- Mission:
- Mission name: Safety Inspections.
Mission rank: C-Rank.
Objective: Test some new gadgets for military research and development before they get mass produced for field testing.
Location: Konoha.
Reward: Alternate Reward: 1 free C-rank jutsu
Mission description: Research and development for the military has invented some things, and they're not sure whether or not they want to spend the time mass producing them for field testing. They want you to take an invention or two and test it for them yourself and report back with your findings.
Mission Details: You get one or two inventions, they'll often be crazy and impractical, but some are brilliant, test them and report your findings.
This assignment didn't seem like a very appropriate assignment for me. My style of ninjutsu didn't use many items, and I didn't have any battlefield experience anyways, except for a skirmish with a couple of wolves. Still, I had to do the mission I was assigned.
I had to go to a nearby farm that could be used as a testing ground. A farmhouse had already been converted into a storehouse for shinobi weapons. I knew of the place, but I'd never been there before. If I were to wander, I would usually explore the wilderness instead of farmland.
I arrived at the door of the main building and knocked. It took a while, but a boy about my age finally opened the door. He looked at me quizzically and asked me a question.
"Hey, who are you?"
I was about to respond with my mission (maybe even question if I was in the right place) when a woman with long, grey-brown hair came around a corner to meet me.
"I'm sorry, are you the ninja from Konoha?"
I nodded
"Hi, sorry about the confusion, (gesturing towards the boy) I kinda forgot to tell him. Why don't you come in?"
I entered the cluttered house, and followed the woman, who introduced herself as Edina, and the boy, who was introduced as her apprentice, Asida. From the way that they spoke I could tell they both had similar personalities. They were both smart, but very disorganized. Edina soon sent Asida to fetch a recent invention of hers.
When he returned, he had in his hands a peculiar looking sword with a very bulky hilt.
"This is a specially designed sword. It is meant to allow ninja to wield fire without having an affinity for the element. The blade is coated in a special thin layer of wax and oil. When a switch on the hilt is hit, a spark ignites the sword."
Huh...interesting. I really wanted to see how well this worked. Asida handed it to me, showing me where the switch was and where the spark would light.
"Coincidentally, we wanted to test these fireproof gloves... so if anything goes wrong with the sword, you'll have these!"
I didn't exactly trust untested safety equipment, but I knew what I signed up for. This time, Edina handed me the gloves. I put them on. They were suprisinglylight and they were decently comfortable. Hopefully they were fireproof
"One more thing," commented Edina, "We wanted to test a new, lighter, model of shuriken."
She handed me a small pouch of them.
"Ok! Get going! Make sure to stress the equipment, we don't want it breaking on assignment!"
