Chapter 19

"Fastest depression recovery, must be Shina's special ability." Thought amused.

After eating, Kushina started dragging me to shop some clothes.

"It is a good thing that I am rich." Amused by the number of bags that he has stored in his inventory.

Finishing Kushina shopping spree, Ryu walking with her, on her way home and give her all bags, as he finished, Ryu gave her a goodnight kiss on her cheek and Kushina with a red face run with all her might while not forgetting to close the door.

<M…a…s.t…e…r>

Ryu was about to go home, when he heard a small whisper.

"?? Who are you?" thought Ryu.

{Don't worry host, this is your sword spirit it seems that she was sleeping, she just happened to awoken now. Master should go home and enter your mindscape.}

As soon as he entered his room and sat on his bed, Ryu entered his mindscape he become stunned, what he saw was a giant golden Fox looking tense, looking towards a majestic giant dark blue western dragon with sky blue eyes.

Ryu: [So I guess you are God slayer sword spirit?]

????: [Yes Master, I am Saphire, an Abyssal Dragon.] said Bowing towards him, while shocking him with a gentle and warm woman voice.

Kurumi: [Why I am not surprised? *sigh* I will go back to sleep.] said while going back to her small size.

Ryu: [How did you become a sword spirit? And I thought I would have to make some test to become your wielder or something like that.]

Saphire: [No master, you don't need to make any test, for how I become a spirit, I was hunted because of greed, gods that wanted my scales and core to cultivate and making artifacts and pills. I was one of the last of my race.]

Ryu: [What happened?] curious about how a dragon like her would become a sword.

[I could defeat hundreds of gods alone, but after the information about a rare abyss dragon leaked, Thousands come to defeat me, from low level to ancestral gods. I killed a lot of them, when I was injured and was about to die, seeing that there was no escape I used my remaining energy to break the siege and teleport away.]

[I didn't even care about to where I would teleport, but who would have thought that I was direct to your mother's palace, after being a bit stunned not only for where I was but because she didn't even give me a second glance, and I couldn't sense any type of aura or energy near her, with that I thought that she was far stronger, thinking about it made me shiver.]

[I didn't know who she was, but because I could sense danger from her, I saw that I was an ant near her, I asked if she could help me. As I had being cursed by many gods and had soul injuries I couldn't even be reincarnated, soon I would dissipate, so I asked her to at least give me revenge.]

[Your mother said that I could become a sword spirit and still live, and the weapon that I would turn into should be used to kill them. But after turned into weapon I should become her son sword.]

Ryu: [That at least explain the swords name.]

Saphire: [Yes, it was because your mother forged a katana and used my remaining soul and core, and slayed all gods that were attacking me, it increased the strength after bathed in their blood. I was absorbing their blood essence and adapting, that's why I couldn't come sooner]

Ryu: [You suffered a lot.] "It seems like you are and wuxia MC." Thought silently.

Saphire: [Your mother is my benefactor, as her son I will call you young master, and it seems that master hasn't been accustomed to it, you should become more accustomed, as you go to realm of the gods, they wouldn't dare to call your name knowing who you are.]

Ryu: [Troublesome]

Saphire: [Young Master, as I am awakened, now you can use my full capabilities, such as: Draconic Blue flames (Abyssal flames) infused with the sword, Dimensional opening, because it can use space law it can also cut through space, it can change its weight and length] seeming eager.

Ryu: [I can summon kurumi outside, as you are in my mindscape could you get out also?] curious.

Saphire: [Yes in my dragon form, but I need to recover more to get back my human transformation.]

Ryu: [Ohoo? Kurumi do you have a human like body?] turns towards the little sunshine fox.

Kurumi: [I never tried, or imagined a human body for myself.] without even opening her eyes.

Saphire: [It's hard to transform, but I can help you if you want.]

Kurumi: [hnn.] just opened one eye and closed again.

After spending some time talking and becoming more familiar with Saphire, Ryu got out and prepared to get back to Konoha.

"I wonder what they did after Danzo's death." Contemplating.

-Flash back-

-Konoha Kage tower-

All clan heads and hokage advisors had serious faces, when they got news about Danzo's situation.

Hiruzen: [We only found his legs, and a lot of places destroyed in Root, someone was strong enough to take him head on, from the looks of it.]

Kagami: [Sakumo-dono, you said you were near Root base when there was an explosion. Can you tell me what happened? Even one of our Sannin disappeared.] said while some nodded their head solemnly.

Sakumo: [*Sigh* I was near Dragon's pavilion with my family when I saw some Anbu running towards Konoha gates, I knew something wasn't right, so I followed them, after walking a little I heard an explosion, and almost all Anbu running and taking out the fire.]

[Someone, from Anbu asked for help as it semed that the Elder was being attacked, I rushed and saw that the attacker was Orochimaru of the Sannin] after he finished saying everyone was stunned, one of their heroes from the 2 great war betrayed their village.

Koharu Utatane: [That's quite a claim Sakumo-dono, what prof do you have about it, and why didn't you help?] asked one of the advisors with an angry expression.

Sakumo: [I helped, one of the guards from Kushina-dono was near, and helped me attack Orochimaru, after Orochimaru removed Danzo's legs with Kusanagi he saw that me and Ookami were rushing to him, he prepared to use reverse summoning, but with the help from Ookami ninjutsu I took at least Orochimaru arm.]

Hiruzen: [Ookami? What he was doing here in Konoha?] was alarmed.

Kagami was pale, even thought Ookami was an Uchiha he was still working in Uzugakure. He fears that Arashi might use him to retaliate.

Sakumo: [He must be protecting Kushina after the kidnapping incident. She is the Uzukage granddaughter after all.]

Homura Mitokado: [Truly unfortunate, we lost three monster level shinobi from Uchiha and Senju clan. Sayuri Senju Uchiha SS-Rank, Ookami an Uchiha S-Rank, and Ryuji Senju Uchiha he is at least Anbu captain level with only 12 years. But Ookami can't move within our village without Anbu looking after him, we have village secrets and …]

"Anbu? Please that kid destroyed Danzo and Orochimaru, two Kage level shinobi, without receiving a scratch and I know that he didn't even tried hard. He should deal with them even without me." Thought Sakumo amazed by Ryu's fighting capabilities.

Hiruzen: [it is alright, I will talk to Arashi, he saved Tsunade and now helped Sakumo, he must be and Uzu Anbu but he helped us when we needed more, and he is powerful, when I arrived at Ame border I saw that even Hanzo didn't move to attack him, just stayed wary of Ookami and he was carefree without any tension or fear for the situation.]

Anbu Commander: [Tsunade-dono he has some friendship with you? How come he run all the way to protect you?] was curious and the clan heads perked at the question.

Tsunade: [I saw him when he was helping Grandma and Kushina, He knows me because of my lineage of half Uzumaki.] she talked but you could see a hidden blush on her face while remembering Ryu's adult body and Astonishing handsome face.

Hiruzen: [There is conflict after conflict after we finished the war, at least we solved Uchiha and Hyuga clan affair, Fugaku Uchiha after he woke up tried to resist Yamaka clan mind reading jutsu, and now is a retard because of some brain and mind damage.] puffing out some smoke while explaining about their clans conflict to shinobi counsel.

Jiraya: [Sensei, what will we do about Orochimaru? You don't think that he really did something like that right? He might be a little creepy but he is still a comrade.] was still not believing his teammate betrayed the village.

Tsunade: [….] Tsunade was silent but inside she was happy that her grandpa's village remove a plague, and she was still angry and waiting to deal with the Snake after what he did to her little brother.

Anbu Commander: [We should put him into the Bingo Book, after Sakumo's explanation and Orochimaru's arm near the fight place it must be him attacking, and he didn't make any effort to come back and explain or claim innocence. He just run away.]

Hiruzen: [*Sigh* You are right, ….. Orochimaru will be placed on Konoha's Bingo Book as an S Rank missing nin. Dead or Alive. If there is nothing this meeting is finished.] after letting out a tired sigh, the Hokage asked to even his advisors to let him alone for a bit.

"Old friend what did you do? It is retribution for all your misdeeds? Or it is my punishment? I lost a friend and now a student." Thought the hokage while looking towards his window and observing his villagers.

Hiruzen: [Anbu! I need you to send a message to Uzugakure to Arashi the Uzukage.]

"Our friendship become strained after Danzo's interference in war, I hope I can at least bring some benefits back. Ryuji and Kushina got oout from Konoha a day after Danzo's death … There is no way they were in this mess, right? Hmmm, it must be Ookami needing to report to old Arashi about Danzo's death and he couldn't let the Uzu princess without defense, and took her."
