Mission: Scout The Bottom Of The Mountain

Spoiler:

Torin moved quickly through the village, hoping to get his mission over with as fast as possible. Why am I doing this? he thought to himself, still grumpy from being woken up so early. The sun had barely risen over the mountain when he had received a scroll telling him that he had to scout the bottom of the mountain to check for any intruders. This hadn't pleased Torin, being woken up so early that is. He had planned on relaxing that entire day, but instead he was sent on a mission. Normally, Torin wouldn't complain, but this was his day off. Why should he have to do a mission today. But, Torin, faithful to his village, dragged his sorry ass out of bed and suited up for the scouting mission. This was going to be a long day Torin had thought. He hoped he was wrong.

Torin quickly swerved through the village, making good time too. Torin went through the gates of the village, making sure sure that he told the guard that he was on a mission from the Tsuchikage. The guard just shrugged, and wished him luck as he sat back down and closed his eyes. Pitiful. Torin thought as he raced towards the mountain. Guards like him made the entire village look bad. Torin raced to the bottom of the mountain, making sure not to trip and fall. Hey, it had happened before. As Torin thought of the incident, he suddenly stopped to a halt. He thought he heard a noise. Torin listened very closely for the sound. Torin waited and waited and finally, after about a minute, his luck had payed off and he heard the noise again. There was no mistaking it this time. Pebbles were being knocked down from the mountain. Not very stealthy, are you? thought Torin, now thinking on what hell they taught in the Academy now. Torin focused back on the noise, and jumped towards it. It was coming from higher up, so he jumped across onto some rocks, and jumped up onto the higher path. As he came up on the path, he saw a boy, no older than 14, right in front of him. The boy had his backed turned to Torin, so he decided to speak up to let the boy know of his presence. "Hey, who are you? Torin said, waiting for an answer.

The kid jumped at the sound of Torin's voice. He whirled around to face Torin, a look of fright in his eyes. Torin thought inwardly that this kid was most unfortunate, because the kid had to deal with him. "I'm...I'm..." the kid tried to stammer out, not being very effective at it. Torin rolled his eyes, then said, "Hey kid, I don't want to hurt you. Just tell me who you are." The kid sat there, wide-eyed, not saying anything. Torin sighed, and quickly did the hand signs for Shadow Clone Jutsu. The kid's eyes went wider, wondering what jutsu Torin was doing, and the kid started to run. The jutsu finished, and Torin and the clone ran after the kid. It was obvious to Torin that the kid was not particularly good at Taijutsu, since he caught up with him very quickly. As the kid turned his head to look at Torin, Torin used his Spinning Heel Drop Taijutsu. His clone and him came up and forcefully brought their heels onto the kid's shoulders. As the Taijutsu finished, the kid was on the ground, cold-clocked. Torin looked at the kid, disgust starting to show on his face. This kid was knocked out after that? Pfft. Weakness is a cancer. Torin thought, showing no remorse towards what he did. He was simply doing his job. But maybe, if my superiors don't kill him, we can make him stronger. Torin picked up the kid and put him on his shoulders, carrying him back to the village. He left his clone their to keep watch.
