Zenichi had no idea why he was asked to go remove a menace to the Starlit lake. It seemed like a mission fit for a Chuunin, maybe even a Genin. It definitely seemed like a job for a Suna-nin. Zenichi wasn't of this town and any interaction he had with it was limited. That is why it caught him off guard when Sousuke sent him a hand written request to take care of the problem. And while he phrased it as a "Favor", the mention of payment for services rendered and a reminder that some repayment was owned for the small fire Zenichi created at the Maw spelled out that he didn't have much choice but to accept this mission.
So he took a slow stroll after lunch towards the lake. He figured it would be fairly easy. The bite in the wind had simmered down since the morning's first light. Zenichi didn't really have a plan but knew that the odds were in his favor. He was a ninja, the other was a silly fish that thought on a primal level. How could he lose?
As he reached the pier, he noticed a lot of bait hooks strewn around. Seemed like a hazard to have them where young ones can get entangled. He picked up a lone pebble and cast it a top the water's surface. Ripples leap-frogged as the stone skipped. Zenichi had a sudden urge to grab some bait and tackle and see if he would be lucky today. He had never fished so he doubted his chances, but was curious all the same. Unfortunately, he was without the traditional tools but he wasn't helpless. A bit of improve and he could make his own luck. Zenichi reached into his pouch and grabbed a bit of clay. Soon, the mouths within his hand chomped the pieces and spit out dozens of piranha shaped bits. He threw them into the water to begin their search and destroy mission. Within a few minutes, a loud boom was created in tandem with a large water burst. A rainbow spotted the sky as an ugly fish head landed at his feet. The fish had a seriously hideous under bite.
