Blazing Hurricane IC

Madame Kiyohisa nearly popped a vain after Takayuki's remark. The nerve of that man. Did he know who she was? But, she seemed to decide that finding her wedding ring was more important. She thought a moment as they exited the office, "Ah, yes, I distinctly remember having it when I went to Odani," she recalled, Odani being a tailor shop, "I also had it when I picked up my dry cleaning at Momochi's, and when I ate lunch at Ichiraku's..." she said with certainty, but then added, "...or was it Gomen that I had for lunch?" if she couldn't remember what she had for lunch yesterday, then there was no telling if she really remembered going to those other places either.

Hiroto perked up at the name Gomen and quickly said, "I say we split up and each check one of the places, dibs on Gomen's!" and before anyone could object or stop him, Hiroto had zipped off toward Gomen's. It was a curry shop, one of the best in Konoha. In fact, Mr. Gomen was to curry what Ichiraku was to ramen. And since curry was Hiroto's absolute favorite dish, naturally he wanted to take any chance he could to go to Gomen's.

At the aforementioned curry place, a surprised Mr. Gomen blinked when Hiroto burst in, "Hey, Mr. Gomen did that hag Kiyohisa come in for lunch yesterday and did she have a ring with her?"

"Whoa, slow down Hiroto." said Gomen. Hiroto was a regular, so Gomen knew him pretty well, "No, I'm afraid Madame Kiyohisa wasn't here yesterday, but she was here the day before that. And I'm pretty sure she was wearing her ring as usual."

"Figures, the hag's so old she can't even remember what she has for lunch. Thanks anyway, Mr. Gomen!" with that, Hiroto went outside and started fanning out to see if the ring could be found on the ground somewhere. Unfortunately, he had no luck.

"I'll go to the tailor's shop then I suppose. These missons are truly going to be fun." Yoshihisa muttered to himself in disdrain at how pointless these tasks are and how difficult they seem may be underestimated. Finding a single ring was below ninja work it seemed more like something you'd bring up with the shop owners you were in. Yoshihisa made his way out of the building and thought on how he would do things. Perhaps he'd look on the floors around the place and ask if the keeper had it or not. It was all trivial and sucess was not likely.

"I'll let you go to Ichiraku's." Ayame said giggling at her Sensei. So she ran off to check Momochi's Dry Cleaning. It was a nice simple place. There was an attendant at the counter and a rack of clothes that had been finished behind him. They all had tags that ran off alphabetically he would get one and so would you. He would place his on your clothes, you would show yours when you went to pick them up. A simple yet effective system. Ayame walked in and greeted the attendant; "Hello, would you by any chance have found a wedding ring?" Ayame asked politely, however, she was answered with a sneer. "Tsk, you children always trying to steal. Just so you know we haven't found any wedding rings and even if we had I wouldn't tell you." The attendant had ticked off Ayame enough. "First of all I'm an honorary Kunoichi of the Senju clan. Secondly you just did tell me!" Ayame stormed off to go meet back up with her team.

Takayuki had his destination; Ichiraku Ramen. A place the Jonin was often seen eating and conversing with other Shinobi of Konohagakure. Takayuki nodded to Ayame and was the last to leave the meeting spot of his team. The streets of Konoha were bustling in the mid-day rush. Villagers and Shinobi alike were working hard to maintain a perfect way of life for Konoha. If there was one thing to say about a village; is that the loyalty was incredible for each single person. Kenji finally came into view of Ichiraku and took a deep sigh before entering.

“Takayuki-Kun! You want some miso-ramen? Always have a warm bowl ready for you!”

This was Akane, the waitress of Ichiraku and always had a gigantic crush on Takayuki the size of the moon and then some. Takayuki shook his head no politely and took a seat at the front bar.

“Out of curiosity did Madame Kiyohisa come here with a ring and lose it here?” Takayuki seemed bored with the assignment. “Yes! She actually left it here on purpose.... Whoops. I mean yeah here it is!” Takayuki gasped as his eyes grew wide. She purposely placed it here. Kenji shrugged taking the ring and heading back towards is team.

"Argh!" shouted a very frustrated Hiroto as he walked toward the meeting spot, "It's just one freaking ring, why is it so hard to find? This is so stupid..." he was starting to go on a rant as he kicked a tree stump out of frustration. That was a bad idea, especially since he was wearing shoes with open toes, "Owowowowowow!" he shouted, comically grabbing his now hurting foot and hopping around on the other for a moment, "Stupid stump! Stupid hag and her stupid mission to find her stupid ring!" it was pretty obvious that his search had turned up zilch and he was understandably frustrated.

At that point he was wishing the old man had given them something more interesting for a mission. But apparently Genin were only trusted with these boy scout deeds. No one really believed these were actual missions in the first place. Even Takayuki-sensei had called them errands and not missions. When would they get a real mission? In his frustration, the Genin began practicing his Taijutsu by striking the trees. Training, he found, was the best way to blow off his steam and it would make him a little stronger in the long-run to boot.
