Edit for new team

Three weeks after Eiji, Ryko and I become a unit we are sent on our first mission. We were to patrol the border towns between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.

We were to keep any foreigners from crossing into the Land of Fire. I was looking forward to pushing my abilities to their limits. I want to stop holding back.

The first few days it was uneventful and we became the three villagers' errand runners.

Today we were builders. A large group of hogs have gotten into the crop fields and making a mess. We managed to confine them into an empty field with the help of farmers who knew some Earth Jutsus.

We all tried learning the Jutsu but Eiji was the only one who could could learn it. I had to cheat and use my Sharigan to copy the jutsu.

Eiji and I finish the trench as Ryko and the others return from finishing the pin.

"Is everyone ready?" The chief asks and we nod.

"The trench walls are five feet high so they shouldn't jump over them. And with a good distraction they should make it to the end with no problem," I speak as I'm handed some water.

"Okay let's get moving then!" The elders say excited to have the pigs settle away from their precious farming lands.

We head to the make-shift pin made of earth walls, Ryoko who drew the short straw was left to be the distraction as the rest of us went from behind and kept the strays from escaping.

Eiji and I stand on either side of the wall as Ryko starts banging pots and pans to get the pig's attention.
"Earth Style: Earth wall!"

The wild pigs begin to rush towards the noise. As soon as they were all in the trenches we began helping get them to rush after Ryko.

"The head of the group is at the pin, well be in the clear shortly," Sensei Izuko says through the earpiece.

"What happened to him?" Ryko was out cold on the ground.

"A big pig caught him chest first as he was making his escape out the pin. Had to caral the damn thing after it escaped," Eiji burst out laughing.

"Not funny Eiji," I nudge him as I get back to the task on hand.

"How many are there?" I ask as I step away from the boar pit as the stragglers get in.

"Old man Kin said twenty-nine," Ryko says as he looks into the pin.

"There's only twenty-eight," Eiji starts sighing.

"Alright, I'll stay here with Ryko the two of you go searching for the last one. He must have avoided being corraled the first time around," Izuko Sensei speaks up.

"Yes, sir." Eiji and I head to the fields when we hear a scream coming from the small village.

"Follow the scream?" I ask and he nods, "follow the scream."

"You go left and I'll go right. We'll corner it and force it to go towards the pin." I nod and we split up.

I turn down the street ahead when I hear crashing, the pig rushes into view, "wind Style: Wind Cutter! He's headed down my way!" I yell as the boar rushes away from the houses and down towards me.

"Earth Style: earth wall!" Eiji blocks its path and he turns and heads towards the field, before creating more walls and boxing it in. The pig rushes back at jumps over the fence ramming right into an approaching Eiji.

"Oww," I rush after the pig who was headed towards the field.

"Get up Eiji I need your help. Can you throw me on top of the pig? I can paralyze it?"
