Further Adverntures [Shinsui]

Oboro awoke to the tiger that was desperate for attention poking against his bare chest. His eyes popped open as he felt the claw prod his chest, wary of possible intruders for a short moment. "Wow Hobbes, you scared the shit out of me ya big cat. Don't wake me like that!" He tried to hide the fact that he basically jumped out of his skin upon the first feel of a claw on his chest. He looked to his side and saw the baby panda rest beside him, asleep and as cute as ever. She was snoring, his little Oona. She was making it so difficult for him to not gain emotional attachment, however he made sure that he would not put her deep within his heart. The more things that he loved, the more things that could be hurt in order to hurt him. It would obviously put him in a sticky situation should his pet be on death row due to someone that he had made enemies with. So, he would simply raise the little bear and sell her to someone who would love her. Someone who would not allow her to be hurt by an enemy.

He rose from his bed and stepped into his shower, the hot water poured on his body as he turned the valve. He allowed the water to cleanse his body before dowsing it in soap and washing away his sins. After bathing, he would emerge from the glass box and stare himself in the face as he looked through the haze in a mirror. "What to do with myself..." He would comment before giving himself a smile. He emerged from the ivory colored bathing room and looked at Hobbes. "You're in charge of the house today buddy. Gotta take Oona on a few missions as Shin and I do the usual D Rank sweeps. The village really needs genin to do this shit you know..." He grabbed his clothes and dressed himself before scooping up the baby panda in his palm. He kissed her head, she was still asleep, and opened the door before walking through it and closing it behind him. Hobbes was already curled up in a ball, asleep by the time he made it outside. 'Laziest ninja I swear...' He said to himself with a slight grin.

He locked the door behind him despite the fact that he was sure that Hobbes would be able to defend himself from any threat that may come. However, he could not allow anyone to sneak past the tiger with their hands on his valuables. That much was absolutely unacceptable. And so he would walk down the street with the panda cub resting in a small pouch that he had placed on his shirt simply for her to sit. Oona was still a baby, so she required lots of sleep for full development throughout her life. However, it was a short walk to the administration building where he would meet Shinsui as the two always did while they performed missions. He greeted him with a smile and a fist bump, showing a sincere happiness to see his friend. "I suppose we will be doing the normal ten missions today. First things first, a man in the pawn shop at the south of town wants a collection of baseball cards. He already has a shipment at the post office, so we can just get them from there. We also need to deliver a package and two letters. And while we're discussing the first few things, a lady uptown needs her weeds pulled. So I suppose we can deliver the package and the cards as well as the pluck the weeds all towards the same time. They're all pretty close." He nodded at Shinsui before picking up the letter and package from the counter. He made his way out of the building with Shinsui behind him. The two trekked downtown with the package, as Oboro was ready to get these missions over with. Oona still lay resting his shirt pouch, however now she was awake, making cute little noises every few moments.

The sun rose slowly from behind the mountains which hid Otogakure from the world in the Land of Rice. It's bright beauty caressing the grass covered land as it rises, the flowers opened up as the sunlight touched them, as if reaching towards the light. Though it wasn't the only thing the sun woke up this morning. His room had a sliding door on the side the sunlight would shin upon every morning. This door was open to let the light in as well as some fresh air during the night as he laid nude under the covers of his bed. The sunlight shined upon Shinsui's face as it rose from behind the mountains, his eyes registering it and a stinging sensation woke him up as the sunlight touched his sensitive eyes which were not yet used to the light of day again. His eyes opened up and he decided not to lay in bed for a while but instead he would get up and ready his clothes as usual. He had another mission sweep he needed to do with Oboro, the genin of this village seem to lack the intellect to do it themselves otherwise there would be no need for the two of them to be doing these missions. With his clothes read he would get to the bathroom where he would get into the shower. The water flowed from the showerhead onto his body and then off as gravity pulled it down. Steam started to build up fast in his bathroom, not due to size but due to the temperature of the water. Shinsui liked hot showers in the morning, it woke him up fully but also relaxed his muscles after laying all night long in bed tensing them up. The noise made from the water of the shower woke Draco up, the wolf's ears would rise into the air as he heard the noise. He knew it was time to get up so he headed downstairs where he would await Shinsui's arrival at the table so he could get some bacon to eat. Oh how the wolf liked pig. Shinsui would get out from the shower and start to dress himself. He would be wearing normal casual clothing today, no anbu armor would accompany his clothing as there was no need for it. There's nothing dangerous about delivering packages or mowing lawns, and that's what they would be doing throughout the day, among other things. The first part of his daily routine was finished as he got down from the second floor and headed down to the kitchen as he walked down the stairs. The smell of bacon and eggs on toast was in the air, a nice smell which he walks into each and every day as he goes down from the second floor every morning. The royal family's cook was indeed a professional, though Shin doesn't want no fancy breakfast. He enjoys the taste of sunny-side-up eggs on lightly toasted white bread accompanied with a plate full of bacon strips. Draco's bacon plate was separated from Shinsui's, a spoiled wolf indeed, having his own plate of bacon each and every morning. Shinsui took Draco's plate from the table and placed it on the floor next to the wolf pup. However he didn't eat, instead he waited for Shinsui to take his seat on the chair by the table. As soon as Shinsui started to eat, Draco would soon follow with his plate of bacon. The pet's favorite snack and food, bacon. Shinsui enjoys it too, the meat satisfies him for sure. Maybe it was just the wolf genes within them that made them love meat so much. "Come Draco. We have more missions today." He said to the wolf standing in front of him. Draco's size has gotten bigger during the last while. His training with Shinsui has helped a lot too.

Today was going to be special, they would be clearing a lot of D ranked missions. The village funds were building up nicely, as well as Shinsui's own. He wanted to help the village become more stable, and eventually be known as a major village such as the other three known as Konoha, Kiri and Kumo. This was slowly but surely helping their dream come true, he was sure Oboro felt the same. The needs of the village would be put ahead of his own feelings, still soar from the death of his friend Zanji and the fact that he had to hand him over to the likes of someone not even of Otogakure was something Shinsui wasn't happy with at all. But.. It was for a good cause at least. Zanji was dead, but his body helped pay for the revival of the Senju known as Katsuro. Oboro spoke to him about his friend, when Shinsui revealed the Senju body he had to fix up for Garuda, Oboro would see it was Katsuro and the two talked about getting him revived. Apparently Zanji knew of a person capable of reviving the dead with the famed Edo Tensei technique. So he agreed to help Oboro due to the friendship they have, despite it's troublesome moments. Besides, this Senju definitely owed him. Zanji wasn't the only thing that had to be given away, a few dna samples were traded for the life of this Senju too. It was the past though, Shinsui would keep his emotions intact, one day the Senju would repay him. Shinsui and Draco were walking towards the administration building where Oboro and himself meet up as always when doing a mission sweep for the village -and themselves- to gain some money. "Just a little while more Draco, wanna make this walk into a run?" Shinsui asked his pet wolf. The wolf would give a nod before he started to run towards the meeting place, Shinsui smiled at the challenge of the wolf as he ran before Shinsui could even register the nod. With his superior speed he would make a dash forward which turned into a run, allowing him to easily catch up with the wolf. The two stopped running as soon as they arrived next to Oboro and his newest pet; a panda cub. Oboro then suggested they do the normal ten missions, but Shinsui wasn't going to just those. The village was in need of dire funds, as well as himself.. "We can do the normal ten, but I propose we do more this time. They don't take a lot of time, so why waste a day on just ten missions? I'm sure you'll agree that we need to secure village funds." Shinsui would speak to the shinobi and friend of his in front of him. "By the way Oboro.. We'll need to talk sometime." He said with a more serious tone than his original few words as they started to take the package and other things that were apart of the missions they had to do for the day. It was time to get serious, the village's safety and security depended on their missions. It might look like nothing doing D ranks, but it was an important factor in the village's system and funds.

Oboro was a bit excited to hear that the man wanted to do more than the regular ten missions. He was more than happy to help out the village, and Oona needed to get some experience under her belt if she was going to be a powerful Doton user. However, for now she simply curled up in the pouch that was attached to the top of Oboro and gave a little mew or snore every now and then. However, he sat her beside him and allowed her to run as the two would be doing their missions. She needed the exercise to grow up and become big and strong. With the package in his hand, he allowed Shinsui to hold the two letters. It seemed that the destinations were just two houses away from each other and so the distance of which they had to walk would be a bit shorter than what it normally would have. However, that was when Shinsui mentioned that the two needed to talk and so he assumed it was of something important. He looked at the wolf of his partner with one brow raised. The man would likely want to speak about Zanji, and how could Oboro refuse... "Okay, let us talk now then. We have more than enough time to speak of it. That is if you would like." He turned onto the street that was their destination before walking to the house that the package belonged to and sat it on the porch as he awaited for Shinsui to put the mail in the other house's mail slot. It seemed they could already scratch two missions off of their list. That part was easy enough, however now it would be best to go down the street to the pawn shop and learn of the items they were wishing to collect. The two could gather them as soon as possible and bring them back, and so Oboro would walk aside Shinsui as the two talked about it.

As they made their way to the pawn shop, the owner mentioned that he wanted the wings of a particular moth. Sadly, this was not something that he could simply go out and find for the price of a little Ryo. They would have to scour the surrounding bushes to find the wings that were buried by the moth. What type of moth does things like this? Don't they have better things to do with their time? Oboro would have much preferred to have collected baseball cards or something of the sort, but instead they wanted the purple wings of a purple moth. Such a lame shopkeeper, or at least that was the thought of Oboro. He would have wanted some cool rocks himself, however he was here to do the mission and so he was seen in the bushes, digging for wings that he eventually found and brought back into the shop for the keeper. The man smiled and agreed to consenting that the mission had indeed been completed. Oboro smiled and thanked the man before making his way out of the shop. He picked up Oona and nuzzled her against his chest as he continued to walk with Shinsui.

Shinsui was glad to see that his partner Oboro agreed to the increased amount of missions they had to do for the day. Draco was standing next to him, staring at the new pet of Oboro. Seeing a panda for the first time ever was intriguing to the wolf standing on four paws. However his attention was then brought back to Shinsui as the Alpha decided not to speak about this specific topic at this moment. "I'm not sure if we should talk about it now. I'd rather sort it out in a different way. The two of us should have a spar at the end of these missions. I'd like to see what Zanji was up against, among other things." Shinsui said to Oboro. He wanted to know if Oboro was truly able to lead this village to the glory it deserves. Him and Zanji was going to do that without a doubt (lol this is just IC opinion of Shin). And now that Zanji is.. dead, he would have to see if his successor was capable of handling the risks and dangers that came with the title. Sure, he beat Zanji, but Shinsui doesn't know how. For all he knows, Zanji could have been ambushed by a whole squad and Oboro isn't strong enough to take Zanji on alone. That's the true reason for this spar, to see if he really can take care of the village in case of an attack. If he is capable of doing that, he would earn the trust of Shinsui back which he lost somewhat after he showed up with Zanji's body in the hospital.

The two continued to walk towards the houses they had to go to in order to deliver the package and the two letters. The streets were full of people, some standing on the pavements talking to each other, some walking towards their destinations IE. Their jobs, their homes, the shop. And then some being there to sell things as they stood behind their stands on the side of the Otogakure roads. However they would leave this setting as soon as they made a turn left to a new street leading into a neighborhood, this was where they would be delivering the packages to. The houses were just up ahead. Draco continued to walk around sniffing the ground as he was never here before, familiarizing himself with the new scents he picked up along the way as well as in this current area. Shinsui looked down at the wolf, he was getting smarter by the day. He already knew to familiarize the scents of everyone in Otogakure, in case someone decided to sneak in undetected. If a mist nin sneaked in, the two wolves would pick it up easy. The smell of the ocean and constant mist mixing with their clothing gives them away pretty easy. The land of fire was also detectable, the forest smell sinking in to their clothes. This was the only way they could get to Otogakure, to pass through their forest. The trees in Oto's forests were different from those of Konoha, and the two wolves already know the smell of Oto's forests from their wild adventures at night. The land of lightning was detectable as well. Shinsui knew this from the smell of Garuda and the two bodies he brought with him, all three from Kumo. The rainy smell of the clouds was easy to track. But of course it rains in Oto too, though the smell of the constant clouds in Kumo was stronger than a casual rainy day in Oto. They were afterall the village hidden in clouds. This smell tracking trick was one of the basic things Shinsui taught to the wolf when he first got the pet, his father taught it to him and he perfected it as he traveled the world for eight years, learning these different scents. Not long after they made their turn, the four of them would arrive at the houses where the package would be delivered and Shinsui would be placing the mail in their mailboxes. With a simple movement of his hand he opened the first mailbox and placed the first letter in. The second mailbox was an open-lid mailbox so there was no need for him to be opening a small "door" if you will. That was done after he confirmed the address for each of the letters, making sure they correspond with the house addresses.

"The pawn shop next?" He would ask. It was logical as it was just two streets away from these houses. Oboro agreed and Shinsui started to walk further through this sweep as he headed with the other three towards the pawn shop. The man seemed to want the wings of a strange moth species purple in color. They agreed to this for a nice ryo reward in return, so they started to search the bushes outside the store. Luckily the store was just in front of the park where these moths were hiding, they could do the park mission next as well. "After this we should start to clean the park, don't you think?" Shinsui said as they searched the bushes. The wolf Draco also looked around in the bushes to see if he could spot anything, which he did. He started to dig slightly on the ground, making sure not to hurt the wings. Shinsui noticed this and moved over to Draco where he would then remove the wings from the ground carefully and headed back to the pawn shop with Oboro. The two had each gotten wings and were paid a nice reward after they handed the wings to the shop keeper. With this done, they could head over to the park across the street and start cleaning it.
[964 WC | 2164 TWC]

It was time to go on to the next mission after the two had turned in the wings to the man. Shinsui had notioned that he would like to fight Oboro, and this kind of made the man giddy. He was excited to see the raw power of his partner and looked for ward to their spar. He was indeed capable of killing a kage as weak as Zanji but Shinsui seemed far stronger than that of the previous DAimyo, he had an aura that radiated off of him implying that he would indeed be a foe of great power. The thought of the great Taijutsu power that rested inside of Shinsui gave Oboro slight chills as he thought of the power that Shinsui might be able to use against him. However, it was implied that the two would not be slaughtering one and other in this battle. However, Oboro would assume that the two would not be killing each other in this fight, however thatr wwas likely what Zanji thought as well so Oboro had to be sure to watch out for Shinsui. It seemed there was a rather large game of thrones to be leader of Otogakure despite the fact that it was said to be the weakest village. However, he had faith in his partner to not kill him in his sleep or something of the sort.

They made their way across the street as Oboro explained that he would indeed accept the challenge of the man but only after they were completely done with their missions for the day. Sadly, it would probably take a couple of hours to finish all of it, however it was time to clean up the park so he focused soley on that and began to remove as much litter from the ground as possible. There were small pieces of plastic and paper all over the place and he was having to pick up each of them one by one before coming up with the brilliant idea to use his jutsu list to his advantage. After performing the hand seals needed to produce his Bungee Gopu, he coated his hand in the pink, sticky stuff in order to grab the pieces from the ground and stick them to what seemed to be his flesh so he could  carry more than a few pieces at a time. The gooey substance clung to his flesh as if it was completely connected and could not be removed without the will of Oboro himself behind it. It was the ultimate form of stickiness. Nothing could escape the clutches of Bungee Gomu With this method, he was able to carry dozens of pieces in each arm before having to drop the gum itself in the trash and replacing it with a new layer. Oona ran behind Oboro and played with the wolf, Draco, who belonged to shinsui. Draco was considerably larger than Oona, though she did not seem to fear the dog that would intimidate animals that were not careless. Oboro would look at shin as he too picked up trash and the two would be on their way to the next mission before they knew it. However, this one would be a bit dangerous for the likes of the smaller animals accompaying the two of them. They had to remove a mass of beehives from the park. There was a better method for this than what Oboro was thinking, however he did not wish to burn down the entire park in the process. And so. once the others were at a safe distance, he threw a rock at a beehive and took off running away from the park and to a nearby lake. On bee landed on his neck and dug its red hot leaded stinger deep into his flesh as he wailed out in pain from the shot fired from the insect. He smacked the back of his neck only to feel a flutter of wings on the back of his hand, This encouraged him to run even faster than before, as well as nearly piss himself in the process. He lept into the lake and only the foolish bees were dumb enough to try to follow him ih. The water felt amazing as it filled his skin cells and seeped its way into his body. The water was ata a perfect temperature, cool enough to provide comfort from the sun but not too cold to bring a chill into your body that was unwanted. His hair filled with the stuff and became matted with water. He flipped it to the side as to not imbed his vision in any type of way shape or form. His feet touched the mud towards the bottom and allowed him to push himself from the bottom of the lake back up to the top for his face to resurface. Liuckily, he had managed to strip to his briefs before jumping in. The rest dispersed and likely went to find a place to live. That was when Oboro looked toward Shinsui and shouted, Your turn mate!"

After receiving the ryo from the shopkeeper they would be walking across the street towards the grasslands known as the park. His partner had accepted his request for a spar. This was a great opportunity to see the power which Oboro possessed in action as well as get rid of this built up hatred growing ever more in Shinsui by the day. The Shinobi world was turning into a place further from what Shinsui seeks with each kill happening daily within each village, whether it be internal or external affairs. It was as if Shinsui was in constant pain, the pain he lives through each day of knowing that he would need to kill many people in order to reach his dream of a life without murder, a peaceful life. His heart breaking more and more as he thinks about this reality which he faces, but it was necessary. He would push past the pain in a heartbeat and not think twice about taking out those who posed a threat to this dream he and the First have in common. Draco was following along with the panda as the two played during their walk towards the park across the street.

As his feet met the grass of the park he would start to devise his plans for the mission. Firstly he had to pick up the trash such as papers and soda cans and even juice boxes laying around here and there. While he was doing this he could also remove some weeds from the grass to keep their park "clean" from any filthy vegetation. He started by walking over to the first few things he could find to pick up, along the way he would remove some of the weeds from the grass. This was taking too long so he decided to speed things up. The instinct within him to be better than others caused by his Alpha genes would have him blitzing through the park at full speed picking up the litter from the grass and weeds out of the ground, the blinding speed allowed him to complete this quite easily. Next he would get a cloth which he would wet with one of the ponds in the park. This led him to clean the tables, wiping off any dirt and leafs as well as some bird poop on the tables. Soon enough the mission would be completed, he removed the weeds and cleaned the tables as well as picked up the litter from the ground with the help of his friend Oboro. The two pets would still be playing around with each other as the two shinobi continued with their missions. Shinsui noticed a few beehives in the area and knows that there is a registered mission from exterminators which requires them to remove some beehives to keep the parks safe and prevent allergic people from actually dying from a bee sting.

This mission would have gone much easier than it was about to if Shinsui had just trained his suiton by now, but that was another time's concern. He would do this the old fashioned way. He searched for some big buckets nearby and found two. Each of them could contain enough water to drown an entire nest of bees, and Shinsui was indeed strong enough to carry this weight in each hand. He walked over to a pond and filled the first bucket fully with water, followed with the second bucket. Armed with his buckets of water in each hand he would start to walk to the first beehive he saw. He placed one bucket on the ground and held the other in both hands now. The right hand of Shinsui held the bottom of the bucket whilst the left held the top rim of the bucket. With the force of his right arm he would thrust the bucket filled with water at the beehive, soaking it completely. The bees started to drown slowly but surely, the queen which was unable to escape then drowned as well ensuring that this hive wouldn't make it to tomorrow. The bees laid on the ground soaked in water unable to fly away, a few minutes would pass before they would die, but Shinsui wasn't gonna stand there and wait till that happened. He ripped off the beehive from the tree branch and took the second water bucket to the next hive. It was located about thirty meters from this first hive. Again he used the same hand locations for the second bucket, using his right hand to throw the water and his left hand to balance and control the bucket's direction at which the water would be thrown. After soaking this nest, he followed up with removing the hive from the tree branch. This was all done after the events created by his partner using a rather sissy approach to the beehives. Shinsui found it entertaining to see Oboro run like that from tiny insects which could only sting him causing a short time pain.

"So what's next 'mate'?" Shinsui would say as he giggled a bit. The next few missions that they needed to do was up to Oboro, Shinsui had chosen the park's cleaning and beehives as well as picking some weeds, so it was only fair to give the Otokage a chance of being a leader in this selection of missions especially chosen for today.

(Just to keep track:
Missions Completed- Cleaning the Park, Beehives, Delivery, Messenger, Picking out Weeds, Collecting)

Shinsui had taken a more logical approach when it came to exterminating the beehives. He used the water just as Oboro had, however, he brought the water to the bees as used it to get rid of them. Oboro watched from the cool pool of water as his partner got rid of the beehives and felt the chill of the liquid surrounding him against his flesh for a bit longer before emerging and allowing the sun to dry him. The question at hand was what missions to do now that they had completed the five prior and Oboro decided that it would be best to go ahead and finish up all the missions in the park before moving on to the next location. There was one mission in particular that was asking for the planting of a few trees in the park to allow more forest into the area. "Well, we should plant the seeds of a few trees in the area to increase the population of the trees within the vicinity. I assume we can get the seeds from a pinecone or something, however I'm definitely no expert on plants." He would approach a rather large pine tree immediately west of the clearing and look at a pinecone that had fallen to observe the tiny beads inside the spiky gymnosperm that seemed to be how the tree reproduced. He took about three in his hands and dug three holes near each other to the east of the original tree. Each hole was about a foot deep and in it he placed the pinecones, so they could bloom anew. He would repeat this process for about 4 times, planting fifteen to-be trees. His partner would assumably plant a few of his own as well. However, they could not afford to delay because now Oboro was looking forward to the spar of theirs that was coming up.

Since they were already in the park, it would be a good idea to try to round up the creatures that the zoo was looking for. It was a bit ironic that the zoo wanted possums and snakes considering the natural rivalry between the two creatures. With the possum being a cousin of the mongoose, there was a good chance that the animals would not get along one bit. Not to mention both animals could make one sick by sinking their teeth into one's flesh. That was an issue that the two surely would need to look out for. Other than that, Oboro was not too concerned. He was pretty sure he could catch a snake at its neck in midair if he needed. And so he made his way into the denser part of the forest with Shinsui. "I'll catch the snakes if you catch the possums!" He said with a sly grin to his partner. He knew he couldn't carry possums and snakes at the same time, however he was sure that he would be able to hold three snakes in each hand before bringing half a dozen of them to the zoo. Due to the lethality of the situation, Oona was packed deep inside of her pouch in his shirt. He didn't need his little baby panda to be bitten by one of the venomous reptiles lurking within the forest.

He searched the area with his sharingan and was able to see every life form within the area. It seemed the majority of snakes in the area preferred to stay underground and come up only for food. Oboro would use this to his advantage. With a small rabbit family in it's eyes, he could see a few snakes slither towards the unknowing group. He would stalk the stalkers through the grass. As he approached them, it was clear that they could not hear him and so from behind, he snatched up both of them one by one, each by the neck, and used his Sharingan to hypnotise the both of them into becoming friendly. 'Easy enough', he thought to himself as he had the snakes slither on their own accord. He did the same with two other snakes and had them join the group. However, the fifth and sixth snake did not go down so easily. From within his shirt, Oona grunted, allowing the creatures access to the knowledge of his location. They lunged at him one by one, and he was forced to catch them each at their throats as their jaws nearly dug into his flesh, poisoning him. He put them under his spell, just like the others and allowed the half dozen to follow him as he went to find Shinsui.

He walked through the overgrow and felt a few of the surfaces on his way. The trees in this area were much rougher than that of other areas within the village. The rest of the village seemed to be full of bamboo and other smooth trees, however this one seemed to have trees made of bark and leaves that were much like straw. The scent was also very fresh with the smell of petrichor and serene bliss. His nostrils tingled with every inhale. The rhythmic breaths of the panda against his chest managed to sync with the pounding of his heart due tot he scenery. HE felt truly amazed by what he was working to preserve today and was happy to be able to assist this park in any way necessary.

[This gone be funny]
Shinsui was looking at Oboro as he started to emerge from the water, not even noticing before that he had removed his clothing as he ran from the bees, the funny sight distracted him from the half naked Uchiha's body before. But now there was no distraction and Oboro had his undivided attention as he left the confines of the water. The sun reflecting off of his wet body as he started to emerge, and soon enough Shinsui would notice Oboro was only in his briefs. The homosexual Shinobi slash daimyo of Otogakure couldn't help but have blood flow to his face, the warmth of the blood giving him somewhat of a hotflash as his face slowly turned red. The wet briefs allowing for a somewhat clear view of what was going on in the pants of his partner. Black briefs is what he wore however so that at least protected Oboro from completely having his penis clear for the world to see, white briefs wouldn't have gone down so good. The Raikan's hormones shooting through his body as he looked at the half nude slash wet Uchiha partner's body, but he soon turned his head away to avoid any unwanted sexual tension between the heterosexual and homosexual Uchiha and Raikan. Oboro started to talk about the next mission; "Well, we should plant the seeds of a few trees in the area to increase the population of the trees within the vicinity. I assume we can get the seeds from a pinecone or something, however I'm definitely no expert on plants." This allowed Shinsui some time to get himself together and the light shade of red to leave his face. Shinsui replied to what he had said; "Well I know nothing of trees either really, so we'll just do that." He kept it short to avoid any more opportunity for him to see the sexy body of the Uchiha. Luckily Oboro had gotten dressed soon after, putting on his shirt followed with his pants and then shoes. The wolf man was relieved to see his partner had covered up that which made his knees weak.

Shinsui started to pick up a few pinecones from the ground near the trees which they would be using to plant the trees and expand the park more. They had to dig holes for them to plant the seeds in and Shinsui had just what was needed for this job. Shifting his chakra, he would change his body's appearance from his pseudo look to that of his true form; the Alpha.

Spoiler:

His sharp claws would be the perfect tool to be using when it comes to digging these holes for the seeds they were going to be planting. His speed was helping too, the strength within the Raikan head's arms was going to make this mission a peace of cake. The wolf extended his claws outward and bent down to start digging after placing the seeds on the ground. He would dig fifteen holes one by one about the same distance from each other as Oboro's holes which he was digging for his trees. Shinsui dug his claws into the first hole's area, digging his way deep enough for the first seed, though he wouldn't place the seed in just yet. He was going to dig the holes first then place the seeds then close them back up. The second holes was then made, followed up with ten other holes after that. Now that only equals up to twelve holes in total, but that's because Draco also helped by digging up two holes in the time that Shinsui had dug up the twelve holes. He wasn't as fast or as strong as Shinsui so he didn't help as much, be at least he helped the Alpha with his job. Soon enough there would be fifteen holes in a straight line next to each other side by side. A whole new line of trees would be planted here for future generations to enjoy. Or if the two wanted, they could just use their mokuton to make these trees grow now and increase Otogakure's size exponentially. But they wouldn't be doing that right now. Shinsui would then collect the seeds he had previously placed in a bundle on the ground. With that done, he moved from the start of the fifteen holes to the end of the fifteen holes, dropping in a seed in each hole as he blitzed by the fifteen holes. This blinding speed was helping a lot in saving time so they could be finishing these missions up long before nightfall where they would be having their spar.

The next mission on the list was about to commence as they finished the tree planting mission a few moments ago. They were already at the park so it was easier to do this mission before they continued with the other missions. These two mission requirements were to catch some snakes and possums, the zoo was looking to add more to their collection as well as save the animals from nature's harm; being themselves. The snakes and possums didn't really get along so it would be best to have them separated in different area aka the zoo. This would save many snakes and possums' lives. Draco and Shinsui would move with the panda and Oboro further into the park's woods where they would start to search for these animals. His partner the Uchiha suggested he would search for the snakes whilst Shinsui searches for some possums. In order to do this he would need a bag created out of thick material so the possums wouldn't escape nor hurt him or Draco. Shinsui headed out to the shops nearby first before heading into the forest with the rest of the team. He entered one and asked for the specific bag he was looking for, a big sack about the size of the lower half of his body, brown in color and very durable. He explained his reasons for wanting it; to save the animals from the harm of snakes and take them to the zoo, not the whole truth but it was in fact the truth. They gave him the sack and he headed back to the group being Draco, Oboro and the panda.

With the meet up of the team done, they would venture further into the forest they would split up again to do the mission. Oboro heading after the snakes and Shinsui heading after the possums. "Draco, search for some possums and let me know when you find one. Do not engage the target, understand?" Shinsui would speak to his wolf pet as he explained what was going to happen on his part of the search. Shinsui would then head out while Draco headed in another direction, each set for searching for some possums. Shinsui's eyes scoured the area as he walked around the forest of the park. The park was big, no doubt about it. It was the biggest within Otogakure and they would have no problem finding any possums or snakes in the area they were searching. Draco searched around in the bushes, going from bush to bush as he looked for possums that Shinsui could come collect, whilst Shinsui also did this. He walked around, bushes everywhere along with trees and plants as well as some flowers here and there. The park was indeed beautiful. The light from the sun barely making it into the forest, giving them something to help with their search. The rays of light complimented this green eden. However Shinsui couldn't afford to waste time to take in the beauty of this forest. Soon enough he would find his first possum, he opened the bag and held it in one hand. With his superior speed he had as an advantage, he would quickly grab the possum by the neck and throw it into the sack without harming it, before it could do any harm to Shinsui himself. After a few minutes he had found about three more and placed them into the bag. Soon enough Draco would give a loud howl as he also found two. They were searching for food together, probably to take on a bigger predator together. Shinsui rushed to the wolf so he could go get the two possums. As he arrived he would pet Draco for listening well as to not get involved with the two, after which he would then grab them both and throw them into the bag. After closing it tight, he would go search for Oboro and soon enough find him and the panda. They had almost finished their next mission, however it was time to speed things up. "Oboro we need to start doing more at a time again. We still have quite a few left, and the day is going by. If we're to have our spar before tomorrow we would need to do this faster." Shinsui said to his partner.
[1491 WC | 4552 TWC]

Oboro was growing more and more eager to to enact his spar with his Lycan best friend. However, he would have to speed up the amount of missions the two would do in the day before he would be able to fight him. And so he practically teleported to the school to begin teaching the Academy Students how to use a few lower level jutsu. As he stood in front of the class with Shinsui, he demonstrated his ability to cling to surfaces by using his chakra to the walls with his chakra focused on his skin. "You see my friend here and I are very powerful ninja. However, we did not just start this strong. I had to kill many-" He had to cut himself off before he revealed the actions of his childhood to these innocent children. He almost had a slip of the tongue that could have gotten him exterminated form the likes of being a kage. He continued his sentence instantly however. "-terrible grades before graduating from the academy. Learning how tom focus my chakra was the first step of this. Once you can do that, if you focus it in your feet you will even be able to walk on water with little resistance. Any surface is as good as the ground once you have mastered it!" He gave a bright smile with a thumbs up to the children as he flashed his white, pearly teeth to them. A few of the younger girls awed in his presence and he had to admit that it made him blush a bit. He leaned over to Shinsui and whispered, "I feel cute right now..." He wondered if Akira had the ability to grow jealous of prepubescent children as they gawked over the pale hunk of flesh. His cheeks turned red as he forced himself to look away from all the children. They burned like a fire and so he talked to the sensei of the class to convince the group to go and practice their chakra control in the outdoors. It was time to go off on another adventure.

The two made their way to the houses that would be holding the dogs they would be walking. The owners were, as usual, fat hunks of lard that were just too lazy to walk their own dogs. He had to admit that he was slightly disappointed with the fact that these dogs were forced to live in such conditions, however this made him happy to be able to allow them into the outside world with the two of them. He looked at Shinsui and made a remark that could be found as somewhat offensive. "Is it your Lycan DNA that makes dogs want to hump your legs?" He snickered to himself as he expected some witty retort.

As they walked, Oboro would goof around with Shinsui. While he was the leader of the village, he was also still a teenager. The man of only nineteen would naturally make dirty jokes and sexual remarks with his best friend. Any other time, he never really had a friend to talk about this kind of stuff with. While he felt no direct impact by it, it warmed his heart a bit to know that there was someone he could trust not to slice his neck as soon as he turned around. It was a good comfort knowing that someone was there for you no matter what, as if nothing could pull them apart. "Okay lets go to the barn now. May as well pick up the dogs before we take them for a walk. Can take them to the barn with us while we clean the horses. We need to feed the pigs too." He smiled as he walked toward the large red barn off in the distance. As the wind blew, the air filled his nostrils with the smell of fresh wheat and barley. He felt the wind tingle on his skin as the breeze felt so perfect. He decided that today was such a nice day that he would remove his shirt and allow the air to cool his flesh from under the hot sunlight. He removed is tunic after taking Oona from within the pocket that she was resting. Her eyes were now bright as she looked up at her owner. She was beginning to gain a soft spot in her heart and did not want to lose her any time soon. Perhaps he would keep Oona and find a new pet to sell. But in that case, he would likely grow attached to the one he gets as well .His life was so full of tricky decisions. However, as of now his primary concern was of the barn that was now only a few feet in front of them. After greeting the farmers, the two made their way to the horses and Oboro himself began to brush the fur of the large mammals. He ran the brush along the long brown hair of the largest of the horses, which seemed to be a mare. It had bright brown eyes and a gorgeous blonde mane, however it seemed as if it could trample a man in half a second if it needed to. He did not fear this stallion, but he admired its ability to kill should it need to. It was a bit like himself. However, he did fear himself as well as all of his capabilities. His apathetic sense of others caused a genuine problem within his consciousness. He was not a bad man, however he would not pity the men he killed. It was bit urgent to his soul, though he was unsure how to hinder the flames of his spirit.

After he finished cleaning the mare, he put the feed bag over he face to allow he a bit of a snack. However, it was not his job to feed her, it was only something he desired to do. He moved over to the pigs pen and found where their slop bucket was. He had no clue where he was supposed to get slops so he was forced to go to the farm house and ask the lady where they could find teh pig feed. She told them that it would likely be behind the rooster coop, where they kept most of the food other than  horse feed. He didn't agree with the way things were organized, though he would not argue with the woman. With the the bucket of slops in hand, alongside Shinsui, he poured the pig food, which in reality just a bunch of food that the farm house had not eaten, into the large bowl thing. The pigs viciously raced each other to the slops and began to devour the contents of the container. Greedy, the whole lot of em. He shook his head as the pigs took their "claims".

It was time for he and Shinsui to leave and continue on with a new set of missions. The two would first return teh pups that they brought with them to the owners that would likely hire the same two to walk their dogs once more. Oboro spat on one of the owners doorsteps after they refused to take their own dog out from time to time. The thought of being that lazy was absolutely ridiculous to Oboro. He himself spent two hours a day simply working his body and pushing it to the extreme. He was able to break rocks much larger than himself, and they had the nerve to never take their dog on a walk. Pitiful villagers is what they were.

Now that it was time for another mission, Oboro would sweep the streets with his partner Shinsui. The regular street sweepers supplied the both of them with rather large push brooms and allowed the two to take care of about one hundred yards each,. This was not too difficult, however the concrete that the walkways pushed in the opposite direction of the broom itself. IT made the taks a bit more difficult in the sense that it required a bit more force to continue moving the excess dirt as well as the trash. Rather than dusting up the dirt piles, they would move the small mounds and spread them around the area making them seem natural. However, they did indeed pick up the smaller pieces of plastic that were in the area. After cleaning a whole park, he would not allow such litter to go unattended as such. He made sure that he himself was the one to inform the others around them not to litter as well, or they would be fined a taxation for the village. It was a bit dumb that people thought they could just make the village look like a dump and get away with it. It was a bit pathetic. He frowned on those who thought this was acceptable and took a mental note of anything that they had done should their name strike his memory in such a situation similar. Such a disgusting lot of people, the all of them. However, he had no time to think of such things as he scorned himself for not supplying enough derogative for people to clean up after themselves. He shook his head as he returned the broom to the man who had given it and gave him a sincere thanks. The man was doing more for the village in a day than most people were doing so in their lives. He real;y did appreciate people who were willing to preserve the beauty of the place they all decided to call home long ago.

That was when he heard a scream from a voice that sounded extremely familiar. It sounded exactly like little Mikey's mother. It was probably because it was little Mikey's mother! She was yelling once again because like he did nearly every other week, Mikey had run off from home and not told his mother where. She never even called him a delinquent for it and perhaps that was the reason why. "Oh Oboro!" She would say as she cried and ran towards the man.  this was pretty much how it happened every single time Mikey ran off. "He's off and done it once again. Little Mikey ran off and I still don't know why he's doing this..." She wept into the shoulder of the man and looked over it at Shinsui with bright blue eyes, glistening like only a mother's would. Tears ran down her face and soaked the still nude shoulder of the Otokage. 'Women these days... always so clingy towards men. Whether it be their son, husband or anyone else.' However this made him think of Akira and how much he missed her already. He wondered if she would visit again soon and had an odd sense of arousal come about him all of a sudden. This was just a distraction to himself. He left the woman in his thoughts as well as the one just before him to go off and find the boy known as Little Jimmy. He would not call the boys name nor would he have to scour the city to find th lad. The boy went to the same place every single time. He would be hanging out at the abandoned carnival in the north part of town, that much was always the same. The hard part was convincing the boy to follow him back each time. He would normally coax the boy with chocolates or a new toy to get him to come back. A part of him believed that perhaps Mikey was just doing this so he could get gifts as he came back home. He grinned to himself as he thought of it. The boy could just be throwing the charade each time to pull one over on his mother to get what he wanted when he normally would be unable to do so. However, upon bounding his way to the amusement park this time, the boy seemed to be crying. Oboro and shin would make their entrance and try to talk to the lad. "What's wrong little man? Having a rough day?" Oboro would ask the boy. Mikey looked up at him and explained what was wrong. Some bullies seemed to beat him up, which was clear as he raised his shirt and revealed a few bruises on his torso. That just absolutely wouldn't work. However it did give Oboro an idea. He asked Shinsui to stay with Mikey while he ran back to his place for a moment. With Oona in one hand and his clothes in another, he sprinted off to the direction of his own home. It only took him a few moments to arrive but on the way he couldn't understand why the boy would let a few other people such as some mediocre bullies push him around. When Oboro himself was at the same age, he had already killed his kin. However, he did indeed understand that some did not have the strengths to stick up for themselves. Most of the people within the village were perfect examples of this case as they lacked teh strength to save themselves should someone invade. The villages only real defenses were that of Oboro and Shinsui themselves seeing as no strong ninja ever desired to join forces with "The disgusting Otogakure" or "The Snakes". It was bit disappointing in reality. Ever since Orochimaru founded the place they were seen as less than the scum of the world due to the fact that their creator was just that. But in all honesty, he had to admin that he did indeed admire the likes of Orochimaru, as he was one of the most powerful ninja to ever come into existence. Though, there were those immensely more powerful than that of the Sannin. Teh greatest example was that of his ancestral grandfather, Madara Uchiha. He was said to be the second strongest Uchiha of all times, behind only that of Sasuke Uchiha. He had to admit, he preferred Madara more. Perhaps it was the appearance or the presence of the Rinnegan in each eye, though he did admire him quite a lot. He stopped his mind from wondering as he had finally reached his destination: his home. He opened the door and called for Hobbes who immediately leapt out and ran to him. He shut the door behind the tiger and bolted back for the amusement park with Hobbes right behind him. He had a big smile on his face as he thought of Madara Uchiha. Perhaps he would ask Shinsui to transform his image to that of Madara. While he was indeed quite a dashing man, he was unsure if he wanted to completely change his entire image simply to strike fear into the heart of others. He smiled at the thought. Perhaps he could simply create an entirely different person in order to look as if he was Madara.

It wasn't long before he had finally made it back to the park, now with both animals. "Mikey, this is Hobbes. Hobbes, Mikey. He's my pet tiger. From now on, Hobbes is going to watch over you while he's not out on missions with me. But only on one condition, be kind to your mother." Oboro smiled and tufted the hair on the boys head and left before the boy could deny the statement. Hobbes knew to obey his master's order and would stay with the boy while he was not with Oboro himself. However, before they left, Mikey slipped a small box into the hand of Oboro and said nothing of it. Oboro assumed it was a gift. At least he didn't know what it was until a courier came running at him at top speed. "A little kid stole a package from me ! It has to be delivered right away. I dunno what I'm going to do Lord Otokage..." Oboro looked in his hand at the small package and gave it to the courier with a wink. He was now off to finish the last few missions. First he had to cut the grass but considering there were two of them, it wasn't too difficult at all to complete four yards. They would simply do two each adn cash in that mission before anyone could stop them

The sun was beginning to set in the west and so Oboro knew it was about time the two started wrapping things up. He met up with a local sushi owner who needed a large shipment of fish delivered across town before the night ended. The only issue was that they needed two! So he and shinsui each grabbed a cart and sprinted off into the distance. Oboro treated it like a race, though he was sure that Shinsui could indeed beat him in the race, and so he did not verbally mention that it would be a race. He simply ran as fast as he possibly could off to the destination. However, he made it there just in time for the owner of the second shop to say that the wheel on their cart was busted. And so they would have to fix the wheel. Though that was absolutely no problem when you possessed the worlds strongest adhesive at your fingertips. He simply used an intricate pattern of bungee gomu to place the wheel back on the axle without it causing the wheel to hinder its single ability to turn. He ran around in a circle a few times with the cart behind him just to be sure that it would move normally. It was a bit lucky that Oboro knew the mechanics of all simple machines as well as had the ability to repair many of the more intricate ones. It was not too difficult once you had the right mindset. And now he could spend the remainder of the afternoon patrolling the village with Shinsui.

"You know, we're two complete opposites you and I. You're a dog person, I'm, a cat person. All of our combat specialties are different. It kind of makes me wonder why I hold you so close in my heart." He looked into the wolf's eyes as he said this, Oona squirmed in his pocket as hen spoke. He felt oddly intimate, but that moment ended as he saw someone in the background that he hand not seen in the village before. Immediately, Kyoko ran up behind Oboro and whispered in his ear. "L-lord Otokage... That man that you just spotted... He's not part of this village but he's masked as one of us. He seems to be rather strong..." Oboro looked at Shinsui and nodded before standing.

All Missions complete
.

After the two dropped off the snakes and possums, they were paid for both missions as the two traded some snakes and possums with each other so both could hand in some of each of the two species. They would then continue to head on to the next mission; the ninja academy located a few blocks away from where they were now. Draco still walking happily by his side and the panda with Oboro. When they arrived, the two would give a good demonstration of how to use the wall walking technique as well as explain to the class how it worked and that it could be used on most surfaces, if not any. The two then continued on to the next mission at hand, making this a quick runthrough of their last few missions they had to do. They each collected two dogs to walk from these fat dog owners. Oboro was stupid enough to make a comment on Shinsui's Raikan genes. "Oboro you know I don't like that." He would say with a serious tone to his voice as he looked at his partner with an even more serious facial expression. If looks could kill then Oboro would have been long dead by now. The two however returned to a new setting of emotions as they walked the dogs and goofed around and made dirty jokes and sexual remarks with each other. Their relationship was indeed a special one. Only true friends could hate each other one moment and then make jokes about stuff the next. What was a relationship without ups and downs anyway? Shinsui grew more fond of his partner during this time, their friendship growing better. Maybe they didn't even have to sort things out with a fight.. After all Oboro was now the only friend he had left, and he was a good friend. They were doing all of this while walking towards the barn where they would be doing another mission, using the distance towards the barn as a route for walking the dogs. They were combining some missions so it would go by faster and they could get their money even faster.

The two had to clean some of the horses and feed the smelly pigs located on the farm. With the buckets of water in hand they would clean the horses and their stables as well as head towards the pigs where they would gather some more buckets containing the pig's feed in it. Draco was tempted to kill one of these nice smelling pigs, by nice I mean meaty. Oh how this wolf enjoyed his bacon.. But Shinsui would simply give him one of those looks that screamed "Don't even think about it". The wolf backed up and took his seat on the ground by placing his ass flat, using his two front feet to balance him. Shinsui and Oboro would then continue by throwing the feed into the pig's housings. The dogs they walked previously were placed on leashes by the barn to keep them from running away which meant Shinsui and Oboro would loose ryo if they did, as well as a fine from the police. After the farm was done they would head back to the dogs' owners with the dogs on their leash taking them for another walk. This would be giving the dogs another opportunity to get some exercise in and release more of that extra energy they ha built up. When they were done with that they would head on to the next mission at hand; sweeping these dusty streets. They were provided with a broom each. Draco would head on to pick some of the trash up with his mouth to help somewhat. The two started their sweep of the streets with these big ass brooms as Draco continued to pick some trash from the ground. After a while of sweeping they were done. However it wasn't stopping there, they heard a women scream. Oboro seemed to know very well who it was. This boy seemed to be running from home a lot and Oboro retrieved him quite a few times, and today they would be doing it together.

Oboro seemed to know exactly where the boy likes to hide out at, the abandoned carnival. They headed over there through the streets of Otogakure, taking a jog as they headed there. Shinsui and Oboro as well as Draco and the little panda cub arrived on the scene where the boy was. Oboro started to talk to the boy, all nice and stuff, but Shinsui found it disrespectful for the boy to do this so he had Oboro do all the talking. Oboro would then leave for his house and asked Shinsui to stay with the boy so he did. He might be a brat but it wasn't safe for a kid to be out here all alone. Besides who would attack the boy if Shinsui was there? The only one in Otogakure who could stand a chance against Shinsui was Oboro. The two made a perfect team, Team Sound if you will. After waiting for a while and getting bored Shinsui would start to make some conversation with the boy however it didn't last long as Oboro had came back from his house with Hobbes. He offered to have Hobbes protect the boy during the times he wasn't doing missions with Oboro. Shinsui would notice Oboro had trained Hobbes as well, the tiger had gotten bigger just like Draco. The two were happy to see each other again, Draco and Hobbes that is. After the reunion was done the mission would be completed as the boy agreed to go home with a smile on his brat face. Though he handed a package to Oboro, and soon enough someone would come running and screaming that the boy stole the package, it seems they had completed two missions with one attempt, a lucky break. Oboro handed the package back to the courier and they would then head on to the next and last few missions of the day. This was finally coming to an end soon and Shinsui was happy about that to say the least, all these irritating little jobs took a lot out of him and he needed some rest. "I don't think we have to fight any time soon Oboro, we can do this tomorrow." He would say as he thought more about the subject of fighting Oboro. The two had gotten closer throughout this long day with each other, bonding happened and feelings were getting better about the Zanji subject.

The two grabbed some lawn mowers and started to mow the long grass of these four lawns. Each of them had two lawns to mow, and it was almost time for the sun to start setting. Shinsui would grab his lawn mower and start it up. With his pattern of walking up and down he cleared the first lawn in a few minutes, then he would head over to the second lawn and repeat that pattern. Soon enough both his lawns would be done as well as Oboro's lawns so their mission here was done and they headed on to the last set of missions now that the sun was starting to set and night was on its way. The two met up with the shop owner of a Sushi shop, Shinsui was a big fan of Sushi but Draco didn't seem to like the fish. The only thing he really liked was bacon so Shinsui removed some bacon treats from his pocket and gave them all to Draco. He hadn't eaten since this morning and was quite hungry. The bacon was being devoured as the two shinobi listened to the shop owner's instructions. They each grabbed a cart and headed on to their next destination. Oboro was running at full speed however Shinsui didn't know this was a race and just kept his speed at Oboro's own pace, not using his full speed. When they arrived the other shop owner told them about the busted wheels so they quickly had to fix their wheels if they were to finish these missions. Shinsui would listen to some of the instructions Oboro had given him, he himself knew little of things like this so it was lucky that Oboro had some experience with this, even if it was just a little, it helped them. Now that that was done they had finally completed all but one mission. Draco and Shinsui would head out with Oboro and the panda to scout the village and the village borders for any intruders or what seemed to be something dangerous. Oboro would say some heartfelt words as they started their scout, and it made Shinsui think even more about their friendship and he started to realize that he couldn't hate Oboro for killing Zanji.. It was impossible. Oboro was a true friend to Shinsui, and after today they were much more closer than before. "I feel the same Oboro." He would say with a soft smile on his face as he looked at his Uchiha partner standing next to him. Soon enough Kyoko would come running and whisper in Oboro's ear. With his enhanced hearing he heard everything, with that he would confirm the sensor's words as he took a deep breath through his nose, taking in the man's scent. It was clearly not of Otogakure, though it was a mix, as if he doesn't belong to any village, or he just likes to travel A LOT. "This is true." Shinsui would say at Oboro.
