The task was to do jobs and damnit, Sumika was going to do a job. The most obvious choice was working with metal, of course, and so Sumika was in the forge today. At the moment, she was prepping for the forge owner to get ready for the day. [ 1 / 3 ] The girl spend some time straightening things as best she could. The shelves weren't too terribly hard, except for the one she couldn't reach. She, well, she managed back in the forge was about as much as she could say.
[ Preparation | Rank D | Posts 2/3 ]

Sumika couldn't say she was a huge fan of the process behind helping the forge. Talking to people was never really her strong point, nor was keeping track of a chaotic situation, and today was just that. Not only was the forge busy, but rumors of a thief made things extra stressful.[ 1 / 4 ] Not that the determined little shinobi would let that slow her down much. Still, it was rather hectic and she spent most of her day just trying to keep from losing her head. One could only mange so many requests of the top of their head, and she regularly had two or three people asking her for stuff at the same time.[ 2 / 4 ] A few people even bugged her about why she couldn't do things like hammer out some nails after the forge ran out. It didn't seem to register with these people, frantically huddled into the small space trying to get started on rebuilding, that Sumika would be a liability back there.[ 3 / 4 ] With her compulsions, the girl was nearly guaranteed to get mad and accidentally dust some important chunk of metal. Maybe it'd be some ornate garbage, or maybe it'd be a weapon. Either way, you didn't really want this particular genin in the forge on a busy day and absent any experience.[ 4 / 4 ]
[ Assistance | Rank D | Complete ]

Eventually things settled down, and it was time to close out the day. Counting money, organizing drawers and crates, counting stock. For the most part Sumika did the latter, since simply tallying things was extra simple. Though the building hadn't burned down while she was in it, so the day couldn't exactly be called a failure.
[ Preparation | Rank D | Complete ]

Sumika was about to walk out the door when the shop's owner shoved a list into her hands. It would appear that the shop was quite low on supplies. The result was that she'd need to head off to other forges in the vicinity and get more.[ 1 / 3 ] First up on the list was raw iron stock, not especially hard to find. Around the Sumika wandered off around the corner and into another forge. Pretty simple really. A rather awkward conversation later and the purchase was secured.[ 2 / 3 ] Luckily for Sumika, she also possessed an easy method of transporting the materials. Most would have struggle, but the pallet of ingots simply levitated with a flick of her hand. A few minutes later and she was back at the forge, dropping off her first supply run.[ 3 / 3 ]
[ Gofer | Rank D | Complete ]

One task down, one to go. The next item on the list was, of all things, a hammer. It would appear that the smith of the forge had broken his during the chaos and required another.[ 1 / 3 ] This too proved no matter, though Sumika simply acquired it from a nearby shop. It was certainly a less taxing task than the last, even if that hadn't be as hard as it initially seemed. She paid for it out of her own pocket and shoved it into her pocket before heading out.[ 2 / 3 ] On the way to her next task the girl allowed herself the luxury of a little daydreaming. Imagining her own forge, tucked away somewhere other than this hustle and bustle. Maybe in the mountains, or somewhere on on island, or both even.[ 3 / 3 ]
[ Gofer | Rank D | Complete ]

Let's see, what was next? Hmm, well, the owner of the shop wanted some coal for his forge. That seemed like a good place to start.[ 1 / 3 ] Only problem was, aside from mining it herself, Sumika had no clue where to find it. A cursory search of the surrounding market, however, yielded a result, but not from a forge. Instead it was from a standard retailer, who hadn't needed to keep shoveling it all day to stay in business.[ 2 / 3 ] Getting the materials back was a bit of a different story, however.
Despite her ingenuity, there wasn't really a way around this aside from pushing the damn cart back across the market. An arduous task, to be sure, but one that ultimately needed to be done.[ 3 / 3 ]
[ Gofer | Rank D | Complete ]

Well, that was done with. Next on the list was... oil. Well, that would probably be easier at least.[ 1 / 3 ] Oil for quenching, that was bound to be back at the other forge. Sure enough, a short conversation and an exchange of funds later, Sumika had oil. Well, to be more specific, her puppet had oil.[ 2 / 3 ] It was a combat model and so far all she'd done was carry things with it. Oh well, at least she got some experience manipulating it. With the barrel set in back of the forge the genin was halfway done with her task list.[ 3 / 3 ]
[ Gofer | Rank D | Complete ]

Next up was a few assorted scrap metals. This one would be easy as cake, as a lot of shops kept scraps around that they sold for a small fee. And so Sumika was off again, looking for random assortments to replenish the shop's stock.[ 1 / 3 ] One stop after another, the girl's pile of metal increase, all of them magnetized to her puppet for easy carrying. She managed quite the precarious looking stack before turning around.[ 2 / 3 ] The metal fell with a clang and Sumika set about sorting it as soon as she got back to the shop. It was a simple task, but hopefully it'd earn her some cred in the process. She'd like nothing more than to get to work actually smithing things. [ 3 / 3 ]
[ Gofer | Rank D | Complete ]

There wasn't too much left, but the rest were all rare metals. The first one the list was the most iconic, gold. Not a lot, a few bars, but it'd serve for what little this forge used it for.[ 1 / 3 ] The search, however, proved to be harder than most of the rest. It wasn't that gold was terribly hard to find; in fact, most of the other shops had some. It was about whether or not they were willing to part with it.[ 2 / 3 ] Somehow, just as she was about to give up, the girl succeeded in annoying another smith to part with some of his gold stash. Not exactly a tactful approach, but hey, she had what she needed. Rare metal in tow, the girl headed back to the forge.[ 3 / 3 ]
[ Gofer | Rank D | Complete ]

Platinum was next, and sure to be even harder. Except that the owner had actually thought ahead and ordered this one. Thank the deities if they did, indeed, exist.[ 1 / 3 ] The trek was all the way across the market though. Not a painful experience in its own right, but not a fun one. Things were hectic as the day came to a close and the little puppeteer was nearly stepped on or squashed half a dozen times.[ 2 / 3 ] The trip back wasn't much better, as she literally got knocked into a stall. If it weren't for her magnetic personality, she'd have never found her damn metal again. That said, she'd completed it at least so there wasn't really anything to complain about, bruises included. [ 3 / 3 ]
[ Gofer | Rank D | Complete ]

The last thing was... wait, this couldn't be right. It was a pastrami sandwich. What in the actual hell? When did this become about delivering food.[ 1 / 3 ] Oh well, it was the last thing, and easy enough to find. The sandwich cart was right on the corner outside the shop by now, and she had an inkling that there was a reason for that beyond a route. Two sandwiches ordered, and one delivered.[ 2 / 3 ] The girl hopped her way up onto the counter, stuffing her face has her legs bounced. It'd been a good day. Slightly boring, a little tedious, but good nonetheless. [ 3 / 3 ]

Yato moved through the area and over to where the weapon was on the wall. But smelled something odd and looked down toward the ground. It was a drop or two of blood upon the marble floor of the building. She deduced that the individual had to of accidentally cut himself walking off with the weapon. Yato took in the scent and followed the scent to the owner with Minako right on her tail. [exit]

Kya plopped in, bought some s**t, and she left.

[Chakra steel weapon large x2: Nodachi + Scythe 1200, 2 sets of smoke bombs 400]

Posted: Sat Jan 06, 2018 7:12 pm

When Minako was moving through the area to get her initial issue of items she was quickly yanked by her wrist. Her eyes widened as she was pulled into one of the many open shops in the area as an older man addressed her. "Right on time young one." He spoke while smiling at her causing a great deal of confusion as she looked to him. "I don't think I'm who you're looking for." She said to the man as he began to direct her around the shop to his tools motioning for her to start laying them all out.
[1/3 Preparation]

She bit her lip as she went around from table to table placing the tools out for the elderly man to grab. "You're exactly whom I've been looking for." He stated with a loud cough as he pointed over to the wool piles. "Bring those over here please." He requested of her as he sat down at his spot. Minako did as she was told and moved the piles of wool over to the elder. She didn't have the heart to simply leave him alone without help.
[2/3 Preparation]

"Alright you can stop now." The elder instructed of her and she moved to his side instantly. She was going to stay here with the elder until he was set for the day. She couldn't simply abandon him as he needed help within his shop. She briefly asked herself why he had no one to help him within his store in the first place. "Hand me that tool right there." His long pale finger pointed over to a crochet needle.
[1/4 Assistance]

She eagerly moved to the tool and grabbed it within her delicate hands. As she handed him the tool he felt her hand briefly and chuckled. "Little one your hands are going to get rough from this work. Fair warning." He said as he adjusted his glasses and began to work on the wool in front of him. Slowly winding it up creating something.
[2/4 Assistance]

She nodded in understanding as she didn't care about that. The elder seemed so old and frail with a majestically long and well groomed beard. She had to help him as she couldn't bear the guilt of leaving him. "Mind grabbing me a glass of milk?" He asked of Minako and she spotted the fridge in the corner of the room. Rushing to it like her life depended on it she poured him a glass almost to the rim and brought it back to his side.
[3/4 Assistance]

When she returned she was amazed as she placed the glass on the table down next to him. In the span of a few moments he made a sweater from a section of wool. She had only been gone for a brief moment and he went through it in a flash. The elder chuckled at her expression as he adjusted his glasses and took a sip of his milk.
[4/4 Assistance]

"You're going to be my apprentice young lady. You're kind and full of passion. All tailors need passion and kindness." He stated as she nodded in understanding to him. "As my apprentice I will teach you the right way not the easy way to do everything. Never go against my teachings do you understand?" The elder asked of her and Minako nodded once more as he quickly asked her to sweep up the scraps real quick. Eagerly grabbing a broom she did just that and swept it all up into a pile in the corner of the room as she knew they were going to be there for a while.
[3/3 Preparation]

When she finished with sweeping of the wool she went back to the work table. Cleaning it up as well while moving the tools to their respective locations. Minako was a creature of habit and saw things in black and white. Under this man's instructions she would flourish. As the elder finished his glass of milk Minako didn't hesitate.
[1/3 Preparation]

She took the glass from the elder and filled it back up. Knowing that this was going to be a long day for the two of them. Or so she believed given the situation as he was going to start teaching her. As always Minako was an eager student who thrived in education, whether traditional or apprenticeship. "Thank you young one." The elder said to her as he watched the first customer enter the building.
[2/3 Preparation]

The customer was a mother with her little girl and Minako just wanted to pick the adorable girl up and hug her. She was so adorable how she was shyly hiding behind her mother as her mother was merely smiling the entire time. "Tell the elder what you would like to try and have made." The mother encouraged her daughter and the little girl hesitated. The elder saw what was wrong and Minako did at the same time as well.
[1/4 Assistance]

Instead Minako knelt down in front of the little girl smiling as the elder waited to hear what they wanted. "What can we make for you?" Minako asked as her voice sounded like it belonged to an angel. The little girl bit her lip and was clinging to her teddy bear as if her life depended on it. But Minako had a secret weapon on everyone in the village. Her large bright eyes melted the hearts of almost everyone who she spoke with.
[2/4 Assistance]

The little girl finally gathered the courage to speak with Minako. "May... May I have a giant teddy bear to protect terry?" She asked and Minako smiled beautifully. "You certainly may little one." She spoke once more sounding like an angel. The elder sat at the table and adjusted his beard out of his way. Fixing his glasses he put a large block of wool in front of him then looked back to the little girl. As if trying to size her compared to the wool.
[3/4 Assistance]

Once he was satisfied he began to work at the wool with the proper tools. Taking large chunks off at a time with ease. His expertise was showing as he did everything so effortlessly. Minako moved items out of his way and every once in a while wiped the wool scraps from the table to assist her sensei. It didn't take long for the horse to be finished and Minako placed it in front of the little girl.
[4/4 Assistance]

The little girl's eyes lit up as she was extremely excited about getting this bear. "Thank you so much!" She squealed in excitement causing her mother to laugh. Minako's sensei took another sip of his milk as he watched Minako. Moving from area to area cleaning and resetting everything. She was indeed learning quickly while under his wing.
[3/3 Preparation]

Moving over to the woolen beear Minako began to clean it so that would protect the wool. The little girl was so eager to try and ride it her mother kept pulling her back gently. "You need to let the wool dry little one." Minako instructed and she settled a bit. The little girl kept her eyes upon the woolen bear as if it was the only thing that mattered. Minako smiled as it was truly adorable.
[1/3 Preparation]

Minako left the bear alone so that it could dry out a bit as the little girl watched it with eager eyes. Minako moved to the table and began performing her duties organizing it a bit further. Making sure everything was to her sensei's liking. She still felt bad as she wondered how he did all this before she arrived. Something she was glad about at the same time as she had shown up.
[2/3 Preparation]

Another customer entered the shop and Minako moved over to him. Patting the little girl on the head before stopping in front of the new customer. "Hello how may we help you?" Minako asked and showed a brilliant smile to the man. The man cleared his throat but didn't even look at Minako but rather the elder.
[1/4 Assistance]

"Anything you need tell it to her." The elder ordered of the young man as he had clearly been rude. Minako's eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms across her chest. Clearly annoyed by how the young man was treating her. "Are you sure you can take good notes for what I need?" The man asked of Minako.
[2/4 Assistance]

She began to tap her finger impatiently on her arm as this man was getting her to reach her limit. She wouldn't snap on him in front of the little girl however. Her eye briefly twitched as he was getting to that point rather quickly. "I need a sweater made. One of mahogany colors of a rich variety." He said and that was all he stated.
[3/4 Assistance]

Just as she was about to speak the order to the elder he was already on it. Quickly cutting the wool into smaller pieces and assembling the thing quickly. She understood that she was meant to distract the man as the elder worked. Apparently the elder didn't care for him either. Something that made her smile a bit in reality.
[4/4 Assistance]

She went over to the sweater and placed it in front of the man. Quickly moving back to reset the elder's stage as she normally did. Wiping the tools down and providing the oils needed for his crafting. She truly found it remarkable how quickly the elder worked. As well as how beautiful his work was with how fast he turned out a product.
[3/3 Preparation]

The elder accidentally knocked over a few items from his table as he was stretching and Minako practically sprang into action. Moving for the tools she picked them up individually putting them back in their correct locations. As well as picking up the pieces of the shattered jar. "I'm sorry young one." The elder spoke but Minako only smiled to him as she was more than happy to help him in his time of need. After all he was teaching her what it was to be a woolsmith after all.
[1/3 Preparation]

The elder was about to grab some more milk until Minako took the glass from him. She sat him down at his table and moved over to the fridge herself. Pouring the elder another glass and smiling about the fact that this man loved milk. She couldn't help but smile about this little fact as she adored the elder. He was so sweet and adorable when working with Minako so far.
[2/3 Preparation]

Another customer came in with an order needing to be completed rather quickly. The rude customer left quietly with his sweater and the little girl and her mother followed suit. It didn't take long for the elder to begin talking to Minako about what was needed. Minako moved over to the table that he set up ready to help in any way possible. The elder sneezed violently and Minako quickly blessed the elder causing him to chuckle.
[1/4 Assistance]

The elder placed a puff of wool on the table and instructed Minako to hold it down. She did so without hesitation as her hands were calloused at this point. Grabbing the wool and using it didn't even bother her at this point. She held it firmly for her sensei as he began to craft the object that the customer wanted. She began to look at it curiously trying to figure out what they were making.
[2/4 Assistance]

Eventually she understood what she was making with her sensei. They were making a picture frame for a small clock for this customer. So she continued to watch her sensei as he performed every action with a delicate touch. She was completely fascinated with how he did everything. How much meticulous detail he put into everything.
[3/4 Assistance]

She continued on helping her sensei by holding the wool chunk down. Understanding that her role was vital to his very work as well. Something she was adoring as she wasn't used to feeling needed by anyone. This elder gave her another ray of light in her path that was doing nothing but helping her. Getting her mind straight as she was needed to become great.
[4/4 Assistance]

She moved over to the customer with the frame and gave it to the customer. The customer gave his thanks to both Minako and the elder causing her heart to fly. She wasn't used to such things as she had just joined the world as a shinobi recently. She giggled a bit as she moved back over to her sensei realizing he might need a bit more help. Smiling as the elder patted her gently on her head.
[3/3 Preparation]

She quickly moved back over to the table and began to straighten everything once more. She knew she was close to the end of the day as her sensei was showing signs of fatigue. She was going to try and learn as much as she could before he called it a day. She was a ball of joy as she was learning so much from this elder. So much knowledge was being bestowed upon her at this current moment.
[1/3 preparation]

It wouldn't take long for her to get to it as she moved over to the table. Quickly dusting the wool chips from the table. Then eventually into a big pile in the corner like before. Then she saw one last customer enter the building they were in. The elder yawned within his hand again.
[2/3 Preparation]

She was curious as to what could be the last task that they'd do. The customer brought in another young child. The child was the one who eagerly came up to Minako and began to pull on her hand. Demanding every ounce of her attention at this moment. She could only smile and kneel down to hear what he could possibly want.
[1/4 Assistance]

After all she adored children to no end and only wanted to make them smile. She was smiling her perfect smile and her angelic voice rang out to the child. She asked curiously as to what he wanted them to a make but he couldn't stop jumping up and down.Something that got another giggle out of Minako. She looked to the parent to try and figure out what the child wanted.
[2/4 Assistance]

Smiling back at Minako the parent waited on the child to calm down. Wanting them to learn a bit of how society works. Minako could respect that and in turn looked back to the child. "C-c-c-can you make me a headband." the child said stuttering a bit as he was nervous. Minako gently rubbed his head and nodded to the boy as she grabbed a piece of wool to work on.
[3/4 Assistance]

It didn't take long for the simple project to be finished. The hardest part was getting the tailoring right which the elder wasn't the greatest at. But he managed to complete the task easily enough. He handed the object to Minako as he walked over to the child and handed him the headband. "Thank you ma'am" He said and Minako took note of how respectful he was.
[4/4 Assistance]

"Young one, please clean up and come back at a later time" The elder requested and Minako did as he asked. Moving from area to area within the room cleaning everything up. Going so far as to packing up all the tools in their boxes. The last thing she did before she left was to sweep everything up in one pile. Then gather it all up within a dust pan before tossing it away.
[3/3 Preparation]

Minako came back about a few hours later to check up on the elder. It was something she was slightly concerned about. As the man had displayed a high level of fatigue earlier. "Enter young one and get the tools ready." The elder spoke firmly and she did as he asked. Unraveling the tools into their respective locations.
[1/2 Preparation]

A customer came into the building with them and Minako greeted them like the angel she was. Being warm and receptive she took their requests with ease. Understanding what they wanted down to the finest of details. As she did so the elder moved to his table and sat down with his signature glass of milk. Something that she was going to end up adoring him for.
[1/4 Assistance]

The customer tried to move to the elder to explain further but Minako cut him off quickly. She had to keep the customer away from her sensei as he had a lot to do after all. The customer gave Minako a dirty look but she gave him a beautiful smile in return. The customer could practically feel his heart melt at the sight of her smile.
[2/4 Assistance]

"Sorry." Was all the customer said and Minako held her smile as she guided him to the waiting area. She moved back to her sensei and watched as he placed a block of wool down on the table. "So what'd he want?" The elder asked and Minako Responded explaining about the woolen katana. The elder then put his glasses on and patted his student's back. Glad to have her return to help him out.
[3/4 Assistance]

The two got started on the large block of wool. Only this time Minako had a hammer and chisel and the elder was holding the wool. Telling her where to strike and just how hard to strike. Taking chunks off of the wool and finding the joy within this. A smile was lighting up her face as she was perfectly satisfied with this.
[4/4 Assistance]

Minako handed the wool katana to the customer and recieved his thanks. Practically bouncing as she moved through the area she started to sweep. She started her normal routine sweeping the entire floor then the table. Getting it all up in the same spot. Just before she reset the tools upon the table for her sensei.
[2/2 Preparation]

Minako moved back to the elder as he sat at the table and was snoozing slightly. She adored this man to no end as he was adorable. She began to rub his shoulders waking him up so that he could focus on work once more. He chuckled and patted her hand noting how sweet she was to him. Minako could only keep smiling as she was loving this.
[1/2 Preparation]

Yet another customer came in and Minako knew the drill all too well. Greeting the customer with her trademark infectious smile and her angelic voice she took the order. Prepared to write down any details for this customer. The customer was actually pretty happy with this turn of events. His eyes never left Minako as she went to her sensei.
[1/4 Assistance]

She began to go over the project with her sensei. Going over the dimensions as well as what they would need to do. The level of her knowledge was surely impressing her sensei. For the fact that just earlier today she had no clue about wool smithing. Such a feat was one to be proud of for sure.
[2/4 Assistance]

The elder knew how difficult it was for people to learn this smithing. But with Minako it seemed only natural to her as she had a creative mind. He could only smile as she practically led the project herself. The elder this time let her take the lead as she made all the measurements and decisions. She was a good student for sure.
[3/4 Assistance]

It didn't take long before the elder put another slab of wool on the table. She took to it without hesitation as she was to the point where she had an inkling of what she was doing. Once more taking off large chunks at a time to get the shape right. Before finally handling the fine details of the toy dagger. Possibly for a small child of the customer or something.
[4/4 Assistance]

Minako got up from the table and handed it over to the man. Smiling as she did so as she was used to this now. She went to the table and began dusting the wool dust and chips from it. Then sweeping it up into a pile before beginning to hum a tune. Something that the elder took note of as he couldn't help but smile.
[2/2 Preparation]

Minako looked over and saw a woman come in that seemed rather hesitant. Minako gave her, her space as she began to reset the tools. Eventually grabbing the wool block and placing it on the elder's table. Something that she was getting used to as well. As now things were just about repetition.
[1/2 Preparation]

The woman continued with her hesitation and made a move to go to the elder. Instead Minako walked in front of her past with a large smile upon her face. "How may we help you?" Minako asked of the customer. The customer's heart melted with how warm and bubbly Minako was at this moment. The customer smiled as she was finally warming up to the young girl.
[1/4 Assistance]

The woman held her smile and began to speak to Minako. Telling her what she wanted and it sounded like an elegant project. One that might be a bit out of her league. Yet Minako wasn't about to let a challenge go away. She was going to take it head on.
[2/4 Assistance]

The woman sat down and waited patiently for the project to start and finish. Which was something that Minako was most appreciative of. Most of the time the customers were antsy and just wanted their product. Not this woman as she apparently understood that patience is a virtue. One that was well rewarded of course.
[3/4 Assistance]

It didn't take long for the elder to dive into the project. Slowly working at the wool once more like normal. Minako smiled as she watched his attention to detail yet again. Noting that her sensei was never satisfied with doing things sub par. He always had to perfect his projects.
[4/4 Assistance]

Minako began to do the same actions as normal. She was brushing the wool chips from the table onto the floor. She reset the tools as she grabbed the broom. Quickly sweeping everything up into the normal pile. She then put the broom back up.
[2/2 Preparation]

Minako was getting her own rhythm going within the shop. Getting used to what was expected of her as well as what was needed of her. Something that she was surely appreciative of at this moment. She was glad she was finally of use to someone other than just her kage. That she was also developing a talent.
[1/2 Preparation]

She waited on a customer to enter the building but none entered immediately. It slightly concerned her at this time as normally they were booming in. Such a thing took Minako off guard as she wasn't used to this. Instead she put a wool block on the table and looked to her sensei. Wanting to make something anyway regardless of the customers.
[1/4 Assistance]

She debated on whta to make for a while as her sensei approached her. Curious as to what she was going to try and accomplish. He smiled when something came to his mind as he wanted to test her. "Make a tulip." He spoke to her asking for a job of her. Minako's eyes lit up with a challenge given to her.
[2/4 Assistance]

She took a small block of wool and placed it on the table. Thinking of how to go about this with the tulip. She held her hand on her chin debating. But then she decided to just do. Taking a very small chisel she went to work on the wool block.
[3/4 Assistance]

This tasking wouldn't take long for the wonderful student to accomplish. As her sensei had shown her she was taking her time with the detail. Wanting to try and get everything perfect. As she did so she began to hum again. Almost infecting the elder with her humming.
[4/4 Assistance]

She handed the tulip to the elder smiling as she did so. Understanding that she had done what he asked of her. The elder chuckled with joy and patted her on her head. Happy with her progress as she went back to sweeping up the wool chips. All into the same normal pile of course.
[2/2 Preparation]

Minako was dancing through the area almost as she was resetting everything. She knew the elder had probably one more job in him. Before he would want to sleep that is. The poor old man seemed to get tired rather easily. Something she already took note of as she finished setting the tools.
[1/2 Preparation]

She then danced back to the front awaiting a customer to enter. The feeling of dread was consuming her as all she wanted was to help her sensei. It appeared she might not get that chance again in the shop. Biting her lip she began to debate on what to do. "Young one." The elder called for her.
[1/4 Assistance]

Minako's head shot up as she moved over to the elder. Ready to aid him in whatever he might need of her. Her smile still plastered on her face as she was curious as to what he might want. Something that crossed her mind a lot lately. She stopped right next to her sensei as he put a block of wool on the table.
[2/4 Assistance]

The elder held a magnifying glass to the wool and told her to hold it still. Minako did so and showed she had the hands of a surgeon. They never once shook or moved in the slightest. Something that was rather odd for someone in her family. As they all had unsteady hands unlike Minako.
[3/4 Assistance]

She began to hum once more while holding the magnifying glass. The elder chuckled as he chiseled away at it. Eventually starting to hum with her as he went on with his tasking. Adjusting her hand every once in a while to set up in a new spot. Eventually the elder made a rose with her help.
[4/4 Assistance]

Minako got up and stretched a bit looking around the shop. Her humming continued as she looked to her elder who was sleeping. At this time she knew it was over with. He had completed his tasks and was too tired to do anymore. Minako placed a jacket over his shoulders and began to clean everything up in the store.
[2/2 Preparation]

Minako came back after a short rest smiling at the fact the elder was still asleep. Yet there were customers waiting on their service. She smiled and greeted each and every one of them. Moving over to the table she shook the elder awake gently as she began prepping the tools for the day.
[1/1 Preparation]

Minako sat the customer's down in the seating area. Giving them number tickets in regards to what position they were holding in line. She was practically dancing around the area as she was assisting in her sensei. Such a wonderful feeling that she managed to obtain from this. It was the only thing that she really needed at this moment.
[1/3 Assistance]

Her smile and humming consumed the room as she danced around the area. The elder chuckling as she managed to assist him through the first jobs. Not even realizing that she was humming in the first place anymore. She had to continue on with everything as idle hands are the oni's work. She was so excited to be there for her sensei.
[2/3 Assistance]

The elder called for her and told her what to do. Moving to his side quickly she held the block of wool down. Allowing him to strike it precisely where he needed to. Making it into a small figurine for the first customer. Not even aware of what it was really just followed the picture given to him.
[3/3 Assistance]

Minako handed the object to the first customer. The customer eagerly delivered his thanks to Minako as he left. Minako went back to the table and wiped the wool chips off of it. Right before sweeping them up into a pile on the floor. Then going back and resetting the tools.
[1/1 Preparation]

Minako went over to the next customer greeting them. The customer stopped momentarily stunned by her beautiful blue eyes. Minako tilted her head slightly with her ear to ear smile. She waited patiently on him to tell her what he needed. But he couldn't speak to save his life as he was stunned by her beauty.
[1/3 Assistance]

Minako had no idea what was going on but she'd never go after someone for their shortcomings. Although she had no idea why he was have difficulty speaking to her. So instead she held her smile to him and then spoke soothingly to him. "Do you have an idea of what you want?" She asked the man and he started to stutter.
[2/3 Assistance]

He nodded and spoke to her in a stutter "Jewelry box, please." He managed to get out and the elder woke up a bit more. Slowly working on the object with ease as he tore through the chucks of wool as if they were nothing. Minako hoped that in the future she could be as skilled as he was. Once the box was completed Minako brought it over to the man for inspection.
[3/3 Assistance]

Minako danced her way over to the table resetting it for later use. Moving the tools back into their correct positions. Dusting the table for wool chips and dust upon it. Her infectious humming filling the room as she did so. Captivating the customers and keeping their attention upon her.
[1/1 Preparation]

Minako continued her graceful movements towards the next customer. Her bright blue eyes peering into the woman's eyes. She didn't understand the effect she had on customer's as the woman was blushing at the sight of her. The woman smiled lustfully towards Minako going so far as the show cleavage. Yet this didn't effect the innocent Minako as she waited to hear what the woman wanted.
[1/3 Assistance]

The woman quickly gave an answer as to what she needed from the wool shop. Minako went over to her sensei with the order. It was going to be a woolen plaque of sorts. Something that would be a breeze for them to accomplish. Minako was excited to see how this was going to go.
[2/3 Assistance]

So the elder cut the wool down to the right size and told her to listen up. She was going to be learning something new after all. He was going to show her a bit of wool burning to aid in her future jobs. She was going to be as talented as he was before the end of all of this. As the plaque was finished she blew on it to cool it down.
[3/3 Assistance]

Minako moved back to the woman and handed her the plaque. The woman expressed her gratitude and left as quickly as she came. Minako then moved back to the table placing a glass of milk upon it for the elder. Her movements were quick as she dusted and swept up the wool chips. She wondered curiously how much the elder spent on all of this wool he had.
[1/1 Preparation]

Sneezing loudly someone blessed Minako and she replied thanks in kind to them. She moved to the next customer noting it was just two of them left. Curious as to what this next one wanted she awaited a response. As normal the man simply looked at her and got down on one knee showing her a ring. "Marry me." He requested and Minako looked at him with wide eyes.
[1/3 Assistance]

Minako shook her head no in response and he sighed defeated. He got up and then asked of something from her. "Might I have something made then?" He asked and Minako nodded as this was a shop after all. He then requested a woolen vase be made for him.
[2/3 Assistance]

She found the request odd but moved to the elder who sighed in embarrasment. "I'm sorry you had to deal with that." He said truthfully as he patted her head and went on to making the object they needed. As normal it didn't take long for her sensei to produce the object that they needed. Minako walked over to the customer and handed him the object.
[3/3 Assistance]

The customer thanked her embarrassed by his own action and quickly left. Minako walked back to the table and performed the same actions she always did. First wiping off the table and then sweeping it all up. Knowing full well what was needed of her at this point. So she just did it without question at this point.
[1/1 Preparation]

She then walked over to the last customer curious as to what he could possibly need at this current time. The customer seemed to be a rather twitchy individual. Not being able to stay still in the slightest at this time. Something that Minako actually found kind of cute. She smiled at the customer and waited to hear what he could possibly want.
[1/3 Assistance]

The customer told her what he required of them and Minako stopped in her tracks. Her eyes wide as she just looked at the man. "What?" She asked of him and he asked for the object yet again. Minako stood there for a few moments thinking of what to do. To make such a thing would be embarrasing for this store.
[2/3]

Instead Minako pointed to the door and told the man to get out. The man seemed to get upset with her but Minako held firm. Keeping her hand pointed to the door with an expression that spoke to the man. 'Try me.' Was written all over her body language. The man cowardly did such and left the building leaving her and her sensei the only ones in it.
[3/3 assistance]

Minako was to a point with her training that she was now a master. She knew what to do and how to do it just right. She was well on her way to becoming a grand master in the eyes of her sensei. As she poured a glass of milk for herself and her sensei she set up the table for them once more.
[1/1 Preparation]

Approaching a customer she went to see what they could possibly want. Upon hearing they wanted a toy dagger made Minako nodded. Moving to the table with her sensei with the appropriate tools. She knew how to go about this as a normal individual. Quickly making a toy dagger and handing it back over to the customer.
[1/1 Assistance]

It didn't take long for Minako to get her mind on straight as she was moving. Putting the tools back in the correct spots. Knowing how much it would annoy the hell out of her sensei otherwise. Due to the fact that she had known him to have severe ocd. While quickly sweeping everything up as well.
[1/1 Preparation]

Then moving over to the next customer she smiled beautifully. She danced a bit in her movements as she took down the next order. The order was to make yet another toy dagger. She didn't know why people wanted it but she made it easily. Perhaps it was because of the fact that they had children who wanted to be shinobi.
[1/1 Assistance]

Minako then quickly moved back to the table taking a drink from her milk. She was growing a natural love of milk due to the elder's influence. She smiled a bit while putting everything back in place. It was becoming a force of habit at this point. Especially as she swept up the wool chips once more.
[1/1 Preparation]

She moved over to the next customer and peered at them with her large blue eyes. Yet another customer was taken off guard by her large blue eyes. It was something that they weren't expecting as they asked for a woolen rose. She then moved over to the table and worked on it. Taking her time with every little detail of the rose.
[1/1 Assistance]

She moved back to the customer with the rose and handed it to them. Understanding that she had performed the elder's job for him. She was going to do anything to help him out in his time of need. Especially something as simple as this. She quickly reset the table once more for the next job.
[1/1 Preparation]

She yawned knowing that she was going to need a little bit of a break soon. After all she was working her hands until they were almost bleeding. Yet moving to the next customer she heard that they wanted a dresser. So with the elder's help she began to work on one rather quickly. Dancing a bit she showed the customer it and was quickly thanked.
[1/1 Assistance]

She helped the customer get it out of the shop and onto their cart. She quickly moved back to the table looking at it. Sweeping everything off of it as she looked to the wool chips. Then she began to sweep everything up into a pile on the floor before reseting her tools.
[1/1 Preparation]

Then dancing once more back over to thte customers she looked to her. The woman smiled beautifully and practically flirted with Minako. Much like earlier with her new student it went over her head. So when asked to make a woolen ring Minako did just that. Moving over to the table and quickly making one for the customer and completing the job.

As she left the wool shop she would find herself being dragged into another store. She was a bit cold this time as she knew that the possibility of the last shop might reoccur again. She didn't want to be a sideshow simply because of how she looked. It was something that she was unable to grasp at this time. As she was being dragged into this new shop she realized it was something that she wasn't going to be able to get used to it.
[1/3 Preparation]

She looked at the young man dragging her into the shop and he held a genuine smile. "Please start grabbing the pots and set them up." He said as his voice was extremely relaxed. His movements slow and deliberate. Something she wasn't used to as there was an odd smell in the shop as well.
[2/3 Preparation]

A customer came in requesting that a pot be made for them. Minako didn't know how to make post as she was a Grand Master wood smith. The new smith she was working for had a cigarette or something in his mouth. Slowly puffing on it as he knew what the customer wanted. The smith smiled at Minako as he seemed extremely relaxed.
[1/4 Assistance]

She moved over to the working station with the new sensei. Watching his every movement as he set up the station for work. Although she was unfamiliar with this process she was excited none the less. It was about gaining knowledge that excited her entirely. The man briefly introduced himself as a hippie.
[2/4 Assistance]

She was curious as to what a hippie was but at the same time didn't let it bother her. She would figure it out later. After all as of right now she had to worry about learning a new job. She watched as the hippie began to craft a pot from simple clay. Amazed at how the process worked.
[3/4 Assitance]

It didn't take long for her interest to be peeked and the hippie chuckled noting her expression. He grabbed the clay and placed it within an oven and waited for a bit. Watching it heat and harden within the oven. Grabbing it with gloves she placed it back on the workstation where it would cool. Then the hippie would go over it to make it shine brilliantly.
[4/4 Assistance]

When he was done Minako grabbed the pot and walked back to the customer. Handing it to him so that he could complete his order. He expressed his thanks rather eagerly and went away. Minako did the same duties as her last job. Quickly resetting all of the tools for her sensei.
[3/3 Preparation]

She walked back over to her sensei and waited for him to tell her what to do next. He kept smoking the strange substance that filled the room as he was laying back in his chair. Waiting on the next customer to come into the building. So that they might fufill the next order. Something that Minako was eager to do as she prepared the area.
[1/3 Preparation]

Slowly resetting the oven and all the tools that were used. As well as cleaning everything up in the area. She saw that this shop was a mess. Something that was about to drive Minako insane. As she was a very clean person and this was something that she wasn't used to.
[2/3 Preparation]

She then heard the bell ring for another customer entering the building. So that she moved over to the customer. Eager to see what they could possibly want. The customer was hesitant to give an order at first. But eventually came through and asked for a vase.
[1/4 Assistance]

Minako moved over to the work station. Continuously eager to help and learn this new trade. It was a lot more delicate than she was used to. Due to the fact that Wood Smithing required her to be harsh with the wood. This job required her to be as delicate as if she was handling kittens.
[2/4 Assistance]

She continued her efforts as the hippie told her what to do. Every once in a while she wiped a wet rag across his forehead. Knowing that this building was extremely hot because of whatever he was smoking. As well as the pots that they were making. She eventually took off her jacket to try and get cool in the building.
[3/4 Assistance]

The hippie began to form the vase with ease in this current situation. As the wheel spun he moved his hands up and down on the vase forming it better and better. She began to ready the oven for the hippie. So that they could just throw in the product and cook it. Which it was quickly settled into the oven and finished shortly.
[4/4 Assistance]

She took the vase and walked over to the customer. Handing it over and gaining another thanks for her efforts. Something she was growing accustomed to. She went back to the work station and cleaned off the clay. Sweeping it all up into a pile
[3/3 Preparation]

Moving back over to her hippie sensei he told her a secret to this job. "It's about being relaxed. There's more than one way to do it but you always need to be calm about it. You know what I mean?" He asked of her and this took her off guard entirely. So she would have to relax in the face of customers for it?
[1/3 Preparation]

She bit her lip and slowly began to think of how she was going to do this. Then eventually finally relaxed a bit. Not caring about how this was going to happen. She was just going to finish it just like the last one. As if they were one and the same.
[2/3 Prepartion]

A customer came in and Minako went over to greet him. Curious as to what he wanted them to make for him. A few different things came to her mind. Curious as to how they were going to make it as well. The customer was a shy teenage girl who kept biting her lip as she looked at Minako.
[1/4 Assistance]

The teenage girl slowly began to open up to the lovely Minako. Blushing at her looks as well as her beautiful blue eyes . Minako knew the look but let it go as she need to help this customer. To find out what they needed and want made. Instead Minako remained silent with a smile upon her face.
[2/4 Assistance]

She finally got an answer from the young girl as to what she wanted. She managed to get it out as Minako walked over to the hippie. Not liking the way there's multiple ways to do things in this job. When she would become a Grand Master she'd learn her own way. The hippie smiled at what they were going to make.
[3/4 Assistance]

She told the hippie all the specifications and they got started on the soft metal. Slowly forming it and taking time for it to shape. Taking time to allow it to mend how it wanted to. Minako didn't quite understand how this process went. She then watched as the candle stick was finally made.
[4/4 Assistance]

Minako waited for it to cool before picking it up. She grabbed it and walked over to the teenage girl. Handing it to her and receiving a thanks from her. The girl blushed and walked away. She wiped and cleaned everything up in the area for the next job.
[3/3 Preparation]

Minako continued on with her diligent actions as far as getting everything ready. She managed to get another smile from the hippie as she readied everything. Preheating the ovens as well as cleaning the area around her. The hippie's only concern was to sit there smoking whatever the hell substance it was. Whatever it was it seemed to calm him down greatly.
[1/3 Preparation]

She wondered what it could be and wondered if she could try some of it sometime. She then wondered if it would be a good idea. Being a shinobi and all she had to be on her toes at all time right? Curiosity indeed killed the cat as she wondered what it was. But then she shook the thought from her mind.
[2/3 Preparation]

When another customer came into the building she took a minute. Looking at them and seeing if they would wait for her or go straight to the hippie. So many questions were ringing in her mind as she was working here. She didn't know if she wanted to continue this work as it wasn't set up to be black and white business. Cracking her neck she continued to wait.
[1/4 Assistance]

The customer waited there patiently on them as she didn't want to be rude. Smiling Minako decided it would be a good idea to go to her. After all she was beign a very patient customer. Walking over to her she greeted the young woman pleasantly. The young woman was excited as well as shy around Minako.
[2/4 Assistance]

She saw the shyness and still didn't understand it. It was crazy as to how these customers were with her. Always staring at her and either blushing or stammering. She couldn't quite figure out why. But it didn't bother her at this time as she was waiting on the customer.
[3/4 Assistance]

The customer told her what she wanted and Minako went over to the hippie. Who took a long drag of whatever he was smoking. A soft smile remained plastered upon his face at all times. Something that she was growing accustomed to as they began to work on the object. The hippie taught her more tricks as far as white smithing.
[4/4 Assistance]

She then handed the object over to the customer and was disturbed by it. She didn't know what it was but had an odd shape to it. It was like a pipe but wasn't at the same time. It was indeed weird to her but she didn't let it get to her. She was here to clean up at this point. As well as resetting every little thing.
[3/3 Preparation]

Minako walked back over to the hippie curious as to how she could prepare. She bit her lip not knowing how she coudl help really. As she had already completed everything for him. Instead she began to fidget with her hands looking around. Trying to fix anything that she could see that was deficient.
[1/3 Preparation]

It didn't take long for the hippie to address her. Wanting her to relax and just wait on the next customer. so she did just that after cleaning just a bit more. She grew slightly frustrated with this. This really wasn't her style in the slightest as she was one who always needed to work.
[2/3 Preparation]

So when another customer came in Minako waited. Trying to see what kind of customer they were. Whether they be patient or an a*****e. These were very good questions to have answers to really. It wasn't often that she got a good customer anymore.
[1/4 Assitance]

When the customer showed a level of impatience Minako walked over to them. Taking their order so that the hippie could get started on it. But this one was a bit different. The customer kept changing the details every once in a while. This wasn't uncommon really as the customer really didn't know what they wanted.
[2/4 Assistance]

Minako sighed as she was slightly annoyed with this place. She didn't want to work her anymore but she needed to learn this portion of smithing. After all she was aiming to become a legendary smith. Which required her not to b***h about every little thing. She was learning as she went honestly.
[3/4 Assistance]

She went over to the hippie with the order and he smiled at her. Taking another long drag with her right beside him. He started on the object getting the details down to the t. It was as this point she saw the similarities between the elder and thsi hippie. Their passion for their jobs as well as attention to detail.
[4/4 Assistance]

Minako took the object and walked over to the customer. Who honestly didn't seem to be happy at this moment. Yet he paid the two of them and walked out of there disgruntled . Minako walked back to the work station adn began to clean it off. Then swept everything up into a pile for cleaning in the future.
[3/3 Preparation]

It didn't take long for Minako to get a sense of how this job was supposed to go. At the current moment she was going around cleaning everything. Knowing that it would only help their future jobs that they would do together. After all the hippie never cleaned anything on his own. Something that disgusted Minako on the inside a bit.
[1/2 Preparation]

When another customer entered the area Minako went to them to greet them. While most of her customers had been okay this one was extremely rude. He wouldn't stop staring at her chest and this aggrivated her. Practically growling at the man he laughed a bit embarrased at his own actions. Or rather embarrased that he had gotten caught.
[1/4 Assistance]

Such a thing annoyed her greatly but she wouldn't be deterred at this moment. She had to complete this form of training so that she could be an even greater smith. After all that's what it meant to work right? To shoot to the top of the ladder no matter what? That's what Minako intended on doing at the very least.
[2/4 Assistance]

It didn't matter that Minako liked her boss or the customers or not. As she would learn the job and become a grand master no matter what. Yet this man continued to gawk at her breasts. Forcing Minako to cross her arms over them. She wasn't some piece of meat for the men to stare at.
[3/4 Assistance]

She was a hard worker that deserved at least a little bit of respect in this regard. She didn't deserve to be treated like a piece of meat. The man giggled nervously until he finally left the store. Knowing full well that he was only there to look at her. With his perverse thoughts roaming through his head about her.
[4/4 Assistance]

She was highly annoyed once more but didn't stop this from her work. After all she was a Himura and they worked until they died. It wasn't a figure of speech either as Himura's always had to work. Otherwise they'd go crazy from boredom. Going back to cleaning she was trying to make herself useful at this time.
[2/2 Preparation]

Still cleaning she moved through the dusty store making it spotless. Her sensei didn't ask her to do this but it had to be done. After all the reputation of the shop appeared to be horrible at the time. Which only made sense as her sensei did nothing for cleaning. she began to think he was always on drugs at this point ant time.
[1/2 Preparation]

She didn't want any of her shops to be known for such things. She wanted her shop to be known for making nothing bot the best of products. Something that she was actually excited for as she waited to aid her sensei. The smell of the store slowly getting to her as she coughed a little. The hippie only chuckled in response as he was hot boxing the poor girl.
[1/4 Assistance]

It didn't take long for the next customer to come to the shop and it was the mother of the young girl from before. The woman greeted her pleasantly of having a fond memory of Minako. After all Minako was a sweetheart with most people. What wasn't there to love in this situation. The woman then began to chit chat with Minako.
[2/4 Assistance]

In return Minako chatted with the woman keeping the attention off of the hippie. As he began to snore loudly at his work station from falling asleep. There was nothing to him as all he did was smoke some strange herb, eat, and sleep. Minako frowned a bit and then the woman asked her to make something. They were going to be making a chandelier for the woman.
[3/4 Assistance]

Minako was excited by this project and was eager to learn. After all it wasn't every day she got to make big things. Humming to herself she walked over to her sensei. Waking him up and explaining what the woman wanted. It didn't take long for the hippie to craft such a thing.
[4/4 Assistance]

With some difficulty Minako managed to carry the large chandelier out of the building. Putting it in the woman's cart and earning a hug from her. This was unexpected but not unpleasant to say the least. Minako hugged her back and walked back into the building. Quickly reseting all of the tools that were used for the next job.
[2/2 Preparation]

If Minako had one thing to say about this job it was how boring it was. There wasn't as many customer's as there were in her last job. Making it often dull and boring in her mind. She wondered if this is why the hippie always slept in between jobs. To simply pass time as he waited and she cleaned?
[1/2 Preparation]

Once more it didn't take long for their next customer. After all they were getting somewhat popular with Minako being there. Just like her last job they started to come in from every corner of the village for her. Simply to stare at her beauty as they waited to be seen. Which once more was something she was ignorant to.
[1/4 Assistance]

She vaguely knew how flirting worked even though at times it went completely over her head. Or rather most of the time it did and she would answer in a completely innocent way. She knew how courting worked or rather the ye old version of it. Biting her lip she looked at the customers for a moment. She approached the first customer in line.
[2/4 Assistance]

Curious as to what he wanted made he gave details about the object. It was one much like they made earlier. A smoke pipe of sorts that Minako didn't quite understand how it was made. She went over to her sensei and asked something. "Wouldn't it make more sense if these people went to a glass blower?"
[3/4 Assistance]

The man laughed a bit and nodded to her question. "Yeah it would make sense but these people are already stoned out of their gourd." He chuckled as the joke went completely over Minako's head entirely. She took his word for it and merely began to assist him in creating the product. It didn't take long for completion of this odd smoke pipe to be made.
[4/4 Assistance]

Afterwords Minako walked over to the man handing it to him and he smiled. His eyes bloodshot at the moment which put Minako off of this place even more. She was getting creeped out by the customer's coming here. She moved back to the work station and began to reset everything there. As well as begin to clean up the area for her sensei.
[2/2 Preparation]

The next job would be a bit easier as some of the customers left. The only ones that remained were the ones that looked like normal people. Licking her lips she continued to clean as sweat poured down her brow. She knew before the day was over she was going to have to wash her clothes and her head band for sure. She would be damned before her headband would be dirty all day.
[1/2 Preparation]

So as everything was adjusted and fixed Minako went to the next customer. Another teenage girl that was looking for a jewelry box to be made. Minako hadn't a clue how to make such a thing. So before she made it with the soft metals this shop had she thought about it. Especially how it would work with soft metal rather than wood.
[1/4 Assistance]

Instead of pondering over it for hours she decided it best to learn from the hippie. Although she didn't like how he worked she wouldn't deny his knowledge. Walking over to him she handed him a glass of water as he couldn't stop coughing. He waited until the coughing stopped before he took a sip and thanked her. A smile reached her face once more as she was useful again.
[2/4 Assistance]

He asked her what the job was and then she quickly explained. His hand was rubbing his chin a bit as he smoked the strange herb some more. His face spaced out as if he was somewhere else at the current moment. Steadily thinking and debating about what was going on. He then licked his lips and slapped his hands together.
[3/4 Assistance]

He directed her with what to do every once in a while. Whether holding something. Bending something to a certain angle. Or even deciding that she should take a break every once in a while. However he needed help Minako was there to help do whatever needed to be done.
[4/4 Assistance]

After they finished the box Minako took it and wiped it with a rag. Getting it to shine brilliantly as she moved back to the customer. Handing it to the customer she was thanked a million times. She smiled as she liked that customer and went back to cleaning. Quickly setting everything back up for the next customer.
[2/2 Preparation]

It seemed that this next customer would be the last one for a short break. After all her hippie sensei was smoking his herb harder than normal. Minako frowned before finishing cleaning everything up. Tidying everything down to the last and smallest of details making sure everything was clean. She was there to prepare and assist the hippie however he may need it, within reason.
[1/2 Preparation]

As she moved to the next customer she took in her appearance. The woman had big vibrant purple eyes. Something she had never seen before which took her completely off guard. Minako bit her lip as the woman seemed hesitant about being there. Something that Minako didn't understand why.
[1/4 Assistance]

She sat down next to the customer and began to make small talk with her. Trying to get her to open up about what she needed from them. Minako didn't mind how long this took as she was here regardless of this woman. She just wanted the woman to feel calm and welcomed in this shop. It didn't take long for the woman to explain in great detail what she wanted.
[2/4 Assistance]

Minako nodded to her as she was the third customer that day to ask for something like that. Another weird pipe made of a soft metal. She began to wonder what these smoke pipes were used for. Although she wasn't curious enough to actually ask the customer themselves. Instead Minako danced over to her sensei and told him what to make.
[3/4 Assistance]

He sighed as it appeared he was getting tired of making these. Quickly setting out his tools he knew how to make them exactly right. Which was frightening when Minako thought about it. Because then the thought was how many of these did he make exactly. It didn't take long for the hippie to make the odd object and handed it to Minako.
[4/4 Assistance]

"Arigato." The woman spoke softly to Minako before bowing and leaving. Minako smiled as there was another happy customer added to her roster. She was somewhat proud of her work and progess as a white smith. Not quiet as much as her progress as a wood smith of course. Before everything was said and done she moved to start cleaning everything up like normal.
[2/2 Preparation]

Minako returned to the shop a couple hours later to see it completely dirty again. Her blood vessel in her head nearly popped at the sight. How did the hippie manage to make a mess like this in such a short time. Her eyes narrowed as she found the hippie passed out at his work station. She moved to quickly start cleaning the area.
[1/1 Preparation]

Instead she heard the bell to the front door ring loud and knew they had a customer. She growled softly as she was about to beat this man's a** for this pig stye. She cleaned it up so well earlier so what the hell was the matter with him? Moving quiclky to the customer she greeted them with her normal angelic smile and voice.
[1/3 Assistance]

Something that apparently took the customer off guard as they stared at her for a bit. The woman smiled at Minako and even winked to her. Minako being the innocent little bunny she was was unphased at the moment. Instead the woman frowned and told Minako what she wanted made. Minako in turn walked to her sensei.
[2/3 Assistance]

Placing her hand on her sensei's shoulder she shook him a bit. Startling him and making him jump a bit at this moment. He licked his lips and looked around with wide eyes. She chuckled a bit and told the hippie what he needed to make. So before too long he created just what the customer had asked for.
[3/3 Assistance]

Minako quickly grabbed the item made for the customer and walked over to the woman. Greeting her once more and handing the item to her. The woman thanked her and paid like every other customer before them. Minako then went to the work station with the hippie sitting in front of it. Then cleaned it as was her duty at thee time.
[1/1 Preparation]

Another customer entered the building with the same chime as normal. The customer waited patiently as Minako walked over to him. Humming as she did so as was a force of habit for her while working. Although it was never unpleasant to those that worked with her. The customer bowed to her politely before speaking to her.
[1/3 Assistance]

The customer then began to speak with her about what he wanted. Several candle holders that had dragon imagery upon them. Then asked if such a thing was possible. Minako nodded that it was very much possible for them to do. After all if the hippie was worth his salt then he could do it.
[2/3 Assistance]

Minako told the hippie what had to be made and he nodded understanding. A sigh emerged from the hippie as he was clearly getting tired of this job. It wouldn't be much longer before Minako was able to make everything herself. So all she had to do was hold on for a bit longer while the hippie made the items.It didn't take long for the hippie to make the items as was normal of him.
[3/3 Assistance]

Minako grabbed the items and handed them to the customer. Who once again bowed before speaking to her. Minako noted how respectful he was to her and was smiling because of it. He had to be the best customer she's ever had. Smiling as she walked back to the work station she began to clean it.
[1/1 Preparation]

Another customer quickly entered and seemed to be annoyed. Minako took in a deep breath as she didn't want to deal with an angry customer right now. She would more than likely pin him in one of her webs should he be rude to her. Minako walked over to the man cautiously and greeted him. She was greeted with a snap from him and she stared at him for a good moment.
[1/3 Assistance]

Minako waited a good minute before the customer rubbed the back of his head and apologized. She was cold to him for a few more moments before asking him what he wanted. He explained he wanted a platter to be made for serving food. Minako didn't expect a request like this but wasn't opposed to it either. After all she was here to learn all aspects of the job... wasn't she?
[2/3 Assistance]

She went back to the hippie and told him what they had to make. As normal he went onto start making the product. Having her help here and there with forging it. As well as teaching her as they went by. As far as what worked and what didn't work but gave her no definitive answer by any means.
[3/3 Asssitance]

It didn't take long for the product to be finished and Minako grabbed it. Quickly polishing it she handed it over to the customer for him to inspect. The customer smiled and thanked her. Apologizing once more for being an a** to her as well. She smiled again and began to clean up for the next customer.
[1/1 Preparation]

The next customer came into the building but Minako was still busy cleaning. As the bell was rung a few more times her sensei was about to stand up. The moment this occurred she sat him down and went to the customer. To see what he could possibly want at this moment. The hippie continued his normal regiment and smoked more of his herb.
[1/3 Assistance]

Minako moved to the customer and greeted them kindly. Knowing that appearances were everything. Although this shop was disgustingly filthy and her shop would never look like this at all. She continued to smile as she waited for the customer to speak with her. The customer instead laid blueprints out for what he wanted.
[2/3 Assistance]

Minako went to her sensei with the blue prints and the sensei chuckled a bit. "So he want's a music box. Okay." Her hippie spoke as he began to take on his normal routine at the work station. Quickly forging everything as if it was nothing to him in the slightest. Of course the reality was it really was nothing to him. Something that she'd never get used to as he finished the product.
[3/3 Assistance]

Minako grabbed the product and walked back over to the male customer. His eyes tearing up a bit as she handed him a music box. He quietly left as quickly as he came and disturbed Minako a bit. She went back to the table cleaning it up a bit. Getting it ready once more for the next customer they'd have.
[1/1 Preparation]

The next customer that came in dropped cuff links onto the table at the front. Minako quickly went to greet him and was shown the cuff links. She took a look at them and saw how worn they were. She frowned as she didn't know if they could restore them or even make new ones as the details were so old. She began to question the man about them and was greeted with a smile.
[1/3 Assistance]

The customer was glad they were the only shop that seemed to care about the detail. Something that Minako was proud of at this time. The man began to go over what exactly the details were with the cuff links. She quickly saw the patterns that he pointed out especially with the bear face upon it. The man seemed to be extremely pleased as he continued on with what was needed.
[2/3 Assistance]

They haven't even finished a product yet and the man already said how happy he was goign to be with what they made. Minako went over to her sensei and spoke with him about what to make. Her sensei had her hold a magnifying glass up as he began to etch in every detail in the small cuff links. Restoring them to their former glory and handing them back to the man. The man was extremely pleased and thanked her as he left putting them on.
[3/3 Assistance]

Minako licked her lips as now she was going to do this on her own. Cracking her neck a bit she waited for the first customer to enter. She let the hippie sleep in the corner as she greeted the first one of the day. The man showed her what appeared to be a tea pot of a soft metal. It had a large crack in the side and asked her if she could make one like it.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

Minako went to the work station and quickly cleaned it up. She was now performing this job as she had nothing better to do. She wanted the hands on experience and she was going to earn the title of grand master. Quickly using the right tools and melting the metal down to reshape it. She made a barely smaller version of the teapot for the man.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

She handed the tea pot to the man who seemed to be estatic. He gave her a hug and thanked her repeatedly before another customer came in. He asked for some candle holders to be made for his home. Something that Minako nodded to and moved back to the work station. Cracking her fingers she debated about how to go about this.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

It didn't take long for her to get the measurements right and begin on the project. Much like her current sensei and former sensei she was no slouch in her work. Quickly forming the objects for her customer and cooling them to make adjustments as needed. When she was finished she looked at the objects for a minute. Making sure there was no deficiency before handing it over to him.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

The customer was estatic with her work and thanked her repeatedly. She only laughed in return and told him no thanks was neccesary. As she continued to work while the hippie slept she grew rather famous. Not only for her beauty but her craftsmanship as well. She was already well known as a good woodsmith but now she was becoming an even greater white smith. Moving onto the next project she sighed a bit.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

She looked at the precious metal the man wanted to use and knew it would be difficult. She couldn't make one error while making an award plaque for him. Otherwise she might risk him becoming furious with her. Which was something she didn't fear as she could handle herself. Instead she blew through the project with ease at this time.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

She handed the plaque off to the man and he looked full of joy. Surprised by her work and her beauty alike. It was something that she couldn't get used to. However she was going to have to if she wanted to continue this line of work. She took the next customer's request rather quickly.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

She was on a roll and didn't want to stop anytime soon. The more she did the more complete she felt at the time. Which wasn't anything too odd was it? she was curious about that as she began working on a few food trays for the customer. Quickly finishing it as if it were nothing at all.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

Handing the objects to the customer he greeted her and bowed to her. Making her frown a bit as this was getting slightly out of hand. Were they all going to do this to her? That was honestly the million ryo question of the day. Taking the next customer's order she readied herself mentally for it.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

Like before this customer wanted one of those odd smoke pipes. While she wasn't happy about making it she wasn't about to tell the customer off. After all this wasn't her shop to do business in at all. This was a place for her to work and gain experience. After watching the hippie make them all day she made them just as easily as he did.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

She sneezed as she handed over the odd smoke pipe to the man. Getting his thanks as he spoke extremely slow to her. She began to wonder briefly if he was daft or something. However to ask such a thing would be extremely rude of course. So she instead got the order from the next customer.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

This customer wanted a couple of tea cups to be made for him and his lover. Nothing wrong with that in the slightest as Minako got the information from them. She began to make it according to the specifications that they wanted. Down the the smallest of details as she completed it as if it were nothing. Of course to Minako it really was nothing at this point.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

She handed the cup set over to the couple and they thanked her. The woman going so far as to kiss Minako's cheek with appreciation. That was something her mother did every once i na while so she thought nothing of it. She looked to the next customer who looked like a pure business man. Quickly getting the information from him as far as what he wanted.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

According to the man he had an aquiantance that came in earlier having his cuffs fixed. The man had asked Minako to make him a new set entirely with a dragon on it. Minako nodded to the man and understood what to do. Quickly moving to the work station she effortlessly moved through the process. Working on them until every little detail was finished.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

Minako yawned as she was getting a bit tired but she was almost there. Handing the cuff links to the man he smiled like a demon as he walked out. Kind of creepy but Minako wasn't going to complain. After all this was good money for her right now. She quickly got the next order from her customers.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

Minako had cracked her neck moving back to the work station as her body was starting to hurt. The old man gave her breaks here and there. Where as here she just worked and worked until completion. Wasn't anything wrong with that really but Minako just wasn't used to it. Getting onto her job she quickly made a set of plates for the man.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

She handed the set of plates over to the man earning his thanks. At this point and time this was simply too easy for her. She was blowing through the jobs as if they were nothing. Something that she wasn't entirely used to honestly. Turning to the next customer he eagerly spoke with her.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

She smiled back to the man and took his order. He was wanting a fancy letter opener to be made for him. One with a wolf's head at the top where they'd grip it. She saw nothing wrong with this and went to work on it. Once more it didn't take her long to complete it in the slightest.
[2/2 Actual Smithing I]

Taking the object after it had cooled down she delivered it to the man. Understanding that he was some sort of business man. Nothing wrong with that in the slightest but she just wasn't used to it. Then her last customer approached her and it was the shy teenager from earlier. She asked if she could have another pipe be made.
[1/2 Actual Smithing I]

She rolled her eyes after turning her back to the customer and went to the work station. Making one with ease for the customer before walking back to the woman. "What are these for anyway?" Minako asked and the girl giggled a bit "They're for drugs." She said and Minako became furious that she had been working in this shady shop. "I QUIT!" She shouted to the hippie and slammed the door on her way out.

Walking down the street it wasn't too long before another person dragged her into a store. She knew how this song and dance was meant to go. She entered the store with the rather short man. He almost looked like a drawf as he spoke to her. "Gray beard told me to grab you. You're going to learn to be a armor smith now missy." The man said and Minako nodded to him like a good little girl.
[1/3 Preparation]

She began to walk around the forge not knowing really what to do. But instead began to clean things up for her future jobs. The man smirked and appreciated that she was ready to get straight to work instead of waste time. Something like that was rarely seen these days. As the kids now adays only wanted to be lazy.
[2/3 Preparation]

A customer came in and went to talk to the dwarf. Instead Minako intervened and spoke to the customer. She knew well enough that the customer was never to speak to the master smith directly. She wouldn't let that slide in any of smithing schools that she would learn. She would hold her discipline no matter what.
[1/4 Assistance]

The customer looked at her like she was nothing but a bug and shoved her aside. Minako's eyes narrowed as she yanked the man back from the smith. The dwarf looked over in concern as to whether or not the lady had it under control. As the man threw a punch at Minako her shinobi training kicked in. Her eyes narrowed as she easily ducked under the the man's punch and landed a solid blow to his ribs.
[2/4 Assistance]

Minako moved back in between the customer and the dwarf. The dwarf ready to charge in this situation but Minako held a hand out telling him to stay. A smile showed up on his face as he fully believed the lass had this handled. the man charged back in for more throwing a jab then a hook. Minako read the signs easily enough.
[3/4 Assistance]

What made this fight easy was the fact that this man had no formal training. All that he could try to do was get by her. But she wasn't going to allow that to happen. It didn't take long for her to see a weak point and she responded to it. Throwing a straight punch she aimed right for the man's genitals and her aim landed true.
[4/4 Assistance]

The man knelt over in pain trying to breath when Minako came up with an uppercut to his jaw. Knocking him out cold as he sprawled out on the floor. He was groaning in pain as she looked down at him. Disgust came to her very soul as she spat down at him. Grabbing him by his wrist she dragged him out of there and threw him into the alleyway.
[3/3 preparation]

Coming back into the smith the dwarf chuckled and held out his fist. She didn't know what he wanted at first but then it hit her. She'd seen a couple of students do such and action from time to time. She smiled to him and fist bumped him back. She moved to start cleaning the mess that the man caused.
[1/3 Preparation]

The dwarf spoke to her as she did her duties as a student. "Now that I know you have my back I'll teach you how to be a grand master. Then after this I'll link you up with a Weapon Smith Grand Master." He spoke firmly to her as she smiled back to him. Grateful for the opportunity that he was giving to her.
[2/3 Preparation]

She moved over to a customer that had come into the smith and greeted him. "You're here now?" He asked her and she nodded smiling remembering this man from the wood smith. I guess that means I know the product will be astounding then. He continued to smile as he was about to explain what he wanted from them.
[1/4 Assistance]

She cracked her neck briefly before giving her full attention back to the man. He then showed her a blue print of what he wanted. It was of two pairs of horse shoes. Something that she assumed was easy enough for certain. Smiling to the man she nodded as she knew that they could get this done.
[2/4 Assistance]

It would only be a small amount of time for them. "Ao get the furnace going." The dwarf spoke but she was curious how he knew her nickname. Or did he just make it up on his own due to her looks? She was slightly confused by it but paid no mind to it. Instead she did as she was told and began to get the furnace going.
[3/4 Assistance]

Getting it going so as to warm it up so they could bend the metal and work it. At least that's how she assumed it was supposed to go. She wasn't certain yet as they had a long way to go before she was a grand master. A process that was repeated over and over. It didn't take long for the dwarf to make everything needed.
[4/4 Assistance]

Minako waited for the objects to cool down before picking them up and packing them in a small container. She carried the container over to the customer and handed it to him. Earning many thanks from the customer she was happy to be here instead of her last job. Finally away from that hippie she began to hum as she cleaned. The dwarf joinin in on her humming as it was pleasant for him too.
[3/3 Preparation]

As she continued to move through the area so did her humming. The dwarf kept humming with her as he wasn't annoyed in the slightest. If anything he liked the change of scenery that the woman brought. It was something different and made it less boring after all. Hell the dwarf went so far as to do a little dance with it.
[1/3 Preparation]

This caused Minako to laugh as she wasn't expecting it in the slightest. The dwarf smiled brilliantly as Minako did a little jig as well. Moving through the area and dancing at the same time. Cleaning what she could as her ocd was kicking in. She had to clean this smith as she wouldn't bare it being dirty in the slightest.
[2/3 preparation]

Her last boss didn't seem to care how his smith looked in the slightest. This one obviously preferred it to be at least a bit tidy. Something she could respect as another customer entered the smith. Going over to greet the customer she showed him a brilliant smile. This customer greeted her in return and smiled back to her.
[1/4 Assistance]

What's the story with the man passed out right at the entrance?" The man asked and Minako replied with a smile still plastered on her face. "Don't mess with my sensei." She spoke and giggled a bit with it. It was a genuine laugh and the man held his smile. "Good to know." He joked with her as he began to search his pockets.
[2/4 Assistance]

It didn't take long for him to get out blue prints for what he wanted them to make. It was nothing special after all so sure it'd be easy for them once more. With every job they did it meant the more that the dwarf would teach her. She took the blueprints back to the dwarf showing him what they needed to make. The dwarf scoffed as apparently he wanted something a bit more difficult to make for sure.
[3/4 Assistance]

They were making a breast plate for the man. Of course it would have to be taken over to an armor smith. But that was okay as they were teaching Minako how to be a armo rsmith. So she would need to know the ins and outs of everything within her job. Something she was excited for as the need to learn was overwhelming her.
[4/4 Assistance]

It didn't take long for the project to be complete and they let it cool. She was pretty happy with the result as she even helped with it. Happy she did so she couldn't stop smiling as she handed the breast plate over to the man. Dancing a bit as she earned his thanks and laughter. She moved back to the smith and started to clean everything up like normal.
[3/3 Preparation]

Doing her dance still it was an infection to everyone around her. Hell the dwarf started to dance again as he so desperately enjoyed the young woman's company. Not caring in the slightest if she were to even do work as he just wanted her around. Although it was a plus that she was such a hard worker as well. His eyes glanced over to her to see her sweeping the floors.
[1/3 Preparation]

She continued to sweep the floors until she saw a spider crawling on the floor. It was a rather big one that was missing a leg. The dwarf looked to her in curiosity to see what she would do to it. Instead of killing it she lifted it up into her hand. To the dwarf's surprise the spider didn't bite her for some odd reason.
[2/3 Preparation]

Instead he watched Minako move to the corner of the smith. Holding her hands up to the wall so that the smpider might climb the wall. It didn't take long for the spider to catch the hint and did so. Moving almost up to the ceiling before beginning to spin its web.A smile crossed her face as she did so and the door bell rang as a customer came in.
[1/4 Assistance]

Moving to the customer she greeted him with a large smile upon his face. The man nodded to her but remained silent. Minako waited there curious as to what the man could possibly have wanted them to make. She knew they would finish it rather easily after all. But that didn't mean she wouldn't try to make it a challenge for the dwarf she worked with.
[2/4 Assistance]

She was shown a picture of a sword and the man knew they could only make a portion of it. He was okay with this as he knew that the dwarf was a grand master of armo rsmith. He didn't want to take this to anyone else to have them ******** this up. After all it wouldn't be a thing for them to craft such a blade. He knew better than to go to anyone else other than the dwarf.
[3/4 Assistance]

She smiled moving over to her sensei showing him the picture. "Oh yeah that's easy." The dwarf mused to her. Eager to do the project she did as instructed by the dwarf. Taught how to do the job with very specific instructions to follow. This was the type of job she'd be more than happy with.
[4/4 Assistance]

Once they were finished with the blade she let it cool down. Showing the man the blade as it was cooling he patted Minako on her back. He was more than pleased with what they had made for him. Once it had cooled down enough the man took his blade. Leaving Minako to clean up the area that they used as normal.
[3/3 Preparation]

Dancing around a bit she began resetting all of the tools in the smith. The dwarf joining her in his attempt at dancing. She couldn't fault him in the slightest as it ws about having fun more so than anything. Biting her lip she began to sweep once more. Getting up all the dust and everything else that was mixed in the debris.
[1/3 Preparation]

Humming as she did so she continued to move through the smith. Performing the same actions over and over getting the place spotless. This was something the dwarf would never do himself. But he wasn't about to tell the girl to stop as she was passionate about it. He couldn't yell at her for holding passion for something.
[2/3 Preparation]

As the bell rang once more Minako fixed herself up a bit. Smiling as she practically bounced back to the customer. Her warm smile infecting yet another customer which only confused the poor lad. He hesitated for a bit as he was stammering with his words. Minako continued to wait patiently for him to speak as she had grown used to this now.
[1/4 Assistance]

She was bouncing up and down a bit on her feet as the dwarf put on some music. It gave a new type of energy to the room causing her to laugh a bit. The customer laughing with her as she was an infectious woman for sure. He then started to pat down his pockets looking for a paper or something. Minako was curious for sure but she wasn't about to deter him.
[2/4 Assistance]

When he pulled the paper out she looked at it and read a small list. The man was tryign to get his hands on different types of nails. A bundle of them of course. She began to wonder how he would be charged for all of this but then though that wasn't her lane to cross. Instead she walked over to the dwarf and showed it to him.
[3/4 Assistance]

Once more the dwarf scoffed with the simiplicity of this job. He appeared to be getting annoyed by all of this. He apparently was looking for a real challenge to make. Minako frowned as she hoped the man would find what he sought. Once more it didn't take long for them to finish with the nails.
[4/4 Assistance]

Minako took the nails to the customer and recieved his thanks. Minako began dancing with the music once more. Understanding that she was nearly done with her beginning stage of work. She would begin her work cleaning up once more in the area. Sweeping everything up leaving the smith spotless to work in.
[3/3 Preparation]

Sighing softly Minako appeared to be getting depresssed about something. The dwarf turned down the music and walked over to her. Obviously caring about his new apprentice. "What's up young one?" He asked of her and she shrugged her shoulders as she was cleaning.
[1/2 Preparation]

The dwarf was about to say more but then the bell rang for another customer. Something he still wasn't getting used to but an improvement Minako made to the smith. She was for sure a smart individual especially when it came to maximizing a profit. He wasn't about to argue in any way with her business. She'd make one hell of a smith down the road that much was certain.
[1/4 Assistanec]

Minako walked over to the customer to greet them but she didn't hold her signature smile. Instead the customer got straight to the point. Wanting links of viking mail to be made for him. Something that yet again would be easy but surely time consuming to say the least. She licked her lips and nodded to the man as she walked back to her sensei.
[2/4 Assistance]

The sensei grunted in disapproval as there was much better armor links that could be made. But thsi is what the customer wanted. So it was what he was goign to get from the two of them. They wouldn't waste their time arguing with him. As well as the fact that he knew better than to argue with a customer.
[3/4 Assistance]

Even if the customer was being a complete jackass. The dwarf quickly set on to make the product for this man. Not caring in the slightest that it wasn't perfect as the man was barking up the wrong tree. There was such better mail to make than viking mail. As normal it didn't take long for the dwarf to finish everything with the help of his apprentice.
[4/4 Assistance]

Working on cooling it down she took it over to the customer in a container. Handing it over to him the customer thanked her repeatedly. Excited for what he was going to do with it he left the smith. Minako could be seen sweeping up but not smiling this time. Instead she was in her own world currently.
[2/2 Preparation]

Minako continued to clean up in the smith. Knowing full well that this was her duty at this time. Thee dwarf wanted to talk to her about what was wrong. But didn't want to invade her space either as she was cleaning. He wasn't the type to just keep chasing a dog.
[1/2 Preparation]

After all if you kept chasing the dog eventually it would turn and bite you. This was dwarven logic at its fineset of course. If the actual dwarf race was a real thing that is. A chuckle escaped the dwarf's lips as he thought of what to do next. It didn't take long for the bell to ring once more.
[1/4 Assistance]

Minako went over to the customer to greet them and see what they needed. Only this time the customer was hesitating something fierce. Stammering in his words as well as not looking Minako in the eyes. She waited on the man patiently as she had a couple customers like this today. He wasn't the first and more than likely wouldn't be the last.
[2/4 Assistance]

Letting out a sigh Minako crossed her arms looking at the customer. It was at this time that the customer began to rethink this. He didn't quite know if he should go forth and ask for something like what he was wanting. It wasn't too much longer before he decided that it was a bad idea.
[3/4 Assistance]

Slowly he began to back out of the building with his eyes remaining upon Minako and the dwarf. Minako only thought this man extremely strange as he did so. Like he was trying to get the courage to do something stupid. Or something that the man knew he shouldn't be doing at all. Whatever the case may be she had kept him away from her sensei so he could continue his work.
[4/4 Assistance]

When the man finally left Minako went onto sweeping the area once more. Even though there wasn't much to sweep up it was habit at this point. She couldn't help it honestly as she was a clean freak. Was such a thing honestly bad in the first place? The dwarf didn't believe so at the very least.
[2/2 Preparation]

She continued her efforts as the dwarf went to turn the music back up. Hoping he could cheer his apprentice up to get her liveliness back. After all she made his work a lot more enjoyable than normal. He didn't know if that was something that was bad to admit or not but he didn't care either. She honestly livened the place up and he wanted to keep it that way.
[1/2 Preparation]

It took a while but the two of them waited for what seemed to be an eternity. It was curious as to why nothing was happenign at the current moment. The dwarf began to hum to himself awaiting on a customer so that they could do something. But then when no one was showing up an idea came to his mind. He would have to have her help him in another way.
[1/4 Assistance]

The dwarf called Minako over and told her to start heating metal as they waited on customers. So she went and began putting varying sizes in the furnace. Heating it up so they could treat it and shape it however they needed. The dwarf knew she was skilled and wasn't going to tell anyone anything else. Hell he wished he had a few apprentices like Minako.
[2/4 Assistance]

As they continued to wait no one came into the shop. This was a puzzling affair for the dwarf but he kept his spirits held high. After all he had learned from Minako that appearances were everything. Playing with his beard he danced slightly to the music as Minako kept the metal hot. She was doing exactly what was asked of her in the shop.
[3/4 Assistance]

The dwarf then told her to bring the metal out to let it cool. She did just that laying it in the water barrel next to the furnace. The hiss it created as she did so was like music to the dwarf's ears. Smiling as she did so he moved back to the front area. Sitting in a chair waiting on another customer to come into the buidling.
[4/4 Assistance]

As he did so Minako put the metal back where it belonged. In the rack with all the other metal so that they could use it down the road. There was no point in wasting any of the metal. Due tot he fact that metal in kumo was really freaking expensive in the first place. Something that Minako was starting to understand pretty quickly.
[2/2 Preparation]

Moving onto the next task she found various debris in the area. Moving to start sweep again the dwarf turned the music back up. Causing Minako to dance a little bit along with the music. The dwarf smiled as she seemed to be cheering up a bit. Something that was heart lifting within his mind honestly.
[1/2 Preparation]

He smiled brilliantly as she had seemed to really cheer back up. With not a moment to spare either as a customer entered the building with the ringing of the bell. She smiled and went ove rto him greeting him warmly. The customer was receptive to this and smiled back. Eased by how she was and ready to talk about what he wanted made from the armo rsmith.
[1/4 Assistance]

The man took a moment to keep his eyes on Minako. Then she knew what was goign on. He was imagining things about her, dirty things. Now her smile faded as she was annoyed by him. She wans't a toy to be played with she was here to work. Not entertain others so that they might have a good time.
[2/4 Assistance]

The man felt the vibe she was giving off and knew he messed up. Rubbing the back of his head he chuckled a bit before getting to the point. He spoke to her briefly about what she wanted and sighed. Not meaning to annoy her in the slightest with his actions. It seemed it was a bit late for that however.
[3/4 Assistance]

The customer had revealed that he wanted some horse shoes made for his stallion. He said it with a sense of pride as if the stallion was the bread and butter of his home. The truth of the matter was Minako was deathly afraid of horses. She hated them with every fiber of her being.
[4/4 Assistance]

Once more not much time went by as the objects were made. After they had cooled down she handed them to the customer and didn't wait for him to give his thanks. She was annoyed with the types like him. Always hitting on anything that they wanted to. She began to sweep the floor awaiting the next customer.
[2/2 Preparation]

Not much time went by as she was sweeping. Just the songs changing and the dwarf falling asleep in his chair. That was okay though as Minako kind of wanted to be left alone a bit. Not to the point of isolation however. Just maybe one or two people around would be more than enough for her.
[1/2 Preparation]

When the bell rang she saw a heavily armored man enter the smith. She hadn't a clue who he was but he waited at the front. Knowing better than to approach the smith directly. For fear that the apprentice would slice his head off for sure. Or at least where this individual came from they did such things.
[1/4 Assistance]

Minako moved to the front desk greeting the man and somthing odd happened. Than man honestly bowed before her in full armor. She didn't know why he did such a thing but didn't mind it either. She waited for him to stop before she said anything. A warm smile greeted the man in armor and he seemed to relax a bit.
[2/4 Assistance]

The man told her what he wanted and she smiled as it did sound like a challenge for once. Moving back to the smith she told the dwarf what must be made. A smile lit across the dwarf's face as finally a challenge had come their way. They were to make a shield that could transform into a bow. Although this merely meant they'd make the parts for the weapon smith.
[3/4 Assistance]

Niether of them seemed to care in the slightest as it gave them a challenge. Instantly they began to plot out measurements and so on. Eagerly moving onto the actual project itself. Heating the metal and forming it into the appropriate sizes. Something that excited the both of them to their hearts content.
[4/4 Assistance]

As they finished the last piece they let it cool down for a bit. Knowing that if they touched it at this point they'd burn themselves or worse. It didn't take long however and Minako grabbed the pieces and put them all into a container. Handing them over to the heavily armored man causing him to bow again. Minako smiled as the man had such manners and went to sweep everything back up real quick
[2/2 Preparation]

Moving onto the next stage of her training the dwarf would try something different with her. Instead he'd have her prepare everything but never assist. He wanted to know if she was brilliant enough to learn everything just by watching alone. So Minako did as she was told and nothing more this day. Moving through the shop and sweeping everything up.
[1/1 Preparation]

She knew that she had a long day ahead of her but didn't care. Today was going to be mostly easy as all she had to do was clean after all. Who didn't want a job like that where they got paid good to do it? Licking her lips she turned the music back on. Giving her something to be distracted by.
[1/1 Preparation]

Dancing a bit she moved through the store looking at the clenliness of it all. Not really caring about the customers as the smith didn't want her to worry about them. All he wanted was to get this place cleaneed up. Something that she could agree with entirely. Going so far as to wear white gloves and checking for dust.
[1/1 Preparation]

Whenever she found a patch of dust she eliminated it with the mighty duster. Sweeping all of it away onto the floor. Which annoyed her a little bit but she was just going to sweep again anyway. After all she had cleaned this place up so many times already. There was nothing to it at this point.
[1/1 Preparation]

She yawned a bit as she continued to dust. Not really feeling the flow of it anymore. Not really caring in the slightest about it either. Only caring about cleaning and watching her sensei work. The man was a genious when it came to metal and nothing less could be said. She smiled doing both tasks at once.
[1/1 Preparation]

The dwarf would look back over at her every once in a while to see her watching. He was pleased as this meant she wasn't daft in the slightest. Yet still eager to learn the tools of the trade. For her to learn by only watching was a miracle in his eyes. But he was going to test her for sure.
[1/1 preparation]

Through the course of the day he made many different things. Whether it be tools, appliances, or metal for weapons and armor he could do it. Also he did it all with ease by himself. It wasn't until then that Minako realized she was probably holding the old man back. Something she didn't want to do to him at all.
[1/1 Preparation]

When her favorite song came on Minako began to dance through the smith sweeping. Getting the dwarf to laugh at her antics and make the place livlier. Nothing wrong with that so long as work got done. The dwarf also knew that work would always get done with Minako there. He so wished he could keep her but knew she was also almost done with her training.
[1/1 Preparation]

He wouldn't dare hold someone back from completing their potential. After all to do such a thing would be monstrous in the eyes of any real grand master. Sneezing loudly Minako laughed at the dwarf and blessed him. This caused him to chuckle as he still watched her sweeping up the shop.
[1/1 Preparation]

Once they reached the end of the day she began to fix everything. Putting the tools in the right spots and putting out the furnaces and fires. She was humming again as she did so and grateful for this job. She had learned a lot as her time as a armor smith. Yet she knew she was almost done with her training for it.
[1/1 Preparation]

Coming in early in the morning Minako began lighting the fires to the shop. Knowing that today would be her last day of training. So she had to spruce this place up for the dwarf right? She smiled as she placed a thing of flowers at the front desk. Livening up the place just a bit more.
[1/1 Preparation]

She turned on the music as she was the only one there. Then began to dust everything yet again. Starting from the top and working her way down. Every once in a while inspecting something with a white glove. Her ocd was in full throttle at this point and time.
[1/1 Preparation]

Then she took cleaning liquids and began to spray it on the appropriate substances. Then wipe it down to give it a shining look to it. Making everything look brand new within the store. Something she knew that the dwarf would appreciate before she left. Honestly it looked like he's had everything for many, many years.
[1/1 Preparation]

Dancing more and more she got into a rhythm of things. Knowing what to do and when to do it. Currently she was still cleaning the furniture of the store. As she did so dust came flying out of everything she touched. Which only made her feel more needed.
[1/1 Preparation]

This store did need a woman's touch and how terribly so it did. She couldn't believe how filthy it had been before she had arrived there. It didn't make sense in her mind. But she was there now cleaning and that's all that mattered. Or at least in her mind currently that's all that mattered.
[1/1 Preparation]

Continuing her assault on the dust she was making a lot of head way at the moment. Then something crossed her mind. Why was she doing this all by herself? It didn't make sense in the slightest. So with a genuine smile upon her face she made a few clones to assist her.
[1/1 Preparation]

The clones moved through the store performing various tasks that she assigned them. Knowing that each had a role made things even better for all of them. It made the time go by a lot quick as well as each of them could focus on what was important to them. They would have this place fully cleaned in no time for the dwarf. A smile was plastered on all of their faces as they thought of him.
[1/1 Preparation]

A group of the Minako's began to clean without any one of them saying a word. As if they could communicate with their thoughts alone. Something that was impossible but they were all her. They all knew what they needed to do as they cleaned. Something that only came natural to her.
[1/1 Preparation]

Yawning a bit the real Minako was starting to get tired. She had come to the store really early in the morning to work on this. The dwarf wouldn't be in for another hour or so. She didn't intend on staying before he got here. After all she sucked with goodbyes so she wouldn't say goodbye at all.
[1/1 Preparation]

It wasn't long before they managed to clean everything up. The shop was spotless as the furnace was raging with heat. She smiled and wrote a small thank you note for him and placed it on the front desk. Knowing he would be here really soon she took her leave of the place. Never to come back as she had become a grand master of armor smithing now.

Minako went back to the elder to help him out one more time. He had been so sweet to her to reference her to other smiths. It was only fair that she helped him forge armor for his shop. Her hammer struck the metals shaping it in the fires.
[Actual Smithing 1/1]

She held a truly beautiful smile upon her face as she enjoyed this. Forming the armor before tossing it into the barrel of water. Quickly cooling it and hardening it.
[Actual Smithing 1/1]

Dancing a bit she went back over to the fire with a new metal piece. Gently working it with a hammer. Keeping her eye on the cackling flame.
[Actual Smithing 1/1]

Humming once more she began to sway her hips. Gently knowing full well that she mihgt get burnt. But it did nothing to halt her work.
[Actual Smithing 1/1]

Her sensei watched her work and was proud of what she could do. Knowing full well her works were far beyond anything he could od. But it wasn't anything to hold against her.
[Actual Smithing 1/1]

He began to teach her how to mark her work. So that from now on everyone would know what she could make. That they would keep coming back for more of her products.
[Actual Smithing 1/1]

It wasn't too much longer until he wasn't able to teach her anything else. Going so far as to compliment her emblem. Knowing she would go far as a smith.
[Actual Smithing 1/1]

She did one last thing for her sensei as she was forging something. A special metal plaque for his shop showing what it was. Understanding entierly that this would be the possible last time they would meet.

Minako was practically dancing through the area as she was looking at what to buy. She pointed at a few different items; Steel Arm Guards for 500 ryo, Steel Leg Guards for 500 ryo, and had chakra rebound boots refurbished into the leg guards for 3500 ryo. "Thank you~" she smiled and giggled about as she left with her new items.

The man calling himself Akayama arrived the destination quickly enough and stood outside a shop known as the Brass Gauntlet. Inside would be where the boy's training began. But first he had a briefing for him.

Kisuke walks along behind the man called Akayama, his eyes focused on him and Fang was looking around at all the people. They looked at each other wondering what they could possibly be doing here for training. They stopped at the entrance of the brass gauntlet. He then waited for more instructions.

Not wasting any time at all, Akayama looked to Kisuke and his dog. Pulling out a small scroll from his jacket pouch he released it and suddenly a clear bag containing a headband was revealed. "Several days ago a genin stole a gauntlet from the shop here and then left his headband at the gates." The man held it out the bag for Kisuke to exam. There was an large and obvious gash through the leaf symbol. "I'm going to leave it up to you how we proceed, but I will answer your questions regarding the case if you ask me in a direct fashion."

Kisuke listened intently about the genin leaving the village and slashing his headband."I don't like to assume, so correct me if I am wrong. Our goal is to track him down right?"It was something his father taught him. When doing something, you needed a clear objective. Visualize yourself doing it, and then proceed to doing it. He would wait for Akayama's response before doing so but Kisuke would reached out for the bag, if the Akayama allowed him he would take it. He would then sniff the inside contents of the bag. And he would allow Fang to do the same. Fang would then sniff Akayama just to know his scent and distinguish it from what he just smell. Fang then headed into the shop and Kisuke spoke."Whats the profile for the Genin? Gender? Name? Where did he live?" Kisuke would then walk into the shop with Fang, he would walk over by the gauntlet sections to start inspecting everything. He could see Fang working hard to find the scent. After Akayama confirmed what exactly their objective was he would go speak with the owner.

"Yup, a core duty of the Oinin is to track down those that abandon the village. Depending on how things go that might be all we do, it might not be." His reply was straight forward and to the point. When Kisuke reached for the bag, it was handed over without complaint. Akayama would simply stand by and watch Kisuke, clearly he was content to sit back and observe. "Higashi Hyuuga, male, the shinobi quarter of the residential district. A youth with red hair, approximately age eighteen."

Kisuke was speaking with the owner, simply asking him where he remembered the buy standing. he pointed to the corner near the gauntlets. Kisuke and Fang focused their attention in that area. And soon after Fang perked his ears and intensely sniffed. He was able catch the scent, and he began walking out the door and towards the gates.
