IzzyDaPada: -The
sun was rising higher in the east as Masami stood near the mission board eyeing
the flapping papers on the board… The jounin would be wearing her mask that
covered her mouth per-usual, the giant scythe on her back loomed over her
casting a menacing shadow on the board in front of her, her packs holding her
other needed shinobi materials at her back and attached to her right thigh.
Masami would brush a piece of her hair back over her shoulder to rejoin the
rest of her purple hair that was in a high pony tail. Her red eyes would glance
over one in particular and tare the piece of paper off the board…- “I guess
this will do…” -Reading over the material, Masami glanced up looking over the
gathering crowd of villagers wondering when and where the individual she was
waiting for would show up.-
StevieSkies: [❄] Jinta was still recovering from his black eye, but it was
not affecting him all too bad. His vision returned to being clear, and it was a
lot less puffy then before. Looking at it in the mirror before he left, he
sighed at how purple and shiny it was under and around his right eye. He was
totally embarrassed by it. Per usual, Jinta wore a black top that was
sleeveless and well fitted, with two silver-zippers on it for show. His pants
and sandals were also black, though he wore white leather gloves that were
fingerless to break up all the dreary. Over the traditional pouches, Jinta
preferred to carry his tools in a belt with two large pouches on his hips. In
them, he carried a large quantity of senbon, a kunai, small scroll, smoke bomb,
and his set of iron fans. Today he was assigned to do another mission with a
Jonin who was selected by Lady Shikage. Being her pupil, he knew she’d always
have her eye out for him, so this must be a pretty cool Jonin to head out with.
Jinta assumed he had to have some kind of status as the only Yonshi genin to
become chunin in the past exams, but he personally didn’t know what the local
gossip was about all that. Someone had to be envious of it though. He smirked at
the thought, but kept walking out of the house, heading to the mission board.
The person he figured he’d be with stuck out, since she was pretty tall
compared to him, and had a big ol’ scythe on her back. Jinta asked politely,
“Hello miss, sorry to bother, but are you the Jonin assigned to do a mission
with Jinta Yuki?” He’d blink and look up to her. If her answer was a yes, he’d
follow up by informing her that he was in fact Jinta, and ask her, “Well, what
are we doing?” In a positive tone. [❄]
IzzyDaPada: -Catching her attention, Masami looked in
the direction of where the individual addressing her. She would scan the young
man thoroughly and land back on his face and the black eye that caught her
attention. The woman’s visible facial features would curve into a questioning
look, but a smile would appear under her mask, “Yes I am… Pleasure to finally
meet one of the chunins around here… I’m Chinoike Masami…” –Extending out her
armor clad hand, Masami showed him the mission “Searching for the Jounin” page
she had torn down just a few minutes ago.- “We are looking for a missing
jounin… seems they haven’t reported in after their mission was supposed to be
finished… So safe to assume something did not go well for this individual…”
-Masami would wrap an arm around the scythe’s staff using it as an arm rest as
she summarized what the paper had on it.- “They were doing a mission off to the
west…somewhere near the coast, or half way... the hunter’s lost track somewhere
between here and the coast, so we should probably start from his last known
position… which is a little village a few miles outside of Yonshigakure…”
–Masami would look to Jinta to see what he would suggest.-
StevieSkies: [❄] Jinta would reach out and take in her hand with his own,
give it a quick but friendly shake, allowing a slight smile to crawl on his
face. "Pleasure indeed, Masami." He got a good look at her face in
this moment, letting the boy take in her striking red eyes. She would show
Jinta the page, and explain it to him verbally, while his golden eyes read and
followed along with her words. The mission seemed simple enough, but the
difficulty could get quite intense if they ran into trouble. "Well it is
shocking to hear that the Hunters lost track of him..it must have been quite a
large mission." Jinta paused and placed his hand on his chin, stroking it.
He'd turn around on his heel and wave for her to follow. " Well, best get
a move on now, or else we'd be doing this mission for like, ever." He said
in a relaxed tone, a bit of sarcasm in there to lighten the mood. Jinta had a
quick walking pace as he headed towards the village exit, talking to her still.
"So we should head to the village and I guess research..." He'd say
drifting a bit. "Sorry, I'm not a sensory type, so I'm not too sure how
these search missions go on. He let out a small sigh as the got to the gate.
Giving his arms and legs a quick shake, he'd look to Masami and speak once
more. "Well, I'm ready to go, lead the way, Masami." He'd make sure
to force a smile after, even though he didn't like smiling much, to make sure
she didn't take him as being rude or demanding [❄]
IzzyDaPada -Masami made her way
leisurely behind the young chunin listening closely, both her arms were resting
on the scythe that rested on her shoulders now. She’d make sounds of agreement,
and thinking as he spoke,- “Hm, I was thinking the same thing. However, it is
not so uncommon for jounin and other ninjas to go missing when heading to the
coast...” -Masami found amusement in the young chunin in his eagerness to get
the mission done, Masami had been in one of her normal routines of avoiding the
Shikage and other said responsibilities as a jounin for her own personal
reasons… She found the young chunin amusing, apologizing for small matters,
resulting in the jounin to let out a laugh from under her mask. She’d fit her
scythe back into the holster on her back as she adjusted the large and
intimidating weapon into place.- “I’m sensory, so we will figure things out
when we reach the village… and if you continue to force yourself to smile, it
won’t be believable.” –Masami would quickly give her weapons and pouches a
check as she walked up to Jinta and placed a hand on his head, giving him a
reassuring gesture that he was fine as he was. Masami would approach the gate
then look over her shoulder at the young chunin… “Lets go…” –With that, Masami
pushed off with her dominate foot and sprinted in the direction of the last
known coordinates of the missing jounin…-
StevieSkies: [❄] He snickered slightly at her comment as they started
heading out. Feeling comfortable with her, even if she touched his hair. She
was definitely a nice person, but Jinta didn't really know her all too well
yet. She sprinted off fast, and Jinta was ready to stay behind her. They
started out on the ground, moving quickly past large trees and rocks. The fog
wasn't too bad inside Yonshigakure, but as they moved more to the coast, that
changed. It got denser, and certainly making it harder to see through. "How
about we head to the trees?" Jinta would question, believing that the fog
wouldn't be as deep if they for up higher and traveled through the branches of
the mighty trees. [❄] 
IzzyDaPada: -Tilting her head a bit
to listen to the chunin’s suggestion, “Good idea, and it will keep us above the
flow of other people…” -Masami liked the idea, bringing her hands in front of
her, she would form a few hand signs as she formed and pushed the golden yellow
chakra towards the bottoms of her feet… Running quickly towards the nearest
tree, Masami pushed off the ground with her dominate foot and planted both her
feet on the tree with a good thunk. The thunk of her feet making contact the
tree would continue as Masami rushed up the tree… upon reaching a branch Masami
looked down to make sure that the young chunin was able to make it up. If the
chunin had made it up the tree behind her, Masami pushed off with her dominate
foot to push forward towards their intended destination… After what felt like
forever of heading towards the coast, Masami stopped on a branch that was
overlooking the village in question… Masami leaned up against a nearby branch
looking over the small village as it bustled with life as people were going
about the comings and goings of life. She’d brush a piece of her purple hair
out of her face looking almost bored with the village bustle of life..- “Well,
we’re here. Let’s start with asking the gate guards first…then from there we
should approach the villagers in the square.” –Masami would look towards the
young chunin, if he agreed, Masami would jump down towards the ground with a
thump and a plume of smoke would rise where her feet landed, walking towards
the village to begin asking around.-
StevieSkies: [❄] He nodded along and focused chakra to his feet to bounce
him the left onto a thick trunk. He'd dash up and swing from the branch to the
top, before pushing hard and staying a safe 15 feet behind Masami. Once they
got to the final tree, he'd pause by landing next to her, striking a pose by
touching his chin with his right hand. "Hmmm." He thought as he
analyzed the village. It was quite busy for being so small. Had to be more of a
hot spot than a place to stay. "I agree. Go ahead and lead the way. "
Jinta told her with a nod. Dropping down with a front flip, before following
behind her like a puppy [❄]
IzzyDaPada: -Masami headed towards
the gate as she reached behind her and grabbed onto her scythe and gave the
weapon a jerk so that it released from the holster. Bringing the weapon up to
her shoulders, Masami brought both of her arms around the weapon to use it as
an arm rest to return to her leisure attitude. As they approached the gate, two
people would emerge from their posts to approach the Yonshigakure ninjas.
Masami would look over to Jinta, then turn her attention back to the gate
keepers, her voice would raise so they both could hear her… “We are looking for
a ninja that possibly came through here not that long ago.” The ninjas would
look towards Masami, then the young man that was behind her, “We come from
Yonshigakure… We were sent to look for this ninja…” – Masami reached behind her
with the intention of grabbing a piece of paper with the missing ninja’s
identification and information on it from a pouch that was attached to her hip.
The information was given to her from the mission’s office. The guards took the
paper that Masami had offered them, looking between them and then back. One of
the guards would answer back, his voice deep yet young sounding, “He passed
through, however he might have left through the other entrance.” –With the
information that was given to Masami, she’d make a look of disinterest as she
outstretched her hand taking back the paper.- “Thank you gentlemen, we shall
leave you to your guarding. Jinta, our search continues” –Masami raised her
eyebrow in a sassy remark towards the male guards as she walked passed with her
scythe on her shoulders still. The looks on the two guards face as she
continued forward with the looming weapon was that of concern and confusion-
StevieSkies: [❄] He smirked as Masami talked to the guards with a bit of an
attitude. Jinta didn’t feel the need to add to the conversation between them,
the jonin clearly had control of the situation. While they talked, Jinta took a
small break to check out his nails. They were clean despite his little stunt
with the tree branch. Snapping back to reality, Jinta nodded to her telling him
that they will be continuing the search. “Right.” They kept moving together as
Jinta headed through the busy crowd. He didn’t know who to talk to, but there
was something that stood out to him. He caught it off a glimpse of something
sparkly. “Hey, follow me.” Jinta would say in a calm, yet serious tone, taking
her arm as he walked quickly towards something. It was a bit off a hike to it,
but right outside a small bathhouse, there was a sparkling Yonshigakure
forehead protector. Jinta touched it, and was met with a small shock. After
doing so, it started to buzz and flash with a jolt of purple electricity. “Soo,
obviously this was electrified by someone…can you find the source?” [❄]
IzzyDaPada: -Listening to the young
chunin say he had spotted something, Masami let him lead her in the direction
of the said thing. Masami watched as the object reacted to the young man’s
touch, causing her to raise an eyebrow out of curiosity of the object.- “Now
who would leave a little thing like that laying around…” –The way she spoke was
more of a curious humored tone, rather than a question. The woman lifted the
weapon off her shoulders making it seem that the scythe’s weight was equal to
that of a wooden staff. With placing the hilt of the scythe on the ground, a
small thump would be met as the object met the ground. Masami used the weapon
to stabilize herself and squat in front of the headband with a bored expression
on her face… After a few seconds the woman’s red eyes would begin to glow red
as her kekkei genkai was activated. Looking about the headband and that of the
surrounding area, Masami’s eyebrows would express a mild to moderate angered
expression as she stared at the headband.- “Someone took the person we are
looking for…” –Pushing herself from her squatting stance to her full five foot
eight height, a few more inappropriate anger-driven  words would slip from the jounin’s mouth.-
“and here I thought it would be a quick in and out job… it looks like two
individuals came up and ambushed him as he was heading the way we just came in…
not the other gate…and looks like someone has the ability to control
lightning…delightful.” –Masami would turn her attention towards Jinta’s
position then past him, her eyes were still glowing red as she continued to
look over the area. Blinking a couple of times as the kekkei genkai was
deactivated causing the woman to let out a heavy sigh, the thought of more work
being made for her gave her a headache. Masami picked up the weapon and hoisted
it back into its holster on her back, then leaning over Masami picked up the
headband by the cloth portion… “Let’s ask the guards at the OTHER gate if they
have seen a couple of people walk that way… I believe they might know who we
are looking for…Lead the way little Yuki.” –Masami may have been mad at the
idea of more work, but she wasn’t going to take it out on anyone but the ninjas
in question… After this, Masami knew she was going to avoid everyone for at
least two weeks.-
StevieSkies: [❄] Jinta watched
with a relaxed expression as Masami went to work on analyzing the chakra source
from the forehead protector. His eyes blinked as he watched hers glow like a
lantern. Jinta has never seen anything quite like that, assuming it was perhaps
her own special ability, like his Ice Style. She got a bit angry as Masami
explained what she was able to gather from viewing the object. A small comedic
sweat drop appeared on the back of Jinta’s head as he uttered a small “wow.”
He’d scratch his head as she picked it up and gave him orders to lead the way.
With a small nod on a stone cold face, Jinta focused chakra to his feet and
bent his knees slightly, as he bursted up off the ground and over the crowd,
some of them gasping at the shock of ninja flying overhead. He’d land across
the way and sprint towards the other gate guards. He’d throttle down before he
got to them, so he’d be able to stop stationary once he got to them. “Hello,
sorry to bother, but we come from the Hidden Death on a mission. “ The woman
with a tight blue bob would question them, asking what they needed, as she took
out a cigarette and leaned against the post. “Well, have you seen any
suspicious characters walk through? Perhaps one that was unconscious with two
others?” The male she was with perked up and raised his hand, eager to say that
he did in fact see two tan women with beautiful eyes carrying a man they said
was ‘drunk’, to the nearest ‘inn’. “Bingo. That’d be all. Thank you for your
co-operation. “Jinta would say very stoic as he looked up to Masami. “I believe
we have our suspects and a lead to them. Better move on out…” Jinta would be
looking right back at the guards, eager to dash through that gate to go rescue
the missing Jonin from his captures. [❄]
IzzyDaPada:
-If Masami had the energy that the young Yuki did, she wouldn’t complain as
much as she does normally. The jounin didn’t have to do much as she walked
towards the gate on the other side of the village as people parted out of her
way. Those who are unaccustomed to Yonshigakure weaponry let alone ninja
related tools stayed clear when Masami was around, however this didn’t bother
the jounin one bit as it got her to her destination regardless. The jounin held
onto the headband waiting to use it at the greatest opportune moment, because
the woman truthfully wanted to throw it at the nearest idiot that answered
incorrectly. Hearing the information they needed, Masami stared at the two
guards.- “Yet you believed that explanation...” –Masami yet again raised an
eyebrow at the two gate guards in a sassy remark. Finding that the basic guards
our gullible to any scenario, which truly annoyed the woman and further drove
her to wanting to avoid anything to do with people. The guards would look at
the jounin with a frown on their face, not knowing how to take Masami’s words.
Their response back to the jounin was that the ninja Masami and Jinta were
looking for had finished something, and was in route to return home. The one
guard admitting truthfully they had spoken with the man prior to him being
taken back to the inn, assuming he had too much saki in one of the bathhouses
in the village. The response from the guards fueled Masami’s need to get this
over with. Stuffing the headband in one of the pouches attached on her hip, Masami
made a head-nod-jerking motion at Jinta in the direction heading out of the village
as an indication of lets head out, seeing that the chunin was eager to finish
the mission just as she was. Pushing off with her dominate foot leaving behind
the guards and the village with a burst of speed in her step…. Assuming the inn
wasn’t that far away from the village, they would reach the village in a couple
of minutes if the ninjas were at their full speed… Upon arriving Masami halted
in front of the inn, causing dirt and smoke to rise in her wake. Assuming
shortly after the young chunin would be behind her, Masami grabbed the scythe
from its holster and swung the large weapon on her shoulders as she made her
approach towards the inn, her hands gripping the lower portion of the weapon
and the upper portion closer to the blade. As she approached the inn, her
facial expression would grow blank as her eyes would glow red again as her
kekki genkai was once again activated. The look on the woman’s face was deadly
as she stared at the inn, her voice was low as she spoke to the chunin if he
was beside her, “there are three people within the building…assuming one is the
missing ninja, and the two that are going to regret their actions today…”
–Masami held no nature element within her, however… looking down to the young
Yuki.- “Your assistance is required young Yuki... please take the lead first… a
distraction to get us either into the building or draw them out would work… I
do not foster an element nature, something to draw those two out is the best
option, I do not wish to bring harm to the ninja inside… once you feel
confident your part is done, I will come in behind you.” –She would give a nod
of her head, thinking it was a sound beginning plan.-
StevieSkies: [❄] The pair moved out and traveled about a mile or so to get
to the location of the inn. Once there, he listened to Masami’s instructions
and he nodded silently and headed inside. He followed the voices of two women
talking. Although the building was only three levels, these women were talking
very loud, arguing almost. They appeared to be by the window of the dingy inn
room, while he could see by looking under the door, that they left the shinobi
limp by the door. Being as caution as he could, Jinta unzipped his one side
pouch to pull out a small scroll. Unsealing it with a small wisp of smoke,
three blue balls the size of quarters appeared in his hand. He could tell they
noticed the smoke as he heard a ‘what’ from the room, but used this to his
advantage. He’d roll his ice bombs into the room and detonate them, spikes of
ice shooting out of the ground and breaking through the roof. That spooked the
two women out of the room, both of them flying through the window as Jinta
opened the door to carry the man out to the hallway. Once he was safe there
Jinta patted his head and went back inside the room. He moved through his icy
terrain and to look outside at what had happened. The one woman was right in
front of Masami, a few feet away, while the other was crawling away. Taking
advantage of her weakness, Jinta used the existing ice to form a small spike,
about the size of a javelin, and send it right through the waist of the
crawling woman. After that, he’d turn to Masami and jump out the window, ready
to assist her if needed.[❄] 
IzzyDaPada:
-Masami watched as the young chunin went inside the inn, the jounin angled her
body to prepare for the upcoming fight. Her kekki genkai was still activated as
she watched Jinta’s chakra float about within the building heading to the floor
where the three were at… after what felt like a good solid forever, Masami
heard a crash and then a thunk as a person landed in front of her. The jounin would
straighten up and place the scythe’s staff end on the ground and take a leisure
pose in front of the woman who appeared in front of her.- “So happy you could
drop in! I’m looking for a missing ninja…I heard you took him? Where is he? I
would like him back, please?” –The woman would rise and stare at Masami oddly,
thinking that Masami was weird, without hesitation the woman drew out two twin
sais. The jounin looked at the woman with a humored expression with a smile
appearing under her mask.- “I take that as a no? I mean, it wouldn’t be that
hard to hand him over, right?” –The woman disregarded what Masami was saying as
she launched forward, the sais aimed at fatally wounding Masami… Masami arched
an eyebrow as she jerked the weapon awkwardly into a blocking stance pushing
her chakra into her scythe, a loud scrap could be heard within the area as the
weapons collided.- “Really, truly, I don’t want to hurt you. But seeing as you
have given the first blow…then please be my guest!” –The jounin used the locked
weapons within her maneuver she rushed the ninja forward causing their bodies
to get dangerously close and the sais touching Masami’s skin creating small
puncture marks in various places. Using this tactic, Masami threw her forehead
in towards the woman causing a loud thunk to be heard as their heads met. The
woman stuned by the head but, stumbled backwards giving Masami the time to push
more chakra into her scythe, rushing forwards Masami brought the scythe over
her head in an overarching motion to switch hands, so that the blade was behind
her… as the weapon was brought in closer, the jounin stopped her running mid
run in front of the woman and slammed the staff end of the scythe into the
woman’s stomach. This caused the woman to lose breath and lean forward stunned
again. The last blow Masami wanted to deal, she brought up her arm and brought
it on the back of the woman’s head causing the woman to be knocked out and fall
onto the ground….- “I told you I didn’t want to hurt you…” –Masami looked
around letting out a sigh she looked at the small puncher marks within her
shoulders.- “I hate blood….great.” –She sounded very unenthusiastic about the
marks, however she knew that was all apart of the job. Looking down at the
woman on the ground, then looked back up at the inn.- “Little Yuki! Were you
successful in finding the jounin alive?” –In the back of the jounin’s mind, she
hoped that the individual was.-
StevieSkies:
[❄] Walking up to Masami, Jinta would mix
his chakra natures to create an Ice Style: Ice Dome, around the living bandit
and then return attention to Masami. “Oh totally. He is resting in the third
floor hallway. I did not really check him for injuries, but he was still
moaning and groaning when I dragged him out.” He paused and nodded his head at
the building before continuing his talk. “Shall we?” If Masami agreed, Jinta
would lead the way and take her up to the Jonin who was still doing alright. He
only had what appeared to be nausea, and no visible wounds beside a bruise on
the back on his bald head. With a sigh, Jinta slung the man as best he could
over his shoulder and helped him hobble out of the building. They would have to
travel at this slow pace due to how dizzy their survivor was. Jinta stayed
quiet and would keep reminding the man to keep going, and that he would be alright
once they got back home. By the time the trio got to Yonshigakure, the sky was
full of stars, and owls hooted with passion. “Well it looks like we are home.
I’ll take him to the hospital. I trust you’ll be fine handing in the mission
solo?” Jinta questioned. After Masami’s answer, Jinta would hobble with the
Jonin to the hospital and make sure he was checked in for head trauma, before
heading home and falling asleep on the couch, since his room had been taken
over by his aunt’s new twins. [❄]
IzzyDaPada:
-Letting out a sigh of relief, Masami would give a nod in acknowledgement to
Jinta. As the two approached the building, Masami holstered the scythe to her
back before they entered the building. Masami gave the jounin an extra look
over, noticing the nausea from the man’s drugged state and a bruise. Masami
reached brought out the headband from her pouch and tied it loosely around the
man’s neck.- “Don’t go losing this again…” –The man looked up at her letting
out a gargled compliment and thank you towards the purple haired jounin.
Helping Jinta bring the man to his feet, she sling the man’s other arm over her
shoulder… The walk back with the man was tiring, but Masami didn’t mind most of
it, finding someone alive brought some positivity into what they were doing.
Looking over to Jinta, Masami gave the young chunin a nod of her head
acknowledging she will be fine.- “Good job on the mission little Yuki.” –Masami
let out a heavy sigh as she made her way towards the office, Masami would brush
at one of the spots on her shoulder that had been punctured by the sais,
pulling her fingers away blood would stain the tips of her fingers. A face that
spoke of the disapproval would appear, then just as quickly disappear.- “You
hate blood Hasu. This is drastic for you.” –One of the many yonshigakurian
villagers would come out from a flower shop that Masami frequented growing up within.-
“All in a day’s work Okaasama.” Masami would offer the older woman a smile and
continue towards the office. The light was still on per usual… Masami handed in
the information and all the other needed essentials allowing them to have a
complete on the mission record… Finally returning to her home, Masami unhooked
the scythe from her back letting it fall to the ground with a loud thunk. Walking
towards her bed Masami flopped on top of it letting out a sigh as she closed
her eyes to finally find sleep…..-
== End Results: ==
The missing jounin was found alive and unharmed except for being sick and having a bruise. Jinta was unharmed in the fight between the two captures, Masami left wit two minor small puncture holes in her shoulder areas. All three returned to the village safely.
