I would like to announce that I released a new fiction titled My Life In The Multiverse, check it out and tell me what you think.
----------------------------------------
Everyone watched in awe as Bakorio's eyes suddenly transformed into his Mangekyo Sharingan and he stared Kakashi directly in the eye causing his face to freeze before his vision slowly darkened…
From Kakashi's point of view, he barely had a moment to think 'Those eyes…' Before he suddenly found himself in a dark space he didn't recognize with Bakorio floating silently beside him "Where are we?" He asked in bewilderment since he didn't recognize his unfamiliar space and he was doubting if Bakorio used some kind of Genjutsu on him but the latter simply said "I need your help to locate her soul in the pure lands… Just think of your friend and call for her"
Kakashi never heard of such a Jutsu so he concluded that it might be an ability that was related to the eyes he saw before they came here just like his Kamui… After calming himself down, he nodded at Bakorio and started calling for Rin from the bottom of his heart "Rin! Rin! Are you anywhere near? It's me Kakashi!"
Kakashi kept yelling for a while, and he was about to lose hope when suddenly! white strands of light started gathering in front of them and they slowly formed in the shape of none other than Rin Nohara, and she still had the same youthful appearance she had before she died
"Eh? Kakashi!" She was confused at first by the weird location she appeared at, but then her eyes lit up when she saw Kakashi, and immediately gave him a hug
Kakashi stood there in a daze before he started crying and hugging her back while repeatedly saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry…"
Rin calmly patted his head and said with a warm smile "You've grown a lot, you shouldn't be crying… And you don't have to apologize for anything, I made my decision back then… I'm the one who should be apologizing for causing you so much suffering and burdening you with my selfishness…"
Kakashi didn't answer and simply kept hugging her as he finally had a chance to solve his greatest regret, and only he knew how much it ate at his heart… The idea of killing his own friend…
Seeing that he was still not calming down, Rin who also had tears in her eyes and was crying silently decided to try to change the subject and said "Who's this boy? Is he from the Uchiha clan?"
Rin was surprised at Bakorio who had his normal three tomoe Sharingan active before her eyes suddenly lit up and said "Have you become a teacher? Is he your student?"
Bakorio had a frown on his face while Kakashi awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and said "No, he's a friend…"
"mmm…" Rin kept staring at Bakorio curiously, before the latter got fed up with her and said "Get ready, I'm going to revive you now…"
"Revive me?" Rin asked absentmindedly but Bakorio didn't bother explaining to her any further as his eyes transformed again and suddenly, a white chain emerged from his hand and absorbed Rin gently to the surprise of Kakashi before he suddenly found himself back in the real world and staring at Bakorio whose eye was bleeding from using Yomi no Kuni… But for some reason, he seemed to still be in that dimension since he wasn't moving…
"Was I just imagining things?" Muttered Bakorio as he stared at the endless darkness around him with narrowed eyes… just now, he felt something interfering with him absorbing Rin into his chain, and he felt that Rin's soul was different from Minato's and Kushina's, but he couldn't pinpoint how…
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"Unfortunately, my mastery with souls is very weak, I will investigate this more in the future" muttered Bakorio before he left the shore of death as he called this dimension and he heard Kakashi immediately say with a worried tone "Is everything okay?"
Bakorio nodded at him with a smile "yea don't worry" before the same white chain he used earlier appeared again and entered Rin's head, although no injuries appeared on her body.
And after a few seconds, her eyelashes started fluttering slightly before her body suddenly shook as if shocked and she stood up immediately with wide eyes…
"Rin!" Yelled Kakashi, Kushina, and Minato as they rushed at her while Bakorio slowly retrieved his white chain…
'This was my first time testing this ability but thankfully it worked' thought Bakorio while staring at the chain that slowly vanished, this chain allowed him to connect more closely to the land of death and he could even use it to drag souls from there to this world just like he did with Rin, and he can only use this thanks to his Yomi no Kuni reaching level 100…
'I need to evolve my eye… I'm starting to lose sight slowly and I can't keep going like this' Thought Bakorio, after all, evolving his eye will make it completely recover just like when he evolved Jikniniki!
…..
Meanwhile, different from the joyful atmosphere in Kakashi's house, somewhere in the pure lands where Rin had just escaped from and sitting on a throne made of bones with countless souls and spirits wailing around him.
A man with Red-orange hair that reached his shoulders and was swirling like flames suddenly opened his eerie green eyes as he felt someone managing to remove his brand on one of the souls. So, intrigued, he followed the location of that feeling with his gaze that penetrated through the veil of life and death before his eyes landed on Kakashi's house and on a boy in particular...
"It seems like this is the kid the master wants to add to his collection… interesting" thought the man before he turned to his side and stared at a giant shadowy figure "This is the kid that sealed you with some weird power right?"
Surprisingly, it was the death reaper that was standing beside him and it obediently nodded at him which made the man's eyes light up further in interest before he slowly closed them and returned to his lazy slumber…
Such a dangerous man that ruled the world of the dead where the cries of the souls around him would terrorize anyone else, yet he simply laid there on his throne with a blissful smile on his red lips, a man forgotten by the history of this world, or maybe intentionally erased from it… And yet, he was only following someone else…
...…
Back at Konoha, after Kakashi helped Rin settle down, he went to visit Bakorio again and said that he was here to fulfill his promise and would always follow his orders if he ever needed him.
Bakorio was surprised by Kakashi's sincerity, and after he left, he checked his system's quests and found that indeed, Kakashi was telling the truth as his quest that has always been 3/4 was finally completed!
[Quest path of a lord 3: Gain four trusted followers that won't betray you: Reward 10000 points + Additional Reward (completed)]
He also realized that his Quest friend of the protagonist 3, was at 3/4 progress since Kakashi's one of the main protagonists of the story! But he ignored this one for now and focused his attention on his rewards!
[You received 10000 points, Taijutsu Talent: Master]
Bakorio suddenly felt his understanding of all of his Taijutsu and close combat techniques increase rapidly!
'This one is probably thanks to Mukai…' Thought Bakorio and he imagined Mukai's smug face saying 'You are welcome' and quickly shook his head with a smile…
'Now that this is over, it's time for me to finish training the rest of the sage arts and dark chakra, and after I'm finished, I will see what to do about Obito… It won't be easy to convince him, of this I'm sure' Thought Bakorio before he told Minato and Kushina that he was leaving Konoha to train for a while before they go to Obito and they reluctantly agreed.
"Now then, where am I going to find my ride, he's been missing for a while now…" muttered Bakorio since he didn't know where Kurama went to play after they arrived here so he called him on a communication device he left him in case of emergencies… "Yo Kurama, where are you?"
Soon after, the device vibrated and Kurama's voice came from it along with the sounds of explosions "Just having some fun…"
Bakorio was surprised before he said " Can you come meet me in Konoha?" after some silence, Kurama responded again "Sure, I will be there shortly" and all the while, Bakorio could hear the sounds of explosions and the roars of wild beasts…
'Is this what he does every time I'm occupied with something?' thought Bakorio with a wry smile as he waited for Kurama by the gates of Konoha…
