Chapter 4
"SO let me get this straight…" A boy with a small dog on his head spoke up after recieving a scroll given to him by his sensei. "We just have to go to a workplace for a day?"
"That is correct Kiba." The red eyed jounin said nodding at her students.
"HAH! Piece of cake! Akamaru, we can do this mission with our eyes closed." The boy barked out grinning widely.
"Ku-Kurenai-sensei? How did T-Tsunade-sama decide on th-these j-jobs?" A timid brunette asked stuttering slightly at ever few words she spoke. Kurenai's gaze rested on the nervous girl causing her to flinch slightly. Kurenai's gaze softened.
"Tsunade-sama thought long and hard about where to place each genin ( -cough- yeah right –cough-). I have full confidence in all of you to complete these missions with out failure. So don't worry about it Hinata." Kurenai said softly.
Hinata blushed slightly and nodded before opening and reading her scroll. Hinata made a strange little sound as her eyes fell on her scroll.
"Oi…what's wrong Hinata?" Kiba asked walking over, with his own scroll unopened and clenched in his hand.
"I-it's just…" Hinata started.
Kiba took the scroll from her and read:
Name: Hyuuga Hinata

Tsunade's signature of approval:
(Insert Tsunade's signature)
"Aw man! That's a dull job…Ah you'll do fine. I bet our job is going to be awesome! Right Akamaru?" Kiba grinned looking up towards his companion.
Bark! Bark!
Kiba was about to open his scroll when he noticed Shino had gone rigid…wait a minute! Shino going rigid? That couldn't be a good sign!
"Sh-shino-kun? What's wr-wrong?" Hinata asked noticing Shino's strange (stranger then usual) behaviour.
"…"
"Your job can't be that bad…" Kiba muttered as he walked over and peered over Shino's shoulder. Kiba read the scroll:
Name: Aburame Shino
Team: 8
Occupation: Exterminator
Nakama for this mission: none
Location: Bug busters! North west Konoha drive
Mission Objective:
Help the citizens of Konoha deal with their pests problem
Time: 11:00 – 2:30

"Aw man…Shino…that totally sucks for you man…" Kiba says placing his hand on Shino's shoulder.
"…"
"I-I'm sure you-you'll do fine Shino-kun…Maybe you won't h-have to d-do anything. I do-don't think many people i-in Konoha ha-have pest problems…" Hinata said trying to get a reaction out of Shino.
"…I suppose…" Was all Shino said before walking away from his team.
It was almost 10:00 anyway. It would take Shino almost half an hour to get to the north west part of Konoha anyway.
"Well Akamaru. Let's see what we got." Kiba said grinning broadly as he opened his scroll.
As soon as Kiba read the first part his face fell and his happy expression was replaced by rage and horror.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!" He bellowed dropping his scroll like it was something disgusting.
Hinata looked at the open scroll on the ground and read:
Name: Inuzuka Kiba
Team: 8
Occupation: Taxidermist (1)
Nakama for this mission: none
Mission Objective:
Help Konoha's resident Taxidermist with his annual sale
Time: 10:30 – 4:00
Tsunade's signature of approval:

Akamaru whimpered and jumped in to Kiba's jacket.
Hinata was just speechless.
"Ki-Kiba-kun?" She asked uncertainly.
"This is probably the stupidest mission ever." Kiba muttered darkly glaring at the scroll.
Hinata couldn't think of any comforting words to say to him.
"G-good luck Kiba-kun, b-but I have to g-go…" Hinata said timidly before turning and leaving the area.
"Kiba." Kurenai said turning to her angry pupil.
"Yes Kurenai-sensei…" Kiba muttered finally tearing his eyes away from the scroll.
"You better go or you'll be late." Kurenai said sternly, but her eyes held a sense of remorse for her disgruntled student.
"fine…" Kiba said shoving his hands in his pockets.
Akamaru whined again and nuzzled Kiba's chin.
"Don't worry Akamaru…we'll figure something out." Kiba said before walking off.
Kurenai picked up Kiba's scroll, and read it before she shook her head.
"Hokage-sama…what were you thinking?" Kurenai said sighing. "The jobs aren't bad…but couldn't you have mixed them up a little?" Kurenai asked herself before walking towards the village. Kurenai was also very interested in knowing what her fellow jounin's had to say about the genin's missions.
(1) Taxidermist: Hunters usually bring their 'prize' to a taxidermist; who is the person who stuffs and preserves dead animals.
A/N: It's kind of scary because I did this career matchmaker survey and my number 1 job was a taxidermist…I was so devastated. I love animals! FUR IS MURDER! I'm such a hippie…
I think this is one of my quickest updates yet! Now that everyone has been assigned a job...the fun begins! Hopefully the next chapter will be out just after New years or even before if I get a chance to write it. So thanks for reading!
Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes.

Yarochisai: LOL! I wouldn't worry about the kids too much. Gaara will definitely have his moment…-evil grin- As well as Sasuke…-evil cackle- . you'll find out soon. Yeah I couldn't think of a job Shikamaru would be horrible at, and I couldn't help but give him a job he probably would fail miserably at . Oh and Nakama means something like 'companion' or 'team mate' or 'buddy' it's something along those lines. Thank you for reviewing!
aya-is-insane: -looks at last chapter- Oopsmy bad.Thanks for pointing that out!
Thanks for all your reviews! SQUUEEEE (my excited sound) they make me so happy. Therefore when I'm happy I'm motivated (Shikamaru mode gets turned off) So don't hesitate to review, but DON'T flame me (I'm sensitive…)
