Adventure Of The Arsenal Magus

Chapter 9 - First step their relationship? 9

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

Infront of a house.

"This is the house that the Hokage lend you to stay" A mask man said to the couple. Karl and Mortred just looked at the huge house in surprised expression.

"That's a huge house" Karl said.

"Yes. This is the residence of the Hokage herself but she rarely stay here. She mostly spend her night at her office and mostly sleep there all the time. So this place is free" The anbu said.

"If you have no questions now then I will take my leave"

Karl nodded at the guy.

" Thanks for escorting us..." Karl said.

"No worries. Hokage's orders. Just doing my job" The guy said and then disappeared leaving leaves in where he was standing.

"Well that's that. We should rest for now. It has been a crazy today and I am exhausted as hell" Karl said as he stretched his hand and started walking toward the house. Mortred followed him and they both went inside the house.

Meanwhile.....

In a dark room with a big oval table filled with chairs. Some seats are already occupied by some people and some had just arrived.

"What's with the sudden summon? I just came back from a mission" A guy with a thick eyebrow said.

"It's about something that happened this morning" A guy in his back said.

"Ohh Kakashi. Good evening " He greeted.

"What do you mean something that happened earlier this morning??" The thick browed guy asked.

"Ohh you're out in a mission right? Don't worry. The hokage will explain everything" Kakashi said.

"hmm alright. Let's seat then." As they were about to seat, they heard someone again in their back.

"Good evening Kakashi, Guy" It was Asuma and Kurenai.

"Good evening to you two!!" The energetic shinobe yelled.

"Why does almost every shinobi is being called? Even Iruka is here" Guy thought.

Kakashi, Asuma and Kurenai just stared at each other knowing the reason why.

"Well nevermind. I'll just wait for Hokage to explain. Let's seat for now" Guy said as 4 of them started walking back to their chair.

=≠=≠=≠=≠=≠=≠=≠=≠=≠=≠=≠=

After a couple more minutes. Every chair has now been occupied by people. Everyone was quiet while they wait for someone. Although some people whispers to one, the silence still there.

After couple more minutes.....

A girl then started walking toward an entry chair infront of the table. Everybody then stood from their chair out of respect.

"Good evening everyone" The new comer said.

"Good evening also Hokagre-sama" All of them stood up and greeted.

"You can seat down now" Tsunade said as she also sat down with everyone. Silence then came again.

" Sorry for summoning everyone in such short notice but I had to talk about something really important to everyone" She said. Nobody tried talking and let Tsunade continued.

"For those who are not here earlier in this morning. You have probably missed a really unusual event that almost destroyed the village"

"WHAT?!?! " Guy yelled in surprised.

"Yes. Believe it or not two outsider that had successfully came inside the village without permit because of some idiots fell asleep in their post" Tsunade said as she gazed at Izumo and Kotetsu. Both of them felt a killing intent as Tsunade gazed at them made them fell chills to their spines.

"Well anyways.... One of them is powerful enough to call a blue flamed boulder from the sky toward the village that is powerful enough to withstand over 30 anbu's wind style and water ninjutsu and able to destroy chakra enhanced earthstyle jutsu. Even with Jiraiya's help... The stone is indestructible" Tsunade said.

Everyone who's not aware of what happened earlier gasped on what they've heard.

"Where is this guy now? We should eliminate him before he became a threat." One from the civilian council said.

"Is that really your concern? You're not asking for the damage that the meteor inflicted?" Jiraiya who jumped from somewhere asked to the civilian council.

"I mean the village seems fine. Nothings really new so I assumed you stopped it somehow in the end" He answered.

"Have you heard what the Hokage said? Able to withstand 30 anbu and a sannin. Do you think she'll even say that If we stopped it?" Jiraiya asked again.

This made everyone think and shutting up the civilian.

"And by the way it's a she. It's a girl who summoned the blue flamed stone" Jiraiya said confusing everyone.

"So it hit the village? But I didn't see any major damages though." The civilian asked again.

"It didn't."

Everyone seems confused right now.

"Then what happened to the blue flamed stone?"

"It got destroyed out of existence.....by her companion"

"Huh?" Some of them reacted.

"You see this girl is powerful. Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma had fought the girl but they can't defeat her nor overpower her. And in fact, it's the opposite. The girl is overpowering them." Tsunade said.

"Yes. We able to fight her in taijutsu and ninjutsu but we can't seem defeat her. She seemed very strong and very talented in the weapon she is using" Kakashi said in the meeting. Both Asuma and Kurenai also agreed.

"She able to make clones like shadow clones without handsign and turn invisible or blink around. She also can summon weapons and also the blue flamed boulder from the sky" Kakashi continued.

Nobody talked during the time Kakashi talked and most of them are just surprised in the skill she seemed to have.

"Then that's really a big problem then... Let's find this girl and catch her for information" The civilian again said.

"You're right but that's not the problem at all." Tsunade's words made most of them confused.

"Then what is the problem?"

"It's her companion that is our problem" Tsunade said. She then looked at Jiraiya. He just nodded at him and started talking.

"When her clone was about to cut of Kurenai's head, me and Naruto had just arrived at the scene. Naruto knock the clone with rasengan. With five of us, we able to overpower her. We we're winning when...." Jiraiya stopped for a bit.

"When?" The civilian asked.

"We're winning against her. I was about to hit her with a rasengan when his companion came... with somekind of a ice jutsu and shielded the girl." Jiraiya explained..

" What?!? His companion had kekkei Genkai?" A guy from the shinobi chairs asked.

"We cannot confirm yet but he can make ice.. A very strong one"

Silence then came again.

" Then what happened?" the same shinobi broke the silence.

"He then did something to her companion making her strong and make her fight 5 of us again. She was stronger than before but I manage to catch her with my hair jutsu and pierce hit her with it. When she found out that he can't get out from my jutsu.... That's where he summon the blue flamed boulder toward me"

"Then we tried stopping it but it seemed indestructible." Jiraiya explained.

"But that's where his companion came in" He then continued.

"Those who are here in the village that time. Did you notice the time when it got suddenly hotter and the sky turned red and a sudden something came out? That's that man doings" Tsunade said. Everybody is had all their attention to the story being told to them.

"So that means this girl's companion is stronger than her?" It is a guy in white pure white eyes talked this time.

"Yes Hiashi. " Tsunade agreed.

"So the purpose of this meeting is to talk about them. You see after the the blue flamed boulder got destroyed, her companion apologized couple times. Not just him but also the girl." Tsunade said.

"What? Who the hell apologize after almost destroying a village?" Another civilian from the council said.

"Yes I was thinking the same thing first but he said that they are actually not here for that. They just felt threatened by Kakashi and so they fought back. All they wanted is to find an Inn so they can take a rest after a long journey" Tsunade explained

"How would you know this Hokage-sama" Hiashi asked

"Well.. I invited them to my office." She bluntly said which surprised almost everyone including Hiashi.

"Why would you let an outsider that is consider a threat to the village in your office Hokage-sama?" It was Guy who said it.

"They actually seem to be good people. The guy which is name Karl is a really awkward person and Mortred is like a teenager" Tsunade said to them.

"B-But still!! You just can't trust people that easily." Guy answered

"Well whats done is done… Anyways I'm glad I invited them. I finally had a chance to question them. And then I found out something really unbelievable."

Everyone just stared at Tsunade waiting for her to talk.

"Me and Shikaku was asking them questions on where they came from and some other things but we found out that they are lying. If you ask how we know they are lying, well most of their answers doesn't fit our geographical map. After more questions, we cornered them and they confessed. He said… They came from different a world and personally… I think they really do came from a different world. They both got no chakra and doesn't seem to have great knowledge about our nation." Tsunade said which surprised everyone in the room.

"They had no chakra? That's why I felt something is off" Kakashi said.

"So that's why they doesn't need handsigns " Asuma also said.

Tsunade nodded. "I know there is so much thing I needed to feel up to you guys but let me get to the point. They don't have bad intentions in our world. All they want is adventure and knowledge that's all. Me and Shikaku personally trusted them and also they are trustful enough to reveal their secret. I want to have good relationship with them considering they can be a threat if we make them feel threatened" Tsunade said.

With that, everyone became silent and think whether to support Tsunade or not because even though she's the Hokage, she still needed the approval of the council and clans of the village. Just shortly after they all became silent, someone then speak up.

"I personally disagree" An old man with bandaged covering his hand and his right eye said.

'Danzo…. As expected' Tsunade thought.

"You're trusting them too much Tsunade. They might just acting so they will caught you off guard and then attack when it happened." Danzo said.

"Danzo. Why do they need to that at all when they can just attack us head on? Even if we say that we defeated them, we can't stop the blue flamed stone if they would summon a new one towards the village." Tsunade said. This also made most of them think.

"Then assassination. We had so much talented shinobis capable of that. Where are they now? We send some of our best shinobi to caught them off guard" Danzo said.

"Assassination huh? Well not a bad plan but I suggest you not to do it" A unfamiliar voice then echoed the room which made everyone raise their guard.

"Who is that?!" Tsunade asked.

A guy wearing a Green straw hat and green robes with a scepter in his hand then appeared in the middle of the table.

"Hello everyone." The guy smiled.

Just in seconds, Guy, Asuma and Kakashi just instantly surrounded the guy with their Kunais.

"Answer Hokage-sama. Who are you?" Kakashi said.

"Ohhh quite scary" The guy said almost sarcastically.

The three shinobi then point the kunai more closer to the guy. Kakashi in the left neck, Asuma in back and Guy in the right.

"Okok fine jeez. People in this world are so scary" The guy said like he doesn't even care about his safety.

'People in this world?' Tsunade thought

"My name is Rubick. Many call me The Son of Aghanim or The Spell Stealer. But most of the time, I am known as The Grand Magus." Rubick introduced as he took of his straw hat and bowed like a gentleman.

"Why are you here? This is a secret meeting exclusive for the members of the village only. And I nevet saw you before so you're not from here" Guy then said.

" Yes yes I am an outsider. I came from a world that has no name but we call it Dota" He said.

" Then you'll be punished for infiltrating" Asuma said as three of them tried stabbing him with their kunai's in hand..... Keyword 'tried' since they can't move at all. None of them can move except Tsunade who calmly asked.

"Dota? You came from where Karl is?" Tsunade asked.

" Yes. I am a very close friend of his." He said as he smiled.

This made Tsunade less tense.

"Why are you here?" Tsunade asked.

"I'm here you warn you guys. Don't ever upset Karl or you will really see why his called the Arsenal Magus" Rubick said.

"Huh? But I thought his called the Invoker?" Jiraiya who's beside Tsunade asked.

"Ohh right.. He changed his name. My apologies. But he is once called the Arsenal Magus because of how much spells he can cast. He had Arsenals after arsenal of spells or in this world is 'jutsu' I might say." Rubick explained.

Everyone is actually confused now and doesn't know what two of then are talking about. Only Tsunade, Jiraiya and Shikaku knows. They also felt weird and threatened considering they can't move at all. They could die anytime right now.

"You expect us to believe you little boy?" Danzo also calmly said.

Rubick then gazed at him. His gaze was so deep like his looking directly in his soul.

"You don't need to believe me. All you need to know is that what I am saying is facts since me myself had felt his wraith. He's probably gonna be mad at me for intervening his adventure but I just need to help the world his adventuring in. I don't want it getting destroyed" Rubick said looking at everyone. All of then just stared back at him without any more words.

Rubick sighed. "Just a warning guys. Karl is a really good guy. He can be a good friend or the worse enemy. Your choice. Anyways it's not like you can kill him in the first place. Even all of you here combined, you can never beat Karl or even Mortred." Rubick said as he raised his scepter and a portal opened

" Well that's what I want to say. What happened next is your decision. Just remember that I warned you. DON'T UPSET KARL! Your destiny is in your own hands now. Farewell" Rubick said and went in the portal. The portal close leaving surprised people behind.

"What the heck was that?!?!"Asuma asked as he can now move.

"He made all of us immobilized" Kakashi just said.

Everyone now seems very quiet.

"So what is your decision everyone? Even a friend of his is strong enough to immobilized everyone. Maybe he had the same power too. Besides he's a living proof that they are good. If he want he could've killed all of us there but he didn't. I'm sure he had some 'spells' that could kill all of us. But he didn't and instead warned us. We don't want to upset the wrong people. If they are good then put them on our sides. That's what we need to survive as a village." Tsunade said to them.

"How about the assassination plan Hokage?" Danzo asked.

" It's pointless. He had Mortred with him. She is called The Phantom Assassin of the Veil sisters. She seemed to be known throughout their world. She is what you called a true assassin so she probably know how to counter us. We can't assassinate a assassin especially if they are renowned." Tsunade said.

"Well anyways. I know I really can't force all of you so asked questions. I'll try answering them" Tsunade said to everyone. And with that, their meeting continued.

In Karl and Mortred residence.

Today had been pretty crazy. The fight which looks like lasted for a minute actually consumed almost half of the day. They didn't even had a chance that finish their ramen at Ichiraku and quite hungry but luckily the guy who escorted them treated them lunch (hokage orders). They didn't really had a chance to explore Konoha and their identity now is known. What a day has it been.

Karl was putting his stuffs in the living room while Mortred silently sat in on of the couch. As he was putting his stuffs away, he remembered what Shikaku told him.

'Talk to her later'

That what Shikaku said. He then silently glanced at Mortred.

Karl then sighed.

"Look I am sorry about earlier... I didn't mean to scold you that much" Karl said to her.

Mortred was surprised when Karl suddenly apologize.

"No you don't have to apologize. It's my fault to begin with and I caught you with it" Mortred said as she again looked down the floor.

"I am supposed to be an assassin. A member of Veil Sisters. Yet I keep making mistake all the time. I keep on causing trouble." She said. "Lanaya was right. I'm just a spoiled person. I don't deserve this name." Mortred started talking bad to herself.

Karl just stared at her in silence for a while.

"You shouldn't think something like that. We are just humans. We make mistakes all the time. Mistakes that help us grow as a person. You don't need to mourne about your past mistake but instead try your hardest to not make the same mistake again." Karl said as he stared at Mortred who's now had her head raises up and staring back at him. He then continued.

"It's fine to make mistake. Growing and learning from out mistakes what makes us human. So that's why it's fine to make mistakes." Karl said as he walked closer to her and Pat her head.

Mortred felt warmth in her heart. She's blushing really hard now as Karl continued comforting her with a pat. She just sat there letting Karl pat her head for more than a minute.

After a while.

"Thanks" Mortred said. "I feel a lot better now" Mortred said as her usual smile is back. This made Karl feel very happy and he himself is confused why. Just seeing her smile like that also made his heart feel the warmth inside.

'I think.... I miss that smile' Karl just stared at her smile.

"Now I'll be continuing to organized my stuffs in the beroom. You can do what you want" Karl said to her as he took the things he bought from Tenten's weapon shop the other day upstairs.

"Wanna check our bedroom?" Karl asked her.

" Yes" Mortred said.... and then yelled.

" OUR BEDROOM?!?! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING??!?"

Karl then sighed. "This house only had one bed in it. So we're sharing it" He said.

" B-B-BUT I-I AM NOT READY Y-YET!!" She yelled again.

Karl just sighed again. 'Well atleast she's back to her usual self'

" Well if you're not okay with it then I'll sleep here in this chair(sofa). This looks comfy place to rest." Karl said.

Mortred is red as a tomato right now. Her mind is rambled and her heart is thumping hard.

"W-Well I'm fine with it. Y-You don't have sleep in this small chair." She said in a low and embarrased voice.

"You sure?" Karl asked. Mortred just nodded.

'She seems nervous' Karl thought.

"Nahh.. I wanna try to sleep in this chair. I want to experience it. You can have the bed."

"B-But..."

" I'm fine with it don't worry." Karl said as he smiled.

"Let's go and sleep now. We have to buy some necessary stuffs tommorow like clothes and food. It's gonna be another long day" Karl said. Mortred just nodded and went upstairs. She then looked at Karl.

"Goodnight Karl"

"Goodnight to you too" Karl said as he laid on the sofa. He was about to close his eyes when Mortred called him again from the stairs.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Thank you"

Mortred said as she rushed back to her room upstairs. Karl just stared at the stairs where Mortred was standing for a while.

'Your welcome' he said as he closed his eyes and slowly fall asleep, dreaming of the things he could do in this world.
