Yamanaka Itsumo
== Title: ==
IItsumo:-Itsumo’s clone sat in her office again it was beginning to be an everyday thing she couldn’t do much in the way of training with everyone due to the fact that as a clone she only had one fourth the chakra of the normal Itsumo. Not that that was still not an ample amount of chakra but still the clone didn’t want to over use too much and accidently poof from the village. The clone flipped through the missions again she had already done the toad mission the day before thinking that she could do another low rank mission to help out with the growing pile of missions today she was looking for another mission that she could complete with ease. She flipped through the pages and read the title of each mission request, there were several for catching missing cats and a few for walking dogs simple tasks that even a single genin could do. She saw another request for tea leaves and one for helping out at the hospital something that she would be useless at going with not medical knowledge she would only get in the way. She flipped through a few more missions before reading over one that could be interesting. The lounge needed ingredients gathered from the dark forest. The forest was dark and dreary random fog and animals lurked around every corner. It was no place for a single genin to do by themselves but she could handle it seeing as she had spent a great deal of time in forest growing up in the village. The Mission request was a simple one the chef needed ingredients he was running low on a few things. The list of Ingredients was stated on the page. Two ounces of mushrooms the brown ones not the ones with spots, four cloves of garlic, a bushel of basil, a jar of wild black berries and some form of meat. This was not a hard list at all seeing as there were many small animals that lurked in the forest she could easily catch one with out to much of a fuss. She got up from the desk and folded the paper into a small square and placed it into her pocket and made her way over to the shelf in her office. She grabbed a basket to put the mushrooms, basil and garlic into and a glass jar for the black berries. She then put the jar into the basket and made her way down the stair case that lead to the down stairs part of the Kage building that served as the mission center.-
IItsumo: -Itsumo glanced around it was not too early in the day so there were many people bustling around the room a few of them stopped to look over at her and bowed their heads. She still wasn’t used to being the Kage and getting so much respect from everyone she was more used to the people fearing her. Still every ninja old enough to be in this building knew who she was even though many of the newer genin did not know who she was. She nodded to everyone and made her way out the door she didn’t need to tell them what she was doing and she didn’t need a shadow though she had Shikake who was known to fallow her around but she figured he was off doing something somewhere else. It was not like she had a target on her back or that she couldn’t stand on her own two feet even as a clone she could take on anyone that tried to attack her with ease.  She started out through the streets the fog that covered the streets of Yonshigakure was ever present even with the sun slightly shining down on the village. She didn’t get much notice drawn to her as she walked through the streets of the village that were crowded with venders and shoppers getting their food for the noon meal so no one was paying too much attention to who was around. She easily slipped through the main part of the village and to the outer dirt streets that lead to the outer family compounds that used to be full of life that mostly sat deserted now with the younger shinobi all living closer to the village and the ones who used to live in them having  been lost in the war. Without realizing it Itsumo found herself taking the path that lead towards the Yamanaka Compound the place she had spent her childhood living it was just on the outskirts of village wall that divided the village from the dark forest. She sighed as she stopped in front of the compound. The building had not fallen to ruin she had kept all the old compounds kept intact and suited for one day when the genin grew up and moved back to their family homes. She herself did stay in the yamanaka compound from time to time when she wanted to be away from the main village but still within the walls. She shook off the feeling to go inside and walked past the compound to the back gate of the village. There were two guards on duty and they were standing one on each side just inside the gate. She looked at them through the holes in her mask and as she approached they both moved to open the gate with great speed. They didn’t question her as to why she was leaving the village like they would a genin or a lower ranking ninja they just let her pass and closed the gate behind her. Stepping through the gate she was just outside the tree line of the dark forest and with a few steps she was swallowed up by the darkness of the forest. -
IItsumo:-Itsumo’s clone made its way silently through the forest not making a sound. It was almost complete darkness inside the forest of Death though she could see perfectly fine. She was so used to traveling at night her eyes had become used to it. She knew where to find each of the ingredients listed on the page because she had spent much of her time out in the forest just to have the silence she was so used to as a Hunter Ninja. Though now the Kage it had been some time sense she had had the chance to be out in the forest that she loved. It didn’t take her long till she reached the area not too deep into the forest where the mushrooms that the chef requested tended to grow, though both kinds of mushrooms grew in the area it was not hard to tell them apart as long as you were looking. She knelt down and started to gather up only the brown mushrooms leaving the spotted ones where they grew she placed them each into the basket. She gathered more than enough mushrooms for chef as well as some she could take home to make her own meal with. She then got to her feet and started to make her way through the forest again this time not heading deeper into the forest but rather east of where she had been. She traveled about twenty yards before she came to the area where the wild garlic grew in abundance. The smell from the plants was enough to keep most animals and insects away but it didn’t bother Itsumo not that she could smell it with both her mask and her white scarf covering her face. She again knelt down taking her hands and digging up the bulbs from the cool earth she again gathered more than the four cloves needed taking extra for her own meal that night and placed them into the basket.  Getting to her feet she wiped her hands on her pants getting the dirt from the as she started moving silently through the forest again heading east for about another 5 yards. This was where the while black berries bushes grew in abundance and the sweet smell of the berries attracted small animals of all kinds. She took the jar from the basket and opened the lid setting the open jar and lid both within the basket so she could use her hands to pick the berries. She only gathered the jar full that was requested of these she didn’t care to eat them herself preferring other food and after several moments the jar was full. She then took the lid and placed it back onto the jar.- *Now for the fun part* -she thought to herself as she hung the basket off of a branch in a nearby tree and crouched down looking around for the meat she need.- 
IItsumo:-Itsumo’s Icey blue eyes scanned over the dimly lit forest floor looking for any sign of movement or sound that would alert her that an animal was hear. The simply face alone that she was only a clone at the moment made her not want to waste chakra to sense for animals it would waste the limited supply of chakra the clone had and with no telling when the real Itsumo would return she needed to save as much chakra as she could. As her eyes scanned over every inch of the forest floor that she could see from her spot under the tree it didn’t take long before she spotted something that would make for an interesting and unique meat source for the chef. It was a small reddish brown fox no bigger than a small dog in size that was rooting around the leaves under a tree about a half a yard north of where she was crouched down. She watched the fox whom didn’t seem to notice her crouched down for a few minutes letting it feel comfortable in the area before making her move. She silently began to move toward the fox stalking it like a predator would its prey but when she was only about a foot away from the fox something off to the right snapped a twig and the fox startled.  Itsumo sighed and began to chase after the fox deeper into the forest then she would have liked to go. She chased the fox for more than twenty yards before she heard a loud growl coming from next to her. She stopped in her tracks as she glanced over seeing what the growl was coming from. Crouched down in a pouncing position was a large grey wolf with golden eyes narrowed with anger. Itsumo didn’t move as the wolf continued to growl-
IItsumo: -The grey wolf pounced at Itsumo and Itsumo made her move she body flickered out of the way and reappeared right behind the wolf. The wolf let out a howl its golden eyes narrowed as it flipped around and came at Itsumo again. Its sharp canine teeth barred and growling as it lunged at Itsumo’s left leg. Itsumo dogged the large wolf by jumping up into a tree. The Wolf stalked around the base of the tree starring up at Itsumo. Itsumo thought about body flickering away from the wolf but as she had lost the fox she was going to give to the lounge had gotten away from her when the wolf attacked. Itsumo now needed meat once again. She didn’t want to kill the wolf but it would be enough meat to last the lounge for at least a week or so if she did and the animal had attacked her making itself a target. Reaching into the black pouch on her left leg with her right hand she withdrew a Kunai gripping it in her hand she lept down from the tree and at the wolf slicing at the top of the wolf’s spine. She made contact with its skin and the wolf let out a yelp crying in pain. It turned and attacked Itsumo once again this time snapping at her arm as she came down to the ground. She dogged but caught her arm slightly on tree cutting open her shirt and her arm was scratched slightly but not too deep. Itsumo was done playing now she gripped the kunai once again and dove at the wolf she sliced the wolf cutting its underside of the wolf the wolf let out another cry before falling to the ground and whimpering in pain. Itsumo approached the wolf it snarled and snapped but was unable to move to much or get to its feet. Itsumo felt bad as she looked down at the creature she took the kunai and plunged it into the wolf’s chest where its heart would be the wolf’s eyes slipped closed. Itsumo picked up the wolf and slung it over her shoulder and she body flickered back to where she had left the basket of other ingredients. She picked up the basked and started to make her way back towards the village. -
IItsumo: -Itsumo’s clone reached the village in about twenty minutes and entered through the same gate she had left the Shinobi at the gate bowed their heads as she passed and then went back to their posts. Itsumo walked down the path back towards the main part of the village that housed the lounge as well as the dojo and the Kage building and many smaller shops. It took her only ten minutes before she was standing outside of the Large lounge building that one the outside looked old but as she walked through the doors with the dead wolf on left shoulder and the basket that held the rest of the ingredients in her right hand she approached the counter and spoke to the worker whom pointed her towards the back room her voice low and respectful. Itsumo thanked her and walked towards the back room going into the door she spotted the owner of the lounge and smiled setting the wolf and the ingredients on the table. The owner thanked Itsumo and was happy that she had brought such a large amount of meat. Itsumo then turned and walked from the room. She headed back towards the Kage building and up to her office where she perched herself on the ledge of her window and looked out over the back of the lake. The clone was wondering how much longer the Real Itsumo would be gone for. It k new that the real Itsumo would be worried about the village having already been away for four days. Itsumo then moved her hands creating the sign for tiger and created a clone of the clone. The original clone then poofed in a puff of white smoke leaving only the new clone that it had created in the office. -
== End Results: ==
Itsumo clone completed the Mission giving the owner of the lounge all the requested ingredients as well as the body of the grey wolf for the meat. Itsumo's clone then moved back to the Kage office and created a clone of itself before poofing so that the real Itsumo whom is on the island would know what was going on in the village as well as gain the new Jutsu's that the clone had learned while she was gone.
