Chapter 66 - Chapter 68 (1/2)

*Boom*

Inside a barrier that Dragon set up in one of the villages many training fields. Continues explosions were going off.

A few days had passed and Gildarts was fully focusing on gaining control of his magic. The reason for the barrier was because Gildarts magic kept going out of control and destroying everything around him. It all got sent to oblivion the moment he called forth his magic.

He had gotten better at control but he still could not draw upon his massive supply in battle without his magic going out of control. He could perfectly control his surface layer of magic. And with that amount he could still fight Jugo and Naruto equally and even win sometimes.

”That's enough of that.” Dragon was sitting outside the barrier and observing Gildarts progress.

”Gildarts, head back home. I have some things to do. We will continue later.” The barrier came down and Gildarts stood up.

”Okay, I'll see you back home father.” Gildarts ran off quickly and waved to his dad at the same time.

”Alucard come out.” A mist appeared from nowhere and turned into a person. Alucard with his classic red trench coat and big hat appeared.

”What is it, my master?” He kneeled down in front of Dragon that was still sitting on the ground.

”It is almost time to act. Before my empire can unite all villages under my banner. We will need the tailed beasts. I will personally handle, one tails, eight tails and nine tails. The Akatsuki are responsible for the others.”

”Also try and not kill the hosts. Now go and make me proud.” Dragon gestured for him to go.

”I understand, my master. It shall be done.” Alucard disappeared in mist.

”You can come out now, boy.” Dragon glanced at a tree in the distance. An elderly man with a white robe and a Hokage hat on his head walked out.

”I guess i was fooling myself when i assumed i could hide from you. I can't imagine the damage that boy will be able to do in the future. Nothing i wouldn't expect from your son though. It appears he is just as mysterious and powerful as his father.”

Hiruzen smiled and retrieved his pipe from inside his robe. He lit it and sighed.

”So, you really plan to collect all the tailed beasts? That might lead to a full-scale war between the villages. Or an alliance against you.”

”It doesn't matter what they say or do. This world will always be plagued by war if it continues like it is. Those beings are the cause for most of it and they have been that cause ever since the warring era.”

”People like the Raikage and tsuchikage are hard to convince with words so i will show them that what they believe to be power is child's play compared to me.”

'The wind started to pick up and the air around them felt eerie and it gave Hiruzen shivers.

”So you're not afraid that a war will start because of it?”

”No. First of all, i will take away the thing that has been the trigger for all wars. Then i will show them that though i am different now, I can still exterminate what threatens the peace i seek.”

”In front of pure godlike strength. They can only surrender. If they refuse, I will show them what happens when you piss me off.” Dragon said with a serious gaze.

”Whatever happens. You have the leaf village as support. My village have only grown and become a lot more peaceful since Danzo got taken away. A world without war is what Lord Hashirama dreamed off. I would be honored to participate in that dream.”

”Good! Now i have to go. I have places to be and I'm late for a meeting.” Dragon didn't wait for a response. He disappeared from the place in an instant.

'I wonder if that's just speed or some other ability? His movements are impossible to follow. No wonder the clans feared him. I couldn't even see him move.' Hiruzen sighed while smoking his pipe and he started to walk back to the village.

----------------------------------------------

'So this is Naruto's favorite place. Can't lie and say I'm not intrigued.' Dragon was standing outside the future most famous ramen bar in this whole village.

He lifted up the cloth covering the front and walked right in. The inside was pretty empty. Only the owner and a silver-haired woman sat inside.

”Honey, you made it. Come and sit down.” Sylvia beckoned for him to sit next to her at the counter in the front.

”How are you? What do you think of the village so far?” He sat down next to his wife and whistled to get the owners attention.

”Teuchi, I'll get the today special.” The man behind the counter looked at him funny and asked.

”Do we know each other, Sir?” His shop was quite famous, but only a few talked to him in such a lax and familiar manner.

”My son eats here a lot. He speaks highly off you.” Dragon smiled and tried to make himself comfortable on the uncomfortable stools this shop had.
