- Mission name: Scaredy-Cat
Mission rank: D [Repeatable]
Objective: Rescue the cat.
Location: Iwagakure
Reward: 60
Mission description: An old lady has a cat (I-ah I-ah Oh!). A dog from the neighborhood scared the cat on a particularity high tree, and the cat is afraid of jumping down. It's your mission to retrieve it. Watch out for the claws.
Mission details: Nothing special. You will find the tree, and must retrieve the cat by any means possible. Even throwing a rock at it, and then catch it when it falls down is acceptable. The cat mustn't get hurt. 600 words.
The night was still as stars scattered across the darkness in the sky, the moon barely visible as clouds shrouded at its corners causing a dim light to shine over the beautiful stone city of Iwagakure causing the village to look only the more peaceful in the current hour.
Drifting through the shadows Rue found herself on the prowl for her target positioned a few hundred metres away, traveling silently by rooftop being sure to be as stealthy as possible looking almost invisible as if she were a shadow herself. Rue used her surrounds do her advantage, slowly sliding down one of the rocky roofs to land gracefully and safely upon the ground below, the moons light causing her to become visible as if for the first time, her blonde hair glowing ever brighter and the moons reflection in her bright blue eyes. Rue approached her target and looked up in bewilderment, barely visible in the branches of large Sakura tree lay a kitten small enough to fit into Rue's hand, yelps of fear escaping the poor animals lips in small meows'. The Sakura tree sat situated within a small herbal garden surrounded by various other plans and small build ups of ponds scattered everywhere.
Placing her hand upon the base of the tree Rue spoke in a calm and soothing voice ''Don't worry sweetie I'll have you down in no time''. The kitten became still as if Rue's voice had soothed its nerves into silence. Rue took that as her time to move swiftly and began to ascended the tree using chakra walking. Rue focused on channeling chakra to the heels of her feet as she took each step up the tree long base. After seven steps Rue reached halfway to the top and was nearing the closest branch ''I'm almost there kitty just a little further'' she spoke soothingly once more.
Before she knew it Rue felt her concentration dim as the sounds of loud barking echoed below her, with swift thinking Rue perched herself forward grabbing hold of the branch just above her head, her hands successfully wrapping themselves around it. With a quick swing Rue swung around the branch landing upon her feet upon the branch. After a few moments of thought Rue decided to conserve chakra for the way down and would climb the rest of the way up. One..two...three branches later and Rue was directly next to the small kitten reaching her hands out to cry the tiny creature, in one swoop the kitten nested himself comfortably within her chest and arms. ''Now comes the easy part my friend'' she said with a large amount of sarcasm in her voice.
In a quick motion after positioning herself Rue sprinted down the tree trying to remain steady with each contact of her foot to tree, nearing the bottom Rue realised stopping would be harder then she had thought, clutching tighter to the kitten Rue prepared herself for the worst landing.
As she reached the trunk of the tree Rue shut her eyes tightly as she prepared herself for what was to come, but what was coming would be a surprise to even her.....
