Cam Yakoshi
Chapter 15 "Separate Ways"
Cam was walking down the streets of Konoha towards the Hokage's Office for his new mission. He had now acquired his sword and had it in a sheath on his back. "I wonder if the Hokage is going to give us a D-ranked mission. We completed our last mission, but we had a hard time though." he thought as he usually does. A few minutes later he walked into the Hoakge's Office were the rest of Squad 4 was waiting.
"You're late." Jun pointed out.
"Don't even start you two." Boruto intervened, in a stern voice, before Cam could respond. He was leaning against a wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
"How are you feeling, Cam?" Kira asked politely.
"I feel great!" Cam replied.
"That is good because I am putting you on a separate mission without your squad." Tsunade said.
"What? Seriously?" Cam asked surprised.
"Boruto told me about how you did and I want to see how you do without your squad." Tsunade answered.
"Who will be our replacement for Cam then?" Kira asked.
"It should not be hard to find one. A rabid monkey with a kunai would be just as good." Jun said.
"I heard that!" Cam yelled angrily.
"Maybe a little time away from each other would help them appreciate each other more." Boruto thought listening to his squad.
"Your replacement should be here by now." Tsunade answered. Right after she said that, a young boy around the same age and Cam came running into the room. The boy had black hair that spiked down to about chin level, and his eyes were jet black. He wore a white shirt with black pants that reached down to his ankles, and at the bottom were a pair of black sandals on his feet.
"Sorry I'm late." he said when he stopped near Jun.
"Perfect timing. Jun and Kira, this is David. He is Cam's replacement on this mission." Tsunade said.
"Hey!" David said as he turned to see his temporary teammates.
"He is late just like how Cam always is. Maybe we did get a monkey." Jun thought as he looked at David.
"I guess it's time for me to go." Boruto said as he stood up straight and uncrossed his arms.
"Where are you going?" Kira asked.
"I gave Boruto a separate mission." Tsunade answered.
"Good luck." Boruto said as he opened his eyes and made a hand sign. He then poofed away.
"So then that means that we are moving as a three-man squad." Kira pointed out.
"Yes, you, Jun, and David are going to the Land of Lightning to investigate a legend among the people of the village, Yoshimi." Tsuande said assigning them the mission.
"What do you mean a legend?" David asked a little confused.
"The villagers believe that a legend that they have is true and a fearful of it." Tsunade answered. She took a short pause and continued, "The legend is that every night during their Obon Festival a creature appears and takes the first people it sees no matter where they are. People in that village have been starting to disappear, and some of the villagers claim to have seen the creature. I don't believe in this myth myself, but the villagers do."
"So you want us to go and get rid of this creature or whatever it is that causing these people to disappear? Doesn't sound too hard." Jun said.
"To me this creature sounds frightening." Kira said.
"I don't care if you it's real or not or if it scares you. Just do your mission." Tsunade responded.
"This mission is going to be a piece of cake!" David said with excitement.
"I am with the monkey on this one." Jun followed up.
"What did you say?!" David responded.
"It seems that Jun has successfully ticked someone else off." Cam thought.
"Cam, your mission is to go to the Land of Tea and stop a group of bandits from terrorizing the village, Nyucha." Tsunade said assigning Cam's mission.
"Alright! Time for my first solo mission!" Cam said happily.
"It's not a solo mission." Tsunade said. Upon hearing this, Cam's spirit lowered.
"You will be assisted by a Jonin." Tsunade continued.
"I knew you could not get a solo mission!" Jun said with a mocking tone.
"At least I am going on a mission without my squad!" Cam blurted out without thinking. It was silent for about ten seconds. "That came out wrong." Cam said now realizing what he had said.
"You idiot." Jun replied.
David scooted over to Kira. "Is this how they always are?" he whispered in her ear.
"Pretty much." Kira whispered back.
Tsunade slammed her hands on her desk making a large booming sound. "Stop your arguing! Go do your missions! David you are in charge of your mission." she ordered.
"Why is the monkey in charge?" Jun asked.
"Why do keep calling me that?" David asked irritated.
"Because he has more experience as a ninja!" Tsuande shouted.
"Every time I walk in here, she scares me." Cam thought.
"I have never met anyone so scary." Kira thought feeling the same way as Cam.
Cam's brained seemed to finally kick in and he asked, "Hey, where's my Jonin?"
Tsunade sat back down in her chair, a little more calm. "He is on his way to Nyucha." she answered.
"He already left?" Cam asked.
"You have problem with that." Tsuande said with a stern look on her face.
"No! No, of course not." Cam quickly responded trying to not get her angrier.
"Good! Now go!" Tsunade ordered. Cam, Jun, Kira, and David left the Hokage's Office as Cam thought, "Man, how did SHE become Hokage."
