==Title: Itsumo collecting Toad OilEdit==
IItsumo: -Itsumo’s clone sat in the office looking over the Mission requests that kept coming in. She had so many lower level requests but not enough teams open to take them at the time that she figured she could handle doing a lower ranking mission herself. She was flipping through them to see if any of them were needed as soon as possible when she came a crossed one from the general store in Yonshigakure. The request was to bring toads in so that they could extract the oil for toad oil. This was important for the village not only so that the store had the supply but also because toad oil played a key role in some jutsus. She read the request in more detail the request asked that they bring in as many different colored toads as could be found so that there would be different colors of oil to choose from. Itsumo knew a lot of toads hoped around the pound outside of the Kage building so she knew she wouldn’t have to go far from her office to complete this task either. After she fully read the mission slip over she would set it into her pocket and get to her feet. She was already dressed in her normal outfit. White long pants, a tight white top that covered only where she needed to be covered and her panda mask that covered her entire face. Wrapped around her neck and up over the mask covering the mouth and nose of the mask was an all-white scarf. Her long pale blonde hair was tied up into a ponytail on the top of her head but it still cascaded down her back and over her shoulders in lose curls. She dusted herself off looking down to make sure her leg straps where in place before walked over and picked up a glass jar from her shelf.  She then climbed out the window of her office not wanting to use the door and stepped out onto the roof of the lower level of the building. She looked out over the pond before body flickering down to the narrow bridge that crossed the entire length of the pond.- 
IItsumo:-Itsumo waited on the bridge for a moment before walking to the far end of the bridge away from the Kage building to the back bank of the pond. It was where she had remembered seeing the most toads hopping about. After a few moments she reached the bank and looked around for some toads. She only saw three different color toads hopping about the back side of the pond. There was a blue toad, a purple toad and two yellow toads all spread out along the back side of the pond. She set the jar down on the post of the bridge opening the lid so that she would be able to put the first toad in quickly before preparing herself to go after one of the yellow toads. She didn’t need hand seals to preform body flicker so in a blink of an eye she was right behind the yellow toad to catch it. Itsumo however had landed in a puddle of muddy giving away to the toad that she was there and it was able to jump out of the way into the pond in front of her. Itsumo would sigh softly as she shook her head.- *Genin Mistake*-She thought to herself as she took her foot out of the puddle and shook it off. She looked around to see where the other yellow toad was and once she spotted it she surveyed the ground for a dry spot close enough for her to land that it wouldn’t be alerted. Once she found one she body flickered once more near the toad and was able to grab the yellow toad into her hands. It was slippery but she was able to keep ahold of it as she walked back to the jar and placed the yellow toad into the jar and then quickly placed the lid on it. She then looked around to see where the Blue toad had gotten to.-
IItsumo:-It didn’t take Itsumo long before she spotted the blue toad again hopping along the bank she watched its movements for a little bit and was then able to count how long its hops were. She was able to judge after only a few seconds how far each jump was and how long it took the frog to land so that she knew where its next hop would place it. She watched as the toad readied itself to jump once more and as it did she would make her move and body flicker catching the blue toad mid hop. She then turned and walked back to the jar keeping the blue toad tucked in her left hand so that she would be able to open the jar with her right hand and shove the toad into the jar. Once she reached where the jar was she took her right hand and unscrewed the lid quickly shoving the blue toad into the jar with the yellow one both croaking loudly unhappy to be captured. She then replaced the lid and let out a soft sigh and thinking to herself.- *well that is two down* -She glanced around to see where the purple toad had gotten to. She saw it just about to hope into the water and quickly body flickered trying to catch it before it made it. Her hand just barely caught the edge of its webbed foot and the toad was able to slip away into the murky pond water. She sighed and shook her head walking back over to the jar and picking it back up as she headed around to the left side of the pond to see if she could find anymore toads.- 
IItsumo:-As she walked along the bank to the left side of the pond where the memorial tree for the fallen Kage stood she smiled at the tree before placing the jar on one of the benches that sat near the tree. She then walked up a little distance from the bench and spotted another purple toad this time she was ready for it as it wasn’t hopping it was sitting on a small rock just off the bank. She readied herself and then body flickered right behind the toad reaching down and grabbing it in her left hand. The toad let out a loud croak and wiggled trying to slip away but she didn’t let it get the best of her this time. She shook her head at the toad and walked back to the jar with it. Taking her right hand the one that was not holding the toad she opened the jar and quickly placed the third toad inside with the other two toads before placing the lid back on the jar as quickly as possible. There were now three toads in the jar, A Yellow toad, a blue toad and now a purple toad. They were not huge toads but big enough to get small jars of Toad oil out of them and so that they would fit into the Large jar without squishing each other to much for now.  She paused for a moment then walked back down the bank looking for more toads. After a few moments and just past the place where she had just found and caught the purple toad she spotted a brown toad stretched out laying on the bank. It didn’t look dead but the toad wasn’t moving much it looked as if it was sleeping. Itsumo slowly approached the toad and was about to grab it when it croaked and hopped between her feet. Thankful the toad had hopped in the opposite direction of the water so she turned quickly and faced the toad once more it was hopping slowly so she was able to catch up to it and catch it easily in her left hand. She then walked back to the jar and opened the jar with her right hand and placed the toad inside quickly replacing the lid and thinking to herself. - *Four down*-
IItsumo:-After a small pause Itsumo made her way back up the bank looking for more toads she spotted two small  black toads sitting together on the bank in a puddle of mud she knew that her chances of catching both of the toads was slim but she needed at least one of them. She would take her chances and hope one of the two toads would hop away from the water she took the chances and aimed for the smaller of the two black toads and then body flickered after the toads. When her feet hit the ground she made a splash in the mud and the black toad got hit with a splatter of mud as she gripped it the now small muddy black toad slipped from her grip and into the water. The second black toad hopped away in the direction of the rocks. Itsumo watched it hop and judged it before body flickering again and catching the slightly bigger small black toad in her left hand mid hop. She nodded her head having caught a fifth toad she made her way back to the jar having to open it even more quickly and place the black toad in with the others before replacing the lid and heading back out to look for more toads. It was actually right where she had found the purple toad that she spotted a bright orange toad sitting on the same rock and she smiled.-*what were the chances*- she thought to herself as she used the same trick she had been using on all the toads. She body flickered up behind the toad and grabbed it in her left hand and holding onto it tightly. She made her way back to the jar and again opened it with her right hand placed the toad in and then closed the jar. She now had six toads, a yellow one, a blue one, a purple one, a brown one, a black one and an orange one. She didn’t have much room left in the jar but she could at least fit one or two more toads in the jar so she kept looking for more toads.-
IItsumo:-Itsumo took the jar with her as she looked this time and after a few moments she finally spotted two more toads they were both different colors and they were sitting in a littler cavern in the large rocks off to the side of the pond. They had themselves cornered in the cavern so she wouldn’t have a hard time catching them both easily especially since she had the jar with her. She approached the two toad one of them red and the other green slowly and cautiously she knelt down blocking their only escape as she grabbed the red toad first with her left hand and opened the jar with her right putting the toad inside. She only placed the lid on top of the jar and held it in place with her right hand as she reached with her left hand for the green toad and picked it up. She lifted the lid with her right hand and placed the toad inside and then screwed the lid on tight. There was no more room in the jar if she had placed anymore toads in the jar they would surely squish each other and die and seeing as she had caught eight toads and only missed four toads while attempted to catch all of them she thought her luck was pretty good for the day and having been away from the office for over an hour and a half judging by the way the sun now hit the middle of the sky she made her way to the General store to give them the toads. Once inside the store she set the jar of toads on the counter and explained to the clerk that she had done the mission for them and collected eight toads all different colors for them. The clerk thanked her and asked to sign the paper to show that the mission had been completed Itsumo wanted to laugh but she handed over the mission sheet none the less for the lady to sign and then left the general store. She body flickered back to the roof of her office and went inside through the window once more. Her feet covered in mud she slipped off her dirty sandals and made her way to her desk to file the mission away as complete.-
==End Results:Edit==
Itsumo collected all eight colored toads and turned them into the Store clerk to complet the mission.
