The Errand from Father[Solo]

Posts : 178

It was morning time, but the weather for today was kind off. It was warm outside, but when one looked at the sky, they would see that the sun was being blocked by the vast amount of clouds that were sharing the sky with the sun’s rays. That only caused for a lot of wind to come across the people of the village and possibly the whole fire country. It was a nice feeling though because nobody would be exhausted and dehydrated from the strong rays that the sun produced. In the home of a certain Senju’s house you could see that the people in the house were up and taking care of business.

Yuurei was one of those people, and the young Genin was preparing his day as he was on another assignment from his father. That meant he was going to do this on his own, and he was going to have to go out of the village. He had a little bit experience of the outside world, but he knew that he would never stop and do something foolish like last time. He wasn’t sure how that was going to end, but he was glad that his life didn’t end there.

It was easy to get dressed and the young boy had showered already. The breakfast that he had consumed was great, and he could only hope that it didn’t affect him on his trip. The Senju of course needed to go to his father. He received the information he needed, but he didn’t get product that he was going to deliver. The Genin had moved over to his mirror as he looked in it to see how his clothes were. He patted himself as everything was in place. He had noticed something was missing though, which made him turn his head towards the desk in his room.

There was a smile that was revealed in his face as he was delighted that his necklace was there. Yuurei walked over to it and grabbed a hold of it. He needed to keep this around him, or his father would rip him a new one. He was quick to put it around his neck as he grabbed of his pony tail, so it could get out of the hold the string had on it. He was ready to start his day, but before that, he had stretched his arms into the air for a quick yawn.

It didn’t take that long of course, and the Genin quickly placed his hands to his sides as he turned to his door and made his way to it. Yuurei came to a stop as he was looking back to make sure that he didn’t leave anything in it. He nodded reassuring himself that he was ready to meet up with his father. The young boy opened the door only to start running through the hallway, so he could reach his father quickly. How he ran showed that he didn’t want to keep his father waiting any longer.

He had soon made it to his father’s room as he didn’t have to open the door. It was already open, with a man sitting behind a desk, with long brown hair. He only smiled at Yuurei as he walked into the room looking down. He wasn’t looking down because he had to, but he didn’t want to trip over anything and make a fool of himself in front of his father. He made it to the front of his father’s desk, and could only hold out his hands waiting to get the package.

”Yuurei I need you to go to a Coffee shop and deliver this. The Coffee shop is called “Black Tea,” and it is the only one of its kind. When they see this, they will take you to the back and you will meet with the owner of the shop. From there he will give you the money that is needed to buy the product. If things do not go as plan you make sure you come back home with the product as well. Do you understand,” he looked at his son as he waited for a response from him.

Yuurei nodded at the end of his speech as he knew what he needed to do. ”Yes I understand father. I will be on my now,” he responded to his father as he turned his back on him, and rushed out of the room. The Senju was running through the house as fast as he could; he was quick to jump onto one of roof tops of the house as he was close to the village exit. It didn’t take long for him to arrive there, and when he did he was greeted by two guards that waved at him as he was leaving the village. He made sure to wave back as he was going on a family mission.

Yuurei was now at the front of the gates of the village. He looked around to see if there was anybody who was out of the ordinary. He knew that the village guards would never allow someone who looked suspicious close to the village, but he had to make sure for himself. He didn’t want to take the trip on his own, and then be the one to get ambushed. There was nobody that he could spot right here, so he figured he was safe. He knew where he had to go, but first he would enter the forest nearby to reach his destination.

The Genin rushed towards a nearby tree, which wasn’t big for a jump that he was capable of. He pushed his feet of the ground as he had made sure to get close to the tree. He jumped off the ground and onto the tree’s branch without a problem. He looked back at his village and smiled. He was happy to be a part of this place. He turned his head as he needed to be focused now. The ninja jumped off the branch he was on and continued to do so as he was moving through the forest.

He was trying to make it Roiyaru Road, which would be the place where he could walk on to arrive at Black Tea. While he was moving through the forest, he could feel the breeze that the weather today was bringing to him. It felt good, but he didn’t allow that to lose his focus. He was looking around to make sure he wasn’t being followed, if he had been spotted in the forest. He couldn’t hear the sounds of feet colliding with branches, or with the ground below him. This allowed him to feel that he was safe from danger.

It took the Genin several minutes to travel through the forest, and now he was arriving at the corner part of the forest. The young man could see that he was running out of trees to jump to, which was a good thing. It allowed him to know that he was right by Roiyaru Road. He had hit the last branch and looked back with a smile on his face. He was happy to have made it this far without a problem occurring this time. He jumped off the last tree and landed on the road.

He rolled on the ground as soon as his feet touched it, so he wouldn’t feel the impact of his landing. Yuurei had gotten back on his feet as there were no traps waiting for him. He was being paranoid, but he was doing something for his father. He had to make sure nothing went wrong on this delivering. The Senju started to walk on the road now as there shouldn’t be a trap that he couldn’t see. He looked around at his surroundings as he could see a lot of shops and buildings that he was walking by.

When he looked at them he didn’t see any of them going by the name of Black Tea. It didn’t matter because he knew that he had to continue moving. The young boy did noticed one thing and it was that there were a lot of people at these shops. It only meant that business was booming throughout this road, which was good for the small business owners. He kept walking as he figured that none of these people were waiting for someone like him to walk by. Still, that didn’t mean he didn’t keep his guard up because he knew to expect the unexpected.

The young boy was on his guard, but that didn’t allow certain people to spy on him. There were the three ninjas from before as they had appeared by a nearby ramen shop. They were just hidden behind the shop as they were looking at him from afar. These men just watched him as they were interested in him since that day. He didn’t know about this, so he was oblivious that he was being watched. ”So there he is; he is alone, why don’t we capture him and start with the plan now?” one of the three whispered.

”Stop asking questions you know the answers to. We need him to grow stronger on his own with a pure heart. If we take him now and train him, his heart will be filled with darkness,” one said seriously. ”We can at least test him out to see how strong he actually is. We know he is different, but should we test him to see how different?” he brought up as a suggestion. ”You are right; we will do that soon, but let’s find someone who we could use to test the kid,” the serious one said as all three of them disappeared again.

There was a lot of walking through the road, and at one point he had looked back because he had the idea that somebody was following him. There was nobody behind him, so he sighed because he was relieved of that. Still, now that he had to look back, he was a bit worried that once he turned he was going to be met with an enemy. He slowly turned his head back as he was worried, but when it came to, he there was nobody in front of him. He could only be relieved again as he just didn't like to travel on his own.

The Senju kept walking as he noticed a small shop that was painted all black coming to his view. He was surprised that out of all the colorful buildings he had passed by this one would be painted in all black. He figured this was the place his father was talking about, but he had a bad feeling about this place. It was just all black, and it felt like the building itself had a dark aura surrounding it. He stopped walking right there as he was looking at it from really far. He couldn't see the name of the shop, so he needed to get closer to get a better view.

He only sighed because he couldn't believe his dad would send him to do something like this. He just shook his head as he was starting to doubt his father, which he knew he shouldn't, his father trusted him with this assignment, so he must have known that he could have handled himself. Yuurei started marching his way towards the shop, hoping that this was the place because honestly he didn't want to walk any further than he was. It would only mean that it would take longer for him to get back to the village and into his house.

He could see that there were fewer and fewer people every time he moved forward. He could tell from just this that the people, who walked around buying things on the road, chose never to shop around here. That only meant that this place could be the black-market, but why would his father have been doing business here? He shook his head as he figured that his father had a good explanation, so he was not going to question it.

Yuurei walk had soon come to an end as he made it to the building, and saw two people who were guarding the door, of the black building. He looked up as he was able to read the name of the shop now. This was definitely his destination. It had said “Black Tea,” on it, so he figured this was the place his father wanted him to go to. He turned to face the two of them as they weren't looking at him. They stood their ground and he wondered if they were actually real. ”This is the place, but I hope I don't get into trouble,” he thought to himself.

The Genin had cracked his neck as he figured he would have to prepare for the worst. The two men that were standing there weren't moving, but that could easily be a trap. He just walked over to the front door, but soon something happened. The two men that were standing there had quickly moved to their side as they both met with each other and were now blocking the door in front of Yuurei. The young boy jumped back as he wasn't sure what they were going to do. When he stepped away from the door, the two men stepped back to their original position waiting for something to happen.

He was a bit confused on what had just happened. He figured he was about to have a fight on his hands, but that wasn’t the case. Those guys didn’t attack him, which allowed him to stand up straight and walked over to the door again. The two of them had done the same thing as before, but this time the young ninja stood there. They both looked at him with a serious look on their face. ”What is your business here?” they both asked him as they stood there looking down at Yuurei waiting for an answer.

The Genin didn’t say anything as he was remembering what his father had told him to do. He took the item out of his bag and with that he showed them the mysterious item. They both stared at it and then they looked at each other. He noticed that they both smiled each other and without a second to waste they stepped back to their original position. He thought they were going to escort him inside, but they didn’t. The door just opened and it was waiting for him to enter.

Yuurei didn’t take long to think about walking in this place. He knew he had nothing to fear, if his father sent him on this mission. The young boy was met with another pair of men; these guys looked like the ones in front of the building. ”We are here to escort you to the boss. We know you have what we asked for since you were able to enter without a problem,” they both said at the same time and started to walk over to the other side of the floor. He just looked at the two of them and figured that it wouldn’t hurt to follow these two.

The young ninja was on his guard, but he didn’t need to. They weren’t going to do anything to him; still, he needed to make sure that his life was lost because he was being too careless. The three had made their way to a door that was at the end of the hall that they were walking in. The two had stopped and moved away from each other quickly. The turned to placed their back on the wall and waited for the Senju to enter and meet up with their boss. They became quiet as they waited for him to enter the premises.

He sighed as he was getting tired of this, but figured there was nothing he could do about it. He moved towards the door and pushed it slowly. He didn’t put much effort into it and he noticed that there was somebody sitting down on the chair behind his desk. The man looked to be older than his father; he had short gray hair, glasses on his face, wearing a suit, and with all of this he looked like he meant serious business. The Genin didn’t expect to try to pull a stunt with this man as he figured his life would have ended here, if he did that.

”Hello there sir,” he paused for a bit as the man just stared at him. That made him a bit nervous, but he just shook it off. He brought out the package his father had sent him with, for he knew, this was what he was waiting for. ”My father sent me to hand you this package for the money he demanded from you,” he looked at him with a serious face this time. It was something his father would have wanted from him, so he made sure he didn’t show any weakness. The elderly man stood quiet as he kept looking at Yuurei before he let out a smile.

”I’m surprised to see how much you have grown Yuurei. You don’t remember me, but your father brought you here when you were little. You do look like your father; I’m happy he allowed you bring this to me,” he opened a drawer from his desk and started shuffling within it until he had come to a stop. The young ninja was confused about what had just happened, but this man knew him. He kept looking at him as he saw him taking out money and placing it on the desk and sliding it towards him.

Yuurei moved forward as he placed the package on the man’s desk as well. He pushed it forward to the man, and the walked over to the other money and placed it in is bag. ”I don’t remember me coming here ever. This is actually the first time I think I’ve ever been here. Who are you?” he asked wondering what he was going to say to him. The man smiled when he heard this because he knew he wouldn’t remember. ”Of course you don’t remember me; you were just a baby when he brought you here. Still, me and your father are good old friends, but he tries to stay away from my side of the business,” the man paused for a second.

”It’s why we don’t spent much time together anymore, which is understandable, but I like doing business with your father. He is trust worthy, and I know he will never betray me. That is why I will always have his back as well. You are free to go, but it’s good that you remember my name Yuurei. Its Daimon,” he nodded as he leaned back on his chair as he was waiting for the young man to leave. For some reason he could only feel nervous around this man as if he could dispose of him at any time.

Yuurei walked out of the room and he was quick to sigh. The tension from that room was gone, and he was relieved. He just looked at the other two as they stood in the same spot again. He shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the two, and walked himself out. It didn’t take long for him to leave this place, and when he did he could only stretch and yawn. It was over and all this unnecessary tension was done with. He was home free, which was good because he could relax for the rest of the day.

The young boy was retracing his steps now. He was on the road again and honestly he figured that the situation would be worse. He was happy that nothing bad had happened on his trip to the Black Tea shop. The side of roads had gotten lively again, which meant that he was out of the black-market area. That was good because he felt some type of tension in that place. The three shadows appeared again, but they had a fourth person with them. This person wasn’t part of the shadows as he looked young, but inexperienced.

The young man didn’t have a headband, but he had weapons surrounding him. The three shadows had brought a mercenary that they had captured with them. The young guy had a dark aura around him as if he was brainwashed. ”Let’s see what this kid could do against this guy. If he can’t handle himself here, then there is no point in capturing him later on,” the serious shadow said. ”Go…Go, go, go, go, and kill the boy,” one of the shadows said excited to see a fight to break out right now.

The mercenary took a simple walk over to Yuurei; the movement of the strange man didn’t take long to change as he started rushing towards the Genin. The Senju kept marching through the road with a smile on his face, but his smiled had disappeared quickly. He could hear someone running towards him right now. That wasn’t good because somebody was after him, but who could it have been? He turned around to see someone coming to him and tossed what looked like a tomahawk. He had jumped to his right to avoid the attack as he was surprised by the sudden attack.

Yuurei landed on the ground as he noticed that he was cut on his chest, but the wound wasn’t deep. He sighed because it allowed him to be relieved from the level of injury. He shook his head as he looked at the mysterious man. He rushed over to the weapon he had thrown, and was quick to continue his sprint over to him. He looked around as the people on the side of the road started to worry. He needed to get some place where he could fight this guy without hurting anybody. The mercenary had taken out another weapon and this time it was a nodachi.

The Senju had taken out a Kunai and quickly defended himself from the attack. The two weapons clashed and he could feel the level of power of this guy. He was good with these weapons, but he couldn’t fight him seriously just yet. He had thrust his leg and kicked the mercenary on his torso, which connected and pushed the man away from him. He had turned around as he started running away from him. The mercenary grabbed his stomach and noticed that his target was running away now. He started chasing after him as they were playing a game of cat and mouse now.

The three shadows looked at each other and they disappeared again. Yuurei had rushed into the forest that he had come from. He was running through the forest as he looked back and noticed that he was being chased still. The Genin started running in zigzags because he remembered what this guy used. The Senju had perfect timing to start doing this as the man started throwing knives at him. He made sure that he didn’t keep doing the same thing, so his movements couldn’t be read. He knew where he needed to go, if he wanted to take this man on without a problem.

The ninja was running away from him, but noticed that this man was taking this a bit too far with throwing all of these things at him. Yuurei figured he would have to try and slow him down at least, or he was going to get injured before he could fight this stranger. He had thrown all of his Makibishi on the ground while he was running right now. The mercenary had quickly coming to a stop, but he didn’t stop there. He looked at Yuurei, and jumped up to the trees; the man was jumping from branches to branches now as he was going to allow the young man to escape.

Yuurei saw where he was at, and looked ahead of him as he noticed that he had made it to the place where he wanted to go. The forest that he was in was ending, but he was soon going to place himself in the worse forest to enter in the world. The Genin just knew he had to do this because he wasn’t sure how many people were with this man. He had run all the way towards the entrance of the Forest of Death.
