Chapter 26 - Chapter 28

(Author Note! It has been so long since i read any eastern martial cultivation novel and i don't really have time to read it currently. We will have to skip those worlds until i have caught up with some of them. I might skip them all, i still don't know though.

In this new volume i will experiment with some slow-moving writing and more conversation centered content. Not so much that it will annoy you, hopefully. I will also focus a lot on developing MC and his relationship with his family and all that.

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

Inside the void between universes and dimensions, 5 irregularities were floating along with the stream. One of them was floating with closed eyes and relaxing while the others were all watching the endless starry sky outside this multi-coloured stream that they were currently inside of.

"This is fascinating, Master," Undertaker said with awe visible on his face and inside his eyes. He and the rest of them took on Alucard's way of addressing Ginrei after they entered the dimensional stream, that this place was called.

"It's quite the sight isn't it," Ginrei said with both eyes closed.

"What's out there, outside this river or stream as you call this," Ryu asked while referring to what looked like a starry night sky that existed outside the stream.

"That existence itself, i suppose would be the best way to explain it. All those countless shining stars that looks like the stars in an ordinary night sky, is in fact different universes. This stream is connected to all of them and that's how i travel between all worlds in existence." Ginrei explained while looking incredibly bored of their current situation.

"That's an incredible ability, My Master," Alucard said in a low and creepy voice which still made the skin on their bodies crawl.

"It is. So don't anger me or I might leave you in a universe where death is the only outcome." Ginrei said with a mischievous look.

"Master, would you mind if i asked you a question?" Ryu who was the other one other then Ginrei who calmed down pretty fast after seeing this stream. He was very cold and calculative and he usually never asked questions, but when he did they always had a specific point to them.

"Sure, ask away." Ginrei didn't mind that they called him master, but it still sounded a little weird coming from Ryu's quiet and emotionless tone of voice.

"Is you of now, the real you?" Ryu had his eyes glued on his masters back since he was floating behind him.

"Are you asking if I'm really at all?" Ginrei turned around and faced his subordinates. The look in their eyes said that they were all curious now if what he asked had any truth to it.

"Yes! You seem a little too simple for being someone that can travel between dimensions and universes." Ryu actually seemed to struggle to find the right words to explain what he was feeling.

"That doesn't really make sense, but i think i know what you are getting at, Ryu. And you're right. Let me show you the real me." Ginrei said and his body started to morph. His body physique changed somewhat. His height changed to 8 Feet and he now had a pretty muscular figure with well defined muscles. It wasn't quite as muscular as Goku, but it wasn't far from it.

He had slicked-back dark brown hair that wasn't too long. He had metallic gray or more known as silver-coloured eyes and overall, he looked pretty much like the definition of mid 40s handsomeness. This kind of man would be getting looks almost everywhere he went and maybe even a few phone numbers if this was his last life still.

"This is my original appearance. This is what I was born into." This was him from his last life but even though he showed this form, he would never be stupid enough to tell anyone where he really came from.

"KYAAAAA! YOU'RE SO HANDSOME MASTER!" Rize tried to desperately swim over and hug him and cuddle against that amazing face he now had.

"Stop right there, little girl!" Alucard grabbed her by the head with his freakishly long arms and held her in place.

"Unhand me you devil. I must cuddle!" Rize tried to fight against the grip but Alucard wasn't one to lose a physical confrontation.

"Both of you, calm down." With his new look his voice had changed as well. He had that legendary sexy growl in his voice that would make any man or woman fall for him. (Author's opinion)

"This is what i was created to look like, and my real name is Portgas D Dragon." This was who he was before he died, and of course the name was something he had thought of on the spot a while back so it wasn't the most creative name he could have picked.

"You are a true enigma, Master," Ryu said and smiled genuinely for the first time since he was summoned.

"You couldn't be more right, Ryu. The fact is, that not even i know why i really exist. I don't know why these abilities were given to me." there was some truth in that statement. He never really pondered on why he was allowed to do all of this and if he was the only traveler of this kind. He sure hoped that he was the only one since he didn't want his identity to be compromised.

"No matter what, you have our loyalty, master Dragon. We are here to serve you in whatever way you want." Undertaker said with a smile behind that hair that was covering the majority of his messed up and scarred face.

"YES! In whatever way you see fit!!!" Rize said and licked her lips while staring at her master with a crazy look in her eyes. Her eyes screamed hunger, but what scared him was that he didn't know what kind of hunger she thirsted for.

"By the way, master. What should we call you?" Ryu was the one to ask the question while helping Alucard in subduing Rize.

"You can just call me Dragon or master, whatever you see fit." He said with a tired and lazy tone of voice.

"Another quick note. All of you turn towards me. I have to fix your attire. They don't really fit the world we're visiting. Stay still! Dragon said and raised his hand towards his captains and they started to glow and their clothes were changed from their specific suits to a new form of clothing.

The captains now had on a classic black long-sleeved Kung Fu jacket and black pants. Dragon had on a Tai Chi Kung Fu Uniform that had a white top and black pants. If you look on all of them as a unit, it would be obvious to anyone that Dragon was the master and they were the students. Not only because of the colors but also the dominating aura that Dragon had over them.

Dragon's body physique coupled with the attire he had on, made him look exceptional and he looked both enlightened and fierce at the same time. Calm as the sea on a sunny day, but at the same time as fierce as the most terrifying storm.

"Great! Now be ready because we are soon arriving at our destination." Dragon said and communicated to the system and prepared for where they would appear in the elemental nations.

Dragon didn't care much for the plot of Naruto because they were just animations to him before, but now they would be real walking and talking people. He didn't think of anyone as fiction so he pondered on how he would feel when he met people that he never thought would actually bed real.

[Arriving in 10 seconds] The system gave the warning and the dimensional stream started to shine and vibrate and then everything went completely white and the captains behind Dragon all lost consciousness.
