[Social, Open] After a hard nights work...

Off the beaten path, down a wooden road, and just on the outskirts of the Kiri ghetto local fisherman planted eels for harvest. Kuroru had done some work as part of a mission for the fishermen, and was allowed to snag as much as he desired; so long as he was brave enough to be in the slums of Kirigakure. Standing atop the flat, metal hand rails protecting the bridge, Kuroru held his fishing pole outward and towards the water.
Kuroru was wearing his usual attire, his thick silk kimono whipping in the night wind. "It sure is cold tonight.." Kuroru thought to himself as he started casting out and reeling in, trying to stir up the flying patterns of the bugs above the pond. On his fishing pole was a bright yellow ribbon, and a very large barbed hook. Kuroru spent a lot of time at this pond, and the method he used to snag turtles was all about patience.
First he would move the insects from the center of the bond, to the more shallow edges. Then once the fishes under the water saw the bugs flying above, and rose to the surface, the planted eels would dart after them. To stay safe the turtles would leave the chaos of the eels shooting out of the underwater weeds, and find somewhere out of the water to rest and wait for the mud to settle.
That was when Kuroru would have to snag his hook into the neck of the turtle, keeping it from running from him. By the time he found his first turtle it was in the middle of night, and the wind was really swirling about. In fact it felt like it would rain. Hungry as ever, the young genin pushed forward and slung forth his hook. The barb stuck the turtle right in the eye, and the reptile began hissing out in terror and anguish. Kuroru however let out a howl of joy and began to run around the pond, eager to collect his catch. The turtle was average sized, and Kuroru decided he would catch another before heading home to make a turtle pie. Snipping off the fishing line with his ninja blade, Kuroru tied his catch up in the air.
"One more!" Kuroru whispered to himself and dashed back to the bridge. Standing atop the hand rails he repeated the process, hoping to catch a turtle soon. The Genins stomach was rumbling mightily.
