Mission: Glutton - 15 SP - Participate in an eating contest to win the prize for one of your old teachers - Solo

Eating, wasn't as far as I was concerned, a special skill. Although my appetite had always been utterly deceptive in relation to my size, it never troubled me if I ignored it. Most of the shinobi I had noticed seemed to have this in common. They probably needed to balance out the tolls of training somehow. However after my fourteenth birthday my appetite had undeniably increased. I always held it in check though. I would stop getting treated if I ate as much as I wanted. I'd also probably get fat and that was something that I definitely didn't want.

I'd skipped breakfast this morning, and only had a small portion for dinner. I was committed to winning the competition but not enough to miss dinner.

The contest was of course based on pie, the most wonderful of foods and grandfather to the eating contest. There was just something magical about pie. That made you want to cram as much as you could into your mouth, without bothering to think about indigestion, or if you'd be able to chew. The only real worry was that you'd run out of pie. I liked pie, pie was good.

I found myself again a novelty in a contest, another part to gain the villagers acceptance. They were the best kind of pies freshly baked and piping hot. Although in hindsight the piping hot part wasn't the best thing for an eating contest. I ate as if the food would be snatched from my hands if it stayed there for more than three seconds.

I still can't remember much after that. I know I'd managed to win the contest but I wasn't sure exactly what had happened. Though, I had learnt an important fact of life. Large amounts of pie lead to drowsiness. I assumed this could be used for copious intake of other foods as well. I got out from under the table, my prize in my carry pouch on my hip. I had already decided it would be a gift for Mariko. I tried to get up and walk but immediately fell over.

I decided that the best course of action involved me not doing anything for a long time.
