202. Go Home

At the island that should be the location of the Kaiyougakure village, on the branch of the biggest tree, two people stood and looked around the island.

"Anyway, when you looked at it, this village was built not long ago."

"Yeah. The weird thing is that the trees seem to grow unnaturally."

"What is he planning to do by building a village here? Does it have something to do with princess Kaguya or something?"

"Who knows?"

The two people who were talking were Kisame and Itachi. The two of them discussed Kaiyougakure village which was somehow out of place.

Sometime later, they saw Izumi and the others suddenly appear.

"Hmmm? Isn't that your little brother, Itachi-san? Did he want your little brother to meet you?"

Itachi shook his head and said.

"I think it's not. But, let's wait for a bit!"

They were both a little surprised, but Itachi still remembered that Izumi had said he would take his brother with him.

When Izumi arrived, he immediately called all of his Shikigamis.

"Your duty is done. Now is the time for you to rest! I will call you again if necessary."

All of them bowed their heads respectfully at Izumi, then they all disappeared simultaneously and turned back into a few talismans that flew into Izumi's hands. Karin and Sasuke were so dumbfounded to see it, it was their first time seeing such a thing.

After that Izumi told the others to wait for a while, and without explaining anything to them, he went somewhere.

Izumi appeared on the biggest tree while floating in the air.

He said that the mission was accomplished and he was preparing to return to his world. He told them that they needed to wait for a little bit before he sent Sasuke somewhere else.

"You want to send him to another world?" Itachi was surprised.

"That's right. I can send him to a certain world that motivates him to get stronger real quick."

It would certainly be a good thing if Sasuke quickly got stronger. But he wondered what kind of a world was that. Since Itachi wanted to know, Izumi explained to him. And no doubt, what Izumi said was too unreal.

"A world where the people at the level of tailed beasts are everywhere?" Kisame commented. Although Kisame was said to be on par with a tailed beast, it was due to his chakra capacity. Kisame himself understood pretty well that his strength was still below that level. Unless a tailed beast was sealed, and the one that used the power of a tailed beast was a Jinchūriki, there was no way he could deal with it. Well, Killer B was an exception as he completely controlled the tailed beast's powers.

Izumi replied.

"Not exactly everywhere. But, there's a lot of people with such strength."

"Is it alright? I mean, wouldn't it be dangerous if Itachi's brother was sent to that world?" Kisame asked. And Izumi immediately shook his head.

"Don't worry! His voyage is still in its earlier stages. Basically, the enemies' strengths are at most on par with Jōnin-level ninjas. If the enemy is stronger than that, Sasuke's growth will stagnate." Izumi explained the reason. Kisame and Itachi immediately understood that Izumi really planned to make Sasuke stronger by fighting against the enemies at that level.

Izumi also added.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Kakashi is also our member."

"The so-called copy ninja?"

Both of them didn't think that Kakashi was also a member. No wonder Izumi and the others decided to help Konohagakure.

After they chatted for a while, he went back to the other chat group members. And not long after, Kuroneko, Kazuma, and Luffy were sent to their worlds.

After those three disappeared, everyone got a notification from their phones. Following after, everyone went back to their respective worlds one after another.

Karin followed Tabane to her world since Karin would be a suitable helper in Tabane's research on the many things they got from the shinobi world.

After that, Izumi visited the One Piece world while sending Sasuke.

Warrod called out Kisame and Itachi after Sasuke disappeared. Warrod explained in length about the chat group and how to use it.

And after Kisame heard that Itachi could tag along with him, he went to the Fairy Tail world as Izumi also discussed something with them earlier by planning to establish a guild. Moreover, because Kisame had defected from Akatsuki, he had no place to live in the shinobi world, which also applied to Itachi.

Somewhere around the outskirts of an extremely large city on a huge rock that stairs were carved and paved for entrance to the city. There is an ancient site called The Tomb of The Kings whose royal tombs are decorated like Egyptian mythology. It was the burial place of the kingdom's major royal figures.

Suddenly, two people appeared from the void. One of them looked to his left and right. He murmured in a low voice.

"This should be the Alabasta Kingdom, right?"

The two people who had just appeared were Izumi and Sasuke. Izumi looked at Sasuke who seemed to be holding his head in dizziness because he was not used to being transferred to another world.

Izumi felt a tremor beneath the surface that seemed like the underground chamber was about to collapse. He also sensed three auras beneath the ground. And he was sure that one of them was Luffy. As for the other two, he couldn't think of anyone else besides the King of the Alabasta Kingdom and Nico Robin. Izumi waited for them for a while until Luffy finally came to the surface.

"Oh Izumi, you came already?"

Luffy didn't expect Izumi would come into his world.

"Otherwise, your new crew will be left behind." Izumi's thumb pointed at Sasuke who was behind him.

"Right, how could I forget him."

Then, Luffy led the injured Robin and the King of Alabasta and put them under a tree. The King of Alabasta is Nefertari Cobra. Cobra thought Izumi was another pirate like Luffy, but with Izumi's dashing appearance, he seemed to be just an acquaintance of Luffy, not a pirate. Meanwhile, Robin was just staring at Izumi.

Izumi noticed it and stared back at Robin while putting on a smile.

"Is there something wrong with my face, miss?"

"No."

Robin immediately denied it even though Izumi knew that Robin wanted to say something. Even so, Izumi didn't force her to speak.

Sasuke looked around in amazement. The scenery around him was a unique place that he had never seen before.

"Where is this?" Sasuke asked.

"Somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Anyway, this place can make you grow stronger. But, I need to tell you beforehand." Izumi paused for a moment, before continuing to speak. "Listen, Sasuke! It's fine if you think about revenge all the time since it will motivate you to get stronger. However, you got out of control when you met your brother back then. And I'm sure you will do the same in the future. Remember! Strength is born from one's emotions. If you want to get stronger, control your emotions after you pull them! I'm sure your view will change afterward."

"Born from emotions?"

"That's right. Didn't you realize? Naruto did that as well. He drew out his anger because he didn't want to lose his friends, such as you and Sakura. As a result, the hidden strength within him burst out. You can do the same as well, and at the same time, if you draw out your hate toward your brother while controlling it, won't you become twice as strong as Naruto? However, you must remember your level of strength! The current you, it's impossible to defeat your brother even if you draw out your emotions to unleash your hidden strength. Know your strength first before trying to find out the enemy's strength! And make an instant decision after knowing your enemy's strength!"

Sasuke furrowed his brow. He understood what Izumi meant. Then, he pondered. He admitted that his unstable emotions made him take the wrong approach. He raised his head while asking.

"Why do you want to help me?"

"I don't want you to take the wrong path. That's it. And it's a waste to use the power of your eyes in that way." Izumi replied, then he turned his head to Luffy and said.

"Then, I leave Sasuke in your care, Luffy! I will go home now."

"Eh, now?"

"That's right. I'm busy, you know. More importantly, if Sasuke wanted to train, have him ask Zoro."

"Fine then."

After that, Izumi said goodbye and went back to his world.
