he didn’t pack a whole lot of extra gear or maybe he was just faster at packing but Shinichi found himself first at the gate. Now it was just a matter of waiting for the rest of his team.
((Don’t worry, I plan a doing a few extra things during this mission. I know it sounds a lil boring now but give it sometime.))
