It was a long journey to the sand, so Luke had time to think, but he also decided to do a quick mission on route to the sand. There were reports of a local village on route to the sand being attacked by what they claimed to be a giant boar whenever they tried to get into the forest to gather resources and food. Luke would head there to assist in their issue and once there, found one of the village's council members, a tough looking guy by the name of Mabashi, spotting him and Luke gave a small gesture of hello with a wave.
"I'm aware you have a bit of a boar problem, care to fill me in?" Luke asked, trying to get straight to the point. Mabashi nodded, he was quite eager to get this thing over and done with.
"Sure thing; The boars tend to live up in the hillside, near this cave and any time we send men to go gather stuff from the forest, they sniff us out and attack us, guarding it," Mabashi explained and Luke raised a eyebrow; there were more then one boar attacking, the mission report failed to note that there was multiple boars. But it didn't matter really; Luke would simply adapt to it, it was the best quality a ninja could have.
"I see; I'll handle it, I'll be back soon once they are dealt with," Luke told him, trying to reassure him of his success before heading off in the direction he was given by Mabashi. it was high in the hills above the village, but eventually, he reached the site of the attacks, a open clearing where herbs were growing, which made sense to why the villagers came here, but then he heard snorting before a large boar came out from the cover of the forest, about the size of a large child in height, but probably twice as heavy. It didn't look too happy, snorting with anger in its eyes before charging forward at Luke. Digging his legs into the ground, Luke opened his arms up before grabbing the boar by its tusks, using his strength to push against it as he was pushed along the ground by the boar, before Luke managed to gain the upper hand and stop the boar and with one fluid motion, flipped the boar onto its back. However, it seemed like that was a ploy as the other boars were now coming out, coming forward to attack Luke, meaning they weren't as dumb as Luke thought, but he wasn't about to be beaten by a pack of hairy pigs.
He sparked with energy before he burst with chidori stream, sending waves of lightning chakra at the boars coming at them with the signature sound of a thousand birds chirping, electrocuting the other four boars before they collapsed, dead on the ground. The lead boar finally managed to get up as the smell of burnt meat came from the four dead boars, the boar looked to see a little boar, the boar's son, looking angrily at Luke and charged at Luke, his resolve renewed by his son, but he suddenly got a lightning endued kunai embedded inside his skull, killing him as blood ran across the boar's face and Luke watched the boar collapse in front of his booted feet. The little one stopped his attack as he watched his father die. Luke looked at the little boar, his body covered in lightning.
"I don't really care if you can understand me, but leave, I have no want to kill the young, but leave and do not return," Luke snapped at the boar and the little one got the message, running from the battlefield and hopefully never coming back to this village again. Luke then went around with his blade, stabbing the throats of the boars to make sure they were dead before tying them up with a rope he had taken from the village and wrapped them together before putting them on his back and huffing them onto his back before heading down the slop. It was tough, trying to carrying all of the boars at once down a incline, so the journey took much longer then he expected, but eventually, he arrived back at the village, dumping the boars at the market square.
"woah, not bad, carrying all those boars here; guess your worth the money after all, here's the mission contract, consider it paid for," Madashi explained, handing the signed mission contract to Luke before taking the boars to the market to get them prepared for food and whatever you use boars for. Luke tucked the money into his bag and the contract in there too before setting off for the lands of sand and the hidden desert village where he hoped the kage was receiving medical treatment.
