Foraging for Danger.

The light peaking over the edge of the canopy as Shiro would adjust the strap for his bag looking around the entrance of Konohagakure his eyes searching from left to right looking at every bit of foliage there may be as he continues onward into the forest. As minutes turn to hours and the patience begins to run then Shiro would let out a sigh before pausing as his head would lift slightly as he hears rapid steps approaching from behind, no in the trees. Turning suddenly as he'd look towards the branches of the trees looming above he'd see a figure leaping from branch to branch in his direction, leaping up suddenly Shiro would wait for the Shinobi to land on the branch just across from him as they stopped. " Ohaiyo. " The Shinobi would look Shiro over suspiciously for a moment before they'd cough slightly " Ohaiyo, excuse me Im fairly busy. " The young man would state as he'd leap on the branch next to Shiro before leaping onwards once again though he'd look to his side to see Shiro leaping from branch to branch next to him though visibly focusing on his footing as he'd land on each branch, " Ano, I don't mean to bother you but I'm looking for two specific types of vegetation. Do you have any idea where I could find a plant of Rosary Pea, and Belladona? " as he said the names of the two plants he'd stop suddenly and look towards Shiro. " What's your name kid ? " Stopping on the branch next to him Shiro would stagger slightly to maintain his balance. " Hagiwara, Shiro. Im a student from Sunagakure. " Looking Shiro over the man would sigh out slightly. " If you're really a Hagiwara, Show me your puppet. " Shiro would stare at the man hesitantly, given that he was always taught to never reveal all your cards but seemed like the man needed some form of undisputable evidence of his claim. " Hai... " raising a hand from his side he'd unclip a scroll that hung on the inside of his mantle. As the scroll fell into his hand he'd quickly draw the scroll open chakra enveloping the scroll as it'd hover in the air before him and he'd lock in a single handseal as he'd release the seal on the scroll the puppet appearing on the branch next to him, each limb freely dangling next to him overhanging the tree branch as the body of the puppet laid back towards his leg and his hand would rest on the top of the Puppets shaggy hair. " This is Crow. " Attaching his strings he'd twitch his finger as the puppets head would lift up and tilt looking towards the Konohagakure Shinobi. Grinning slightly the man would hop up to his feet laughing. " Thats awesome boy-o. Come, come I'll show you around some of my spots. You see, Im a bit of a forager myself. " He'd laugh again as he'd leap down to the ground motioning Shiro to follow, leaping down Shiro would reseal Crow back into the scroll and ravel the scroll back up, increasing his stride to catch up next to the man. " Soo ka, but these are rather dangerous vegetation do you not find it odd that I'm looking for these ? " The man looks to Shiro as he caught up and shakes his head slightly, " Not really, with you being a puppeteer I actually understand the concept your getting at. Though careful, you don't want many to know what is in your cocktail boy-o. " Nodding slightly in response to the man. " Im sure it'd take a while until I'm thoroughly complete with it anyways.. " pointing to the side of Shiro the man would calmly state " Theres a bushel of Belladona. Careful the leaves themselves can cause skin irritation. " nodding slightly in response Shiro would reach down into his bag grabbing out a long pair of gloves and begin to slowly work his hand down towards the small base of the plant, moving his hand from side to side slightly to break up the loose dirt and calmly dig some of the dirt free, trying to spot the biggest root of the plant as he'd begin to work his kunai down deep beneath the plant cutting the plant free but pulling the plant from the ground leaving the main root of the plant untouched. Drawing out another scroll and place the plant ontop of the seal he'd lock in the seal as the plant would disappear. Glancing back slightly Shiro would blink looking around as no one was there. " Hello ? " silence fell on him as the man had disappeared and Shiro remained in the depths of Konohagakure. Sighing slightly Shiro would stand looking towards the vegetation of the growth of moss on the trees and begins to retrace his steps moving back towards Konohagakure and away from the suspicious area.
