Dat Grinding, Dat Mission Grinding [P]

The day was as any other day in Konohagakure, well any other normal day within the Hidden Leaf village, as the sun shined bright over the beautiful luscious green forest hiding the village as it spread over the Land of Fire, as well as shining upon the village itself providing a nice clear view of everything as it lit the village up. The birds were singing within the surrounding forest as well as throughout the Hidden Leaf village as they flew through the skies doing whatever they wanted. These birds were probably the spitting image of freedom, they could do whatever they wished, go wherever they wanted and poop on whoever they wished to do so. The last part had it's own consequences though but they were birds and didn't have much of a brain to think about those consequences. There were shinobi in this world that possessed such small brains too it seemed as bandits were always trying to poop on people's heads, not in a literal fashion (I hope), but instead what was meant by that was the fact that bandits always tried to ruin people's lives by stealing what belonged to other people, killing people and thus ripping their lives from them. It was a sad thing indeed, their brains were too small for them to make an honest living as true shinobi of this world, so they chose the path of a bandit which will ultimately get them killed in the end. Amongst other things mentioned before, bandits loved to try and get into villages and sneak past the gates in order to satisfy their needs to steal and destroy lives. Ryujin however would not stand for such things, no, he loved his village and the need to protect it, and it's people as well as his clan which inhabits this beautiful green village, was a great need indeed. Which is why today he was taking on the "Scout the walls" mission again in order to prevent any bandits or other threats from entering his home which he so dearly loves, by starting at the first point of entry. This was a great chance for him to once again prove to his fellow shinobi inhabiting the Hidden Leaf village how much he cares for their home and them. Before starting out he would make a small manipulation within his chakra in order to activate his Sensing technique. A technique which would greatly help him in his efforts to protect the village and complete this low ranking mission. It was kind of funny to Ryujin how such a low ranking mission had such a high importance to the village's safety, a shame really, paying people so little ryo in return for their safety and knowledge of what could be coming their way which further dealt with their safety. There were few people in this world who's sensory range could extend to that of Ryujin's, which was five hundred meters, and that with this basic sensing technique. Imagine if he developed a greater sensing technique, just how far could his sensory extend? That was a matter for another day however. Wearing his usual attire of dark clothing with his cloak covering said clothing as it was tied together in the center of his body in front of him. Ryujin would also use another technique to help him complete more missions while he was scouting the walls of his home village. A simple handseal was formed which manipulated his chakra once more in order to form an explosive clone next to himself. The clone was the spitting image of Ryujin himself, he thought like Ryujin, fought like Ryujin, looked like Ryujin and even smelled the same as Ryujin, amongst other things. This clone was holding the same amount of chakra as Ryujin himself, as Ryujin split the total amount of chakra he had into two halves and each of the two Ryujins held one of these two halves, giving each of them two hundred and fifty chakra, which was five hundred chakra in total. Ryujin held a lot of chakra inside his body when he didn't have any clone or clones created, more than the average shinobi of his own rank and more than most shinobi still alive today. This clone knew exactly what it had to do without Ryujin having to speak any words to it as Ryujin already knew what he wanted the clone to do before it was created, so the knowledge was passed onto the clone during it's creation just as all of Ryujin's knowledge was passed onto the clone once it was created, even things like how to perform the techniques Ryujin himself knew, so this clone was in perfect shape for a fight if one was to occur. Standing next to the walls now with his clone beside him, Ryujin would give a big jump using his strength to make it onto the top of the village walls which completely surrounded the Hidden Leaf village. The clone however stayed behind and would not join him but instead head on to his own task at hand set by Ryujin as explained before, to complete other missions. Mainly missions involving crimes such as bank robberies or store thefts occurring throughout this beautiful Hidden Leaf village. Ryujin set forth to complete his "Scout the walls" mission as he started to take a casual walk on top of these fifteen meter tall walls. The reason for him taking this casual walk and not a faster one was simple, he wanted to make sure he didn't miss anything. Even with his sensing technique active he could still miss something important, someone important in fact, as there existed a counter to this sensing technique. A technique which hid the user's chakra from anyone trying to sense them. This allowed for an easier invasion into a village if one was not careful enough to spot these invading bandits or shinobi which wished to create havoc within the Hidden Leaf village. On top of that, the Kage selection tournament, or better known as the Grand Tournament, was well on it's way and in fact it would be starting tomorrow, which meant security had to be upped during this delicate time as we all know what happened the last time the Grand Tournament started. It was a day for all of shinobi and also the day Ryujin lost both of his parents to the Bijuu. The only thing that was good which came of that day was the destruction of the treacherous village Iwagakure. Ryujin made it his life's mission to ensure something like that would never in his lifetime happen to the Hidden Leaf village, yet another reason why he was doing this low C ranked mission to scout the village's protective and surrounding walls. After a while he had completed one round of circling around the entire village and scouted the entire surrounding area of the Hidden Leaf village as well as the parts of this beautiful green village that are near the walls as he not only scouted the areas which were outside of the village walls but also these areas which were inside the walls as threats didn't just exist in the outside world, but within each village existed those who wished to become rogues and harm his home. He would not stand for it. Although he finished one round of scouting the walls it did not mean he was done yet, no, he wanted to complete atleast two rounds of scouting the walls to be extra safe so he continued his walk as he reached the destination at which he started to scout the walls of the Hidden Leaf village. While he was doing this, his clone was also searching for danger inside the village which further proved Ryujin's love for the his home as well as how much he wanted to have it be protected from any dangers whether it be foreign or domestic. This clone also wore a cloak just as Ryujin did, and inside Ryujin's cloak was the three scrolls for the missions they were going to be completing today such as "Scout the walls" and "Bank robbery" as well as "Stop the thief". And as Ryujin's clone was well just that, a clone, he too had these scrolls inside his own cloak. The clone would be walking through the village at a casual pace just as Ryujin is doing right at this moment on top of the village walls, so he too could get a good view of things and not miss anything of importance to his two missions assigned to him by his creator Ryujin. The clone would put one foot in front of the other and on it went one foot more and one foot again, it seemed boring but to him it was indeed important to capture any possible details or implications of a bank robbery happening or maybe a store being robbed by yet another thief or bandit, it was hard to tell the difference between the two to be honest. One was a citizen of the Hidden Leaf and stole from his own people, whilst the other was without a village and stole from others. Ryujin nor his clone could decide which was worse, the one stealing from his own or the other who betrayed those who were his own and now steals from others. Either way, which ever one it was that was going to be robbing a bank or stealing from a store today would be apprehended by Ryujin's clone. The clone itself was a dangerous thing on it's own without it having to use any techniques as it was formed by the "Clone Great Explosion" technique in which the clone can cause a big and powerful as well as deadly explosion upon it dispersing or even at will. This was the main reason why Ryujin chose to teach himself this technique instead of just learning the normal Kage Bunshin or better known as Shadow Clone technique. As Ryujin continued to walk upon the walls and scout for any dangers which he might find either with his sensing abilities or with his own physical senses such as his sight or hearing, the clone continued on throughout the village when he finally heard something of importance. The ringing sounds created by the bank's alarm flowed through the air and into the ears of this explosive clone. The first thing it did when it heard these sounds coming from the bank's alarm was to charge at full speed towards the bank so it could apprehend whoever it was trying to rob it. The only thing people would see if they looked at Ryujin's clone was the clone itself disappearing into thin air as he moved so fast he become a blur to their untrained and slow eyes, even to most Shinobi Ryujin's clone would become a blur. It was the perfect representation of his great speed. The clone wasted no time as he entered the bank's premises, rushing through the door he would see one highly ranked asshole with lowly ranked skills holding a sharp katana to one of the pretty ladies' throats behind the counter, yelling at her to give him the money or she, and I quote, "looses her speaking thingy". This one wasn't bright.. The thought ran through the clone's head as he heard this. The robber however had little chance to continue his threat as he would be met with Ryujin's knee being thrusted into his back within an instant as he finished his little old stupid threat towards the pretty young lady of the bank. Ryujin himself as well as his clone had great knowledge of the human body, and this was used to his advantage as he didn't just thrust his leg into a random spot on the robber's back, no, he thrusted the leg into just the right weakened spot of the robber's back in order to break his back as his knee connected with said robber's back causing him to drop the katana and fall to the ground as his nerves were severed meaning he would never again be able to walk. Ryujin's clone would then proceed to look at the lady as his target was immobilized and give her a smooth smile and wink. All the while Ryujin himself was still scouting the walls and was halfway done with the second course of his scouting as he started at the south and now reached the north of the Hidden Leaf village's walls. There was still one mission left over for the explosive clone so he would leave the bank's guard, who was no help in apprehending the robber mind you, to take the robber into custody and leave the bank through it's doors in order to continue his casual walk throughout the village and search for any other bank or store that was going to or is currently being robbed. He would notice some small children playing in the streets with their parents watching over them as they enjoyed themselves, much like Ryujin is watching over the village as they continue with their own lives, most unaware of his actions. A few minutes of searching through the village once more would pay off again as Ryujin's explosive clone reached yet another place being robbed, however this time it wasn't a bank but instead a store being robbed by yet another high ranking asshole with low ranking skills. Ryujin's explosive clone was made aware of this as the store owner's screams fled into the streets and could be heard twenty meters away easily, which was just about the distance the clone was away from the store. Just as he did a few minutes ago with the bank that was being robbed, Ryujin's clone would disappear into this air or so it seemed for any onlookers as his speed was so great at which he ran, which was full speed, that he became a complete and utter blur to their untrained eyes. Within under a second the clone would be inside the store though this time he didn't even care to listen to the thief's idiotic remarks and threats but instead the thief would be taken out with his own kunai which was being held to the store owner's throat. What was it about thiefs and robbers and any other low life wannabe bandit and their sharp things being held to ladies' throats? He cared little though as the thief was apprehended just as the robber was earlier, and that under one second. All the thief would see was his own kunai being held at the lady's throat and suddenly it was held to his own by Ryujin's explosive clone which was standing next to him. Fear set into his mind immediately as his eyes widened and his smirk changed into a stretching straight expression of fear. He would once again look at the lady with a smooth smile and wink, after which he'd leave with the bandit and turn him in to the guards patrolling the village themselves, which mind you yet again helped no bit. The clone's job was done and by now Ryujin's second scout was also done, so they met up back at their starting destination where the clone would disperse outside the village walls with Ryujin being on the walls, 30 meters from the clone's explosion. Ryujin would the proceed to head to his home and start his usual training for the day to improve his skills for tomorrow's Grand Tournament.
