Toshi's Diary

4/11/2021 - Grandmother has passed on and has chosen Kurama as the new leader. I am a bit upset; Kurama is only my half brother, yet I am the youngest direct descendant. But, Grandmother has taught me not to be bitter of this decision for power corrupts absolutely. Besides, I have been reassigned as babysitter to help Kizuna with the pups, of which there are 14. I shall look to him for guidance as I am quite new to the whole pupsitting business as I prepare for my next role as the breeding male. Aburame was only chosen after Grandfather died to prevent inbreeding, yet I was chosen as the next one long before that because my eyes are two different colors (they call it Heterochromia). I really can't blame her; she had always been a bit of a stickler for looks.

4/15/2021 - There are so many mouths to feed that food has been rather scarce in the mornings, but our hunters and Kurama are able to find enough for all before nightfall. When the pups are a bit older then they will go to other packs; it's always been that way since the beginning.

5/4/2021 - The food situation hasn't improved much, even after the pack size reduction. All the pupsitters, including myself, have been reassigned as hunters, but most hunts end in failure. I fear that we may start to face starvation...I hope Kurama has a plan to combat this....

5/6/2021 - The time has come for me to become the pack's breeding male. Kurama has started to send out "advertisements" towards any prospective female; hopefully one of them will take notice.

7/8/2021 - Uchiha is dead. I have gone from the breeding male to a mentor for the next generation. Kurama feels that he'll be too old by the time he's ready to take on another mate, and I agree with him. We also have a bit of an influenza outbreak, but the wolves affected have been placed in quarantine until Kuzure can craft the medicine needed. The only problem is finding the herbs needed in the recipe and we haven't had much luck finding them....

8/10 - I'm nearly 7 years old. I write this in my twilight years. I have lived a good life and I have many children. I'm glad I wasn't chosen as leader; my life seemed to have more meaning to it as it was.
