Chapter 64: An Unknown Threat
"Hokage-sama has agreed to meet you, you can go inside directly."
Without wasting any time Akira went towards the office room. Arriving in front of the door he knocked on it and waited for an answer.
After a few seconds an aged voice came from inside the room.
"Come inside Akira-kun."
Hearing the permission to enter he walked in and directly kneeled in front of the middle aged man on one knee.
"Hokage-sama!"
He bowed in respect which caused a glint of light to flash through Hiruzen's eyes. He looked at the man and asked.
"Tell me what happened at the academy?" While speaking he casted a short glance at the orb placed on his table before looking back.
He already knew what happened in the academy as he was keeping an eye on the students. He was curious about the kids recommended by the wife of the first Hokage.
"It was like this- - " unknown to everything Akira recounted the entire situation that happened in the training grounds.
After he finished speaking he looked back at the Hokage waiting for his words.
"I see~" Taking a puff out of his smoke pipe Hiruzen exhaled after a short pause.
He looked at the chunin teacher in front of him and spoke up.
"No need to interfere for now. I Think it would be fine for a short period of time but if such problems arise again, bring them here, I will talk to them."
Hearing his orders, the teacher was puzzled but did not complain too much and accepted them without any hesitation.
After he left the room, Akira made his way towards the academy and Hiruzen activated his orb to observe the situation in Konoha. His mind still thought of the scene he saw in the academy.
'I wonder if they are hiding something. Let's continue to observe them for a while.'
Days and months, during this time nothing major happened, he stopped going to the classes and sent his clone instead. There was no point going there.
He did not care about what they taught in the class, nor did he care about the kids in the class. They were annoying for him. He could somehow bear Minato who took the hint that he did not like talking and kept his talk to bare minimum.
During these months Nawaki tried to get closer to Kokuo and Matatabi but he was coldly rejected by them on the stop. Later when he heard that the girls were engaged to me he did not come out of the room for a few days.
After a short period of time Tsukimi even stopped sending his clone to the academy because he still got the memories from it and instead casted his illusion on the whole village to make them believe he was in the class.
Even after all this Time Tsukimi did not find any good potential to take in a disciple.
"Why are you so fixated on taking someone as a disciple?" Sitting on top of the Hokage monument, Tsukimi was looking at the whole village when he suddenly heard an ethereal voice calling out to him.
It was a voice familiar to him yet he hadn't heard it in a long time.
"You finally decided to talk to me? Mayurei~"
Tsukimi replied with a slight smile on his face as he closed his eyes.
"Humph! Who was the one who ignored me and spent his time with other women." Her cold voice filled with blame and aggression echoed inside his heart.
He felt a little guilty for enjoying his time while not talking to her and yet she was ready to talk to him. He sighed and replied.
"I am sorry~ I promise, I will never do it again and if you ever feel like talking you can always talk to me as well."
Hearing those genuine words seemed to work as she replied.
"This is the last time, you better talk to me or you won't ever hear my voice." Bringing the sword out to his sword realm Tsukimi caressed it with care and love in his eyes.
"Mhmm~ Now answer what I just asked." Suppressing a slight moan, Mayurei decided to go back to the topic which she just asked.
"Indeed I was in a slight hurry. A Few years ago something happened. I suddenly received an urgent message from someone." His words made the sword spirit listen to him with full concentration.
"An unknown entity wanted to interfere in this world."
"Otsutsuki clan?" She asked with uncertainty but Tsukimi shook his head and added, "That person is even more powerful than the Otsutsuki clan head or even the whole clan combined."
"There is such a powerful person in this galaxy?"
Tsukimi shook his head once again. " He is not from here."
The revelation shocked the sword spirit to the core. She did not understand why Someone so powerful would be interested in their galaxy.
As if seeing through her thoughts Tsukimi continued to explain what was happening.
"That entity, he was someone who stumbled upon this galaxy by chance and since it is a new galaxy that person wants to take control over it."
As Mayurei listened quietly, Tsukimi continued his explanation.
"There are many things involved but the gist is that he cannot interfere or enter this galaxy himself or so I am told."
