Nakara's Missions (Invite Only)

'Well they're eager to be out and about' Mezurashii thought to herself as she jumped from branch to branch with her teammates. She wasn't sure how long this mission would take, even if the town they were heading to was really close she wasn't so happy about Nakara just shrugging off preparation, she sighed to herself. He'll learn his lesson if things go wrong, which hopefully they won't.

The redhead glanced up at the canopy, hoping against her gut feeling that nothing was wrong and that the town was just facing difficulties. Nonetheless, Mezurashii checked her inventory and sighed. She should of stocked up more, she looked ahead with foreboding swirling in her stomach and worry lacing her mind.

'Something is going to happen' She thought as they neared the town.

As they moved towards the town, Itami was focused solely on his body and refused to let his mind wander, lest he could start thinking about the situation regarding his father again. He couldn't afford that now, especially because they were on a mission and he needed to be prepared and not distracted.

They traveled fast and only took one short break, so they arrived at the town quite early. Upon entering, Itami thought it would be best to stay in the shadows and simply observe the situation and determine if it was safe. It was just a precotion, one could easily be attacked while traveling on a mission, no matter what the nature of it was. Itami voiced his opinions to the other two and hoped they'd agree with him. He really though spying would be best for starters, and if they deemed the situation safe enough, they could start questioning the townspeople.

Nakara would look at the both of them and smile as they began to walk to their destination. Nakara would bring up the rear watching their backs as they walked away from the village. Everything would already be in place for him and he was all ready for a little action, considering that his comrades had his back and he had his.

Mezurashii nodded at Itami, spying would be best a the moment. She put away her headband and turned to the boys.

"I'll see what I can get from local gossip. Nakara you go to the docks and check there, Itami you'll be going to the town's leaders house and see whats going one. If something goes wrong use an explosive, to signal for help. We meet back here in one hour" Mezurashii finished, putting away her holster and goggles in her scrolls before letting her hair loose. It fell a little past her shoulders and she grinned at the boys.

"Bye!" she called out, running down the hill towards the town, using the bag to throw her off balance so she moved more like a travel weary civilian girl.

Itami followed Mezurashii's lead, taking his headband from around his neck and storing it in his pouch for the time being. He nodded at Mez's request and waved to her and to Nakara who was keeping the rear safe. Redirecting most of his chakra to his feet then, he jumped up on a tree and continued among the roofs and branches, deciding to not show himself at all, unlike Mezurashii who was pretending to be someone else.

He smiled a little - being off the ground was where he was most in his element. As the wind swished by, time passed quick and before he knew it, he was at the town's leader house. He observed the going ons from a distance and just as he was about to descend and check out the place from within, a group of minor officials walked out, discussing something. Itami listened closely and after a while got a clear picture of what was going on. They were talking about the multiple occurancess of bandits threatening the roads from here to Konoha. Itami was almost a hundred percent sure those exact bandits were the reason the shipments of food haven't arrived to the main village. Nakara, Mezurashii and himself must have not encountered them becasue they took a shortcut along the forest line and didn't take the main road.
Satisfied with the information he got, Itami returned to their meet up spot to wait for the other two to return.

Nakara would smlie to Mezurashii and use the Transformation technique to make himself look older as he took off his head band and sat it in his Kosada. He would disappear in a puff of smoke as he appeared at the docks, walking around as he looked for any signs of their supplies. Although he could not find anything he would however see what seemed like two theives hustling someone. Nakara would have the element of surprise as he used his wires to grapple around their legs, tossing them into the water, smiling as he ran to the man. He would motion for the man to run as he pulled out the thieves and knocked them out, leaving them behind some boxes. Knowing his time was up he ran back to the meeting point and transformed back to normal.

Mezurashii laughed with some elderly women on a joke they made. So far all she got was that were some horrible bandit's prowling about the travel roads and that she was lucky she wasn't attacked.

"Oh damn I'm late!" she said before hurriedly waving to the women and running off, at civilian pace of course.

"Oh, sorry deary! we didn't mean to keep you from your boyfriend!" Mezurashii nearly tripped at the words, seriously? Both her teammates were at least six years younger than her! She waved them off before turning a corner and continued her slow pace all the way to the meeting place.

'Thank Kami I decided to be a ninja, civilians are so slow!' she thought to herself before waving to her friends.

"Sorry I'm late, can't really go fast when your a civilian" Mezurashii said as she began to put her hair back up.

"Okay, so I got word that a bunch of bandit's have been terrorizing the local roads and any messengers can't get a message through for the same reason, there also apparently spreading out to smaller travel ways, so we might have to careful getting back to Konoha" she finished and turned to Itami first for him to give his report.

Both Mezurashii and Nakara arrived on time, though the girl seemed slightly out of breath. Even so, she was the first to speak, reporting on what she has discovered. Itami wasn't suprised to hear her news were pretty similar to his. And he didn't doubt Nakara heard something similar. People talked. A lot. And in villages this small, rumours got around even quicker especially if they were bad natured.

When Mezurashii finished with her report she turned to Itami first, giving the impression that it was his turn.

Itami coughed a little to clear his throat and then said in an indifferent voice: "I've heard of similar news. The main road to Konoha is supposedly crawling with low rate criminals, although the reason for such a number of them is not known. All kind of shipments and travels along the road have been deemed impossible for the time being. I think It would be best if we returned to Konoha, safely, and deliver the news so those in charge can then decide on what action to take. "
He took a deep breath and waved to Nakara to speak next.

Nakara would listen to their reports and smile as he pointed to the docks," if we are talking about bandits, i just so happen to run into two of them at the docks pestering a trader. I took care of them though so they will not be a problem. If we get to Konoha in a fast manner we can get this ordeal fixed faster so these people will not suffer any longer," as he put his head band back over his right arm.

Mezurashii nodded as her teammates spoke, "Right, so we go back home and report" she said mostly to herself before fixing her goggles and headband, it actually felt strange not to have it dangling on her belt.

And with that she set into the trees, knowing the boys would follow and set the course of the quickest was back to Konoha for a ninja.

[So... it that a done? I'm sure we've gone over the required word count, so... Done?]
