Lurking in the shadows, lies a criminal sitting on the ground resting against a tree. It was a long day and Rukasu was not too much off of the main road. He was still awake, as being alert at all times was one of those things he had to do while being a criminal. However everyone does need to rest their bodies. The sinister con liked to relax on bright sunny days while he calmly sticks to himself under the shade.

It was clear to him that the Fire country was very much different than the Water country. This was very clear to him the difference and this difference was the nature in itself. The Water country was cold, damp, evil, and wet. On the other hand, in the Fire country, well just in Rukasu's experience alone was just so relaxing. Its hot, calm, free, and welcoming. Even thought Rukasu being the criminal that he is welcomed by Konoha'a strongest. The criminal knew that others would not be so pleased about him walking around in the Fire country. However, the rebel kept to himself  most of the time and kept himself out of trouble. He did not start the trouble either, it was only when they spotted him and wanted to start it with the sinister criminal.

Well this day has been just like any other day as the ex-Shinobi was clearly relaxing until he had heard two people walking and they were having a conversation. One had black hair and the other had brown hair.

"Yeah so you heard, the big boss is paying anyone a lot of money who could bring this old man to pay his debt." The guy with the black hair said to the guy with the brown hair. The brown hair guy nodded and once Rukasu had heard this information, as his evil grin shown printing through the bandages. He clearly needed the money and this was a paid mission so he had to find out more. Getting up slowly, as the two were still walking. Rukasu appeared in front of the two as they both stopped.

"Who are you!" The brown hair guy asked, and Rukasu knew that it will be crazy to kill them both without asking them questions but he did want to have some fun. It had been a  while and this was the perfect time to make good use of that time.

"I want information about this Big boss? Where is he? I would like to know and if you answer me, you won't die." Rukasu said in a sinister voice and he knew this wouldn't end well.

"Forget It! We are not going to tell you nothing!" The brown haired guy yelled out as he got into his fighting stance, but it was too late since Rukasu was now behind the Brown haired guy and once the guy noticed it was too late. A bright red line on his body start spitting out blood from his body. Falling to the floor the black haired guy was shocked, and scared.

"Please don't Kill me! I beg of you!" The guy with the black hair pleaded as Rukasu glanced over to him with this evil stare that shocked the guy to the point where he started to tremble a lot. "Okay I will tell just don't kill me. The big boss lives down the road, and he is guarded by many." The guy said as he kept on trembling. Rukasu chuckled as he turned around and walked down the road. The black haired guy had a smile on his face as he had taken out a kunai and charged at Rukasu, and once the guy was close enough the criminal turned around slicing the guy in half in a quick slash with his giant sword. The guy the stood there paralyzed, as Rukasu turned back around and kept on walking. The guy saw blood shooting from his body as he fell to the floor.

The sinister rebel kept on walk with an evil grin on his face. Rukasu headed to where the Big boss was located.

After a couple dozen minutes of walking he reached the place, as he looked at this big building he probably wouldn't have noticed before if someone hadn't said anything about it. There were two guards there in front of the door, holding their swords as they watched the criminal walk up to them.

"State your business!" The guard said in a loud stern voice.

"I'm here to see the big boss about the job." Rukasu said as he the guard nodded and let Rukasu in the building. Once he got into the building he was escorted to the big boss. After walking down the hall there was this giant door, and once it was opened, he saw this guy sitting down in a chair in the middle of the room.

"So you are here about the job, well I am the Big Boss of this organization. I want you to find this old gentleman. He lives down the road a few miles, wearing old clothes. He is always with two people and they always protected this old man. They are not strong at all but there are more like his body guards. This old guy owes me money and I am getting sick of waiting. I don't want to be disrespected anymore. So Go find him and get the money by any means necessary and to make it final I want you to finish the job and bring back something of his to show you completed the job. Now GO! and Don't make me wait too long, because if you do, I will be after you as well for wasting my time. If you do a great job, I will hire you for more jobs in the future." The big boss said as he turned around in his chair.

Rukasu turned around and walked out of the building, now he had his first job in the Fire country and he was going to finish the mission quickly and perfectly. The criminal started walking from to the building to the road as he headed to find this old man.

Now finding this old man was not going to be difficult since it was clear where to find this old man and that fact that he was going to be with two other people. Rukasu was not worried about the mission, but he was worried about these guys not following what they are told. Rukasu knew what he had to do when it came down to persuade. His sinister voice had a scary tone to it that put chills down the bodies of people, scaring them. They always fear his voice and if they can get past his voice, then it would be his piercing eyes.

Walking down the road, getting excited about doing this mission as his blood rushed through his body getting him boiled to do anything. The sky was bright blue clear and calming but once the stain of blood covers the ground it will bring back the evil from the mist. However it won't affect the Fire country as much since this won't be as bad, well in Rukasu's eyes. Rukasu was getting close to where the old man would be spotted, so he can start the mission. The rebel walked around the area, as he saw a few people in the area, but he had not seen the old man yet. Watching each person care fully he looked at every person that was in the area. It was about twenty people, but still no sign of the old guy. It was clear that the old guy was hiding, but Rukasu was not going to give up. Then out of the blue he notices a dark object behind a tree not too far from him, and then the dark object went behind the tree. This gave Rukasu the gut feeling he needed to chase after this and once this object knew that he was being chased, it ran away. The criminal rank after the dark figure, and once he got close enough, he notice it was the old man running away...

Rukasu seen the old man, but he did not see the other two guys, and then out appeared an arm from the right side clothesline Rukasu to the ground. Gasping for air , he quickly got up, and then once guy grabbed Rukasu in a full Nelson, while the other guy's smiled and punched Rukasu in the gut. So they like to play rough, Rukasu thought to himself, as he was a little pissed that he got caught, but it did not bother them because he was going to kill them both soon.

The guy kept punching Rukasu in the gut, and then the guy wanted to show off as he brought his fist back then he charged his fist straight to Rukasu's face. However the criminal moved his head to the right and the fist hits the guy as the other guy let go of Rukasu. The criminal grabbed the arm that still next to him and snapped it in half. The guy screamed in pain. Then Rukasu grabbed the guys next and choked him. After his hand gripped the guy's neck, he quickly went behind the guy still holding his neck..

The other guy gets back up not knowing what was going to happen next. He yells at Rukasu to let his friend go, but Rukasu tighten his grip on this guy's neck.

"Where is the old man going? I need to talk to him now!" Rukasu demanded as he looked into the guy's eyes. "If you don't tell me, I will kill your friend right now!" Rukasu yelled at the guy. Rukasu does not play and his eyes glared into the other guy's eye. This guy was scared as he could not let his friend killed, but he did not want to sell out the old man. However it was too late.

The guy that Rukasu was chocking was still in massive pain, but he started to speak, "please... kill me... and spare him... The old man lives down the road about half a mile. You will... find a house... He is there..." The guy said as the evil criminal smiled, had taken out his sword and the other guy eyes widen but he couldn't move. He was too scared. The sword pierced through the chest of the guy, but Rukasu also charged straight to the other guy and the sword pierced the guy's chest as well.

Both of the guys died together, then by using his right foot, he stepped on the body and pulled his sword out. Then he turned around as he went for a walk to the house. It was now the final stages of the mission and Rukasu was not and will not let up on the mission. He was going straight for the kill no matter who had gotten in his way. No one was to mess with the sinister criminal of the mist. It was almost mid afternoon as the criminal was getting closer to the house, still holding the sword with his right hand as he kept walking to his next objective. This blood thirsty eighteen year old criminal had only thing one thing on his mind and that was this mission and nothing else.

Rukasu seen the house that was right in front of him, he walked up to the door, opened it and out came a bunch of shurikens. Rukasu quickly used his sword to deflect the shurikens. This place had a few traps, but that was not going to stop Rukasu. After the shurikens he walked into the building as there was a long hallway and a staircase. then a few doors on each side of the wall. All of the doors opened at the same time, out came four guys holding swords. Like that was going to stop the criminal not his eyes were set on this mission with the rage boiling his blood, charging straight forward as he slashed all four guys in a quick succession.

All four guys fell to the ground, not knowing what had happened as they all bled to death. The criminal walked up the stairs, one he reached the top he opens the door that was in front of him, he saw the old guy there with another guy. Rukasu knew this old man had lots of power and tricks, however this was not going to stop the criminal at all. He took a few steps forward.

"Stop! Why are you here? Tell me now!" The old man said out loud as he glared at the intruder that just basically walked into the house and killed his henchman and just walked up the stairs. To me he already knew this was something bigger than a break in.

"You owe the Big Boss Money and I am here to get it from you." Rukasu said as he glared back at the guy.

"No." The old man said but he should not have said that since from the moment he has said no, Rukasu very quickly used his speed and Sliced the guy next to him in half then the blade stopped right under the old man's neck.

"You seem to misunderstand me, I am not leaving until I get the money." Rukasu as as the old man being shocked now not knowing what had happen his eyes glanced over to Rukasu and knew it was all over. The old man grabbed the big bag of money from under his desk and opened it to show the massive amounts of money there.

"I can pay you double, please don't kill me and kill th..." Before the old man could finish his sentence the blade had already went through the guy's neck. It was all over for the old man. Rukasu grabbed the money. sliced off the guy's finger to bring with him and walked out of the building. His next destination was back to the Big Boss place.

Now his sword on his back, finger in his hand and a big bag of cash on his shoulders, he walked back to the place where the big boss is located. This Mission was a success, all left is to bring the money back to the boss and get paid. This will lead to more jobs in the future and that will help him get a name in this country good or bad. A name is still a name. When it came down to the Water country, he was the demon child who killed his parents in cold blood with no remorse. This kid then traveled the Water country to make a living and he ends up making a name of himself without even knowing he did. After leaving the Water Country he visited the Grass Country and that place was somewhat no better sine the people there tried to feed the giant snake Rukasu's body. Then after the Grass country, he is now in the Fire Country and since he had been here, this place being so nice to him and yet no violence yet. Well Needless to say, Rukasu had been doing good trying to take a little break from being bad. However the feeling of killing felt so good to him, like a rush of addiction feeling so good.

The sinister white haired ex Shinobi was still walking down the path as it was now almost night time as the sun was falling down into the ground. Rukasu knew that it was a full day of work, and since he had gotten a little beat up from earlier, he felt the need to rest after all this whole day. Rukasu felt accomplished that he did what he did, and he really did not care about the people lives that he had destroyed it was just in his nature. His nature being evil that it has helped him see things the way it is and the way it isn't. He knows how everything is supposed to be, and how it should be. Rukasu knew what he wanted to do in the future, but it will be a long life of planning and making sure everything happens the way he want it to happen. Its true that nothing is really always going as planned but when it comes down to it, as long as Rukasu keeps on walking his destination will come sooner or later.

Meanwhile as the criminal was getting close to the building he watched the sky while walking to where he was going. He felt relaxed, and he knew that he couldn't always kill so he had to figure out a way to settle his urge to kill. He knew one day he will be able to pause the urge to kill for only a moment, but that moment will help keep his composure. This will take time to figure out, but he knew that he will figure it out one day.

He reached the place  as the guards recognized him and let him into the building. The criminal walked into the building as he stood in front of the Big Boss, he gave the bag of money to the guy next to him. That guy gave it to the Big Boss. The Big Boss had a big smile across his face, then his eyebrow went up. This big fat guy, look up, with his eyebrow up. "and what else?" Big boss said as Rukasu threw the finger at him and it landed on his desk in front of him. The big boss laughed so hard. He couldn't believe it. He now knew that this guy was finally dead. "As promised, here is your cut." Big Boss said as he signaled a guy to give Rukasu the cash. Rukasu taken the cash and was about to walk away as he turned around just a little. "Listen, Don't leave town. I might have something for you in the near future." The big boss finally said as Rukasu kept on turning around as he walked out of the building once again.

Now that he left the building and his mission was fully complete, he next destination was to find a place to rest. He walked into the woods, about a few miles off from the building. He noticed that it was fully dark out, and his body needed some rest, so he found this big tree, raised his hand, grabbed his sword and pierced it into the ground. He sat down and placed his back against the tree. His eyes closed and he fell asleep.
