```Alright bitches, this is the forest ```

Dangling himself upside down from a tree branch, Takeshi felt like an owl... If they could hang upside down. Regardless, he often spends his time just hanging from one whenever he's off duty on a the fourth day of the week. Honestly, he really hopes that his names doesn't get around the frontier. For all he knows, the enemy doesn't really know much about him since he often hides his face and doesn't usually flaunt out his abilities as often. Takeshi usually hides his name behind his codename: Commander Owl. 

In any case, the morning weather is nice. Slightly cloudy, but warm temperature where anybody can sit comfortable outside. Nora is a strange place for weather, however, he isn't bothered by it. 

Closing his golden eyes, Takeshi concentrates his sensory to detect any signatures nearby. With his relative stealth skills, he should be able to hide even on a tree... If no one looks up of course. Furthermore, he has his chakra suppressed. War really does just have it's way with making people be on edge the whole time. At some point in his life, he might accidentally point his katana at somebody. Probably Hitomi, but he should suspect anybody that sneaks up behind is the bandit herself.

Uchiha Itami was... Stressed. Yes, stressed was a good word to describe the sensation that the young teenage girl felt. She had just graduated from the academy yesterday, and while normally that would have inevitably led to a celebration with her parents for fulfilling their expectations, she had ruined that dream two years ago — well, it would be two years in a few months. Oh, but was that how long it had been? Itami's face, a carefully-crafted visage of neutrality, cracked a little, a frown etching itself upon her lips as carefully as a racoon with a chisel.

She shook her head. Maybe she just needed to clear her mind. Lay down against a nice, cool, shady tree, book in-hand — she was already reaching towards her kunai pouch for the library book she knew to be there, a treatise on shurikenjutsu — and forget about abusive fathers, neglectful mothers, and lonely unhomely apartments. That would do her some good, Itami knew.

And so the newly-dubbed genin elegantly paced through the greenery off the beaten path towards the forest that very conveniently happened to lay there. A quick flush of her chakra courtesy of a whispered "Genjutsu: Kai" Proved her paranoia was of no use — no short-tempered clansmen was playing a trick on her. Still, Itami vowed, it was better to be safe than sorry, and she'd rather not get trapped again. It would reflect very poorly on her instincts and abilities, and Itami hated being underestimated.

In time, Itami arrived in a glade. It wasn't large enough to properly call a clearing, of course, since the randomly-growing trees dotted the land far too thickly. No, the space was a glade, courtesy only of the various holes in the ground. Gopher holes, Itami recognized. They were probably messing with the dirt too much for large swaths of trees to grow as they did elsewhere in the wood. So long as they didn't try to take any of her things, the Uchiha would leave them alone.

Itami laid down against the base of a tree, pulled out her book, and began to read.

The Jonin opens his eyes, sensing another presence in the vicinity. Looking down from the branch he's dangling from, he spots the girl reading a book. Takeshi squints his eyes at the stranger, guessing that she probably isn't skilled enough to even notice his presence. He's not the most well-versed in stealth, there are obviously better candidates than him but the commander can at least manage to hide himself as some random rat with his chakra. Stealth isn't what he specialize in, he just learned it so it can make some missions easier but majority time he'll be acting as bait. 

Using kinobori to attach himself to the bark of the tree, Takeshi walks down the body of the tree and looks at the book the girl is reading. Shurikenjutsu. That reminds him that there are some Crystal Release techniques that require such a skill set... Maybe he should at some point. Although, he has enough long range options. Still, throwing shurikens wouldn't be such a bad idea to add to his arsenal. 

Looking away from the book and the girl for a moment, he looks at the various holes in the ground. Takeshi shrugs and continues to read along the text of the book. Now thinking about it, why is someone like her out here to read? Well, he can think answers to that question himself. He does spend a lot of his time alone, so it's nothing special to him. Everyone has a reason to wanting to be by themselves, sadly the girl chose the wrong place if she was hoping to do so. 

"Interesting book you got there," A toneless voice came from behind her.
