Location: Forest of Death | Mission Name: What Goes Bump In The Night | Nanjirou Soku and Nikku Haniki | Unit: Journeyman |
Misson Prompt as delivered to Sennin Nanjirou Soku: As part of the Academy's ongoing Career Day initiative, Nikku Haniki has been assigned to shadow you to give them an understanding of the field of interest they have expressed an desire in joining, your task is to guide them and make them familiar with the duties and obligations of the unit. Please take caution in doing so as shinobi units have recieved intelliegnce of an abnormal creature operating in the area guarding a essential medical herb that is badly needed to help treat some of the surivors of the recent gate attack and should you encounter any problems, remember your duty is to the village and the student placed under your care.
Career Day was in full swing and everyone was off to to their respective assignment and locations. Some more eagerly than others, various senior Academy teachers escorted genin and students alike to their prospective senior shinobi who would have already read the prompt delivered to them and had been hand-delivered the file of the person to be shadowing them. The task was simple yet even on a crowded day like this, things were bound to go wrong.
The unit office housed just on the border of the Forest was a simple sight, most would pass it off as a simple farmer's house but in reality, it housed the various members of the misson group tasked with securing a rare medical herb but they had met resistance although no one would comprehend what had been killing their shinobi and the group's spirits were not lifted by having to take on an additonal burden in the form of a student.
"Lady Fifth must be losing her marbles, really, him?"
"As if that wasn't enough, now we have to babysit." Another grumbled shaking his head at the sheer fact. No one liked a new face, you didn't know their intentions, what they wree cpable of and unless that was figured out, all of them would recieve the same dismissive treatment. There were no favorites in joining one of the village's specialized units and the younger ones would do well to remember that.
Heads turned at the sound of footsteps coming, a senior shinobi leading the prospective academy student or genin. "Come on then." He would snap at the kid gruffly as if the man had more important things to do than escorting these rookies when they could have found their ways themselves as he knocked politely on the wooden door to the office that housed the unit members and the supervising officer before entering.
In this case though, it was the branch Sennin.
"Soku-san, here is the candidate that the Academy sent and one other thing, we've recieved intelligence reports that some sort of weird creation has been hoarding the herbs the medical branch needs badly so we've been asked to keep a more vigilant eye when we set out but that'll be all." With that, the assistant gave a nod and a curt look towards the prospective candidate before slipping out.
OOC Mission Outline for Reference: The senior shinobi recieves word that the Byoin is requesting an essential medical herb for an overnight surgery for some of the survivors of the gate attack and it can not be delayed any longer, it must be done before the sun rises. Having spent a tiresome day at the office with the candidate who seems overall bored by the paperwork, the senior shinobi decides this is a good chance to show them the lively part of being a Journeyman taking the candidate with them into the Forest of Death to scout for the plant. Unaware to them, they are being stalked by a kaiju, a monster-like creature who does not appreciate them intruding on it's habitat. As soon as they collect the plant, the kaiju attacks leaving the senior shinobi seriously injured requiring the candidate to act to save them while the senior shinobi instructs them on what to do having recgonized the creature from their experience as a Journeyman and knowing what it's flaws are.
