The morning sun slowly peaked from behind the horizon, it's counterpart having woken it from it's night slumber – to do the duties that were granted to it by the deities – warm up the earth with it's rays. Begrudgingly the sun awaken from it's sleep, climbing the stairs that led up to Earth's horizon in order to fulfill such a duty. And this is where we find the heat given source, standing on the edge of the horizon, it's arms already stretched out – rays of heat resonating from them – heating the earth like a giant hotplate.
Of course the warmth from the shaft of lights caused the inhabitants of the world to stir from their slumber. If the sun couldn't sleep, they couldn't either! Yes, that's were the thoughts sun, it grinning wickedly at the sight of the first person stirring from their sleep. It was assuming to say the least, how some were using such a vulgar language that a sailor would be blushing from hearing it. Others tried valiantly to fight the urge of waking up, but one couldn't win against the sun. For it's an opponent that couldn't be contended with.
However! Not all were fighting against the sun's arms. No, a few were already up and moving about, going about their normal routines. The majority of these individuals were shinobis who knew very little about rest or even sleep for that matter. They having to the 'glorified' job of keeping their respective villages safe from threats both foreign and domestic. They also had the indirect job of getting and keeping clients happy, fulfilling tasks for them. Yes, besides being a killer, shinobis were also businessman in a twisted since. This was no where more prominent than in the village hidden in the rocks. Darken shadows bouncing to and from unknown destination, some even having the luxury of resting – enjoying the small reprieve from the daily grind.
And it's one of these shinobis that we founded ourselves following today. Known throughout the Elemental Nations as a former geisha, Guanyin Nanashi were just now leaving the confinements of his home. The silver haired male having woken up before the sun's rays could interfere with his sleep, a single yellow eye look out of the window adjecent from the bed – thoughts plague with trivial things. Well at least for the most part. Today would would be his first day back on active duty since the incident that had eight months ago. The head doctor at the hospital had cleared him physical fit to return to the active list. Of course this was after he was subjected to numerous of test – making him feel like a lab rat with all the poking and prodding they did. While it was an inconvenience, he understood the reasoning for such perfectly.
The man stood before the window a few more minutes, before turning and heading towards his bathroom to get ready for the day.
Roughly twenty minutes passed before Nanashi appeared outside of his house, locking it up before heading towards the mission hall. Yes, on his first day on active duty the man planned on doing a mission. And unlike what some might suspect, he wasn't going to do a D or C rank mission. . .oh no he had something else in mind. Thankfully those who were out about, going about there day didn't give the man a second glance either to occupied with other things or just really didn't care. Not like they haven't seen the one eyed man before. Seemingly lost in thought, Nanashi founded himself within the mission hall, waiting in the small line of other shinobis looking to get a mission.
“Any particular, you want?” The balded head male chuunin asked, having the 'fun' job of manning the mission desk.
“Yeah, Defend the Fortress.” The chuunin didn't even raise an eyebrow at the special jounin's request, shuffling through the basket of B-rank missions to find the one that Nanashi asked before.
“Thanks. . .” Nanashi said catching the scroll and turning away, heading outside to sit on the bench outside of the mission hall – waiting for his student. Nanashi had told Alessi yesterday that they would be doing a mission together, she having been there when they tested him thus knew that he was back on the active list, so she knew to meet him at the mission hall this morning. . .
