Mission Details:

Kenshin walked through the open doors of the ninja academy, his arms hidden underneath his black cloak and his onyx eyes gazing off into the distance as if thinking of something. Having once been a student of this pitiful establishment it was no surprise to him that a mission to repair training equipment was needed as the place had been mostly a dump in his personal experience. Continuing onwards through the hallways twisting and turning to make it to his destination he would peer into a single class room where and instructor could be seen sitting down reading a small book. Stepping into the room Kenshin would speak softly but with much confidence in his tone "I am here to fix the training grounds" he said as the man slowly stood to shake his hand speaking back to him "Just head out and get to work on everything you see" the man said as he pointed him down the hall. Kenshin would slowly proceed outside where he would find himself looking upon a horrible sight. The fence surrounding the area was awful, paint and wood chipped away as well as small holes dug likely by small animals so they could get in and out easily. The equipment was in no better shape as from nearly ten meters away he could see the blades were dull, the targets were full of large holes and p;lenty were torn in half. Possible the worst of them all was a small space off in the corner that had large holes punched deep into the ground, the grass was brunt to a crisp and tools lay scattered about coated in dirt as if they were play things. A look of pure disappointment washed over his face as the images of the younger students he had known in his time in the academy were likely the ones using this space now and how they have been unable to keep its perfect order as he had done when he trained here. His memories now swaying to the instructor he had met inside would remind him the students were not the only ones to blame as the teachers were likewise being irresponsible with the space they had been given to train the future of the village in. With an audible sigh escaping his lips he would slowly walk away from the area heading back inside to a nearby storage closet where he would take a large amount of spare wood, paint, and sharpening stones.

Walking outside once again Kenshin would quickly drop all of his supplies except the spare wood he had grabbed and quickly went to work on the fence. Tearing away at rotten pieces of wood along the fence and making sure he had gotten rid of all ruined elements he would then begin with the repairs. Unsheathing his katana he would activate his sharingan, his iris turning crimson red as three tomoe emerged from his pupil he would stare at the holes in the fence for nearly a minute, using the memorization held within his sharingan eye to know the exact size and shape of wood that needed to be cut. Placing four large boards of wood in front of himself he would quickly begin cutting away at them with his blade creating perfect shapes to fit within the holes of the fence. Finishing within a few minutes he would quickly begin inserting the pieces as if it were a child's game and proceed inside to grab a solvent comparable to cement in its ability to hold pieces together and begin inserting the solvent within the tiny spaces he left between the new wooden pieces and the old fence to fill the holes perfectly and with no weakness left in its structure. Only have three large boards of wood left he felt it time to create a large amount of wooden targets for the students to use. Quickly cutting out several dozen one foot in diameter targets he would stack them neatly in piles of ten surrounding a large tree at the center of the field. Going to grab the paint brush and cans of paint he had brought out earlier he would begin quickly painting the fence a perfect shade of brown and proceed onwards to paint bulls eyes in the centers of each of the targets he had made. Next on his list would be the easiest task of all and one he was extremely familiar with, grabbing the sharpening stones he would quickly get to work accumulating every projectile within the area totaling at nearly one hundred stacked in a large pile beside where Kenshin now sat. Grabbing them one by one Kenshin would begin rubbing their sharp edges against the stong making sure to hold the kunai at the hilt and the flat side of the blade to exert enough pressure to actually shave away at the metal and make fine and very sharp edges. Moving onto the shuriken he would place his middle finger in the hole at the center to spin the shuriken to each of the four blades as he sharpened and used his index finger to put pressure on the blade itself just as he did with the kunai. Of course this would be the most long lasting task out of the bunch as sharpening all of the tools nearly took him an hour of constant work to complete and make sure the tools were all in perfect condition.

Moving towards the small corner that was used for sparring Kenshin would quickly look around at how it was in shambles. Having already picked out all of the blade earlier to be sharpened Kenshin would simply start by going inside to grab a large bag and head out to find nice piles of dirt around the village. After nearly ten minutes he would return with a full bag of dirt which he would use to fill all the holes in the dirt of the field and fill the holes underneath the fences. Unsheathing his katana he would then cut at the grass making sure to get just underneath the roots so that he could pull the large patch of charred grass from the ground in one large chunk to leave nothing but open soil in the corner. Throwing the grass into a large container outside for trash he would then proceed to pack the soil down with his bare hands to make a flat and compact area for battle. Now using the paint from earlier he would make a large white circle to signify where the combatants would fight in and with that done he had finished his job. Simply walking to the outside wall of the academy he would sit and wait for the students to arrive to see their reactions to his hard work. Actually dozing off for a few hours he would awake to the screams and shouts of children heading out for training and likely what they considered play time. Watching as the children rushed outside not even noticing him at first he would quickly leap to the rooftop to remain unnoticed as he watched their glee filled reaction to wait they could only assume was a whole new training field and equipment. A small grin forming on his face it was obvious he was now somewhat happy he had come here to help the children as he also was once within the same shoes as they are now. Walking along the roof and dropping down at the front he would simply walk away to report he had finished his duty and be granted his payment before any of the children even knew he was there he seemed to be in a slightly better mood as he set off back to his home to have lunch.
