The 'Epic'

Gamabunta, who was surprised after seeing the past flashback of Excalibur in Shosuke's hands, was silent for a moment before saying.

"That sword does not belong this world."

The sentence shocked the 3 Sannin who heard it. Before the three Sannin asked Gamabunta, Gamabunta shared what he saw with the Senjutsu technique to the three Sannin

*authors note: I don't know if this technique exists, but this fanfic has been messed up from the start. We can assume this technique exists (I know I'm an irresponsible author, but hey, enjoy it)

"See for yourself."

What the three Sannin saw was more shocking than Gamabunta's previous sentence.

They saw a scene where a girl who initially drew a sword stuck in a stone, then chosen to be King because the sword could only be drawn by a worthy king, a true mark of an excellent king.

They saw the day when that girl had to choose to continue her life as venerable King as her father wanted or reject it to live as an ordinary farm girl because the sword itself was a manifestation of an ideal king. The wielder's obligations would bear were not minor.

That day when the girl accepted her duty, she lost many things simultaneously: her freedom, desires, emotions, and even her identity as a woman.

From that day, the girl assumed the duties of a king while her identity as a woman was hidden behind thick silver armor, accompanied by ten knights who swore allegiance to her

*authors note: actually the background should be more complex, but since my passive skill is 'Sloth' active, I won't write it in detail so much

For years the girl used her sword to protect her kingdom and ruled with an iron fist to bring the prospered kingdom

Of course, her reign has the dark side of its own, the people who are not satisfied with the cold and cruelty of their King decide to rebel, led by the adopted daughter of the King, who is one of the ten sworn knights

Civil war destroyed the kingdom that the King had worked so hard.

At the end of the war, the King was killed by her adopted daughter. Even so, the King was not angry or sad. She only thanked his daughter, who freed her before dying, leaving regret for choosing to carry the burden of the King.

The princess who hates the kingdom herKingg built decides to destroy it and cast the King's sword onto the lake.

That scene ended the 'Epic' that the three Sannin and Gamabunta saw.

After everyone returned to the real world, Tsunade had ended up with tears in the corners of her eyes, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya were silent, thinking about what they saw.

It was the 3rd day that Sannin learned about how heavy a responsibility can be.

Gamabunta, who pointed out the 'Epic'Kingg Arthur, said nothing but plans to report this to the two old frogs on Mount Myoboku and Ogama Sannin.

Shosuke already noticed that Gamabunta showed the 'epic' of the King to the Sannin, so he tried to confirm

"You saw it?"

Tsunade, who was wiping her tears, immediately rushed at Shosuke with a question.

"Was that just now Shosuke? Is what we see real? What are you keeping secret with your Onee-Chan?"

Jiraiya tried to cool things down.

"Everyone has secrets, and this boy's secret may be bigger than we thought, but we have no right to force him to tell his secret."

Orochimaru and Gamabunta nodded in agreement, while Tsunade no longer forced Shosuke.

Even though Shosuke was a bit panicked and had prepared some lies for the three Sannin and Gamabunta, he decided not to lie to them. After all, the three of them weren't bad people.

Even Orochimaru can't be considered evil because his defection in the original series is only because of his research which is not supported by the village.

"At least tell Onee-san, that the sword won't harm you?" Tsunade said worriedly, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya just nodded in agreement with Tsunade

Seeing their concern, Shosuka decided to tell some things while hiding others.

"This sword is called Excalibur which was once wielded by King Arthur, but don't worry, this sword is only a copy of the original, even though the 'epic' you saw is real, and Gamabunta-sama is right, that this sword does not belong to this world, that's all. all I can say for now"

Hearing Shosuke's brief explanation, the three Sannin could only nod because Shosuke had already told them some of his secrets, which indicated he believed in them. Therefore the three Sannin did not ask for more.

"Okay, the three of us will keep it a secret for you," Orochimaru said clearly.

Gamabunta, who was watching from the side, smoked his cigar for a while before saying.

"I will report this to Ogama Sennin, I hope you are not angry with me little brat."

Shosuke shook his head, and he knows the topic about the outer world is sensitive like the Otsusuki clan to Sage beast. "It's okay, I'm sure Gamabunta-san has no bad intentions even though it's our first time meeting."

Gamabunta nodded before turning to Jiraiya and saying

"I will go back to Mt. Myoboku Jiraiya, and I must remind you, Fukasaku-sama and Shima-sama are waiting for you at Mt Myoboku for special training."

Poff

After that, Gamabunta disappeared with a burst of smoke, Jiraiya who heard two names from Gamabunta, immediately lost his mood for the rest of the day.

After Gamabunta left, the atmosphere became awkward. Tsunade, who was still a little sad, Jiraiya, who thought about his training with the two old frogs, and Orochimaru, who had a bunch of speculations inside his head.

That's why the three Sannin decided to end today's training session and go home to rest.

…

Even though the sunset brought a quiet night at the Hokage Building, Sandaime was still busy with the rest of the paperwork for the day.

This mess is how the Hokage works every day, and the Endless Documents make Sandaime's old bones increasingly brittle.

At this time, Orochimaru came to Sandaime to report the results of today's training to Sandaime, but what Orochimaru said surprised him.

Before Orochimaru continued his report, Sandaime ordered the Anbu on guard to leave him alone with Orochimaru.

"You can continue, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru nodded before continuing his report, explaining what he saw, and ended with the explanation Shosuke gave to him.

After a time, some explanation later.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't divulge Shosuke's secret to anyone?" asked the amused Sandaime.

"You care about that brat sensei, you already consider that little brat to be your grandson Sandaime-sama, so I don't mind telling you that."

Sandaime sighed, "I think it's time for this old bone to sit down and retire at home, I'm getting old while my stupid son is still not married, don't even think about giving me a grandson."

Orochimaru just silently gave Sandaime time to digest the information he provided.

"So, what is your speculation Orochimaru?, among my three students you are the most intelligent, I'm sure you are thinking about something," said the Sandaime after thinking for a moment

Orochimaru was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't think Shosuke is from this world, Master."

"His background and history are clear, Shosuke Uzumaki was born into the Uzumaki clan," Sandaime argued. "Even I am skeptical of the existence of other worlds, although this kind of study is not my forte, I know some sort of things."

"What if the soul is not from this world" replied Orochimaru

"This topic about Soul and other worlds is too complicated for me. Moreover, souls? The last person to do soul study was Nidaime-Sama and the legacy of the Uzumaki Clan. To be honest Konoha's knowledge of soul studies is incomplete."

Orochimaru just shook his head. "I guess thinking this is just a useless thing to do sensei, I feel some things about Shosuke will be revealed in due time."

Sandaime nodded in agreement. "Then continue with the task I gave you, and keep tonight's conversation as a secret for the both of us."

"Yes sensei," said Orochimaru before leaving the Hokage building

Sandaime, who was sitting at his desk with some documents, was lost in his thoughts as the night wore on
