Yoroi Kaguya

Around the country of fire, several farmlands stood in the forests or on open green fields. Some people had orchards while others had immense farmlands where they grew crops and other vegetables. A country as big as the fire country relied on it’s own people to sustain it, growing their own food and other supplies. The fire country was bigger then the other countries, allowing them a lot more room to build whatever it was they needed of the land. Yoroi was a lot like those people, though he did not supply anything to the village or any others at all. Well, that was not entirely true, he supplied to his companions Shakreido and Kaien while looking after himself as well. The three always took care of one another, doing things around the camp site that benefited all of them in the process.

Some took care of rodent problems, others took care of gathering food for the group’s benefit, sometimes they even went at it together when a new aspect of the camp was to be built. Together with Shakreido, Yoroi had been capable of building up new aspects to his lair that would have been impossible to create alone, simply lacking the manpower. With the aid of the large snake, he had been able to move incredibly sturdy and heavy rocks, creating new places to store his goods and keep them from any remaining rodents or other creatures that might walk in on his camp. He had a lot to be thankful to, though Yoroi had not been guided by any gods or spiritual beings at all, he had been guided by his own will and power.

Even in the early mornings, Yoroi demonstrated this will and power by stalking and butchering a deer before the sun had even risen above the horizon. Dropping a deer by the fire, Shakreido was the first to come slithering out of his den when the scent of blood reached him. This time, the deer was not for himself, but for Kaien and Shakreido. It was a treat to them, though they would soon have to pay for his kindness by following him around the country. In his quest to learn more about gardening and keeping up with his plants, Yoroi believed that it would be a good idea to visit someone who spent their entire life solely on plants and their growth process.

Now that both Shakreido and Kaien had eaten their fill, they were both more then ready to come with him and help him reach the nearest farmland, which was roughly five kilometers away from the mountain he lived on. It was a place he could find on his own, though it was always useful to have his companions around to back them both up. The road was a long one, passing through a small town he had never really been to before in his life. Asking the locals whether they knew of a farmer that was doing exceptionally well with his vegetables and wheat, they sent him on his way to a man that went by the name Yura. It seemed like a good enough lead for him, hopefully being worth the time he put into travelling to the place. After a good fifteen minute walk, they reached a large farmland that seemed deprived of all life. Knocking on the door of the house, a tall old man opened the door and looked him over for a good minute before speaking to him.

“You there, young man, ye seem like one of those... Shinobo from Konoha. We don’t see you a whole lot out here, though we can most certainly use yer help. My crops and wheat was supposed to grow on this here field, though these blasted crows keep eating all of the seeds right out of the ground. Would you mind helpin’ me out by getting rid of these feathery parasites?”

Clearly, the man had no idea what he was really talking about when it came down to the things the Shinobi from Konoha did for the population of the fire country. They were responsible for protecting the borders and the towns from the threat posed by other countries. Even though Yoroi was not a shinobi himself, he still appreciated the work the shinobi did, keeping the country itself peaceful while keeping things such as war at the border. People like this Yura often pissed him off by being so incredibly ignorant as to thinking that at times like these, the shinobi would actually have time to help a farmer take care of some crows. Hell, the guy couldn't even say the name of these people right, which was just plain disrespectful. Still, Yoroi understood that for the benefit of the nearby town, the farmlands were needed for survival and economic growth, thus benefiting the entire country in the process.

“I’ll see what I can do for you, though you will owe me after this. For now, you might want to step back a bit while I let my friends handle this”

That said, he put his fingers to his lips and sent out a high pitched whistle, loud enough for Kaien who was still hanging up high in the air to come swooping down and Shakreido who had been under ground to figure out that he was needed. Though Shakreido could not hear the sound, he could hear the vibrations in the soil, only requiring Yoroi to tap his foot on the ground three times to call him up from the earth. Now backed up by both avian and reptilian companions, he set them both loose on the crows, still not expecting any trouble whatsoever. Soon, not a single one of these black pests would ever come back to haunt the farmer, for they would all be dead.

Watching Kaien and Shakreido going at it from a distance, it was a quick and subtle process from both the snake and the falcon. Where one drove the crows up, the airborn hunter struck them down while occasionally killing one in the process. At the same time, he drove others back down into the crops where the snake would lash out and strike out at the crows with it’s large, dagger like fangs. It was a massacre of blood and black feathers, though it was a necessarry slaughter that would benefit a lot of people, so the means were justified for a good ending. Yoroi was very capable of living without money, though he did not want to know what would happen to these people if they ran out. They had children and elderly that needed to be taken care of, making the money extremely useful for them.

While Yoroi waited around for the two of them to finish killing and devouring their prey, he knew that the reason why he had come to this place was the wrong one. This man was not even capable of protecting his land from crows, so how was a man like this supposed to help him become better at taking care of his plants. If Yoroi wanted to become a good gardener that could take care of his own plants, he would just need to learn the way he always did, through trial and error. Not wanting any of the plants he had to die due to them being so incredibly rare, he still had a lot of seeds that could be planted if they were to die. Still, he would do his best to keep his plants from dying, even if he had to stick around day and night.

“You did a good job there kid, the least I can do is give you some coin for it. If you don’t mind me asking you for any favors, would you mind helping a relative of mine out for me. She is a rather stubborn woman who won’t ask for any help from the locals, so you would be the perfect guy to send, seeing as you are an outsider. Tell her I sent you and she probably won’t hit you with broom. She’s the local baker, so you should have no problem finding her”

It was brought as a joke, though he could sense that there was truth in his words. Not really saying yes or no, he just nodded at Yura and went on his way back to the town. Calling both Shakreido and Kaien back, he made sure the falcon would go to scout the road up ahead. The moment he pinpointed the bakery, he would surely come back to guide Yoroi towards it. Whilst leaving the farmlands, a part of him still believed that there had to be a place where he could learn how to make these plants grow without half of them dying. For now, he would just head down to the bakery to figure out what it was that needed to be taken care of.
