Two weeks done passed since Kensaku, and his twin, first mission as genins of Iwagakure no Sato. The mission itself exposing them both of the horrors of what comes with their chosen occupation. There is one thing to talk about or hear the stories of shinobi doing what is needed to defend their home, but to exactly experience it for themselves? Now, that was something entirely different, and the romanized versions often told by some shinobi, or seen written about in books, did not do justice to what exactly occurs doing the missions, and the pair found out the hard way when they took the lives of another. The realization of what they did hit them soon afterward, but none dare to mention it to their parents, only the day after did they confided within one another, and a pact between them was formed. A promise to never lose themselves doing the missions. To never take lives without carelessly, and when it is required, always remember the reason why they were doing it was beside them and at home.
Sun rays snaked through the blinds one of the twins, licking their face laying on a desk with papers scattered about, urging them to get up, only to receive a groan in response. “Go away.”, Kensaku sleepily spoke at not in particular as he tried to go back to sleep with no success. Groaning again from not being able to fall asleep, his eyes fluttered open, only to stare at a piece of paper which was the blueprint for a puppet he had been thinking about making. Blinking once, twice, three times, he raised his head off of the desk, a piece of paper tagging alone for the ride. “What is this?”, He mused to himself, grabbing the piece of paper off his face and staring at what was written on it. Certain words stood out amongst the white sheet, ‘terrain altering,’ ‘enclosure,’ ‘earth chakra,’ ‘malleable’ that were all connected to one another by squiggly lines going in a chaotic manner. At the bottom of the paper was a series of small pictures of a dome rising from the earth. It was apparent, at least to any other shinobi, the sheet was detailing the creation of a doton jutsu of some kind. Other specifics about the technique could be taken from the picture, but those were not important. Taking another glance over the paper, Kensaku set it back down on the desk, away from the blueprint of his new puppet.
“I will complete that later.”He spoke, talking about the jutsu which he was creating, and nearing its final stages of completion. Stretches, he winced when his bones started popping, but groan in satisfaction after they were done. Pushing back the wooden chair, he stood up and looked at the clock, on a stand near his bed, which read 6:30 am. He frowned, realizing he only got just over four hours of sleep, in part due to his late night working. No matter, the amount of sleep would be sufficient for today, at least he hoped.
Walking towards his bed, where more books laid scattered about, opened to random pages that talked about a variety of different topics, Kensaku began gathering them as his mind wondered on what he was going to do today. Outside of working on his new puppet idea, jutsu creation, and spending time with his twin and family, he did not have many plans for today. “Maybe I can see if Niala is up for a mission.”, As if someone was listening to his words, there was a knock at his door. “Son, can I come in?”, Immediately he knew who the person was, his father, the man’s deep voice given it away entirely. Giving the man permission to come in, Kensaku went to put the books on their correct placement on his shelf as his father walked in, dressed in his shinobi attire and holding a scroll.
“Good morning, dad.”, Kensaku greeted, turning to give his father his undivided attention as he wonders why the man was here. While it was not uncommon for either of them to talk to one another in privacy, with Niala being the subject of interest, this visit was weird due to the man’s shinobi attire and scroll he was holding. “Catch.”, That was the only warning Kensaku was given as the brownish scroll were toss to him, and on closer inspection being a mission scroll, “What is this?”, He asked. “By the orders of the Tsuchikage, you and Niala have a mission to help with the reinforcement of old mine shafts that lead into Sunagakure no Sato to make them safe for passage. You have exactly one hour to get to the location and start helping with the efforts.” Kensaku’s eyes widen slightly at the assignment given. Why was Iwagakure no Sato wanted to make a passage into Suna? For all he knew, nothing was remaining there . . . unless. “Get dress and come downstairs when you are done for breakfast. Do not worry about getting Niala; my shadow clone is telling her as we speak.”, Kensaku thoughts were cut off by his father’s words as the man left the room, leaving him to get ready.
Kensaku quickly straightens up his bed, before moving on to take a shower. Fifteen minutes later, he emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel. He did not have to worry being seen like this, both twins having their own bathrooms connected to their rooms. Shivering from the cool air in his room, Kensaku moved to get dress. Slipping on a long sleeve dark grey mesh shirt, that clung to his body like a second skin and covered it with a loose dark maroon shirt with the right sleeve being missing on purpose. After slipping on a pair of boxers, dark grey cargo pants, its many pockets being used to hold his scrolls and weapons, was slipped on followed by matching shinobi boots that reached past his ankle. These shoes being different due to the metal which aligns the toe area, and thicker material to prevent sharp objects, such as rocks, from puncturing them. Tying the headband around his head, after putting his hair into a low ponytail, Kensaku walked out of his room and headed downstairs.
The sounds of his mother humming a joyous tune greeted him, along with the delicious aroma of breakfast. “Good morning, Kensaku. Breakfast should be done soon.”, Hanae spoke without looking away from the food she was cooking. “Good morning mom.”, Kensaku replied, taking a seat at the table, waiting for breakfast and his sister. As he waited, he could not wonder what this mission would bring the two.
