God of the Multiverse: A Shinobi's Destiny

Chapter 13

With his Uzu metal plate slashed, the other masked Shinobi in the Tavern shifted their stares away from Shinku's figure and finally went back to enjoying their conversations and drinks.

"Heh. We don't care if you revisit Uzu in the future. Carry out your missions assigned to you, and you can do and go wherever you damn-well please." Odin moved to take back his kunai as Shinku watched Summer prepare another drink.

"Then am I done here?"

"Hmm? Why would you think so, my boy? While you officially denounced your village, you still have to be initiated and tested."

Saying this, Summer placed a sake glass in don't of Shinku with a thick red liquid inside. It wasn't hard for him to sense the chakra fluctuations coming from the drink as it gave off a similar feeling to summer; as they both radiated a warm aura of love but also had hidden extremely sharp fangs.

"Drink up, kid. The seals are a necessity, so just do me a favor and don't break them." Odin didn't bother looking Shinku's direction as he watched his Kunai twirl in his hand.

'Then this is part of my initiation? But why the hell did it have to be this woman's blood? The seals could have been placed in sake or even water.'

With a bitter heart, Shinku reluctantly lifted his mask enough and downed the seal infused blood of the barista. Whether or not they had any ill intentions towards him, he would have sensed it, and he could easily break the feeble seals inside the drink.

"If the initiation is done, let's get the test done as well. It's getting late, and I'd rather not waste any more time."

"Oh. Aren't you at least curious how we plan to help you gather intel and train?" Odin asked, and Summer, who was moving to tend to another merc at the bar, stopped and shifted her gaze to the two.

"Curiousity killed the cat. And I truly didn't join you for a get strong quick scheme. I'm only here because I wanted out of Uzu, find some answers, and get stronger myself. As for my strength, it may not be much, but at least an entire village of Shinobi can get wrecked by be currently."

Shinku clenched and unclenched his hands as he recalled that not long ago, He faced all of Uzushiogakure's Shinobi and Kunoichi, including Akame and her family in a 'friendly' 1 against everyone and he left the clan ashamed to be called one of the strongest.

"Really lover boy? I think I could help you in training." Summer leaned over the bar to stare into Shinku's crimson colored eyes, making Odin sigh at her antics.

"Will you just hurry the hell up, Summer! I'm waiting for my drink!" The man spiky, brown haired, masked man across the bar shouted, spamming is large palm against the counter cracking it.

"Why don't you get that stick out your ass, Fukurō." Summer glared at the half owl masked man as she moved to grab a clean pint spat it it before pouring beer inside. All the while, she remained eye contact with the man as she soon slammed the pint in front of him, spilling some onto the bar.

"Is that better, my lord?" Making a mockery of the man, Summer turned away from him and moved to continue flirting with the masked hunk only to see that Shinku and Odin had already left, leaving a sack of around 20k Ryo.

"..."

Rage filled Summer's bones as she picked up the brown cloth sack and flipped it tightly. Her veins visibly bulged in her hands and brow as she enhanced her physical strength with chakra before throwing the sack at Fukurō, destroying the pint as he was in the middle of taking a drink from it.
