Chapter 32 - Garis bribery (1/2)

Currently, every day was a literal hell for me. If other Iwa shinobi was having a hard time, then I was having an extra hard time than them.

In the daytime, I have to be prepared to risk my life to defend for Suna's offenses.

In the night time, I had to transform and pretend to be Kento to encourage Iwa shinobi. This was taking a toll on me.

Also, our food storages are almost empty, at most we have only 3 days worth. If we quickly don't do something, we are so screwed.

”Bro, I found tons of mushrooms 100m away from here. Come hurry!!” Gari told us.

Currently, Gari and my squad (only 2 left now) were searching for the food to eat ourselves. When we saw the fruits and mushrooms, my squad members got angry and started to kick Gari.

”You idiot, these are poisonous mushrooms. Are you trying to kill us or what? Didn't you learn about poison mushrooms during when you are in explosion corps 5th division?”

”I know they are poison, damn it. But all of us are trained to endure poison mushroom, so it's okay for us to eat them!” Gari started to fight back.

”Are you fuċkɨnġ dumb? We learned about poison mushrooms so we can avoid eating them, not to gulp them down to your dirty mouth!!!”

”I was told that we could eat them in case of an emergency!!”

Just as Gari and squad members were fighting, we saw a bird coming at us.

”Oh, please, like hell we can not find any animals here. See!! We already found a bird.

Now we just have capture it. Just let you know Gari, we not gonna share it with you if you keep being a stubborn ȧss.” Saying these words, my squad members started to shoot kunai and shuriken to kill the bird.

”And if I capture it, you guys are getting nothing!”

Gari also joined, in hunting the bird shamelessly.

However bird was very quick and nimbly dodged the Kunai and shurikens.

For some odd reason, the bird kept coming at us despite we were trying to kill it. I thought the bird definitely had mental problems.

Finally, Gari used his explosion to speed up his kunai and killed the bird. Squad members all had a frustrating face.

”Shit, how come that bird is so nimble and fast??”

Saying the words, Gari started to ran to get the bird.

The rest of us also followed Gari, went to the place where the bird fell.

But all of us stopped moving when we had a clear look at the bird.

”Shit, that bird...” one of the squad members couldn't even finish his sentence.

”Yea, that bird IS our explosion corps MESSENGER BIRD!!!!” I finished his sentence.

In explosion corps, there is a certain rule: We must not kill explosion corps' messenger birds.

If you go against this rule, punishment is 50 million yen fine and have to finish 20 A-rank missions without any payment.

This rule obviously indicates that the explosion corps' messenger bird is very valuable.

Explosion corps' messenger bird is very special compared to regular messenger-bird.

They can explode themselves up if they are caught by enemies, to protect the information.

Also, they are very super damn hard to breed. I guess this is the main reason why punishment is so harsh.

All of us looked at Gari. Gari's jaw was still wide opened and we could see that he was very terrified.

”Dude, how can you kill our explosion corps' messenger bird? You really have a gut, I tell you that.”

”Yea, I think you should get glasses in the future to see better. Honestly, we tried to stop you, but you never listened to us.”

”Even if you are hungry, you shouldn't break the rule, bro.”

Seeing all of us were sprouting bullcraps and blaming him, Gari snapped back and started to curse back.

”What? You guys also threw shurikens to kill the bird. Actually, you guys first started to hunt the bird. How dare you pretend to be a nice guy!!”

”Hey, but it's you who killed it. Good luck paying 50 million yen and 20 A-rank mission. Hahahaha!!” Squad members made fun of Gari.

”Wait, besides 4 of us here, no one saw this, right? Then as long as I shut you guys' mouth, nobody knows this. hehehehe, hahahahaha!” Gari laughed like a villain found an ultimate way to destroy the world.

He looked at me first, I knew he was trying to shut my mouth. But I was planning to let this slide as he saved my ȧss countless times during the battles and also he closed his eye when I save Nagato too.

”Don't worry, bro. I owed you a lot. I will close my eyes and pretend this didn't happen.” I replied to Gari.

Gari was touched and gave me 'You are the best friend' look.

”Thanks very much, Genji.”

”Hey, you are still not safe yet. I am not sure about those two over there.” I told Gari.

Gari quickly looked at our 2 squad members.

”Hey, I saved you two ȧsses, last battle. So you better shut your mouths about this.”

”Please, Gari. We also saved your ȧss last, last battle. So I think we didn't owe you anything.

Gari suddenly walked towards them and while his hand was in Kunai pocket. His eyes looked intimidating and deadly.

”I didn't want to use this method, but you guys left with no choice,” Gari said after getting close to them, enough distance to stab them.
