Slime.....
Spit....
Wet....
Is all I think about inside this thing.
Yes.....
I am inside a giant toad.
No....he didn't eat me.
He is fighting the dragon with me in his mouth.
The plan is to blow me towards the enemy when the time is right, and I will stab with a naginata in the head.
Or, improvise....
Whatever.
I can see a thousand ways this can go wrong.
But I'm immortal, so there is nothing to worry about.
Or at least that's what Gama sama said.
I can feel the shock wave from inside.
He is fighting with his giant tanto.
Sounds like the tanto is bouncing right off the dragon's scales.
If he can't kill it from outside, then it will be my job to kill it from inside.
I hope my body won't melt completely inside the dragon.

[Ichi viewpoint]
The giant leapt into the sky.
A sharp winch in its face.
He flaps his legs to shake off the corrosive vomit.
The mucous membranes on his body aren't much help against the toxic effect, though.
Gama sama ate Fardin chan.
He didn't complain.
I screamed a lot when I was swallowed.
This is what you have to do to be a toad summoner.
They gobble you up, spit you right back!!
It's chakra training, they said.
But Fardin isn't doing chakra training.
He is fighting alongside him.
And he is only Genin.
I can tell he felt pain when he protected me.
He is still feeling pain.
I saw it in his eyes.
He was in so much pain when the vomit hit him.
Yet he...is still going to fight.
But how..... Gama sans tanto won't penetrate.
The other jounins are occupied, so there won't be any backup.
I see Fardin chan sticks out of his lips and scream something.
"You sure, kid!??!!", Gama sama asks while smacking the dragon.
It got him in a bind and is trying to bite him.
Gama sama blocks its mouth with his huuuuge pipe.
Then ....He spits.
Did he spit Fardin chan inside the dragons mouth?
He... he will.....die.....
He is just a genin.....
The dragon continues to fight Gama sama after swallowing Fardin like nothing happened.
As if it was delighted after having a little snack.
After a few seconds of airborne battle, they once again land, creating shock waves.
The dragon doesn't attack.
Gama sama changes stance.
He is in a defensive position.
Suddenly it starts to scream.....not of anger, not of rage....
But of pure agony and terror.
Like something is tearing itself from the inside.
Gama sama jumps up and pins it down with his tonto.
It shoots vomit all over the place but....
It looks red.
There is blood in the vomit and bits of bone and meat.
It is being cooked from the inside by its own toxic vomit.
The dragon flops around like a dying chicken while Gama sama holds it down.
Eventually, it dies.
I get down from the hill and make my way to the corpse.
I see a ... huge slug.....??? In the distance.
What is up with the enemies today....!?
Everything is so freekin' big!!
Gama sama sits there atop the corpse while smoking.
"Gama sama.....where is Fardin chan?", I ask.
He taps the dragon's belly.
"Can you cut him out?" I ask.
"Don't know girl....you boy might be dead", he cut open the stomach nonetheless.
Blood and vomit spill out.
I cover my face with a mask.
Along with all this gore .....
I see head roll out.
It's melted and barely recognisable.
###########
Woop....I passed out there for a second.
That dragon chewed me good before swallowing.
Finding that vomit sag took a lot of effort.
Even though I could see it clearly in the dark.
So I have night vision too....
Like cats?
That's sweet.
I smack my lips and open my eyes.
Ichi san is here.
"Heiii.... Medic san! You are here!" I exclaim.
She dropped me.
Wait.....
Am I just my head?
Where is the rest of my body?
I can feel my legs.... and hands....
Are they still inside the dragon?
Ichi san falls to her knees while screaming.
"Aren't you a live one?" Gama sama scoffs.
"Ohh...Gama sama.... Nice to see you okey!", I flip my head to his side.
"You gotta be a thousand years old to worry about me, kid!", he let out smoke like a chimney.
He suddenly stops.
"Or.... are you a thousand-year-old guy?", he asks something weird.
"No....?.... I'm like....16", I say with a smile.
"Fardin chaaaan!", Ichi san got a hold of her self.
That was fast.
I would've been out of it for a day if I ever saw a half-melted talking head.
Comes with being a medic, I guess.
She scoops my head up.
"I'm so glad you are alive", she says.
"I said I'm immortal, didn't I?", I'm still smiling.
She bites down on her lips.
"I'm sorry I dropped you".
"It's okay.... I'm filthy", I shrug, even though I don't have a body.
"No...Fardin chan.....you.....you are not filthy", she says with a statter.
"Ichi san..... are you crying? Why are you crying?" I ask.
"I'm not", she denies.
"Oh.....", I don't push the subject any longer.
I don't like prying into people's business.
But I don't like making a girl cry either.
Let's just divert her attention.
"Well, could you help me find my...body parts? I can't fight with just a head", I say jokingly.
Ichi san looks at me with wide eyes.
"Or....you can strap me to a shuriken! You bet the enemies will piss thier pants when they see a screaming head flying right at them.... ha ha ha ah!!!!!", I lough.
It's just me laughing.
Nobody is laughing.
"Kid..... what rank are you?", Gama sama asks.
"Oh..... Im a genin", I say giddily.
Gamabunta scratches his head.
"Shit.... I threw a genin at a dragons face..... this won't look good on my record".
"Hei.... I didn't die right?", I remind.
Gama sama scoffs but doesn't say anything.
"Let's find his body first, Gama san", Ithci san stands up abruptly.
"Oh...yeah...", Even Gama sama is confused at the sudden swing in mood.
I guess she is back to her less talkative persona..
Wait.... didn't Ichi san call him "sama"?
Oooooohhhhh!....
Gama sama go demoted to san.
I guess it really does look bad for his record.
"I think my eye got stuck under that mud!" I point out.
Itchi san carefully carries me around to make me whole again.
Even though I'm filthy.
"Let's cut that tummy open wider and bring out the rest of ya' ", Gama sama huffs.
Suddenly, my head starts to spin,, and my eyes are heavy.
"Oooh.... Gama sama! You might wanna hurry up,
I'm feeling sleepy here!" I urge.
The toad king rummages inside the dragon's stomach and pulls my body out by the leg.
Itchi san attaches my body to my head and I.....feel like a sort of connection built up.
It's as if.....I was fading and now I'm whole again.
Literally.
"Oouuuhhh! I thought I was immortal!" I shudder.
"You ain't no immortal kiddo!", Gama sama takes out a huge scroll from his back and seals the dragon's body.
"You are just a talking corpse".
