Another day, another mission. And this one had no potential for injury by stupid people! Probably. Ashitaka wore his armor and all of his weapons anyway, both to get used to doing so and because he'd previously been told that it was generally a good idea. He took this mission because he wanted to get more familiar with Konoha's general layout, and it certainly helped with that. Before he started, he bought a sectored map of the village and marked out the districts with their address sets. Then he drew a route on it that would allow him to reach all of the destinations he was supposed to bring deliveries to that day in one clean, if winding, path. His decision to do this had him start almost half an hour after the other genin who were similarly tasked. However, he finished at least two hours before everyone else and returned with his satchel empty in the early afternoon rather than late evening.
His reward for this accomplishment was more work. Namely, he was sent back out to track down the other mail-ninja and help them make their deliveries in a more or less timely manner. This assistance went starkly without appreciation because at first they thought he was so useless that they were being forced to babysit him, and it was worse when they learned that he was so far ahead of them that he was being forced to hold their hands. Worse still was all of the adults they delivered to also thinking that the former was the case and further salting the wounds his presence caused the older genin he was escorting. Still, the mission was accomplished by the end of the day, and everyone got their pay and sent home.
