Chapter 39 - One year timeskip

After observing Kage-level battle, we ran to the basecamp as fast as we could. As we were retreating, we could hear the sounds of Jinchuriki screaming and feel terrifying chakra,

Jinchurikis hasn't transformed into the beast fully, but I could feel that they are on the verge of it.

When we arrived basecamp, we were suddenly stopped by guards of basecamp. They asked for the password, but since we joined the battlefield right after we arrived, we obviously didn't know the password.

We tried to wake Shuji up, but it seems like I knocked him out pretty hard. No matter how we shook him, he didn't wake up.

Guards started to run out patience as they kept on battle stance. In the end, Gari abruptly kicked Shuji's pėnɨs to wake him up.

'Wow, What a brutal bastard you have become!!! Gari.'

Shuji waked up screaming due to intense pain in his little area. I kinda felt bad for Shuji.

After rounds of more screaming, Shuji answered the password and verified us to enter basecamp.

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

Some times later, we saw Uncle Masashi, tattered clothes came up to us to pick up Shuji.

It seems like it took a toll on Uncle Masashi to calm down 5 tailed jinchuriki.

"Hey, kids. Glad you guys are okay. How is Shuji, did he do good?" Uncle Masashi asked us.

"haha... Yes Uncle. Shuji did wonderful today. He is just tired of all that fighting and sleeping now." I replied to him with a smile.

I can't tell him that Shuji almost got killed by three Jounins, knocked out by his friend, and got his pėnɨs busted by another friend of his.

In fact, after we entered to basecamp, Shuji still cried for pain. So we knocked him out again to shut him and not to bother other people. That's why he still hasn't waked up.

"Well, I am sure you guys are also tired of babysitting him during battle. I am grateful that you protect him." Uncle Masashi kindly patted our heads.

His words kinda made us guilty.

"So Uncle, what happen this afternoon?" Gari asked for detail.

"Well, our 5-tailed beast Jinchuriki clashed with Suna Jinchuriki. But those two idiots both lost control at the same time and were on the verge of releasing tailed-beasts.

All Iwa shinobi ȧssisted to subdue died. Luckily, Me and Mask somehow managed to subdue our Jinchuriki, but he died by Kazekage's sudden sneak attack. So we lost our Jinchuriki and 5-tailed beast." Uncle Masashi told us while sighing.

'Oh shit, all Iwa shinobi ȧssisted died?! I am so glad that I decline the System's quest!!!'

"Wait, then what happened to Suna Jinchuriki?" Ken asked this time.

"Well, Kazekage accidentally killed him during his own fight. That's why he came to kill our Jinchuriki as well. He didn't want to be one to lose Jinchuriki." Uncle Masashi told us.

"Then what will happen in the future?"

"I am sure, Suna will be quiet sometimes. They lost their only one Jinchuriki. That's a huge loss for them. But we also lost ours. I am sure that short man Onoki will be very pissed. *Sigh*" Uncle Masashi predicted.

I didn't expect the battle to ends with the loss of both Jinchuriki. I guess after this, Han will be the next 5-tailed beast Jinchuriki.

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

(1 year passed. Boom!)

It's been one year since we arrived at the Iwa defense division. We are all grown up and stronger. Shuji is no longer a battle-excited kid anymore. He is super good at water style and make good combos with our lighting style.

Gari's explosion became more deadly as even without touching, he could kill someone with his explosion power. I once asked him to if he can walk on the air using his explosion release, just like One piece's 'Geppo' or air walk.

Surprisingly he could do it and soon later even Kan and Gin started to do it. This increased their speed and their battle power.

As for me, I finally have a perfect understanding of Wing Chun buŧŧerfly sword arts. I could even go toe to toe with Uncle Masashi in taijutsu now.

I realized my raw strength is greatly weak compared to the average Adult even though I trained madly.

That's why I learned Earth style: Earth fist jutsu.

This jutsu allows user encasing their arm in rock, the user can deal with a powerful hardened punch against an opponent while being protected from direct contact with their target. If necessary, the weight of the rock can be increased to further increase the punch's destructive power.

With this jutsu, I can easily overcome the raw strength difference between me and ȧduŀts. I also learned several other earth jutsu to increase the diversity of my explosion release.

I mastered lighting manipulation, but couldn't master Raikiri (Lighting blade) even now. Sasuke learned Chidori in one month while here I am stuck with Raikiri for one year and still mastered. I once more deeply recognized Sharingan as an Op cheat.

After losing their Jinchuriki, I thought Kazekage would back down for a while. But my prediction approved to be off and Kazekage started to attack us more relentlessly until last week.

Sakumo's Konoha force finally drove out Chiyo's force. Chiyo's force suffered a crushing defeat as she even lost her son and daughter-in-law.

There was no way, Danzo would just stand, do nothing while letting Sakumo get all glory. He used the momentum and invaded Suna back.

With this, Suna is currently being pincered attacked by two Great ninja villages, while their Kazekage is not present to defend Sunagakure.

They also lost their Jinchuriki too. It was inevitable that Suna will lose the war even if they drag the war.

Being smartass, Kazekage decided to pull out from the war. Even if they drag the war, they still have to worry about small villages attacking them to steal the position of Great Ninja Village.

This meant, Iwa defense division is spending peace life currently without worrying about life & death battles.

I knew soon, we would be sent to battle with Konoha. So my squad and I are enjoying the rare peace as much as we can.

Kazekage quickly retreated to Sunagakure and sent representatives to sign a peace treaty and return their land to Iwa and Konoha.

'Although Iwa and Konoha still haven't responded to Suna, knowing Third Hokage Hiruze, I am sure he will agree it with small compensations.

For our Kage, Onoki... I am 100% sure that prideful, and stingy short man would ask for ridiculous compensations while not even giving Suna land back. And this is why I prefer, Onoki. He knows how to extort others well, hehehe.'

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

(in Onoki's office)

"Hell no, we are giving their land to Suna!! Our Invasion force ventured their lives to take that land. I am definitely not giving the land back, we took from Suna!!!" (Onoki)

"What? Suna is just giving us only 100 million yen for compensation?? Fuck that, I want 1 billion yen for compensation, damn it." (Onoki)

"I also want 10 tons of Iron sand with 3 tons of Medical herbs and poison herbs. And Suna shinobi will never step into Iwa's territory for 10 years." (Onoki)

"Also, I want every our Iwa shinobi imprisoned in Suna to be released. If they don't give us, they can forget about the peace treaty." (Onoki)

(A/N: No wonder, Suna became the poorest village besides, Kiri.)

"Now, I want everyone to focus on Konoha. Iwa invasion force will reinforce Roshi's force to engage Konoha.

Iwa defense force will spread out to Suna border and defend in case Suna suddenly invade again." (Onoki)
