Description: I uhhh may have been examining experiments from a VERY unresponsible jounin from….Iwa. I-er THEY, let loose some very unusual frog-like creatures that have infested one of the lakes! These massive creatures are powerful and can discharge incredible voltage! I need them culled as quickly as possible. They're too strong for the local Genin and our jounin are far too busy to handle them. Please bring me a few of their skulls and hides to show you've done a decent job. Three of each should suffice. And DO be careful!
Nira frowned as she made her way toward this infested lake. Supposedly some pretty nasty frogs had begun to completely take over the place. Of all things she was tasked with taking out some of them. A simple task she figured, but prepared for none the less. If she'd learned anything, it was that the simple tasks often posed the biggest issues. Suffice to say her preparations were admittedly a bit meager. She saw no reason to stock up on items she wouldn't need, so the most she'd done was get a good night's sleep and a good meal beforehand. Admittedly the meal was...questionable. But what was one to do?
She made her way to the lake in no time and she was quick to discover the problem. The things were pretty varied in size, but the air practically buzzed with electricity. A number of large animals lay on the ground, in the process of being eaten by these ravenous monster frogs, constantly being shocked into paralysis as the things tore in. It was rather gristly. She shuddered, shaking her head as she looked around. She'd have to improvise. Stroking her chin she figured the best means of culling would be to use traps, as her long-range jutsu was not too suited to these....things. She started with a pit trap. Hunting around for some long branches, she sharpened the tips into sharp points before digging a large pit. Supposedly it would fit a good three of the big ones, but she couldn't be entirely sure how many would start going after her. She then set about making small barbs out of smaller sticks, sharpening them to points and beginning to weave them into a mat. After a few hours she had an intricate and rather large rug of sharp spines, each spine given a small hook to trap the little bastards. Lastly she carved herself a long spear. Hopefully the thing would keep her from being shocked.
With her traps laid she took a deep breath. IT was time to get her some frogskins! Making her way toward the lake she peered toward the water, lightly rubbing her chin. She'd need to attract just enough of them to kill, but not so many that she'd get swarmed. Taking a rock she lightly tossed it about from palm to palm, thinking over before turning her attention to the mass of frogs. Taking careful aim, she lobbed the hunk of stone, the chunkn flying quite nicely before sinking into the skull of one Statog. The thing's eyes rolled bac, showing white before it fell over, dead. Fuck. She watched as a good 9 frogs turned her way and immediately began to hop her way, the 250 pound monsters making wet thumping noises along the way... FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK! She immediately turned and began to run, but not too fast of course. She needed them to keep at her. After a good 9 meters she leaps, hopping over the pitfall trap and narrowly skidding to a stop before the bed of hooked barbs, leaping up, snagging a branch, and swinging to safety. She turned in time to see the first four Statogs rush in before the pitfall crumpled beneath them, a loud series of gurgling groans escaping the pit as they met their end. The other five hopped easily over the pit one after the other. the first two landed and stumbled on that mat of hooked barbs.
With a sharp kkry she lunged, slashign horizontally andd de-throating the two that had stuck initially, darting back as another stuck themselves, then the last two leapt over the mat, making the ninja dodge back, narrowing her eyes. The first fired it's tognue, Nira only barely dodging as she stabbed to the side, pinning that tongue to a tree and wincing as she watched the spot it connected hiss an fizzle as electricity fried the wood, setting it ablaze. She swallowed loudly, grunting as she turned in time to see the pair hiss at her. Panicking, she grabbed a thick, nearby branch and snapped it into a pair of sharp splinters, and with all her might, hucked them. The bristly sharp points struck home, and both of the electric beasts fell down dead on the ground, leaving Nira panting as she put a hand to her chest. These fuckers were no joke, just one hit with a tongue and she'd have been done for!
Walking over to one o the corpses she shook her head, taking a knife out and reaching out to slice into it's neck when a sudden, burst of electricity zapped her! She twitched before she fell to the ground, unable to scream in pain as her neck locked up.
Eventually she was able to recover, and very carefully she tied her knife to a stick. IN this manner she cut into those fat, disgusting frogs, skinning them alive. Once the skin was gone, she found most of that shock was gone, and she found harvesting the skulls a much easier task. Once she had four of them she took a moment to sigh and admire her work. next time she'd definitely need to invest in kunai or some kind of weapon. But for now all she planned on doing was getting this crap to the jounin.
