Mission Briefing:

The day was still early when Ruvaak heard of a group of bandits that were causing trouble and not letting people train down at a place called the Thunder Grounds, he had heard many stories of this place during his time in Kumogakure and knew it was a dangerous place in itself because of the high chance of lightning strikes, "What better way to test my skills" Ruvaak said to himself with a smile as he took off towards the gate of the village and out into the dangerous Thunder Grounds. It would be a great test of his skills to go there no matter if there was someone there causing problems or not, although he probably would of waited a while longer before attempting entry as he wasn't sure if he was fast enough to dodge lightning or not, he did have a great belief in his skills and thought that if anyone could dodge lightning it would be him.  Still anyone causing trouble needed to be dealt with and there was only one thing to do, as he approached the Thunder Grounds Ruvaak marveled at the amount of lightning strikes he saw, sometimes they were so rapid it looked as if they all struck at the sametime in different locations. Ruvaak knew he would have to be at his best and so decided to activate his Onikeigan just for the slight help in sight so the flash of lightning wouldn't blind or distract him, As he entered the Grounds Ruvaak began to feel his hairs standing on end  and knew that there was a lot of electrical energy flowing through the area and had to be on his guard if he didn't want to be struck by the lightning. Lightning crashed down on a lightning rod not even 5 meters away from him, thinking about it briefly Ruvaak decided it best to hurry and find these problem makers and deal with them quickly and get out of here before it was too late.

As he neared the middle of the Thunder Grounds he saw a man in the center of an area that didn't have any nearby lightning rods making the area look a little less dangerous however there were rapid lightning strikes all around the area giving it an ominous feel to it. As he approached he decided it best to pull out his bow just in case the man was fast and tried to attack him soon after entering the area and so grabbing his talisman he channeled his chakra into his right hand and formed his signature bow, the chakra pulsing with life as if reacting to the lightning around it. As he entered the lightning rod free area the man shouted out to him, "Hey Get out of here the Quad Crew run this joint now!" the Quad Crew? what kind of retarded name is that Ruvaak thought to himself with a smile on his face, "Crew? your the only one here, are the rest just hiding like little cowards?" Ruvaak yelled out to the man pausing for a second before adding, "maybe you should call yourselfs the Coward Crew instead". The man didn't seem to happy with that comment, as he rushed towards Ruvaak with his Kunai drawn and ready to cut Ruvaak when he got close, to bad that won't happen Ruvaak thought as he drew his bow and aimed for the man's leg, letting the arrow loose on a direct path for his intended target when suddenly the man dove to the side out of the arrows path, rolling before jumping back to his feet and resumed run straight at Ruvaak. So the man's fast is he? Well then let us see just how fast shall we? Ruvaak thought as he raised his bow again and readied another arrow to be loosed, this time he intentionally aimed the arrow to the right side of the mans upper body knowing that if he is as smart as he is fast he would move to the left and right into the second arrow. Ruvaak readied the first arrow, loosing it before quickly drawing the bow again and loosing the second arrow off to the left where the man would go to dodge the first arrow, with any luck the man wouldn't of seen him shoot the second arrow as he was distracted by the first and would walk or rather run straight into it.

Ruvaak's plan went off without a hitch the man saw the first arrow and quickly moved to the left out of its way, and straight into the second as it pieced his left shoulder, hmm Ruvaak thought to himself maybe I should of aimed a little closer to his heart, the man now enraged by the wound charged at Ruvaak with new vigor in his eyes quickly getting within close combat range and swinging his kunai wildly trying his best to hit something, Ruvaak just smiled as he dodged the man's attacks, the man was probably twice his own age and yet Ruvaak was more grounded and calm then the man who was allow his anger to cloud his attacks making them so wild and rash that any basic academy nin would be able to dodge them. The man was breathing hard and Ruvaak knew now was the time to strike he did a quick step to the side as the man lunged forward again at him and as the man passed him, Ruvaak struck him in the back with the hand holding the bow. The man stumbled forward straight into the field of lightning rods, stupidly grabbing one trying to keep his balance and not fall, Ruvaak could only watch as a bolt of lightning came down striking the rod the man clung to electrocuting him, Ruvaak tried his best to block out the man's screams as he died deciding to end the man's suffering he put an arrow through his hand to give him peace.

That was it, Ruvaak thought as he looked around the area, where were the rest of them the villagers he had heard had said that there were four people, could it be that they just went out for supplies or something? if that's the case maybe I can set a trap before they get back Ruvaak thought to himself as he walked back to the center of the area, he left his bow drawn knowing there was always a chance they could already be here or show up at anytime. Suddenly two bushes on either side of him rustled and two more people dressed the same as the man he just defeated came running at him he was trapped between them, he only had one arrow left thinking quickly he readied his chakra as soon as the two got into range he released the chakra in a blast from his body shouting out "Begone!" the two assailants when flying backwards out of his general radius, he could tell that they were disoriented from the blast of chakra and now was his time to strike but he would have to move fast he quickly drew his bow aiming at the first assailant as he looked to be the most disoriented of the two. The Arrow flew and pierced through the man's eye causing him to drop to the ground normally the arrow even if shot at the head wouldn't kill the man but with the arrow striking his eye it was met with less resistance and add to the fact of the close proximity of the target Ruvaak wasn't shock that the arrow dropped the man, besides he could still be alive, at least this way he would be out of the way. Ruvaak released his talisman causing the bow to dissipate, it was useless right now anyways due to the fact that he was out of arrows. He would have to move fast to take out the other one before he recovered, taking in a deep breath and channeling his chakra into his hands he raised them to his face forming a diamond and releasing the chakra in a blast with a small shout straight at the man's face, it covered the short 6 meters distance between Ruvaak and the man before Ruvaak could blink there was no way he could dodge the blast. The blast hit the man square in the face even if he wasn't dizzy from being shoved backwards just a few seconds ago there would of been no way to dodge it, the Blast hit and sent the man flipping backwards from the force hitting him in the face.

Now with those two down he needed to finish them off before they recovered or at least make sure they weren't going to recover, but at the same time he knew there was still another member so he kept his guard up as he approach the man he hit with is breath weapon, he knew it wasn't strong enough to kill the man even at this close range the most it would do is knock him out unless it was enough force to break the man's neck. he checked the man's pulse he was still alive but his breathing was weak, Ruvaak quickly pulled out his kunai and killed the man giving him a quick death, he went to head for the man that he shot with his arrow to make sure that he was down for the count, when he looked up he was shocked to see the man standing up, blood gushing from the hole where his eye once was, so he was still alive Ruvaak thought to himself, and he looks mad. The man wrapped a cloth around his eye and charged at Ruvaak ready to strike but he didn't have his kunai drawn meaning he may of dropped it, Ruvaak quickly focused chakra into his hands forming the small spikes in between his knuckles, the man only had one eye which means Ruvaak had an advantage no matter how skilled the man was in close combat. Ruvaak was able to dodge the mans first attack, it was clear that the man's perception was not in good standings as Ruvaak quickly punched the man three times in the stomach and moving away before the man could hit him. After a quick bump in the back from a lightning rod Ruvaak quickly dove off to the side away from them, he didn't want what happened to the first man to happen to him, "gotta avoid those things" Ruvaak said aloud mostly to himself, the man charged at him again, but missed yet again as Ruvaak stepped off to the side lying in a few well placed punches as the man charged by, blood was flowing from the man now it wouldn't be long before Ruvaak won this fight, but in the back of his mind Ruvaak knew there was still another here somewhere hiding and watching him judging him and his skill. Ruvaak decided to end this fight pulling out his kunai again he readied himself before running towards the man and driving his kunai into his chest the man wasn't able to stop him in time and fell to the ground from the force of Ruvaak running into him, Ruvaak saw the life leave the man's eye as he died. Hearing the sounds of footsteps not far from him he quickly jumped to his feet, grabbing his kunai out of the man's chest in the process, looking towards where the sound was coming from. Approaching him was a man dressed in the same attire as the rest of them, the only difference was that this one was trembling so hard that Ruvaak could hear his knees chattering together. He begged Ruvaak to spar his life that he didn't want any part of the group to begin with but he was forced by the others to join them and serve them, he emptied his heart up to Ruvaak on his knees begging for his life, Ruvaak looked to the man and scoffed, "You take me for a fool, no one can force you to do something you don't want to and you're old enough that you could of done something to stop these idiots, no the truth is your comrade there had more courage than you, even with one eye he fought me. You are nothing more than  a coward and you don't deserve the life you have" the man became frantic at Ruvaak's words rushing to his feet he turned quickly and ran away from him, "oh no you don't" Ruvaak said as he quickly performed a string of hand seals, reaching out with his chakra grabbing nearby rocks and other things scattered on the ground and forming them into compact projectiles with sharp edges, hurtling them towards the coward Ruvaak watched as all ten of them struck the man in the back and a couple in the head of the man as he ran away, knocking him to the ground Ruvaak approached still with his guard up and checked the man's pulse he was dead, and therefore Ruvaak needed to get out of here before lightning decided to strike him. He would go tell the officials of what happened here and of the bodies
