Arc I - Chapter 29 : Shisui has fallen....

Independent realm, Paradise.

Near the entrance of settlement, Itachi & Shisui could be seen walk with stealthy step trying to erase their step noise as much as possible.

Suddenly before they can proceed to climb the wall of settlement, there's flash transparent light in front of them then someone appeared before them.

'One' appeared at outside of settlement, because he knew Zero will come he didn't try to pretend as Zero in front of them except just stood in front of them to prevent the two from advancing.

"Huh? Xazch? What're you doing here?" Shisui exclaimed with wonder tone.

"....." Itachi staring with confused expression.

---------

'Crap, that duo! Why the f*ck they're here? Hey system, why didn't you expel them first before detach this land?' Xazch questioning System while running for a while, but suddenly stopped after hearing system answer.

-Because Host didn't set-up for the place to expel anything-

"..." Xazch staring in daze with speechless expression, then he suddenly slap his own forehead because he forgets that he can directly teleport to their location.

With closing his eyes, he's activating his teleport skill instantly and the hidden lab filled with silence after he's gone.

-------

"Hey, why didn't you ..." Shisui feeling angry after being ignored then when he's going to press another question his word choked within his own throat because another flash appear with one more Xazch appear in front of them.

"....." Itachi staring with confusion because the two has different aura but the newcomer's aura is more chaotic.

".... Yo!" Xazch scratching his head while smiling with innocence face then greeting them without feeling strange.

".... Yo? The f*ck with this? There's two of you here? Is it shadow clone? But why it feels different?" Shisui continuing his own confusion while staring the two Xazch in front of him.

"..... So Xazch, who's that? Is it your shadow clone? Or you're the one who's shadow clone? Please explain it to us together with this place" Itachi didn't feel any hostility, so he's proceeding to ask Xazch explanation about everything here.

"Ahh, The two of us is real! The silent one is 'One', he's exactly my ex-clone because he's not anymore" Xazch answering while laughing.

"Huh? Your clone but not anymore? What do you mean?" Shisui felt confused after hearing Xazch answer.

"Ah, it's hard to explain! The point is he's person and so far he's the one who's sometime together with you two, but let it be for now! So this place is my private territory, you two didn't need to force yourself if you want to enter! We can enter together right now! Let's go!" Xazch explaining with vague detail about 'One' existence because he didn't want to explain more in detail in case he told them about system accidentally, then he's changing subject to his territory.

"Hmm? How did you make this forest your territory? Did you ask Hokage permission already?" Shisui exclaimed with wonder tone after he's recovered from his daze.

"Ah, there's no need for me to ask his permission! Since earlier this land has been detached and made into independent realm, so we're right now wasn't near Konoha anymore though basically you two were taken here accidentally" Xazch answering their question truthfully.

"....huh?" Shisui exclaim with bewildered face while Itachi just silent.

"Ah, don't mind it too much! Just follow me, you will know what's exactly this place!" Xazch ask them to follow him while he's signaling 'One' to go first.

With flash 'One' gone from there, the two was going to ask about it, but they shut their mouth and following Xazch to the settlements.

---------

The two in awe after seeing the interior of the settlements, then they see every people there full passion with training or other activity like blacksmiths.

Even though they were curious, they still follow Xazch to walk round the place, and the two always see everyone here stopped their activity just to bow saluting to Xazch while calling him Xazch-Sama.

The two feel it was weird seeing many people respected their friend and wondering what's secret he hides from other.

-------

Konoha, Hokage's Building.

"..... end of our team report, Hokage!" Kneeling Anbu end his speech with respect tone.

"Hmm, so after unknown earthquake the forest become somewhat strange? Because now it's silent and there's no lifeforms within it?" Third Hokage confirming the Anbu report while confused with the results.

"Yes Third Hokage!" The kneeling Anbu confirmed the Third Hokage's question.

"Alright, stay there for 2 or 3 days for now to monitor the situation further! If there's no change then just let it be, at least it's good if there's no beast around anymore for civilian but get forest security checked once every 2 day! Dismissed!" Third Hokage exhaled the smoke from his mouth while waving his hand to dismiss the Anbu.

"Yes Third Hokage" The kneeling Anbu answering with respect tone then his body faded like shadow in an instant.

Then after Anbu gone the Third Hokage frowning while seeing the village from window.

-------

Independent Realm, Paradise.

"So that's what happened earlier, please don't worry about the forest because my power have repaired it already with same one though I can't copy the beast and every lifeforms within forest, at least the plant will be copied with same exact function"

"...." Shisui & Itachi speechless after hearing Xazch explanation about earlier event.

"Then what more? Ah, this place right? This place ......." Xazch continuing his blabbering without minding their expression.

"...." Shisui & Itachi getting more dumbfounded after hearing what's this place from Xazch.

Suddenly at the entrance of tower inheritance there's a girl who's appeared with Holy aura, the warm feeling spreading into surrounding of this place, then every people within closing their eyes to enjoy the feeling while their fatigue and hidden injuries healed.

"....." Itachi turning his body around with startled expression, though he has little flash in his eyes after feeling his fatigue and hidden injuries getting healed.

"..... Be-Beautiful!!" Shisui exclaimed with bright eyes while his face flushed staring to the girl who's appeared near the tower, he isn't even aware of his body has been refreshed by aura because he thought it's because he saw her that he feel refreshed.

Xazch felt surprised & happy with the girl result, but he's dumbfounded after seeing Shisui's expression.

'Don't tell me, he is ...? hahaha' Xazch thought with laughing inwardly.
