  1. Hyuuga, Kizume looking at the scrolls... Her mission, after all was to lead a squad on a mission, so... She looked at little Yatorama and asked, "How about I lead you on one of those missions you have, that way, we're both knocking out two birds with a single stone."
  2.  
  3. She smirks, "So, how about it kid?"
  4.  
  5. The Hyuuga waited for a response.
  6. Uzumaki, Jaison would take hold of scrolls before nodding as he thought to himself " I wonder what I got" Jaison would wave good bye to the others as he prepared to leave the area and get some work done.
  7. Senju, Yatorama was preparing to depart with both his arms flailing behind him, but he's stopped by a familiar voice. "Huh..?" Yatorama turns and spots to Kizume who offers to assist him on one of the many missions he'd been assigned.
  8.  
  9. "Alright.I have to cut down a tree and deliver some wood. It's not really exciting but I'll get it done!" He explains the parameters of his mission in order to see if the girl still wished to join him.
  10. Hyuuga, Kizume nods her head, seeing that the mission did not state what type she had to lead. So with that, she would add, "If all we're doing is cutting down a few trees, then, it should be a breeze right? If anything, we should get going to that now, maybe grab a few hard working lumberjacks on the way," said the Hyuuga.
  11.  
  12. And from there, she would walk forward, making the hand gesture of urgency so that they may get going. "Just within the village though, I don't think there's any need to go traveling across nations for wood when we're in one surrounded by trees...Literally," she joked towards the name of the village hidden in the leaf.
  13. Senju, Yatorama lets his hands sink into his pockets as he began to move south.
  14. "The tree has to be outside the village in the forest. Tere's plenty of those around and cutting down trees won't be too hard, they can't even fight back." He laughs at his own childish joke, regaining his composure a few seconds afterward.
  15.  
  16. Yatorama makes a fist and flexes his arm, "Who needs a lumberjack when you got this?! HUAH!" He strikes the air and nearly slips. "!!!!" He stumbles, catching himself and wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. "Meet me at the gates."
  17. Hyuuga, Kizume would only raise a brow at the attempted flex. "We'll need.... A lot more than just that I'm afraid," she shook her head and made her way to the village gates... Whilst going there, she'd try to talk wih the locals in hopes of gaining some additional hands, a few volunteers if anything.. Even if they weren't real lumberjacks, anything would help to make the mission go smoothly.
  18.  
  19. Outside of the village... She knew there was a chance that bandits might approach them, but, she did not worry too much about this, and would just wait for the Senju to arrive once she had reached the gate.
  20.  
  21. "Sounds like it'll be one long day with this list of missions," she'd whistle upon her wait.
  22.  
  23. Senju, Yatorama comes to a halt once he reaches the entrance, or in this case exit to Konohagakure. Yatorama didn't seek to recruit anyone to help him, instead he waved, greeting the villagers as he passed.
  24.  
  25. "Doo' doo' doo' do'." He even begins to whistle, his mood could not be dampened in any way. After spotting Kizume already there waiting for him he greets her with another wave as if they weren't just speaking.
  26. "It's me, ready to cut down some trees." He keeps on walkking, exiting the village and immediately making a turn for the vast forest outside of Konohagakure.
  27.  
  28. They were the trees of his people and so Yatorama felt a deep connection to them and the nature they were cradled in. "Hmmm." He wouldn't choose just any tree. The barefoot Senju began to walk through the forest, raising a hand and touching each tree as he passed, attempting to find a suitable one for this mission.
  29.  
  30. "No..
  31. No...
  32. No.." Three failures back to back, therer were some minor imperfections present that wouldn't allow him to give those trees away in good spirits.
  33. ". . . ."
  34.  
  35. He stops moving when he comes upon a mighty looking tree, it stretched far into the sky. Yatorama's hand appraised the tree and he announces his decision. "This one!" The boy hadn't brought an axe, and didn't even plan on using his ninja tools. Instead he walked a fair distance from the tree before kneeling closer to the ground. He inhaled deeply, "...." With an exhale he takes off toward the tree, before getting too close he jumps into the air. The muscles in his thighs ripple and expand as he tucks his hind leg inwards. His dominant leg extends, foot pointed toward the center of the tree.
  36.  
  37. When the young senju strikes the bark he rips through it like hot butter, the tree is carved and immediately begins to fall toward the ground.
  38.  
  39. "TIIIMMBBBEEERRRRR" He alerts Kizume in case she was standing anywhere nearby.
  40. Hyuuga, Kizume wondering what the mad lad had in plan for the tree he was planning to bring down. Kizume only folded her arms to observe. "Hm, wonder what he plans to do----" It wasn't too long after when the Senju then warned her with his call of timber! And seeing that this would alert the Hyuuga to move.
  41.  
  42. She did exactly that!
  43.  
  44. Kizume broke camp and got out of the way as soon as possible... Following behind her were two....Weak looking villagers, as all of the actual lumberjacks would have costed her a big amount of Yen to higher, money she was saving up to purchase a bow with... But right now, as things were, an entire tree had been kicked down with the brute force of a young shinobi.
  45.  
  46. "I should've known he'd pull some kind of trick---I need to get to it as well," she spoke amongst herself, only to scout the area for more trees to bring down.
  47.  
  48. "This one will do," said Kizume as she would approach a rather average looking tree... It did not touch the heavens, but, it looked like it could be a real piece of honest work... She took her axe, and had the villagers get on the opposite side of her... "Swing on 3...."
  49.  
  50. "Three!" She would hack the axe into the wood.
  51.  
  52. "Three!" In sync, they all did it together, and then, this process would repeat itself, until the next tree had fallen... This didn't even account for making actual lumber out of the trees they had collected thus far.
  53.  
  54. "Hey, kid. Shouldn't we also be chopping these trees into logs? Or do you plan to drag the entire thing back? You seem like a hard worker, but, you probably don't want to break your back doing a little mission like this," she'd suggest as the villager volunteers moved onto another tree.
  55.  
  56. Senju, Yatorama thinks about Kizume's words and the logic behind them. "Hnnn. If I chopped up the tree, wouldn't that mean there'd be more wood to carry? I only have two arms!" He begins to laugh again, tapping his hand on his stomach as he begins some light stretching.
  57.  
  58. "We have to carry em' to an encampment south of here." After explaining the gist of the situation he kneels closer to the tree and wraps his arms around its trunk. But the tree's width was much wider than the length of his small arms.
  59.  
  60. Still the muscles in his arms rippled. "Hooooooooooooh!" He hoists the tree above his shoulder. It was difficult to walk with his balance so disturbed but he quickly acclimates.
  61.  
  62. "One! Two! One! Two!" His steps were announced as he moved south with the tree in tow.
  63. Hyuuga, Kizume simply taken off guard by the display of strength shown by the young shinobi... Kizume would turn her eyes on over to the volunteer villagers as she spoke, "Well, you heard him, we have to get going towards the south," Kizume demanded but with a kind tone.
  64.  
  65. If anything, she had no intention of conducting extremely heavy labor... She did not possess the strength for such, especially when she spent most of her years being a diplomat rather than a fighter with polished strengths. So for now at least, she'd only make sure that the volunteer villagers would not break their backs in doing so... After all, it seemed as if the Senju possessed a polished strength of his own, probably from his exposure to war and years of training.
  66.  
  67. "Seems like we're halfway there. Alright, show us to that encampment you spoke of," Kizume followed, but she also kept an eye out, making sure that if anything or anyone were to approach them, then she'd be the first to know.
  68.  
  69. Senju, Yatorama didn't get to leave the village much and so he enjoyed his time as much as possible whenever the opportunity came up. The hard labor didn't seem to be effecting Yatorama too much, he moved along the path until he sees a familiar sign hanging in the distance.
  70.  
  71. "Up there!" He points forward with his free hand at a gate in the distance. The village was much smaller than Konoha but a man in heavy armor was stationed at its border.
  72.  
  73. The man in the armor speaks up when the boy gets close enough, "Yatorama?" The young Senju was immediately recognized from his past exploits. The barefoot genin nods affirmatively, "It's me! I have some friends, just bringing the wood you guys asked for."
  74.  
  75. With a thud he drops the tree onto the ground in front of the samurai. Waving to Kizume and the others.
  76. "Just leave it outside the gates, they'll get to it."
  77.  
  78. The mission was complete, now they just had to get back to Konoha,
  79. Hyuuga, Kizume nodding her head to this, Kizume gave the instructions to those few volunteer villagers. "It's nice to know that not every mission has to be a fight to the death," she joked lightly as the wood had been delivered... Now as mentioned in Yatorama's actions, the mission had been completed.
  80.  
  81. And so, they'd make their way back home to Konoha with gathered experience from the mission. "That's one mission out of the way, and now theres just two more to go..."
  82.  
  83. "Oh and thank you for letting me tag along. You'll be really strong one day if you keep kicking down trees like that!"
  84.  
  85. Here, at the end of their mission, she'd introduce herself. "I never formally said so, but, my name is Hyuuga Kizume, and it was a pleasure completing this mission with you."
