I had managed to further my skills within the wind release. I felt more invigorated by my feat; stronger, more in control, and rather ecstatic that I felt so invigorated. Usually with the amount of training I had just done in the past, it would have left me in a rather tired and sloth like state. Though now, now I felt the exact opposite. Perhaps all this training was paying off. I had increased my capabilities beyond that of what I had when I was within the academy.
On that front though, I was still a step away from being a full fledged shinobi. Especially a shinobi of a village. I was still lacking a master, a squad, to whom I could work with to further the village and myself. Though that wasn't stopping me, not in the least. I was still doing missions on a daily to weekly basis. Though...it wasn't anything amazing. The missions were rather basic and mundane. Though that wasn't to say, to myself, that they were pointless. They...would only take me so far. But when the time came, perhaps I would have something to show for my efforts! I wasn't going to be someone that was carried around. That was an important aspect to me, an important quality I wanted to have when I joined a squad.
I started to walk back towards the city, since I had succeeded in my training, and completed my mission, it was starting to get late, and time to initiate the last mission I was given for today. I was to investigate and detain, a boy that was disturbing the peace, and destroying property by spraying the sides of buildings.
The lights started to flicker on around the city as I exited the edge of the park, along the road that ran around it. I looked up into the sky, the sun was just starting to set, but I still had plenty of daylight left. Perhaps with the shadows from the buildings facing away from the sun, it did get darker in this area sooner. I walked towards the side of a building and started walking up the edge of it. It would give me a better vantage point from the top of one of these buildings to see the surrounding area.
I got to the top of the building, and peered over the raised ledge straight towards the inner section of this part section of the village. A thought floating back to when I was given the general information for this mission...
I was standing in front of the desk of one of the many secretaries the Kage had, watching as he shuffled papers around. "It is about time we give you a slightly more complicated mission Yaku. One, involving...the capturing of a person." He pulled the papers out and started to read from them. "A boy from the southern section of the village had been....." The crimes were listed and some vague general information was passed along to me.
Though what stuck out as important was, "It would seem this, BOY, is a student from the academy. He seems to be quite capable of evading the local police, jumping atop of buildings easily and moving quickly. Thus his capture was passed onto us, since this is a shinobi matter. Your job is to capture the boy, and bring him in to us. Though Yaku, be sure not to hurt the kid to much. He is to be punished by us, not you!" He smiled and then put the paper down. "Your skills should be quite useful in this matter. We expect a quick and peaceful solution from you.."
My skills...I had to think that he was speaking about my ability to control sand, after all, that was one of the few skills I had that did put me apart from others.
I looked upon the city below, watching the people pass as the sun slowly set out of site. The rest of the lights of the city slowly flickered on, and the streets emptying as they did. A few people were always out and about at this time, though very few comparably. I watched as a young couple meandered down the street, hugging each other closely. As they passed a side street, I saw a kid poke his head out and look around. 'This was my target'. A kid out alone at this time was rare, though I had to wait and watch. He ducked into another side street and I followed a top the building nearby. He stopped behind a restaurant and took something out from his pocket, shaking it. It was a bottle or can. I had him.
The building was a little higher up than I could control my sand so I walked down the edge slowly, softly, silently. I slowly drew my sand out of my gourd, moving it to the sides where the road exited, as he stood thinking about what to draw. I felt it than or rather noticed it than, I was able to control my sand quite efficiently out to my limits of 5 meters. The sand curled along the air towards the kid as he held the can out, and started to spray. I had hoped to get him before he started though, now was as good a time as any. I took steps down loudly and he jumped back, I spoke, "Hey kid, whatcha up to?". He looked around seeing my sand all around him swaying as I stepped onto the ground and he turned. He was startled, "What the hell?" I spoke as I drew my hands forward, "Trust me, just give up!" My sand started to cover the top of us than he looked up and jumped. He smashed into the sand churning above and fell just to the left of me. I looked down at him, "I have been sent here to bring you in." I turned my open hand that was sticking out and moved it towards him. More sand came from my gourd and crossed in front of me heading towards the kid on the ground. He dropped the can and spoke loudly, "OKAY!! YOU WIN!! I GIVE UP!!" The sand just stopped as it was about to touch him and I turned my hand down and it dropped to the ground. I smiled and joyfully said, "Good to hear."
The rest was rather plain. I helped the kid up and told him I needed to restrain him. He let me bind his hands together and sat on the ground as I reabsorbed my sand into my gourd. The boy watched slightly frightened and mystified by my skill with the sand. I helped him up and we headed to the kage's tower. I turned him in and as a favor to help him somewhat, I said he peacefully gave up when I spotted him. A slight lie perhaps but it was a good day for me. Seeing the boy give up quickly, and his somewhat interest in my abilities played to me. He was obviously interested in still being a shinobi for the village. Perhaps he would work passed his problems, I hoped.
