Chapter 38 - Kage-level Battle

Masashi and Head of ROCK were currently fighting against Kazekage.

Although Masashi and Head of ROCK were considered two of the most powerful shinobi in Iwa, they were still fighting with the rumored strongest Kazekage.

"Iron sand: Scattered Showers!"

Iron sands hardened into minuscule grains and attacked simultaneously at Masashi and head of ROCK in insane speed.

"Dodge quickly!!" Head of ROCK () alerted to Masashi.

Masashi tried to hide behind the giant tree but as the iron sand bullets were so fast, he got scratched by several Iron sand bullets.

"Are you okay?" head of ROCK asked Masashi.

"This is nothing compared to what I faced before. Don't worry," Masashi said while wiping off the bleeds on his face.

Kazekage slowly walked up and told them.

"I must commend you two for holding me off 6 months now.

But this is getting annoying. It's time to end our fight. Today I will make sure to kill both of you. As long as I kill you two here, Iwa's defense force will crumble."

"Please, it will take you at least 50 years to kill me. Instead, we will kill you first. Let's get serious," Masashi talked back to Kazekage and clapped his hands to focus.

"Earth style: Stone Golem jutsu!"

(A/N: This is the same jutsu Akatsuchi used to protect Onoki. The size of the golem differs depending on use, but it always possesses an ample amount of brute strength. Onoki used this jutsu during battle with Madara.

Let's say Masashi created the same size as Onoki's Stone Golem.)

Massive Golem rose from Masashi's below.

"Impressive, but do you really think that huge lump of earth can help you defeat me?" Kazekage said.

"I am also here. Earth style: Rock Armor jutsu." Head of ROCK shouted.

(A/N: this jutsu allows the user to flow earth-chakra through their body, absorbing the properties of earth around them to form an Earth armor. The armor can defend from all forms of blunt-force trauma. At the same time, it enhances the user's strength while their speed is also greatly increased.)

Mask's body now is covered by earth, looked intimidating.

"I will crush you! Mask, support me" Masashi shouted at Head of ROCK while charging at Kazekage with his golem.

(A/N: Head of ROCK, Masashi calls him by 'Mask' as Masashi doesn't know his name.

I will state him 'Mask' too from now.)

"Got it!" Mask replied to Masashi.

Giant Golem threw his fist to Kazekage. Kazekage formed several barriers using his iron sand to block Golem's punch.

BAMM!!

Although Golem's punch was powerful, Kazekage successfully blocked its punch.

"Not bad," Kazekage commented.

"I told you I was also here!" Mask charged at Kazekage with tremendous speed, landed a kick.

Kazekage knew he can't dodge, therefore he quickly wrapped himself with iron sand to take less damage, but he still got flown away a few meters.

"Tch! It seems like I have underestimated you two by a lot. But that's enough. I will get serious too." Kazekage stood up.

"HYAAA!"

Iron sands started to spread out and ultimately covered the whole battleground to iron sand.

"This jutsu is called Iron sand Domain. I can control anything in this domain by forming any structure I want in a matter of seconds using iron sand. Like this."

Kazekage flicked his fingers and suddenly massive iron sand spikes came out and stabbed Masashi's Golem.

Although Golem didn't break, it still left cracks. Masashi and Mask were surprised.

"You got to do better than that do destroy my Golem" Masashi angrily said.

Mask again charged at Kazekage with insane speed. But with Kazekage's single hand gesture, iron sand wall rose and blocked Mask.

Then, iron sand from ground clutched Mask's leg, started to slam and knock him to ground repeatedly for 1 minute and threw him away.

Mask quickly got up angrily. What was surprising is that he only had slight bruises even after all that beat up. The toughness of Rock Armor was indeed on another level.

"Is that all you got! Not enough to break my rock armor!" Mask said to Kazekage.

Kazekage was a bit surprised at the toughness of rock armor, but still maintained calmness.

"Doesn't matter how tough your Golem or armor is. Eventually, they will be broken by my iron sands." Saying the words, Kazekage started to form giant spears from the ground and threw at Masashi and Mask

They kept fighting for 10 minutes until they all felt terrifying and malicious chakra at the same time.

They quickly stopped fighting and looked the direction.

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

(MC POV)

After setting up traps around, me and gangs were quietly watching the battle between Uncle Masashi, Mask (Head of ROCK), and Kazekage.

Uncle Masashi created giant Golem, while Mask's body changed to earth and dashed at Kazekage.

They seem to be winning for a moment. But soon Kazekage used the power of screaming and iron sand started to cover the whole ground.

Luckily it hasn't reached our hiding place, or else it would have been a disaster.

After Kazekage used his technique, he started to dominate the battle. Uncle Masashi and Mask only could defend from iron sand while Kazekage kept attacking relentlessly.

Kazekage kept control of any iron sand which spread out to battleground and attacked Uncle Masashi and Mask's blind spots.

I could only say, as expected of Kage. It's strength very terrifying.

No wonder Sasori had to sneak attack to kill him. I am sure young Sasori wouldn't stand chance against Third Kazekage if it was a direct confrontation.

I was also shocked by the toughness of Golem and Mask's armor. Truly worthy of Iwa shinobi, they are tough as stone.

Then as fight as was becoming intense, they suddenly stopped and looked at a certain direction.

'What? why did they stop? Sudden screw loose?'

Just as we got confused, we heard loud terrifying roars. I felt like I hear this roar before. We all got scared and wanted to run away.

'System, do you know where this roar came from? Why is it so terrifying?'

System: "Host, this is the mighty roar of a five-tailed beast. Apparently, one-tailed Jinchuriki and five-tailed beast fought each other and lost control.

Now two jinchuriki are going rampaging killing both Suna and Iwa shinobi mindlessly."

'Oh fuċk, no wonder those 3 ceased fighting. Freaking 2 Jinchuriki lost control. This is my first battle here.

I almost let Shuji die, entered Kage-level shinobi battleground and now Jinchurikis are losing control!!!!! Today's luck is really worse than shit.'

"Today, an unexpected problem occurred, so I will spare you two. But next time will be your death" Kazekage spoke to Uncle Masashi and Shunshined away to control One-tailed jinchuriki.

"We should also go to stop Kan (Five-tailed jinchuriki)" Uncle Masashi spoke to Mask.

"Alright."

After Uncle Masashi and Masked vanished, a few seconds later I heard system.

System: " Host has successfully observed Kage-level battle until the end and completed 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.*

The reward is now in Host's Kunai pocket."

'Great. Now I can escape here. I don't want to stay on this battlefield any longer. Who knows we will get hit by random beast bomb shot by crazy Jinchurikis'

Just as I wanted to leave, System's voice came up to me again.

System: "Host has fully observed Kage-level battle, but it's not the highest level battle. Let's step up.

*Quest: witness the battle between the Kage-Jinchuriki battle until the end.

Reward: 10 million yen and a book that teaches about all kinds of Fuinjutsu.

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

As soon as the System said, I was quiet for a moment and then...

'SYSTEM, DO YOU THINK I AM AN IDIOT? I am not stupid to do every impossible quest just because the rewards are great.

Jinchuriki attacks mindlessly and there is like 90% chance me getting hit by crossfire.

I know my limit. At least current me is just weak to even spectate that kind battle.

I am sure I will die if I accept the quest and I don't fuċkɨnġ want to die.

What's the use of 10 million if I die. I will damn recline the quest.'

After rejecting the system, I quickly ordered a retreat to base camp.

But Shuji whɨnėd about staying and helping his father. I was already annoyed by System's impossible quest. Adding the whining voice of Shuji, I was pissed as hell.

I just knocked Shuji out and dragged him with others to basecamp.
