Chapter 42: Holy Land of Magic

Madara and Hashirama looked on in astonishment as they saw the many different buildings and statues scattered around the land. 

They saw people walking around, with many of them having different and distinct appearances, yet they could practically feel the immense amount of Mana that was oozing from their bodies.

As they traveled behind their teacher on a small platform, their eyes were forced to widen as an elderly man appeared in front of them nearly instantaneously, with neither of them even be able to detect the man as he appeared.

'Can my Sharingan even track him? Can my Father's Sharingan track someone like him?' Madara questioned to himself as he looked at the old man, his entire body tense as if preparing for an attack.

The old man glanced at both Hashirama and Madara, yet that mere glance made them both feel as if they were in the presence of an overwhelming being.

Even Yao didn't give them such a terrifying feeling.

"Lady Sorceress Supreme, I didn't expect for you to be paying us a visit today. May I ask what the purpose of your visit is?" The old man asked while stroking his beard.

"Well, my two students here wished to visit Kamar Taj, and I figured that taking them to meet you should be the first stop on our journey." Yao stated before she turned towards her two students.

"This, is little Yama, also known as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, The Captain Commander of all three branches of Kamar Taj.

He holds authority only under myself, and his strength is only behind the Masters of the other Sanctums and Myself." Yao explained.

The man cleared his throat before speaking.

"I am nearly 150 years old, I don't believe I should still be referred to as Little Yama, Lady Yao." Yamamoto said with an exasperated look on his face.

"If you say so. Anyways, this is Kamar Taj." Yao said as they appeared in the sky again, with Madara and Hashirama getting another look at the massive city.

They saw people using Magic for mundane and easy tasks, yet they also saw people using Chakra to perform other feats.

They even saw other systems of power that they studied under Yao being utilized by citizens, with them understanding that Kamar Taj seemed to truly deserved its title of being the Holy Land of Magic.

"Their are six other Sanctums??" Madara asked as he couldn't believe that their were six more people, on top of his teacher, that possessed strength that passed the old man before him.

"Yes, young man. The Six Sanctums are spread out across the world, with each of them being connected directly to Kamar Taj via pocket dimensions. It is through them that our Sorcerers are then sent out to perform their missions, so that the location of Kamar Taj is not compromised.

In each Sanctum lies an artifact of power, one created by Lady Yao through the use of studying concepts to an extreme degree. There is also always a minimum of a hundred Rank 1 Sorcerers on stand-by, giving them the proper level of protection.

And leading these Sanctums are Six of the Eight Masters of the Mystic Arts, with each of them possessing Magical Prowess that is only outshined by the Sorcerer Supreme." Yamamoto explained as he looked at the kids.

"Who are they? We didn't learn about any of the Masters when we were learning from Sensei." Hashirama asked.

"It was because you are far from that level and the information wasn't quite relevant (It totally wasn't because I forgot), but I will tell you if you wish to know.

They are, in descending order of power,

Nabu, Master of the Order Sanctum.

Merlin, Mistress of the Light Sanctum.

Satoru, Master of the Water Sanctum.

Zeref, Master of the Dark Sanctum.

August, Master of the Knowledge Sanctum.

Aladdin, Master of the Healing Sanctum.

Each of them is capable of using Magic of the highest order, with them each defending the Earth from their own respective Dimensional Threat, one that Lady Yao viewed as needing to be monitored.

The final two masters are Master Oogway and Master Irene, who are special cases, as they very rarely intervene in the mundane world." 

"Oh? Why are they special?" Madara asked.

"Because my Mother chooses not to force her children with great responsibility as long as we promise to aid the World." A voice spoke in their ear.

Madara and Hashirama tensed again, as they turned to see a woman with crimson red hair and a staff walking towards them.

'How many monsters does this place have!!!' Madara complained in his head about being snuck up on again, yet his mind froze as he realized something, with both her and Hashirama realizing it at the same time.

'Did she say Mother??'

They looked to see their teacher with a wide smile on her face as she hugged the red haired woman, one that the woman reciprocated.

"I'm glad to have you home."
