- Mission:
Mission name: Mutant Attacks
Mission rank: B-Rank
Objective: Destroy mutant animals
Location: Iwagakure
Reward: 500 ryo
Mission description: Various reports have landed on the Tsuchikage's desk about groups of deformed animals coming through towns of Tsuchi no Kuni, raiding, killing/picking off various humans – gorging on them before leaving. It has been estimated that over 100 people have died from these attacks, with the body counts still rising. The kage has order their shinobi to investigate and put these things down for good.
Mission details: The shinobi will run into a group of 5 – 10 mutants. These animals are extremely aggressive, organized, and intelligent. They don't have no squall with using one of their own as decoys or doing suicide attacks allowing for another to take advantage – in short they are selfless. They are easily identifiable, with a chakra signature that is roughly genin level along with being simply vile. If that's not enough their eyes are pupilless and dilated. All of them specialize in Taijutsu(B-rank) with Speed or Strength mixed in(up to the recipient).
Maikumaru spent spent more of his time on the mountains not too far outside the village. He had woken up at the break of daylight to go to the Fissure Training Grounds. It was a lonely place at the time. He was there to do something he had found great interest in doing, which was creating Jutsu. He brought many books with him. Going to the library had become a pastime for him as well. After doing some physical training exercises, and making sure his Taijutsu style was up to par by shadow boxing, he had taken a rest to reflect on how much he had grown in such a short time. From becoming the immature boy who was a failed mercenary with a dead mentor to becoming a leader at the battles of Suna Against Bandits. And now here he was. A man with a sharp mind, and one that was getting sharper. He picked up the book. It was a large book of the art of using Doton, Maikumaru’s favorite basic element. He stood up and looked at his hands, his mind wandering. He needed to figure out a style of Ninjutsu. Not necessarily limiting himself to one form of fighting, but an effective way of fighting that suited him. He wanted to delve further in Earth Release. And create something truly magnificent. He knew he was going to have to face opponents stronger than him. And that was a bit of an issue that could not stand.
Pacing around he continued to examine the books. He had a lightning release book as well. He looked through it, seeing that there were a lot of abilities lightning can do. If he tried hard enough, he could force Raiton to beam down from the sky and smite his enemies. It was an interesting technique indeed, considering if he tried it he would have to find someway for the enemy to become locked in place. But that wasn’t his forte. He was more interested in something else. He wanted to preserve his chakra. Maikumaru had decided to work on a technique. It was vibrating his body using his chakra, which would vibrate the earth. A not so simple taijutsu technique that would cause an Earthquake. He had practiced it before, but he was having trouble of finding the right magnitude to vibrate and create and earthquake. He had decided to throw caution to the wind and use a lot more chakra this time. At this power it would become a B rank technique. He realized how close he was to accomplishing the effect with less chakra, but it was only a small shake. He started to surge his chakra throughout his body. It started to shake, having him feel his body move and vibrate. It was a very uncomfortable feeling, but he was going to have to get used to it. He looked around him and saw the ground had started to shake, just as he did. Rocks were moving all about, and even boulders were shifting in place. He decided to amp it up slightly more, pushing harder. Things were really starting to look good, as the small rocks had begun to bounce up and down on the ground, and the boulders had moved more pronouncedly. When he realized how tired he started to become, he stopped, and doubled over. Catching his breath, he pumped he clenched his fist in triumph. He had succeeded.
He sat on his butt, and yawned. Maikumaru needed more jutsu however, such as Guardian Chakra Mode. He could use Earth Release, and even Lightning Release to manipulate the battlefield to his advantage, and use Jutsu like his father had showed him. Jutsu that made him stronger. He needed jutsu that worked against his opponents advantage, and to his own. He needed jutsu that made his opponent weaker, and the area around them a hazard for only them while at the same time using jutsu to make himself stronger. With this form of fighting he could even make the strongest of opponents become oppressed by his own abilities. Thanks to the Mysterious man he had met in Konohagakure, Maikumaru had learned interesting ways to use Medical to aid him in this. But instead of rotting his ability for damage he could rot their effectiveness in combat. And this can easily be combined with environmental effects that make it harder for his opponent to combat him. He smirked to himself. He was excited to have found this way of fighting rather than throwing whatever jutsu he knew at his opponents.
“Excuse me.” Maikumaru turned around to find a man standing behind him. “Otsuka , Maikumaru is it?”
“Yes?”
“You have a mission. It’s very important.”
“Get to the point.”
“Well...they are mutants. Mutant Animals. No one knows where they came from. They have been going from village to village, around the Valley of Mountains, killing villagers and leaving them with not much left.”
“Eating them?”
“Yes. You and a group of Genin-”
“Let me stop you right there. A group of Genin? What purpose is this for? I am going on a dangerous mission, I don’t have time to-” Maikumaru broke his train of thought. If Genin go on dangerous missions like this, they would no doubt gain experience from this. Far more than the average Shinobi. “You know what. On second thought, it’s a great idea.”
“Well then you know the drill. Meet them at the village gate.” Maikumaru watched him body flicker away. Maikumaru picked up his books and placed them in his bag. He ran towards the village gate.
Upon arriving he found that he was the first one there. He simply shrugged, and took out one of his books, and continued to read, awaiting the young faces for this mission.
