[Mission] Shibata as a good influence?

Shibata woke up that morning without the sense that anything was wrong. He fell asleep a few extra times, like normal, and rolled out of bed. He followed the routine, eating his typical breakfast and brushing his pearly whites in the exact same manner he did every morning. Goddamn this was boring, but it was his. It was a routine all to himself, and he took gratification in that. He stretched out, and after trying to find his pa to tell him he was leaving, found a note saying that he had already gone into town. This was strange behavior for the elder Nara, but Shibata dismissed it and continued with his day. He opened the door to his hunting lodge, walked the path and made it through the gates of the village.

Shibata waved hello to the grandmother whose garden he helped with the day earlier, pet the dog who was being walked (on a leash this time) by the owners whose kids he had saved that same day, and even saw the obtuse military ration pill maker whose puzzle he had ignored through his green glass door. So many mission Shibata had succeeded in, to think that the kid named Naito managed fail one of the same rank. Must have just been some poor struck of luck  Shibata thought to himself as he reached the mission board.

Shibata's eyes glazed over as he once again looked over that same list of E ranked missions. None of them were particularly exciting, nor were they challenging as Shibata learned the last day. His focus shifted to some of the more challenging missions. He looked at the list of D ranks first, but still, nothing jumped out to him. They were just a bunch of petty things and the Rebel Heart was trying to be especially helpful this day. He looked at the C ranks, just to see if any looked doable. He considered interrogation, but he was in too much of a good mood to do bring the proper hardness required for that job. It was now that a mission jumped out at him. *MISSING PERSON: NAITO AKIMICHI*

Admittedly, it took Shibata more than a second to recall the young man he met just the night before, after all his memory never was the best. He tried to figure out why this stuck out so much to him as he pulled out a cigarette. As he lit it up the force of his memory coming to him hit him so hard he spit out the freshly lit cigarette. Of course! That kid last night that fucked up the E ranked mission, I was just thinking about him, damn my mind is all over the place he realized. He quickly took the note, and notified the mission center he would be taking this mission, and swore he would find the young genin and return him to his home. 

Shibata thought about how much Naito reminded him of Riell Hyuga, his the cell member from his past that had attempted to flee the village, only to be stopped by a younger Rebel Heart, and by extension executed in an attempt to help preserve clan secrets and discourage any other hyuga from fleeing. He recalled that the young Akimichi lived in the Northern part of the Eastern District of the village, and so that's where he started his search. He approached the house where he saw the to be runaway sitting, in his place a much older and rotund figure he assumed to be Naito's father. Shibata approached him, and asked to confirm this.

"Yeah, thats me, I'm the rugrats pa," responded the elder Akimichi, "Why do you ask? Have you seen my little Naito? I can't find him anywhere, it's driving me crazy."

"No, I'm the shinobi assigned to finding him, in fact, you wouldn't mind if I looked around your house, just the stuff pertinent in finding your son, I assure you, would it?" Shibata answered as he introduced a new question.

"No, that's fine, anything to get my son back, just please, get him back safely," pleaded papa Akimichi. With that said, Nara walked straight through the front door and found the only bedroom with a twin bed. Shibata scanned the room, Nothing disturbed, no struggle, that's a good sign, he thought as he sat in the bed, wondering what could have happened, wondering how he could run out if the front door was still locked from the inside. As he sat, he lit up a cigarette as he had to use his jacket as a windbreaker when it hit him. Why is there a breeze in this room, when there isn't an open window, he thought as he looked under the bed, bingo. Under the bed was a trap door that, following it, lead Shibata to just outside the fenced in back yard of the Akimichi residence.

Following from this, he saw a pretty obvious path that led to the walls, and it was clear what happened. Naito had ran into the forest, just like the Hyuga he blames himself for getting killed. Shibata dashed up the stairs to get a better vantage point on the forest, and saw smoke from a campfire off in the distance, remarkably close to where Shibata had gone hunting with his father in the past. Shibata ran as fast as he could to the fire, and to no surprise, he found the young Akimichi, who was startled anyone could find him out here.

"GODDAMNIT!" he shouted, "Even when I'm outside the village I can't escape how much of a fuck up I am. I can't believe a failed even getting out of that place."

"Dude, calm down," Shibata said, cutting all artificial niceties from his voice, "You aren't a failure, you just fucked up once, don't let it cost you your life. Anyway the only reason I could find this place is cause I hunt around here sometimes with my pa, speaking of which, yours is worried sick about you." 

"Really? He is? And hey what do you mean about it costing my life?" Naito asked, now excited.

"Hell yeah he is, first thing in the morning he sent a mission out for it, and he hasn't left the spot I last saw you since you left, and the other answer is a bit more complicated," Shibata responded. "You see missions haven't been all peaches and gravy for me, back in the day when I was part of a cell, I had a mission and lets just say it went south," Shibata continued, "The Chunin assigned to us died, an Akimichi like yourself, and so did another one of the Genin, they both sacrificed their lives so that me and the other cell member could get out with our lives. The next day after me and her, Riell, got back to the village, but she couldn't handle the pressure, and in the night tried to run off. She couldn't handle losing her friends, and just wanted the simple life of a farmer, but of course when I had, unrelated, tried to visit her that night, and saw a mysterious figure dashing off, of course I followed it, and trapped it, but then it was revealed to be Riell herself. I brought her into the village, expecting just a slap on the wrist, but turns out because she was a Hyuga, and because they were so protective of the Byakugan, they executed her. I live every day with that memory, and everyday I think about how much I wish I could have prevented that from happening, so now here I am. I just want to make a positive impact to compensate for how thoroughly I fucked up in the past."

After taking a second to digest, Naito replied with a simple, "Wow, I never knew. I've got to get back home, I've got to see my pa again." With this said they both turned back and headed towards the village. Along the way they exchanged small talk, and agreed on a story, that the Akimichi had just ran out to get some training done early in the morning, and anyone who would pay too much attention would be too happy to care. They got to his home, and upon reuniting both Akimichi embraced each other, and with his job done, Shibata went to the mission office to claim his payment hearing the heartfelt thanks of the father as he left, and just leaving them with a wave as he lit up another cigarette. He entered the office, and reported the mission completed, claiming his rewards and smiling not (just) from his satiated greed, but from his heart being warmed as he finally saw a positive impact he was making.
