'I didn't expect this class system to work this way…' thought Bakorio to himself as he reread the notifications related to the class system that appeared after he reached level 100…

[Congratulations host on unlocking the class system]

[Calculating possible classes…]

[Calculations complete!]

[Host can choose from the following classes: Ninja, Monk, Samurai, Doctor, Scientist, Blacksmith…]

A long list of classes appeared in front of Bakorio, and he could choose any of them. Each class has its own benefits such as an additional fixed amount of attributes that would be immediately added to them for each future level up which are different from the usual 5 attribute points per level.

There were also unique skills related to the classes. For example, picking the doctor class grants an additional increase to the effectiveness of all healing-related skills. Blacksmith grants an increase in the success rate of a forging or upgrading process and so on…

'Picking a fighting class like ninja or samurai can increase my strength, but the other classes are also not bad… plus I'm not sure if these are all the benefits I might get'

After some contemplation, Bakorio decided to go with his gut instincts and chose the Ninja class since this world revolves around them…

[The ninja class has been obtained successfully, host has received the skill light footwork. Host has received the ability way of the ninja. For each level up above level 100, the host gets +1 points increase in strength, +2 in agility, + 1 in stamina, +2 in spirit]

Bakorio instantly felt a heat rush through his body as a notification appeared in front of him*

[Host current level is 108, you have gained +8 Str, 16 Agi, +8 Sta, +16 Spi]

"Not bad" muttered Bakorio with a smile before he checked the description of the skills he gained.

[Light footwork level 1: Gain +2% increase to movement speed]

[Way of the ninja: +10% increase to the effects of all types of Jutsu used by the host]

'I don't think these are the only benefits to be gained from classes, further benefits are probably unlocked through leveling up or some other conditions…' thought Bakorio and decided to spend more time leveling up In the future…

Meanwhile, as he was contemplating the benefits he gained from leveling up… In the Hokage's office, Kakashi's summon Pakkun was currently delivering a message sent by Kakashi after finding himself stuck inside the trial…

"you said you have a message from Kakashi? Why isn't he here to deliver it himself?" Asked Fugaku while staring at Pakkun stoically…

"He's busy training and can't stop for now, you will understand when you read the message" Replied Pakkun before he gave Fugaku a scroll…

'If the situation is as troublesome as this dog is describing, could he really not stop his training to deliver the message himself?' thought Fugaku finding the situation kind of weird as he picked up the scroll and started reading its content. However, the more he read, the more his expression darkened and he eventually slammed the table and stood up with an astonished look on his face…

"How could this be possible?"

"What's wrong, Lord Fifth" Asked Shikaku who was surprised by Fugaku's reaction…

Fugaku didn't say anything and only pondered slightly before he gave the scroll to Shikaku and allowed him to read it for himself…

"This…. Is this really true" Asked Shikaku with his hands trembling slightly and cold sweat falling from his forehead…

Pakkun nodded his small head reluctantly and said with a heavy look on his face "We lost many of our brethren, and if not for Bakorio-kun eventually defeating that wave, we would have probably been annihilated..."

"For such a huge danger to be kept at bay this long of a time, your tribe truly did this world a huge favor and sacrificed a lot…" Said Shikaku while letting out a sigh and Pakkun only nodded silently..;

"You said some of them were already at super Kage level yet Bakorio was able to beat them?" Asked Fugaku and Pakkun nodded before he described the fight to the two of them in further details shocking them even further before Fugaku immediately turned to Shikaku and said "Quick, send someone to summon Bakorio, I need to talk to him and hear his experience directly…"

Shikaku nodded at him and went to carry his order while Fugaku thought with a worried look 'Just what kind of entities this world is hiding… first dark chakra and now this…'

….

It didn't take long for Bakorio to get summoned to Fugaku's office, and he ended up going there reluctantly despite him wanting to have a rest from the craziness he just went through, especially the last attack from that woman that injured his soul…

After entering the Hokage's office, he noticed that Tsunade and Hiruzen were also present… as well as Minato…

'According to Kushina, Minato has been missing from home a lot lately… I wonder what he's doing' thought Bakorio as Fugaku immediately threw the scroll at him "Is the content of this scroll true?"

Bakorio took a seat and replied without even staring at it "Yes, and it's probably even worse than what's written in the scroll"

The mood in the room instantly got heavier after Bakorio uttered this and Hiruzen couldn't help but ask with a worried look on his face "Bakorio-kun, are these 'devils' truly as strong as described?"

The others waited patiently for a hopeful answer, but only despair awaited them as Bakorio truthfully replied "They are extremely strong, those at Jonin level can even resist a direct hit from the Rasengan and only got minor injuries… plus they are extremely tough, but they seem weak against lightning since Chidori worked against them, although barely… Their regeneration's also a problem and they die only when both their brains and hearts are destroyed…"

Silence covered the room for a while before Tsunade asked what was on everyone's minds… "How strong are the devils of a higher level?"

Bakorio recalled his fights with them as well as the stats he saw after repeatedly using his appraisal ability when he could and after some contemplation, he said " Beast and demi beast devils has 50% and 100% increase to their defense respectively from the devil transformation. As for the humanoid beasts which are at the low Kage level at least. They have a 150% increase. And the last ones who are almost completely human… I'm not sure… But it's not just 200% because they can also use a transformation called hell's fiend, which is similar to a sage mode but uses hell's energy instead and it makes them extremely strong"

Minato's eyes flickered slightly before he said "Bakorio-kun, How strong do you think their strongest fighter is?"

"Probably at mid or high super Kage level like Madara and Hashirama…" Said Hiruzen with a sigh but to his surprise and that of everyone else... Bakorio remained silent with a frown which brought a chill to their hearts…

"Impossible, you don't think that…" Tsunade was shocked at the thought of facing someone stronger than even her grandpa especially when she knew how terrorizing his power was…

"Their strongest fighter… I only caught a glimpse of her and yet she almost killed me with just one look… Her power probably already surpassed the super Kage realm although I'm not sure by how much…" said Bakorio with a sigh making everyone feel a little bit helpless…

"How are we supposed to deal with such a threat?" said Fugaku with a worried look, which was shared by everyone, but no one had a response to his question… However, they eventually ended up staring at Bakorio hoping this mysterious kid has an answer

"It's simple really, we just kill them" said Bakorio with an eerie grin as a terrifying aura of death gushed from him… Soon he will become a Sage of six paths, and he won't have any more equals in the world… or so he thought…
