I really like locusts. All of us Iga do, but I've got like… a fixation on them.
I also recently learned at the academy's medical classes that hands are basically petri dishes of horror.
I've since realized that the best way to get food into my mouth would be a way that didn't involve my hands in any form. Basically, if I can eat my food without touching it at all, I'll have gotten through half the health battle- which is not to say I won't wash my hands often, because I will. Sanitation and cleanliness are one thing- but. I kind of. Don't want to touch bugs either? So… so!
One day when I was in the bath with my sisters, Kirara sneezed really hard and this long string of snot shot out of her nose. Before Raiko or me could say anything, she snorted it back into her nose.
I've been thinking about that for several days now.
We also started going over various kinds of chakra manipulation methods in class- one thing that stuck out to me was chakra strings. I bet that if I can make a chakra string with my tongue, I can catch the delicious and delectable locusts just fluttering around the village without a problem. If I coat that string in mucus, I can catch and kill the locust instantly, and then devour the sucker.
Erm. I wasn't expecting Nara-sama to come to the Fort today- which is why I smacked myself in the mouth with a stick when I was trying to get the timing of my Locust Snatching Technique down. Really, smacked myself in the face with a large branch that had a locust on it. I think I broke my nose.
Which fucking hurts.
Also, I need a better name for this technique, Locust Snatching- while accurate- is just… silly sounding.
So, apparently one of our younger rams got into his clan's lowland forests in the village, and he wants it to go back to it's home. Well, I can't blame him- I think he has a son around Sasuke-chibi's age? Even if he doesn't, young rams don't belong around small children, and I'm sure he has little, like, nephews and nieces and cousins that could be hurt.
So, I'm going to go with Nara-sama and get that ram out of that forest!
Yes, right now Nara-sama! I don't care if I'm bleeding, a little blood is good for the soul!
