Kami was just washing up, it was early in the morning and he had to prepare for the trip to meet the escort. He kept thinking what kind of man he was going to meet. All he knew was he was going to be escorting a band of metal merchants to the grass village. It didn't matter what kind of mission it was, as long as he wasn't doing anything like walking dogs, it was good enough for Kami, he would take on an s-rank mission if he knew he'd survive it, he day-dreamed about his skills in the future.

He set out of his apartment and began to run out of the complex, he chose the roofs over the common streets, Kami like to know the situation and not be in it, even if it came to something as simple as walking around the village. He made it to the gates of konoha where he let the shinobi manning the station there that he was leaving for his mission, as they bid him farewell kami made a slight wave and bolted into the forest where he would have to go to the grass village boarder to meet his escort.

On the way, kami thought of many different things, this was his first mission outside of the village, and his first mission as a shinobi. He'd been outside the gates but he was on his own to go out into the world and find his own way from there. After passing the the treeline he finally made it to his destination, slowing from a walk to a moderately paced walk, approaching the escort team protecting the merchants.

Words exchanged and biddings of farewell, Kami left with the merchants, already bored out of his mind, it was bad enough that he was walking, but as slow as he was? Kami incessantly thought of why these merchants were so fat. He was no merchant but he thought they must have been spending every penny to get fatter than they already would. But the thing that annoyed Kami the most is that one of the merchants would now shut the hell up. Tanama Housuki, a middle aged man with a fear of losing his money, he should have been afraid of that gut, he thought to himself. But alas he found it no use to concern himself with these trivial meanings anymore, he just wanted to get this mission done with.

The sun was starting to set when Kami decided to set up camp so the merchants could rest, most of the merchants had been complaining about pain in their feet, Kami simply smiled at himself, he was secretly forcing fat people to lose weight. A fire was set up and the merchants circled around and traded stories about how they made big sales and other simple things like women they liked and wished to bed, men like this disgusted Kami. Instead of huddling around this place he wandered off a bit from the group, he was in eyesight of the fire, simply circling around the camp. He must have circled the camp at least 100 times when the merchants finally fell asleep.

He climbed into a tree and stared up into the sky. It was a full moon, clouds were starting to cover it and he began to close his eyes and hum a song. He hoped morning would come as soon as possible. His first day away from the village was a stressful one and he loathed the idea of ever having to leave it again, but he knew thoughts like these were just the hopes of doing it again, smiling to himself he dozed off into the night.

He awoke suddenly, dawn was nearing when he heard the snorting of boars. Startled, Kami jumped from the tree and made his way into the small encampment to see that the merchant, Tanama Housuki, was having his inventory ransacked by these boars. That's what happens when you travel with food and you don't take the efforts to protect it from the wild, it was bad enough the merchant awoke to the sight and began to freak out. Yelling and screaming he woke the others and they began to chuckle and laugh, Kami was having his laugh as well.

Soon after watching the fat man get his just desserts he finally approached the boar as he pulled out a kunai from his pouch, stabbing it down the back of the board and pulling with force that caused the bull to slide back a bit, the kunai sliced down the back, only gathering the attention of the now angered boar. Shuffling around, many of the goods were shattered, the flailing screams of Tanama Housuki annoyed Kami, but he was taking that frustration out on the boar.

They circled eachother before he lunged at the board, his foot sliding upwards to the nose of the boar, allowing Kami to jump into the air and land on top of the boar, sliding the kunai down to the eye he offered a slight prayer to it before he stabbed it in the eye, proceeding to the brain where it fell limp and kami fell off the side onto his feet.

The merchants were quite amazed with Kami, but their cockiness and pride didn't let it display enough for him to actually notice, if anything he wanted to give the merchants a piece of his mind. The sun was bright and Kami looked towards the pink and orange clouds. "Time to roll" he said to Tanama Housuki, who was trying to piece together a broken vase. He was reluctant to leave but eventually came to terms with the fact he wouldn't be able to replace his broken items.

Only a half a day left until they reached the gates, Kami was excited that it was almost finally over, they passed giant patches of tall green grass and the smell of the dew rolling off the blades lifted up his spirits, he loved nature and what it offered, he learned after reading one of his books to be at peace with the world around him, he found it hard to do, but moments like these were the easiest.

They finally arrived at the gates when Kami approached the escort team waiting for him, he told them of Tanama Housuki and his ransacked goods, a few chuckles exchanged and hands shook when Kami took his farewell. It was a good mission for him, and one that he did enjoy, Kami looked forward to many more days like these as he leisurely walked back down the road, enjoying the morning.
