His hunting trip had been nothing less than a success, resulting in new found strength and glory. The Amphibian creature had been a worthy challenge, especially since Kazan had forsaken his Chakra and techniques in the attempt. Once victorious, and after gaining a new friend along the way, Kazan set his sights on accomplishing something else that had been requested of him. Back before he left home, he was given a brief assignment to locate a specific plant and bring it back. This was apparently one of those generic tasks, given how rare and elusive this plant was. To him, there was no immediate need for this plant, though he was always up for a challenge.
Several days would pass as Kazan explored the heartland. During this time, he'd hunt deer and fish to his hearts galore; after all, the was his original reasons for being out in the wilderness. This mission was just a way to make some extra cash, and perhaps gain some notoriety. Still, while he did take the time to enjoy himself, he dedicated a couple hours a day to this search. Deducing there weren't any in this area, he decided to pack up his camp and move further into the jungle. This time, crossing the river where he had previously fought a monstrous amphibian, and and heading west for a few miles. The change of scenery was nice, though he would miss seeing the river otters play in the morning while riverside.
As nightfall began to come, he rushed to find a clearing ideal for his campsite. Having spent most of the day walking, and in search, he had completely lost track of time. With his tarp tied overhead, his sleeping bag laid out, and a roaring campfire lite, he sat down to eat. The new area he was in was unusually dark, compared to his last campsite at least. Though, that was largely due to his new campsite being more deeply nestled in-between several trees; the branches and leaves overhead seemingly blocked out moon and stars. He wasn't quite sure if he preferred it like this or not, but for the time being he had to settle.
The rest of his night would go pretty smoothly as he laid in his sleeping bag and counted the fireflies overhead. They seemed to like hanging around under the tarp he strung up; for tonight at least, these bugs would be his stars. As the sun peeked it's head over the horizon, Kazan quickly woke and got ready for the day, only to go out in search once again. Hours would pass, till Kazan found himself once again by a river. This time, leaning his right shoulder onto a tree overhanging the rivers edge, he sighed as he watched several small fish swim about. This rare and elusive plant was harder to find than he had originally thought.
Reaching down into his armor and pulling out the folded up drawing of this plant, he stared at it intently. "Four leaf's with an odd sprout in the middle. It's has curled roots." He thought, while examining the sketch. Folding it back up and shoving it back into his armor, he looked back towards the small fish swimming about in the river. Sighing as he watched them swim back and fourth, he eventually started looking around just to be aware of his surroundings. Though in that moment, he noticed the plant from the sketch sitting on the other side of the rivers edge, hanging over the surface of the water.
His eyes widened as he focused his chakra into the soul of his feet and went to retrieve it. It had four leaf's and a weird sprout, just like the sketch. Drawing his blade, and slashing the ground around it, he watched it plop into the water. Using his Gravity Ninjutsu, he slung it into the air, extended out his blade, and sat it down upon it. Just like in the sketch, the roots were curled. With a smirk on his face, he headed back to his campsite to properly store the plant.
Having spent many days in the wilderness, both hunting for animals and for this plant, he had decided it was time to head back to the village. He had no idea how long a plant like this would last being plucked from the ground, so there was no point in risking it.
