Chapter 437: Purple-Robe Daoist
"The first step of our plan involved the help of Set," said Tobias.
"As soon as Sasha heard the name Set, her face became ugly to look at. However, Tobias ignored her and continued:
"We need him to open a portal and teleport us far away from here."
"Is that the extent of your plan?" asked Michelle with a frown.
"Of course not," replied Tobias. "The next step involved Kingsley's help," Tobias explained the entire plan to the group, and everyone took a minute to ponder.
"It might work," said Michelle before looking at Sasha, who looked disgusted for some odd reason. "We have to rely on you?"
Sasha snorted coldly, "Why is she part of the plan?" She understood why Tobias needed her help, but she did not understand the need for Michelle's presence.
"She awakened an Incomplete Domain that has the power to save lives," explained Tobias. "At an important moment, her help can be vital."
"How do I trust her?"
Michelle did not waste time and handed her the contract they signed. After reviewing it, Sasha added herself.
"So, you agree?" asked Tobias.
" I don't have a choice," she replied. Then, a ruthless light flashed in her eyes. "Plus, I have a way to increase our odds."
"Then, let's move."
The three left the war tent and headed in the Shinobi Alliance's direction. Sasha summoned a car from her interdimensional ring and drove toward her direction with the utmost speed.
After arriving at their destination, Tobias suddenly moved and attacked.
Boom! He hit something about five meters in the air.
"What is it?" asked Sasha.
"Probably one of Madara's Limbo Clones," he replied with a sneer. With his Advanced Observation Haki, such a thing could not hide from him. However, he waited until they were far away from the main body to act to prevent Madara from acting against them.
Sasha frowned as she understood Madara did not trust her, "Let's go in; our actions should have alerted the people inside."
As expected, a few Ninjas came after hearing the commotions. Under normal circumstances, the Sensor-Type Ninjas should have detected them miles away. However, they were ordered on a different mission by Commander Set.
"Who goes there?" asked one of the leading Ninjas.
"It's Commander Sasha. Tell your leader I'm here to see him."
The Ninja frowned before heading back. Not long after, a handsome young man with pale skin and very long ears appeared.
"Sasha, my love, have you finally agreed to marry me?" asked the handsome elf with a smile.
"Set, this is not the time for this shit."
"True," he replied with a somber face. "Come with me."
The group headed to his tent, and it was bigger on the inside; it was similar to the Extension Charm from Harry Potter.
"Why are you here?" Set asked directly.
"We have a plan and need your help," said Tobias.
"Okay, I agree," directly said Set, which caught everyone by surprise; they did not think it would be so easy.
"If you did not come to me, I would have contacted you," said Set, talking to Tobias as he knew the latter was reliable in such a dangerous situation.
"However, I have a request."
'As expected,' thought the three.
"Sasha has to agree to marry me."
"Set, don't go too far; this is not the time to be joking," roared Sasha with veins on her neck.
"Who said I was joking?" he replied casually.
"Is that how you want to do this? Fine, I would rather die than marry you," said Sasha with unwavering determination. Set frowned as he could tell she might not be bluffing.
"Calm down," swiftly said Tobias, who felt the situation might get out of control. "How about we compromise? Sasha, you agree to go on a date with him. However, it is only a date and nothing more."
"You!"
"I'm fine with that," agreed Set. Meanwhile, Sasha wanted to punch him in his handsome face. However, after seeing the winks Tobias was giving her, she took a deep breath to calm down.
"Fine, I agree."
"Excellent," replied Set as he took out a magic contract and handed it to her. Sasha gritted her teeth and signed it after checking the content.
"Tell me your plan," said Set as he listened to Tobias' idea. However, a frown remained on his face.
"Is something wrong?" asked Tobias.
"You underestimate the severity of the situation and the power of a Legendary Arcanist," uttered Set with envy in his eyes. "This universe should not have any Arcanists except for the one that originated from the Samsara Hall. So, where did this person comes from?"
The faces of the three became ugly.
"Another Lord God," uttered Michelle with intense fear in her eyes. Their Samsara Hall was new and weak. So far, there have been three generations of reincarnators, and they are the recent recruit.
However, they were recruited because 95% of the second-generation reincarnators died during a battle with another Lord God. If it was not for the legendary powerhouse only known as Purple Robe Daoist, who saved countless people and ended the war, more of them would have died.
"This is one possibility," said Set calmly. "However, there are some doubts."
"Yes, if it was another Lord God, it would not only be one person but a group-unless he is a scout," analyzed Tobias. "As for the other possibility, it is an Arcanist who belongs to a world that has invented Omniverse Travel."
Set gave Tobias a strange look; he used the Magical Artificial Intelligence of his Magic Tower to analyze the current situation. But Tobias figured it out after a few hints.
'This guy wasted his talent by following the Haki System.'
"Impossible: How rare is it for a civilization to transcend the boundaries of their universe?" added Michelle. "And even if they did, most will be annihilated by the Void."
"Although rare, it is possible," said Tobias; he once spent a lot of points to learn about certain secrets of the Void.
"Something is not adding up," he continued, but he could not pinpoint what it was.
"You're right," added Set. "The core of the issue how did the Arcanist gets to this world. If he's from a civilization that masters Omniverse Travel, he should have a Magic Tower or a Floating City.
"However, if the Arcanist came to the Naruto Universe with one of these two, the difficulty of the mission would not only be Nightmare Level."
The others agreed as they knew the highest difficulty was after Nightmare, and it's called. Impossible. According to rumors, only Purple-Robe Daoist has ever succeeded in an Impossible Mission.
"Although the plan is not foolproof, it is the best we can do in the current situation," explained Tobias. "So, we better hurry up."
Set frowned as he wanted more assurance. As an Arcanist, he did not like to gamble or rely on uncertainty.
"I have a way to increase our chances of survival," suddenly said Sasha. "I have been secretly planting magical seals on Madara."
"You want to turn him into a Heroic Spirit?"
"Yes. However, he's one Tier higher than me, and I need your help."
Sasha is Tier 5 and very close to Tier 6. She wanted to use this mission to reach Tier 6 before turning Madara into her Heroic Spirits. However, in the current situation, she cannot wait and has to change the plan.
As for the reason Madara is so powerful? It's because she told him about Kaguya and had the latter swallow the Ancestor of Chakra.
"Fine, I'll help you," said Set. He was the only Tier 6 on the Shinobi Alliance's side and the only reason Madara had not won the mission. According to his strength, prestige, and merit, he should have been the Alliance Commander instead of a Legion Commander. However, no one trusted him.
Sasha was surprised by how easily he agreed. She thought he would bargain and prepared to acquiesce to a few more dates.
'Maybe this guy is not as bad as I imagined.' Regardless, she still found him disgusting.
"Let's begin."
"Tobias, go find Kingsley," added Set before looking at Michelle. "What is her use?"
Michelle quickly explained her worth as she knew that was the only way to participate in this plan.
"You can go with Tobias."
Set then cast an invisible spell on him and Sasha before heading back to the Akatsuki Side.
