Building Blow Up

Mission Link

Within the Uchiha district, Okisho was seen standing in front of an old, but very familiar building. The sun above revealed his sad long face, the memories he had of this particular place was noteworthy of any kid trying to have a bit of fun. This place ahead of him used to be an ice cream shop, which, if he could recall correctly used to have the best sundaes in the entire village. In fact, people from Tanzaku Town used to travel to the leaf just to spend the entire Sundays with their kids. It it was the UN, for kids to meet one another from all over. The faint laughter of kids flooded his awareness, as if he went back through time. But, those days were over, now, instead of kids roaming about, it would be comprised of rich yuppies with their purebred dogs, looking down at the true locals from their luxury condo balconies.

As for attire, Okisho is a minimalist, nothing too flashy and void of any logos. He is seen wearing a simple all light grey shirt, and a pair of dark navy-blue slacks which stop at the top of his ankles. A single ninja pouch concealed underneath his black shirt. The pouch his attached to his black leather belt, fastened on the back right side of his waist. His shoes are standard issued shinobi editions, revealing his toes and back ankles. His shinobi headband is tied tight against his forehead, but not so much to cause any discomfort.

Okisho didn't know who to be frustrated with, the new money pouring into the neighborhood, or the neighborhood it self selling out to the big realtor companies. What he did know, was that this change had to stop. If it didn't. sooner or later the locals who actually want to stay here with their families might get priced out and have to move further away from their ancestral grounds. He could foresee the chain of events that would happen. Uchiha moving in to the Hyuuga district, which would upset them, then the Hyuuga district gets bought up, then on to the Senju district, rinse and repeat. Perhaps it was the frustration causing Okisho to experience all the paranoia, robbing him of his good sense? Maybe, he was right, and a civil war was on the horizon? He sighs, while pulling out the mission scroll he received this morning. He hoped, once again, that maybe he misread something, and that he was actually suppose to help remodel the building for a local Uchiha citizen? A flower shop? A bakery? Something!?

But, as he skimmed through the scroll, it was the same.

'A large old building needs to be torn down in order to start construction on a new project. The best way to do this is to blow it up and clean up the mess.', his mental voice was just as depressed as his vocal voice. But, at least there was silver lining to all of it, he'd get to share this great sin with his friend and teammate of 212, Tenshi Uchiha. He waits for his arrival, before commencing with the destruction of the Uchiha district.

Tenshi was walking through the Uchiha district that morning. He had no reason for it, he simply felt the need to get out of the house. He had found his mind wondering a lot recently, he was struggling to keep himself grounded and it was frustrating him. There was something about his training that just was not paying off for him. He felt stagnant, as if nothing he could do would help him progress properly. More than anything, Tenshi felt ashamed of himself. Ashamed that after making so much progress in his time as a Shinobi, he was now running around in circles like a headless chicken. What exactly was going on with him? He shook the thoughts from his head as he continued with his walk. They would not serve him well right now.

Tenshi was dressed in his usual attire, black. Lots of black. His long flowing jacket helped keep him warm as his thick black boots did the same. Tenshi had never been interested in dressing like the other Shinobi, he felt as if it removed his sense of individuality, it was as if it restricted him. Thankfully, Konoha had not been too strict about the dress code for their Shinobi. He knew it annoyed the more traditional and old school Shinobi of the Leaf, but that did not bother him. If he was comfortable wearing his usual clothes, then he would damn well wear them.

Tenshi's daydreaming was interrupted by the sounds of a bird calling from above. It was a high pitched sound that he was all too accustomed with in recent weeks. There was a message for him, and it was most likely going to be a mission. For a moment, Tenshi hoped that he was wrong. The young Uchiha did not usually have a problem with going on missions, but he just did not feel like it today. He wanted to be lazy on his walk, perhaps get some ramen and spoil himself to dessert later in the evening. But it seemed like that would have to wait as he found himself proven right. The hawk that landed on his shoulder indeed had a mission for him, although it was one that made him raise an eyebrow.

He was to join his team mate, Okisho Uchiha, in demolishing a building. But it was not just any old building, it was a once beloved ice cream store that he remembered attending as a child. He had been very fond of it when he was growing up, he even had a few core memories that took place with one of those ice cream cones and a friend or two. But now, it appeared that the ice cream store would just be a product of a bygone era, an era where the Uchiha district was actually filled with Uchiha, and not just a bunch of pompous rich pricks who could afford to move in and drive out the traditional residents. The thought of them made him sick. Tenshi was a supporter of change, but not change of this kind. Not the type of change that had resulted in many of his neighbours and clan mates being displaced from their homes to live somewhere more affordable.

The young Uchiha recalled the rage he would feel as he would walk up and down the streets of the Uchiha district, only to find that familiar faces had been replaced with total strangers. Strangers with smug smiles and fat wallets, almost as fat as themselves. They would give him fake greetings and pretend to be interested in who he was and what his interests were. This all stopped after the most recent occurrence where he had told one of them where they could stick it. The outsiders had learnt to steer clear of Tenshi Uchiha from then on.

With a sigh, Tenshi began walking to the location of his mission. It was not a long distance from where he already was, only taking him a few short minutes before he arrived to see Okisho standing out the front. Tenshi's team mate clearly appeared to be quite distressed as he waited. He assumed it was likely due to what the two of them had to do, Okisho probably had similar experiences with the old ice cream store. Tenshi knew that his team mate was far more sentimental than he himself was, so it was likely that this would be hitting him harder. Deciding not to keep his team mate waiting any longer, Tenshi walked up to him and gave a wave. "Good morning partner, it sure is a lovely day to be tearing down some walls and helping some outsiders deface our once great district, isn't it?" Tenshi's words may have appeared sarcastic and joking, but they were absolutely laced with venom and disgust.

"Kang Realty..., that's the group that's behind it all. The multiple purchases in old town, the new high rise near the north Uchiha district entrance, and now this one.", he extends the scroll towards Tenshi as he was in arms reach. Normally, he'd respond with a hello, and a bit of curiosity to whatever he had been up to these past couple of weeks. Knowing Tenshi, he knew that the guy probably expanded his jutsu arsenal ten fold, he was determined to run this village. In order for that to happen, he needed power in fist and in name.

It had been sometime since team 212 actually had a sit down together. he longed for it really, the team as a whole just enjoying themselves without training or going on a mission. He believed that they all deserved it, especially after his sparring match with Tenshi. Going into the advanced training ground, it was a work and by the books. But after the two were done talking, he eventually came to realize that he may as well be a bit more than just a tool. His hideaway spot in the market district, was basically the only free time he could get. Doing it in shame, it, it got old. He wouldn't mind sharing a few churro bites with his teammates. The imagery of it all, almost took away the heavy feeling of what he had to do now. But it was short lived,

But not this time, this time, he was robbed of any focus towards happiness, deep down, he longed for some payback which he himself would re-brand as justice. The Uchiha high council was also involved with the massive gentrification going on within the village, was money truly everything? Kang Realty was the face of evil in this story, but the true monsters were yet to be revealed. Well, up till now at least. Within the scroll, held the ledger of names associated with the buys.

"I didn't notice it before, but their seal was stamped on the bottom right side of the mission scroll, along with a few other familiar names. Kiro Uchiha, Raven Senju, and Toru, notarized with an office seal. I don't know who Raven is, I'm still doing some research on that, but I know Kiro is part of the Uchiha council. Kenji, well, He's a village elder. I don't know much about him. Do you know ether of them?", he gives time for Tenshi to respond. While doing, he sighs while taking in the structure of the decommissioned building. Despite the hate for all the change in the name of progress, he had to admit that it was indeed a bit big of an ice cream shop. Perhaps that was why he, and so many other children, had so much fun running round the place. It was huge, and the vaulted ceilings only made it bigger. It truly was a paradise back in the day, but as always, money corrupts everything.

Tenshi would just nod along and agree with Okisho as his team mate and fellow Uchiha spoke to him, he felt himself becoming quite distracted with the whole situation as time went on. In the end, all that mattered was that they had a job to do and they would have to do it properly. Their emotions or feelings of the past were irrelevant, no matter how strongly they felt about everything. "Sadly, this is simply how it has to be, at least for now... Okisho, perhaps we should speak in private a little later on about everything. The two of us are clearly at least somewhat on the same wave length regarding our clan. We are not happy with the direction it is going in, and I think that the two of us together can perhaps make a real change and fix this embarrassing situation. But until then, let us destroy this once beloved establishment..."

Tenshi would then begin his work but summoning his faithful dragon, Rellgar. The large beast flew around the outside of the building and began to systematically tear it down, ensuring to coordinate with Tenshi and Okisho to avoid any damage or debris befalling them in the process. The demolition job too longer than Tenshi had expected, but after several hard hours, the job was finally complete, without so much as a scratch to show for it. After dispelling Rellgar, Tenshi turned to his team mate once more with a solemn smile. "Today was difficult... for numerous reasons. But We did what we had to do. Shall we go for a coffee or tea? I think the two of us have much to discuss..." If Okisho agreed, Tenshi would walk alongside him on their way to having a very important conversation.

Approved

"You're right..., but matters like this can't be brushed aside like this forever.", he said affirmatively. The two did had a job to do and the matters pertaining to the Uchiha clan wasn't going anywhere. Okisho then created some distance from Tenshi, he eyed his partner's movements. 'A summoning Jutsu', he pondered. out of a thick cloud of ivory smoke, erupted a crimson dragon. His eyes widen at the sight of the winged beast, Tenshi, was most certainly way ahead of Okisho. His thoughts crawl back to the time when the two fought in the training facility, the gap then was a nudge. But now, the gap present was a wake up call.

On his side of the table, Okisho weaved a few hand signs of his own, conjuring up a few fireballs. He then volleys them towards the decaying memory of his childhood, each one bombarding into the structure with deafening blows. He felt uneasy about the destruction, but time and tide waits for no one. As he did this, he took a few glances towards Tenshi and his dragon. Of course, he did so to remain at a safe distance. But also try to gauge Tenshi, at what he had become.  

Moments later, the job was finally done. Okisho was nearly exhausted, the amount of jutsu cast in such a short time took its toll indeed. Shifting his attention back to, Tenshi, the offer to have a bit of coffee did sound enticing right about now. "Sure, I could use a pick me up. I wonder if that new spot on main st is open?", OKisho then sauntered off with Tenshi.
