As dawn broke over Konohagakure, the first rays of sunlight filtered through the window of Hayato Uchiha's bedroom, painting the walls in a warm golden hue. Hayato slowly awake, as he looked at his clock and realized he had overslept. Today was the day of his first mission as a , and he was dangerously close to missing it.
"Hayato!" a firm voice called from the doorway, breaking through his panicked thoughts. It was his grandmother, walking into his bedroom seeing him in a hurry getting ready for the day. "Grandma, I overslept! I have to go now." His grandmother approached with a knowing smile, a tray in hand with a simple breakfast of toast and tea. "Well you better hurry then." she said gently, placing the tray on his bedside table. "But don't forget to eat something before you go." With a nod of gratitude, Hayato grabbed a slice of toast, hastily taking a bite as he opened the window. The cool morning breeze hit him as he leaped through the window, his feet landing on the tiled roof below. Balancing precariously on the edge, Hayato took another quick bite of toast before stuffing the rest into his mouth as he made his way down onto the street of Konohagakure.
With the taste of toast still lingering on his tongue, Hayato navigated his way through the bustling streets, he could feel the weight of his first mission already weighing on him. Villagers hurried past, as Hayato weaved through the crowd, his mind focused on reaching the academy before it was too late. The familiar sight of the academy building came into view, as he finally made it there. Pushing open the doors, Hayato stepped into the academy's main hall. He searched the large hall looking for anyone who would be waiting to brief him on the misson. "Ah, there you are, Hayato." a voice called out from across the hall. It was his sensei, standing beside some other shinobi. "I was beginning to think you might have slept through your first mission."
Hayato approached his sensei with a large smile and heavy breathing. "I wouldn't dream of it, sensei. I'm ready for whatever mission you have for me!" His sensei nodded approvingly. "Good. As this is your first mission, it is tradition for the Hokage to give a Genin their first mission report. She should be waiting for you in her office up the stairs."

Heading back into the streets of Konohagakure, Hayato kept a keen eye out for any signs of the missing cat. He questioned passersby and scanned every alley and corner, hoping to catch a glimpse of this so called Mister Whiskers. After what felt like hours of useless searching, Hayato heard the sound of meowing coming from a nearby alleyway and he hurried towards the sound, convinced that he had finally found the missing cat. "Mister Whiskers?" He said, as he rounded the corner into the narrow alley, his hopes were crushed when he realized that the meowing wasn't coming from one single cat, but rather from a group of wild cats lurking in the shadows. Before Hayato could react, the cats spotted him and let out a collection of hisses and growls. "Oh, you are not Mister Whiskers.."
The group of cats traced him out of the alleyway onto the main streets. Dodging trash cans and leaping over obstacles, he dashed through the alleyway in a comical chase that drew stares from multiple bystanders. Finally, after what felt like a long time, Hayato had escaped from the group of cats running after him. Frustration boiled within Hayato as he walked through the streets, his failed attempt to find Mister Whiskers gnawing at him. "What a waste of time." He grumbled to himself, his disappointment shown in his bod language. "I'm done with this mission!" Hayato exclaimed into the sky.
Hayato made his way to the address listed in the mission details, his steps sluggish with defeat. As he approached the house, he saw a familiar grey cat sitting nonchalantly on the doorstep, grooming its fur. Hayato's facial expression changed to that of defeat. "Mister Whiskers?" Hayato picked up the cat as he continues, "You really know how to keep a shinobi on his toes, don't you?" As he knocked on the door of the house and greeted the owners with their missing cat. The owner's face broke into a wide smile as they reached out to take their cat. "Thank you so much, Hayato! You've saved the day." Hayato's chest swelled with pride at the owner's words, and with a pride look on his face says "Tch you know only the best Shinobi could accomplish such a task!"
Hayato made his way back to the academy to report the successful completion of his first assignment. His first mission as a Genin may have had its ups and downs, but in the end, the mission was succesful. Entering the main hall once again, Hayato sought out his sensei, who stood conversing with another group of shinobi. With a confident stride, Hayato approached, a satisfied smirk on his lips. "Sensei!" He announced proudly, holding up the picture of the cat, "mission accomplished."
After completing his mission and reporting back to his sensei, Hayato felt an urge within his heart, a familiar longing to visit his father's final resting place. With his first mission under his belt, he felt compelled to share the news with the one person who had always believed in him. As he approached the familiar headstone, adorned with the Uchiha crest, he couldn't help but feel an ache of sadness at the memory of his father's absence. Kneeling before the grave. "I wanted to tell you about my first mission as a genin. It wasn't what I expected, but I did it. I found a missing cat and returned him safely to his owner." As Hayato poured out his heart to his father's grave, his emotions almost overwhelmed him. Tears welled in his eyes, blurring his vision as he struggled to find the words to express the depth of his feelings. "I hope... I hope you're proud of me dad" Hayato spoke out, his voice thick with emotion. Tears trickled down his cheeks. "I want to make you proud.. And become just as strong as you one day! I promise you that!"
