It had been some time since Rotwang's latest adventures and these ones had come in the form of his completion of his puppet armor followed by the team training/evaluation meeting that he had been made to participate in by his commanding officer, Shigo Kazehana. Since then, Rotwang had gotten back to his usual daily routine which consisted of a rather tightly scheduled set of events which invariably took him away from his one true love, that being his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research. This was, of course, because those activities had consisted of things such as assisting his parents with further establishment of the roots of their business conglomerate, aka SteinCorp, in the Land of Earth and more specifically in Iwa, meeting and mingling with the heirs and heiresses of various clans and other business families based in this new home of theirs, getting ever more practical experience in overseeing product development and testing, and so on.

So, time marched on for Rotwang thusly until the present day wherein he had barricaded himself within the confines of his lab that was located in the basement of the central mansion in his family's estate once again, the purpose for this being of course, the resumption of his his one true love, that being his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research. However, this period of peace and quiet did not last long for him since he was called to action once again, with the reason this time being a mission notice missive that had arrived for him from the Tsuchikage's office

Hmm...vat iss nov?...A mezzage from zomeone, perhepz?...Or iss it...zome mizzife?...Eizzer vay...I do hope it dozz not end up beink too troublesome...

Rotwang thought silently as he stirred from beneath the veritable mountain of countless research notes on various subjects of interest that he was currently buried under in his own private research lab located in the basement of his family mansion. Then, after he finally managed to drag himself out from underneath said pile of research notes, he perused the note that he had sensed someone leave on the table in the corner and upon doing so, he realized it was a missive informing him about his current task, namely a series of missions that he had been ordered to complete by the mission department of The Tsuchikage's Complex

Ah...zome zolo mizzionz zen, I zee...fife in total...zey seem razzer schtraightforwart undt a genin like meinzelf vould be azzigned zuch mizzionz ez per ze administratife S.O.P, I zuppoze...fery vell zen...I do need efer more fundink fur mein rezearch, after all...zo might ez vell komplete zese undt kollekt ze payment fur zem...

Rotwang thought silently as he read through the missive and memorized the details of the missions so that he would not have to carry the scroll around with him. Then, he readied himself in his now standard fashion of donning some basic clothing first, then equipping his Talos Mk-I puppet armor over them, and finally donning his usual scientist's attire consisting of his polarized lab goggles which he wore on his head followed by a white lab coat which had chemical stains on some parts of it along with other signs of wear and tear that was to be expected of such an attire piece of a budding mad scientist like him that he wore on his upper torso, a light-colored formal shirt with a necktie having a knot done in classic Eldredge fashion that he wore beneath the lab coat, dark-colored formal pants that he wore over his lower torso and legs, and finally...a pair of light-colored surgical gloves that he wore on his hands and which had similar chemical stains as his lab coat and his dark-colored patent leather shoes that he wore as footwear.

Of course, he did realize that this was highly unorthodox for a ninja to wear, but he was not one to care about adherence to convention, so he did not pay it any mind, but instead, he headed out to rendezvous point for the first of the missions mentioned in the missive after informing his family's support staff where he would be for the day.

Rotwang had arrived at the first mission client's residence which was the site of said mission and found the client waiting for him at the front door. So, he headed up to him to report in so that he could get this first mission underway

"Greetinkz. I, Rotwang, am ze nincha vho hez been azzigned to hentle your reqfest fur azziztence in buildink zat fence you vanted to place around your property. Zo, if you vould lead ze vay to vere you haf ze materialz gezzered fur zis D.I.Y. prochect, I kan schtarted immediately, zir."

As expected, Rotwang saw this first client of his show the same sort of reaction to his thick, clearly foreign, and seemingly incomprehensible accent that he had observed his teammates show as a response to hearing it back when he first met them at The Tsuchikage Complex when he was finally assigned to said team. However, said mission client did not protest outwardly or react as negatively as they had done...perhaps in the interests of not inviting any trouble onto their family for having insulted a member of the Iwa military unwittingly. That said, Rotwang did not pay it any mind but instead brought the client's mind back to the task at hand, namely the undertaking of their request to the Iwa administration for assistance in their fence building project, and fortunately for him, the client did not take too long to refocus on said project.

Then, Rotwang found himself being led to the shed on the client's property wherein the client had already gathered all the materials that would be necessary to construct this fence around their property from the wood to the nails to the carpentry tools and everything else in between too. So, once the client had left him to work on handling their request, he proceeded to get started then and there by envisioning all the steps necessary for completing this project, from start to finish. Once that was complete, he then began to construct each of the subsections of the fence so that he could transport them to the designated worksite more efficiently. He built each of these subsections in identical fashion one after another, specifically by first cutting the wood into the slew of perfectly rectangular planks which he was able to accomplish because he ensured to compose a standard set of dimensions for them first by using the measuring equipment. Then, for the next step, he set that stack of planks aside and got to work on the fence posts. For these, first, he carved a set of logs into perfect cylinders, once again because he ensured to first compose a standard set of dimensions for them as he had done when he was carving the rectangular planks which would form the main body of the fence

Now zen...zat schould zuffice fur ze plenkz undt fence poztz vich I vill be uzink to build zis fence, undt zo, ze next schtep in zis prochect iss to kreate zlotz in ze fence poztz so zat I kan fit ze plenkz into zem to enzure ze fence's schtruktural integrity...        

After Rotwang finished carving those logs into perfect cylinders, he paused to think silently about the next step thus for a brief few moments. Then, he carved one end of each of these wooden cylinders into a sharp-tipped cone so that he could insert them into the ground more easily and then carved rectangular slots in them that were each wide enough to accommodate the planks that would be going into them comfortably so that he could avoid exerting himself too much, and once again, he managed to carve every one of these slots in each of the fence posts in an identical fashion since he took the time and put in the effort of ensuring that he composed a standard set of dimensions for them first by using the measuring equipment. Once this step was complete, for the next step he inserted each of the planks into the previously mentioned slots that he had made in their respective fence posts and hammered in the nails to hold them in place, again managing to set them at identical intervals time and again since he took the time and put in the effort of ensuring that he composed a standard set of dimensions for them by using the measuring equipment first.

Finally, he gathered up these fence subsections, transported them to the intended place for said fence, and finished this fence building project by setting them into the ground around the client's property at evenly spaced intervals from each other, all the while ensuring that that he left adequate overlap between the ends of the planks so that he could connect them to each other with the nails he had remaining, after which point, he installed the gate at the spot that the client had indicated in their instructions, and thus finished this first mission among the 5 that he had been assigned to complete as part of his genin field experience.

Once Rotwang had finished the first of his 5 mission series which had involved him constructing a fence for the client, he headed back to the client to report the completion of this mission and so that he could immediately get to work on the next mission in this series since he had noticed that it was for him to paint the fence he had just set up for said client

"Ze fence zat you haf reqfested to be built fur you hez been konztrukted kompletely in a zukkzezzful manner...zo, if you feel inklined to inzpekt mein vork, you may do that now."

Rotwang informed the client and then fell silent to hear their response, but instead of immediately heading out to check his work, the client informed him that the inspection would be performed after the second related mission of painting the fence was also completed to their satisfaction. After that, Rotwang followed the client's lead to head to the place where the required paints along with brushes were kept on their property. Upon arrival, the client gave him some final instructions as to their preferences for the paint job which they wanted him to apply to the fence that he had constructed for them earlier during the first mission and then, he was left to finish said work. So, first, Rotwang gathered the painting supplies and transported them to the worksite wherein he set them up at evenly spaced intervals in front of the sections that he would be painting with them, with the guides for these intervals being the fence posts that held up said fence, of course.

Then, he started from the dead center of the fence which he determined by measuring the relevant dimensions and after ensuring to get a thoroughly even coat of paint on the brush and can he had set up at that location, he began applying said paint in even, perfectly controlled strokes each time and so, he managed to spread the paint coat over the entirety of that subsection of the fence in a perfectly even manner from end to end. Finally, once that was complete, Rotwang repeated this same process over and over...again and again for each of the other subsections of the fence he had built for the client and thus, managed to complete this second of the 5 mission series he had been assigned as well after which point, he headed back to the client and reported in to said client for collecting the proof of mission completion for each of these two preliminary missions.

After Rotwang pocketed the proof of mission completion for the fence building and painting missions that he had just completed, he then excused himself from the client's presence and headed off into the heart of Iwagakure since that was the site of the next two missions in the 5 mission series that had been assigned to him

Now zat ze fence-related mizzionz haf been kompleted, ze next two vere...ah, ja...ze von vich infolfed kleanink up all ze trasch undt filzz zat hez been buildink up on zese schtreets in ze kommercial diztrikt uff Iwa...undt zen...zere vas zat fendor who had reqfezted azziztance in ze adminiztration uff his schtore...

Rotwang mulled over the next couple of missions thus as he recalled the details of said missions as he headed over to the overseer of the public works department in charge of that section of Iwa to report in so that he could commence these next two missions. Once he did that, he was handed the street cleaning tools that he would be needing such as brooms and dustpans as well as garbage bags for the bigger pieces of trash along with cleaning solutions and mops that were to be used for removing the filth. He took all these and headed back into the streets of Iwa's commercial district and got down to work. The first thing that he did to begin this street cleanup mission was to go around in a Z-track fashion from the left side of streets to right side, and while he did this, he focused on picking up the larger piece of the garbage and trash that were littered about all around him. The reason why he used this method of cleanup was, of course, so he did not miss anything

Vat iss it vith zese people uff Iwa undt zeir penchant fur makink zeir schtreets zo dirty?...I vas unter ze imprezzion zat zuch a zink vas a krime az per ze fillage kode...how irkzome zis iss to undertake...but...a mizzion iss a mizzion, I zuppoze...zo zere iss no zenze in me komplainink about zuch vork...oh vell...

Rotwang grumbled silently thus in his mind about the level of garbage and filth that he had noticed while he was doing this cleanup, but then refocused his attention on said cleanup mission which he was nearly done with by this point. Then, Rotwang proceeded ahead to the trash and garbage that was too small to pick up easily and for these, he used the broom to sweep them into the dustpan, and of course, here again he employed the Z-track method in doing this so as to avoid missing any spot. Finally, to finish this street cleanup mission, he went around again in this same Z-track fashion and this time, he began spraying the cleaning solution onto the streets in a thoroughly even coat and then used the mop to scrub all of them till each one was immaculately spotless to a level that would meet with his approval and then, he set about washing away all the dirty liquid that had built up from his scrubbing towards and then into the drain system which had been installed into the sides of these streets. After surveying his handiwork one last time, Rotwang then went to report back to the overseer of the public works department and collected proof of mission completion for this mission he did for them and once he excused himself from the overseer's presence, he headed off to the designated store for which the owner was the client for the next mission on his list.

Upon reaching the store in question, Rotwang found the owner of said store waiting for him and so, he reported in and underwent the small tutorial that said owner provided for him about manning the store as per the mission details. Furthermore, he was also given a grand tour of the store so that he could be acquainted with where everything was located, and for both of these, he memorized all the information he was provided with by the store owner. Once that was over, he was left to commence his mission of manning the store while the owner was busy elsewhere, and so, that was exactly the thing he did now

Hmm...it iss qfite fortuitouz a zink fur me to haf been born into a businezz family...for it iss only zanks to zuch a background...zat I already know ze zekretz uff akqfirink a great deal uff profitz undt how to attract kustomerz to schtorez properly...

Rotwang mused thus silently while he commenced his work of attending to the counter of this shop as per his mission directive. Despite his efforts, however, the shop had a slow start to the various customers trickling in in the initial phase of this mission of his, but as the hours went by, ever more customers started to come in until it was essentially rush hour and so, by that point, he was almost completely overwhelmed since he was the only one who had been manning the counter while the owner of the store had been busy elsewhere with whatever was on the agenda that day. Still, with some clever organization of the customers into separate lanes to keep them from milling about the store aimlessly while waiting to be rung up and with a little more effort put into assisting all the customers in finding their intended purchases and so on, Rotwang found that he was indeed able to handle even this enormous volume of traffic that the store which he was assisting ended up seeing toward the end of the this specific mission.

Finally, after all the customers had been dealt with and handled adequately, Rotwang's mission at the store was complete at last. Naturally, he had ensured that he had brought in more than enough profit while the store owner was away that said owner did not have anything to comment on other than to thank him for his assistance before handing him the proof of mission completion. Once that was over, Rotwang excused himself from the store owner's presence and headed off to the last stop on his 5 mission series, the giant patch of farmland which he was apparently supposed to assist the farmers in tilling for preparing it to host the next batch of crops.

Upon reaching the farmland in question, Rotwang found the owner of said farmland waiting for him and so, he reported in and underwent the small tutorial that said owner provided for him about manning the tilling equipment as per the mission details. Furthermore, he was also given a grand tour of the farmland so that he could be acquainted with where everything was located, and for both of these, he memorized all the information he was provided with by the owner. Once that was over, he was left to commence his mission of tilling the farmland while the owner was busy elsewhere, and so, that was exactly the thing he did now

After zis mizzion iss ofer...I schould be free to return to mein von true pazzion...mein mozt belofed experimentz, rezearch, undt zo on...o ye Norns, I bezeech you...pleaze enzure zat zis mizzion iss alzo kompleted vizzout any undue delay...

Rotwang sighed briefly while thinking thus silently as he went along from field to field to till each of them. Naturally, he performed this tilling process in the same Z-track fashion that he had used for the street cleanup he had done earlier during this 5 mission series. The reason here was the same as the one for the street cleanup, namely, that he did not want to leave himself vulnerable to any missing field spots by the end of this tilling process. That said, since this final mission involved the most arduously back-breaking manual labor on his part, Rotwang was completely and utterly tired by the end of the day by which point, he had just barely managed to stay on his feet after having finished tilling the last field in the unnecessarily enormous complex. At any rate, Rotwang was finally done with all 5 of the missions that he had been assigned to complete by the day's end and so, he went back to the farmland owner's residence to report in for collecting proof of mission completion from said owner for this mission as well. Finally, since he was free to go, he pocketed this last mission completion proof and after excusing himself from the farmland owner's presence, he then headed off to The Tsuchikage Complex to submit said proofs for each of the five completed missions and collected his payment for each one. Once that was over, he excused himself one last time and headed off to his family's estate and back to his lab so that he could refresh himself and then get back to his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research.
