The sun was just rising and there was a long day ahead. Alucard was already up finishing his sets of push ups for the morning. He had been assigned a escort mission. Nothing to big, but none the less still an escort mission. He didn't care about the danger, he doubted it anyway; before the village hands over escorts to Chunnin ninja they usually have the Jounin ninja go ahead and prepare the path. All the Chunnin ninja is to do is make sure the Valued Goods, Important People get to the destination safely. Nothing to worry about, anything can happen. If worst comes to worst he'll be prepared. Only reason he was up so early was because of the short notice that the mission was given to him; "being prepared was the first step to victory." his sensei always told him. Listening actually brought success to the person who listened fascinating indeed. Alucard already had his weapon pouch pre packed; owning 10 weapon pouches and all of them packed for different situations. Picking up two of them he equipped them to his shinobi attire. Pulling over a black long sleeve that cover his weapon pouches and stomach, he headed to put on his shoes so that that he could depart and meet up with this merchant. "Sighhhh."

Dashing on top of the roof tops Alucard could see the gates of His village. He couldn't help but notice how busy the village was at this time in the morning. "I guess the shops have to be open this early for us shinobi, as much we come and go." Alucard smiled then adverted his attention back onto the gates, that's where he was to meet the merchant. He slowed down just alittle bit in hopes of not having to deal with a snobbish, stubborn dick. Personally he would kill any merchant seeing as how most of them only care about there merchandise and making their money; who need people in the world like that. He arrived at the gates looking for person described. "I'm looking for a person named Tanama Housuki." Was yeld out in front of the gates. A Short, fat, balding guy in bright colors was about 45 feet away at a check in post waving his hands while jumping up and down wildly. "Ninja , Ninja ... Hey over here, I'm over here!."With the disappoint alucard palmed his face and his expectations where set alittle to low. He was here, he was assigned this mission and he had to deal with it. He was pretty sure all the great shinobi have been through it. Alucard approached Mr.Housuki. "Mr.Housuki I will escort you today, my name is Alucard Uchiha." He introduced himself with a fake smile. "Oh my an Uchiha, there's not many left this is a rare site. This might be enjoyable." The merchant responded.

"Indeed I am apart of the legendary Uchiha Clan, yet thats not the focus point we met on. I would like to get moving, Im aiming to get there before the set arrival time." Alucard responded calmly his head was always on for the most part. "Okay okay okay, whatever you say Alucard. Just know I'm watching you, so lets hurry up and begone." Tanama said snobbishly. Alucard started to walk the path he was briefed on. The mission was really easy, pick up and deliver. Not as much action this time but the pay is better and task at hand was too easy, looked like a walk in the park to Alucard but his guard was never let down he was always on the alert. Picking up all types of sounds, rustling bushes, cracking branches, animal sounds.

[WC:620/1000]

These sounds gave information to trained ears, the sounds can give locations, and numbers for the most part. Alucard also had a Raiton nature, he used his Raiton nature to further his senses. Hearing, smell, touch, sight and taste where all heightened when he charged his body with Raiton. This came in handy when going on missions that require long times of travel in Cells of two or three. Alucard continued walking down the path as they come towards a fork in the road, looking up towards the sky the sun was at its peak and on the way down to meet earth for the night time. Alucard was uncomfortable with the thought of being caught in the night with Mr. Housuki, he was a clear target with the bright colors he was wearing. "We need to pick up the pace so keep up old man." He said calmly then picked up the walking pace. "....... What did you say ? You arrogant slob ? I need more sales !." Tanama yelled coming in and out of reality, he didn't know what was going on. Tanama was in his head thinking about the pitch to sell his products , he trusted that Alucard would get him where he needed to go so he could focus what was important to him. They took the left path, which was the correct path to take.

[WC:848/1000]

Alucard look at Mr.Tanama from the corner of his eye as he could hear him mumbling to himself quietly minding his own business, to alucard Mr. Tanama looked nervous to him. They where getting closer and closer to the village gates. The silence was killing him it was already a dry escort mission anyways. Why couldn't he get some interesting with good conversation skills. Not some old guy whose obsessed with selling his product and collecting the revenue. Alucard didn't grasp the concept of greed. He couldn't understand it where did greed get shinobi besides death and power alongside loneliness. He would prefer family, friends and honor something that was worth dying for; the reasons why you could hold for a second longer in battle, endure the pain to fight to survive to see all those friendly faces again. Not all people think like himself, well only the greats. He looked ahead at the path that ran through a forest of trees.

Alucard reverted to his attention back to Tanama, while he formed two handsigns. "I'll be going ahead for alittle bit, I'm pretty sure where close by now. Just keep your pace now and you should be fine." He explained to the merchant. "Outrageous !. How are you going to leave me just like that! What about the wild animals ?!" The merchant yelled at the top of his lungs, he was worried and in a state of panic. Before he could finish his sentence a cloud of smoke appeared and Alucard was no where to be found.

Further up ahead dashing in between the branches of the trees Alucard was only looking for one thing, that one thing was a sign that he had reached the village gates. He came past two big trees and suddenly stopped. A big smile crossed his face, finally there was the Grass Country gates where in his sight. "Finally I'm here." He said with big sigh of relief. As he looked back he could see the merchant walking towards the gate. Within a second he was gone again.

Alucard appeared behind the merchant. The merchant hadn't noticed alucards presence. He was bored and thought a little scare would make that last part of this mission alittle bit enjoyable. Upon coming up at the gate alucard srceamed at the top of his lungs. Scaring the merchant causing him to sprint towards the gate. Following him through the trees he reached the gates before the merchant. "How dare you ! Leave me by myself you selfish animal ! Your mission was to protect me until we have reached the village." The merchant exclaimed. "We are in the village if you haven't noticed, nice meet you my job is done." Alucard responded. All that he was worried about now was collecting his pay.
