Painful Mask

"Boss, can this thing really be eaten?"

Hyuga Tokugawa's face was a little pale as he watched Haru collect a pile of 'worms', then dipped in egg fluid and wrap it with flour, like a chef...

After being persuaded by Haru, Shima went back home and secretly took what Haru needed. Then, he used the excuse of cooking in the field and 'cheated' Aburame Inui, the ranger.

Although setting fire to the mountains, don't forget that Haru is best at Water Escape, so as long as you are careful, there should be no problem.

"Look at your courage. When an excellent ninja is on a mission outside, if you encounter a special situation, there is no food. In order to preserve your strength, let alone insects, you can even take two bites of tree bark. If you don't even have this kind of awareness, I think you should stay in the family for the rest of your life."

In order to deceive these guys to eating insects, Haru began to talk about his fallacious reasoning.

Hyuga Tokugawa and others who had strange expressions immediately began to hypnotize themselves. After all, they were all ambitious people who wanted to be an excellent ninja.

'It was just a few insects. What was there to be afraid of!'

Seeing these guys looking like they were going to the execution ground, Haru secretly felt funny and asked, "Is the oil temperature enough?"

"Alright, boss." Akimichi Nishi nodded immediately.

He was the one who was looking forward to it the most.

Nishi had no resistance toward food, especially delicious food. He believed that his boss would not lie to them.

Haru began to directly cook the 'silkworm chrysalis', and a strange fragrance immediately spread out.

Smelling this smell, Haru, who initially did not have much confidence, suddenly felt refreshed. Sure enough, there was nothing that was not delicious when it was fried with oil!

At this time, it was unknown whether the child next door was hungry or not. Anyway, the faces of Hyuga Tokugawa and others were not so ugly, and there was more expectation in their eyes.

Since eating insects had become an inevitable thing, it was better to eat them!

Soon, the silkworm chrysalis in the pot exploded to a golden yellow color. Haru quickly picked it up and placed it on the plate.

Because he did not know whether it tasted good or bad, and Haru was also muttering in his heart, he only blew up ten of them first.

"Come, come, come! Everyone, quickly try it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."

"Everyone, do it. Don't be polite!"

Haru held the plate eagerly, waiting for the little white mouse 12345 to start eating first. However, Hyuga Tokugawa and the others looked at each other, and their faces were very awkward. The chopsticks in their hands could not fall down.

Even Akimichi Nishi, who was originally looking forward to it, wanted to retreat at the last moment.

He really had never eaten this thing!

In the end, it was Shikakichi who had an idea. "Boss, if you don't move your chopsticks first, we won't dare to do it. This is against the rules."

The others were not stupid and immediately echoed, "Yes, boss, you go first."

Haru looked at the group of bastards who were 'rebelling', and his face immediately darkened. He said with a straight face, "What rules? We are all brothers. Shikakichi, you go first!"

Shikakichi, who was named, instantly turned pale and then immediately sent a cry for help.

However, according to the philosophy of life, if you don't follow, you will die. Hyuga Tokugawa and others immediately pretended to look at the sky and the scenery, avoiding Shikakichi's eyes.

In any case, as long as it wasn't him, it was fine.

'Go, Shikakichi, the organization will remember your sacrifice!'

Gan!

This group of bastards!

Shikakichi never thought that his self-proclaimed intelligent self would actually be sold off by his own people, and he even thought of a way to drag his boss into the water.

It was his turn to sacrifice himself.

"Big Sis..."

The dying Shikakichi quickly looked at Tsunade with a pitiful look.

Tsunade directly showed a kind smile, "What, do you want Big Sis to feed you personally?"

The last hope was shattered, and Shikakichi's face suddenly turned pale.

"Well, it's not like I want you to eat poison. Hurry up. The sky is almost dark." Haru urged impatiently.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, and there was no way for him to escape, Shikakichi simply broke the jar, his face ashen, quickly picked up a fried golden silkworm pupa that was still steaming, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Huh?"

His tightly closed eyes instantly opened.

The skin was crisp, and there was actually meat juice bursting in his mouth. Moreover, the more he chewed, the more fragrant it was. There was also the smell of chicken meat. Was this really the ugly insect?

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Seeing that Shikakichi looked like he had lost his soul, everyone was anxious.

Shikakichi subconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but when he thought of what these bastards had done, he was furious.

"Yes, although it is difficult to swallow, it is not particularly bad. It is mainly because I was in a hurry to swallow it, so... I will try it again."

As he spoke, Shikakichi, who pretended to be in pain, picked up another one and chewed with an expression as if he was eating something painful.

Apart from Haru, almost everyone was stunned by Shikakichi's performance.

'This thing really isn't meant to be eaten by humans!'

'Shikakichi is a good brother!'

'For our sake, he could even eat something that is so unpalatable.'

However, Haru was not confused by Shikakichi's performance because everything could not be judged by appearances but by the essence!

The essence was that Shikakichi, who was shouting that this thing was unpalatable, had reached out his chopsticks for the third time!

Therefore, Haru ignored the surprised looks of others and also pinched one and threw it into his mouth. Suddenly...

'It's so delicious.'

Haru, who was trying hard to maintain his facial expression, still raised his eyebrows. Then, he looked meaningfully at the somewhat embarrassed Shikakichi.

Just when Shikakichi felt that he was dead, Haru did not expose him. Instead, he patted his shoulder with a "constipated" expression.

"You can eat such a horrible thing. You don't want to let your brothers suffer, do you?"

Shikakichi was stunned at first, and then he responded in time in front of someone's threatening eyes, "Alas, although there should be difficulties between brothers, but... don't make things difficult for others."

As he spoke, Shikakichi threw another one into his mouth with a face that was about to suffocate.

'How fragrant!'

Haru said with a serious face, "That's true. Since that's the case, I won't force everyone."

Hyuga Tokugawa and the others heaved a sigh of relief, but they were also a little ashamed and moved.

However, they felt that something was not quite right because it was clearly such a 'disgusting' thing. Why was the speed at which Haru and Shikakichi moved faster and faster?
