The Bull's Bullseye
Once again Nakashima found himself looking at the mission board in search of his next exciting adventure, the only problem now is that the reality of these missions was starting to set in. Nakashima noticed he either had to do painfully boring missions that did not benefit him in anyway to become a high class ninja or he would have to take on more life threatening mission. Although at this level most of these life threatening mission were simply dealing with a wild animal, the thought of making a wrong step and dying scared him. But as this was the job role he had chosen for himself, he had to deal with this, Nakashima thought to himself that he would just have to become the strongest so that no one would be able to end his life, the hard part was getting to that level.

The mission that caught Nakashima Kaneko most was 'The Bull's Bullseye' from the description the mission was to remove a bull that had escaped from it herd and had be reportedly spotted on the outskirts of Iwagakure, having attacked and but not successfully killed the livestock or people for that matter. Although many people had sustain broken bones or other injuries. Many have already been sent to hospital. But it was only a matter of time before something bad were to happen such as the death of one of the residents. The residents area afraid that the monstrosity will continue its rain of terror unless someone stops it. The mission will be in the 'Wild West' of Iwagakure and must be dealt with as soon as possible. The bull can either be killed or captured just as long as it is stopped so no more damage can be done.

Nakashima set off for the village pondering his thoughts as he normally did, thinking about when he will become the strongest ninja alive. Nakashima also began to wonder to himself, when why so many animal went crazy in the wild west of Iwagakure, it seemed almost once a week another animal had gone wild in roughly the same area. Nakashima wondered to himself whether there was an underlying fact and was someone behind it, but Nakashima brushed it off as he was being paranoid and that maybe the people could not plainly just look after themselves and their livestock. Nakashima almost chuckled to himself. It took him a short period of time to travel to the 'Wild West' of Iwagakure, but he finally arrived and spoke to some of the towns people to find out about this massive snake that they had a problem with. He came across a villager sitting alone at a table. He walked over to the villager and asked what had been going on around here. The villager responded and told him about the raging bull.

'What seems to be going on around here?' Nakashima asked the man.

'Well right now we have a problem with a bull that has gotten loose from its herd and has been terrorizing the people of this village, we have had many unsuccessful attempts to stop the bull, anyone who seems to get close finds themselves getting injured, and it only makes the bull do more damage from a panic.' explained the person.

'ah I see, maybe I could lend a hand to your village, I know a little something about controlling a wild and reckless bull.' Nakashima said proudly.

'Really, that would be so amazing, we could stop living in fear if you could stop it, we can pay you very well, like around 180 ryo if you could achieve this goal of yours.' Thank you so much kind stranger.

'Just one question first, do you want it alive or can it be killed?' Nakashima questioned.

'Honestly the people of this village have given up on taking it without it being slaughtered but as they have been thrown around by it so much i think they have given up on it and just want it gone at any cause. I on the other hand only wish it to die as a very last resort, if you could please.' The man explained to Nakashima.

'Okay I will not promise you it will not die but I will try to do it without it being killed.' Nakashima said with a smile. 'Show me where this bull is please."

So Nakashima followed the man to a paddock just outside the village, and informed him that this is where the bull is when it isn't destroying the town. Nakashima told him to stay back as he did not want the man to become injured or worse. He walked over close to the bull and and noticed that the fence had been broken recently and then repair quite badly and that if he trapped the bull back in its pen it would need to be repair very soon after. The fence had signs of tampering and Nakashima came to the conclusion that someone had let it out.

Nakashima charged toward the bull as it charged toward him. He quickly stepped to the side at the last second allowing the bull to pass him, the bull turned for another charge and Nakashima did the same again, as the bull turned for the third time Nakashima had gauged the bulls speed and had devised a plan to take it down. The bull charged and Nakashim stepped to the side of the bull, only this time as he did he grabbed the bull by the horn and flung himself onto its back, this drove the bull crazy. It began to buck and kick trying to dislodge him. But Nakashima was not so weak as to be bucked immediatley and was able to stay on for a few more seconds before being throw to the ground. The bull charge towards him whilst he was on the ground but Nakashima was able to roll to the side narrowly escaping the bull. He quickly got to his feet and performed the misty flame Dance Jutsu just infront of the bull, this was then followed by a lightning rod Jutsu fired into the other jutsu engulfing the charging bull in flames. The bull had been stopped, Nakashima returned to the man sitting at the table and informed him of what he had been done, Nakashima took his money and left without another word.
