Mission

It was a nice hot day within the walls of Konohagakure. There was no telling what dangers ninja involved themselves in every day for their people. Even today there was perhaps a shinobi that was risking their life for the village in which they served. Tracking down missing ninja who posed a threat, or defending their walls. Other's lives depended on their heroic actions. How nice it would feel, to be seen that powerful and heroic. To get such attention from others.

This would not be in Akira's case. She did not feel powerful as she ventured within Konohagakure's forest. Making her way through the leaves and twisting branches, as her ember eyes searched amongst her surroundings. Her steps placed carefully as if she was on a life threatening mission. Avoiding what little sound she could as she made her way through the thickly barked trees into a much more grassy area. Her glowing eyes lingered as she caught sight of a certain particular plant. The plant looked like a mere bundle of leaves that stemmed out from the core, but to Akira they was something else.

The red haired kunoichi took out a parchment from her weapon pouch. Reading over the scripted words as her body moved to kneel before the plant. Her knees gently crunch against the leaves below her. Yes... this plant fits the written description. Akira replaced the parchment within her pouch, before withdrawing a single kunai. Her hands performed the actions of slicing off some of the leaves that stemmed away from the core. The aroma of the herb filled the air around her as she worked. After collecting the written amount, Akira wrapped the herbs up in a pouch that was provided for this mission, and tucked it away. This kunoichi wasn't one which held the patience to be doing such tedious work. Search for herbs, collect the herbs, bring herbs back. To her, this job didn't feel heroic enough. Gathering remedial herbs did not give her the sensation of feeling powerful.

A sigh escaped her parted lips. Her eyes held a fire that was just waiting to be unleashed. She yearned to feel alive. To bleed! Her desires would have to wait. She will continue these missions given to her with her tongue tied. Keeping her dramatic attitude at bay.

Thirty slow uneventful minutes had passed. The bored red haired woman had found her way to a nice clearing within the forest of Konohagakure. She knelt to the ground, while withdrawing a filled pouch. Her fingers untied the boundage of the pouch, and spread the fabric along the surface of the forest's floor. Within the pouch's fabric was different types of herbs and flowers. Ranging from colors red, green, and yellow. Once again she withdrew the mission parchment from her weapon pouch, along with a small mortal and pestel with a smooth marble surface. Another item that would be temporary after she completed the mission's objectives. Akira set the marble mortal and pestel upon the surface of the spread fabric. Then she unfolded the parchment to look over her next instructions. Her ember eyes scanned over the scripted words as her free hand moved to the chosen herbs. collecting a pinch of each written herb for the first ointment, and placing it within the center of the mortal.

Afterwards Akira would proceed to place the parchment down. Then moving her hand over to the smooth pestel. She lifted it up and placed it within the mortal. After letting out a sigh once again, she would work her wrist into twisting the stem of the pestel. Crushing and grinding the fresh plants into a smooth creamy ointment. Most of the herbs she collected held some sort of healing property to them. Here she was, Akira the fox performing alchemy like a little witch.

Boring...

Twist and grind, twist and grind. The process became so repetitive that the woman would tilt her head to let out a yawn. So are she had quite several jars filled with the ointment that the mission required. Something that was to be used to help improve any wounds that couldn't be treated by a healer in an instant. Akira ended up growing so bored, that she ended up trying to taste the ointment. The impulsive bitter texture instantly caused her to spit it out. "blahh!" How unfortunate she was, forgetting to bring herself something to snack on as she worked. Akira attempted to rub some of the disgusting substance from her tongue onto her arm. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to rid her of the mistake she had made. Luckily none of the herbs seemed to hold any poisoness properties.

The woman finished up the batches of herbal ointment. Cleaning off the jars with the fabric that had been used to store the herbs, and then gathering the jars within a new clean temporary pouch. Tying it off and placing it away. The next step that was listed was to withdraw a large roll of bandage and section it off into even bundles. She spread some length of the bandage out, making an estimated measurement before using one of her kunai to slice it apart. Each bundle was to have two rolls of bandages that measured to 1 meter of length and a jar of herbal ointment. Anything else that was to be added would the another's position for this mission. After the kunoichi finished sectioning off the bandages, and rewrapping them into smaller bundles of multiple, she placed them back where they was and rose from her position.

Lovely... everything written within her given parchment would have finally been completed. She stretched her arms above her head, feeling relieved. Now it would be time for her to venture back to Konohagakure's civilization, to drop off the mission parchment and the bundles of prepared medical supply. This would cause her day to come to an end. To finish off with a mission is the best way to do it. Hopefully a more eventful one in the future, one that finally allowed her to feel powerful. Even if for just a little bit.
