Chapter 14

[Three months later]

*CLINK!*

*CLANK!!*

*CLINK!!*

The sounds of swords clashing together vibrated into the surrounding as two swordsmen engage in a fierce battle.

It's been three months since Madara and Astrea started travelling together and currently, you could see both Madara and Astrea in a middle of a heated sword battle in a forest near the Hekylo village in the common realm of the clover kingdom.

Madara was wearing his usual clothing except for this time he didn't have a pouch around his waist and there was the sheath of a katana instead. While Astrea was wearing a black female combat uniform that Madara made with his [Creation of all things] technique.

Madara was the one with the upper hand in the battle as you could see from the sweat on Astrea's face and body but she was doing her best.

*CLANK!!*

Astrea attacked Madara with a slash to the guts which Madara blocked with his sword and pushed her back.

"We will end today's lesson here, you should get some rest."

Astrea was about to strike again but then she heard Madara's from behind her then the Madara in front of her disappeared in a puff of smoke. Astrea placed her sword back into its sheath before turning around to face the real Madara.

"Here, take this."

Madara tossed a bottle of water to her when she faced him and she caught it and drank it.

"You have improved a lot since the day I started training."

Madara said with a small smile on his lips but that smile turned to a smirk when a memory of three months ago flashed through his head.

The memory was when he left her to kill a pack of thunder wolves on her very first day of training. All Astrea could do when facing that situation was to run while calling for help from Madara but he didn't mind her later through the Whole ordeal, Astrea got the courage to fight back when she was about to experience death and managed to kill one of the thunder wolves before passing out and Madara killed the rest.

"It's all thanks to you that I was able to come out of my shell as a sheltered child."

Astrea also had the same memory flashes when Madara brought up the topic of her growth and her face turned red when she remembered it. She may have benefited a lot from that experience but the embarrassment was too great for her.

"Anyway, let us head back to the village before it gets dark."

Madara said to Astrea when he noticed that the sun was about to set. Astrea nodded her head and they both packed their things and headed back to the village.

It took Madara and Astrea a few minutes of walking to get to the village and they went straight to the inn of the village the moment they entered the village.

Madara opened the door to the inn and they were faced with a tall, young woman with green eyes and brown skin. She sports long, ruffled black hair.

"Oh! You two are back?"

The girl said when she saw Madara and Astrea standing in the doorway. This girl is actually Sol Marron and she is the daughter of the Inn owner.

"Good evening, Sol. How have you been?"

Astrea came forward and took a

sol's hand and greeted her enthusiastically. Although Madara and Astrea came to this village just yesterday, Astrea and Sol became best friends the moment they met for some reason.

"I'm fine, Astrea and good evening to you Madara."

Sol responded to the same tune as Astrea before greeting Madara.

"Same to you, Sol. I will be in my room so if you need anything you can come see me."

Madara nodded to Sol and said to Astrea before leaving the two girls to their own devices and headed for his room.

*TUMB!*

The moment Madara got to his room he dropped himself on the bed like a sack of potatoes.

"Sigh! Today was a good day. Hey system, how many system points do I have currently."

Madara asked the system after he sigh to himself about how many system points he has.

[DING: The host has exactly 101,000,000 system points.]

"That's enough to draw out another character template. I want to draw out a character template."

Madara said after the system displayed his system. The reason why Madara hasn't drawn out a character template since he mastered Madara's template was that to draw a template you need a hundred million system points and the characters extracted depends on your luck.

[DING: Template extraction begins in...3...2...1..]

[DING: Congratulations! Template extracted successfully, the host has been awarded with the character template of 'Shibai Otsutsuki']

"Who is that?"

Madara asked when he saw the name of the character he got from the extraction because he did know anyone called Shibai Otsutsuki from the Naruto series. The only Otsutsukis that he knew of were Kaguya, Hagoromo, Hamura and finally Toneri from the last naruto movies so where did Shibai come from?

[DING: Shibai Otsutsuki is one of the Otsutsuki clan members who has been able to ascend to godhood after eating many chakra fruits and evolved many times. He is known as the God of the Otsutsuki clan by the current generations.]

[DING: Does the host wish to fuse with the character template of Shibai Otsutsuki.]

The system gave Madara a quick explanation as to who Shibai Otsutsuki is and it left Madara in shock.

'Kaguya became that powerful just from eating one chakra fruit so how powerful is this guy who has eaten so many that he was able to ascend into the domain of the gods.'

Madara thought to himself as he couldn't imagine how strong this guy is. From his research about the Otsutsuki clan when he was still on earth, he found out that the Otsutsuki clan was an ancient clan of horned celestial beings that have spent thousands of years traversing the cosmos in order to carry out the Ōtsutsuki Will, a doctrine which dictates that clan members consume the life energy and genetic material of other worlds in order to continuously evolve, with the ultimate goal of attaining godhood.

So having the template of such Otsutsuki who has reached the realm of the gods was so shocking to Madara.

"Yes, I want to fuse with the template."

Madara quickly agreed to fuse with the template after thinking about all the powers he would get from this fusion. Although he was already powerful enough to swipe through this world like a breeze, there were some things that he didn't know about this world so it was better to be safe than sorry.

[DING: The host should prepare himself to endure a tremendous amount of pain because the fusion between this template is different from the last one.]

The system warned Madara of the pain he will be facing when the fusion begins. Madara nodded his head and placed seal tags around the room to conceal any sound from being heard from the outside and also locked the door so no one can interrupt him.

"I'm ready."

[DING: Template fusion begins in 3...2...1]

"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!"

Madara let out a ferocious roar of pain as he started feeling an unimaginable amount of pain the moment the fusion started.
