Ichizu got dressed in his black-red exorcist costume ,he had to go to *Hidden rain village* and take care of pain and make sure that the plan progresses smoothly ,without any problems as *Nations gathering* event is close.
'Sasuke is currently fighting Itachi, though Itachi is way stronger than original due to the bloodline pill I gave him. In disease was also cured. But Sasuke too is not weak plus he is not fighting alone....I have ordered Gilgamesh and Enkidu to watch and prevent any misharps from happening ,when the time comes Shisui will do the 'Task' I assigned him to do.' thought Ichizu as a sad smile surfaced his face.
'Sorry Sasuke but I know that you would have found out about the 'truth' eventually...and also you will have a change to avenge our family.' thought Ichizu after thinking about how he would need to prevent Sasuke from committing murder so that other villages won't be able to use anything to their advantage when he declares Sasuke ,a shinobi of Konoha.
Also to declare that Itachi as been freed from the Masked bastards control, even though they will surely try to take Itachi in custody for 'questioning' ,he wouldn't allow them to.
'Father and the 3rd has already for *Village hidden under stars* to take care of 'him'. Semiramis and Jeanne d`arc ,both of them are guarding the 3-headquarters with Zabuza , Haku , Saber and Archer. Plus the jinchuriki's from that of 2-tails to 7-tails are being confined in the 'Garden'.' thought ichizu.
'Though I would be using them to kill their own comrades, it can't be helped I am no saint ,I can't allow the war to stop before Kaguya is freed. So....I will give them to Shisui and tell him to place them under his genjutsu while using them against the allied forces.'
'This will allow the opposition to put up a good fight....as an compensation they wouldn't need to die.'
'Sigh...something one needs to steel his heart and do whatever it takes to reach the goal...even if you would become a murderer. One again I am no saint...and never will be one.'
{Woosh}
After disappearing from Konoha he arrived outside the border of *Hidden rain village*, he accessess the system interface as he thought of retrieving *Area-based sealing formation* so that when he fights Pain it wouldn't affect the village and also won't allow Pain to call for reinforcement.
He could defeat Pain easily ,no sweat even when his powers where being suppressed for the time being.....but his mission wasn't to kill or defeat Pain but to manipulate him for his own benefit.
He had already planned out how everything will take place.
"Huh...what's this small red blinking dot at the left end corner of the screen...~Tony~ what is this small red dot and why did it suddenly appear on the screen.????" asked Ichizu while being confused due to the suddenly appearance of the red blinking dot.
[~Tony~:-*host* just like in a game ,like pubg has a notification box containing official announcement regarding a particular topic, I too has given a notication when you first summoned your servants....and due to you not checking the notification box ,it was left unread.....and now due to the validity date being close to end ,I has send a reminder in red blinking for form so you may open the notification box and collect the 'Item'.]
"So you are telling me that for more than 3 years an 'Item' has been lying inside the notification box waiting for me to be collector and you didn't even inform me about it." gasped Ichizu in surprise.....though he wasn't anger or anything cause there was one think he clearly understood about the system.
It was only a merchant ,a shop keeper ,a salesman not his friend ,maid or anything system did only one thing that was bussiness nothing else the only advantages given by it were some perks plus an acceptable price.
It allowed the user to buy things at any acceptable price unlike other systems that were made just to make Mc's life tough and misserable.
[Would host like to collect the reward that I has awarded you with...????]
"Off course please collect the prize...." said Ichizu with curiosity and excitement.
[Collecting reward.....*Ding*]
[User has acquired *Eresgkigal summon ticket*!!!!!!!... congratulations.!!!!!!]
"Why has I been rewarded with this reward after all this is an extremely strong summon with many abilities.....and as far as I remember, I hadn't completed any quest worthy of this price." asked Ichizu thinking why did he acquired this summon.
[In truth Eresgkigal is another side of Ishtar, due to them being sister goddesses, that is summoned whenever Ishtar is summoned. In normal case when grail was present she and Ishtar would share a same body will taking control of it for sometime but since it is I, THE SYSTEM has summoned Ishtar ,resulting in her also being summoned ,it's just that I have separated her from Ishtar by making another separate body for her.]
"Looks like I have got a surprise for you my dear Ishtar~ fufufufufuffuufufufu....." laughed Ichizu as Ishtar materialized beside him and asked shyly with a red-blush on her face.
Ichizu patted her head as he spoke "Just watch...."
He raised his hand in front of him and shouted loudly after casting a *Space-sealing seal* to isolate the area around them.
"I summon you in the name of SYSTEM ,come forth queen of the underworld.... Eresgkigal!!!!!!!."
A bright light appeared in front of him as Ishtar closed her eyes due to the intense light radiating from the spot. Ichizu activated his sharingan while looking straight at the blinding light with a crazed smile on his face.
"Are you my master...????" came an otherworldly voice as it vibrated through the air.
"Fufufufufu....Ishtar did you like my gift.
"Master due you really love bullying me so much *sniff* *sniff*." sniffed Ishtar as tears appeared in her eyes.
Seeing this Ichizu just smiled and pulled her into his embrace and said "No I don't like bullying you Ishtar it's just that you should try and mend the bonds which you possess with your sister as you know that even though both of you are not on good terms ,even though both of you are rivals and even though she once ended up killing you for entering the underworld ,she still loves and cares about you deeply.....isn't that right????"
Hearing her question Eresgkigal just turned her head sideways as some tears formed in her eyes when she saw Ishtar looking at her with hopeful eyes.
Suddenly Ichizu's eyes turned into rinnegan as he used *Universal pull* on Eresgkigal who couldn't react due to being emotionally unstable and pulled her into his embrace.
"Now forgive each other and mend your bond with a hug." said Ichizu as he huddled both of them towards each other.
Both of them hugged each other ,though Eresgkigal struggled a bit, Ishtar's tight huge didn't allowed her to escape.As some tears fell down both of there faces ,they cried while embracing each other ,forgetting their past grievances.
After some time Ishtar got up walked towards Ichizu and gave his a tight huge while saying "Thank you master...."
Ichizu stroked her black hair and said "No problem...."
Ishtar Looked up towards her masters smiling face and was stunned due to the sheer handsomeness it radiated. She clenched her fists tightly as determination could be seen in her eyes and suddenly kissed Ichizu on the lips.
She quickly hid behind the stunned Eresgkigal and whispered in a low voice "Sorry master ,I always wanted to do so....b..but I couldn't gather enough courage after remembering the things I had done before the grail....I was scarred of staining you if I were to touch you with my filthy soul and body....bu..but now that I has started a new I will never do anything against the wishes of my master.....please forgive me..." said Ishtar as more and more tears started to fall down her face.
Ichizu walked towards her ,bending forward and planted a kiss on her forehead while saying "What was in the past is the past .....I don't care about the past....so don't worry as I too am not untrained by the world."
"Now...now we need to take care if someone hehehe he...after that I will take both of you sisters and show you some cool places."
