Coming back out onto the street he looked back over his mission papers once again and found his next mission.
Clean the Apartment
Mission Rank: D
Information: Mister Matsumoto needs help cleaning his apartment. He hired ninja to help her/him clean the house
How-To-Do: Post at least 3 times on what you cleaned at the house/apartment.
Vincent saw that the address to the house was just up the street. The place was more like an apartment complex where there were several buildings spread out around a central pool. In each building there were eight apartments. Vincent came up to the apartment that was listed on the address and he knocked.
Opening the door was a fairly old man who was getting on in his years.
“Are you the cleaning guy?” The old man asked.
“Yes, I am that person.” Vincent said.
“Good thing you arrived. I was on my way out. What I need you to do is the whole thing, vacuum, mop, dust, and bathroom if you would. I’ll be back in a few hours. If you’re done before then be sure to lock up.”
“I will,” Vincent said as the old man put on his hat and headed out.
It seemed oddly funny to Vincent how this old man was acting so casually even though just a few weeks ago this whole place was nothing but rubble and debris.
Vincent came into the apartment and was amazed by the mess he had seen. There were newspapers, scattered everywhere, clothes all over the floor, and so on. It made him think that the apartment belonged to a sloppy teenager rather than an elderly man.
He took off his coat and forehead protector and started to work.
First with the dusting and straightening up. Putting the clothes into a hamper and the newspapers into the recycle bin, after that he opened up the windows and began to air out the room.

With the windows opened and the room being somewhat aired out, Vincent went on with the dusting of the room. He would have vacuumed first but then the dusting would have led to more vacuuming itself. So by that logical order he dusted first to get the dust off of the furnature and into the air that way when it settled then the vacuum would take care of the rest.
He was right after he had vacuumed the dust seemed to be non-existent. But then there was another beast to tackle. The bathroom. The moment that Vincent had walked in he could feel a very palpable gag reach into his throat. The bathroom was an absolute mess. The toilet had that thin brown layer within the bowel, the mirror was dusted and caked on with whatever had been splattered onto it that it was difficult to see his own reflection, and then there was the matter of the horrid state of the shower/tub.
Vincent only shrugged when he said to himself, “A mission is a mission.”
Rolling up his sleeves he began to work the mirror, then the skin, and the countertop around the skin. Next was the shower which had started to develop a pink kind of residue around the bottom and around its edges. With a sponge and the right kind of product the stuff was easy to clean up.
Next was the kitchen.

The kitchen was just as bad as the bathroom, food caked on the stove, the sink piled up with dirty dishes, and the tile as sticky as a movie theater’s floor. Once again, Vincent went to work, first with the dishes in the skin, carefully cleaning them and putting them aside, next was the countertops, especially the food-caked stove, and finally the floor where he mopped it up with both the greatest care and the most that his muscles could give to it.
After it was all over the apartment smelled fresh and renewed. He had a good feeling that the tenant would be very pleased with the results of it. He put away the cleaning products, pushed back the sleeves of his shirt, slipped on his cloak and his forehead protector and headed back out.
As he was coming out he saw the old man again.
“You must have done a good job if it took you this long,” The old man said.
“I hope you like what I’ve done there, then.” Vincent smiled.
“I’m sure I will.”

Back on the Main Street of the Leaf Vincent once again looked through the mission postings that he had gotten.
Work around the Hotsprings
Mission Rank: D
Information: The owner of the hotsprings need help repairing the fences and cleaning up.
How-To-Do: Post atleast 3 times on what you repaired or cleaned at the hotsprings.
“Hmmm, the hot springs sounds nice.” Vincent thought to himself and headed over to the next job.

Vincent had lost sight of Zin but he knew that he was coming this way and he had to stop him from doing something foolish or doing something that he would regret.
"Zin!" he called, and then a little louder, "ZIIIIIIIIN!"

 The young child as ontop of one of his favorite buildings as it was the second highest compared to the Hokage's. History had it were it served as a look-out tower but....the changed it into a regular residential area. He sat on the railing,little feet lightly swaying as his midnight hair swayed with the constant breeze that seemed to flow at the height he choose to sit. Milkshake on one side,gummi's on the other as he was lost in his mind;it should as the gummi wrapper hadn't been attacked and the milkshake was completely filled. Nagi tried to snap his master out of his mind-coma as he heard Vincent's call but Zin couldn't help but to think:
How long where they going to hide everything from me? Kusanagi Sword....Tojiro...The real essence of the Naga;or is that even my clan. I can manipulate snakes.....I....have a nack for learning things faster but these dreams......Always show me more. A man with silver hair,standing behind a man that looks like me,and another that stands behind him. They all say something but it's like I can never hear them. I sleep more to try and capture their voices but....I always become lost and can't comprehend the words. I....just don't know.....
Zin shook his head and continued to look forwards as his slitted eyes looked out into the distance to see the Main gates. As whatever it was......Zin would hear those voices in Otogakure. Or at least in the Rice Country. It was said he 'owned' the land of it."I just dunno Nagi."Zin said softly as he patted his serpant lightly that hissed back.

Vincent found Zin sitting atop one of the second highest buildings compared to everything else in Konohakagure. Vincent leaped onto the the different landings and overhangs to go up to where Zin was.
"Are you alright, Zin?" Vincent asked with the genuine concern of his teammate.

[Lol blaugh ]
Zin didn't turn around immediately until he felt the light bite of Nagi and snapped to his senses."O....Oh....."He turned around and smiled,though it was fake. There was definately something wrong but masking his feelings was alot easier even to those he had bonds with,"Vincent-san......Yes...Just enjoying my milkshake and gummi's. You know...the usual!"Zin said smiling his fanged smile to assure him that he was alright in which Zin picked up his gummi's and openned up the package to make sure he would deploy the act of his usual personality."H-How are you and Hiniko-chan?"

Vincent approached Zin and placed a hand on his shoulder in the same way that he did with Hiniko. The same way that gave that silent consent to the other to spill any secrets that they want to the other. A comforting touch that would let the other know that things were alright.
"I know something's wrong, Zin." Vincent said, "I'm here as your teammate."

Zin felt the hand but he wouldn't spill the beans. He had to contain what he needed to do. He wanted to know the truth about his father;he was great and shouldn't be feared! And if so.......then it was for a good reason! "No....Everything is......Quite fine....I was...actually thinking about having a party...You know. Just Hiniko,you and me. A party of teamates yes?"He said brightly as his little feet continued to sway. Zin also couldn't endanger his companions by bringing them along. To be honest he was rather scared to go by himself and was relieved the hokage agreed to accompany him. But Zin was determined for the move he unlocked within the night of the three weeks showed......that there was a diffrence in Zin and it wasn't because of his Clan.There was a Kekkei Genkai within the Naga clan. His father wrote it in his notes but the rest was ripped out. The mystery must no longer haunt his dreams and livelyhood.

Vincent came around and sat down in front of Zin, placing his hands on both shoulders of his teammate and looking into his slitted eyes. People may have feared Zin for how he looked but Vincent could see something else. Maybe it was a diluted form of the Sharingan that allowed him to see people when they were in trouble. Or maybe it was his "capacity for love" as his mother called it.
Whatever it was he knew that Zin couldn't keep the secret to himself otherwise it would just drive him to madness. He needed to be there for Zin in the same way that he wanted to be there for Hiniko when that one thing was bothering her. He was sure that if Zin allowed whatever was welling within him to flow into Vincent then all would be well.
At least that's what Vincent was hoping within himself.
"Zin..." Vincent said softly, "There's no need to hide anymore."

Zin remained silent to the words and shook his head. Though Zin surpressed his emotions he felt something warm stroll down his cheek as he blinked and touched his cheek. Tears........They feel....weird. But Zin kept his emotions held and didn't let another fall as he smiled looking to his swaying feet,"I'm just making closure of my father.....Soon...I'll know the truth. Matsuya-sama is helping me. Then I can return to Konoha with a peace of heart."Zin said softly as he looked to his gummi bag,not eating them but he did start to pick at them now.

Zin closed his eyes and smiled happily,"Orochimaru.....The greatest Sanin ever."He said softly as there was much pride in his voice. Zin believed his father was powerful and though he couldn't bring him back but Zin could at least complete his work.

"Orochimaru?" Vincent asked, "Heh, seems we both have ancestors of a notorious nature. You with your father, and I with my clan of the Uchiha."
