19 Aftermath!

"How is Hitomi?" asked 18 years old man with standard Hokage attire, raised his head to the window where Kakashi appeared.

He was reading a book called 'Icha Icha Paradise'. Closed the book and looked new Hokage with smiling eyes, his face was mostly covered under black mask. "He is still unconscious. His face covered with scars all over. His fingernails were in his hand when the scars healed. He was shaking when we took him to hospital." said Kakashi.

"All those scars are self-inflicted?" asked Itachi with a deep sigh.

"When they took Sasuna and Naruto, he flipped and hit his head tree he was leaning. He couldn't move so he was angry with himself. His nails pierced his hand and healed while it was still inside. They had to cut open his hand to remove fingernails. Naruto's stab wound was close call. Missed heart with few centimeters. Poison in his body was very strong, but his will was strong so he held on until hospital. Jiraiya-sama had the antidote, so he is cured now. He will wake up in a few days." narrate Kakashi slowly.

"You heard it. Go and brief Karasumaru-san about it." said Itachi looking little Crow sleeping lazily in the corner of the room. Crow shrieked ugly few times and disappeared.

"You are working with Sharingan?" asked Kakashi smiling again.

"There is too much paperwork. Sharingan helps me to finish them more quickly. I have to get ready for an alliance meeting. It will be held in Samurai Country." said Itachi with another sigh.

"Are you going to take Shisui?" asked Kakashi with flash in his eyes.

"No. I don't want them to get suspicious for nothing. You and Fourth Hokage Minato-sama will be with me." said Itachi. "After all, I'm still inexperienced."

...

"You really did it this time. Even the adapt system can't calm you down. I hope this hatred don't eat you up." said Crow in a low voice.

Hey, Ugly Voice. Can't a man sleep in peace after a hard fight?

"You pervert bastard. You are finally awake. I was just saying you are still a kid, getting worked up for nothing. I wasn't worried at all." said Crow quickly.

Yes, yes. What the hell happened after. I don't remember anything after the mysterious figure took away Orochijosei, Danzou, and Sasuna.

"And Naruto," said Crow.

Whatever.

"Third Hokage died. His funeral held. Itachi became the new Hokage. 5 Hidden Village established World Alliance. All nations will support Alliance until Akatsuki hunted..." said Crow and summarize things happened last week.

"Orime never left your side. She just went to the bathroom. Itachi, Sakuman, Jiraiya, Fourth Hokage and all your friends came to visit you. Karasumaru refused to leave the village until you wake up. But he was huge and frighting others so Itachi convinced him to tell him as soon as let him know when you wake up."

A warm surge went through my heart. My tears fell down.

"You don't have to blame yourself." came a voice from the window. The white long haired old man was sitting with a brush and a blank notebook.

"Jiraya-san. I.."

"We were all there. We couldn't prevent it. How could a stinky kid like you prevent it?" asked Jiraiya with a smile.

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me. We have still time. In 2 to 4 years Orochijosei will takeover Sasuna's body. You have to get stronger. It's unfair to ask 13 years old kid to get stronger. But life is not fair." said Jiraiya with a serious voice.

"I will take this pink boy for training. Normally his constitution is more suitable for medical practice, but..." he couldn't finish his words.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I wish I had the chance to meet Tsunade-sama." I said. I heard from Crow how Tsunade was brave and selfless. She was reckless and irresponsible sometimes but when push comes to shove she would throw her life away.

"You probably would die in first second you little pervert." said Jiraiya and Crow at the same time. If I didn't know they can't communicate, I would think they rehearse it.

Jiraiya left and Orime walked in. When she saw me awake she jumped and hugged me with tears. I don't know why did I deserve such a pure love, but I will not refuse it. She scolds me after making sure I'm all right. I told her I will leave again, soon. She looked sad but resolute and said she is supporting me.

I already made up my mind. I will go to other worlds to get stronger. I discussed it with Crow many times.

Are you sure, I can return to this world two years after?

"For the thousandth time, YES! You can return to this world." said Crow.

Which world are we going this time?

"It's the One Piece. A world with pirates and navy. I got some information about the world, so we are ready to jump any second."

Not yet. I have to say my goodbyes. By the way, can I learn anything in 2 years in One Piece World?

"You don't have to worry. The time is not a straight line. Two years in this worlds is, as long as 8 to 10 years in One Piece world."

There is such a thing? Anyway, I have to say my goodbyes.

I went everybody I know to say them I will be training in far away. Itachi, Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya, Orime and others in the village wanted to give me secret scrolls for hidden Jutsu they developed in years. I store them in the warehouse then left for Holy Land.

After I explained everything there too, I went to the forest I was first found. As Crow said this place was closest to World Engine. So better jumping efficiency.

You can start.

"Okay, it will take a few minutes."

You won't take me 12 Sai world, right?

"Hey, it was emergency okay?"

Okay, just do it.

As gears running in my head, my mind went blank. There was just darkness. After feels like a lifetime I started to fall. I looked around and noticed, I'm falling a desert. Desert with no end. There was not a single plant, not a drop of water in my sight.

Um, Crow Brother you said One Piece world is mostly Ocean. You sure we came to the One Piece World.

"Oh, no. We have to leave this place quickly."

What is wrong?

"We are in 'Master Teacher Continent!"
