Kisho, while kneeling down in a rare patch of grass removed from a main walkway, tossed a rock towards a discarded bucket, whose previous contents had stained it a dark auburn. Not particularly interested in the result, he reached for the last rays of light, stretching out his limbs wildly. Behind him the soft thud of rock hitting stone announced the result of his usual pre-mission endeavors though today’s routine was uncharacteristically tame; a drop in the bucket one could say. The world was full of such lovely distractions and Kisho, uselessly weak to the temptations of lust, often indulged himself in all of its offerings. Tonight, however, on the eve of his first patrol, there was a need for increased vigilance and he would respond accordingly.
“Outside in, inside out,” he said softly, repeating the words of the mission giver. The mission was a standard patrol of the alleyways. He would be working his way from the outside of the avenue, eventually penetrating its depths only to make his out again. There was to be no lethal force used and if attacked, he was to only flee, leaving more experienced ninja to handle the matter he assumed. He was strictly a show of force; merely a presence to deter any crime.
Of course he had heard the tales of the deeds performed here, some of them good, but most bad. He didn’t exactly fear the area, however, even with the weakened rules of engagement. It would nothing but an extremely long walk, with a few interesting people waiting to be met along the way. It was definitely an easy mission for him.
