Dray lay in bed as he commended himself. He was happy with his last mission, taking care of savage coyotes. The animals had been terrorizing the villagers of iwagakure at the town's gates and the villagers were afraid to go out besides, the wild animals had even killed a young innocent boy, according to the villager's report. Out of curiousity and in an attempt to gain a bit of trust from the villagers, dray went to the village gates to check out the situation. He had recently discovered his abilities so he was somehow confident that he could hold his ground against a few things. Dray go to the outsides of the village and these savage beasts attacked him. If he remembered well, the first coyote died with three kunais stucked into his neck, the second one was skewered to death by doton spikes, the third and fourth ones were blasted into the sky with a dozen earth missles with their intestines raining downwards while the last one was captured and brought into the water.
This action of dray did not earn him much praises but it did earn him trust from a few higher authorities of iwagakure no sato. A common stranger like him, they had no option but to commend his skills in killing four wild coyotes and even bringing back one alive. It was marvellous.

Immediately dray handed over the wild coyotes to the authorities in charge, he was directed to a few other places. He also had no choice, he had to comply for their trust was paramount to his stay and safety in the village.
He followed the directions and he was brought to the administration office of iwagakure no sato. A few questions were asked by a lady and in the end, dray was given a mission scroll. The first he had ever received in the land of stone. Dray kindly collected it and exited the building without opening it. He wondered what the scroll would entail. Was he to go to the den of coyotes if they had one? Or he was to capture wild animals? He could not imagine. Not until todays was he recognized in iwagakure no sato but something else told him that he was still under surveillance so he had to behave. He believed the instincts. His instincts were hardly wrong and he had learnt to follow them. Until he reached the abandoned house- his home, the green mission scroll remains sealed.

Upon getting home, dray went straight to his room and carfully placed the mission scroll on the top of his bed side drawer before going down to the basement work shop.
Dray had been reading scrolls and huge books regarding puppetry. The kagutsu art of shinobi hood but there was something else about this abandoned house that baffled dray. The day before, which was the day before he went on the coyote mission, he found a staff in an enclosed locker of the basement workshop. The locker contained a golden staff with numerous rings at the top though dray did not touch the staff. He wondered who was it that lived in this house. He always thought the person who was surely a man, was a puppeteer but this new discovery baffled him. What would a golden staff be doing in the locker of the basement workshop. Dray was curious. He went to the locker and stood looking at it for a while before opening it..
As the locker opened, a piece of paper fell out.. Dray was suprised for it did not fall out the first time he had opened the locker. He bent down to pick up the paper as he then stood upright and followed the paper's contents with his eyes..
"Here I am, in my little basement that I call my true home. Making puppets all day out of the imagination of this little head of mine. Today, I shall write down my plans for the future for what my father once was, I shall make. For my father was a bhuddist, his staff, the shakujo, shall live forver and shall be wielded by a puppet I shall make in my father's form. The puppet shall hold the Shakujo and make this wish for all sentient beings, he gather together a great assembly of enemies, and show the Buddha's true path for I shall control him. With this shakujo shall he destroy anyone who crosses my path.
From a pure heart in the past, my father gave the Three Treasures. Now emanating a pure heart he shall give the Three Treasures. In the future he will purify the heart of humanity and give the Three Treasures.
I pray that all my puppets become one day attain true human life and listen to me as their creator, to the extent that all their carvings shall be closed and they shall have skin.
I vow that they shall be perfect beings and perfect their generosity with great mercy and compassion; perfecting their morality with great mercy and compassion; perfect their patience with great mercy and compassion; perfect their energy with great mercy and compassion; perfect their meditation with great mercy and compassion; perfect their wisdom with great mercy and compassion but even with all these qualities shall they squash their enemies like flies.
For the benefit of all beings, I wish for a change of heart in the harmful beings of the world: the cruel and wicked people; the devils and evil spirits; the fierce animals, poisonous snakes and insects. I wish that all these beings hear the sound of the Shakujo, abandon all harm, emanate the Heart, act with myriad skillful means, and quickly attain enlightenment or I shall command my puppets to instill the fear in them so they might do so..
All Buddhas of the past have abandoned errors and taken hold of the Shakujo. Buddhas of the present and those now becoming Buddhas take hold of the Shakujo. Those who become Buddhas in a life yet to come will take hold of the Shakujo. For this puppet itself shall become a bhudda and carry this shakujo.
My future ambition, this shall be.."

Dray was puzzled as he read the letter. He wondered what the person in the letter was talking about. He understood the person wanted to make a puppet and somehow give life to it and that the puppet would wield a sha..kkujo or whatever it was called.. As dray mentioned the shakujo, he shifted his eyes to the golden staff in the locker and quickly analysed the fact that the father of the person in the letter once wielded the shakujo probably when he was alive so the man in the letter wanted to make a puppet in his father's image that would wield this weapon but where was the man in the letter? Where was the puppet if he had made it? This was a mystery....

Dray shoved the previous day's event in a corner of his head as he focused on the present. The time to dwell on the past would come. He got out of bed and stretched a bit. He walked over to the window and looked out. The abandoned house was just a storey building so he could still see quite a distance from his room that was on the upper floor of the house. He sighed as he walked back and sat on the bed. He moved to the side of the bed and picked up the scroll from on top of the bed side drawer. He unfolded the green scroll and read it's content to himself in his mind..
Mission name: The Infinity Gang. The mission's name first put him back but he continued reading the mission with the mission's name still lingering in his mind... The infinity gang...
Mission rank: B
Objective: Go and wipe out the Infinity gang and their leader. So, this was a mission that involved death. The mission required the death of the gang leader but indirectly, it was either his death or the gang leader because he just wouldn't walk up to the gang leader and ask for his head on a plate. He had a gang and he had to be quite good to be their leade.
Location: The Wild West. Dray knew where this was. He had been there just once and even that once was enough for him to check out the terrain and he knew how to prepare.
Reward: 310. So this mission was going to earn him some money. That was ok for he could use the money to buy some equipments to work with.
Mission description: One of the most prominent Gangs in
the area call themselves the infinity gang. You are to go
there and wipe them out. If some escape that is fine but
slaughter their leader with out fail. Now, this was the main part of the mission. It detailed exactly what the mission was about. So dray was to solely focus on the leader and if some ran away, that was no problem. It was more like if the head fell, the body was useless but still, dray would of course have to go through the whole gang before getting to the leader. He had to formate some sort of strategy.

Dray laid down the scroll on the bed as his brain began working. Thinking of the numerous ways he could use in combat. He had his bath in a split second and slipped into his regular clothes. Arming himself with his usual basic projectiles that weren't to be underestimated when used by him, he left the abandoned house- his home.
He went in the direction of the wild west hoping to face the infinity gang head on. He was aware that the vast grounds of the wild west were empty and that they were fragile. He tried to understand that the infinity gang would have known so too but if not, then that was to their disadvantage and to his advantage. Dray continued walking as he felt the cool breeze of iwagakure no sato. The sweet and pure smell that would soon be filled with the blood of a certain man. Dray walked down the slope as he kept his head straight. His face was as calm as ever. It showed no fear neither did it show any confidence. It would take a sorcerer to read dray's mind through his face for all dray wanted was to get this done with. He still had a mystery to solve in his own home.

Dray entered into the territory of the wild west as he was faced with nothingness. Just a vast area of fragile land. He wondered where anyone could hide for the area was so flat and without any trees, boulders or coverings. Dray snapped out of his thoughts as he saw that he had not actually gotten to the wild wests. He kept his head straight until he actually got there. These fearless gang members had actually camped here the night before. They sure had guts or so dray thought... His presence seemed to alert them as they came out in their numbers. All dray knew was that they were numbers, befitting their name, the infinity gang.
As some of them held their ground, the rest seemed to alert their leader.. The leader of the gang came out ofa seperate tent. He was much more bigger than the rest of the gang members. He laughed as he saw dray and directed his right hand forward commanding the gang members to attack. Dray held his ground and did not move. He simply fixed his eyes on the moving gang members. He saw them remove kunais and move carefully. About fifteen to twenty of theses gang members surrounded dray with their kunais. Once the circle was locked, they charged in from ten metres away while the gang leader and the remaining gang members stood to watch the loss of their fellow members.

Dray had calculated their distance and he knew just what to do. Once they got within five metres of him, dray performed just a single hand seal which was the snake handseal and in a rotating motion, dray shot out a great volume of water from his mouth towards the gang members that circled him. They were in too close that the force of the water wave would stun them and push them way back, rendering them unable to stand for quite a while. Dray was sure the gang leader and the remaining gang members saw their mates crash into the floor with a single attack by dray. The area was now covered in water and about twenty gang members were laying on the floor unable to stand.
Dray put his right hand forward and urged the remaining members to come forward. The stupid gang members charged forward with their leader standing backwards and probably waiting for a one on one with dray. The water covering the area had probably caused the already fragile earth to melt and cause openings as dray saw about five gang members in different location get suck below the water and definetly into the earth. The others were taking aback but they still weren't sure of what to do.
Dray simply coated his feet with chakra as his legs floated above the water.

The gang leader who was filled with rage revealed his weapon which was a combination of an axe and a spear as he ordered the last batch of warriors to go forward. The gang members showed fear in their eyes but their leader probably did not tolerate it. Hoping to justify their leader's command, the rushed forward in their numbers of about twenty. The water from dray's previous technique that enveloped the land had definetly already mixed with the naturally fragile land and this reaction had caused it to melt and form holes as dray and almost every one present could see about seven of the gang members plunge below the water deep down into the earth and never to be seen again.
The rest of the bandits gulped as they charged on. Seeing what had happened, dray too necessary precautions as he coated his feet with chakra enabling him to stand atop the water itself making it appear as if he was floating. As the second batch of gang members got withing about seven metres of him, dray performed the Ox → Monkey → Hare → Rat → Boar → Bird → Ox → Horse → Bird → Rat → Tiger → Dog → Tiger → Snake → Ox → Ram → Snake → Boar → Ram → Rat → Yang Water → Monkey → Bird → Dragon → Bird → Ox → Horse → Ram → Tiger → Snake → Rat → Monkey → Hare → Boar → Dragon → Ram → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Bird → Yang Water → Rat → Boar → Bird hand seals. The long sequence of jutsu did not take more than a few seconds and behold, a living creature was born. The gang members' legs stuck to the ground. All they could do was to stare in awe. Such magnificence. Out of the body of water rose a head, a head adorned with water spikes followed by the body, it was a beautiful water dragon. It was nice to stare and admire but this baby meant business. The dragon's eye lit bright yellow and it rose in it's height. Going straight to the end of the line, the dragon charged into the line of gang members with full speed and sheer force. It broke through the line as it sent the ninjas flying. Some of them would suffer broken bones while some would suffer great bruises to their unprotected skin and at most, the dragon would submerged the rest of them in the already present body to water and even knock out most of the already laying victims before dray would return the water dragon to it's home.

Now, it was dray versus the gang leader. A one on one battle but dray did not even consider it to be a battle as it would soon be over. The gang itself dwelt on a close ranged fighting style as it could be seen in the first batch, the second batch and even the gang master's choice of weapon. Dray loved calculations and he worked with ranges. He wated for the gang leader to come as he held his ground. It was a brilliant feat that dray had bot moved a single foot forward since he had gotten there. The gang master had a bit of skill as could be seen with him running on the water using the water walking practice technique. Dray well knew what he had planned, a skewering death. Dray did not move a finger as the opponent approached. He had to make it real, to look so defenseless so they opponent would not change his move, so he would attack as he had planned, for dray had somehow analysed his move
The gang master got within five metres,.four, three two one, a few inches as he raised his helbard, crossing a few more inches, taking the strike directly to dray's face but still, dray did not move. Just a few inches to impact when the predator had thought he had caught his prey, both of dray's arms changed into sharp wooden spikes as he defended his face from the axey part of the weapon with his left wooden arm and impaled the opponent straight in the heart with his right arm ....The predator had become the prey... The man slumped downwards as he lost his grip on his weapon, with a last gasp, life left him.

Seeing this event, the fall of the one they called mighty, those who could still move scampered away while the others laid down helplessly. For the first time since dray had gotten there, he lifted his foot and turned backwards to leave. His mission here was done.
