Decimus just left the Kusagakure through the gates and was heading towards Aokusa. Since it was the capital city of kusa no kuni Decimus knew where it was. Decimus himself was wearing a camouflage pants, dark brown shoes, dark green T-shirt and a brown vest. On top of this he was wearing a belt with all kinds of utility pouches stocked with weapons. On his left he held the sheath of his rapier with the rapier inside. On top of his vest he was wearing an additional tactical vest with all kinds of pouches as well on to top it off Decimus carries around an assault pack. Last not least his headband was tied around his neck.

Decimus had his 6 kunai's, 64 caltrops, 60 bo shurikens, 60 hira shuriken, googles with night vision, binoculars with night vision and zooming, additional binoculars with zooming only, compass and small scrolls on him. He had them with him just in case despite travelling in his own country.

Decimus crossed several interesting lands marks and saw some forests and grasslands he could use on his way back for gathering herbs. He took note of them before arriving at the perimeters of Aokusa. He was instructed to stop by the embassy first by Vladimir in the Kusakage keep. Remembering this this would be his first stop after entering the city!

Luck is on your side, for the compass actually worked, as a compass.


Welcome to Aokusa (moved~)

Once Decimus arrived in Aokusa without trouble. He asked around where to find the embassy. First few people did not know all to weel and only gave general directions. But when he got closer Decimus was able to find the embassy. It was his first stop in Aokusa. After which he would go to the shop and leave again. A short stop but an effective shop according to Decimus.

After shopping Decimus had no business left in Aokusa. It was time to continue his journey. He had to still pick up some books and gather the herbs he needed. He got a map now which made him somewhat more confident about not getting lost. Decimus walked to the city perimeter and looked behind him and thought to himself: 'What a nice place.' Decimus then grabbed his compass and map to make sure he went the right way as he traveled outwards.

After leaving Aokusa Decimus wondered around a bit and wanted to see what was around. He grabbed his binoculars and started scouting the lands. After scouting for a bit Decimus spotted a house in the distance. He decided to inspect it. It took some minutes before he arrived but when he did he found out it was a shop. Decimus entered the shop in search for his books.

After shopping Decimus decided it was time to start searching for some nuts. According to his new bought book, spanish nuts can be found in forest and Decimus happened to be in a forest. He started to walk by the different trees while holding the book with a picture to find the nuts he was looking for. After several failures he ought to have some luck but it took some time as he was not the best at this yet.

Spanish nut found !

[hoshisame]

Halfway through looking for spanish nuts, Decimus decided he should not tempt fate with just a book. It was time to go home or at least find home. Decimus put away his book and grabbed his map and compass. He knew where Aokusa is and Decimus knew in what direction his village was. He started to walk hoping he wouldn't go off trail and get lost.

Decimus somehow found his way in one shot. In the distance he saw the gates to kunagakure. He started to wlak over enjoying his last few seconds outside. But he knew he would becoming back soon. He first had to put some effort into studying however.

Shortly after entering the Kusagakure Decimus headed out again. He once again started to look for Spanish nuts. This time he had some more knowledge and he kept using his book as a reference. He started to walk by the trees hoping he would spot the nuts and if he did he would walk up to them for closer inspection.

You find 20 doses of spanish nut

[hoshisame]

After finding the first batch of spanish nuts Decimus started to harvest them. Since it had quite a few, he took some doing it. He put them away in his bag and made sure no harm was done to the tree so it could grow new ones next year.

After that Decimus kept on walking along the trees. He needed a second batch and was not planning on waiting. He kept identifying tree after tree. Sometimes he came across maple trees and sometimes across birch. It was a nice forest but Decimus needed a specific tree that held Spanish nuts. If he woud think he found one, he would inspect them more closely.

20 more doses of spanish nuts

Please keep your total somewhere so staff can confirm what you have when you're done.

Current total is 40 Doses.

[hoshisame]

After spotting another Spanish nuts tree, Decimus once again started to gather the nuts from the tree. He carefully grabbed the nuts as he put them away again in his bag. One by one he grabbed the nuts with care as he enjoyed this manual labor during this weather. After getting the last few needed he climbed out of the tree and started to continue his search.

Just like before he started to scan each of the trees trying to spot nuts among the leaves. If Decimus were to find some nuts in a tree, he would go to that tree and give them a closer inspection to see if they were Spanish Nuts. If they were not Decimus would continue to search for the next tree and repeat the process.

20 more doses of spanish nut

[hoshisame]

After finding another tree Decimus harvested the nuts once again. Right now he had quite a lot and this should make it a profitable run while also being able to finish his mission. It will take a while before he will be out again but that is fine.

Decimus started to return to the gates of Kusagakure. It took him a while but with his map and compass it wasn't hard. After a nice walk he spotted the gates in the distance and headed towards it.
