Journey To The True Martial World - Chapter 53

It had been a couple of weeks Since Naruto and Orochimaru had beaten Hagoromo, the gang had spent time exploring the avatar continent and enjoying themselves. Fu was resurrected with Rinne Rebirth and everyone seemed satisfied with how the days glided by. Now that everyone had pushed themselves to open all 20 meridians, 72000 nadis, and formed their dantians. Seiichi felt it was time to wreak havoc in the celestial realm until he and the rest meet the requirements for ascension.

Seiichi’s first stop was the Capital City of the Fire Nation. He had ventured there to obtain the little go getter that took the initiative to kill the avatar, Princess Azula. She was a royal mess when Seiichi stepped onto her balcony. Shouting for the guards, Seiichi had made them all kowtow in his presence. Azula was infuriated and confused. No mater what she said, her subordinates refused to listen, soon after, her trusted commanders and temple sages also fell to Seiichi’s visual prowess.

Not able to contain her anger, Azula attacked and Seiichi toyed with her in kind. “You have the world at your feet and you even killed the avatar. Why aren’t you satisfied, what more could you possibly want?” Seiichi interrogated her, while continuing to suppress her. Catching lightning and ripping through flames, she finally realized her attempts were futile and she had lost the fire nation before she had even become the Fire Lord.

Sobbing and wailing, Azula was going mad and set the surrounding buildings ablaze. “Why don’t you come with me, far away from this place, more power, glory, and what you need desperately, love. The unconditional kind.” Seiichi waited as she pulled herself together

“That honestly sounds amazing… But all I want is the fire nation, my brother dead, and my father out of my way” Azula muttered in mad haze, yet a lot calmer.

“Hmm” Seiichi nodded and released the castle servants. “Such a waste” Seiichi then vanished, leaving Azula behind. Somewhere deep inside of her, she knew that she was better off leaving with the stranger, but some things she had, she just couldn’t let go of.

Seiichi then returned to the Shinobi continent and invited Kaiya to leave with him. Though, Kirito had planned to marry Tenten, Saito was now the patriarch of the Uzu, what meant he was now the patriarch of the Shinobi continent. With the Uzu clan in control, as repayment for being used, Seiichi had made it so when he left, the Uzu and the Uzumaki had more power than any clan on the continent. The nations Daimyos had used the war as an excuse to form one nation of which, Saito was now leading. It was a simple world kotoamatsukami projected from the moon. And like that the Shinobi world had its first unification, and a serious strive for peace.

Because of this, Kaiya wanted to stay with her family to help carry the weight that Seiichi put on their shoulders. However, she promised to keep practicing the sword and cultivating to have enough power to maintain the peace Seiichi had given them. The next stop before leaving the mortal realm, was the moon, there Seiichi had met Toneri and learned of the transportation array that led to the planet in which the branch Otsutsuki clan that was under Kaguya’s care, resided on. At least was the last known location of the clan before she abandoned her position. The transportation array was created by Hamura in his last days just in case the two worlds had to broker peace due to Kaguya actions and the unsanctioned clans that descended from her. He had traveled to the planet to leave the array, but never made contact with the clan to avoid trouble.

Taking the Tenseigan that was being hoarded on the moon over the years, Seiichi upgraded the eyes of everyone who had the Sharingan. Sasuke, Ino, Yakumo, Pakura, and most recently Rock Lee, all had their eyes upgraded to the Zettaigan.

Karin, Akira, and Naruto’s eyes could do no such thing. The sage eyes were not the Sharingan, so it didn’t have the same effect. All it did was merge with the eyes, giving them the abilities of the Tenseigan, without changing the outward appearance of their Sage Eyes

Now standing in a large hall that acted as the armory for the late Otsutsuki clan, descended from Hamura. Seiichi had told every of his placement in the Naruto verse and his plan to ascend the higher verses to kill Escanor, to receive the revenge his family and friends couldn’t. He selected them to climb through the verses because of their immeasurable potential.

“But for now, our biggest threat is Marici and Otsutsuki clans. The are the only two clans that wield Dojutsus that could rival ours. Eventually, we will come to blows. But until then, our main concern is more power, it’s the only way to a higher verse and greater adventures”

“So, where are we going now?” Akira asked as she looked through the weapons that were once used by the Otsutsuki clan when they inhabited the moon in great numbers. Seiichi walked over and picked up a bow, then said, “Coupled with your Ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu, you should prove lethal. And we are going to Naonus. It’s the planet Kaguya once lived on before she went to earth. I have no Idea what to expect so it should be fun.”

“Well, it’s adventurous, and there will be tougher opponents” Rock Lee struck an intense fighting stance

“Yeah! If we can beat the masters, then we can officially be known as the greatest Shinobi in the world!” Naruto joined Rock Lee as his hype men. Sakura face palmed herself and Fu giggled as she watched the show.

“Haha something like that. Here.” Seiichi threw a par of Tonfas at Lee “You might need those, they can hold chakra better than your wooden ones”

“Thank you, Seiichi. I will not let them go to waste.” Lee replied, practicing his Tonfa technique.

“I’ll take the spear” Hinata shot over and grabbed the only one on the floor. ” Eight Facing Battle Body spear” it started with a simple thrust and quickly turned into a barrage of well-placed, quick strikes. They all seemed mundane, until Hinata finished and the floor beneath her shattered forming the eight trigrams formation.

Seiichi saw every move she performed and all though gentle, each move bore tyrannical might.

“Hmm! I’ll take the sword” Ino stepped forward and grabbed a double-edged sword.

“Wait not that…” before Toneri could finish every dojutsu in the room was locked on to him.

“Why not?” Ino asked, curious, but obviously unwilling to let the sword go

“It belonged to the wife of Hamura Otsutsuki. It’s the Eight-Sided Dragon Han Wu Sword” Toneri explained, Ino smiled satisfied with its status.

“Then it’s perfect” Ino replied and walked away with the sword. As everyone picked a weapon. Toneri prepared the transportation array.

“Seiichi what about your weapon?” Pakura asked

“I have one” Seiichi a summoned the Trident of the Arch Sage that he had found in the vault of the Sejikin Temple. It bore a rather holy appearance. It was all white with swirls of navy blue on it. The eight-inch blade at the bottom of the trident had a white base and a blue flame pattern that coated the tip. The three pronged trident head was designed in a similar fashion. It was a heavy weapon, and when held by Seiichi, his chakra flowed through it, like it was a true extension of his self. But the enigma came from the voice of the weapon, it wasn’t an actual voice, it was more of an aggressive suggestive feeling. It was like it radiated chaos and longed for battle and blood again.

Ready for departure the team, stepped on to the transportation array and Toneri activated it. The array began to shine a bright cyan green color. Tossing a blood red pill to Toneri, Seiichi gave him a few parting words, “eat the pill and go to earth, tell Saito I sent you. You don’t need to be alone anymore, go and rebuild your clan, leave a better legacy.”

The last thing Seiichi saw was a Toneri mouth the words ‘Thank you’. The world around him warped and in an instant, Seiichi and his squad were standing by a lake side surrounded by mountains and light from two suns beam down on them.

“This must be Naonus…”
