Today was rather cloudy, and a slight trace of fog was settled down in the village. Humidity was never kind to those who lurked outside, or honestly...inside. It was just nasty all together. Today's mission was to gather the supplies specified which was in the storage room of the Kage Building. It was detailed there was an order of supplies for the war games to the west of the village, along with a nice little treat for the captain, but it was all based on speed. Outside there was a cart parked on the side of the mansion for Daichi to use, but it was a pull cart...no extra hands, or even a horse. //Ugh...another side work mission....// his first thoughts for the day were rather negative, and quickly were replaced with more inspiring words.
"This is one step closer to becoming a Chuunin of the Hidden Leaf!" his voice roared with confidence as he belted back and forth to load up the cart. It took roughly five minutes for him to get all the boxes, crates, and bags onto the cart. The ice-cream was actually in a bag, and the Uzumaki made sure it was spaced out safely so it wasn't ruined. "Who the heck turns a priority mission into a ice cream run....?" rhetorically answering the question himself.
The Genin moved forward to the front of the cart, stepping over the large wooden bar which was hooked to two more which connected to the cart. A large sigh was let out, exhaling, and then inhaling. A few standard stretches were done beforehand, and then he bent over to lift the bar. It was easier than expected, considering most of the weight would be pulled based on his leg muscles. The most tasking part, however, was the long distance to the war games. None-the-less he was excited considering he hadn't participated in them for quite some time, and it'd be neat to be involved in some manner.
The travel was started by taking a northern route into the streets of the village, seeing lack of people today, and obviously they were crowding inside. Like it was mentioned earlier...not many people really enjoyed the mist. Thoughts started to flow through his mind as he continued to walk forward, trying to pass the time, and subside the little pain he had until later. This weather made him curious of Kirigakure, and how they dealt with it all the time. Those ninja must be very prepared, and capable of fighting in some of the shittiest situations.
//I wonder how I'd fair against one of those shinobi....// he thought to himself, questioning his own abilities, and understanding that his opponents were probably some of the best. That's when he reached the main crossroads of the village before the bridge leading across the main river. A quick turn right, and he was now headed west of the village. Luckily for him he understood north was the way he came from, or else he would have headed in the complete opposite direction. It wasn't much longer now, clouds of smoke could be made out, and obviously one of the simulations had started.
It caused Daichi to start to rush, trotting now, and obviously feeling the burn. Sweat was accumulating on the brows, bridge of his nose, and chin. It was nothing though, and he ignored it for the most part. It was astonishing to be able to witness such a thing again.....
"H-hey! Are you the supply?" a firm, hardened voice bellowed from the fog.
"Yeah! Sure am!" Daichi replied as he started to slow up, and was now able to see the obvious jounin clearly. "Awesome! My ice cream~ It didn't get ruined did it!?" the superiors concerned were mostly fixated on his treat, and it made the Genin question the authority presented before him. "N-no...I made sure it was seperated..." the Uzumaki answered in returned. The boy pulled the ice cream bag from the cart, and handed it off. It was a moment of suspense as the Jounin inspected the package, giving some unusual looks...just before he gave an approving nod.
"Good work, Cadet! I'll give a good word of your mission to the Kage, thank you~" the Jounin noted to Daichi before waving him off, heading back into the field, and chowing down on some prepackaged icecream cones.
