Sasuke was walking briskly through the Youkai Academy forest.

A few minutes ago, he had deceived the bus driver using a cheap, but effective trick. By making a clone inside the restroom, he had been able to escape from the creepy-looking man.

To be honest, he would like to fight the bus driver himself. However, for an obvious reason he couldn't do just that. His chakra reserve was nowhere near its full capacity at this moment. And It would be so reckless if he, who were still recovering from his injuries, got into another fight this early.

From the information he had read from Orochimaru's book, this world was filled with different kind of monsters. It seemed that the snake-sannin had made a thorough investigation about this "Otherworld" but Sasuke could only wonder as to where did Orochimaru get those information from.

According to the book, there were several different kinds of monster here. Similar with the shinobi ranks, monsters here were also classified into ranks, with S-rank being the strongest. Since he had no idea what was the bus driver's monster rank, Sasuke chose the safest way by escaping from him.

Sasuke was curious about this world. If there were many strong monsters here, he could grow stronger and reach his goals.

His goals.

Right now, he didn't really know what was his goal for the future. His previous goal was to kill his older brother Itachi; but it had already achieved when Itachi died during their fight.

This morning, Sasuke had been asked by that impostor who called himself Madara to join him. However he didn't want to, so he refused the offer. Sasuke didn't know who was the masked man's true identity but it wasn't that important for him. After they talked for a few minutes, they got into a quarrel shortly afterward and then not so long after, they began fighting each other.

It was Sasuke who had started the fight between them and unfortunately he was losing against the masked impostor. It was only by sheer willpower and some luck, he had been able to escape from inevitable death. Perhaps some mercy too, since it seemed that the man still need him for some reason.

Sighing, Sasuke made a decision. His future goal was to kill that impostor and revive the Uchiha clan.

However, in his current state, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goals.

Killing that man, was an impossible task for him to do at this moment. He had learnt the weakness of that man, but he must improve himself before they met again for the second time. Therefore he needed to train harder; he must grow stronger.

His second goal, was also impossible to achieve. In order to revive his clan, he must find a girl, but not an ordinary one. She must be strong enough in his opinion before he would consider her to be his future bride.

Only thinking about his future goals wouldn't change anything. He needed to do something now. He must find a way to get stronger in this world.

As to why he wanted to find a way to get stronger in this world, was because he didn't know how to go back to his original world; and the second reason was because he would meet that person again; he couldn't go back now.

Sasuke clenched his fist. It was so annoying to admit his lost. But no matter how he looked at it, he was still weak... for now.

Not wanting to think about that matter any longer, Sasuke began recalling the information about this world he had read before.

From the data Orochimaru had gathered and write in his book, this world was interconnected with a human world. This statement was of course brought another thought to Sasuke. It was so strange the monster didn't start attacking the human. It was obvious that the monsters were much stronger than ordinary human. Was it because different in number? Technology? Sasuke didn't know the reason but he would find out about that soon.

From the monsters data, if he had not mistaken, the strongest monster in this world was called a vampire. A race of monster that craved for blood, had tremendous power, as well as great intelligence.

Little did he know that there was one beautiful vampire in this academy.

As he walked through the forest, Sasuke noticed there was a swamp nearby. However there was something else there. More precisely, he felt something. It was so intent he couldn't ignore. There were killing intents directed at his person.

"Show yourself, I know you're there."

Three figures came out from behind a tree. There were three boys who seemed to be slightly older than him. They were wearing white and green school uniform which looked dirty. For an unknown reason, they were chuckling madly.

"Get out of my way." Sasuke snarled coldly.

"Kukuku," one of the boys' laughter reminded Sasuke of a certain snake-sannin. "I'm sorry but we can't let you go any further."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. He had no idea as to what this guys want from him. But maybe, just maybe, he could get some information from them.

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked the three.

"Well.. It's kind of embarrassing for me to say..." the leader said, "...But we're hungry, and the body of yours looks so deliciousss..." He ended his words with a hissing sound.

All three of them licked their own lips in unison using their long tongue. Their action of course reminded Sasuke to the certain snake sannin once again.

Sasuke smirked, "What would you do if I say no?"

The leader glanced at his friends before laughing, "Die—!" With that single command, all three of them transformed into their monster form and rushed toward Sasuke.

Seeing the incoming attack Sasuke just sighed in disappointment.

The three boys were just humanoid lizards which classified as C-rank monster according to Orochimaru's book. Even without activating his sharingan, Sasuke was sure he could end this fight in mere seconds.

Just before the three humanoid lizards could reach him, Sasuke disappeared from their sight using his superb speed. He reappeared behind them and perform the technique Uchiha clan had created years ago.

"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"

A big fireball was released from his mouth, roasting the three humanoid lizards alive. The three didn't even get the time to scream in pain as they were being roasted to death by Sasuke's fire jutsu.

Without giving a slightest hint of remorse, Sasuke turned his back from them. He wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible but— There was someone in front of him.

The new figure was clapping his hand three times before saying, "Impressive. You've killed three senior students of Youkai Academy with a single technique."

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked sternly.

"My, my, aren't you rude?" The figure said in a mocking tone, "However it doesn't matter for me. I was coming here to arrest those three, but it seems you just made my work become easier."

"You're only wasting my time." Sasuke snorted, receiving a laughter from the figure before him.

"Oh how amusing." The figure smiled, getting an infuriated look from the black-haired Uchiha. "Oh please, don't make such a face. You are not thinking about forcing your way to an S-rank monster like me right?"

"An S-rank monster!" Sasuke widened his eyes in surprise. "What are you? A vampire?" he asked the figure before him.

On hearing Sasuke's question, the figure scoffed in disgust. "Don't equalize me with those weaklings. Vampires just a bunch of arrogant kids who happened to be famous due to the fairy tales only."

"Is he really stronger than the vampires? Or is just lying?" Sasuke pondered in his mind, but before he could ask a question, the figure continued his words.

"More importantly, what are doing in my territoriality, killing academy students and who knows what other crimes you had made?"

"I got lost?" Sasuke shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly.

The figure smirked, "I like your attitude already, come with me, I don't like talking in an uncomfortable place like this." He said before continuing, "Don't worry I won't harm you."

"I don't believe you." Sasuke retorted sharply.

"A youko never tell a lie, now come." He grabbed Sasuke's hand and both of them disappeared in a swirl of flames.


Night has fallen already.

In a secluded underground palace within Youkai Academy, Sasuke was sitting in front of the figure he had met earlier. From their conversation, Sasuke had learnt his new acquaintance's name was Kuyou. Sasuke had also learnt that Kuyou's job in this academy was to enforce public justice among the students. However, from what Sasuke could apprehend from their conversation, it seemed that Kuyou enforces this so-called justice in his own way. In other words, Kuyou would give a punishment for those who oppose his belief.

It was not that Sasuke really mind about it.

Even though he wasn't completely agree with that, Sasuke didn't want to interfere with something he simply had no interest with. One day, someone would defeat Kuyou, thus ending his domination in this school.

During their conversation, Sasuke had also learnt that Kuyou hate the human race so much. However the reason was unknown for Sasuke because Kuyou didn't tell him. Of course this made Sasuke slightly wary because he was a human, not a normal human but a human nonetheless.

It wasn't like he was afraid of the long-haired Youko in front of him. Sasuke knew it would be much better if he avoid fighting now. At this point, he still had no idea how strong were the monsters in this world. The fact that his body hadn't fully healed yet was the more reason for him to avoid any higher-level fight now.

Given such circumstances, Sasuke told Kuyou that he was a lost wanderer who happened to come into this place during his journey. It was a relief that Kuyou seemed to believe him and didn't pry any further. However—

"So, Sasuke isn't it? What race are you?" Kuyou asked curiously. The youko was of course intrigued about Sasuke's race after seeing him performing a fire technique which doesn't belong to any race he had seen so far.

"Well, I'm not sure either." Sasuke answered calmly. "You can say I'm a hybrid race or something like that."

Hearing the answer, Kuyou nodded his head while rubbing his chin. He had thought about this possibility before. Sasuke was of course smelled like a normal human for him; but it wasn't possible for a normal human to move in high-speed like that, let alone perform a fire technique like he had done in the forest. It seemed his answer was enough to satisfy his curiosity.

"I see... and what are you going to do after this?" Another question came from Kuyou.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulder before answering, "I was looking for a place where I can get stronger as fast as possible, do you have any suggestion?"

His answer instantly got Kuyou's attention. While it was not strange for someone to look after power, his statement "as fast as possible" was bringing another question into Kuyou's mind. "Why do you need to get strong as fast as possible?"

"I want to kill someone." Sasuke answered sternly.

On hearing his answer, Kuyou stared into Sasuke's eyes intently as if trying to look into his soul just then, "So.. assassination huh? You're lucky I know the suitable place for you."

"Really?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow upon hearing Kuyou's words.

"You can find your answer in Fairy Tale." Kuyou grinned mischievously.

Rolling his eyes, Sasuke replied, "I'm being serious here, I don't have the time to read children books."

"It's not like that. Fairy Tale is the name of an organization ruled by Masked King-sama. The goal is to exterminated those weaklings called human race and just after that we can rise to our former glory."

Sasuke was sure he could see a blazing flame on Kuyou's eyes just now. From the way Kuyou called the leader with -sama suffix, Sasuke could deduce that whoever that Masked King was, he must be extremely strong.

"Interesting, where can I find this Fairy Tale?" Asked Sasuke.

"You want to join Fairy Tale?" Kuyou asked, getting a nod from the black-haired boy as his answer. "Well, if you can pass the test maybe you can join Fairy Tale."

"What kind of test?"

"I can't say, the test always different from time to time. You had better be prepared for everything" Kuyou said before continuing, "I will bring you there tomorrow morning."

"I see..." Sasuke said in a low voice before asking a question, "You seem to know a lot about this organization. Are you by any chance, happen to be one of Fairy Tale's members?"

Hearing Sasuke's question a smile formed on Kuyou's lips, "My, my, aren't you smart? Indeed I'm part of the organization but it doesn't mean that I'm a mere pawns." Kuyou paused for a moment before continuing, "You'll learn more if you pass the test tomorrow."

Sasuke didn't say anything on hearing Kuyou's words. From the way Kuyou said those words, Sasuke could apprehend that the man got quite high rank in this organization.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now." After saying those words, Kuyou disappeared in a swirl of flames.


Next morning,

"We've arrived"

It was Kuyou who said that to Sasuke. At this moment, both of them were just arrived at Fairy Tale's headquarter.

Hearing Kuyou said they had already arrived, Sasuke couldn't help but frown. The building was rather small compared to the other buildings in this city of human.

Shrugging his shoulder, Sasuke followed Kuyou who had entered the small building. Two front guards bowed their head upon seeing it was Kuyou who just entered. It seemed that he wasn't lying about not being "mere pawns" last night.

Following Kuyou, Sasuke entered a small square-shaped room he had never seen before. He saw Kuyou was pressing a few buttons and the room began moving downwards.

"So its main base was hidden under the ground huh?" Sasuke thought inwardly.

A minute later, the room suddenly stopped and opened its door. Again, there were two guards who immediately bowed their head after seeing Kuyou. Following Kuyou walking through the corridors that looked like a maze, Sasuke tried to memorize the place but it was proved to be hard; even for a genius like him.

Finally they arrived in front of an elegant looking door.

Without knocking, Kuyou opened the door and enter the room, followed by Sasuke right behind him.

A short-haired blonde with tanned skin was sitting behind her desk. It seemed that she had been waiting for them to come.

"Well well, what do we have here?" The woman asked before continuing, "You know I don't like to be disturbed with unimportant things right, 3rd Subdivision Leader Kuyou?"

"I know, he wished to join Fairy Tale" Kuyou replied calmly.

"And why did you bring him here? Just make him fill the application sheet would be sufficient."

"If you're referring to the pawns application sheet, then indeed I won't bring him here Gyokuro-san"

Gyokuro turned her gaze to Sasuke for a few seconds before turning back at Kuyou and asked, "So, he is rather... special?"

Sasuke, who didn't know as to what to say just kept his mouth shut.

"He wished to join the assassination division Gyokuro-san."

"Is that so?" Gyokuro said with a mocking tone, before turning her gaze to Sasuke once again, "What is your name young man?"

"Sasuke Uchiha."

"Good, I will give you a test then, please follow me." Gyokuro said before turning her body to Kuyou and say, "You can leave now"

Without being told twice, Kuyou left the room leaving Sasuke and Gyokuro there.

After Kuyou left the room, the blonde woman stood up from her chair and opened the door behind her.

Surprisingly, there was a large room with black-colored walls behind her small office. Its floor was made of wood and from the look of it, the room was served the purpose as a training dojo or something similar. A huge amount of various weapons could be seen hanging on the wall in well-organized manner.

Once they reached the center of the room, Gyokuro said, "Stay alive for ten, no, five minutes would be enough." She ended her words with a smile, a dark and terrifying smile.

However it didn't affect Sasuke at all. He stayed calm while looking at his surrounding.

"I have to defend myself from you?" Sasuke asked Gyokuro calmly.

A giggle—

"Well, aren't you confident? But no, I won't be the one to test you." Gyokuro said before walking back to the door that lead to her office. Opening the door, she continued her words, "You'll be facing one of our assassins, I will be back in five minutes."

She shut the door behind her, leaving Sasuke alone in that room. Knowing his test has already started, Sasuke activated his sharingan.

"How long do you plan to keep yourself hidden like that?" Sasuke asked before continuing, "I know you're there from the beginning."

Suddenly a figure who was wearing pitch-black cloak emerged from under the floor three meters away from Sasuke. Under the black hood, Sasuke could see a girl face. She has pale skin, red eyes with a slit, and blackish blue hair. In a way, she was indeed beautiful.

"Impressive." The figure said coldly. "Too bad I must kill you now."

After saying that, she dashed forward in high-speed, instantly closed the distance between her and Sasuke. She stretched her hand and pierced it into Sasuke's heart with deadly precision.

Sasuke gave off a shocked expression before puffing into smoke. The figure slightly widen her eyes and immediately turned her body.

She could heard her target muttered "Chidori Senbon!" and instantly dozens needles made of lightning being thrown at her in terrifying-speed.

Being one of Fairy Tale top assassin, she didn't show a slightest hint of fear nor shocked expression seeing Sasuke's technique.

Sasuke was sure she wouldn't be able to dodge his chidori senbon thus he gave off a victory smirk. Though, his smirk immediately disappear as his technique passed through the hooded figure's body.

"So she can make her body intangible just like that man" Sasuke thought.

"Ah, I'm sorry" The girl apologized in her usual cold voice while smiling sweetly at him, "But such technique won't work against me."

She once again kicked off the floor and accelerated toward Sasuke. This time, she was moving faster than her first attack.

For a normal people, her movement wouldn't be able to trace and would make her figure disappeared from their sight; but Sasuke was different. No matter how fast she was moving, he still could follow her movement using his sharingan. Reacting accordingly, Sasuke threw another set of chidori senbon while creating a lightning katana on his right hand.

Just like before, she made her body intangible while keep closing the distance between her and Sasuke. Had predicted her movement, Sasuke sliced his katana diagonally just after his chidori senbon passed through her body.

Sasuke had thought that she would make herself intangible once again but it seemed that his prediction was wrong this time. The figure let herself to be cut by his katana while on the same time sending a hard punch onto his chest.

Received full impact of the youki-powered punch, Sasuke was sent flying across the dojo. He didn't think that the girl was actually could punch that hard. He could even felt air left his lung when he got punched. He shouldn't underestimate this girl, one of Fairy Tale's assassin.

Still flying on mid-air, Sasuke turned his body and landed on his feet several meters away from the girl.

"You survived my Youho Saishusui..." The hooded girl said as cold as ever but if one was paying close attention to, there was a hint of happiness in her tone just now.

Sasuke looked at the girl in front of him and felt slightly surprised. He was sure that his lightning katana didn't miss its target, he was even sure some blood had sprayed out when he hit her that time. However there was no sign of such injury on her body now.

"I didn't miss" Sasuke said to himself after he looked his opponent more closely. Her clothe was actually had a diagonal cut mark but her body didn't get such injury. The only explanation Sasuke could think up right now was that his opponent had already healed herself in mere seconds.

"This girl was really dangerous."

"Let's stop here." Said the girl, making Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"You are giving up even with two minutes remaining time?" Sasuke, for the first time since they met, talked to her.

The girl nodded her head before answering, "Fairy Tale will lost a potential ally if I kill you now."

Sasuke scoffed on hearing the girl's remark, "As if you could kill me within two minutes time."

The girl shrugged her shoulder while walking toward Gyokuro's room, "I can, but I won't."

Sasuke followed the girl while keeping a safe distance between them. He didn't even deactivate his sharingan as he wasn't sure if this girl was trying make him lower his guard or not. He must stay alert until the five-minute mark passed.

However his sense of alertness was unnecessary. The girl had reached the door and turned her body to face him once again. She opened her hood, revealing her beautiful smiling face and say, "My name is Akua Shuzen, welcome to Fairy Tale."

With those words said, Akua opened the door that was connected to Gyokuro's office.

A few seconds later, both Sasuke and Akua walked out of the dojo and met a slightly surprised Gyokuro.

"So you survived." Gyokuro said, "Then, I must say this to you: Welcome to Fairy Tale, Sasuke Uchiha." She gave him a satisfied smile.

Nodding his head, Sasuke couldn't wait to start his first day as Fairy Tale's assassin.
