79 Report to Onoki

I took Pakura to the cave where Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato were resting. Despite Pakura being forced to come, she didn't stop me much at all.

When two of them reached the cave, one of my summoned eagle came out and reported to me about my dear three students' progress.

According to him, Yahiko broke all of his damn ribs while Nagato broke some of his shoulder bones. Damn, that Tsunade didn't go easy on even kids at all.

Then I heard the loud laughing noises coming from the cave. It seems Yahiko woke up and being loud as usual. Konan and Nagato also seemed relaxed a bit than before.

'Tch, they sure are relaxed even after disobeying my order. For now, I won't lecture you, brats. But after Pakura is gone, you all dead.'

Pakura and I entered the cave. Yahiko and others also noticed us.

At first, they seemed to feel guilty when seeing me, but as soon as they saw Pakura next to me, they all acted like hyenas hungry for some love drama.

"Woah, Genji! Who is this pretty lady?"

"Is she your girlfriend? When did you meet her?"

"Is this result of your research, Genji-nii?"

They sure were trying their best to make me forget about their punishments. Anyway, it was a bit annoying, so I quickly shut them up.

"Quite down, you brats. There is a guest with us, at least act proper as Iwa shinobi. Her name is Pakura, and because of a certain situation, she will be staying with us for a night. Just make sure you don't disturb her or even I can't protect you when she wants to kill you."

After hearing my words, they all looked at Pakura suspiciously. I was telling them not to let their guard down. Pakura just pissed that I was using her to scare the kids.

"Anyway, you should just stay here. With the kids here, you don't have to worry about me doing something to you, right? Here are the chakra pills."

I smiled at Pakura and reassured her that I won't do anything. Pakura seemed to believe a bit, but still, she kept a 5ft distance from my students and me.

Yahiko tried to converse with her but failed numerously. Eventually, they gave up talking and went to sleep. 2 hours later, Pakura also fell into sleep or maybe just pretended to sleep, I didn't know.

I quietly woke up and made sure no one noticed me. I created an earth clone to deal with a certain lady. She has been following and spying on us for a while now.

"You can come out, Ms. Tsuko. No, Mei!"

"Fufufu, I didn't expect you to even know my real name, Genji-san. As expected, you are a bit different from other guys."

"..."

'I just called out her real name, and she thinks I am special? Don't tell me she hit her head during battle?'

"Anyway, I don't know why you are following me, but I suggest you retreat. If Pakura sees you again, I can't guarantee if you can make it to Kiri or not."

"Ara, are you worrying about me despite reject and slapping me?"

"*Sigh* Just get out here, Mei. This is my last warning, or I will kill you personally."

"Fufu, alright. This time I will retreat, but next time be prepared to become mine."

"Before you go, tell that Mizukage not to send any shinobi more unless if he wants war. Iwa will soon send delegates to negotiate about the chakra metal mine here. I know you came here for that, so don't ask me useless things. I won't answer it."

Mei was surprised that I knew her names, her village, and even her mission detail.

"Wow, I didn't know you had such a spy network. I am more interested in you. Hehe. Thanks for the info. See you in the future!"

She winked at me and left to Kiri. After sending her away, my clone dissolved after sighing heavily.

-----------------------

Pakura sneakily tried to leave early morning before my students or I wake up. But she failed as I already woke up before her.

"Are you going without saying any goodbye? Wow, that hurts me so much."

"Well, thank you for taking care of me last night. I won't forget this favor and will pay you back definitely. Goodbye."

"Haha, no need to pay back. Just give me your heart is enough, haha."

Pakura just ignored me and left the cave to Sunagakure.

'It sure is hard to get a woman's heart.'

I am sure Pakura would be punished for losing more than 80 shinobi when she gets back, but not too harsh as she accomplished her mission.

To me, Suna won't send any more shinobi here as there was no need. I already collect Suna shinobi and Jukan corpses to scroll. Pakura also got hold of Jukan's diary, so there was no need to send shinobi to investigate further.

But this was just my speculation, so I visited the village head secretly after sending Pakura. I told him to rope down Tsunade in this village, at least for a month.

Therefore Suna won't dare to send shinobi here. It was also to buy time to arrange Iwa shinobi to negotiate with Kiri and assign people here.

"Just entertain her, bring her to bar, keep playing games, do festivals, become drink buddy. Whatever you do, just rope her in for a month if you want to survive. She will be the key to drive away more Suna shinobi from here.

After I get back, I will send capable Iwa shinobi to disguise as farmers here. Then you don't have to worry about anything and excavate mines all you want."

"Yes, Genji-sama. I will do my best to keep her in the village as much as I can."

Since I put the seal on the village head, he was listening to me obediently, even though it was an empty seal. He believed that I could kill him anytime as long as he has my seal.

He also knew he was beneficial to work under me, so he became a loyal dog to me totally.

----

After ordering, I went back to the cave. I saw my students still lying down.

"Stop pretending to sleep. I know you all wake up. Now time for your punishments. You dare to disobey me?!!!"

I immediately roared.

Yahiko quickly opened his eyes and begged. Nagato and Konan also lowered their face for punishments.

"Genji-nii. It was me who suggested. Those two just tried to stop and followed me. I will take full blame. Nagato and Konan have done nothing."

"Don't say those bullshit to me. It's team punishments whether you solely did wrong or not. What did you learn from yesterday?

Yahiko, if this was war, you would have been deemed as a traitor!! Because of your selfish action, you put yourself and your dear friend teammates to danger. Not only that, you almost ruined my plan!!!

Also, Nagato and Konan! You two didn't manage to stop Yahiko. You 2 have the same faults as Yahiko. When I was your age, I even kicked my best friend's ball to stop him from doing a reckless thing. Now he is very grateful to me for that!!"

I spent the whole morning lecturing these brats so they won't do anything more foolish in the future.

(In Tsuchikage office)

"... and that was all about my mission, old man," I reported to Onoki.

Onoki was very surprised that I managed to fuck up all Kiri and Suna shinobi. He was also pleased that I found chakra metal mines, one of seven Kiri swords, and influenced the village head to our side.

"Haha, very good. Very good! Genji, you are the pride of Iwagakure. Haha. I really didn't see wrong in you."

"What are you laughing, you old man. This is the second time you mistook C-rank into S-rank mission!! Thanks to that, my students almost drop dead!"

"Calm down. It's not bad for youngsters to experience death situation in a while. As for the rewards, what do you want?"

"I don't need anything. I just want the Kiba (Kiri sword)."

Onoki looked at unhappy that I was demanding the treasure sword.

"Don't be too stingy, old man. I was the one to get it, so naturally, it belongs to me. Besides, I am one of the top sword users in Iwa. It is going to be useless if you just keep it in some dark storage."

Onoki thought for a moment and agreed to give Kiba to me.

"Fine, but you know that never to show it in front of Kiri, right?"

"Of course, I am not an idiot. Anyway, I have done my part. It's your job now to send someone to Kiri to negotiate. Also, don't be too stingy and give them 1% or something like that. I don't want them to report about mines to Suna and make it much complicated than now."

Onoki frowned his face and clicked his tongue. I knew this old man is too greedy.

"Well, I told you what I had to say. I am out of this now. Goodbye!" I told him and went out.

After going out, I went back to my room to check my newly awarded unbreakable butterfly swords given by the system. It truly looked cool and sharp.

'Finally, I have weapons against Sakumo's white saber. Also, it won't break to Tsunade's blows. originally

I first was planning to give Kiba to Yahiko's next birthday. But he just had to ruin my expectation of him. I will give him when he masted Wing Chun sword arts.'
