Owydelu
D-rank
Part One: The Journey Begins
As Owydelu woke up, he knew this day would be special : This will be the day he will get his first S-Rank mission. This was very exciting for him. He got up from the bed very quick, not like he's normally doing. He got to the shower wishing to cool himself down. He was thinking if he will be prepared. Some months ago, Owydelu wasn't able to do some easy D-Rank missions and now he gets his first S-Rank mission. He was thinking about how quick that escaladated and he was right about it. Owydelu evolved very quickly and he had simultanously improved his Mokuton and Ninjutsu. He was proud of himself even if the others would say he is overconfident. That was his opinion.
He got out of the shower quickly, in order to have time for his daily breakfast. After all, it was day's most important meal. He got some chereal with milk and he had eaten them quickly. He couldn't waste the time he had anymore. He dressed himself up and then he had locked out the door. He couldn't let anyone get in his house.
He started to hurry to the Administration Building to claim his mission he was assigned for. As he got there he told the ones who were assigned to the missions giving. He recieved all the informations he needed and then he left the room, aiming to go outside.
After he got outside, Owydelu sat under a tree, opening the package of information he recieved. He read in his mind :
Recently, Kaze no Kuni has a problem with a Nuke ninja. Because the Kazekage has sent all the Jounin in other important missions and she can't take care of this at the moment, Sunagakure is requesting Konohagure's help in catching and/or Killing this ninja.
Owydelu turned the page, wishing to see the reward for this "impossible" mission. When he saw written there with black on white "1000 Ryo", he didn't even trough about it, he started getting to work. He knew that this was only some basic information he got from the Administration Building in Konohagure. What he had to do was to get to Sunagakure in the Kaze no Kuni first, to get all the needed information for the S-Ranked. In 5 minutes, Owydelu was all ready to go. He took a Backpack with him, in case of any emergency. He put there a medical kit, some Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches and some bottles of water. It wasn't any joke to make when coming to the desert. In his academy days, him family had put Owydelu to learn about all the type of landscapes. One of them was the desert. He was remembering now what is a desert as well.
"A desert is a landscape or region of land that is very dry because of low rainfall amounts, often has little coverage by plants, and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by water from outside areas. Deserts can also be described as areas where more water is lost by evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation. Desert plants must have special adaptations to survive with this little water." This was all he learned in his younger years. The lectures he read were some pieces of intelectuality that not eveyone could've understand very well. He was now fully prepared for the fight that was going to come by. The sky was smiling along with the sun to Owydelu. They were "trusting" him that he's going to do a good job for the sake of the village and for the sake of his nation.
Now he stepped out of the Village's Main gate. The wind changed as he got out from the "Safe Zone". The sun was sending powerful rays over Owydelu's head to protect him from any head attack. Suddenly, the sky was covered in black clouds that were about to explode. The rain that was going to pour from it will be a fresh one that could chill any ninja that's fired up. Despite Owydelu's predictions, the rain didn't occur. It was rather disapointing for him to see that he has mistaken in one thing. Forgetting about this, Owydelu started to take a faster route, travelling by jumping. The air was pushing Owydelu back with a powerful force. This was marking the fact that he had the speed needed for a jounin to travel. The branches underneath his feet were cracking a little, from the pressure and power Owydelu was using to push himself up and jump higher.
The trees were getting more rare to see with every step Owydelu was making. This was marking that the desert was about to come in force to him. The desert was also the location of the Kaze no Kuni, more exactly, the location of Sunagakure no Sato. The trees' leaves' color was more like a yellow to red one now. They were not the same green as in the presence of the village. Maybe the simple presence of the Kage, of the villagers or of the Senju Clan was making the trees to look so beautiful and gorgeous. It was said that every village determines the nature of the surroundings. The only presence of the Shukaku that was originaly captured by Sunagakure was making the surroundings an endless desert from where you can't escape too easly.
Owydelu was running from slower to faster, but, in some time, he was also taking a break. Even if this was an S-Ranked mission, he didn't wanted to push himself up to his final limits. The surroundings began to change. The desert was almost in his face. After 5 more minutes of running, Owydelu reached one of his goals. Now he was finally seeing the endless desert that was surrounding the Sunagakure. From now on, this wasn't a known place anymore and he had to pay attention to every detail to stay alive.
