-Today was the day per say it was Keru's one week anniversary of moving into this village and becoming it's newest Genin member. It has had it's twist and turns for darn sure but Keru and his trusty but sometimes douche-bagish companion Bruce always loved the thrill of the unknown and to challenge things that seemed way to far out of their way to handle. It twas about 7:30am this wonderful morning Keru usually awoke around 5:30am which was two hours behind but he was feeling quite lazy today due to his intense trainning session yesterday with Bruce his Inuzuka companion. After gaining two extra hours of sleep he would raised up from his bed like a zombie sitting his upper body upwards as he motioned both his his hands onto his eyes and rubbed with also making sure to get out the eye boogies. Yawning once and now sitting his body so that his legs would dangle from his bed he would stretch out as he made a slight groan while doing so, Suddenly during his waking up ritual his got a loud knock onto his door which startled him about making his heart rate move alittle faster, And the knock also woke up Bruce would yawned allowing his morning breath to escape Keru would frantically wave his head to try to redirect the horrid stench from his strong nostril cavitys. He would quickly hop up and open the door on the other side stood a village messenger he simply said. "This is for you Keru Inuzuka, And goodluck on your first B-rank mission" Keru allowing the statement to process as he closed the door and leaned aganist it, He slowly opened the heavy scroll as his eyes gleamed with excitement and he began to read up on the mission details which said. " A local blacksmith's daughter by the name of Chiko Mazuna Age 6. Has been missing for almost 3 days in repitition, From the information the blacksmith leaked it was possibly bandits who were harassing him for weapons." After reading the Info he would clinch his fist and bare his 3ft long cannines which would only expose himself out of anger or extreme concentration, Now looking to see Bruce fully awakend and he began to shakes furiously to get some of the remaning dirt from yesterday off of his coat he would now speak to Keru via Beast Human Telepathy. "Hey isn't that a mission scroll? What do you got this time?" Keru replied with a slight solemn expression "A little girl has been supposdely kidnapped by bandits it's our job to save her, Time is wasting Bruce lets get a move on!" Bruce simply bark louded and noded to his statement he would grab his ninja gear along with a spare change of clothes just incase his current would get messed up. Once he stepped out of the door Bruce followed he then locked it behind him now both taking off at full speed out of their apartment building as they made their way to the Konohagakure Blacksmith to get some possible answers out of him.-
 
-As the two made their way down the bustling streets of Konohagakure, Keru would begin to hyperventilate due to the immense of today's sun which was about 95degrees farenheight. Using his smarts he would simply arc his neck upwards but not to much that he couldn't look and move through the crowds but he was looking for the distinct blacksmith smoke stack that would happen due to the burning coal and the fire that was used to make a various amount of materials wiether they be used for regular civillian usage or for shinobi in battle. Keru was able to smell the burning and he finally saw the smoke stack now treading along with Bruce who followed short behind him he would speak to Keru via Beast Human Telepathy "Man i know this has to be rough on her father... Knowing he cant do anything for his own daughter." Keru replied as he clinched his fist "We will shield the weak this is my promise from this day on.... I dont want to see anyone suffer! even if i have to day to achieve it!" He'd begin to tear up as he thought of his past knowing the feeling of not being able to protect people and being defenseless to those who take advantage of the weak. Deep down Bruce was truely moved by the previous statement by Keru he wasn't used to this type of passion and fire that emitnated from him at that very momment but he simply smiled with his eyes and barked. Once they entered the blacksmithery they both could feel the pain on the mans face he beat in the metal with his blacksmith hammer if he didn't have the will to even try, When the mans eyes turned to see us and noticed the headband around my bicep his eyes glimmered with hope he immediatly grabbed onto my pants and dropped to his knees as the sobbing coming from him could be heard as his tears dropped onto the floor silently. Keru would look down at him with wide eyes as he began to speak the discord in his voice fairly prevalent. "Sir..... Shinobi..... Please save my daughter! i can't live without my little girl.... She is all i have left of her.... Her....." At this point he began to stutter and couldn't talk Keru observing his surroundings he noticed the picture of the happy family behind the business counter at this point he knew what was wrong and he simply noded solmenly. Keru would kneel down onto the mans level and place his head aganist his and Bruce would place his head aganist his aswell. Now Keru and Bruce screamed with passion even though Bruce's scream only sounded like a bark to the man. "WE WILL SAVE YOUR DAUGHTER THIS IS MY NINJA PROMISE!!! But i need your help with one thing before we leave. I need something of your daughters so my companion her can sniff out her trail" The man would begin to cry less and less and it seemed as hope was reviatalized inside of his heart and for the first time in a long time Keru geuninely smiled glad to see someone was happy even in this world full of dispair. The man disappeared for about 3 minutes and came back with one of her dresses. Keru would nod to Bruce as he went forth he sniffed deeply onto the dress about 5 times then gave the edges a few rapid sniffs just to make sure he got the full extent of it. Now pointing his nose into the air he would begin to set himself into a guide like mode, Keru would turn to the man and speak one last time before he left "We will bring her back in no time, Just sit tight." Now turning himself back Bruce would begin to charge off and outwards of the village once the guards stopped us around the exit/entrance gate i showed them the scroll and now we made our way into the expansive forest as the search was on.-
 
-Now that both Keru and Bruce where in the large expansive forest outside of Konohagakure, Bruce would begin to sniff aganist every inch of the ground we seemingly walked upon once we reached about an entire hour of walk i would finally take the small interval to ask Bruce via Beast Human Telepathy about the progress of the trail. "Hey buddy how is the trail going so far? Is it really far? Really close? I need some answers." Bruce would do a few more rapid sniffs before then turning around and replying to Keru "The trail is extremely far off i would say about 6 hours off into the distance. Keru would think to himself as he took in the information that Bruce gave him and now once again spoke to Bruce. "Sheesh these ninja sure did cover alot of distance in the time they had her, But they walked fairly slow. So maybe if we jog and or sprint most of the way would could catch them?" Bruce would then reply "Well that is a sound plan but it will surely leave us tired by the time we reach them which definatly wouldn't help during a fight." Keru would scratch his chin evaulating the situation then speaking again. "Alright lets continue to walk for awhile and once we get close enough lets begin to tree run so we can cover alot more ground." Bruce would simply nod as he now once again stuck his nose aganist the forest floor and continued to sniff as he moved forward guiding Keru in the right direction. As Bruce did his part of the mission Keru kept alittle bit of chakra infused into his nose just incase their was some unfamiliar scents or possibly bandits that were left behind incase they knew people would follow after them. Keru's greyish two-toned eyes would observe for once the tranquil beauty of nature his ears listening closely to the sounds of birds chirpping and crickets making their distinct sound. After another 3 hours of strictly walking in the forest Bruce would continue to sniff onto the ground but he unexpectiadly steps onto a thin piece of wire connected between to very tall oak tree and since Bruce had a considerable amount of weight both the trees would now begin to fall horizontally aiming to crush bruce inbetween them. Keru easily hearing the crackle of the tree coming off from the trunk of the tree he would infuse chakra into his feet and leap forward as he wrapped his arms around Bruce to safeguard him from the tree they both rolled about 5ft and to both of their own discords they reached and unexpected hill and they heard the two tree's falling make and echo throughout the forest. Keru would have Bruce resting onto of his chest as Keru's back skidded down aganist the hill and the faster they went the more intense it became and randomly a sharped rock was facing upwards and it rips into Keru's coat and digs into his back but not enough to cause serious damage but enough to cause pain and draw blood. Once they both hit the bottom of the hill Keru would lay their writhing in pain Bruce making his way off of his chest and dragging him by bitting his hoodie as he spoke to him via Beast Human Telepathy. "Come on! we aren't that far off now!" Keru would allow him to pull for about 10 more mintues his words fully resonating and he hoped back upwards and Bruce once again put his nose into the ground as i asked for a status update he said about 1 and a half away. Keru knew this meant they either set up camp or they are slowing down due to some unknown occurence know sticking to the plan. Keru would infuse chakra into his feet running up onto the tall oak which was about 30ft in the air, His companion Bruce doing the same as they tree weaved as fast as possible after awhile they would arrive upon a makeshift camp which was below them. Bruce hopped a few more trees until he was on the same one Keru was on and they scoped out the situation, Keru saw 2 bandit's sitting by an open fire cooking food and their was yelling and screaming inside of the tent one very high pitched and one very low and monotone meaning that was their target.-
 
-As both of them awaited a perfect momment to strike Keru reached into his pouch grabbing a thin wire along with his kunai which rested on his right thigh he took of his hoodie which in the back the fabric was cut open due to the sharp rock from earlier when they took a tumble down a large downward inclined hill, He placed the thin wire into the small hole of the kunai now taking his adjacent right hand and pressing together the two ripped sides of his hoodie. Now taking the thin needle he would pass it through the fabric zig zag about 16 times and once he got to the end of it he made sure to tie the needle cut the then bit the ending of the string. After his little quick patch job he would put his hoodie back on and place the thin needle along with it's string back into his pouch, He also taking his kunai and putting it back into his thigh holster. Keru and Bruce would look back down into the makeshift camp seeing the people where in the same positions and the screaming subsided, Keru would now look over to Bruce and explain his plan of attack. "Alright this is how were gonna tackle this, I will give you cover via two smokebombs which should disperse enough to cover the entire camp, Make sure to jump the momment i throw the bombs downward because i want them to see you on purpose so they will think try to take you down to thinking other's will be shortly behind. Got it?" Bruce would now as he tensed his body and bared his immence jaw along with his cannines when fully exposed spanned to 7ft long. Keru would grab the two smoke bombs from the right side of his waist and threw them down to the camp ground floor and with synch Bruce jumped from the tree down onto the ground, The two bandits immediatly seeing bruce and yelled to alert the other man inside the tent as they screamed. "INTRUDER!" But as the word was uttered the bombs exploded and Bruce was right in the midst of it but using his superior smelling skill he was able to take note of the two bandits that were inside of the smoke. As the chaos insued below ground Keru would be quickly be tree hopping to the backside of the Tent in attempts to sneakily obtain the girl if he could he droped down to the ground landing in a bush softly. On the other side of the Tent Bruce would now slowly approach his first prey and the man could be heard trying to communicate with his partners. "Boss! we need you out here! i cant see in this thick smoke and i saw a huge dog!" the other bandit replied "Alright man just calm the fuck down! we've been through worse... FUCK JUST CALM DOWN" in reality the man was probably more friegthened then his partner but the only thing that proplexed Bruce is the fact that the man inside the tent didn't move a muscle during the whole ordeal but Bruce focused on the task at hand. Being able to easily locate the man he was make a gnarly growl that would echo through the campground before then leaping on to the first assilant who was calling out for help Bruce would sink his 7ft long cannines into his juglar vein as he began to use his utter jaw strength to crush his wind pipe and since his mouth was so wide it was able to break a piece of his spine and the last breath from the man simply eminated as a gurggle of his own blood. Keru from behind hearing what Bruce accomplished he would move towards the back of the tent as he didn't see anyone he opened it ever so slightly but being caught offguard as large man was standing their with chakra infused into his hands as he smiled and then spoke loudly. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!!" As the man activated the jutsu and Keru simply not being prepared for it the force of the wind and the power of the cutting wind in which he summouned blew him back with about 90 miles per hour and enough force for his body to crush through one tree, After said attack Keru laid their as he spewed some blood from his mouth. He slowly wobbled to his feet and returned to the battle field, After Bruce finished with his first kill blood covered his entire mouth along with abit of the fur on his head. The man who blew away Keru once again muttered the same technique as he cleared the smoke out of the area and got a clear eye view of who he was up aganist he then laughed a spoke with a deep undertone. "A stupid mutt and a Inuzuka kid, This shall be interesting" His partner now being able to see calmed himself and seeing what happened to his comrade and himself being an earth style user he attempted to trap Bruce between two slabs of earth-
 
-Bruce not reacting fast enough to ask the earth style jutsu his body was enclosed inside of it. He would begin to snarl angrily as he looked to see Keru sneaking up behind from the right side of the tent but he made sure not to let his eyes wander to the exact spot of the enemies might get an idea that the jig is up, The Wind Release user was quite the large man his muscles were quite bulky and it was obvious by the way his calf muscles extended out when he walked that he was quite fit for a bandit so Keru had to take extreme caution but first off all he had to take out his partner before he even attempted to make a move on the man himself because it would be an obvious suicide. The Wind Release Bandit would now walk over to the exposed head of Bruce now infusing large amounts of chakra into his palms he would smirk devilshly as he spoke silently "Wind Release: Gale Palm" Once the jutsu was actiavted he took the chakra gathered in his hands along with the wind around him and he compressed it together and shot it in bursts as Bruces body. Bruce would cringe and hold his breath as the blows to his body got more intense and painful with each rapid sucession it cutting into his fur at first but now it began to tear into his flesh as he bleeded perfiosuly. This sight of his lifetime friend being torn asunder by bandits turned him into something you should never want to provoke, The angry side of Keru his body began to emitnate a thick shroud of chakra and his cannines extended all the way out of his mouth he gripped one of his kunai attaching two bomb tags onto it he threw it 10ft behind them so the explosion would hurt but it would be used as more of a distraction and a way to help out Bruce. So once it blew up and Keru already having a good sense of their scent's due to him always keeping abit of chakra into his nose he obviously went for the Earth Release bandit first charging forward at about 15 miles per hour and due to the explosion he would be preoccupied with the smoke and his burning leg. So Keru charged headfirst delivering a firm headbutt now yelling as he executed a taijutsu technique "LEAF WHIRLWIND!!!" He would Infuse alot of chakra into his leg and begin to repeadtily kick him in the sterum each kick becoming stronger then the last as his power literally lifted him up into the air once they reached about 10 ft in the air Keru would spin himself in a 360 counter clockwise manner and he executed his final kick which was a spinning roundhouse to the back of the head and due to his physical power and the chakra infusion he went barreling into the ground headfirst and his neck made a loud echoing snap as he promptly died. But as Keru thought he was in the safe zone now to land and handle the last guy he would appear from down below him as he infused chakra into his throat and did one handsign, Ram, as he spoke loudly and laughed like a mad man on a mission "Wind Release: Sickle Weaseal!!!" Once the jutsu was executed he released all the air pressure building in his throat as it entrapped Keru in a cyclone of air that kept him upwards and the air currents were turned sharp and began to cut his body over and over again as blood splattered everywhere. Keru's vision began to fade the long the jutsu stayed intact but now that the Earth Release user's chakra faded the slabs of earth were now fairly weak so in hopes of distraction Bruce lunged at the Wind Release bandit's leg and attempted to sink his teeth into his knee-
 
-Bruce as the lunge was intitated and he was about a few feet from hitting the mark, Due to the pain of the previous attacks and his large body being condensed between two stones slabs for a good while. The pain thrawted his course and made him fall lower then his pre-planned spot so seeing as he didn't have much time to react he was able to get to the lower calf level his spread his jawline as far apart as she could and chomped down onto his calf allowing his 7 inch cannines to dig and tear through his flesh and muscle tissue as he thrashed with he locked jawed hopeing to cause more damage and pain then the intial bite itself. The Wind Release Bandit would then take his attention away from Keru and down to what he only saw as a dog he yell out in pain as it echoed abit into Keru's fading mind which allowed him to return mentally into a more awakened state then he was previously in. The Wind Release Bandit would now speak to Bruce "You pesky fucker... You never know when to give up, Il make sure to leave a lasting impression on you!" As the statement finished and Bruce continued to thrash with all his strength the Bandit would infuse a great amount of chakra into the sepreate leg that wasn't being torn into now using his physical power and the advantage of height and weight he would swing his leg roughly into the bottom chin of Bruce the kick snapping Bruce's head upwards as his jaw was easily fractured which a small whimper escaped from his mumbled mouth and blood began to drip from his nose. Keru smelling a scent he hasn't smelled since he was young and raising Bruce it was his blood. Keru now descenting to the ground his whole expression being over taken by rage once he was able to touch aganist the ground Bruce continued on his job even though his grip onto his calf lessened and lessened the pain now beginning to become less prevalent to the Bandit, His eyes panning over to Keru as he simply stood their with his head down the heavy shroud of his powerful chakra beginning to surrounded him most of it gathering around his arm as it began to spike with energy. Once his eyes motioned upwards and looked at the Bandit he would smile as he ran towards him, The Bandit knowing he was introuble and expended most of his chakra trying to keep the two a bay he would simply kick of Bruce due to his fractured Jaw and run towards Keru since he assumed he would have the physical edge he could easily win. But the Bandit undrestimated Bruce as he turned his back on him using the last bit of his strength he would charge behind the man and since he was obviously faster he would deliver a strong headbutt into the back of the mans bitten leg which would break the softened calf bone. Now lossing his balance and seeing Keru coming quickly the bandit smile as he gave his last words, "All of this for a stupid girl.... I guess life is really a bitch." The bandit would now close his eyes and once Keru reached him he screamed out in anger "THIS IS YOUR FINAL ATONEMENT!!!" Keru now cocked his arm all the way back and threw it forward into the mans chest using his physical strength and the burst of pure chakra he ruptured the mans chest, Broke through his ribs and his fist ended up outside the opposite end of his body Keru allowed the blood to flow on him as he simply let his arm rest inside the man's body.-
 
-Keru would begin to fumble around inside the body as he retracted his arm back from the opposite side he reached into his heart cavity feeling it still having a slight beat it would anger him so he took a firm around it and ripped it from his arteries. Once his arm fully retracted he had the mans non-beating heart in his hand he stepped to the side so that the man's dead body would simply fall onto the floor making a distinct thud, Keru's eyes panned over to Bruce as he gave him a smile his own blood and the Bandit's staining his teeth and once again looking to his dead body he would place the remainder of his bomb tags onto it now getting to a safe distance with Bruce in which he hoisted him over his shoulder so Bruce could preserve his energy. Out of the explosion distance he would chuck one simple Shuriken onto the body which would ignite all the bomb tags which destroyed his body and the remainder's along with his comrades who didn't die very from him, Once they were finally gone Keru knew the mission still was not over he laid Bruce out in the open and let him rest for the time being he now walked into the tent which was no longer occupied he found a small bamboo cage that rested a little girl in it, She seemingly slept throughout the whole ordeal between the Bandits, And Keru-Bruce combo. Instead of wakeing her like he usually would have he figured she had been through enough already so he looked around for a key. He saw one on the makeshift desk he simply gripped it and place it into the metal tumblr which unlocked the mechanism thus opening the cage, His rugged hands reached into the small girl placing her onto my shoulders and headed back outside. Keru would walk back over to Bruce who was fairly broken and bruised himself, So Keru took the liberty of placing him into his arms as he carried him craddle style in his arms. Keru making the smart decision instead of sticking to the roads he follow the Konohagakure river which would easily lead to a main road were they could be safe at, He find the one that connected the Harbor to Kono and since he traveled it before he had quite the good memory so for the now 4 hour walk home he simply minded his own business and allowed willpower to guide him as Bruce weakly spoke to him via Beast Human Telepathy "Thanks.... You'll be a great shinobi one day i just know it." Keru simply patted his head and replied as he continued to walk with them both "You be their right along with me buddy dont you worry."-
 
-Keru and his extra weight would be walking on the trail for about 4 hours once they Keru saw Kono in view he couldn't have been more happy or relived to say the least, His body and arm muscles were basically strecthed to all hell and his entire body was riddled with brusies and scars but he did what he had to do and got the mission done first and foremost. Has Keru reached the gate with his companion Bruce in his arms and the unconcious girl Chiko on his shoulders he now spoke to the gate guards. "Excuse me.... But could you please take my companion to the hospitial his jaw is fractured and my arms dont have enough strength to carry him any longer" The guards would nod as two worked in unison and carried him horizontally as they began to sprint off he would raise his paw up to Keru letting him know he would be fine, Ofcourse Keru hated to see his lifetime pal leave his side but it was the best for now and plus he would go to find him directly after he finished his mission. Keru would now lightly tread his beat up body through the streets villagers looking at him in wonder as some whispered and stared as he walk. "What happened to him?" Oh my he looks terrible!" "Man that guy is such a whimp i could take him." The words of the people filled the air but Keru simply paid no mind to it, After walking for awhile he once again reached the Blacksmiths shop the minute he heard his makeshift door bell ring his body jumped up and his eyes looked over to the door i stepped inside and handed him his unconcious daughter, He squeezed her so tight into his arms as he cried and began to speak to her "Chiko!!! Im so glad you came home safely to me...." His tears flowing like a still river and his voice raising high enough to crack a few times. "Your all i have left of your mother.... Your the only person who i still care about in this god-forsaken world." Keru simply stood their and watched as the intense emotion poured out of the man he could feel something deep in his heart trigger, He himself never really understanding the meaning of love or family due to the fact he never had any experince in both realms besides his unbreakable bond with Bruce. The blacksmith now recomposing himself would look me in the eyes and bow forward before speaking. "Thank you Keru, I owe you a debt i surely cannot repay..." Keru would simply giggle to himself abit as he turned around to exit. "No need, Tis my duty to the people of Konohagakure to make sure you are all safe. Just dont forget me once i become big someday you hear?!" He walked out of the shop and down the bustling streets towards the hospital hopeing to check on Bruce's condition.-
