Escort Duty

It was a loud afternoon, and the sun was out high as Konohagakure streets buzzed with villagers carrying out their daily tasks and what not, while our young ninja Daikuri was on his way to his. He was just departing from the mission board, exiting the building as he read a paper with the details of his assignment on it. He was told it was going to be a simple escort job, but nothing was ever simple around here he thought. He just wished to be given the harder assignments where he could show off his abilities and the new skills, he been learning but he would have to get his hopes up for another day because he had to finish what was laid out in front of him now.

Daikuri was currently on his way to the village gates to meet this so called VIP he had to escort, but as his eyes scanned through the page with his mission briefing, he couldn't help but to let out a small sign. "Ughh... not this this guy..." he said to his self. At the end of the page, it was a picture of his target, he was going to be escorting "Jamil Proctor" a famous architect who was very fond of his self and couldn't learn how to shut his mouth even to keep his self alive. "Ima need a smoke" Daikuri said as he flicked the paper off into the ground and continued his stroll to the village gates. Even though he didn't feel up for it this was still a mission he had to finish, and the number one objective was to keep everyone safe, and that he planned to do.

After a few minutes of strolling Daikuri was now coming up to the gates and just pass the outside entrance he could see Jamil who was accompanied by two other men all ready and carrying bags over their shoulders filled with tools, books, and other various things. Daikuri approached the group awaiting him on the path by the gate and gazed at Jamil looking him up and down for a brief moment before greeting the man. Jamil was a heavy set guy and wasn't known for his looks which didn't compliment his nasty attitude he was known for. "Hey fellas' good day, I'm here to make sure you get to that project safely we sho-"  Daikuri tried to finish but was interrupted when a villager bumped into one of Jamils entourage, this starting an almost bad situation.

"Sorry my bad " said a man that had bumped into the guy as he tried to gather himself an continue on, but Jamil stopped him with one hand on his shoulder. "You don't just bump into us and just walk off!! An apology isn't goanna get you out of this one" he said. But before he could get another sentence out Daikuri placed his hand firmly on Jamil's shoulder, instantly gaining his attention as he said, " I think we should start going now... what about you?" he asked the overweight man as he raised his other arm pointing down the road insisting for Jamil to go first. He then shrugged Daikuri hand off his shoulder pouted, then started walking down the road, his entourage of two doing the same as Daikuri followed a few feet behind the group.

After a hour or 2 the group was off the road and moving through a forest nearby the village and the sun was setting which mean night was coming. This meant danger even though their destination was about 30 minutes away. They just had to keep on the path they were going on until they reached a clearing which was where the latest project of a new temple was being built. Jamil being the main overseer of the project which meant he was a priority for Daikuri. A few more moments had gone by before there was a sharp sound of a sword being unsheathe from the darkness before them, causing the group to come to a halt.



Then a male figure started to reveal itself from the dark slowly approaching and coming to a stop a few meters away. "Jamil your time is up... there's a nice price on your head for the taking and we want it." the unknown man said as 3 other men then reviled themselves from the darkness and from hiding behind the surrounding trees. "Stay back." Daikuri said to Jamil as he pushed himself in front of the entourage ready to defend the men. Without another word two of the bandits jumped forward with their swords raised in an attempt to attack our young ninja but be quick to react Daikuri thrusted his right palm forward. This releasing a vacuum shell which shot at the attackers knocking them off their feet and crashing into a nearby tree.

"Thats right bout time you learn better!" Jamil shouted from behind. Another two bandits then proceeded to follow up with attack one swinging their sword in a overhead slash which Daikuri swiftly side stepped and using his gentle fist style delivered a rapid 4 palm combo to the bandit's torso knocking him to the ground leaving him completely disabled. The other attacker then thrusted his sword from behind trying to pierce through Daikuri but he noticed it and leaped forward away from his enemy in a fast spin flip. While in air he reached for his pouch and launched a kunai directly at the man's heart which landed striking the foe. His body hitting the floor just as our young ninja foot touched the ground, landing his evasive maneuver.

Now turning to the last man standing he was caught off guard by a rush attack. The bandit was violently swinging his sword in a furry, pushing Dakiuri back each step as he dodges one strike after another with his fluid movement. While back peddling and dodging each strike Daikuri then proceeded with the hand seals Dragon - Hare - Ram - Horse "Wind Release: Zephyr Blade!" he yelled. With one outwards swing of his left arm, he released a sharp wave of wind which then sliced through the man's torso splitting him in half. Daikuri then stood there and watched his surroundings as he scanned the forest and activated his Byakugan to try and find anymore bandits and to make sure the coast was clear.

"Alright the location is not too far from here now let's get going before any more trouble shows up" Daikuri said to the others as he rushed them up to get moving. he was right it was too far now they been traveling for a little while now and Daikuri was in a rush to get things over with. After a few more minutes of walking in the dark forest camp lights were now being seen from a distance then before you know it, they had reached a small clearing with a medium size camp with about 50 men. Jamil then turned around towards
Daikuri as he choose to say some final words.

"Well done my boy you got my approval I'll tell you that... but this where things end you will baby sit me no MORE!!" he said before he and his entourage spined off into the camp. "Sign.... I'm glad i don't have too" Daikuri added as the man walked off. His mission was now complete, and it was time to head back to the mission board to collect his reward. Just another day another dollar as a shinobi.
