It was getting late in the day. Not that Hachigo ever minded. Worst thing for her at night was the birds who wanted to rest on her. But the sound she made when she stepped often was not appreciated by the residents of Iwagakure trying to get some sleep. So, as a standing rule, she had to check in during daylight hours and it was only during those times she could pick up new missions.
Just recently, she had been transferred to a new Jounin. An Kardi Omi. She never understood the naming structures of the free residents. She was the 85th slave of her previous owner, so Hachigo it was. Perhaps, her new Jounin came from a family that used cards? For some reason the given name sounded like they enjoyed certain thematic challenges to grab treasure.
Hachigo’s latest Mission was one very similar to the work she had to do before she was a ninja. Clearing rocks from a mine. It had been a while since she had a job that took 16 hours to complete. In fact, she recognized a few of the faces that came out from the other side of the boulders once cleared. Their names. No. But the faces were very reminiscent to some she grew up with.
Entering the training grounds of the village, Hachigo sopped at the side of the entrance and looked around. Unable to see someone who looked like an Omi. She politely asked someone walking out After giving him a good laugh, he pointed her Omi’s way. A few minutes later, the clanking of her footsteps on the hard ground would announce her arrival to the designated training ground. Instead of entering the field, she stood by the side, patiently waiting for her to come near.
