Mission Log
Zao Nara
-Zao woke up in what seemed to be the middle of the night. He looked around seeing nothing but was a pile of sweat. He couldn’t remember the dream he had or what might have happened but all he knew was that his body was hurting his heart was racing and his body was sweating. He removed his clothing and walked into the shower and turned the cold water on. “what was that all about” he thought to himself he didn’t know what was wrong with him maybe he was sick and came down with something. Zao finished his shower feeling better but his head hurt lightly. He remembered feeling this pain last time when he was fighting that other ninja from the leaf in the woods when he was cut and this voice talked to him in his head that he ignored. “hm ..” Zao got dressed quick with the same attire as if it was brand new and clean witch it wasn’t. The sun was rising from the gates and he quickly turned the nob on his curtain to stop its rays from blinding him like always. He walked to the kitchen area and looked around for a quick snack. He couldn’t find anything at all. He stood up seeing a letter on the table like last time from his mission he just got home from “oh come on man..” he picked up the paper and read it.-
 “Greetings young Nara. This letter is from the kage of the hidden leaf. I wish to inform you that we have another mission ready for you to be completed alone. In this mission an elderly man by the name of Cho was taken by a group of bandits located in the north side of the leaf. Its your job to travel there and retrieve him. It is likely the bandits will give you a little trouble but be careful. Remember we expect nothing but the best. And remember this is a single mission so use your skill wisely. Good luck young Genin .. please report to me after this mission is completed and also you will be lead to the location by Chūjitsuna my wolf .. he does not play around .. report to me when this is done thank you” 
-Zao ripped the paper up and threw it in the trash as he was making his way to the door. He dropped the papers lightly and they flew into the trash. He opened his door and forgot about the sun vs the dark room theory and the sun won this time again. It blinded his eyes again causing them to shrink but reform when closed and covered. “god damn sun..” Zao laughed and thought to himself. Zao jumped down from his building and the people on the balcony knew that this little ninja the only ninja in the building was off again on one of his “wild adventures”. Zao landed on his feet he started to talk to the gates of the village wondering about the wolf that was mentioned in the letter but as he passed all the shops and food markets he noticed a dog like wolf body by the gates laying there it was large bigger than any other wolf he has seen. It had gay and black fur and as Zao got closer to the wolf it opened its eyes witch were blue. The wolf looked at him kind of funny with a tilted head. “the kage told me you would lead me to the old man known as Cho..” the wolf looked at him as if it was trying to talk telepathically. “”well .. lets go..” Zao said at the wolf. Chūjitsuna turned around and was getting ready to run off. Zao was glad that it was only morning this made his shadows still useable by the time they got there. Zao and Chūjitsuna were off running into the woods going at a fair speed passing all the dark and light trees in the woods he paid attention to the sun and its location to use it to his advantage. He looked back as he jumped over logs and rocks following Chūjitsuna to see how far they were out of the village. He couldn’t see the gates anymore so he knew they were going to get closer. Zao jumped off a log and then grabbing onto the branch of a tree landing on a rock and flipping off landing next to Chūjitsuna who stopped moving and looked in one direction. “So were here” Zao whispered lightly so he wasn’t heard. “Okay .. I know what to do .. get him to surround you .. and I will take care of the rest.” Chūjitsuna looked at Zao as if he was to say it was a bad idea but Chūjitsuna did it. Zao didn’t want to harm anyone he knew that the old man was some were around there and knew that he would stick out like a sour thumb. Chūjitsuna jumped into the camp ground that they didn’t take the time to watch and gain any info on but Zao liked to be on his toes better then knowing what he was doing. In no time Chūjitsuna found himself surrounded by the bandits and Zao was in a tree watching. He looked up at the sun and was able to see all 5 of their shadows leading away from their body since the sun was facing directly down on them. Zao took out 5 Kunais and charged them with his chakra he was planning to use the skill his been working on where he applies chakra to his kunais and pierces ones shadow to hold them still but this was being done with 5 people. He aimied the kunais perfectly at the 5 shadows and jumped up from the tree in midair over them all and threw the kunais before anything was known or seen as the kunais hit there shadows they all looked up and laughed and one man even said “YOU MISSED KID!” and laughed. Zao landed in the middle with Chūjitsuna. “oh .. did I now?” all the men tried to move to attack the boy and the wolf but they couldn’t move “now you can see how it feels to be held by your own will .. oh and ill be taking the old man with me .. and sending others back for you .. next time don’t steel what doesn’t belong to you ..” Zao and Chūjitsuna walked right pasted the stuck men. And the old man walked out of a hut and was happy to see a ninja with a leaf headband “im here to bring you home Mr Cho” the old man nodded and walked by his side. Zao looked behind and knew that he added enough chakra to the kunais to keep the stuck there till the shadow was gone. Chūjitsuna lead Zao and Cho back to the village gates in no time. To Zao it always seemed that the way back was always faster than the travel itself. They arrived to the gates and the old man was happy to see the land of the leaf. “I must repot this to the kage ASAP Cho your free to go back to doing what you were doing” Zao left Cho and went with Chūjitsuna passing all the food and huts again and passing his building. He walked up these long stairs and looked at Chūjitsuna and noticed the hokage outside of her home. “Ms Hokage .. ” Zao ran with Chūjitsuna and stopped in front of her but before he talked he put his to fingers to his face and the others bended causing the shadows that he was still in control of, of the 5 bandits he caused them all to link  using a skill from the nara clan called the black spider lily and then using his main shadow skill called neck binding technique witch caused the shadow to crawl up the legs of the bandits and form a hand around there necks and take their breath away to near death causing a knock out. Zao moved his hands and Chūjitsuna watched him. “Mr Cho is back and doing his things and as for the bandits .. there were I left them waiting to be picked up .. oh .. and you can keep the kunais” Zao smiled and was off back in the location of his apartment.-
