Mission description: “It’s been known to me by strange stones which have fallen on some small islands on the boarder of Kiri, that the remains of the Village hidden in the sky is nearby in our waters. Take these co-ordinates and travel to the location of the sunken city by any means necessary. Its infrastructure made for high altitude will no doubt cause it to pocket air still. Find anything of use, and return it. Though be warned, the place is treacherous, there’s no telling what monsters are down there.”
Mission details: The ninja, through whatever means they are able, jutsu, underwater machine, or swimming make their way to the depths of an oceanic ridge, where the fallen city of the sky lies. Within it is lost knowledge, Fuuton jutsu scrolls, wealth, weapons, technology, designs, Bring back what you are able to. But be warned, there’s something down there.
The monster lurking there will need to be beaten for you to escape. It’s a black skinned beast which seems to be able to change its shape. It is able to form its body into tendrils or limbs which hit with B rank strength or can be moulded into B rank blades, capable of breaking or cutting through skin, flesh and bone. It is considered to have B rank Taijutsu but has A rank Speed and Strength, measuring anywhere up to 15 feet high in whatever form it takes, ‘killing’ it causes it to hibernate and regenerate.
Teru Uchiha was standing alone at the outskirts of the village. To her surprise, she was nervous about this newly assigned mission. It was one that was more daring than the other missions she had ever faced. She felt a chill run up her spine and into her shoulders. Teru blinked and brought a hand to her collarbone. Her fingers tapped gently against her skin as she considered how this mission would turn out. It was frightening, in a way. But, she was being trained by a considerably talented ninja of Kirigakure. That training would reflect in her abilities and performance, undoubtedly. Well, she was going to prove that she was worth something. Yes! She was a developing kunoichi. There was much she needed to do to honor her vows and dreams. This mission would propel her straight to success. There was going to be a witness to that success, too. The man that she had met on another mission. Teru remembered his name surprisingly well. Burittsu was what it was, no surname given. He had proved to her that last time that he was a truly capable individual. So, it was more of a blessing to have him as a companion again. Well, whenever he would show his face, she would be ready to get going on this decisive mission.
Now that she thought about when Burittsu would arrive, she sighed and pouted for a moment. This was something that happened the last time, too. About an hour had gone by since Teru first got to the meeting destination where the land met the water. She received the mission, and she was instructed to meet with her partner, Burittsu. However, there was no sign of him for the longest time. Ah, yes, it was exactly like that one day. Teru pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a sigh of frustration. This was the second time she would have to deal with a tardy. What was his excuse going to be this time? Was he going to be lost on the path of life? Perhaps a cursed cat was crossing his path, and he had to take the long way around to get to where she was. It was also possible that he woke up a tad too late and was rushing to get himself ready. Or was it? Teru was unsure about the reasons, but she was more than certain that he was beyond late.
It was becoming a comical mess, she thought. To add to the comedy of the moment that was to come, she would berate Burittsu about his tardiness and give him a piece of her mind. Although, that would likely go on to becoming a rude gesture to one of her superiors. Apparent superiors. So, Teru found a boulder protruding from the earth and sat on it. There, she would await the arrival of Burittsu before going on to fulfill the conditions of the mission granted to them. At least there was still plenty of daylight. Depending on how long it took them to get underwater to where the target was, there would probably still be a fair amount left.
Teru thought no more of Burittsu for a moment. Her thoughts fled back to the mission. A sunken city and possible sightings of a sea monster. Considering the difficulty of the mission, it surely had to be safe to say that it was going to be a strong foe. That was if they did in fact run into it. The chances were high, though. So, a plan would have to be formed before rushing into the waters. Teru closed her eyes and thought to herself about what could be done. Between her and Burittsu, it would probably be best to have the latter hold off the monster while she carried on to collect the target. Then again.... she could snag the opportunity to go in for the win and attempt to take it down herself. Teru smiled at the thought. She pictured herself forcing the sea creature onto land and standing on its head with a proud look on her face. It would make a great trophy to brag about her efforts. Ah, but Teru shook her head and reminded herself that she was going to need to be working as a cooperator. The leading figure, who was not her, would be determining who did what. Another time, when she was the one in the lead, however, would be the time she made the ultimate move for a successful mission.
