Greenest of Jades

Mission info:

Stat page:

Hinata was on her way to a mine where she was supposed to mine some jade. Her mission instructions said that all she really had to do was get a good chunk of jade and that was about it. And that if she was nice to the assistant then she was going to get to keep some jade for herself. She didn’t know what use she could possibly have for jade, but maybe she could turn around and sell it to the right buyer. That was assuming she would even get the jade in the end. She had a feeling that one of her mission partners would want it which meant that there was bound to be some conflict at some point.

From the onset of her journey Hinata would have her Minds Eye of the Kagura activated so that she would be able to have some level of awareness if someone decided to get the jump on her. The trip wasn’t very far though. From the village gates to the mine was only a quarter mile trip by boat to an island that nobody even lived on. She got to the mine quickly enough and performed her multiple shadow clone jutsu upon disembarking. One of the clones marked Hinata with a mark seal just in case Hinata’s real presence was needed later. Hinata then waved her clones off and they walked over to the mine while Hinata took a seat along some abandoned docks. She’d be keeping a lookout for danger if any was to come.

Hinata’s clones stood around at the entrance of the mine and waited for someone important looking to show up and boss them around. With this much manpower this mission was set up to be a piece of cake, in her opinion.

Yuri set off knowing that Jade could be of use to her. However, she would not focus on the time that went by in the midst of waiting for it was painfully slow. There wasn't much of world going for her as time ticks by but at last, she could do something useful and constructive for her time. Tipped to know that others had gone on and made their path, Yuri would pass what she might have thought as physical shades, entities that passed her with no significant issues as nothing of much might come to raise her attention from her thoughts as the light would guide her path. No one would pay her mind; Insignificant as she would be. But the trend of attire would keep her noted of her distance from the location. More and more of them would disappear from her sight as she closes into her mission starting area. She would keep her looks to the previous eventful episode as well this time since it would help her blend in if there is anyone of the profession.

However, it was not to be at the end of the walk. Yuri ended up meeting someone of her line. She took a moment to ponder if she had seen her around, distance to her is not the problem though her vision wouldn't meet Yuri's without turning.

Ah, what a good day it was going to be. The warm and cozy weather with a slight tinge of humidity, the cumulus clouds that resembled the nostalgic taste of cotton candy, or even the crashing waves commanded by the absent moon amid the luminous afternoon that peacefully crashed against the island landmass. Everything that was transpiring in the few hours the 6 feet and 9 inches tall behemoth stood around the mine, was absolute bliss. Mansuke was a simple 9 to 5 miner, enjoying the unsophisticated things in life such as nature, mining, and dang good food that one could never resist. However, the middle-aged man grew dour whenever a change or inconsistencies appeared in his rather ordinary life, and would rather stray away from militaristic matters dealing with shinobi. Today was supposed to be a normal day of mining, where the walking behemoth could enjoy the nature surrounding his job, and go back home and gobble down a delightful dinner; it was supposed to be a NORMAL day. But, the Ninja World was one that never allowed peace, as Mansuke's boss notified him before the middle-aged man took a ferry to his jade mining area that he was going to work with two other people...two. other. shinobi. 

"Just my luck," The behemoth muttered under his short breath before darting his eyes in front of him, standing 5 meters behind the entrance of the mining area housing the Refined Jade; it appeared that two people were advancing towards his area at a haste speed. As much as Mansuke disliked shinobi, he would try to be somewhat cordial with the two people who were walking towards him, readjusting his yellow mining hat to fit his spiky, jet-black hair whilst keeping his steel pickaxe rested on his left shoulder. He held it tightly with his left hand as if to reassure people that he would not swing the pickaxe at them and it was only for mining purposes, no need to intimate shinobi who could easily kill him if agitated. Mansuke would shiver ever so slightly at the thought of being burnt alive by a fireball and die a foolish death. As the two presumed shinobi came towards the entrance, Mansuke would get a much better visual of the two of them, scanning them for a brief moment to acknowledge their presence. They were both two young women who were way younger than him, the behemoth pondering for a moment why they were doing such menial work like mining jade. Nevertheless, the man would narrow his eyes with lingering suspicion in his usual abrasive personality towards shinobi before words escaped from his mouth,


"Oh. So you lot finally arrived. Let's get something straight before we start with...business. I despise everything you two stand for, shinobi like you only make this world worse and I don't want you ingrates to poison my work today since that's the only thing you guys do. So, unless you guys prove me wrong by showing me your work ethic, you lot ARE getting the BARE MINIMUM of the jade we mine today. Any objections? Ah, no? Okay, let's start," Mansuke venomously grunted to the two with a voice reminiscent of a beast before walking back another 5 meters before deciding again that he should give them instructions to the equipment, "On the right of you lot houses two pickaxes and two miner hats if you guys need them to mine the area. Let's get some work in, chop-chop!" The walking behemoth explained to the two young women before grabbing his pickaxe and scanning the area to see a great mining place. Hopefully, he would find one soon, lest he finish his job later than expected.

Yuri wondered what would brought the man to such a corner in the world hating her as part of the process; Might it be better if the clones just simply ganged him up and had him taking it lying down. There are a few things to note so early in the mission but those are redundant. He gave a roar for both of them to get the minimum; Such a nice man he would be for hating both of them. Yuri could lift him up if she wanted to though it won't amount to that but seems that the situation will not even leave her equipped to mine, hinting her to save it up for the ores; What a reception, if she was a few years younger a burst of laughter would erupt. In truth, Yuri is aware that she won't be needing the pickaxes anyway. Take all you want, i'll be training on the ores Yuri said to Hinata. The foundation of her inspiration would serve to complete the mission instead.
