Task: Someone has reported that a civilian is going to attempt to suicide by jumping off a cliff near the village, stop him by any means, just be sure that he remains alive.

Ayumi looked down at her scroll and re-read it again. Someone...wanna jump down a cliff...suicide..stop him by any means...makes sure he's alive...sheesh...this guy is crazy Ayumi wrinkled her nose. She didn't want to do this mission but she needed the money. Well I better hurry up before this guy is dead She hurried towards the cliff. After she arrived, she saw that the man was just about to jump. "Wait! Wait don't jump!" she shouted. The man turned around and looked at her. 

"No! Leave me alone! go away!" he shouted. Ayumi ran towards the man and grabbed his hand. 

"Wait! I have some questions before you jump" she started. "First, why do you want to begin suicide? Second...well this is not a question but more of a favor...I want you to wait and talk to me" she said to the man gently. She pulled the man gently away from the cliff. 

"So...uh...what's your name first thing first?" she asked. 

"Daisuke." he simply said. 

"okay...Daisuke, so why do you want to begin suicide?" she asked the man, called Daisuke.

The man sighed, looked up and said, " because...because I'm tired of my life! It's so frustrating!"

Ayumi nodded. "And why are you tired of you life?"

"Because...because my wife died after she gave birth to our son. I have two sons you see...my older son, Shunsuke, is a missing-nin and my other son, Taiko, is at the academy. Before my wife died, she said that she wants me to take good care of both of them. I love her very much. Shunsuke was with her at that time. He left the village straight after that without even telling me! So after that I started to take care after Taiko, but...I also started to gamble and drink...and I never won at gambling, so we became very poor...and now we don't have any money left so I decided to begin suicide.

Ayumi raised her eyebrows. "uh-huh...and do you think by beginning suicide, might change anything? What about your son, Taiko? He wouldn't want you to begin suicide. And don't you remember what your wife said? She said you should take care of both of your sons! but here you are...about to begin suicide..."she said. She nearly shouted to the man but kept her voice steady. 

The man looked at her. His face softened at first but then hardened. He glared at her. "What do you know?! Just leave me alone! I'll do what I wanna do! And you can't stop me!" He shouted at Ayumi and walked towards the cliff. Ayumi ran and grabbed the man's arm, gripping it. She sighed. ugh...why does he have to be so stubborn! "Go away! leave me alone!" the man shouted and struggled. Ayumi tightened her grip.

"Wait! Listen to me first" Ayumi said.

"No! Leave me alone! Go away!" he shouted. Well...my mission is convince him not begin suicide and to make sure he's alive, right? So it doesn't really matter if he's hurt, right? I just have to make sure he's not dead... Ayumi grinned. She took out a long string of wire and infused it with chakra. Then she bind the man with the wire and let his arm go. The man fell on the ground and Ayumi and pulled him away from the cliff. She plopped down on the ground next to him. "So...like I said...do you think killing yourself would change anything? Taiko would be sad if you begin suicide, wouldn't he? She started. "And besides, I don't think your wife would be happy if you kill yourself, right?" She said gently looking at the man. The man looked back at her. His eyes softened. He sighed and said, "What should I do then? I don't have a reason to stay alive"

"Yes you do!" Ayumi said firmly. "You have to take after Taiko. You can't leave him alone." She looked at him. "So it's your choice now...do you want to live...or do you want to die...well if you want to die, Imma take you back to the village anyway so technically you only have one choice." she said and stared at the man. "You know what...I want to live...I want to take after Taiko!" he said. Ayumi grinned. "Great!"

She unbound the man, helped him up and smiled at him. "Thanks" the man said. Ayumi smiled and said, "No problem".

 Ayumi had just accepted a long list of mission. Ayumi equipped her weapons and head out for her mission that she had just accepted. She looked down at the scroll. Patrolling...whatever. Not like I have anything else to do... she hurried and began to look around. It was nearly dark. Ayumi walked around normally as if she was just taking a walk. She looked around, putting her face in a cheerful expression and kept on walking. She walked near the academy and looked around. After she was sure that everything there was okay, she walked towards the Hokage Rocks. She looked around again. Nobody suspicious here... She walked away from the Hokage Rocks and walked through the forest. After a few second she sighed. This is so boring! She quickened her pace and looked up at the tree and smiled slightly. Since this mission is boring...let's make it a it a bit fun shall we? She leaped up to one of the branches and started to leapt from branch to branch. While she leaped, she would also swing for branch to branch and also look around for anybody suspicious at the same time. After she was finished, she went out of the forest and went to Hokage Rocks again. From here, she could see everything in the village. She stared at the village and then looked at the training grounds. Been a long time since I went there to train She looked at all of the Shinobi training there. She squinted and saw a shinobi walking suspiciously. What is that guy doing? She watched for a few seconds. The shinobi was walking towards a kunoichi. Then they hugged and walked off together. Oh...just a couple... She sighed again and looked around for a last inspection of the village. No one suspicious...guess my job is done. She smiled and hummed a little tune.

Ayumi walked towards the next house. She knocked on the door and asked the same question that she has been asking. The answer is always the same: food, or actually fishes and wool. Who would steal fishes and wool?...well whoever stole them really loves it...maybe they make sushi with the fishes and knit something with the wool...well whatever. Her mission was to capture a thief or thieves that had been stealing the villagers belongings. Multiple villagers had reported being a target of a thief, mostly at the same time. Ayumi walked through the forest nearby. She leaped up to a tree branch and looked around. It was sunny and a breeze ruffled her hair. Ayumi leaned on the tree and waited. One of the villagers said that his belongings were stolen in the afternoon. After ten minutes of waiting, no one came into the forest. Maybe the thief's hideout is not in here. She was just about to leaped off the tree branch when a twin snapped. Ayumi stopped moving and hid behind a tree branch. She peeked and looked for the person. Then she saw a fat, ginger cat walking through the forest. In its mouth was a few fishes and strapped on its back was a ball of wool. Ayumi raised her left eyebrow. Must be a ninja cat She watched as the cat walked towards a bush and disappeared in it. Ayumi leaped off the branch and walked towards the bush. She walked through the bush and saw fish bones scattered around messily and wool, forming a kind of nest. The cat was in the middle of the wool-nest and was eating the fishes that it had in its mouth just a minute ago. Ayumi walked towards it quietly so that she doesn't scare the cat away. She was just half an inch away from the cat and crouched. The cat looked up at her and said, "What do you want from me?" Ayumi looked at the cat and smiled, "Oh nothing actually. I just want you to come with me back to Konoha." The cat looked at her and said, "and why?" Ayumi looked at the cat and simply said, " Cuz it's my mission...you have been stealing fishes and wool from the villagers. You're a ninja cat, right?" The cat left the fish and turned at her. "Yes I am and I've been stealing because I'm hungry and I need the wool so that I can build a bed. My master left me after our last mission." Ayumi bit her lower lip lightly, "Oh okay. Come on, I will bring you back to Konoha." She lifted the cat and looked at mass of wool. "Well I can't take that back." Ayumi stood up and walked out of the forest with the cat in her arms.

Ayumi tied her headband tightly around her head and walked towards the village gates. Her mission was to escort a man to Sunagakure. All she had to do was travel with the man and make sure he gets there safely. Ayumi thought that the mission was going to be a bit boring but she took it anyway because she needed the money for equipments. The road that they were going to take had just a few wild animals and bandits. After she arrived, she stood and looked around. A man stood there and was also looking around. I think that's him Ayumi walked towards the man and smiled. "Hi! I'm Ayumi and I'm your escort." The man looked at her and gave her a little smile. "Great. I'm Hisashi. Let's go" Ayumi looked at him and nodded. They begin walking and the man told her about his visit to Konoha. He turned out to be a diplomat of Sunagakure. He travelled from Sunagakure to Konoha on some business matters, and was now on his way back. He told her that he even walked around the village and enjoyed everything there. A breeze blew and rustled the leaves of the the trees nearby. Suddenly, a bush nearby rustled. Ayumi stopped walking and signaled the man to stop walking too. Ayumi looked at the bush and walked in front of the man. The bush rustled again and suddenly a huge bear leaped out of the bush. Ayumi sprinted towards the bear, channelling chakra to her left fist and threw a powerful punch at the bear. The bear toppled over towards the bush. It staggered back up and pounced towards Ayumi. Ayumi ran towards the bear again, took out her kunai and stabbed one if its hind legs. The bear roared in pain and toppled into the bush. Ayumi put her kunai back into her pouch and walked towards the bear. She took hold of the bear and dragged it into the forest. "Wait here for a minute. I'll be right back" she told the man. She took a deep breath and grunted. This bear is heavy After she the bear was in the forest, she let go of the bear and went towards the man. "So I'm done with the bear. Let's go"

The man nodded. "You must be a chuunin, right?" Ayumi shook her head. "No, I'm still a Genin, but I would like to become a Chuunin."The man looked at her, a surprised expression on his face. "Oh really? You're still a Genin? I'm impressed. That bear was huge and ferocious and you finished it off alone!" Ayumi blushed and laughed a little. "Well its my mission to escort you and I have to make sure you get back to Sunagakure safely." She smiled and looked at the man. The man smiled. "That means I'm in good hands" Ayumi blushed a little and giggled. They walked in silence for a few seconds when Ayumi broke the silence. "So do you like Konoha?" Ayumi asked. "Oh yes!" the man replied and continued to talk about his trip to Konoha. They talked the whole way to Sunagakure. A lion appeared while they were talking and Ayumi finished it off in a few seconds by stabbing one of its hind legs, just like she did with the bear before. About half an hour later, two bandits appeared. Ayumi realized that they were Chuunins. She finished them off in a few minutes by knocking them down and bound them together and left them in the forest. After they arrived, the man thanked her for escorting him. "Thank you Ayumi for escorting me safely back to Suna." Ayumi grinned. "No problem. It was my mission after all" she headed back to Konoha. Well that wasn't a boring mission. Ayumi smiled gleefully and quickened her pace.

Task: A few cats belonging to an old lady have ran away, she requested help on getting them back.Your job is to find the five missing cats and bring them home. 


Ayumi had just recently accepted a mission the she considered was a stupid mission. It was a D-rank mission but Ayumi thought that it should be an E-rank mission instead of a D-rank mission since all she had to do was capture a few cats. She heard that the old lady had freaked out and went to hollered at the Hokage about it. She wanted him to make it an s-rank mission because she thought some Jounin rank ninja stole them but the Hokage ,add a compromise with her to make it a D-rank mission instead for a higher fee. Ayumi had borrowed a cat cage and a bit of cat food from the old woman. Her mission was to find five missing cats. 

Ayumi walked holding the cage with her left hand and a can of cat food in her other hand. Ayumi walked and saw a ginger cat. From what the woman had told her, she had to find a ginger cat with white paws, a snow white cat with blue eyes, a black cat with brown eyes, a brown cat with blue eyes and a white-spotted black cat with black eyes. She approached it carefully but the cat seem to sensed her and ran away. Ayumi looked at the cat and muttered "stupid cat" under her breath. She knew that it was one of the cats that she had to find because it had white paws. She continued walking and leaped up on a roof. There, she set the cage down and looked around, shielding her eyes from the sun. Then she saw the ginger cat again. She left a bit of the cat food in the cage and took the rest with her. She once again approached the cat slowly, holding the cat food out. The cat looked at her and came closer. Ayumi put the can of cat food down on the ground and crouched beside it. The cat came closer and started to eat the food. Ayumi could tell that it was a male cat and stroked his fur so that he know that she's not going to hurt him. After the cat finished the cat foot, Ayumi lightly lifted the cat and hold it in her arms. She leaped up at the roof where she left the cage and put the cate in the cage. The cat screeched after realizing what she did and tried to get out. Ayumi closed the door quickly before the cat could come out. The cat meowed loudly and screeched. Ayumi looked at him. "Sorry." she simply said. She lifted the cage and brought it the old lady's house and left him there.

After she set the cage down, she saw a bigger cage. She took the cage and asked the woman if she could borrow it and also asked her for three cans of cat food. The woman allowed her and gave her three cans of cat food. Ayumi walked, holding the cage that was half her size with both of her hands and the cat food on top of the cage. She leaped up on the same roof and set the cage down. She left a can of cat food in it and looked around for the next cat. She saw a snow white cat with blue eyes and walked towards it. The cat looked at her, walked towards her and meowed. Ayumi gave it a can of cat food and stroked it's fur. It was soft and beautiful. A spoiled cat... The cat purred as she stroked it's fur. Ayumi lifted it and brought it to the cage. It went inside willingly. Ayumi shut the door and lifted the cat food inside. She walked towards a cat with sleek black fur. Ayumi offered it some cat food and it ate them gratefully. Ayumi carefully lifted the cat when it started to screech. It clawed at Ayumi and screeched loudly. Ayumi held the cat way from her face before its claw scratched her. She quickly leaped towards the cage and put the cat in it, slamming the door. She looked at her skin for scratches but didn't find any. She looked at the two cats in the cage. The black cat seemed to have calmed down and was eating the cat food. 

Ayumi jumped off the roof and walked towards the forest nearby. She saw a brown cat and a white-spotted black cat. She walked towards them and put the last of the cat food that she had in her hand on the ground. They came immediately and ate the food. Ayumi stroked their fur and lifted both of them. She brought them to the cage and slammed the door shut. She smiled and lifted the cage with both of her hands. Then she took the cage to the old lady's house. I'm done~

what remains, safely back to the rightful owners. 

Ayumi had just received another D-rank mission for the day. It would be her fifth D-rank mission. She had just recently figured out that if she did a specific number of missions of all ranks, she can reach the Chuunin rank instead of taking the Chuunin exams itself. Her mission was to find an art thief and bring him in and at the same time returning the stolen arts or whatever remains back safely to their owners. She leaped up a roof and sat there. She began watching for anyone who look suspicious. A breeze blew and ruffled her hair. Ayumi touched her hair and took a deep breath. Then she saw a man, walking down the street who looked suspicious. He was walking alone and was looking around at the people walking around him. He seemed to be clutching something in his right hand. Ayumi jumped off the roof and started to follow him from a meter away. She didn't make it look obvious so that the man wouldn't ran away from her. She followed him into the forest and and watched him as he waited for a few seconds before her left whatever he was clutching on the ground. The thing shone as the sunlight shone at it. Suddenly a boy appeared and took the thing. "Here" he said to the man, handidng him a book. The man took it and looked at it for a few seconds. "Perfect" he said. Wrong person Ayumi went out of the forest and  leaped up on a roof. She plopped down on the roof and watched again.

A few minutes later, she saw a man walking down the street suspiciously. Ayumi leaped off the roof and followed him from a meter away. After a few minutes, the man suddenly looked behind him. Ayumi sensed it and quickly walked into a flower field nearby. She pretended to look for flowers, touching and plucking two flowers. She sensed that the man was looking at her so she sat down and plucked a bunch of white colored flowers. She began to make a flower crown with it joining each of the flower together. The man was still looking at her. After a few minutes, he walked off. Ayumi quickly stood up, put the half flower crown in her pouch and took the two flowers that she plucked. Ayumi hurried out if the field and followed the man again. She tucked a flower that she had in her hand behind her ear and put the other one in her pouch. The man quickly walked into the forest. Ayumi followed him into the forest and leaped up on a branch. The man looked around and ran toward a bush. Ayumi followed him and hid behind a clump of ferns. The man took out a scroll, did a few handsings and a puff of smoke appeared. Ayumi peered and saw two paintings appeared. Then he hid the paintings behind the bush. The other paintings must be stashed away in there too. Ayumi jumped out and looked at the man. "Mind if I interrupt you?" she asked. The man looked at her in astonishment. Ayumi ran towards him and threw a powerful punch at his stomach. He fell down, his arms around his stomach, his face full of pain. Ayumi raised her left eyebrow He can steal but he can't fight. She walked towards the bush and looked inside. There was a bunch of beautiful paintings hidden safely in it. She looked at man and help him to his feet. She bound him and took him to the Hokage. After that, she came back to the bush, took all of the paintings and sent them back to their rightful owners.

Ayumi had accepted a D-rank mission again. Her mission was to just show a group of three academy students the basics of being a Genin. It has been a long time since she had been to the academy. She walked towards the academy and walked into one of the classrooms. "Good Morning!" she said cheerfully and looked at the three academy students  in the room. "I'm here to show you the basic at being a Genin". She walked to one of the desk and sat on it. "So what's your name?" she asked. "I'm Megumi, this is Miki and that's Tetsuya." one of them said, a girl, introducing herself and the other two boys in the room. Ayumi smiled, "I'm Ayumi. So tell me what do you know about the basics of being a Genin."

"Oh! You get that cool headband" Tetsuya said grinning. Ayumi smiled. "You have to do missions and protect the village with your life" Megumi said. "You have to train to get stronger" Miki said. "Good. That's correct. Tetsuya..." she started but then shook her head and smiled. "There are three basic types of techniques: ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu." she started. She began to explain the basics to them. They all seemed to be eager to know about it and kept on asking questions. Ayumi answered all of the questions. She showed them the transformation and the basic clone jutsu and ask them to perform both jutsu in front of her. She told them how they can recognize a genjutsu and how to break it. She told them about taijutsu and also some training tips. She said that they can try lifting up boulder or running around the track at the training grounds, leaping and swinging from tree branch to another or sparring with a fellow shinobi. "Speed, stamina, and chakra is an advantage to have if you want to master ninjutsu. If you want to master genjutsu, you will need to have  an excellent chakra control and that goes the same if you want to become a medic ninja. If you want to master taijutsu, speed, stamina and strength is the advantage to have."

The three academy students listened eagerly at her. "Well I think I have to go now. Maybe we will see each other in the future. But remember this...train, train and train. I know all of you will be great ninjas if you train to become stronger. And don't give up." They grinned at her. She smiled at them and bid them farewell. "Remember. Don't ever give up"

Community service...well whatever she walked towards a clump of garbage and lifted it in her arms.Eww...I sooo have to take a long shower after doing this mission She walked towards a dumpster and dumped the garbage inside. She continued doing this for a few minutes. I have to do this fast...all this garbage just gross me out... She stood and thought for a second and smiled. [i]Let's make this fast shall we?... She rubbed her hands together and channeled chakra to her legs and ran as fast as she can towards th garbage that was scattered in the area near her. After she had an armful of garbage, she would dump them into the dumpster and continued doing the same thing again and again. Her motivation to finish the mission as fast as possible was the garbage. She thought how gross they are and that made her ran faster and faster thus finishing the mission faster. After ten armfuls of garbage, the dumpster was already overflowed. She stood in front of the dumpster with an armful of garbage. She looked around and her eyes lighted up with an idea. She dropped the garbage and crouched. She was just about to dig the ground with her hands when she stopped. She looked at her perfectly oval nails. It wasn't long but she wouldn't want it to get dirty. No...I'm not gonna ruin my nails. She took out a kunai and stabbed the ground. She wanted to make a hole with the kunai . It was going to take a lot of work, but it was worth it. After she dug a huge hole, she lifted the garbage and threw it inside the hole. She went and cleaned the rest of the garbage and dumped them inside the hole. After all of the garbage in the area was cleared up, she pushed the dirt back into the hole with her hands, but making sure her nails were at least two inches away from the dirt. Then she stood up, stepped on the dirt and patted it down with her foot instead of her hand. After she was done, she brushed the dirt on her hands off and smiled.[i] I'm done!

Ayumi walked down the street. She was on a D-rank mission again. She was already getting tired of these missions. Ayumi hurried up and walked towards a house nearby. She looked around. Yup! I think this is the right house She took out a pair of keys that the Hokage had given to her for her mission. She walked towards the front door and unlocked it. She peered in the house and poked her head in the house. It was dark. She took a step in and feel around for a light switch. She walked towards the wall and moved her hand around until she found a light switch. She found one and turned it on. The room suddenly lit up. In the middle of the room was a huge pile of supplies. She raised her eyebrows. That will take a few turns of delivering... she thought to herself as she looked at the pile. She walked towards the pile and looked at it. It was a mixture of food supply and some other stuff that she didn't exactly knew what it actually was. She looked for something that she knew she could carry alone without using much of her energy and saw a small package. She looked for other small packages and lifted one of them. She stacked it on top of another small package of the same size. Then, she walked out of the house and stopped. She leaped up on a roof and started running towards the other end of Konoha. She jumped off the roof and walked down the street. Wheres the house... She looked around. Hmm....where-oh there it is! She ran towards a house and knocked on the door. The door opened and a friendly looking woman opened it. "Good Morning" Ayumi said and smiled at her. "Oh, Good Morning" she said and smiled back. "I've got some stuff...from your old house" Ayumi said and handed the stack of boxes to the woman. The woman took it and said thank you. "I'll be back with more stuff" Ayumi said before she hurried back towards the other end of the town. She walked inside the house and looked at the stack. This will take a lot of work and time...and...whatever! Who cares?! This is like training... She eyed on of the big stacks of boxes. Who knows how heavy that thing is...Well I guess I can figure it out by myself... She walked towards a big box and half crouched beside it. She put her arms around it, as if she was hugging it, and secured her finger around it. She tried to lift. It was heavy but she was able to lift it anyway. Ayumi grunted and walked slowly towards the door. She leaped up on a roof and started running, although not as fast as she was when she delivered the small stacks of boxes. After five minutes she arrived and lifted the big box in front of the door. She continued doing this for half an hour. After she put the last box on the ground, she knocked on the door. This time, a little boy opened the door. He looked up at her and smiled. Awwww he's sooooo cute! She crouched down and looked at the little boy. "Hey, is your mom here?" she asked. A second after she asked the question, a woman came and stood behind the boy. Ayumi looked up and stood up after recognizing her. "Oh, uh all your stuff is here" she said to the woman. The woman looked at her, smiled and said thank you. "Your welcome" Ayumi said and grinned. She waved at them and walked away.

Task: The gates have been ruined, assist other shinobi and repair men in fixing the gates.

Ayumi walked down the street. She had recently accepted a mission and was on her way to do it. Her mission was to help other shinobis and repair men in fixing the gates of Konoha. Ayumi raked her hair together into a ponytail and rummaged around in her pouch, making a bit of a mess in it. Then, she pulled out a hairband and tied her hair with it. She once again rummaged around in her pouch and pulled out her headband. She tightly secured it around her head and smiled. Her smile turned into a smirk as she hurried towards the village gates. She suddenly stopped and rearranged everything in her pouch and walked towards a shinobi near the village gates. "Hi. I'm Ayumi and I'm supposed to help here" she said. The man turned and looked at her for a few seconds. "Hello, so your supposed to help here huh? Well do you know anything about building stuff?" he asked. Ayumi looked at him and then looked at the shinobis and repair men. "...uh no...I don't" she said. The man smiled, "Okay we'll I'm going to show you how then. Follow me" he said and signaled her to follow him. Ayumi followed him. "I'm guessing you're a Genin, right?" he asked. Ayumi looked at him and nodded, "Yeah. Are you a Jounin?" she asked. The man nodded his head, saying yes.

"okay, so you're going to help at this side." he said as he pointed at a building site. There were a few people there. Some of them were shinobis and some of them were work men. Ayumi looked at where he pointed. She lightly bit her bottom lip. " Ummmm...what am I supposed to do?" she asked. The man smiled. "It's not a lot of work to do for a young lady like you. You only have to carry the stones and bricks towards the gates. Then, you just have to help everyone there with building the gates, got it?" he asked. "Ummm yeah...I think so..."Ayumi answered unsurely. The man touched her shoulder, "don't worry. I'm sure you can do it. If you don't get it, feel free to ask anyone here, okay?" Ayumi nodded, feeling a bit realieved. "If you need me, I will be over there, okay?" the man said and pointed at where he was standing before. Ayumi nodded and the man left her. She took a deep breath and walked towards a work man. "Hello, how can I help you?" she asked.

The man looked at her and smiled. He pointed towards a huge hill of stones just a few meters away from her. "Can you bring those stones here? They are not that heavy." Ayumi looked at the stones and said "yeah, of course." she stood up and walked towards the huge pile of stones and lifted one them at the very top of the pile. It wasn't really heavy at all and she carried it towards the man. "Where am I supposed to put this thing?" she asked him. "Over there" he said and pointed to an empty place just half a meter away from her. Ayumi nodded, "okay." she said. She walked over to the spot and dropped the stone. After she dropped the stone, she walked back to the huge pile, picked up a stone and then walked over to the spot where she was supposed to drop it.

She continued doing it for half an hour. She lifted the last stone and walked toward a pile of stone where she was supposed to drop it. After she dropped the stone, she dusted both of her hands. Then, she walked over to the work man. "So I'm done. What should I do next?" she asked. The man pointed towards a huge pile of lumber ten meters away from her. "Can you bring those here too?" he asked. Ayumi nodded her head, "Uh huh yeah." She walked towards the huge pile of lumber and took one on top of the pile. She walked towards the man. While she was walking, she looked around the area. Only two thirds of the gate is finished. I need to train tomorrow and on the next day...and on the next next day...and whatever I need to train everyday if I want to become stronger. She hurried towards the man.

"Where am I supposed to put this?" she asked him. He pointed to a space beside the hill of stones. "Just leave it there" he said. Ayumi put the lumber on the ground and walked back towards the huge pile of lumber. She continued doing it for an hour. She sighed in relief as she put down the last lumber. All of the lumbers were heavy. She looked down at her hand and touched her skin. It was a bit rough. She caressed her skin. She quickly finished her job and walked towards the man. "Is there anything else that I can do?" she asked. The man looked around, "No. Thank you for helping us." Ayumi smiled, "No problem."

Task: Someone has been stealing food from both the members of the village, citizen and shinobi alike, and the shops. Find out who said person is and report who the person is, and where he is hiding. Make sure to not be caught or else the person may run.

Ayumi tied her hair into low pigtails as she walked down the street. She was on another C-Rank mission. She kept on walking down the road. Her mission was a fairly easy mission in her opinion, although it was actually a C-Rank mission, since all she had to do was observe. It was to find out the person who had been stealing food from members of the village, citizens, shinobis, and also the shops. The thief had been hiding his or her stash somewhere in the village. Ayumi quickened her pace and walked around the village. She glanced at everything that she passed by. She looked at the people walking by and also in the shops looking if any of them look suspicious. How can observing a random someone-err...I mean a thief be a C-Rank mission? she thought as she continue to walk down the street. She shook her head and continued down the streets, glancing at everything that was there. She slowed her pace to avoid hitting people while walking since the street was getting crowded. She walked quickly towards the Ichiraku Noodle Bar after she saw it. Then, she leaped up the roof and watched the front and back entrance of the shop. After ten minutes, she leaped off the roof and landed in front of the shop. She was just about to walk away when she saw a man walking suspiciously towards a shop near the Ichiraku Noodle Bar. He was carrying a big bag with him. Ayumi stopped walking and ran towards another shop across the street. She went into the shop and pretended that she was interested in the collection of keychains that was in front of her. She picked up a keychain of a toad and looked at it. Then she picked up another keychain, this time a dog, and looked at it, still pretending that she was interested in both of the keychains. She sneaked a glance at the man as she saw him sneaked around the shop. Ayumi put both keychains back and walked around the shop that she was in. She saw the man came out of the shop with his bag full and both pockets of his pants bulging. He quickly walked away from the shop. Ayumi ran out of the shop and walked after the man. The street suddenly got crowded. She squeezed through a couple as she walked down the street. "Sorry." she said to them. She quickly scanned the crowd and saw the man that she was following. She ran towards the man, squeezing herself through the crowd. The man then quickened his pace and walked towards another shop. Ayumi waited outside the shop for a minute before walking in. She once again pretended that she was interested in whatever was in front of her. She sneaked a glance at the man and saw that he stole some crackers. He quickly put it in his bag and then walked out of the shop. Ayumi followed him, being careful to not lose sight of the man. The man started walking towards an old house. Before he went in, he looked around to see if anybody was following him. Ayumi stopped walking and ran quickly towards a shop nearby. After the man walked through the door, she walked out of the shop and sneaked towards the old house. She walked towards a window and peered through one of the dirty windows. She saw the man sat on the floor and was eating the crackers and beside him was a hill of food. She smiled. She crawled away from the window and stood up, still smiling. She quickly wiped the smile off her face and quickly ran off to report to the Hokage.

Task: There have been reports that there have been animal fights somewhere in the village, your job is to find out where the arena for the fights are and to investigate it, try not to be caught.

 Ayumi walked around in her room as she held the scroll in her hands. It was another C-Rank mission, her third C-Ranked mission. Ayumi sighed as she walked around the room, still holding the scroll, not even bothered to read the contents. She had been getting a bit bored of missions lately. She wanted to go to a S- or an A-Rank mission but she knew if she want to, she has to bring someone with her, at least a Chuunin probably. Not that she mind having someone with her on mission, she actually like it since then, she wouldn't feel alone. She sighed again and plopped on her bed. She began to read the scroll, her eys lingering on it, scanning what was written on it quickly. She got off her bed and walked towards her dressing table. She took a brush and quickly brushed her hair and pulled it into low pigtails. She took her pouches, and secured one of it on her right thigh and another one on her waist behind her on the left side. She put the scroll in her pouche and walked out of her room. She quickly walked down the stairs and out of her house. 

Ayumi walked down the street, looking at the citizens, children, men, and women, the shinobis, and just everyone that was walking there. She smiled. She looked up at the bright sunny sky, at the clouds, and the birds. A little breeze rustled her black hair and her long side bangs that frames her face, to the side. Ayumi took out her head band from her pouch and tied it around her head, securing it. She quickened her pace and leaped up to a rooftop of a shop. She stood there and thought about her mission. I need to find out about animal fights somewhere in the village...I need to find the arena and investigate it. So practically, I only have to observe, just like my last mission. So an animal fight...it must be somewhere that is not crowded with people...somewhere where people wouldn't easily find it... she thought. She looked around the village. That means I have to patrol the village then. she thought. She leaped off the rooftop and started to walk down the street.

She looked at each corners that's she found while she was walking. Corners beside numerous of shops, beside multiple houses, literally everywhere. She continued walking down the street, disappearing into dark alleys between buildings, checking if there was an illegal animal fights going on. Maybe I should check later in the evening...but then I wouldn't have anything else to do... she thought and shrugged her shoulders. She started to hum softly since she didn't want to disturb anyone there. One more C-Rank mission and one more B-Rank mission and then I'm done with all this!~ After I fulfill the all of the requirements, I can be a Chuunin!~ she thought gleefully. She chuckled.

A woman suddenly touched her shoulder gently, "Have you seen my son? He has blond hair and blue eyes and about this tall." she said, showing Ayumi her son's approximate height. Ayumi shook her head, "No, I'm sorry." The man gave her a wary smile, thanked her and walked away. Ayumi looked at her as she walked away. She kept on walking after a few seconds. As she was walking, she saw a man carrying a fierce looking cat in a cage. It has black fur and it's eyes was the exact same color of its fur. Ayumi's eyes narrowed as she saw this. The man seemed to be waiting for somebody. Ayumi realized this and walked into a shop, pretending to look for something. Then, a few minutes later, another man came and greeted the man that was holding the cage with the cat. He was carrying a cage with a large, fierce looking dog. Both of the men started talking for a few seconds, laughing, and then walked away together. 

Ayumi saw this and quickly walked out out of the shop. She started to follow them, camouflaging herself in shadows, and thanks to her hair, no one can see her when she hid in the shadows. Both men seemed to not realize that they were being followed by a girl. They went through alleys after alleys, then at last came to a dimly lit, old building. Ayumi looked at the shabby, old building. She used the transformation jutsu to turn herself into a huge dog. After she transformed, she walked towards the building in her dog form. Suddenly, she was picked up. Ayumi was stunned as the man who picked her up took a good look at her, nodding his head and brought her to the building.

When they were inside, the man threw her into an arena. Ayumi was stunned. Then, she heard a low growl and saw a huge dog just a foot away from her. She started to back away from the dog, but was shoved forward. The dog suddenly jumped at her. Ayumi dodged and ran towards the door, squeezing out of the crowd. After she was out of the building, she transformed back into her old self and ran away from it as fast as she can. Then, she head towards the Hokage's office to report.
