Application 7: Digging
Inuzuka Tsume walked into her house, looking for her youngest child, her son Kiba. He and his nin-ken partner, Akamaru, had done something... not wrong exactly, or even anything all that strange for a member of their family, but the timing was just a little bad for this kind of stunt. After a bit of searching she found her oldest, her daughter Hana. "Have you seen Kiba? There's something I need to... talk with him about."
Hana looked at her mother, an unreadable expression on her face for a moment, before she briefly snorted in exasperation and amusement. She nodded her head in the direction of the back of the house. "Yeah, I just bet you do. He's out back."
Tsume looked at Hana questioningly for a moment before going out to her family's sizable backyard, wondering what exactly made her daughter say what she had. She'd originally sought Kiba out because he'd been the last one to sign into the clan's equipment and supply storehouse, and she wanted why he'd signed out such a large number of items. The prices on some of those items had gone up a fair bit, so they were on a semi-restricted status. A few of them would have made sense, as every one in their clan usually gave a few to their partners every now and then, but... over a hundred of them? Why had he gotten out that many? When she got outside she witnessed what exactly was going on, and had to resist the urge to slap her palm to her face, a sort of numb disbelief settling on her face.
Kiba and Akamaru were racing to and fro, back and forth, all over the backyard, using their Gatsuuga technique to dig holes as far as the eye could see, dumping the bones, chewtoys, and other assorted treats they'd signed out of the clan supply and equipment depot all over their backyard. They circled all around the yard, covering their holes back up they'd dropped a toy or bone or such inside. Idly, Tsume wondered if any of the other clan heads ever had experiences like this.
