Chapter 61 : Just a Glance!

In the world of Pokemon, the World Tree trembled. This sudden occurrence prompted all the Legendary beasts, whether playing or sleeping, to become alert. They had received a message from a higher existence above even Arceus himsPokemon.

This revelation left them slightly bewildered, given the existence of beings with countless millennia of age. Chaos reigned in this world.

Long ago, an egg hatched after an eternity, giving birth to Arceus. He possessed the power to shape the world and held mastery over the eighteen elemental stones.

Fueled by this unparalleled power, Arceus created the world, and the world of Pokemons came into existence. At the core of this world lay the blue planet known as Earth, supported by the World Tree.

However, Arceus found the world monotonous and decided to split his essence into Palkia and Dialga, entrusted with overseeing space and time, respectively. They resided in distinct worlds, steering the world's course.

The triangle represented the most stable shape, and thus, Arceus created Giratina, the keeper of the world's darker aspects, tasked with absorbing, digesting, and purifying its negative elements.

Furthermore, Arceus summoned Kyogre and Groudon to control the seas and shape the land, but their rivalry sparked chaos. The world outside Earth also faced threats from other extraterrestrial beings.

In this tumultuous period, the World Tree awoke, causing a unique genetic mutation. This gave rise to Pokemon Eggs, which hatched into various mystical creatures.

Arceus also created the lake guardians: Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. Uxie is said to represent knowledge, Mesprit represents emotion, and Azelf represents willpower. These three Pokémon are said to be the guardians of the world tree, a sacred tree that is said to connect the real world and the dream world.

Subsequently, the elements - wind, rain, thunder, lightning, ice, fire, and earth - emerged, each giving rise to distinct elemental abilities and religions.

Humanity's origins were unclear, but Arceus created the Three Legendary Pokemon during this period. Humans and Pokemon coexisted, and their relationship evolved over time. Those with the power to shape the world remained legendary creatures, with Arceus being the most revered.

However, a startling message from the World Tree suggested the emergence of a power surpassing even Arceus. These two words, "surpassing power," sent shockwaves through their ranks. Was this power beyond the world of gods?

Without hesitation, the Legendary beings connected to the World Tree, channeling their power through various means - bending space, projecting thoughts, manipulating elements - to observe the events unfolding on Earth.

Suicune, originally resurrected and elevated to holiness by Ho-Oh, found itself enveloped in a strange light curtain. On the other side, a human face appeared on the golden List.

[Golden List Notification: Connection established. Communication duration: Ten minutes. Timeout results in failure. Please commence!

(9:59)

19:58)

(.....)]

The countdown began.

Across the ninja world, Terumi Mei and others witnessed Suicune's puzzled expression and scaly form through a live broadcast. The situation seemed dire.

Simultaneously, in the Pokemon World, Hunter J.J, Goh, Ash, Chloe, and other living Pokemon observed the light curtain enveloping Suicune. They were momentarily perplexed.

Could this be a special ability of Suicune, similar to being held?

Then, they witnessed a stream of light from the curtain entering Suicune's mind. Suddenly, it comprehended all the information.

Their awe for the Golden List was akin to Suicune's, perhaps even greater, as Ho-Oh had telepathically connected to them from afar, emphasizing the incredible power behind this mysterious golden list.

Terumi Mei, too, received the information from the Golden List and promptly turned off the broadcast. She could see the chat request from Gold List and reached out to Uchiha Ran through the channel.

[Terumi Mei: Brother Ran, Gold List suggests that to secure this transaction, you either have to defeat Suicune directly or gain Suicune's wholehearted approval. What should we do now?]

Convincing a non-human entity from another world, especially one she didn't understand, was beyond her abilities. Despite Gold List providing dual-text synchronization and language support, Terumi Mei felt helpless.

[Uchiha Ran: Wait a moment. I'll help you gain Suicune's approval.]

"What? In person?" Terumi Mei was taken aback as she opened her mouth slightly, her expression frozen.

"Personally" could only mean one thing - Uchiha Ran was heading to Hidden Mist Village?

The distance between Konoha and Hidden Mist Village was substantial, even for a Kage traveling non-stop. Uchiha Ran's statement that he would come over left Terumi Mei astonished.

"Flying Thunder God!"

Terumi Mei reacted quickly.

"Boom!"

The sound of shattering glass filled the room as a specially made kunai flew in through the window and landed on the table.

Following closely, a voice spoke, "Terumi Mei, I am here!"

A gentle and magnetic voice followed. "Fifth Mizukage, nice to meet you for the first time!"

"Boom!"

As Uchiha Ran's voice resonated, five figures donning Anbu attire materialized in the Mizukage's office, surrounding him with weapons drawn. These individuals were members of the Mist Anbu and Terumi Mei's bodyguards.

Terumi Mei turned around, raising her head slightly. Her dark green eyes met Uchiha Ran's dark pupils, sparking a silent communication and tension.

"Stunning... and quite alluring!" Uchiha Ran's inner thoughts trembled.

Terumi Mei, now in her mid-twenties, was akin to a ripe peach, oozing with potential and ready to be savored. Her touch could deceive no one.

As a seasoned ninja, he could conclude that she was indeed alluring.

However, to avoid being turned into vapor by Boil Style or Lava Style, he needed to tread carefully.

"So tall, so handsome... truly the ideal type!" Terumi Mei evaluated Uchiha Ran on first impression.

Her height was remarkable even among male ninja, and she was a full head shorter than Uchiha Ran, who was probably not older than sixteen. Her height provided a comfortable distance.

As for his appearance, it met the standards she had in mind. Perhaps if Uchiha Ran donned a white suit for a proposal, she might be tempted.

"Stand down!" Terumi Mei waved her hand, and the guards retreated. Their backs were drenched in sweat.

Uchiha Ran stood there with a smile, but when they drew their weapons, an overwhelming pressure and aura of death enveloped them, causing their bodies to tremble.

They were members of the Blood Mist Anbu, yet they felt powerless against this young Fifth Hokage. How strong could he be?

"Fifth Hokage?" Terumi Mei blinked.

Uchiha Ran understood her unspoken question and suppressed his aura. He disliked having weapons pointed at him.

"You came here really quickly. Did you leave a Flying Thunder God mark in the mist village?" Terumi Mei asked cautiously.

"No, I traveled from the border," Uchiha Ran replied calmly.

He wasn't lying; he had indeed traveled from the border between the two countries. The journey involved a combination of flying, teleporting, and precise use of kunai, taking less time than one might expect.

But what had not happened before did not mean it couldn't happen now. Unbeknownst to Terumi Mei, a subtle mark was left just below her shoulder. She had unknowingly been branded by him.

Terumi Mei chose to believe him, saying, "I trust the Fifth Hokage won't deceive me."

What choice did she have? Not trusting him would only lead to more complications.

After Uchiha Ran departed, investigations into deliberate markings were set in motion. The Flying Thunder God technique was indeed mysterious, and Uchiha Ran himself was an enigmatic figure. However, he paid no mind to these concerns.

Now, he was invincible in a head-to-head battle against anyone below the level of Six Paths. His Mangekyō Sharingan's time-manipulating abilities allowed him near-infinite endurance. Moreover, those he valued bore the mark of the Flying Thunder God.

Unless someone activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi at that very moment, there was nothing to fear in the ninja world.

"Right choice," Uchiha Ran muttered as he gazed at the light curtain with admiration and warmth. Suicune's creation was like planting a flower in his heart. It could walk on water and was considered a potent, wind-and-rain-affiliated creature in the Pokemon world - a deity of sorts.

With diligence and respect, he opted for a softer approach. His Sharingan appeared, activating the Mangekyō. Just a second later, the Golden List prompt appeared in Terumi Mei's mind.

[Golden List Notification: Transaction completed.

[Special contract signed.]

[Suicune's water-based abilities have been inherited.]

Terumi Mei: ???

What just happened?

What did Uchiha Ran do?

Genjutsu? But could the Mangekyō Sharingan exert influence through a light curtain on creatures from another world? Did it feel this good to outsmart someone?

Was lying flat this comfortable?

Brother, at least use some more difficult means!
