It hadn't been long since gattsu was last sent off the clans lands, but this time, he planned on being gone for a long while. Having only a small packs worth of belongings, and enough food to last nine days if he stretched it. The rations were stale and awful tasting, but could sit for months without worry of spoiling. The morning fog obstructed all but the first fifteen feet or so in front of him, so he made the early part of the days travel go by while singing a jaunty tune from the clan. After a few hours of walking without much more than trees and fog, gattsu finally found himself at a clearing with a large enough tree to have a vantage point while he ate. "Looks like a good enough spot." Climbing a few branches to a comfortable seat, he notices a nest of birds that is clearly being reconstructed for the umpteenth time, claw marks and branch nubs abound. "Looks like you've had some trouble, birdie. You don't seem to be much of a snack for them though." Watching through the leaves of his newfound perch, he relaxed for a few minutes, pondering about the potential applications for chakra based medicine. Freezing wounds, or organizing blood flow. It could even potentially be possibly to control someone's breathing if you were adept enough with the wind. Some rustling in the distance made the bird tense up, alerting gattsu to the newcomer to the trees clearing. "Oh, looks like we've got a lively one, coming back for the snack he missed out on earlier.
An only a brief moment, a blur of white fur darted from the edge of the clearing, making it to the tree in about a second. In mere moments, the wolf made it to the tree, and was hunched down, preparing to jump to snatch the nest. Controlling his breathing so as not to alert the animal, gattsu prepared to counter it's strike. It was only a second, but it seemed to strech to the length of eternity, in a flash, the wolf was caught by the neck, mere inches from the neat of the newfound bird. A simple but effective solution, gattsu had clamped his grip firmly around the beasts neck, allowing the hyoton chakra to flow from his fingers. "Now now, my friend is not your snack. Begone, before I make you a snack of my own." Releasing his grasp on the wolf, it fell to the ground, stunned by the turn of events. It ran back to the edge of the clearing before looking back, almost as if to get a better look at the thing that had pulled the meal from its maw. "Welp, that's all the time I have for lunch. You should probably build your nest higher up next time." Hopping down and continuing on the path he was carving, the sun nearing noon had cleared enough fog to warrant more travel for the day.
