[Ding! Master, you have a new mission. Do you want to take a look?]
Just as Shin was cursing the Konoha Shinobi who had provided the false intel, the System’s voice echoed in his mind.
“A mission?”
Shin was surprised. System missions were rare. In the eight years since the System awakened, it had issued less than five missions.
[There are two missions this time.]
“Two missions? What are they?” Shin was even more surprised.
[Mission 1: Destroy the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon. Reward: Divine Replication Card x1. Failure: No penalty. Time Limit: None.]
[Mission 2: Infiltrate the Iwa camp and destroy their supplies. Reward: Advanced Replication Card x1. Failure: No penalty. Time Limit: Three Days.]
One mission had no time limit and involved destroying the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon. Shin couldn’t do that yet. He didn’t know how to get to the moon.
He knew there was a portal, but he didn’t know its location.
But there was no time limit, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
The other mission had a three-day time limit. If he didn’t complete it within three days, it would be canceled.
“Let’s go.”
Shin said to Kushina and Mikoto.
“Go? Aren’t we completing the mission?” Kushina asked.
“We are, but we won’t find them here. The supplies have probably already been transported to the Iwa camp. So we’re going there.”
“Is that safe?” Mikoto asked worriedly.
“Mikoto, are you underestimating me? I infiltrated the Kumo camp and beat up the Third Raikage a few days ago. What’s so dangerous about this?”
“Yeah, let’s go!” Kushina was excited. She wasn’t afraid of danger; she found it thrilling.
“Fine.” Mikoto nodded, her eyes fixed on Kushina.
She wasn’t worried about Shin. She knew he was strong. But she was worried about Kushina.
Kushina was reckless. Mikoto had to keep an eye on her.
….
The Iwa camp wasn’t far. They soon arrived.
“Are we sneaking in?” Mikoto asked.
“Sneaking in? No. We’re going in through the front door.”
“Let them taste my new Jutsu. Fire Style: Great Flame Rasengan!”
A massive sphere of fire appeared in Shin’s hand. The flames were contained, forming a stable ball.
Shin held it up. It was about ten meters in diameter.
He then threw it towards the Iwa camp. The camp wasn’t made of tents, but of earthen structures created with Earth Release. Iwa was more resourceful than Konoha.
The Great Flame Rasengan crashed into one of the earthen houses and exploded, engulfing a hundred-meter radius in flames.
The earthen houses melted, and the ground turned into lava.
“Is that your new Jutsu? It seems even stronger than the Rasenshuriken!” Kushina’s eyes sparkled.
“It’s not necessarily stronger. They’re just different,” Shin said.
“Let’s go. We have to find their supplies and destroy them.”
Shin led the way, and Kushina and Mikoto followed.
“You’re going to destroy the entire Iwa camp, aren’t you?”
Kushina said, seeing the destruction caused by Shin’s attack.
“I’m a bit nervous.” Mikoto gripped her Kunai, looking at the approaching Iwa Shinobi.
Shin had just unleashed an S-rank Jutsu. The commotion had alerted the entire camp, including the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki.
“You’re Uzumaki Shin?”
Ōnoki glared at Shin, his beard bristling with anger.
“Alas, Looks like everyone knows me. I’m getting famous. How troublesome,” Shin said with a sigh.
Kushina and Mikoto rolled their eyes. He wasn’t troubled; he was enjoying it.
“You’re even shorter than I imagined.” Shin couldn’t resist a jab.
He had known Ōnoki was short, but seeing him in person, he was even shorter than Shin had expected.
Shin had hit a nerve. Ōnoki was sensitive about his height. Being so short, even as the Tsuchikage, he lacked a certain… presence.
He had earned the respect of Iwa, but it had taken time. When he first became Tsuchikage, he had been mocked for his height.
He hated people mentioning his height. And his red nose.
“Shin, his nose is so big and red! It’s so ugly!” Kushina said.
Ōnoki clenched his fists. He couldn’t take it anymore. First his height, now his nose?
“Uzumaki Shin, you dare attack our camp alone? Today, you will die here!”
Ōnoki charged at Shin, using the Earth Release: Rock Fist Jutsu.
He might be short, but he was fast.
Shin dodged the attack and kicked Ōnoki, sending him flying.
“Tsuchikage-sama!”
The Iwa Shinobi rushed to catch Ōnoki, but they were also sent flying, becoming a cushion for the Tsuchikage.
“Tsuchikage-sama, are you alright?”
The Iwa Shinobi surrounded Ōnoki, their faces filled with concern.
Ōnoki coughed up blood, then yelled, “Scatter!”
“Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!”
“Sage Art: Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!”
Two Rasenshuriken, one from Shin and one from Kushina, who had activated Sage Mode, flew towards the Iwa Shinobi.
Even though Ōnoki had warned them, some were still caught in the blast.
Their bodies were ripped apart by the countless tiny blades.
“That took a lot of Chakra,” Kushina said, panting.
Even she, with her large Chakra reserves, felt the strain.
But the greater the Chakra cost, the greater the power. The Rasenshuriken was a devastating attack.
Kushina had used it in Sage Mode, further increasing its power. But even so, it was still weaker than Shin’s Rasenshuriken.
Kushina had the enhancement of Sage Chakra, but Shin had used several times more Chakra than her.
