The right path

I finally got those 50 phantom seeds, and a new quest was available from the guy at the raven ninja camp. it requires you to turn in the map of the phantom forest.
can you still go through the gates in the forest after you turn it in? or is this one of those quests that is better not to do?

You get it back.

Edit: Oh. Nevermind, he never actually takes it from you. Same thing though.

You get it back after he takes it from you at the end
