[Plotboard] We Fought the Law

Itsuki sat at his favorite hibachi restaurant, watching the chef spin his spatulas and knives around in an amazing show as he prepared Itsuki's favorite dish. The most mouth watering, tantalizing, onion volcano was being built before his eyes, and he knew the sake shot was coming up. His eyes were gleaming with excitement, ready for his favorite part of the show, when it was all ruined by another shinobi sitting down next to Itsuki. Just as the chef aimed the sake at Itsuki's mouth and began to squirt, Itsuki turned to look at the newcomer, sake splashing against the side of his face. "Really?! Agh, stop. It's ruined. It's all ruined," Itsuki grumbled, wiping his face off as he looked at the man next to him.
"Sorry to bother you, Itsuki, but you do have a job," the man said, smiling at Itsuki's discomfort.
"Yeah, yeah, but it could have waited ten seconds and I could have a mouth full of sake right now!" Itduki retorted, glaring at the shinobi, "So what's so important it couldn't wait until after dinner?"
"Your cousin has a mission that requires you as well..."
"Eiji?! He needs me? Oh, I'm not gonna let him live this one down, and he couldn't even ask himself..."
"No, not Eiji, your other cousin, Yuji," the shinobi finished.
"Wait, the kid's a shinobi now? Well I'll be damned. Wait do you mean I'm the babysitter? Oh by my elders, am I getting assigned a genin team?"
"Gods no. No one would trust you with that. You're to help your cousin with some bandits. He has the full mission details. He's waiting for you at the main gate."
"Well Iwaru, guess you're taking my spot," Itsuki said before looking at the chef, "Sorry, chef, you heard the man. He's picking up the tab too."
And, with that, Itsuki bolted out of the restaurant, leaving a bewildered Iwaru to sit and enjoy the dinner Itsuki had ordered. Rushing through the village, Itsuki thought about his younger cousin. He knew him of course, he was the leader's second son, but Itsuki was closer to the older one and had never really spent much time with Yuji. Mainly cause of the age gap, Itsuki was always too busy doing jobs for the clan that children couldn't help with. Sliding down a pipe, Itsuki flipped off onto the ground in front of the gate and looked around for his younger cousin. "Oi! Yuji! Where are ya?" He began to yell as he continued to look, "I swear, if Iwaru pranked me, I'm kicking his ass tomorrow," Itsuki began to grumble to himself as he continued to search for Yuji
