The Crafter and The Slug

I'm not good at starting stories, or even writing them. This is my third attempt at writing and the longest so far. I'm trying to keep to a two-a-day release schedule. From what I've been told the story picks up after Ch. 16, but he doesn't get very bad*ss until around Ch. 19 Discord: https://discord.gg/Eph2esQ

--Zach POV--

After I got kindly kicked out of the meeting I grumbled a bit in the hall. The accusations of the Uchihas put me on a short trigger and I didn't care what they thought. It also frustrated me that their thoughts are not unfounded either, the world I was in was not all rainbows, butterflies, and kicking ass. With a sigh, I decided I should make myself useful and made my way over to the Wondering Inn.

When I walked in I saw Dionysus behind the bar cleaning an empty glass and Hephaestus the sole occupant at the bar. With a wave to them I made my way over and sat down next to Heph, Dionysus already had a whiskey and coke waiting for me there. After taking a sip of it I moaned in delight at the perfectly mixed drink.

Dionysus: "What brings you here today Zach?"

Zach: "Don't act like you don't know."

Heph laughed at that and patted my back.

Heph: "Don't worry, all the mortal women that mothered my kids wanted a safe environment to raise them."

Zach: "Well then what did you do about it?"

Heph grimaced at that.

Heph: "I wasn't as kind back then and just left them to their fates."

Dionysus: "Yeah, none of us were that kind or responsible…"

I facepalmed at that and realized I had been doing that a lot lately.

Zach: "That's why I don't ask ya'll for too much advice."

We all got a laugh at that and raised our glasses to it.

Zach: "But really, any chance we can relocate to Marvel?"

Dio: "That wouldn't be our call. It's not our world that we created."

My mood sunk at that and I swirled my whiskey and coke in the glass trying to figure out what to do. Then a sultry voice came from right next to me.

Hecate: "Well hello Zach."

Zach: "You have any ideas on this, Hecate?"

Hecate: "Ara ara ara. You boys didn't tell him?"

I looked at her with a funny look and then ran it over Heph and Dio who sleeplessly looked busy doing anything that wasn't being a part of the conversation. Looking back at Hecate she had a mischievous grin on her face.

Hecate: "Well, since Tsunade is wanting to relocate I think it might be time to cash in my favor."

Zach: "You know how much I despise Harry Potter, do you really have to do it at a time like this?"

I pleaded with her. She just laughed at me for a good minute, and all I could do was take it.

Hecate: "I knew this day would come, so I did some trading around with the Gods."

She had a full-blown evil grin on her face and my stomach dropped.

Zach: "No, please tell me you didn't."

Hecate stood up on top of the bar and faced me with a hand cocked on her hip and the other out in a peace sign.

Hecate: "You're looking at the owner of MCUl/HP crossover world!"

The other two Gods lost their shit and started laughing uncontrollably. My face was in despair as I didn't want to break it to Tsunade that the world she wants is run by the Goddess she dislikes the most. With a sigh, I could only accept my fate and start changing my plans I had originally thought up.

Heph: "So what do you plan to do in that world? Be heroes?"

I shook my head no to that.

Zach: "My dream would be ambitious and rely on ya'll a bit. I'd have done a bar in New York that was 3/4 bar and a window that looked into a smithing workshop. Then use ninjas from Naruto as our staff, so the customers who get a show sometimes when they drink."

Dio: "Nice! It would be original and create a lot of buzz. I'd help you with that and supply you the space and alcohol."

Heph: "I'd hook you up with the shop and furnishings for the bar!"

Hecate: "Well, I could help out but that would mean another favor."

Hecate had her sultry voice on again. I just stared at her and shook my head at her antics.

Zach: "It depends, if it's anything to betray Tsunade's trust in me then no."

Hecate: "No, no, no. It's something that would be beneficial to her, you, and your kids."

I looked at her skeptically.

Hecate: "Don't give me that look. I've already concluded I can't have you. That was part of the reason I traded for the MCU, Loki is such a babe in it."

When she said Loki was such a babe, I was mid-drink and that caused me to spit the delicious goodness out. After a bit of sputtering, Hecate continued.

Hecate: "No, I want your kids to attend Hogwarts with the Golden Trio."

I gave her a hard look at that request.

Zach: "There are multiple problems with that, the time frame doesn't match up. Not to mention you're asking us to send our kids who aren't even wizards to a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry. On top of that send them to said school at its peak in-efficiency and the most dangerous time. What in your right mind makes you think I'd agree to that?"

Hecate tapped her chin with her finger in thought.

Hecate: "Well consider these children are going to be practically Demi-Gods with their powers. Your body is filled with divine essence, and you've been pumping that into Tsunade every chance you two can get, I swear you two are rabbits sometimes. Not to mention Aphrodite blessed the two of them in Tsunade's womb. You'll have a school that they can go to that can teach them to harness their powers, plus it gets them out of your hair for a couple of months at a time. On top of that, I am the Goddess of Magic. As for the timeline, I'll have to do a hard reboot on the universes to combine them, and as I said before I'm a Goddess."

Zach: "We're not fighting Voldemort or deal with any of the Wizarding world's shittyness."

Hecate: "I'm not asking you to, I think it will be amusing enough having you all there. So here is my offer officially. I will have another bar adjoined to the opposite side of your forge, each side can look in but they can't see the other. My side will be located in London, I'll set up a door in the back that would connect to this Universe so that way you and your staff are not stranded in that universe. In return, you make your permanent residence in my Universe, and your children will join Hogwarts along with the Golden Trio."

I sat there for a second thinking.

Zach: "Can I talk to Tsunade about this?"

Hecate let out a sinister grin.

Hecate: "Nope, if you go ask her I'll add the condition I will be added to the relationship. I'll also be reading your minds in order to find the next world you choose and snag that. Then I'd apply the same condition."

I just stared at her in shock. I almost had forgotten that Gods were fucking crazy, and this is full-on yandere and not the good kind.

Zach: "Fine, we'll take it as long as we are not forced to do anything we don't want to."

Hecate clapped at that and smiled.

Hecate: "Good, pleasure doing business with you."

She then disappeared and I was left with Heph and Dio that looked at me in pity. Dio had brought me a tall glass of whiskey and coke and I was grateful for it.

Dio: "What are you going to name the place?"

He caught me mid-chug. When I was done with the glass I placed it down and gave him a weak smile.

Zach: "I think I'll call it Mi Bar and Forge. So when people walk in I can say 'Welcome to Mi Bar!' has a fun ring to it."

Heph laughed at that, and me and Dio joined in with him.

Heph: "We're invited right?"

I patted Heph's back.

Zach: "You're almost always welcome! Just not when we're closed and I'm 'teaching' Tsunade lessons behind the bar!"

We all got a chuckle at that. We all then started to chat for the rest of the days about the plans I had and Dio was giving me advice about owning a bar. As dinner time got closer I bid the two farewell and made my way home to start making something good. By the time I got home, I had narrowed down dinner to enchiladas with rice and beans, or chicken parmesan and garlic rolls.

When I got to the kitchen I had decided on the enchiladas due to the ease of making multiples at the same time. I took out all the needed ingredients and got started on it. Kayla arrived midway through and started to help complete the big order, I had made enough in case the Uchihas wanted something to eat. When the kids came running in because they smelled food being cooked I had them run and set up the big dining room for everyone to eat.

As I was putting the finishing touches on dinner Tsunade and the Uchihas came into the kitchen. I walked over to Tsunade and wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her to my side then bent down and kissed her. When I was done with my quick kiss I looked at the trio that she arrived with.

Zach: "Sorry about earlier, my patience has been a bit short lately."

Itachi: "I should be the one thanking you. You have done so much for us, I don't know how we'll ever be able to repay you."

Zach: "I might have an idea, but we'll talk about it at dinner. The kids are in the dining room setting it up, so if ya'll would please make your way to it and find a spot."

They just nodded their head and made their way to the dining room. I motioned for Kayla to join them so that me and Tsunade could be alone.

Zach: "So…"

Tsunade stared at me with a frown.

Tsunade: "You're about to say something that will piss me off.

I just nodded to her sheepishly, and she sighed.

Tsunade: "Tell me."

Zach: "Well, the Gods are on board with us relocating to MCU…"

Tsunade: "But…"

Zach: "Hecate traded for the universe and is combining it with Harry Potter."

Tsunade: "THAT BITCH! WAIT TELL HERA HEARS ABOUT THIS, I'M GOING TO PRAY TO HER TONIGHT!"

I put my hands up to placate her.

Zach: "Woah, Woah, I made a deal with her."

Tsunade directed all the killing intent she could muster at me. Sweat started to run rivers down my back.

Zach: "She is going to stop pursuing me, but our kids will have to go to Hogwarts."

She looked at me like I had grown another head at agreeing to that. But then she thought about it.

Tsunade: "That actually might be a smart idea, it would give them an outlet for their powers and keep them fairly secure…"

Now I looked at her like she grew another head. Then I heard someone speak in my mind, "I'm a mother too you know." and shivered at that. I then proceeded to give her the rundown on what I had agreed too and her eyes twinkled like stars in her eyes at that. Tsunade was so excited to share the good news with everyone she grabbed as many bowls of beans and rice she could out of the kitchen and to the dining room. I shook my head at that and brought the batches of enchiladas behind her.

After everyone had finished with dinner and were sitting there in a food coma, I decided to broach the subject of our relocation.

Zach: "So, I want everyone to listen to what we have to say before speaking."

Everyone at the table nodded at that.

Zach: "Me and Tsunade will be leaving this world-"

Before I could continue everyone started shouting. It took Tsunade yelling at them in her Hokage voice to finally quiet down.

Zach: "Now, we will be living in a different world. But the Gods have agreed to keep a door in Wondering Inn that will connect to our Bar in the new world. Now, we plan on having ninjas who are either retired or don't want to be ninjas anymore as workers. We will be extending this to you first, then recruiting from the general ninjas."

Everyone was quiet at that, Itachi was the first one to speak up.

Itachi: "Who will be Hokage if Tsunade is leaving?"

Before I could answer that someone else did.

Naruto: "I'M GOING TO BE HOKAGE! I'LL DO A BETTER JOB THEN THIS OLD HAG!"

Everyone stared at Naruto in pity, everyone except Tsunade. Faster than I've seen her move in month's Naruto was drug out of the room towards the training field. After we pressed F to pay respects for the idiot I answered the question.

Zach: "Well with Kisame Hoshigaki in our custody, I'll use him to reincarnate Kushina."

The ones in the know nodded their heads, but Mikoto, Itachi, and Shisui had a confused look.

Mikoto: "I'm all fine with that, but why Kushina and not Minato?"

Jiraiya: "Because half of Minato's soul is trapped by the Shinigami, along with the Yin half of the 9 tails. So piecing what we know together, he's going to resurrect Kushina in order to help him reach the Shinigami mask."

I pointed at Jiraiya and then booped myself on the nose, letting him know he got it right on the nose.

Zach: "Then I'll probably seal the Yin half Kurama into Kushina since that much power in Naruto wouldn't be good."

Everyone grimaced at that and I chuckled, he has come a long way with the Beyblades. All it took was something to captivate his attention and make tedious training fun.

Zach: "So, everyone think about what you want to do. We'll have some time for you to think about it."

With that everyone went their own way. Uchihas went back to their compound, Kayla and Karin probably went off to watch Vampire Diaries. Jiraiya and Shizune most likely went to the guest house, while Nawaki just followed me out to where Naruto and his sister were.

We came to a scene of Naruto sweating bullets, and all around there were crates from what I could imagine Tsunade's fists and kicks. Nawaki's eyes were wide as saucers, come to think of it I don't think he's ever seen her as strong as she is now. I knelt down and put my arm around him.

Zach: "This is why we never want to piss off your sister."

Nawaki nodded his head in shock, and we just watched the "training" session continue.

(A/N: Yo yo, so I need names and houses for the two kids. I'm thinking 2 boys, but I am also consider a boy and girl. Let me know what ya'll think. I'm getting tired of Naruto since I'm not really confident in my knowledge of it. Marvel comics + cinematic I'm WAY more comfortable and knowledgeable with. So far just in shooting out ideas with the Discord crew I'm feeling more confident and excited for the arc.)
