Mizuken made his way through the mildly crowded village streets of Kirigakure. He could only think of how long it took him to complete his last mission. This was somewhat troubling him and he decided to make it up to himself. Instead of returning to his training like he planned, Mizuken headed for the Mizukage's Office in hopes for a new mission. After about 15 minutes of walking, he was stopped by the same Jounin that had gave him his other two missions. The Jounin held a new mission scroll in his hand and held it out for Mizuken. This time however, Mizuken decided to speak up and say;
"Before I accept this mission.... tell me who you are"
The Jounin simply let a smile come across his face as he grabbed Mizuken's hand and placed the scroll in his hand. The man then said;
"In due time Mizu... in due time"
As Mizuken clenched the scroll, the Jounin disappeared and left Mizuken with another mission. Mizuken simply went silent as he opened the scroll and read about his new mission. He couldn't believe it.... he had to do another mission that dealt with animals. As he continued reading, he read that he had two choices. One, capture them and deliever them to the pound, or, the second option, kill them. In Mizuken's mind this would be so much easier than the last since he was finally going to be able to kill something. Rolling the scroll up and putting it in his pocket, Mizuken was on his way to find these strays.
Mizuken spent the first half hour of his mission roaming the village of where the strays had previously been spotted. He checked all the places he believed the dogs would probably strike, but found nothing. At first he believed the dogs had already been captured, but if that was true then someone probably would've informed him already. By now, Mizuken grew somewhat tired of his search and sat on the fountain in the middle of the Village. He closed his eyes and simply began to let his mind roam about.
He thought of how he had been missing out on precious training, abusing his special ability Ukojizai no Jutsu (Fierce Raining at Will), and even running into all the strange people within the past few weeks. As all these things seemed to engulf him, it was quickly interrupted by a high pitched scream. Startled, Mizuken sat up and his eyes shot open. Scanning the area, Mizuken saw a woman screaming as a pack of dogs went running by her. It was unclear what the dogs had in their mouths, but Mizuken was sure that those were the dogs he was after.
Standing up from the fountain, Mizuken began to run. He was going to catch those dogs if it was the last thing he did.
Mizuken was running a good 9-10 feet behind the pack of strays. The only reason was because they had gotten a good head start on himself, but that headstart would quickly end once Mizuken planned to use his technique to catch them. However, Mizuken's plan would prove futile once the dogs would scatter down 5 different streets. Without stopping, Mizuken continued after the one stray that was in the back of the pack.
As the stray turned back and saw Mizuken not too far behind, it continued to run. By now Mizuken got a good look at the dog's appearance. It was average in size, but was fairly ragged in appearance. It was a scruffy, light brown dog with its fur all matted together. Despite its appearance, Mizuken would show no remorce towards the dog once he finally caught up to it in a near deserted street.
Mizuken grabbed the dog by the back of its neck and this seemed to upset the dog as it turned to bite him. Mizuken wasn't going to let this fly and before the dog could bite him, a kunai had been shoved through the dog's neck. The dog grew limp and was still being held in Mizuken's hand. Now as Mizuken looked at it, it was clear he didn't care he killed it, but it was for his own self defense. Looking around, Mizuken saw a trash can and dumped the body there.
Walking out of the deserted street, Mizuken dusted his hands clean and looked around once more to see if any more dogs were in the area. Unfortunately, two dogs were within sight not too far away and Mizuken made his way towards them.
Mizuken slowly approached the two dogs and looked down at them. One was bigger than most dogs and had all white shaggy fur. It was standing over a brown dog with spots that seemed to have hurt itself. Mizuken showed no emotion as he saw this and simply came closer. Once more, the white dog growled and showed its fangs, but Mizuken didn't care and pulled out a kunai. When the dog saw this, he decided to attack but unfortuantely, Mizuken wasn't in the mood for this and killed the dog.
The brown dog that was laying on the ground howled aloud in remorse for its companions death. Mizuken shook his head as he knew that this dog would soon serve the same fate and he raised a kunai to it as well. Picking up the limp bodies of the two dogs, Mizuken made his way to another trash can and dumped the bodies of the two. Returning from the trash can, Mizuken saw two more dogs that were in the stray packrun in the opposite direction once they saw Mizuken dump the bodies.
"Dammit", Mizuken thought as he chased after the dogs.
Mizuken managed to corner the two dogs in an alley and when he drew closer to them, he saw that they were actually no more than puppies. They were both jet black and, in Mizuken's opinion, thought they were twins. The only difference was that one had a white spot on their left eye and the other had a white spot on their right. The sight of the two puppies fighting for their life was one Mizuken couldn't bare to look at. The other dogs he killed meant nothing to him, but when he saw these two, he couldn't help but think of how close he and his brother were until he was abandoned by him. However he wasn't going to let that happen to these two puppies and he decided to let them live.
Mizuken picked up the two puppies, one in his right hand and the other in his left, and returned from the alley. It was actually somewhat amazing that he let the two puppies live, but in a twisted way Mizuken decided that they would have more trouble in life than if he would've killed him. By letting them live, Mizuken was going to see if their relationship would last or if it would slowly die out to the point that they kill each other. Mizuken would think about these things as he cotninued down the street with these puppies in hand.
By the time Mizuken reached the pund, the puppies had quit attempting to escape and decided to just let Mizuken take them to wherever. Mizuken on the other hand has plans for these two puppies and he would reveal these plans to the dog catcher once they allowed him inside the pound. Mizuken made his way into the pound and asked to speak to the head catcher. The lady behind the desk in the lobby nodded her head and told him to follow her.
The two went through a door behind the desk where there were numerous rows and rows of cages. Some were filled with animals some weren't. The ones that were filled with animals showed some obviously abused animals. These images didn't bother Mizuken as he had seen these animals before, but the puppies began to lower their tails as if they were scared. Mizuken knew it, the two puppies he held were nothing but bark and no bite, but that wouldn't be the case for long.
As the lady walked him into the head catcher's office, Mizuken saw an overweight man wearing a cap over his head. Mizuken decided to make his statement of his being there by slamming the door, causing the man to leap from his chair. When the catcher saw Mizuken he was delighted.
"How come you didn't check in with me before starting your mission mate?"
"Cause I didn't need to. Anyways I need a favor."
"Anything... whats up?"
Mizuken held out his arms and revealed the two puppies. The man leaned in a little bit to see them and could only let a small look of disappointment come across his face.
"Ya know there were 5 right?"
"Yeah... they were killed. These two on the other hand were lucky and I think that you should let them live."
The man looked up at Mizuken with a puzzled expression.
"Why?"
Mizuken placed the two puppies on the man's desk and looked down on them. As the two puppies were released, the quickly ran to each other and cuddled.
"Cause sooner or later their gonna kill each other."
The man's puzzled look grew even more puzzled.
"I don't understand...", he said as he pulled out a scroll that noted the mission's completion.
"No need for you too... just let them live.", Mizuken said as he grasped the scroll and exited the office, leaving the puppies in the man's care.
Mizuken would leave the Dog Pound and continue back to the Mission HQ to claim the reward for completing the mission.
