Missions:

It was time to take on another couple of missions from the Bounty Office. It would seem that there were a couple of targets that needed to be brought to justice today. The first, would be a lowly Bandit Leader who had grown too big for his encampment and began to pose a threat to the nearby village. Kirito would need to infiltrate the camp, extract their leader and kill all bandits. It wouldn't be too difficult as from what intelligence had found they weren't of a higher rank in skill than the common fresh Genin. Kirito would begin to make his way towards the encampment in question to begin scouting. 

Upon arriving at the camp, he found that it was not very large and simply had around twenty bandits inside of it. The majority of them were sleeping, but a few were guarding the camp. This would be his first thing to accomplish. Counting each bandit and keeping track of them while also trying to figure out which one was the leader. This task was not difficult in and of itself, as he assumed the Leader was the one occupying the largest tent and the one who had the highest chakra signature. If he was correct, he would scope out his best entry point and plan for his actions in the taking of this bandit fort. He would form three clones to aid him in the taking of this fortification.

The first clone entered the fortress from the east, sweeping into the nearby tents to slit throats silently and quickly. The second clone moved from the north and did the same, along with the third clone that moved in from the west. As soon as the clones cleared their tents of sleeping bandits, they would immediately dispel themselves to return their chakra and memories to the original. Once he knew the sleeping bandits were now sleeping on a more permanent level, he would make his way in from the south. Forming a thick, white mist, he would move in silence. Taking out the patrolling bandits left and right until he finally found one that seemed to be ready for him. 

Dodging a swing from a square pointed blade, kirito would punch the assailant in the stomach followed by an elbow to the chin and then another to the temple. These hit so powerfully that the final jab nearly ripped the man's head from his body. Luckily, Kirito was able to move away fast enough to avoid getting any blood on his nice, white haori. He looked and saw the main tent and drew his sword, it was time to make an entrance that this man would never forget.

Running around the tent at breakneck speeds, Kirito would cut along the edge causing it to fall swiftly. It revealed the Bandit leader in all of his "Menacing" glory. He was the typical burly type with a bald head and a thick beard. He was well muscled and a bit on the hefty side of the spectrum. He had on fur armor and carried a large club on his back. It was obviously heavy from a civilian stand point, but on a shinobi level, he might as well be swinging around a little stick. Kirito was almost sad for the guy, as his victim pulled the weapon from his back and made idle threats to Kirito if he didn't run away and never return. To be frank, this man was in no position to be making demands and Kirito would show him why.

Slamming his hands on the ground, Kirito would cause numerous chains to erupt and entangle his target, effectively immobilizing him, but not shutting him the F up. This was accomplished forth right by Kirito delivering a swift chop to the neck. Once this was done, it was simply the matter of carrying the man back to the bounty office before he awoke and started babbling that mouth again about how a little kid could get a lucky shot every now and again, or how Kirito must have had some kind of secret helper casting all those jutsu. All in all, Kirito was glad to have turned in his bounty, alive, right at dawn. Time for another Mission.

His next mission would prove to be more annoying than difficult as our A-ranked Jinchuuriki would need to hunt down and capture a little Genin who managed to escape the Land of Earth on the run from the government. This effectively labelled him as a missing ninja, and as the Bounty Office was not directly affiliated with any specific village, they were able to offer missions like this. Once the ninja was turned in, he, or his body, would be returned to the village so that proper payment could be presented. It would seem that the first issue Kirito would be facing today would be to actually find the kid.

He asked around the closest border to the Land of Earth and while initially he came up with no definitive answers, he was eventually pointed in the direction of a man who worked on the patrol office, but was soon to be slated for retiring. Apparently he had seen a young kid sneak in through the border, but he said the kid looked too impoverished and weak to be a threat, so he let it slide. Kirito was almost tempted to turn the man in to the village or at least the highest authority in the patrol area of the Land of Fire, but he decided that it was none of his business and that it was probably a better call to just let it slide.

Upon approaching the man, he would find that he was obviously in his late eighties and was bordering on senile. It took around an hour and a half of talking in circles, but eventually, he caught something helpful. The man had said that he saw the boy heading in the direction of one of the local help buildings. These were locally owned an operated charity buildings that helped those who could not help themselves. It was a pleasant thought, but not the best place for something such as that. For it to be so close to the border was just begging for issues to arise in the near future. Either way, Kirito had his lead, and he would follow it. 

Upon arriving in the area of the building, he noticed that there were slight variations in the topography of the earth. If he wasn't as observant as he was, then he never would have noticed, but he did. It seemed that either someone had been covering their tracks, or using some form of earth jutsu. It was most likely some combination of both things as the boy he was after, who was in fact very close to Kirito's own age, was known to have some competency in the Earth Release. Following the lead he had uncovered, he would enter into a canyon through a rather tight crevice, tight even by his own standards. He knew that it was somewhat likely that he was entering into a trap, but he was at the point now that he didn't care. It was time to catch the boy wherever he was and let that be the end of it.

Sneaking through the canyon, he finally came across a fire that was cooking something that smelled like fish. It was the perfect opportunity to rain on the boy's parade. Kirito would preform the "Rain Tiger at Will" Technique to cause the boy's fire to go out and allow him to prepare himself for the capture that was about to happen. He would approach the boy and upon seeing him, Kirito would feel even more odd at the prospect of battling someone so close to his age yet so indescribably far behind him it was humerus to say the least. The boy had on the typical Iwa Hitai-ite with a scratch through it. He had on light brown pants and a shirt of almost identical color. His hair was brown and his eyes black, all in all, nothing about him really stood out in any way.

Approaching the now cursing boy swiftly as he attempted to get his fire roaring back to life, Kirito would deliver a final chop to the boy's neck, rendering him unconscious. His next task or, group of tasks would be to transport the boy back through the canyon and all the way back to the bounty office so that he could cash in his rewards and go and get some dinner. He had managed to get this mission done in a decent manner of time, so it wasn't long before he was leaving the bounty office in search of some decent food to hold him off until the morning. He finally settled for Ramen and ate almost ten bowls before calling it a night and preparing himself for bed, it had been a long day.
