Pigs in the Mud [Kenji/Shizuka]

Name: Wild Animal Attack
Rank: B-Rank
Participants: Moon Village, Sun Village, Missing Ninja
Type: Group Mission
Reward: 45 EXP, 20 Ryo
Location: Within a village's region
Details: A dangerous wild animal has been spotted out in the area, terrorizing travelers or local villagers. Your mission is to hunt this animal, and either get it to leave the area or take it down. If it remains in the region it could cause major damage or even hurt someone, so it is important to remove the beast as delicately as possible.
Requirements: Each person must make at least four posts, totaling 1600 WC.

She never quite understood why every time there was an animal attack within the village, she was paired with a Shinobi from the village of the moon. Now she didn't care, not so much mind that it was done this way. She just found it peculiar. First the Ice boy from the village, now another person from the moon village. She wondered if the villages liked to fake these animal attacks to build good relations between the two villages.

Shizuka arrived at the mud pits. A place is known for its luxurious mud baths. Supposedly the mud was rich with minerals that made your skin glow and make it more youthful. She herself was a patron here but today so was a family of wild pigs. They loved rolling around in the mud, keeping them cool from the desert sun. The patrons had run fleeing from the messy little oinks.

She waited by the entrance for the Moon Shinobi to arrive.

Another day, another mission in the sun village that Kenji was finding himself at far more than he'd liked to be but alas, this was the luck of the draw and lady luck apparently despised Kenji's very existence to be forcing him on so many missions far from home. He missed the days of enjoying the scenery that wasn't just sand as far as the eye could see, he'd even take the frozen tundras of the mountain ranges again over another mission with sand.

The one eyed man only sighed as he wiped some sweat building up on his forehead already, he was glad he wore his forehead protector loosely around his neck, otherwise he was certain the sweat would've made it more unbearable. The heat had already claimed his usual jacket, the man instead abandoning almost all upper wear save for his flak jacket and a sheathe thrown around his back for his Wakizashi, last thing he'd need is to lose even more layers in order to prevent heat stroke, especially since he was teaming up with another shinobi for this mission.

As usual his gear was all safely secured within his flak jacket, including some new additions he had thought would benefit him due to his own experiences as of late. The clam being a fine example of why he could use exploding notes for example, the idea of traps being the reason for his own wire and of course, some senbon for reloading Lingchi should the need arrive. His kunai and medical supplies were in the usual spot, same for his candy sticks and paper for Lingchi, all he'd need to do is prepare to fight off some animals as is the norm for shinobi apparently. Although considering the last time he went fight some other people, he got a kunai in the shoulder and a punch in the gut from an ally, he was more than happy to go fight whatever animal was causing trouble this time.

Finally arriving at the meeting point, Kenji was surprised to see a girl a fair bit shorter than him waiting for him but what was more eye catching were her red eyes and pale skin, if Kenji didn't know any better he'd wonder if she was related to Setuka by chance. "Heya, name's Kenji Haruka, pleasure to meet you." Kenji would greet the girl with a simple bow, a grin on his face as he did so. "So any clue what we're hunting and why we're hunting it here? Can't say I know any dangerous animals that like to live in mud off the top of my head..." Kenji would question as he thought out loud to himself, cursing himself internally for the feeling that he had somehow forgot something, something somewhat important but the exact details escaped him. They probably won't important.

Active Gear:

Kenji could only raise his eye brow as the woman claimed they weren't hunting any animal, which was slightly confusion to the man since he was certain the mission said they were going have to deal with some sort of animal. Although before he could get lost in trying to think what was the mission again, the woman suddenly begun to undress and Kenji could only watch confused, slightly red faced and wondering just what he had gotten himself into as he watched the admittedly attractive strip herself into a bathing suit as Kenji could only thank his past self for deciding to pack his own swim suit as well.

His stupor was broken once the woman told him that some wild pigs had gotten themselves into the mud baths and Kenji could only stupidly nod his head as he fought to move his eye away from the girl who was now putting her hair up and showing more of her body. This wasn't a thing he thought he was going to be doing today, getting an eyeful of a beautiful lady in a swimsuit who kinda reminded him of Sets in appearance but he had yet to even meet someone as.... bold as Imino. Swallowing the lump in his throat, Kenji got himself back into somewhat normal condition as the sun gem taunted him about swimming and he could only grin at the remark.

"This ain't my first rodeo." Kenji told the lady as he begun to strip as well, making sure to take out the paper containing Lingchi before discarding his pants and leaving him in his underwear for the time being before unsealing Lingchi. "Lingchi, would you be so kind to make sure our dear guest doesn't get an eyeful of the goods just yet?" Kenji "asked" his puppet as he connected his chakra strings to the shirtless puppet already wearing it's swimming gear, yet another brilliant foresight by the puppeteer. With his strings connected, Kenji would make the puppet stand up and Kenji would place the puppet's cloak within it's hand before making it stretch it out to act as a divider between the sun shinobi and himself as he took off his underwear and slipped on his swimming trunks.

With that done, he'd make the puppet drop the cloak and Kenji would simply stand there with a grin on his face as he placed his hands on his hips and momentarily flexed various muscles on his body for the woman. "I know, I know... Looking great." Kenji simply joked with his usual cockiness before wading into the mud after the lady. "Say... Where exactly are the pigs actually?" Kenji questioned as he made his puppet follow the duo, hovering just slightly above the mud. Last thing he'd need is to get gunk in the limbs and lock him up after all.
