How do you feel about crabs?

;]

...I do not find comfort in their presence.

Are you a gem?

I am not, at least in this iteration. I am aware of other versions of myself that are however. Most commonly appearing as a Prophecy Stone.

Kuromaru, what's your favorite thing about living in Konoha?

Hello, thank you for your ask. I saw it last night and spent some time considering what would take the top spot. There are lots of things about this village that I really enjoy and a part of me wants to say that it's my new friends.

But anyone could guess that I'd like my friends. You can make friends in any village.

My favorite part about Konoha is all the green. Shout out to the guy who named it, there really are leaves everywhere. No matter where you look, things are alive and flourishing. Suisei can pull food out of nowhere here and Jade has showed me so many more bugs then I ever knew a place could have.

The desert is beautiful, but she is still. Slow and deadly.

Konoha is very different, but good different.

I wonder if both places can be my home?

Psst, Chel, so... does Kakashi ever sleep in the nude? Or at least, mask and nothing else?

Let me start by saying that Ka is always dressed for the occasion and sometimes the occasion calls for us in matching birthday suits.

If you're fishing for details, I'll at least tell you that his mask does tend to remain. It's more like part of his personal identity and less like an article of clothing to discard during adult extracurricular.

However, we do also have a child who does get saddled with the occasional bad dream and he'll crawl into bed with us. Normal late evening wear are things like jinbei and Suisei has a few costume pajamas that still fit. Oh! We had this one that he just grew out of that looked like the village uniform, they were both so bummed when it was time to give it up. I think they like to match, really.

Suisei, what's the most interesting thing you ever found in the woods while foraging? (Food-wise or non-food)

I feel like this is a good time to talk about the hairy situation with the missing-nin BUT I LIKE MUSHROOM CHAT.

So, last time Uncle Tenzo came out to camp with me, we spent some time looking for this really cool stuff called chicken of the woods. (different from hen of the woods, which is also good eating)

They were these orange slices pressed up tight to each other against the base of an oak tree. The one we found was really big, so we only took a few pieces cut from the big portion. They felt like velvet and raw, didnt taste lilk much. But after he cooked them up, it tasted just like chicken! The 11 herbs and spices he brought along to go with it made it really good, too.

Jade, do you name all of your insects? Or only your favorites?

That's an interesting question, thank you for asking about them.

In the same way you may know a stray cat who you have seen eating kibble from your neighbors porch, even if there is no proper name, you know that animal.

My babies live inside me, so I often think of them as a part of myself, as well. Each and every one of them is ' Jade ' but they are still individuals, too. Grampy says that even an insect has a half soul, so even if I don't have a verbal name to call them by, my heart knows them all apart.

Jade, can you settle the debate? Does the toilet paper go over or under?

Get a bidet, you peasant.

Jade, what's it like to always be the baddest one in the room?

Jade:

By Kami, it is exhausting. But it's my blessing and my curse. Someone has to do it, and it's certainly not going to be Suisei.
