I am Fardin.
Yeah, pretty weird name for someone from Konoha.
Doesn't mix well with the likes of Mijuki and Tori.
They are my teammates, rather,
Subordinates for now, due to some special circumstances.
"How long have we been doing this for now?", Tori asks while squeezing his shirt.
It's raining cats and dogs outside.
I take a whiff of my smoke. Mijuki slaps the cigarette off my lips.
"You are 16!" she reminds me and takes the pack away from my pouch.
"It was the last pack sensei had on him", she murmurs.
Yeah, like keeping a cigarette pack as a momento would do any good.
Why let it go to waste?
"Almost a month?" I answer Tori's question since our girl boss is busy crying for our jounin instructor who died protecting us from a Sand ninja ambush.
"How long have we been running back and forth like this? I wanna kick some sand ninja ass!", Tori jumps with excitement.
"Instead they stuck us up with some lame ass supply mission", he slumps down.
The rain is somehow becoming even more windy.
The giant frog leaf we took shelter under won't last long.
"We are genin", I say while trying to look into the heavy rainfall.
If something so much as moves an inch, I'm throwing a bomb seal at it.
"That's bullshit! I've seen a bunch of genin going to the front lines", Tori retorts.
"There are some rumours of a bunch of super genius genin getting field promoted to chunin too", Mijuki chimes in.
"How?" Tori asks with excitement.
"They say one of them killed a jounin solo", Mijuki says as she unpacks the launch.
"That's Minato Namikaje", I remind them.
"Oo...", Tori again slumps down, hearing that name.
That name really blows the wind out of him.
Minato is 5 years younger, yet he made Genin long before us.
We were enlisted because of the war.
The 2nd ninja war.
"Will you stop looking around like some chicken?", Mijuki yells at me." It's not like someone will attack us in the freekin' land of fire".
"We are on the border", I remind her.
"Yes! I get it! But you can't just remain paranoid like this, you almost killed a kid the other day!" Mijuki folds her arms as she talks about the refugees we met the other day
"That kid was trying to kill us", I remind her.
"Do you have to kill anything that tries to kill us?", Mijuki asks with a sarcastic tone.
What the fuxk is this bitch saying?
Is she crazy?
We are in wartime.
"Yes", I say firmly.
"You are calling me a bitch in your mind, aren't you?", she reads my mind like an open book.
I look away.
Something tugs me by my sleeve.
My body trembled with a jerky reflex, my hand almost went for my kunai.
Mijuki is tugging on me.
"Fardin.....just .....please....relax for once....", she pleads.
I sigh.
"Haah..... okay.... let's eat", I give in and turn around.
I can't see Mijuki's face as if her head is turned around by 180 degrees.
Her hand slips out of my sleeve, and she falls down like a rag doll on the mud.
Something fell down behind and grabbed hold of my head.
An enemy?
My head is also rotated 180 degrees with a cracked sound,, and I see the person behind me without turning around.
The bastard smiles at me with all his teeth out.
Like he is enjoying the look on my face.
Strangely enough....
I don't feel....
Anything....
No pain....
Nothing.
I simply turn my body around and stab him in the heart.
"Ho....how....?", he asks as he falls to his knees.
I ponder for a bit....
Sensei always said that I have a flexible body.....
Didn't know it would be to this extent.
I simply cut off the neck veins and kicked him off to bleed away on the ground.
"Fardiiiiin!!!", I hear Tori scream.
He is struggling against another enemy while being pinned down to a tree trunk.
I unsheathed my sword, and with one fell swoop, I cut his shoulder all the way down to his heart.
He falls down with a croaked sound.
"Serves you right! Suna mother fuckers!", Tori spits at him.
He also falls down while hugging the tree.
There is something embedded on his chest.
I kneel down and pull it out.... blood splatters on my face.
"Mijuki! First aid!" I scream while applying pressure.
No response.
This bitxh is always slow with stuff!
"Mijuki! I need a suture here" My sleeve is drenched with blood.
"She is dead, man....", Tori whispers.
"Biiiiich!!!! Mijukiiiiii!!!!", I scream again.
"She is fuxking dead man!!!!", Tori screams.
"No....noooooo...no...mhhhuuuuiiggh!!!!!", I scream.
"She's dead, mate.....she is....gone", he holds my shoulder.
"I.... can't stop the bleeding,, man! I put both my hands on his chest.
"Your.....your left hand's gone....Tori! ", I scream.
"Uuh...it will be hard jerking off", he raises his eyebrows.
"You jerk off with left hand! You fucking psychopath!!!", I use a ninja wire to tightly wrap his cut arm.
"I finger your mom with the other", he says with a smile.
"I don't care, I don't know who she is!", I pull him up on my back.
Put a thick patch of gauze in his chest with some mud.
That stopped the bleeding, but I'm guessing it won't save him.
Have to get back to the village.
We...
We are miles away.
Okay.....let's hightail.
I just learned tree walking.
I can do this!
I can do this!!!!!
Yes!!!!!
"Let me.....go ...fucker!", he whispers with a cough.
"Shut up".
"I won't make it....".
"Just shut up".
"Just....let me rest goddammit! Stop jumping!" he screams.
I stop.
Sat him down.
"Give me a cigarette ", he asks.
I put one in his mouth and lit it up.
He takes a puff.
"Sensei will go to hell for making us addicts", he scoffs.
"She sure will", I whisper, trying not to cry.
"See ya' in hell then?", he asks.
"Yeah.....yeah.... I.....I will be there", I try to smile.
He takes one last puff.
There is still half left.
"Don't mind if you do", I take the rest for myself.
Why let it go to waste.
I take a puff of the smoke.
It's like....my ....my head is suddenly cooler.
Faster.
Whew! What's in this shi!?.
Am I getting high?
My ear is ringing a bit.
If I look harder, I can even count the rain.
I hear splash.
Something is moving in the rain.
The 3rd enemy?
From behind?
He thrusts something long towards my back.
But it doesn't hit me.
Cause, I somehow bend my back so damn hard that it looked like my spine is broken.
The spear instead sticks to the tree.
I pull an upword kick before the enemy can react.
To my surprise, it connects.
And it wasn't even a clone for peet's sake.
"You actually came to stab me yourself! A fuxing jounin! I am fucking honoured!", I brandished my sword while back flipping away.
"Huh!.. Could've died peacefully like that bitch over there! Don't blame me if It make extra painfull", the jounin answered while unsealing another long spear.
The Suna people used a variety of weapons.
One if them just happned to be this wierd kind of Naginata with only a pooky end instead of a blade.
Never fought against a spear user before.
My cigarette is still on my lips.
It feels amazing everytime I take a puff!
What's in this shit!?
The jounin comes in with incredible speed.
But I dodge it effortlessly.
I should be dead!
What the fuxk is happening!
My teammates are dead!
I'm high and fighting a jounin toe to toe!!!
This.....
This is the best day of my life!
Why do I feel so happy!?
"Fucking hiiiiiiiiiiigg!", I scream.
"Just die! Brat!", the jounin screams.
Whatever is happening, something is telling me it won't last long.
The jounin takes a step back while clicking his tounge in disappointment.
Stuffing the spear in his armpits, he casts a few signs.
I take the chance to rush in for an attack.
Oh boy, was that a wrong move.
A fucking spike made up of stone came out of mud and impales me.
I see my guts spilling along the shiny rock.
I'm going to die. I'm so high that I can't even feel pain.
Still..... that fun.
Closing my eyes I await the inevitable.
The jounin looks around.
Probably just being cautious.
He searches my body for anything useful.
Clicks his tongue in disappointment.
Hmm....
When will I die?
They say you still remain conscious for a while even after death.
I....
I can move my toe.
The jounin notices.
But I've already stabbed him in the stomach with thre katana
"Fuck", the enemy chops at my arm with a tanto.
But he fails to get a clean cut.
I take the chance and do a full sweep of his gut.
His entrails come spilling.
His jutsu breaks, and I flop helplessly on the ground.
There is a bleeding hole in my chest, yet I am still alive.
"What the fuck are you!!?", the jounin coughs blood.
"I don't know ", I answer as I pull my sword out of his stomach.
"I just smoked my sensei's cigarettes ", i go for the killing blow.
"Got a light for me?", he asks.
My hand stops.
Is he asking his enemy for a smoke?
I put one in his mouth and Light it up.
He takes a deep breath.
"Don't feel too bad about it", I raise my sword like an executioner.
"I've seen infents fight better then you", he scoffs.
"It's a weird world we live in".
The enemy chuckles.
"You are a chill dude", I say with a wry smile.
He nods.
I bring down my katana
His head falls down.
But his body stands erect.
Patches of smoke coming out of his neck like chimney.
"That was quite the show", I think outloud while trying to feel my chest.
There is a basketball-sized hole in my abdomen with intestines sticking out.
And my right hand is flapping like a brocken twig.
I take out the tanto, blood comes spilling out.
"What the fuck am I?", I wonder.
Did sensei's cigarettes do this?
No, then that guy Tori and the jounin would be alive.
So, it's just me.
As I take a step something fell off.
I look at the ground to see a beating heart.
"Oh.... didn't see this one", I yank out the kunai that was on my chest.
That fucker actually managed to stabe on the chest too.
Jounins are scary.
I look at the heart.
It's .....still pumping.
With a squeeze, I flush out all the blood; it's still pumping.
Can.....can I just put it back in?
I didn't have enough time to read anatomy, but there should be a layer separating my guts from my lungs.
I managed to go past it and put it in place.
And my guts.....
Yeah....
I just put them back in and stiched the skin with a few sutures.
Okey....it feels surprisingly solid.
Let's get out of here.
