Adventure Of The Arsenal Magus

Chapter 8 - From Different World (8)

Everybody just looked at Karl as he stood there with his new hairstyle and eye-like orbs floating around him. He then raised both of his hand in air.

"Sorry. I might hit some of the buildings but It's all I can think for now" Karl said as he look at Tsunade. He then closed his eyes.

[×] Exort + Exort +Exort [×]

All of eye like orbs that surrounding Karl had now become red.

[×] INVOKE!! [×]

[×] Harlek's Incantation of Incineration [×]

Just after he said that, the sky then started turning red and the temperature raised. It's like sun decended from the sky.

"W-What's happening?" Kakashi asked.

"I don't really kn-"

*BOOOOOOOMMM*

Jiraiya was about to say something when a red destructive beam/lazer has struck the ground taking anything it hits out of existence. Everyone is alarmed by the attack. Everyone is wondering what kind of jutsu that Karl used that could literally destroy everything it hits. Even the strong meteor was turned into atoms after the powerful beam hit it. After the attack reigns fo a while, it finally started to get smaller and weaker then finally disappeared leaving a huge hole on the ground and remnant of buildings that the attack partially hit. The sky also slowly turned back to normal. But even with the ferocious attack, The ramen stand still standing. He obviously didn't hit the Ramen stand. That's a natural treasure in this world. But even though his satisfies with the attack, Tsunade and other Konoha shinobi opened their mouths wide as they saw the damage of the attack Karl did.

"W-What the hell is that?!?" Tsunade asked in surprised.

" I don't know. But it sure can destroy everything it hits" Jiraiya calmly said. He then looked at Karl who is looking in the hole on the ground. "That guy is dangerous. We might need to approach them differently if we don't want the village turned into a giant hole" Jiraiya said to Tsunade. She didn't answer and just stood there watching the hole. Not just Tsunade. Everyone is looking at the hole that Karl made with surprised expression. Their sightseeing was disturb though when they heard Karl's footsteps and started walking toward Jiraiya. Jiraiya looked at Karl readying his self for a fight. Karl just continued walking toward him and stopped when his infront of him. The tension in the air grow heavier.

'I might need to use sage mo-"

" I'M REALLY SORRY!! " Karl just yelled with his hand clapped together.

"YOU TOO MORTRED!! SAY YOU'RE SORRY!!" Karl said as he looked toward the assassin.

" I-I'm sorry too" She said and hung her head.

Everyone just looked at the two not knowing what expression to show.

"Promise we'll pay for the damages we made!!" Karl said to Jiraiya.

Tsunade couldn't help but to sigh. "Can please tell me everything in detail on what happened here"

"Yes Hokage-sama." Kakashi said as he bowed. He then started explaining everything that happened just now making Tsunade feel headache.

"So that's all?" Tsunade said.

"Yes Hokage-sama"

"I'm really sorry for the stupidity of my acquaintance here. I'll make sure to scold her later" Karl said to Tsunade.

Tsunade sighed again. "What are you guys even doing in the village? And how you get in without being noticed by the guards?"

"Well..... When we came in, the guards are sleeping. So we just came in not wanting to disturb their sleep" Karl said to them looking innocent as possible.

'Those bastards. I'll scold those lazy asses later' Tsunade thought.

"And? What are you doing in the village?"

"We are looking for a place to sleep. We're tired sleeping with our backs laying in a tree so we want to sleep in a bed atleast once in a while" Karl said.

Tsunade just look at the two thinking what to do about with them.

"Thanks for helping us destroy that meteor" Tsunade said to Karl.

"No no it's our fault in the first place. I'm just cleaning something we started" Karl said.

'He seems to be a good guy' Tsunade thought.

"I mean I can totally understand what you feel. If someone said something like that to me I would never follow them" Tsunade said referring to Kakashi's threat. Karl just stood there with his hand on his head while Mortred still hunging her head.

Tsunade kept looking at them for a while. "Say... you need place right?" Tsunade said.

"Yes. Maybe for a couple days only" Karl said.

"I can give you a place to stay in for a couple of days... but in exchange, you need to answer some of my question" Tsunade said.

Karl then looked at Mortred for confimation but the girl just looked away shyly. Karl saw this just sighed.

"Look... I'm sorry if I yelled at you okay?" Karl said to her. She just stood there still looking away for a while and decided to finally face Karl.

"I'm sorry too for going too far too" Mortred said. Everybody just looked at them like a cute couple who could actually destroy their village.

"So you're fine with the offer?" Karl asked. Mortred just nodded as a confirmation.

Karl saw this and then faced Tsunade. "We'll take the offer"

Tsunade nodded at them. She then looked back at the hole in the village.

"Well as for now though... We need to do something about this. We can't just leave a giant hole in the village. It might cost trouble" She said looking at the hole.

"Anbu. I'll leave this matter to you. I'll be handling this matter in regards with our visitors" She said as she glanced at the two.

" I'll come too" Jiraiya said her.

"Me too!!" Naruto yelled.

"You sure you don't want to meet your friends first? It's been 2 years you know" Jiraiya asked Naruto.

Naruto was making a decision on what to choose.... Meet his friends or follow the mysterious people. He just stood there with thinking pose until Jiraiya talked again.

"It's fine Naruto... I'll fill you up with details later. Just go meet your friends"

Naruto kept standing there until he made a decision.

" Alright I'll meet them!! I already miss them so much!!" Naruto said full of energy.

Jiraiya smiled. " I'm sure that they miss you too"

Naruto just smiled at him and started running in a direction.

" Bye Pervy-sage!! Bye Granny!! Bye Kakashi-sensei !! Bye everyone!! See you later" Naruto yelled as he continued running.

Everybody just looked at the energetic kid as he jumped roof to roof. Even Karl is amused by the kid. Remind him of certain someone.

"So let's go now?" Tsunade asked the couple.

"Yeah" Karl answered as he took a glance to Mortred who's still acting weird. He just sighed inwardly as he rethink what a day has it been.

=========================

At the Hokage office...

Tsunade us Sitting in a chair behind a table with bunch of papers on top if it while talking to a guy with a usual shinobi clothing and holding a folder.

"The civilians had evacuated safely and nobody got hurt Hokage-Sama.... although we lost 3 houses... The total damage is not really that big.. the anbu had already finished fixing the hole while the carpenters are already startred fixing the houses" The guy said as he looked away from the folder and look to Tsunade. She just nodded after hearing the report.

"Thanks for your hard work Shikaku." Tsunade said.

Shikaku didn't answer and instead started to wonder. "Just who is it that destroyed this houses and making a hole in the ground? I was in your office fixing stuffs when I saw a giant beam from the sky and strucked the ground. When I came there myself I just saw a hole in the ground and broken houses."

Tsunade just looked at him very seriously.

"We might have a situation here Shikaku"

Shikaku who saw her expression also became serious. "I'm all ears out"

"We might have in our hands something... How do I say it ... Otherworldly" Tsunade said.

Shikaku is confused. "What do you mean?

"See it yourself"

Tsunade then looked at the door. "Anbu let them in now". As Tsunade said this, the door then opened and 3 people came in.

"Here is your guest Hokage-sama" A guy with a mask said.

" Where is Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked.

"He said he's going to do some 'research' and left"

'That bastard.. Why you had to leave in this kind of situation' Tsunade thought.

She nodded and then tell the anbu to leave leaving two people with somewhat unusual clothes. Shikaku also thought the same. He never seen such clothes before. He just wondered who this couple might be.

'Sure their clothes are unusual... What else makes them otherworldly?' He thought.

"Sorry Karl and Mortred. I made you wait" Tsunade apologized.

"No no it's fine... I know being a leader is so much work... We should be saying sorry for disturbing you in your work" Karl said.

'He seems to be a nice guy' Shikaku thought as he observed Karl.

"By the way. This is Shikaku Nara. Head of the Nara Clan and Also commander of our village shinobi's" Tsunade introduced.

Shikaku smiled. "Good Morning"

"Good Morning too. My name is Karl this is Mortred. Thanks for having us on such busy times" Karl said.

'No unusual body gestures. No unusual facial expression. This guy seem genuine.' Shikaku started analyzing Karl. He then looked at Mortred.

'Eyes.... Facial expression.... Body gestures....' He analyzed her too. 'Feeling regret' Shikaku thought.

"Have a sit" Tsunade offered.

"Thanks" Karl said and sat down. Mortred also did the same. Still being quiet though. Karl started to worry.

"So anyways I'll start asking questions" Tsunade said.

"Where you came from?"

Karl thought of some answers considering it's really a hard question.

'Hmm this is hard. I don't know any village here and I don't know if villages are suppose to be known by everyone. Maybe I should say a direction and say it's a very small unkown village?' Karl thought. He then decided

"We came from a very small village somewhere in the south." Karl said to her.

'South?.... Then we should've known it considering almost every land south is ours. Except if they live in an island somewhere south' Tsunade thought. He then looked at Shikaku which just nodded at her.

"Can you describe your Village settings?" Shikaku asked.

"It is a small village surrounded by trees but enough vegetation to feed the people in it" Karl said.

'Hmm somethings wrong here' Shikaku thought.

" How did you get here?" Shikaku asked again.

"We walked from our village to north until we saw the village." Karl just said not giving any more false information that might backfired. His really playing safe right now.

Shikaku was still not convinced with Karl's answer. He felt something is really happening and he just can't pinpoint it.

"Then it might be a really strong village then considering how powerful the jutsu you had used just now" Tsunade said.

'They're pressuring me hard' Karl thought.

"Not really. There's only few people who can use Jutsu in our village" Karl said.

'His lying.. Hardcore' Shikaku confirmed.

" Then last question. What is chakra?" Shikaku asked.

'Chakra?' Karl thought. He was confused what to say. He thought that maybe this thing is something all people here know. He became silent for a whole minute making Shikaku felt satisfied for hitting the mark.

"No clue?" He asked.

Karl is just silent.

"Of course you wouldn't. Considering you don't have any in your body" Shikaku said.

" We don't really know this chakra thing. Our village is a very small one and most of them are unknowledgeable about this stuffs" Karl tried.

Shikaku looked at him with serious look now. "Chakra had a really long story but to put it simply. Everyone born in this world had chakra. That's fundamentals of jutsu" Shikaku summarize.

"And you don't have chakra and can release some powers without one meaning.... You're not from this world. You two are from other world" Shikaku conclude.

Karl just sighed. "Man I give up. Lying is never been my thing" Karl just said. "I already expected this to happen considering how small my knowledge in this world is." Karl said and stood up.

" Wait!!" Tsunade yelled. " We don't want to fight. We just wanted to talk" Tsunade said.

Karl was about to walk away when he heard Tsunade.

" Talk about what?" Karl asked.

"About your reasons why you two are here." Tsuande answered.

Karl just looked at her for a while.

"What do you think our reasons why we're here?" Karl asked again.

" First... I thought world domination. But you seem to be very nice for that." Tsunade said.

"Who knows? maybe I'm just acting to deceive people" Karl said.

Shikaku talk this time. "I had a friend. He's the head of Analysis team in the village's intelligence division. He's really good at looking through body gestures and knowing what other people thought. Being friends with him made me learn how to read gestures too." He said.

"When I was looking at you with you're lies earlier. You seem nervous. Your voice is a bit low and your eyes is acting different. But during the whole time your guard is up. Not for attacking but for defending. I saw it all up" Shikaku said.

Karl just looked at him and then to Tsunade.

"That's really unfair you know?"

"Sorry for setting you up" Tsunade said.

"So.." Karl sat down again. "What do you wanna know?"

"Everything that is fine for you to share" Tsunade said.

Karl stayed silent for while. After some seconds, he then began talking.

"We came from different world that actually don't have a name. We just called it, DoTa" Karl said.

Shikaku and Tsunade had all of their ears out listening to Karl's story.

"So let me reintroduce ourselves." Karl said as he clear his throat.

"Throughout the eons I have been known by many names... but my true name of power is Karl" He said as he became really m.a.t.u.r.e and out of character. Both Tsunade and Shikaku just stared at him intensely. He then laughed awkwardly after seeing them like that.

"Heheh... And this is Mortred, The Phantom Assassin" Karl said to them and look at Mortred.

She just nodded shyly.

"And for the reason why we're here is... Adventure" Karl said to them proudly.

Both Shikaku and Tsunade actually didn't expect this answer.

"Adventure?" Shikaku asked.

"Yep!! And also New knowledge" Karl answer.

"Knowledge is one of the reason that keeps me alive. Dying without knowing something is just too unbearable for me. So I seek for them knowledges and do whatever it takes to learn new ones." He said.

"I am actually over 5000 years old. I don't know my exact age since I lost counting and gave up on it"

"But anyways, considering how old I am. I have every knowledge that my world can offer to me stored in my mind. But it's not enough. I want more. I'm a greedy mage I won't deny it. But it is what motivates me to continue living in this eternal life of mine." Karl said.

" Wait this is too much information to comprehend." Tsunade make him slow down a bit.

" Hahah sorry sorry" Karl said as he laughed.

Shikaku on the other hand keep thinking.

"So you're an immortal?" He asked.

"In the matter of lifespan.... yes but I am still killable considering I am still a human. I only casted "Eternal Youth" to myself so I can live a long life and gather as much knowledge as I can" He said.

" Is it fine for you to say reveal all of this?" Shikaku asked.

"It's not really a secret. I am wanted person in my world because of the same reason so nothing is new" Karl said.

"So let me clarify first. You're not here to invade this world right?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes I'm not here for that. I just need new knowledge and adventures" He said.

"But how about her though?" Shikaku pointed at Mortred. " Why she's with you?"

Karl then looked at her. He felt like she's been really quiet for a long time now so he made her explain her reason.

"Can you explain your reason?" Karl asked.

She then raised her head "Y-Yes" She said and look at Tsunade and Shikaku and told her reason to them. After hearing her reason, both of them are surprised.

'What kind of weird relationship is that?' Shikaku thought.

"Well anyways if that is really your reason why you're here then I can help you with it" Tsunade said.

'It's better if they are in the village. I can keep an eye of them if they do something unusual.' She thought.

"So that's all I want to know for now. As for the place you're staying, a guy will escort you there." She said .

"Thank you so much for the help" Karl said.

" No problem. Just don't make problems for me okay? "

"Got it"

" Now if you can excuse yourself guys still have some stuffs to do" Tsunade said as she took bunch o papers under the table.

"We will take our leave now. Thank you again" Karl said and started walking outside while Mortred followed him. Karl then felt a hand in his shoulder. It was Shikaku who called him. He then lean closer and whisper.

"Talk to her later" Shikaku said. Karl nodded to Shikaku and then they left the office and a guy then escorted them to their place.

Tsunade just stared the two while they leave through the door.

"Is it fine? To let them stay in the village? I mean we can observed them and all but they are powerful enough to summon that flaming boulder. Is it really wise to help them?" Shikaku asked.

"I don't really know. But something is telling me that's the best decision right now" Tsunade answered.

Shikaku just looked at Tsunade for a while.

" I hope your intuition is right" A voice from the window said.

Tsunade smiled.

" Yes. I hope it does" Tsunade answered.

"I thought you had research Jiraiya?" Tsunade sarcastically asked.

Jiraiya sighed.

"The public bat- I mean research area that I was suppose to conduct my research is close for renovation." He said.

'He never planned on going?' Tsunade thought as a tick mark growed in her forehead.

" But I'm lucky It's close though." He continued.

Tsunade just stared at the table.

"I had heard something really interesting that catches my full attention."

" Yes it is indeed interesting. I never heard of other worlds before. Kinda surprising for me" It is Shikaku who said this.

Tsunade nodded.

"But we should keep this to us. Only three of us can only know this information. They are trustful enough to say all of that. Let's not break their trust or we might become that hole that he made earlier" She said.

"Got it" Both Shikaku and Tsunade said.

'The only thing I am worried about is Danzo. I know he'll confront me in regards with this matter earlier. What should I tell him?' She thought.

'I might think of possible answer for his possible questions. For now, I need to explain what happened to the village just now."

"Shikaku. Summon the council immediately. I need to explain to everyone on what just happened right now" Tsunade told Shikaku.

"Got it Hokage-Sama" Shikaku said and left the room.

"Explaining that would be hard though" It is Jiraiya who talked this time.

" I know. And honestly I don't know what to say" Tsunade explain.

(By the way Jiraiya never went inside the the room. His still in the roof near the window leaning and listening to them.)

"Hmmm... Maybe you should just say all the things he said to you"

" Huh? Why? "

" Why not? It would solve everything really quickly. You no longer had to think of a reason for the council. Besides, how can you really explain something if they asked some questions about him? You know how much of a bad liar he is and how bad his made-up backstory is. We're just wasting time" He said.

Tsunade stayed silent for a while.

"How about Danzo? I'm sure he'll do something to them. You know how much of a crazy guy he is. If he see something that is a threat to the village, he'd do everything to get rid of them." Tsunade asked.

" That's what I want to see. I wanna know how those two handle Danzo and how both of them react." Jiraiya said.

" Danzo is smart. He knows when he can win or not and if you say everything you know, he'll sure will stay on guard about them." He continued.

Tsunade started thinking for a while but she just couldn't thought of a good way to explain Karl and Mortred existence without revealing what Karl had said to them.

'So much for 'We should keep this information to the three of us' She thought.

"Alright I'll do it. I hope this idea will work" Tsunade said.

"Just trust me in this one. Something is telling me that this will work somehow" Jiraiya said.

Tsunade just smiled.

" I hope your intuition is right" Tsunade said.

"Yes I hope it does"
