______________________________________________________________
The Desert Rogue had been itching for a new mission, if not to give him something to do--it'd be to help pay his expenses. Food, equipment, it wasn't cheap. Mans gotta eat. But upon putting his name up for taking a mission, Azuma was handed a C-Rank mission...something he figured he could nearly do in his sleep. But, the payment was decent, and the mission was simple. Locate a rare flower. Cause finding rare things was simple, right?
A soft sigh passed Azuma's lips, the man had over him a dark cloak, hiding most of his form. His hair was tied back by his headband, keeping it tamed. Under the cloak would be what one could only call battle attire, no casual wear here. He even had his new equipment on him, metal arm and shin guards, with just a hint of extra hardness over the marketplace norm. He was...well, over prepared. But Azuma was always over prepared...even in his casual clothing, his equipment would be the same, sans the armor.
The young Jounin made his was across the dunes, a dim glow to them under the moonlight. It was late at night, likely when the flower he was after bloomed. Azuma had traveled this desert more times then he'd like to remember, and making his way to the hidden oasis was as familiar to him as walking to the store. But still, ever a vigilant shinobi, he kept his guard up. The desert was a shifty mistress. Hard telling what the shifting sands held within them.
Finally, he made it. After what seemed like hours in The Great Sea of Sand, he'd made it to the Miracle Oasis. He'd been here before, a rest stop between Sunagakure and practically the rest of the world. Fresh water from a spring, feeding into a lush bloom of nature in the desert. Now it was the mans job to find the flower. He knew what he was looking for, even understood its properties and uses to an extent. His sharp eyes should make finding this easy, but that didn't mean he wouldn't mind a bit of a boost.
The Desert Rogue pulled his hands together, under a second he would fire off 3 Hand signs--Tiger, Rat, Dragon--and close his eyes. Chakra flowed into his closed eyes, and they'd burst open with new light. "Raiden no Kokei" was said by the Shinobi as he activated his Sight of Raiden. His pupils dilated further then the norm, almost swallowing the colors of his eyes. He could now see even better then before, the low light conditions boosted to almost as if it was daylight, eyes opened for more light--and therefore information--to flow into them. He'd look around, it wouldn't be too long, maybe 10--15 minutes, before the Jounin spotted something that drew a smirk to his features.
There it was in full bloom, the Rare Crimson Orchid, nuzzled up to a tree behind a medium sided boulder. Azuma approached and knelled down, letting his jutsu deactivate. With precision, the man drew a Kunai, and sliced the flower's stem, harvesting the herb. Despite its violent end, he did this with care. He'd place it into a safe container he was given, standing up to look at it inside. "Mission success..." he mumbled to himself before hiding it within his cloak--and stepping away back towards Sunagakure...that long walk for a simple flower, but Azuma seen the Ryo at the end of the road, and this was easy compared to most the Missions the man undertook.
