Godric looking through the village for another tree. This time it was the much sought after Saddillia tree. It was something he had found before and his nose attuned to it. He was already barking up trees to see if they were the trees. Looking for them in mass, he simply gave a sniff and moved onto the next. Shunshin made this task a little easier as time did not melt away from walking. Covering much ground was a simple thing and many trees were sniffed.

Godric continued his personal mission to find what he needed. He looked for more trees to sniff. Cause that is definitely his thing right now. Under the cover of darkness he was sniffing trees. Any trees that were near him he shunshined to them and gave a good sniff. Because with already finding one he knew exactly what they smelled like, and he was really good at it. Though the rarity of this plant, he was wondering if he would ever sniff one again...

Most likely he had not found one yet. But if he did, for sure he would harvest the nuts and place a Hiraishin seal upon it. So in the end he could sell the tree and nuts. So he continued to sniff trees, like a dog needing to pee. Each tree he could find he sniffed. Even if it did not match the description perfectly he sniffed a tree. He took out Rotchi and asked him to point him in a good direction. Throwing the empty milk carton into the air and following the direction. He would complement Rotchi either way thinking the milk carton for it's infinite wisdom.

[Waru]

The Saddillia was a particularly difficult tree to find. You found a plethora of tree, but not the one you sought. Even relying on your trusty milk carton he seemed to be at a loss for what you truly had sought, only pointing towards you after his toss.

Of course Rotchi didn't find it. That smug face on the empty milk carton just staring at Godric. He continued on as finding more trees was a simple task. Identifying the correct tree was another simple task, he smelled them for the most part. The look of them also gave it away. The leaf shape he always checked, and of course the color of the bark. Many factors with the tree as he checked it. Finally he went to the top of this tree to scope out the next target.

Casting Wings of the Planes, Godric was about to make this easier still. Gliding from one tree to the next Godric was searching for another potential tree. The next one he found was a rather large one but it looked at first similar to a Saddillia tree. Checking the usual he wondered if he would just be that lucky to find it. If not he continued one his way.

From one tree to the next, Godric flew to it. He was starting to notice squirrels chattering becoming disturbed with his presence. With his umbrella over him, covering his body from the sun he swiped at a few to shut them up. He held a leaf in hand from this next tree as he did this. Checking this leaf and then the tree itself for the usual signs.

One would figure looking for trees would get dull after a while. BUT not for Godric. He loved looking at trees, after the one hundredth tree he has looked it and checked he wasn't even phased. Godric could see though he had his doubts about this one. A sour face only meant he was happy to look for another one. He was really getting into it as he enthusiastically went to the next. This one had promise so he bit into the leaf just to make sure, tearing it apart...

Godric gave a huff. If this one was not it then he did not know what. Which made no sense but nor did his thirst for trees. Cause the next tree looked like a good one, he looked at Rotchi and threw him up in the air. "Rotchi tell me my future!" he proclaimed as the milk carton came back down. He watched it then looked up to the tree to see if it was correct.

[Waru]

As the milk carton came down a strange phenomenon occurred. The carton landed on its head spinning about in a circle before finally stopping. It remained standing on it's head relaying a strange message to its companion, as the face on the carton stared blankly at the man.

Yep Godric was only slightly annoyed, but it was fine. He continued on with finding trees. One after another he looked for the trees. There were many that didn't even come close to what he was looking for but he continued on just the same. Looking at Rotchi as he found something that possibly looked to be what he was looking for. A familiar action of smelling the tree then checking its leaves.

The effect lasts for a 1 day, after which it fades again (minus 1 every days), although there is a 10% chance the effect is permanent. Around the tree there are often animals (squirrels, salmon) who eat the nuts on a regular basis, and are therefore quite nimble, quick, and rumor has it able to possess Chakra techniques.

Godric moved on to the next grove of trees. He took a rather strategic approach to this one. Starting in a clockwise motion then circling around. Each tree he checked he looked for the signs. A smell here a leaf check there, each time he would see if it matched up with the standard look of the Saddillia tree. A few of them he asked Rotchi if this was the tree he was looking for.

It was as if Godric was some sort of peon working to collect wood resource. Moving from one tree to another, not too many fit the bill at this points. He could count on one hand the possible ones he had found. But the next one he came upon was similar to what he was looking for. Checking the bark and even taking a bit of it so that the smell could be released a bit better. Godric checked the tree's leafs as well as he looked for this elusive tree.

But yet Godric was not satisfied yet. He continued on his trail to look for the nuts. He was leaping from tree to tree once again. trying to speed up the process as much as he could. It had it's advantage trabeling the tree tops as he could look at the leafs and the bark fairly simply. though the scent was not as strong up here in terms of the bark, it was still an effective method to use.

The trees were talking to Godric as if telling him where to go. He went from tree to tree to check their whispers. Rotchi was starting to talk to him as he listened where to go. It made sense as the pulp the milk carton came from, came from that which he was seeking. Each tree he would leap to and check the leafs. The scent was intoxicating only if it where the right kind of course.

[Waru]

As you continuously checked each and every tree. A faint scent blew in the distant winds wetting your appetite for your desired target. However, the moment was short lived as the winds died down, losing the direction of your target. The milk carton pulse for a moment before tilting to the east.

No Luck

Godric was back to his previous task. Already he could smell a certain kind of scent in the air, he could feel that he was getting close. Turning to the direction and taking some time to pin point what he had smelled. Going with that he was looking for a particular tree. AS he approached he was already studying it with his eyes. This one could be close to what he was looking for is what he thoguht.

Moving on to the next tree after inspection. Godric was using his old tricks again as he preformed the air walk technique. He could walk upon the air as he went from tree top to tree top. He could elevate his position to spot some hopefuls. He was covering more ground this way as he walked through the night air. He could see one right now and he headed in that direction. As he got closer he got more hopeful.

Godric looked up at the night as he felt the breeze on his face. Pulling his attention back to the task at hand he looked toward what he smelled. It was a nice scent and smelled almost as if it were the right mixture of scent. Going in that direction he breathed in deeply as if to find such a thing. He was indeed getting closer and closer to a tree. Another hopeful prospect.
