Chapter 17 - 14 - Odin arrives

* * * * *

[Yo partner. Correct me if I'm wrong but what you did just now was--]

Sasuke was currently on his way back and a red gauntlet appeared on his arm.

[I could faintly sense a different dimension when you created that distortion. I haven't really asked before but your eyes, what exactly are they? Even though I have lived for very long, I have never seen such eyes before.]

Sasuke sighed.

Well, since I'll be leaving soon, there is no harm in telling you--

After buying a drink from a convenience store while walking back, Sasuke sat on a bench by the road.

Now then--

Where do I start?

I was born in a world where people were blessed with a form of energy known as Chakra, enabling them to use Ninjutsu.

People who utilized this chakra for Ninjutsu were known as ninja.

A year ago, my world was threatened by a group of terrorists and subsequently, a being known as Otsutsuki Kaguya, the first person blessed with Chakra, was also revived. She was a person capable of travelling and transporting people into her own dimensions.

Hence, I undertook a secret mission--

To investigate the mysteries behind the Otsutsuki clan.

My left eye is known as the Rinnegan while my right eye is known as the Sharingan. Only members of the Uchiha clan were born with the Sharingan.

The Sharingan enables the user to use a variety of special jutsu, such as casting illusions on people. That was what I used on Vali Lucifer during our fight.

My left eye is slightly different. It evolved from my Sharingan after I received a special type of chakra.

The Rinnegan enables me to travel through dimensions.

Thus, I decided to investigate Kaguya's dimensions to find out more clues about her clan.

However, while investigating halfway through, I somehow ended up in a totally different world instead, which is where we currently are.

When I came to this world, I had used a significant amount of energy, so--

But, my left eye powers are slowly coming back.

Very soon, I should be able to leave this world.

That's the reason I'm telling you all these.

Sasuke paused after saying that last sentence.

[I see. Well, after hearing your story, I can't say I am really surprised. It is not impossible for such

a thing to happen. But, are you really okay with leaving? Especially Rias Gremory. It seems she has developed some sort of...fondness for you.]

Sasuke lifted his arm as he stared at the gauntlet.

The reason for my journey is to seek atonement for my past actions. I will try to help this world while I still can but--

Eventually, I have to return as well. The threat facing my world is still not over.

Sasuke's memories popped up one after another as he recounted to Ddraig.

His brother's betrayal, joining the Akatsuki, seeking revenge on the world for ruining his brother's life, trying to unite the world by plunging into darkness and finally, being redeemed by his friend.

Sasuke reaffirmed his decision as he spoke to Ddraig.

That's why, I have to do this.

[Since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. I'm also interested in seeing a totally different world.]

Sasuke was stunned for a moment.

[What are you surprised about? Of course I will follow you when you decide to go back to your own world. Now that we are partners, we have to stick together. It's always interesting to see something new after all.]

Hmph--

Sasuke revealed a smile after hearing Ddraigs words.

However, when Sasuke finally reached back home, there were quite a few unexpected guests inside.

"Hohoho, I have come to visit. Well Well, if it isn't the Sekiryuutei. Sorry for barging in."

An elderly man with long grey hair and a matching beard started laughing after seeing Sasuke.

This old man--

He is not normal.

Standing beside the old man, was a middle-aged, gruff-looking man with black hair and a young woman with long, straight silver hair.

The rest of the Occult Research Club members were also present.

Sasuke turned his attention to Akeno for a second, who was glaring at the middle-aged man before facing the old man--

"Who are you lot?"

"My my, youngsters are so impatient these days."

The unfamiliar guests started introducing themselves to Sasuke--

The muscular man spoke first, "My name is Barakiel."

The young woman with silver hair bowed as she introduced herself to Sasuke--

"My name is Rossweise. I will be under your care during our stay in Japan."

The old man started stroking his beard while Rias stood up--

"This is Odin-sama, the Chief God of Norse Mythology."

"Hey, sorry for making you wait."

"Goodness, you're late Bikou."

"I was confirming things with Vali. Well, we should go greet him. It's really troublesome if we make him wait."

The young woman got up while stretching.

"I don't really care about the plan, though."

Bikou turned around while winking.

"Don't say such things, Kuroka. This is work, too."

"I just want to get my little sister back."

The woman licked her finger while revealing a seductive smile.

Wait for me, Shirone.
