- Mission Details :
- Mission name: Chase the White Rabbit – Part 2: Down the Rabbit Hole
Mission Rank: B Rank
Objective: Follow the escaped Rabbit down the hole and in to the Warren maze
Location: Warren Maze
Reward: 4 Eggs
Mission Description: The kids have had their fun but now the sneaky bunny has escaped down a hole and in to the surprisingly large tunnels underneath. Fight your way past roots, rocks and nasty critters until you find that sneaky Rabbit and bring him to the surface.
Mission Details: At the bottom most corner of the Valley there is a large cave that marks the entrance to the Warren Maze. You will need to make your way from this point, all the way to its center where the rabbit is sleeping. The tunnels you travel through are approximately 7 foot tall and wide enough for four men to stand side by side, however they are lined with thick roots, large rocks and insects the size of small animals. Cave in’s are possible and there is little light so be careful what you bring and good luck. This mission requires a word count of 1500
It seemed like it had only been a couple of hours since Gin had returned that goddamn rabbit to the Administrative Office. She had been walking about town to see if she could finally find food. Fortunately for her, she was able to find someone that was kind enough to just give her the money she needed to buy a couple of rice balls at the convenience store. Ok, so maybe that was an exaggeration. The guy hadn't exactly given her money of his own free will. It was more like she had intimidated him enough that he decided it was best to just offer to pay her to leave him alone. In any case, it wasn't as if Gin had resorted to any kind of violence to get the money, so it hadn't been an actual mugging. Her expression - an intimidating smile, to be exact - of sheer menace and anger was enough for him to drop all of his cash. Nice. Now the former Kazekage knew that she could use this whenever she needed to get some quick money. In any case, it was easier and faster than going on stupid missions like the one she had gone on a few hours ago. Such a waste of time for such a miserable reward. Seriously, what was she supposed to do with the eggs? It didn't look like she could eat them and honestly, she didn't want to risk the nausea and indigestion.
That brought her to her current situation. As she was munching on a rice ball - this one was filled with salmon and wasabi - a small boy came to her to deliver a letter from the village's officials, it seemed. She opened it one the spot, her curiosity getting the better of her. The young woman read through the words quickly the first time and cocked an eyebrow in confusion. This sounded too similar to the assignment that she had just gone on. It was something about a white rabbit needing retrieval. She looked past the letter to tell the boy that this had to be some sort of mistake, but he was gone before she could. She read the letter again, this time with more care. Maybe it was just a report hat needed her signature? It sounded plausible. Upon closer inspection, however, she noticed that it wasn't. It was actually a request for another mission. Apparently, it seemed like the idiots that she had given the rabbit to had managed to let it escape - something went wrong when they tried to pet it and feed it treats to get good luck.
For a moment, Gin thought about turning it down. She read the bit about "an even bigger reward" and scoffed loudly. It was probably more eggs or something as equally useless. She kept munching on the rice ball as she considered her options. She could just spend the morning lounging about, but that was boring. She could sped it training, but that was what she had planned for the afternoon. Then again, one could never have enough training and there were several techniques that she had to work on. Yes, that seemed to be the most feasible option. It was at that point that she remembered the stupid rabbit making some sort of mocking expression at Gin's expense when she turned it in, like it had planned this all along and knew that Gin's reward wasn't anything that she was looking for, expecting, or wanting. And she would be damned if she let a stupid fluff ball like that get the better of her. Fire lit up in her eyes. She would get that thing back to the Administrative Office. Her mildly wounded pride relied on this. And she would be damned if she let a stupid looking animal one up her at any point in her life. She stuffed the rest of her food in her mouth and set off.
Gin Kuroka was starting to hate rabbits at this point.
In any case, that was how Gin found herself at the entrance of a tunnel with a sign labeled "The Warren Maze." She supposed that the rabbit was at the end of the criss-crossing tunnels that composed the labyrinth. Gin nodded to herself and placed one foot inside. The report said that the place was crawling with large bugs and wild roots. It was also prone to cave-ins. For a moment, she was grateful that she had taken the time to learn Doton as an element. It would definitely come in handy during this little adventure. Gin smirked. The place was, of course, shrouded in a pitch black darkness. Closing her eyes an opening them again once more, she activated her mechanical eye so that she could better perceive her surroundings. She drew one of her basic swords - Sabaku no Bara - and began moving forward. Drawing any other weapon more than that would have been overkill. And sure, Gin wasn't exactly against that, but she could recognize a landmark when she saw one.
The sign outside was impeccably kept, as were the woods around the area. Gin had a bit of a soft spot for places like these, which often defined a village's culture or made up a significant part of its history. In this case, it was probably home to some unique form of wildlife. She would rather not have to ruin the entire thing by blowing it up from the inside. Sure, she cold have made this incredibly simple by incinerating everything in her path with a fire ball and then modifying the tunnels to her will using her war hammer, Jishin, but again, that would have led to pulverizing the place and leaving it barely recognizable. So onward it was, making sure to use more simple techniques to get the job done.
