Task: In the children's section of the hospital there is a weekly visit planned from Poof the clown. But unfortunately Poof has a broken leg and cannot be with the children today, perfect job for a Genin to do.


It was a regular day for Ritsuko. Nothing much happening within the village, landing on the ground she walked around. Seeing him talk about some clown.

"Help poof the clown, help the children!" He shouted towards the bystanders. Curiously she walked towards him and asked.

"Who is Poof the clown?" She asked with an eyebrow raised followed by picking her ear.

"You never heard of Poof the clown? Why he's the most cheerful person in the whole village. The man would adjust his clothing before looking back at Ritsuko with a smile on his face. "He always make sure everyone leaves with both a smile and laugh on their face"

What happened to him?She looked at him with an eyebrow raised, taking off her scarf for breathing room.

"Well he broke his leg, from an accident. At the hospital, he was supposed to entertain some children. Will you take over for him?" He said looking at Ritsuko, she took a bit to think about it. Children did need entertainment and wouldn't be right to leave them behind.

"I mean, if its for the children I guess so."

"Good! You'll need to wear this outfit." He pulled out something from the closet, showing her a clown suit complete with a red noise, fluffy hair, and tricks for the children to enjoy.

"Its..wonderful." she put on a fake smile 

There's a children section of the hospital, the nurses should lead you there. Oh and one other thing, they love jokes!


I-I'm his replacement! Goof the clown.[/color]

You better be good. One of the children had a rather pissy demeanor, his hair a silver grey and body type of a normal child. Eyes silver almost like their supposed parents.

008B"You little smart..." she wanted to curse the kid out but that'd be both intolerable and pathetic for someone to be rouded by a small kid. [color=#00008B]"Ahem. "What do you call a fly without wings? A walk!" Most of the children just sat their in silence, not a single laugh or chuckle were in the room. Well except that one kid in the back. I get the joke! Good one.

"This is harder than I thought.." she would look at her notes and see the "flower trick" supposedly used a paper bomb. So taking out a paper bomb she lit it up, and apparently at the right time use it with ones fingers to pull out flowers. 

Accidently dropping it a kid tried got their hands on it."Hey hey! No your not supposed to touch that! She took the paper bomb from the child and sighed heavily. 


The paper bomb exploded in her face. A small puff a smoke erupted on her face, only for it to clear. Her entire clown getup covered in smoke and debris, the children laughed at her forthcomings

"Maybe I can use this to my advantage" smiling, she did a compilation of trick each one being worse than the last. It gotten to the point to where her outfit got torn by a animal. Why he has an animal as part of the trick? She didn't wanna know, thankfully the cat was nice to the children.

"Say goodbye to goof the clown children" One of the nurses gave Ritsuko a handshake thanking her for efforts.

"Bye goof the clown." All the children said in unison. Ritsuko would wave at all the children before leaving the hospital. The children were satisfied, at least she hoped given her atrocious performance. Regardless, she'd probably have to pay the clown a visit to tell her story of what happened. Maybe he'll laugh and smile?
