"I mean, next you'll be dancing around next to the waterfall, singing and stuff. It just isn't manly, Juugo." A shrug. "And Sasuke gets that unconscious twitch whenever he sees crows, seriously."
"But--"
Karin adjusts her glasses irritably. "No buts."

The next day, they started being followed by squirrels.
