Chapter 92 - 85: Going back to the Elemental Nation

Hikaru walks towards them while drawing his Dragonslayer Spear. This was the spear that Ornstein used, and this is also one of the strongest weapons Hikaru has. A single thrust of this spear can obliterate an entire mountain with ease. That's just the power given to the wielder by this spear. But, you need to have enough physical strength to just carry this.

Adalius narrowed his eyes at the walking Hikaru and said, "For a young child like you to have that kind of killing intent… How many people have you killed?"

Hikaru then stopped in front of the examiners and answered his question, "Ah, I can't really remember. But I think, in these past 6 years, I've killed around 5000 or so."

A golden colored pistol slowly formed on Adalius' right hand and Immediately, Adalius had his gun, pointing on Hikaru's helm.

Hikaru didn't even react and said to him as he pulled the gun closer to his helm, "Do you want to blow my brains out? Then do it, let's see if you can really kill me. C'mon, do it."

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Without any hesitations, Adalius pulled the trigger three times.

Almost everybody watching screamed in terror as Adalius shot Hikaru. Yet, when they looked at Hikaru's helm clearly, there wasn't even a wound nor a dent.

Hikaru was still standing there like nothing, even Adalius himself was surprised. This gun of his is made entirely of mana along with the bullets, the stronger his magic, the stronger his shots. He is fully confident that he can shoot the largest tree in the world and his bullets would destroy it. But this kid, he survived without any wounds from his bullets in a point blank range.

But that's impossible! Not even a Tier 12 would dare to stand in front of his bullets.

"Ho, so that's how your gun is made, " Hikaru interestingly said, "Let me replicate that." He put his spear on his back and opened his armored covered left palm.

Adalius was confused, why did he say that? Can he really replicate his magic? That's possible, since he's gun magic is not that unique. But that will still be quite hard, even he, Adalius, took one month just to create his gun. And only the ones who are really talented in the gunslinger field can do that.

Yet, here he saw, a boy no older than 15, re-created his gun magic.

Slowly, a black colt anaconda with golden lines flowing through it formed on top of Hikaru's palm. This is a new addition to his arsenals of magic spells. He has a bunch of them, that's why he had to write down on an empty book. All of his current magic spells and techniques were written in a single book because he sometimes forgot about some of them.

Adalius just sighed when he saw the kid recreate his gun magic.

"Prodigies really do exist." Adalius said, trying not to break in tears. All of his hard work back then is nothing in front of this kid. He was just about to turn around and leave, when he heard Hikaru say something that stopped him from his tracks…

"Why are you leaving? I still need to shoot you, you shot me first, after all."

Hikaru extended his left hand upwards with his newly formed magic gun before he pulled the trigger, and a huge amount of magic power was released!

BOOM!

He fired a single shot, and the five basic elements of magic came out of the gun and made a hole in the cloud up in the sky, and it didn't even stop. But before it could really reach the barrier, Hikaru canceled it instantly.

He then pointed his gun at Adalius and said, "So, are you going to run away, or not? And also, I don't understand why you pointed your gun at me in the first place. Was it because I said that I killed five-thousand people? Well, for your information, all of them were mostly bandits and corrupted nobles from my land. And the rest are just members of an evil organization. So, as a payback, I'll also point this gun at you."

Five-thousand people? Pff, he's killed more than that. Around 20,000, that's his estimation. He did take their lives but they were all corrupted anyway. If he left them alive, they would've caused a lot more trouble. Their depravity knows no bounds, that's what he learned after 3 years of seeing countless bandit camps.

For him, creatures with intelligence are the most depraved creatures in the multiverse. If the history of Earth is true, then he's most likely right.

Adalius sweated, knowing his mistakes clearly. If that kid really fires that gun, he's dead meat. Not even the goddess can save him from that. He couldn't move due to fear, one shot from that gun can finish him. He saw that earlier, when he fired it at the sky.

Suddenly, Hikaru laughed loudly, "Hahahahaha, you really fell for it! I'm not going to shoot you, you must've just guessed earlier that I'm some sort of a sadistic evil bastard. That "evil" part is not true, but me being sadistic is debatable. Anyway, I passed the test, right?"

'This brat…Sigh, I can't really blame him. I shot him in the head, and if that armor wasn't on, he might be dead by now.' Adalius said inside his thoughts.

"All right, you passed the test. I don't need to fight you to know that I'm going to lose. I'm terribly sorry for earlier, I mistakenly thought that you were someone who murders for fun. That killing intent of yours was as powerful as those murderers I've seen in the deepest parts of this town's prison." Adalius apologized.

Harley, meanwhile, was staying silent so that boy won't turn his attention to her. He might change his mind and attack her.

(Note: Common sense in this world is quite, uh, how do I say this, special? Yeah, special…)

After all that skirmish, the entry test went smoothly. Hikaru and Hiroshi got the rank of Diamond Rank Adventurers and as a celebration, the two of them took some missions that adventurers would normally avoid and went out to finish all of them.

They hunted large Basilisks, Wyverns, Rouge Giants, Megalodon, Krakens, and all the dangerous stuff that would normally be avoided by most adventurers.

In their adventures, they saw many small villages in need of help. Hikaru gave them all thousands of golds, and after that, they all treated him as a hero.

(2 Weeks Later)

After all of that, Hikaru decided that he would return to the Shinobi World for a day. He really wants to see Azumi, it's been too long. After finishing all of their missions and experiencing a lot of things, they returned to the Town of Unity as living legends. The two of them were regarded in high regards by the people in the Town, no, not just this town, but the whole Kingdom of Humans!

It seems like their exploits and adventures were heard by the people. The news reached far and wide because of the bards. Bards are people who sang to spread legends or stories.

In just 2 weeks, all of this happened. Town after town, they traveled. Hiroshi almost forgot of his objective, to kill the goddess. He forgot because of all the fun he's having while venturing with Hikaru. They killed large beasts threatening many populations, which turned them into living legends. Turns out, killing a Goblin Emperor is a feat not even the strongest adventurers have done. And they even killed a Mutated Demonic Ogre King, which is the first time that it was ever done by anybody.

After returning to town, the first thing they did is submit their reports on the missions they've done before resting on a nearby Inn.

Hikaru decided to tell Hiroshi that he will be leaving for a day to meet his lover. Hiroshi had no problems with that, since it's been two long since he had a good rest. He'll probably sleep for an entire day. Fighting for 2 weeks without rest can be quite mental straining. But Hikaru had no problem fighting for 2 weeks straight, he's basically a killing machine if you think about it.

So, he then left Hiroshi in the Inn and set out to go back to the elemental nation for a day. If he's calculations are right, then it's now August 3 back on the Elemental Nation. The Fourth Shinobi war is supposed to happen a month from now. But since he messed up the timeline so bad that it might start earlier than he expected, or longer than he expected.

(Meanwhile, back on the Elemental Nation)

5 Days after Hikaru suddenly disappeared, the 5 Kage Summit was called. The one who went as the acting Hokage was Itachi, since he's currently the strongest in the village.

After he was freed from his cell, he decided to meet his brother first. But he didn't think that there was another Sasuke there, albeit an older one. He can say that the older Sasuke is older than him by a decade. It's quite weird, since he's supposed to be the older brother.

Well, they just decided to talk about some things.

Itachi is stronger than before, even with just his Mangekyou Sharingan, he's definitely the strongest in the village right now. Without anyone to lead the village, Itachi decided to take the hat of a temporary Hokage. Of course, a lot of people had problems with this, since he's just a recently released criminal. But they had no other choice, Konoha cannot look weak in front of the other major villages.

Konoha is vulnerable right now, all of their buildings were destroyed by Pain's attack and their Hokage is still fighting for her life right now.

Then, just as they were discussing the Akatsuki in the 5 Kage Summit, Tobi suddenly arrived in the middle of them. He declared himself as Uchiha Madara, and said that if they don't give him the 8-Tailed and 9-Tailed jinchuuriki, he will wage war against the whole world.

They declined his ridiculous offer, obviously.

But "Madara" then declared the Fourth Shinobi War.
