Image She was walking down the left hand side of the track with the MANY items she had obtained from the recent happenings along with her. Within her 24 vines were: The Piston Gauntlet, Medium Field pack full of 40 slots of senbon, Pole Arm, Winged Mechanical Device and Manual, 2 Huge Sake Bottles, Utility Belt type 1 with 12 more slots of senbon, two slots of senbon, 2 doses of pargen, 20 slots of tremor stones, spring razor, five slots of tags - one locking, four elemental lightning, One slot of goo pouches, a war axe, a light shield - painted black, 12 smoke grenades, 9 lock picking kits, the three medical books, the legendary shining blue sword TOkihaga - which she knew nothing about, and 6 multi tools. She had become very well off and ofcrouse with hershe had a world map and compass to allow ease of travelling later Of course her Zassou vines were easily noticed but also upon her body was her typical black dress outfit but with the top two button popped off the dress revealing more cleavage than she liked, her raven black wings fromt he tsubasa clan were out in the sun and on her arms 15 red and white lillies would be surgically implanted. Around these flowers 75 black and white butterflies would flutter as the rather frreaky researcher would travel to taki no kuni.

Wandering the back roads of whatever country Katsu had managed to find himself stranded in, he kept searching for a way back to his own country. It had been a harrowing adventure for him to suddenly dropped into the middle of the ocean with no land in sight, but eventually Katsu had managed to water walk his way to shore. Now he was walking the back roads of the country of Earth, trying to find a way to reach one of the big cities so he could tell exactly where he was.


Katsu was wearing his normal attire that consisted of a blue/black Haori and Hakama setup with the Kazeraikou crest printed on either side of his chest. His Shinobi headband adorned his forehead, secured in place tightly with a pair of Sniper Goggles covering his eyes, and they were filled with advanced tech like Camera Vision, Night Vision, Thermal Vision, and Zooming Vision, even some anti-flash lenses. Besides all that Katsu had on his person a messenger bag with a world map and 35 senbon within it, it was also where he normally placed his goggles as well. The haori that Katsu was wearing also had pockets sewn into the underside, allowing Katsu to hide 15 Hiro Shuriken, 4 kunai, 2 knives, and a lock picking set within it. On Katsu's back was his 110 lb Draw Recurve bow, designed to be used as a blade at close range if need be. Next to it was his huge shoulder quiver filled with 298 arrows of different types, including flares, flashbangs, fire, ice, mechanical blade, broadpoint, frag grenades, goo heads, concussive grenades, and frag timer arrows. On Katsu's waistline was a battleaxe, fifteen feet of wire, a pair of longswords, and a Fuuma Shuriken.

Beyond this cornucopia of equipment Katsu also had a new Mobile Operations Bag, and it was containing quite a deal of new things Katsu had found recently. This included a full set of Animalist Knowledge books, A pair of Rural and Jungle Herbalist Knowledge books, All three First Aid books, a book on Understanding Seals, two different Tactical Vest type 2s, a slot of Locking Tags, a type 5 Cloak, a dose of Bittermourn, two bagpipes, fifteen skeleton keys, and a Pouch Projector Single Release type.

With ALL of this stuff with him Katsu really hoped he wouldn't run into a thief before he made it back to his own village. Still, all this travel had left Katsu exhausted, and he collapsed right on the track to rest. It was soon after that that he heard some footsteps slowly heading down the road, and Katsu's ears perked, trying to catch which direction it was coming from, how heavy the steps were, and how far away they were...

She would have loved them but that is life. As she walked down the road something caught her eye, it was a young shinobi and it looked like he wasn't from this land either going by the head band. Hers had been hidden as part of her dress and she would pull it off and put it around her neck once more allowing the shinobi to see she wasn't local either. Hello there, are you okay? All of Tsukiko's items were still being held by the many vines on her body - thought the one in her head and the ones in her feet were no longer being used as it would fit within the hand vines, stomach and shoulder blade vines. Don't mind the vines, just my way of carrying the items from the freak event.

Katsu looked up from his prone position to see a woman walking towards him, almost two dozen vines extruding from various places on her body, and each vine holding some object of one kind or another. The very first thought that crossed Katsu's mind was "She looks way too much like some kind of tentacle monster right now." Katsu immediately got to his feet, dusting himself off as she continued to approach him. It was just impossible to feel comfortable around a woman who could inspire hentai jokes. The second thought that entered Katsu's mind was that it had to have hurt to have those things put in her body like that. She must be very strong-willed to be able to handle the kind of pain required for such a ritual. Or perhaps a masochist.

Either way Katsu gave a wave and a smile as she approached, picking up his mobile operations bag and walking to meet her. "Don't mind the vines, just my way of carrying the items from the freak event." came her voice to Katsu.

Grinning, Katsu responded easily, "I know exactly what you mean, Ma'am. I got lucky to find a Mobile Operations Bag as the very first item, and I just sort of shoved everything else in there." Katsu knelt to open his bag, sifting through some of the stuff, pulling out the whole sixteen book set of Animal Knowledge. They were all conveniently packaged together in a sturdy leather belt, every book open to view. Katsu was about to open his mouth to ask what kind of books she had gotten when Katsu spied a Kodachi in the grasp of one of her vines. It had a strange glittery glimmer to the blade, and Katsu felt a strange sensation as he looked at it. Katsu's blood tingled, his Kazeraikou heritage alerting him to a strange magnetic field. Blinking once, Katsu looked at the blade, "What's that blade there? It's glittering almost. I've never seen one like it before. "

His books held in one hand, he waited for the woman's reply.

Where did the items fall for you? I was collecting them here in the land of Earth, I wanted to research if the random occurrences were happening all over the world not just within the land of waterfall... and you're lucky to have that item to begin with for sure. I would love one to carry atleast half of this stuff.... I got sooo many senbon though. It will make me a pretty penny when i sell them along with most of the other stuff. As she finished speaking the boy ahead of her - of whom she did not know the name of yet - would produce a mass of books and her eyes would flicker..... she wanted them, it was then the boy showed interest in the sword and she felt a bargain coming along. Well with the sword - i was planning on selling it and buying Animal / Herbal books, it does look kinda rare so i was contemplating doing some research into it first but i would be willing to trade it for the right offer.... Tsukiko had hinted her interest in the books the boy possessed hopefully he was smart enough to take the hint and offer them for the sword.

"Well with the sword - i was planning on selling it and buying Animal / Herbal books, it does look kinda rare so i was contemplating doing some research into it first but i would be willing to trade it for the right offer..."

Katsu looked at where the woman's eyes were pointing, and saw they were looking directly at his big set of Animal Knowledge books. The debate in Katsu's mind was clear on his face as he thought. The sword was certainly interesting to him, to say the least, but Katsu didn't know a thing about the blade. And although Katsu wasn't really interested in the Animal Knowledge books, he could get a pretty penny by turning them in to his village for Mission credits. He went back and forth in his mind, trying to think if the gamble was worth it. Eventually he settled for making it a true gamble, and he spoke. "I don't know what that sword is, and it could be incredibly dangerous for me to pick it up, it has a strange sensation to me that I can feel from here.

"However, it's not like I was planning on using these books myself. I was planning on giving them to my village. If you'll get more personal use out of them then I guess it'll be a worthy trade. These eighteen books I have here..." Katsu trailed off as he brought out two more books, these two on Herbalist Knowledge Rural and Jungle regions, and he laid them atop the bound set, "...for the mysterious Kodachi. The books together are worth roughly 90,000 Ryo if you tried to buy them in a bookstore. Sound good to you, Ma'am?" Katsu leaned back, waiting for her answer. The books really were worth a lot, but something about that Kodachi just drew Katsu to it...

I would be more than happy to perform a trade with you. My name is Tsukiko of TakigaKure by the way. May I request your name and village? Don't worry I'm not a fighter, I'm a researcher and if these books help me with any of my thesis I would mention a thank you to you. Tsukiko would give a smile as she looked upon the several books, she would LOVE to have those books. It would save her a great bundle in costs anyway and it wasn't as if she was going to do anything with the sword anyway.

"My moniker is Katsugan, and as you can tell by my headband I'm from Kumo. Glad to meet you Tsukiko." Katsu gave a polite and guarded bow, one you would expect between two Shinobi who don't know each other well. "I would just as well have my name left out of it, however. No offense meant to you of course. But, let us complete our trade before we talk of things like thanks, yes?" Katsu gave a simple smile, holding out the books with his other hand open and waiting for her to place the Kodachi into. He would grasp the hilt of the sword firmly while he held the books, and only after he was sure he had a good grip on the sword would he let go of the books. It wasn't disrespectful, just a prudent trading habit.

I always give credit where due. Tsukiko would notice how the youngling held out the books in one but refused to let them go, he was a clever lad not trusting other shinobi - most of them are quite futile but not her. She wouldn't betray trust like that and using vine control she lowered the hilt of the sword into his hand and using a different vine would take the books away holding them up high also. Thank you very much, I am sorry to leave so hastily but i must return to my village. My allotted leave is now up. Many Thanks once more Katsugan of Kumogakure With the books in vine she would set off, compass in hand making her way back to Taki no Kuni.

With his mystery prize in hand, Katsu would give Tsukiko a nod of farewell as she headed one way, and he grabbed his things and headed another. He had to find a way to get back to Kumogakure, and soon...
