Mission two would be a bit more different than his first official endeavor. Although the elder woman prior was in need of assistance due to physical handicaps the man he was sent to help was more so in the spectrum of desperation. Which to the young shinobi was really all the same as his services would be no less important with regards to the task at hand. Though he was not fully aware of how the village functioned from an economical stand point he presumed it maintained a delicate balance that was perhaps difficult to assimilate into. Hence the desperation of the elder man in front of him to aid in establishing his business with service and good reputation.
The elder salesman went by the name of Gen. It was a simple name to match a rather plain and stereotypical old aged citizen. He had a wild mane of gray hair with streaks of the nostalgic black hue that it once used to be along with a pointy nose and oval spectacles. A relative hunch back who could barely stand upright as the straps of his blue suspenders hung low from the force of gravity. What was more peculiar was his full compensation up front prior to the missions completion. A rare and unseen display of faith especially with one such genin who boasted virtually no experience.
"Here you go sonny, take it. All 9,100 ryo. I am counting on you to deliver these five items."
The old salesman relayed after handing the young genin the valid currency and specified five items. He was given a small box of unknown contents, five letters, a barrel of fish, a box of chocolate, and a large stuffed teddy bear. It was hard to imagine what all these things hand in common but it wasn't his job to wonder, simply to execute. After a nod of confirmation Gen had excused himself to other duties leaving the young shinobi to it. Unraveling a small scroll he summoned his faithful puppet Tajuugokan. There were multiple items so he would need multiple modes of transport.
Deploying the two additional replications from the upper portion of its center canister the young ninja now had an additional six arms at his disposal. He himself would carry the small box and letters, concealing them easily within his long sleeve black robe. With simple strokes of his fingers each of his puppets was commanded with a task. One carrying the barrel of fish, the other box of chocolate, and the last the large stuffed teddy bear. He was also given a list of drop off locations for each item but it would be up to his discretion to choose what to deliver first.
Wasting little time he mobilized himself and his puppets enroute to the local fishery. It was a wise first choice as the fish could easily spoil over time without the proper management. After dropping off the barrel only a few hundreds yards away his next mission would be securing the chocolates delivery. After all it was a rather hot day and having them melt would surely be counter productive. Dropping the box of chocolate off at a local residency to be left upon a door step along side the teddy bear it was easily assumed to be a romantic gesture for perhaps a special someone.
Continuing to move right along his next stops were the villages post office and bank, which luckily for him he was in the same vicinity nearest one of the villages town squares. Dropping off the five letters first he managed to make it to the post office in time before their last scheduled run of the day, assuring the outgoing mail would be delivered promptly. Lastly his final stop was the bank where he'd handed the village banker the black box which turned out to be a deposit of money for Mr. Gen's delivery service. With his delivery's complete and his money already in hand his mission was complete and there seemed no need to revisit Mr. Gen as he had already been paid. His confirmation of completion needing only to be delivered to the mission center.
