The Guards of the gates are said to be some of the most discipline of all of the ninja in the village, yet it would all fall with the coming of a worm. This worm, no bigger than ones little finger would slither up the streets to the village in a quick like fashion, only to be molested by a hungry bird. The bird, swooping down and swallowing it whole would then fly away towards the village in a normal fashion.
The bird, seemingly carefree would then fall down at the feet of the unsuspecting village guard, noticeably dead. The guard, having some decency would pick the bird up by it's neck and remove it from the streets and kindly expose it back to the wild. . . Little did the man know is that a small worm crawled up his sleeve and soon after he began to cough blood.
