Chapter 37 - Meeting with Shuji again

I had a great time as vice-head of 100 aid unit. I didn't have to set up my own tent or prepare for meals. In fact, I didn't have to go to dine with everyone as they would bring my food to my tent.

No wonder everyone was jealous of me. You do nothing but eat and sleep comfortably while there are no enemies to worry about. You basically get to have a peaceful and relaxed life. Hehehe I hope this trip goes forever.

However, my peaceful days didn't last long as our 100 unit arrived at Iwa defense division basecamp after 10 days.

Iwa defense division was led by Uncle Masashi before, but now since Kazekage appeared, it is co-managed by Uncle Masashi and ROCK division head.

Uncle Masashi personally came to greet our aiding unit with several shinobi. I could visibly see several new scars on his face. I guess battlefield here is also crazy since even he got the scars.

Gari and I was surprised to see that there was also Shuji (academy best friend) next to Uncle Masashi. It seems like Uncle Masashi pulled some strings to get Shuji near him.

'What a lucky bastard to be protected by strong father' Gari and I looked at him with jealous.

Uncle and Shuji also were surprised to see me and Gari. Then, they were more shocked about I was the vice-head of the unit.

"Genji, Gari. I am happy to see you two as part of aiding unit. Genji, I am very surprised to see you as vice-head of aiding unit.

Haha, as expected of our Iwa's greatest genius." Uncle Masashi commented.

We all greeted each other suddenly, we all heard a loud noise bell.

"Oh, shit. This is the sound when enemies are incoming. Why did Suna attack us now? Okay, I am going out to the battlefield.

Genji, although you guys just arrived here with no rest, I want you guys to also go participate. We need every power we have.

Shuji, you go around alert, everyone. Just stay at base and tend the injured ones." Uncle Masashi ordered.

'What the fuċk, we just got here!! Now we go straight to the battlefield?? Just how shit is my luck??'

But suddenly, Shuji just shouted at Uncle Masashi.

"No, Dad!! I don't want to stay in the camp anymore. I want to go out in frontline and fight with Genji and others!!"

'What?? Do you want to go to the frontline?

Me, Gari, Gin, and Kan are forced to come here, but you have every option. And you choose that suicide option?

You must have screwed your damn head to ask that stupid question!!

Shuji, you clearly hasn't experienced how scary the battlefield is.'

Uncle Masashi stopped moving and looked back at Shuji with an angry face.

'Ahhh, shit. We just got caught in the family father-son selfish fight.

Well, this is way better as no one here will leave. I hope they just stay here fight all day until Suna ends their offense. '

"Alright, I guess I can't treat you as a kid forever. Try not to die on your first battlefield.

Genji, I hope you stay with Shuji to take care of him, please."

'Huh?? You guys just looked at each other for 3 minutes and uncle Masashi admit defeat??? How??

And why the fuċk are you involving me too! You should protect him yourself!!!'

"Don't worry uncle. As long as me and Gari here, we won't let Shuji die, not even injure. Leave him to us." I answered with a fake smile.

"Then I will leave him to me. Shuji, you must obey every Genji's order." after saying Uncle Masashi left.

Soon our aid unit and Shuji also entered to battlefield.

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

Me, Gari, Gin, Kan, and Shuji, 5 of us always stick together and fought off enemies.

Suna shinobi were a bit stronger than other Suna shinobi I faced before. I guess shinobi accompanying Kazekage's division is a lot tough.

Unexpectedly Shuji was stronger than I anticipated. Although he was not as strong as four of us, he could at least beat Chunin by himself.

I guess he got taught a lot from Uncle Masashi.

"Shuji is doing pretty well for his first time on the battlefield. Though for my first time, I didn't even break my sweat." Gari talked like a profound senior judging his junior or something.

I narrowed my eyes to Gari.

'This guy was scared as shit, fighting with two Suna chunins on his first time. Now he got so used to the battlefield that he even dares to talk while fighting.

Wait, is this how they develop talking syndrome during battle? They get used to battle that they even talk to enemies? Hmm, Interesting theory!'

Suddenly Gin shouted at us with panic voice.

"Guys wake up! Help Shuji hurry! He got cornered by three jounins!"

Gari and I instantly looked for Shuji and saw him getting kicked by three Suna shinobi like a rag in the middle of the battlefield.

'How the heck did he get so far away from us in a short time? Also three jounins?'

I quickly performed several hand signs while Gari rushed at them.

"Earth style: Swamp of Underworld"

I created swamp below them to restrict their movement. Three Jounins's attentions were on me.

Gari pulled out several kunai from his pocket and pointed at three Suna Jounins.

"Ninja arts: Rocket Kunai"

Gari used an explosion on his hands to fly off his kunai to three Jounins. However, Jounins were experienced and successfully blocked Kunai despite having their feet restricted.

While three Suna Jounins were busy blocking Gari's Kunai, Gin, Kan, and me performed hand signs.

"""Earth style: Stone Pistol"""

We each shot several lumps of boulders at Jounins's behind. Seeing they were disadvantages, they used powerful wind jutsu on their legs to free themselves from the swamp and quickly dodged our stone pistol boulders.

'We lost you for just a minute, and somehow you provoked three Jounins and ended up getting ȧss kicked. What a troublesome guy you are, Shuji.'

"Gin, you take Shuji to a safe place. Gari, Kan, and I will deal with these three Suna jounins and catch up with you guys." I ordered.

"Hey Genji, I am alright. I can still fight." Shuji replied to me.

"Shuji, just rest and leave these guys to us. To be honest, you are a bit weak to handle these guys. Don't worry, you will have another chance to fight with Jounin." I tried to persuade Shuji.

If he still didn't listen to my order, I was about order Gin to fȯrċɨbŀƴ knock him out. It was best to knock out these type of shinobi who just won't obey the order. But luckily he managed to understand and followed my order.

"Okay, be careful guys," Shuji said and escaped with Gin.

I pulled out my buŧŧerfly swords and charged with lighting chakra. My swords instantly became bright white as electricity could be visibly seen.

"Be careful, these kids are not regular kids. Don't look down on them just because of their age." one of Suna Jounins commented.

"Alright, Gari you take right Jounin. Kan, you take left's while I take mid one. Try to finish as much as you can. Now, charge!" I commanded.

It took us almost half an hour to finish those 3 Jounins. After a few taijutsu exchanges, I cornered my opponent with numerous Earth style jutsu and trapped him using Earth Prison Dome.

When he broke out, I used Earth style: Earth travel jutus to sneaked him from behind and simply cut off his head with my lighting buŧŧerfly swords.

I quickly went to Gari and Kan to help and we eventually killed off the remaining 2 Jounins. After seeing their shinobi being executed, other Suna shinobi tried to attack us.

But we used a smoke bomb and clones to misdirect them. We hurried as Gin and Shuji were probably waiting for us.

We followed the trails that Gin left for us and managed to reach at their location.

Gin was wrapping bandages around Shuji's head.

"Hey guys, did you guys finish off those Suna shinobi?" Shuji asked us.

"Yea, we swiftly killed them, no worry. No one followed us. I must say, Gin you did a good job founding a quiet place like this." I praised Gin while taking out a chakra pill from my pocket.

"Haha, did you forget, I am super great at finding hiding spot." Gin replied.

Just as Gin spoke, we all heard loud BOOOMMM and sounds of jutsu clashing each other.

"You just had to jinx it, Genji" Gari looked at me annoyingly.

"Shut up Gari, let's all take a look first."

We all went to the direction of loud battle noise. Soon we saw 3 figures fighting.

There were Uncle Masahi, masked man, and Third Kazekage!!

'Holy shit, this is a actually battleground for the Kage-level shinobi.

That masked man is wearing Iwa ROCK uniform, must be head of ROCK. It seems like Uncle Masashi and ROCK head are fighting against Kazekage.'

I looked at Gin with hateful looks.

'Great at finding hiding a spot, my ȧss! You just took us to the hellfire of abyss! If you get caught in a Kage-level fight, you will definitely die.'

Shuji saw his father and quickly tried to rush at him to help.

Luckily, Gari swiftly grabbed Shuji and stopped him.

"You idiot, that's freaking Kage they are facing. Even if you go down there, you will only cause hindrance for Masashi-san." Shuji got told off by Gari.

Gari was right and just as I was about to order for a retreat, I heard the sound of the system.

System: " Host has triggered Non-obligatory Quest. Host may choose not to do the quest.

*Quest: This is the first time Host has encountered in Kage-level fight. Please observe until the end to gain battle insights.

Reward: A pill to erase the host's presence for 5 minutes. ( Not even sensors or Kage-level shinobi can't detect.)

Failure: There is none. This is Non-obligatory Quest.*"

System's quest stopped me from saying the word 'retreat'.

'Reward is what? Erase my presence for 10 seconds, not even freaking Kages can detect!! With that shit, I can literally run away from any Kages.

Now the question is should I accept this quest or not. Hmmm...

Ah, screw it. It's not like I have to face with Kage or anything, just observe. Let's hope Kazekage thinks of us flies and don't deal with us.

I am sure Uncle Masashi will cover us even if Kazekage attack us since Shuji is with us.'

I ordered gangs to move to a far place but where we can still observe the fight.
