章 52: Reporting to Onoki
I gotta admit that birds are fast, especially giant eagles. It didn't even take 2 days for us to arrive in front of Iwagakure's gate. Talk about the speed!!
Along the way, we didn't meet any obstructions as we were very high up over the sky. Even if Konoha or Ame shinobi found us, what could they possibly do except lookup like a bunch of idiots? Heheheh.
Nagato and his little friends became very close to my squad while I was gone to complete the quest. Luckily, they still haven't found out a Hizashi's body. My squad has done a pretty good job on that.
Hiazhashi was knocked out by Gari instantly in an unconscious state every time he showed signs of waking up. Now, I am a bit astounded that Deidara managed to knock out Gaara for several days entirely.
Everyone was excited to see Iwagakure. My squad was all looked happy that they survived while Nagato and his little friends were excited to see their new home. Gari looked a bit guilty though, I was sure it was because of Tonja's sacrifice.
While everyone is cheering on Boss's back, I sat quietly at the tail and contemplated how to explain all the impossible odds we went through to Onoki. I needed to make some excuses to hide System's existence.
"Boss, just land here. We will walk to Iwagakure from now." I spoke to Boss Eagle.
He listened to me and landed near Iwagakure.
"Well, kid. I will be going now. I am sure other Eagles will be happy when they hear we got a very smart summoner, haha. If you have any trouble, then don't hesitate to summon us. Bye!" Boss Eagle spoke.
I farewelled Boss Eagle with a smile. I don't know if Boss Eagle is dumb or smart but not educated. However, throughout the flight, he obediently listened to my request every time without complaining. He is fast, looks tough, and listen to me good. So for me, he is better than Toad or Snake summons.

(Tsuchikage office)
Onoki had a lot of things going on his head that he got a headache every day.
Firstly, the casual mission he gave to Genji and his squad to test his son's ability, turned out to be an S-rank mission. Onoki got a report that Konoha suffered heavy casualties by Genji's squad.
Secondly, the spy whose Genji and his squad suppose to protect has been found dead near the Iwa-Konoha border. The cause of death was a suicide bomb. But there was no news of Genji's group's whereabouts at all. This made Onoki worried about Kitsuchi's safety.
Thirdly, he got the report of Hiruzen is dead, presumed killed by Mito accidentally. Onoki didn't believe this shit, not even a single second. But it is interesting why Mito attacked Hiruzen.
Fourthly, Amegakure is showing signs of invading Konoha and soon expected to send someone to form an alliance with Iwagakure.
Finally, the 5-tailed beast has resurrected and Onoki has to worry about sealing operation.
Just as Onoki was thinking about these 5 main queries, a ROCK member appeared in front of Onoki.
"Tsuchikage-sama! Genji and his squad have arrived in front of Iwagakure's front gate just now, along with three little unknown kids and unconscious Hyuga."
The news of Genji's squad returned, made Onoki quickly turn his head to ROCK member, and ask him questions.
"They finally appeared! But do you know how did they come here? How come I didn't know they were in Iwa's land until they appeared now?"
"Apparently, Genji attained the Eagle summon by fortune during his mission and used it to fly all the way to here."
"Eagle Summon? Are they real Genji's squad, not fake ones?"
"They are real, sir. We have thoroughly checked their identity. They are currently coming here to report. Also, Kitsuchi-sama is safe and sound." ROCK member answered Onoki diligently.
"Alright, bring them to my office quickly!" Onoki ordered.
---------------
My squad and me, who was carrying wrapped around Hyuga entered to Onoki's office.
We greeted Onoki who sat on the chair, looking imposing.
"Greetings, Tsuchikage-sama. My squad and I have returned to Iwagakure."
"Brats, you brats finally arrived. I thought you won't make it.
But I am very happy and proud that you guys managed to shake off Konoha's chase and arrived here safely. Very good, very good! Hahaha."
"Please don't praise us, Tsuchikage-sama. We couldn't even fulfill our mission. We are not worthy of your praising. By the way, does Tsuchikage-sama knows about Tonja's situation?" Gari asked Onoki.
"It turned out to be an S-rank mission. So I will forgive mission abandonment. Just making alive here deserve praise.
Unfortunately, we found Tonja's corpse near the Iwa-Konoha border route where you guys are supposed to take. It seems he suicide bombed himself.
Don't feel guilt too much, I am the main fault for this. I should have better assessed the mission before giving you guys. So tell me everything happened now." Onoki ordered.
"It all happened after we saw Tonja bla bla bla bla bla bla..."
We talked about all the things that happened to us to Onoki. Onoki mostly looked impressed by us how we killed Dan and Nawaki (accidentally), taking Hyuga and bringing Sharingan and Byakugan.
It took almost 2 hours to finish reporting to Onoki.
"Alright, I am very impressed by the resources you brought. Genji, you did very well to manage your squad. Everyone also done well, It is pretty late now. I am sure you all are very tired, so go back home and rest well. You can write the report tomorrow." Onoki ordered us to dismiss.
"But Genji, you stay." Just as we were leaving, Onoki called out to me. I knew he would ask me to stay alone definitely.
After everyone left, Onoki didn't beat around the bush and questioned me directly.
"Genji, I still have some inquiries for you. So tell me honestly. I know full well about Dan's ghost ability. It is a very terrifying jutsu and countless Iwa shinobi have been killed by him.
But how do you have a four-violet flame barrier jutsu scroll and it can nullify Dan's ghost jutsu?"
I knew Onoki will straight up ask about this. But I was ready for him to question.
"I copied a four-violet flame barrier jutsu scroll accidentally during Uzushiogakure-invasion.
I didn't know the four-violet flame barrier can nullify Dan's ghost jutsu. It was Tonja who told me that can nullify Dan's ghost transformation."
Tonja is dead, and dead can't talk. It was best to push the blame to Tonja.
Although Onoki looked a bit suspicious, he seems to accept my reasoning.
"Alright, then can you tell me how did you get the eagle summons?"
"I was going down the random village to buy rations for the squad. Then I heard from villagers that the village chief has hired few shinobi to safeguard his family legacy, the Eagle Summon scroll.
Since I needed transportation desperately, I stole the summon scroll from them and tried my luck.
It is very difficult to be an Eagle summoner Eagles will ask several difficult questions and if we can't answer them even one, then they will nullify our contract. No shinobi has ever completed their test.
However with 100% pure luck, I managed to complete their test and became their first summoner."
I didn't tell Onoki that I went to see Hanzo and Sannin battle. No matter how senseless Onoki can be, he won't believe a jackshit about me escaping from Hanzo, the Kage-level shinobi. I mean, even I will not believe it if I were him.
"It seems you encountered huge luck during this journey. But don't forget that you are Iwa shinobi, raised by Iwagakure. I hope you contribute to your home village by submitting the Eagle summon scroll." Onoki spoke, no ordered me.
'This greedy little shrimp old man. He definitely asked questions to get my eagle summoning scroll.
Well, it doesn't matter anyway, because I am very sure no sane Shinobi cant answer Eagle's nonsense test unless they have a special system.'
I gave Onoki, the Eagle summoning scroll obediently.
"This is the last question, Genji. Tell me why did you decide to bring those three Ame orphans. You better answer this properly! You know full well that I hate and untrust outsiders the most!" Onoki talked to me with an intimidating voice.
"I heard from Kitsuchi that all of Uzumaki kids in Iwagakure all disappeared. Since one of the orphans is rare Uzumaki, therefore I decided to bring him with us.
I saw a powerful explosion corps potential from the girl orphan. As a member of the explosion corps, It is my responsibility to recruit talents for explosion corps.
She was able to manipulate the papers, which can turn into massive powerful explosion tags if she trained well in the explosion corps division.
The last kid, he has great leadership and his ability to make enemies to his allies. He is the smartest out of all three orphans and the most skilled. He has affinities of water, fire, and wind. I say he is simply a genius.
With this all reasoning, I decided to bring them to Iwagakure to consolidate Iwa's future power." I spoke my true reason to Onoki for this one.
Onoki seems to think for a few seconds and told me.
"If they are really what you mentioned, then I will consider them. But I will monitor them for 3 months. If they do some strange things, then I will expel them immediately and you will also be called for interrogation." Onoki threatened me, just to scare me.
"Yes, sir."
I wasn't too worried as Nagato and his friends don't have any intention to harm Iwagakure.
"Enough of questioning. Genji, you did really well during this mission. You brought Sharingan, Byakugan, and even alive Hyuga. These are really valuable resources for Iwagakure.
That's why I am planning to promote you and your squad one rank up. So tell your squad to come to my office tomorrow afternoon to receive their promotion rank and rewards.
That's it, dismiss."
I said farewell to Onoki and left his office while breathing out with ease.
-----------------------
(A/N: I don't know how the hell Konan can control papers. Is it Kekkei Tota or some kind of forbidden jutsu or secret bloodline?
Also, some of you guys want mc to battle with Hanzo, but that's not gonna happen during the second ninja war. Genji still lacks a shit ton of powerful jutsu to become Kage-level shinobi. There is no way he can beat Hanzo now, maybe during the third ninja war.)
