A New Story

Fuuinjutsu Hard Math:

Enveloped in my faded red sash, once I had retrieved the purple rod all the stone guardians crumbled to dust. It was quite odd really but no one said a word of complaint. We headed out of the temple in silence, Hinata and Tenten marvelled at the opaque rod I carried but no one dared touch it with their bare hands. While traversing through the network of tunnels, a few stone door ways of the temple, that we hadn't noticed before, crumbled away revealing a treasure trove of ancient weapons and scrolls. We weren't assigned to bring anything back from our mission, but I felt compelled to carry this purple rod out from the centre of the temple and with me back to the decommission desk.

Leaping over roof tops, it was the middle of the night, we arrived at the mission desk to report our mission a success. Somehow the purple rod was linked to both the guardians and traps of the temple, with it removed all the traps we were assigned to decommission either crumbled to dust or were rendered inactive. Disregarding Mura's tired lizard eyes, and likewise everyone was pretty fatigued, we were forced to fill out and hand in our mission reports before being sent home. I don't know why they assigned our duties so late in the day but I suppose it was good for the Village that these things got done as soon as possible.

Feeling my hands come away from the purple rod, I sensed an intrinsic wrong on letting go, my sash handed back to me almost as if in condolence. Perhaps I felt I was betraying my word to the man of stone to whom I promised to safe guard the knowledge that he protected. The knowledge that was the rod, I still don't quite get why the being of stone was left to guard it, but... It was out of my hands, I wouldn't have been allowed to keep it anyway, it is the property of the Leaf's now.

Heading home I felt my mind grow tired... this mission did put quite a strain on me. Maybe two hours extra sleep isn't a bad idea. I wonder how Amoroto and Hakari did on their missions?

...

Within the confines of my warm bed, the blankets curled up to nestle me in a comforting embrace, the world suddenly turned ice hot! My eyes piercing through the bright light as the curtains on my room were force open with a loud bang of volume, reverberating from my Mother's voice.

"Hakari I've given you plenty of chances, now you better get up!" My Mother held another ice cold cup of water, threatening to splash it on my face yet again.

"Mom! It is a Saturday!" This is a cruel and unusual punishment, and for what! I swear I didn't prank anyone this time. I'm not taking any chances, I wouldn't want to incurring her wrath. I tossed aside the wet blanket and stepped one foot out just in case I needed to run.

"Ninja wake up bright an early, and you have an Argies Ages here to see you." Oh Argies, no wonder I'm being punished. "Ninja wake early, I only hope you will follow your captains example." Pointing her hand to my adjoining bathroom, away from the boys shared unit, Mom ordered me to get dressed for a ninja day out. "Now get ready before I have to invite him in, you know how the boys get." I didn't want another fight on our hands but I thought it unlikely that they would fight with Argies while she's here...

Walking off I grumbled "...Captain" Argies isn't our captain, his rank might say so but he is as much a Genin as Amoroto and I. I hope he has a good reason for waking me up so early, there will be consequences!

...

In a hurry Hakari stepped out the front door to join her teammate Argies, her mother waving goodbye standing under the door way to whisper a blessing of luck. Argies said nothing, his face red and his feet quick to fall into step, anything to get away from her brothers that were sure to be close by. Hakari caught on to where they were going, keeping in step with Argies to their training grounds.
