Wolfe got up early that morning as he knew he had a very long trip to get to where he was going so an early start was going to help a lot. He gathered up his clothes making sure to put on his shirt, vest, pants and boots. He then gather up his tools such as his kunai, his kodachi, katana, a notebook and brush and put them away in their various pouches and on his belt. He then gathered his jacket and gloves and made sure to put them on as he walked out of the door on his mission to learn a new skill. Wolfe figured with his natural affinity with botany he would head up to the artic areas and gain some knowledge on some of the plants in the region. Wolfe then headed out of the village to catch some transportation in from one of the villages near the edge of the Water Country.

About 3 days later…

The snow was everywhere across the lands, a beautiful blanket of white covered everything in eyesight in every direction. Wolfe couldn’t help but take a moment to really take everything in as he looked around trying to get a good idea of where he was compared to his destination, and from what he could tell he was only a few miles from where he was looking to be. Wolfe had come all this way to work on his botany skills in the artic regions. As an alchemist he was always trying to find new types of plants and collect them, and in this cause that meant applying everything he knew about other areas such as grasslands, and forest and applying those basic concepts here and expanding on them for this specific region and weather. Wolfe had taken a few days to make this journey in hopes of working on his knowledge of botany in the artic areas. The journey hadn’t been too bad actually, besides the one time he had gotten a little turned around and had to stop at a local village in the area to get directions.

Wolfe focused his chakra for a moment and activated his Ryuugan, and for a moment he was taken back by what he saw. He had never been around these kind of weather conditions before such as snow, ice and the like and being a variant of water based on just being in a different form gave a new and slightly interesting view he had not been expecting, but after a few moments he collected himself and scanned the area as he used his Tenshou Yoden to get a better idea of what kind of weather to expect. As he turned and surveyed a 360* view he saw nothing out of the ordinary snow fall that was already happening and decided he should be fine to continue hos trek to the base of a mountain not that far in the distance where there was some forest area where he might find some of the plants he was looking for. Wolfe deactivated his Ryuugan and began the short journey to where he was heading.

After a short time he arrived at the base of the mountain right next to the outskirts of a small forest type area. From his knowledge of other areas and botany, he figured this was his best place to start looking and he got down around the base of one of the trees and began digging through the snow. After a few minutes he came across some interesting looking plants and he pulled out a small notepad and a brush and began to take little notes in between pulling up different little plants here and there and making to to exam each one of them thoroughly before taking more notes. As he moved along, he found more plants and flowers make sure to pull, exam, and collect them all so he could better exam them later more. He made sure to check each tree for anything that was growing on them and made sure to pull and them to his collection as he took more simple little notes.

Wolfe made sure to cover as much as he could in the forest area before he began is accent up the side of the mountain. Wolfe made sure to zip up his jacket which normally he kept open and free, but even with his vest and shirt on under the jacket, it was decently cold, but he knew as he ascended up the mountain it would get colder. Once he had made his way a little up the mountain he began to look in every little crevice and between rocks as he found and picked a few more different types of plants, making more notes of the different petals, stem differences and leaf patterns. He had to dig for more than a few as he made his way slowly up the mountain, making sure to stop and check anywhere he thought he might find anything interesting. On more than on occasion Wolfe had to dig up some snow and break a little ice to get to a rock, just so he could move the rock and exam some stuff under it. This is where soil tended to be the softest and he could find more fungal type plants such as mushrooms, molds, and the like.

Wolfe made sure to ascend a decent amount up the mountain as he knew he would find different plants at different types of heights as air, and other climate effects changed. Around this time Wolfe found a cove type area and make camp for the night, making sure to set up his tent and everything so he wouldn’t freeze to death through the night.

Wolfe woke up the next morning and cleaning up his camping area before continuing his trek up the side of this mountain looking for anymore plants he could find along the way. After getting to a decent height up the mountain Wolfe decided that unless he was looking for anything in specific he would move on to his next target which was a stream only a couple of miles away from the base of the mountain.

Wolfe began his decent down the mountain, which was a lot quicker than his ascent by far, and in no time flat he was standing at the base of the mountain and well on his way to the river stream he had seen from up on the mountain side. Wolfe stopped and took a second to once gain activate his Ryuugan and his Tenshou Yoden to get a good idea of the weather again, and much to his liking it looked like another nice day of weather for as far as he could see. He then again deactivated his Ryuugan and began his minor journey to the riverside.

After some time Wolfe finally found himself standing next to the river, and made his way down to the riverbed where he once again got down and pulled out his note pad and brus and began to dig through the snow to find a few more plants in this area. The river was frozen solid, but like any water rea the types of plants changed, and much to his liking this area was no different and within minutes Wolfe as digging up new plants and funguses. He made sure to take his tiny samples as continued along. He made sure to overturn every rock and stone and check any molds he found as well, making sure to chart down different colors, consistencies, smells, and patterns on each and every plant or fungus he could find. After a while he knew there was really one other area he could check, but he would have to get crafty to check that area.

Wolfe grabbed all his stuff and took a good distance from the edge of the riverbed he then began his hand symbols as he performed his Suiton - Haretsu Mizu-mari jitsu and a moment later Wolfe had his three fist sized balls of water in the air next to him. Wolfe used his chakra to move them right on top of the river and then used some of his chakra to cause all three of them to explode all at once in a small area together to break the layer of ice on the top of the river. After he performed his jutsu Wolfe walked over to where there was a hole in the ice. Wolfe needed some of the plants on the bottom of the river, but there was no way he was getting in, so he played it smart and once again he began to create hand symbols and only a second later he performed his Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu and created 5 water clones of himself that he sent into the hole in the ice and into the water to collect the plants from the bottom of the river.

Wolfe then sent his clones into the water to grab anything they could find, and one by one they would slowly bring him different plants from the bottom of the riverbed and then go back in for another go. Each time Wolfe would spend more time slowly noting all the different attributes of the plants and algae they kept bring to him, he figured he could compare notes from other areas and see if any of these plants, funguses, and algae had similar traits to some of the ones from other regions he was better versed in, to see if maybe they might be bale to be used in some of the same types of alchemical concoctions.

Wolfe decided to move upstream to where there was a waterfall area he had seen coming into the region. So Wolfe packed up everything he had from this area and dispersed his clones and started up the river towards the waterfall. It took him a few hours before he reached the area but it was perfect for his next area to search as it had a cave like area right next to the bottom of the frozen waterfall. Wolfe made his way into the entrance area of the cave and started to poek around looking for anything that might be growing in the darkness of the cave. Wolfe made sure to stay where he could use the day’s light still but checked into crevasses and behind and underneath rocks. He found more fungus type plants and mushrooms at first and made sure to add them to his collection.



He then started going a little further in the cave which was making it harder and harder to see, but he had to get in just a little further to get that perfect mix of darkness and moisture needed to for certain types of plants and fungus to grow. He made sure to dig into the dirt and really get into certain roots as they were great for alchemy. He made sure to note all the different traits of each of the things he found as well as the conditions so they could maybe be recreated at a later time. Wolfe made sure to check under more rocks and pull any plants he could find and check the leaves and stems for any fluids he could extract from them as well.

Wolfe had gotten as much as he could out of the cave for now as he had no external light source and then decided it was enough for now. At a later date when he hd a ligh source he would try again. Wolfe exited the cave and decided to try one more area that he needed to check which was a tundra area that was kind if a wasteland type area. He knew this was a freat place for many different things to grow so he would have to check it here. Wolfe climbed the side of the cliff he was near until he reached the top. He then continued his journey for a few more hours till he reached his destination. It was now a little after midafternoon, almost evening so he didn’t have a lot of time so he dug right in. Wolfe started by performing his Haretsu Mizu-mari jutsu at the top layer of ice, obviously making sure he was a good distance away. The time time didn’t break through so he tried 2 more times till he broke through the ice to the semi frozen soil beneath it.

Like before he dug into the area and started to pull different types of plants and whatnot from the soil, making sure to cut each stem, leaf, buds, and roots as he took notes on each and every little detail he could find about them. He noted the shades and types of fluids each one gave and noted possible types of properties each one had so he could compare with anything he could find back in the village library. He was going to have to try and see if any of these plants had similar properties of plants fro other regions so he could gather which ones might work in some of his alchemy recipes.

Wolfe was once again on his way to the tundra wastelands of the artic. He planned on being here for a little while longer this time. His last visit had been to work on his knowledge of botany of the area this time he was here to find study and note any and all forms of creatures there, as well as work on his cultivation skills while he was there. In reality it was most likely going to be a week at the least while he worked on all these skills relating to the area. Last time he had only worked on his botany while here, but he figured why keep making the trip, and instead decided he would just stay there till he had accumulated all the knowledge of the region before he headed home. He had some general knowledge of this kind of information at home in the coastal area, but he needed branch out and gain it in as many places as he could. So here he was once again, working against the cold and trying to learn as much as could before he frostbite sank in.

Wolfe made sure to check his notes on his previous trip to find some of the same spots as before. Now that he was well versed in the plant life of the area he needed to work on cultivating the different types of plants, fungus, and algae he could find here. He decided his best was to retrace his his steps from before and go from there. So upon his arrival in the artic wilderness he retraced his step and found himself back at the forest near the base of the mountain from his first trip.

Wolfe pulled out his scroll of information he had written with all the collected information from his first trip. When he had gotten home he had taken all his notes and compared them to other notes he had from other regions and areas and then compiled them into a scroll for himself for later use. He decided to start with the area around the trees like before as he dug up the snow around the trees and picked and pulled at any and all the plants trying to cut them up and pulls the buds, flowers, leaves, and stems apart to cultivate any and every part of each one he could fins so he could exam them and try to stay away from anything that seemed like it might be harmful in anyway.

After spending some time digging up and collecting plants from the ground and around the base of the tree, he decided to shift his interest under the dirt. He started to dig into the roots of some of the different plants and trees around the area. He made sure to take cuts and bits from each just like the plants so see what kind of juices and what colors they were. This kind of information was important as hell when it came to seeing what kind of plants were safe as well as what worked in alchemy. Wolfe was finding some interesting finds, but he would have to change his target of interest soon as he was running out of roots in this area. So instead he decided to look up and began to collect different types of bark and well as anything he could find growing on the bark of the trees. The cold of the artic allowed very different types of fungus to grow on trees in this area. The ice in this area kept a certain level of moister that couldn’t be mimicked anywhere else besides coastal areas, but the cold also had a hug influence. Wolfe was getting some very interesting stuff from the area as he scurried along from tree to tree gathering anything he could find, making sure to check each and every one for any properties that could be important to cultivating it.

It was around this time he decided to start up the mountain like before. So he picked up anything he could find that he might find worthwhile to exam later and began his trek up the mountain. Wolfe found the same spots as before as he dug under rocks and in crevasses, pulling some of the smaller plants and funguses as he found before. This time he would cut them up and procced to check smells, and types of consistencies to see what kind of properties each had to find ways to keep them free even after pulling them and for transporting them. With each one he found more interesting information to note. At this point it was starting to get kind of late so he found a small cave area and set up his tent for the night. In the early part of the night he took some of the plants, roots, and funguses he hadn’t had a chance to exam yet and went to town as he cut them up, examined the details and noted anything and everything he could find on each. After a while he put away everything and passed out.

After the night had given way to day Wolfe woke to the sun’s rays shining over the side of the mountain. He packed up his stuff and went back to his studies as he actually went a little deeper into the cave he had found. While in there he pulled and picked at anything he could find as he repeated his process of cutting and picking each thing apart as well as checking roots, and what kind of liquids each of these things secreted when cut or ripped. Wolfe made sure to overturn rocks and check in small crevasses in the cave walls. He also found a few interesting things on the cave walls themselves such as vines, which he of course took time to collect and check the properties of more closely.

After a while he knew he had found everything in this area he was going to find, so it was time to move on. Wolfe then exited the cave and began his decent down the mountain back to the base where the forest was that he had begun his most recent cultivation training. Now he was on to go to the river from his first visit.

Wolfe made the trek to the river and found his place at the river’s side. Wolfe found the same place he had been the first time around and he dug right in and started ripping up any plants and roots he could find. As he did he made sure to cut up any roots he found and noted any liquids and the types of odors and colors, making sure to compare them to anything he had from other plants from other regions. Wolfe made sure to be careful as he cut up roots, and ripped up different leaves and any buds and flowers he found. He checked for any type of dangers with each plant such as thorns, and barbs as well.

Once he was done with those plant he focused on different types of fungus, mushrooms and any land based algae he found. He made sure to check each for types of puss and residue to make sure they weren’t poisonous or dangerous in nature. Taking into account different colors, smells, and anything else that looked important to each different type of plant or algae.

Wolfe now fairly happy with what he had found in the river area decided it was time to move on to the next potential area, the open fields of the artic. Wolfe left the riverside area and headed out to find a good spot in artic fields like the he had the first time. It didn’t take too long to find a spot very similar to the first field area and Wolfe jumped right in as he began to dig up areas of snow to help get to any botany he could find. Wolfe dug into the ground and once again went for any types of flowers and above ground plants he could find. He checked different types of leaves and stems for any signs of danger when picking or handling them. After he was done with those he made sure to check any of the actual buds, petals, and any kind of pollen to make sure they were not poisonous or contained any other dangers.

Wolfe started now digging into the ground looking for anything he could find such as any new roots and types of fungus that grew under the cold ground/ Wolfe made sure to be careful as he tested different ones and took notes on their various traits. This time Wolfe was even able to find a few different types of algae that lived just under the snow blankets and made sure to test and try to harvest them to the bet of his ability. The act of cultivating different plants was very dangerous sometimes, so Wolfe had be very careful when harvesting different types botany. As Wolfe continued to dig around, this time he actually got a little luckier than last time and found some algae that was growing just under the snow level. Wolfe was quick to add them and their information to the list as he cut, and picked at them as well. Now that he had found as much as he was going to find here, it was time to move on to the next spot.

Now that Wolfe was done with working with anything he could find in the open ice fields, it was now time to move on to the next area, the wastelands. It didn’t take Wolfe too long to get to the wastelands of the artic area, but just like last time, once there trekking through the area was a different story. If he had just been passing through on the way to somewhere else, then this would have been a lot easier, but in this case he was slowed down by his need to look around and find a good place to work. After finding a good place to settle in and work, Wolfe got right into the mess of things as he start searching and finding any plants like the one he had found the first time.

Wolfe went to work as he began to find any kind of plants he could and got into trying to cultivate them. Wolfe made sure to pay close attention to details as he unearthed, cut up, and ripped into each plant, fungi, and algae he could find. He made sure cut up the roots of each plant and check for any odors and colors if any of them had any kind of liquids. As he checked the plants for types of leaves and buds he continued to be as careful as possible. The whole reason for this training was for learning how to cultivate different types of plants correctly so he didn’t hurt, or poison himself in the process.

Wolfe also took some time to work with some of the water sources of the wasteland area, as they held different types of bacteria and fungi in it. All of this was useful in alchemy so he needed to be able to separate, contain, and harvest all these things. After working with some of the water, Wolfe started to work on some of the different trees in this area also, as fungi grew on the bark very easily because of the mixture of moisture and low temperatures that created a unique environment that could breed this type of fungi, and the bark was the best place for it to grow from. Wolfe was careful as he pulled pieces of bark away and dug into the fungi growing on it. Now, at this point Wolfe was pretty caught up on mot of the plant he would be able to find in this area.
