Alas, it seemed that what Yoko had come across was a sloth but not the correct type. Rather this was a harmless creature, and she needed the hide from a specific type there was no real purpose in harming it. So instead she left the sloth to its own devices and resumed her search looking through the undergrowth to see if she could find any of the creatures. Hopefully, she would find one soon so that she could craft her items!

The clone had also been unsuccessful, alas, it had not even seen so much of a normal sloth never mind the type it was searching for. But given that it was only was only a few moments into its search it had not yet given up hope. Instead, it continued to search the area, looking up in the trees and down on the ground, alternating between the two. Twenty by twenty metres was a wide area to fully search after all.

The second clone had also had limited success, finding a generic sloth as opposed to the greater moss back. However, this wasn't a bad thing, it indicated that sloths did, in fact, inhabit the area that it had searched all it needed to do was continue searching and a sloth would turn up eventually! The clone searched through the trees again moving over to a figure in the distance that it believed could be a greater mossback.

The third clone had also failed, but like the second clone, this was a failure to find anything in general. So from its perspective, a few minutes had passed in a task that could potentially take hours, thus, it was not discouraged in the least and continued to jump between trees in search of the sloth. It spotted a figure on the ground by the undergrowth that resembled the animal so moved over to investigate further was it the greater mossback?

Upon encountering the creature Yoko and her clones quickly killed it in a manner that would not damage its hide. They only required the one sloth, so with it dead and its hide collected they departed back to the village.
Exit

Yoko had travelled to this region in search of a cheetah, unfortunately one of the creatures would have to sustain a great deal of damage and pain to further her cause. Instead the youth resolved to instantly kill the beast so that it would feel no pain or suffering, then she would be able to skin it for the hide that she required. None of the creature was going to go to waste as was the druidic way. Thus, Yoko began to sing a melody to increase the chances of success, as her and her companion Barbas set out to find the creatures.

Inspired by her own melody the pair was to check the nearby area, but where would a cheetah normally be found? She certainly didn't think that it would be in the undergrowth, or the nearby bushes, but checked there all the same. Brandishing her trusty bow and a hundred or so arrows in case the creature was nearby. She intended to strike with extreme speed and accuracy, an instant death blow as it were.

This vaguely puma like creature is bluish black, its tentacles are dead black, the horny edges of its tentacles are brownish yellow and its eyes glow a hellish green. This Beast's molecular vibrations make it appear to be 2 meters from where it actually is, in a random direction. Displacer Beasts instinctually hate all Blink Dogs and will attack them on sight. They are easily angered, and especially dislike any creature with a canine appearance or odor. Displacer Beasts are nearly always encountered fully grown and in complete control. Should a Displacer Beast ever mate with a Confusion Beast the result would most likely be a Disfusion Beast (catlike creature with the Confusion Beast's club tail and the Displacer Power) or a Conplacement Beast (another catlike creature with the Displacer Beast's tentacles and the Confusion Power). Other combinations are indeed possible, but best left to the pondering of sages.

It seemed that the pairs efforts would reap some results with the emergence of a cheetah not long after their search began. As previously noted Yoko had readied herself to strike immediately such a creature if one should arrive, thus, all she needed to do was release her arrow. Naturally it found its mark, striking with such power that the beast was instantly killed. It saddened her to have had to comitt such an act of violence against an animal but at the same time she knew that the creature's spirit would leave on in the garments she created from it. After fully harvesting everything from the creature Yoko departed in search of a displacer beast along with her companion.

Yoko had come to a hilly region of the Land of Water in search of some animals, specifically a displacer beast and a Cheetah. A natural response would be to ask why, why was she seeking these animals in particular? Well, Yoko had acquired rare blueprints that allowed her to craft legendary equipment. The only catch, however, was that specific materials were required. Thus, Yoko had come out in search of a displacer beast. As the pair moved about searching she sang a song to increase their chance of success! On her person, she had elected to bring her bow along with in excess of a hundred arrows contained within her quiver. She had also given her ring of luck to Barbas her companion to aid in the endeavour.
7 Apr 20, 08:57 Loki QB: and loli's are main characters #17a589
Unfortunately her last attempts at finding the creature had proved unsuccessful, but she had faith that in time she would eventually find the location of the beasts. All she needed to do was to consistently search the area, with the assistance of her companion Barbas. He was to essentially find the creatures using his animal senses, and she would identify them. Together the pairing made quite the formiddable team as to be expected of the Mizukage and her companion.
7 Apr 20, 08:57 Loki QB: and loli's are main characters #17a589
Yoko's melody carried through the air boosting the effectiveness of their efforts, with it she was sure that they would find the creature they sought before long at least. They started by searching the twenty metres or so around the area in which they currently stood, checking the undergrowth and behind the trees, in an effort to locate the creature. Of course Yoko remained vigilant throughout, keen to dispatch the creature with a painless death if able.
7 Apr 20, 08:57 Loki QB: and loli's are main characters #17a589
Alas, their initial attempts proved unsuccessful, but the pair remained confident in their abilities, they were willing to devote a good portion of their day to the task if that was what was required. Thus, they searched high and low, surely they would be able to find the creature before long! Yoko used her uncanny levels of knowledge dervived from her studies to advise Barbas on where to check next.

Everburn Pine Rank: "C" Type: Common, Huge, Tree Effect: Soft amber wood with very flammable resin. Very often used for torches and firewood. Special: Preparation: Special; Duration: Special Drawback: --- Description: A soft wood with a nice amber quality to it. The tree produces a resin that makes it highly resistant to disease and insect infestations and is found in moderate climates with good rainfall. Because of its resistance to disease and insects, it has been transplanted to various other areas to combat insect infestations and tree diseases. However, it was soon discovered that the resin has a flammable quality that makes it prone to fire at even the slightest spark. During particularly dry and hot seasons, the tree has been known to combust, launching massive forest fires. When a tree combusts, it explodes with tremendous force. For every four weeks of a dry season, there is a 20% chance a tree combusts. This is increased by 5% per week. When an explosion finally occurs, it deals 6 Armour Poitns of damage to the number of weeks the trees have endured the drought. The explosion affects everything in a 6 meter-radius radius of the tree. Villagers who live in areas that are home to these trees often make it a point to keep the trees watered during dry seasons, for obvious reasons. However, the resin also gives the wood a long burning quality, burning up to 5 times as long and hot as any other wood of its type. Thus torches made of Everburn last ten times as long. Also adventurers value it for cooking fires, since one bundle of everburn firewood can replace five bundles of regular wood. The wood is rarely used for anything other than torches or firewood, since it would be too risky to use in building material due to its flammability. The resin can, however, be used in explosives by those who are skilled in alchemy giving extra damage of +1 per 6 Armour Points of Damage. 1 Thumb-Vial is needed per alchemical mixture. 1 half-bottle of resin is found per tree. Availability: Year Round; Region: Any Region Except Arctic/Jungle; Identification: Average; Cultivation: Easy Limit: Must know Botany for Any Region Except Arctic/Jungle Regions. 65% chance in finding. Cost: 12,000 Ryo Per Tree; 100 Ryo per Thumb Vial of Resin
65% +5% Bard = 70%
Alas, Yoko and her companion had failed to find a displacer beast. Perhaps they would try again later, for the time being however they elected to shift their focus towards a different matter, namely locating everburn pine trees. The tree's resin could be used to augment the power of explosive devices, so the reason for Yoko acquiring the resin should have been rather obvious. She sought to harness its power to create powerful explosive items for the village.
7 Apr 20, 08:57 Loki QB: and loli's are main characters #17a589
The trees themselves were quite easy to find on account of their commonality and huge size, thus it shouldn't have taken the pairing all that long to find them. A fact that was increased by Yoko having already found one of the trees in the past and thereby acquiring its scent. In doing so her keen nose could be used to help hunt down the trees, which would help make the task even easier than it already was.
7 Apr 20, 08:57 Loki QB: and loli's are main characters #17a589
To aid furthermore in this endeavour Yoko elected to form multiple shadow clones so that she could search different areas at once for different trees. She even increased her odds of success even more by using her bardic powers of song, the inspiring melody would somehow focus the mind of those nearby and thereby increase their chances of observing the towering trees.
7 Apr 20, 08:57 Loki QB: and loli's are main characters #17a589
They split up Yoko searching the northern area of the lane, Barbas the east, and her clones heading off in different directions. Yoko decided that she would search the area by climbing a tree to establish a vantage point. This was a tactic that she and her clones had used with great success in the past so she was quite sure that she would encounter something. She quickly looked about her keen eyes providing the perfect method of searching when combined with her nose.
7 Apr 20, 08:57 Loki QB: and loli's are main characters #17a589
The clones followed suit using their keen sense of smell to gain the general location of the trees before fanning out in pursuit. The first clone moved to the south, inspecting the trees it passed by on its travels to ensure that it did not miss anything through rushing. In doing so it spotted what appeared to be an everburn pine off in the distance. It quickly made its way over to the tree to get a closer look but what was the tree?
