New Friend and a Mission [OPEN]

Mission 1:

Kuro arrived at the designated meeting point. He was given orders to meet here for some C-ranked missions today, he was being assigned a partner to aid in his first higher ranked missions. It was common for the more inexperienced shinobi to be assigned to teams, but something this temporary such as a partnership was somewhat unusual. Either way, he was in his normal outfit, his white button up shirt, with the black jacket over it. His white hair shaggy and not styled in any way hung almost over his pink eyes. He simply sat on a bench holding the mission scroll waiting for whoever it was that was supposed to meet him there. He wasn't a huge fan of having to work on a team, but he would do whatever he had to in order to accomplish his mission.

Kuro watched as someone approached him from a nearby rooftop. It would appear that he was in fact misreading the mission he had gotten, and in fact, he was to be the senpai on this mission. He gave the one approaching him a once over before standing. The boy looked just a little bit younger than he was, but it didn't make much of a difference in these times. Shinobi often varied in age. Regardless, he would approach the boy. "I am Kuro, I will be leading this mission I suppose. I presume you are familiar with the mission parameters?" It was important to establish a baseline of information. He would need to make sure this kid was on the same wavelength as he was so that they could function as a proper team.

Kuro was satisfied with the non-verbal response. Being one who did not speak much himself, he could respect a fellow introvert. But, it was his role to lead the mission, and given the follow-up question, it would seem that he was the one who would need to come up with their plan of battle. He thought for a moment, he didn't know much about his new partner's skills, but he knew that he, himself, didn't have many skills outside of what was taught at the academy. So, realistically, the two of them should be counted as fairly weak, not taking into account brute physical strength. "I suppose that we should take a direct approach, since i'm not sure of your skills, and I have no skills outside of some basic level taijutsu. Just, make sure that we avoid damaging any of the shops wares." It was a simple plan, but to go against untrained thugs, it wouldn't take much more than someone of their current level to deal with them. He would motion towards the shop in a manner to say, 'I'll follow your lead.'

Kuro watched the battle as it started, it would seem that his ally was rather crafty. Well, Kuro wasn't nearly as cunning at using jutsu and the like as is ally, so he went straight for the taijutsu approach. Rushing in through the now open door and taking advantage of the three now distracted thugs, he would jump into the air and deliver a spinning roundhouse to the first thug he approached, hitting him right on the side of the head. The second thug seemed to take notice and decided to split up two thugs per one ninja, should make it easy enough, right? The thug raised his hand to punch the kid who had just knocked his buddy to the ground, only to find the kid was now behind him, and then under him, delivering a sweeping kick, knocking him off his feet as well. He then found a chop directly in his throat, causing breathing to become increasingly difficult. He hoped his allies were faring better than he.

Once Kuro had dealt with his two thugs, he would turn to see how his partner was coming along. Seeing the acrobatic maneuver to save the vase from breaking, Kuro would rush to his partners defense, he had dealt some damage to the hulking thug, but he didn't seem to have the strength to pull off a full on knock out. But, Kuro had the advantage here. He rushed forwards, his goal a quick incapacitation on the distracted thug. Rushing in, he would preform a sweeping low kick to bring the thugs feet out from under him. When his head hit the ground, Kuro finished up with slamming his heel into the thugs throat to put him down. Walking over to his partner to check on his welfare. "Are you alright? I didn't expect these thugs to be so large." He had to admit they were even large for him. "I suppose we can go turn in this mission now, if you wish." It was a rather simple mission, but simple didn't always mean easy.
