Chapter 346: Tailed Beast Song
Chapter 346: Tailed Beast Song
Alexander spent a lot of his time teaching all the kids around him. Not just how to fight but how to think right and smart too.
The sculptor, Umar, now had enough chakra reserves to make himself some helpers to manage the orphanage.
Alexander also gave a lot of attention to little Itachi because he felt the child was broken inside. He took Itachi to many flying lessons and they talked in those times. Shisui had already learned how to fly by using the same technique they use to walk on walls but this time it was in reverse. But it took a lot of chakra release to thrust oneself into the sky so he was only able to do it for a minute.
Shisui was truly intrigued by how strong Alexander was for being able to fly like it was nothing. Eventually, Shisui also told Alexander about his Mangekyo. Alexander did some tests and told him to not use it as it was blinding him with each use.
"Okay, Itachi, concentrate now. Yes, you are reaching that point. Focus... focus..."
Soon Itachi's small body started to hover a few feet in the air but he could only maintain it for 3 seconds.
"Practice makes a man perfect. You are also very small right now and don't have enough chakra reserves" He said and handed him a glass of water.
They were currently in the jungle. There was a calming sound of rumbling leaves in the smooth wind. A distance from them, the tailed beasts had gathered and were having a meeting about who knows what. Alexander could only hear their giggles.
Itachi had gotten much better while being with him all this time. At least he had started to smile again.
"I need to get stronger fast, I don't want to disappoint father." Itachi slowly muttered.Alexander caressed his hair, "Child, you are not disappointing. You are a very talented and good child. I've seen children who live their whole life pampered and loved and still grow up to be traitors.
"You, on the other hand, are very well mannered. I am sure you will grow to be a very good man that people can look up to. Remember, Itachi, never let others dictate your life. If your father thinks you are big enough to kill then you are also big enough to make decisions for yourself. Besides, even if someday you feel like leaving everything and running away, just come to me because I always have room for more family."
"Here, take this. If you ever find yourself in a trouble you can't solve. Break this card. I will come to you in the blink of an eye. You can always count on me." He gave him a reassuring smile.
Itachi also cutely smiled. So many complex things went on in his little mind but he felt at ease after talking to Alexander. He felt that he was not just Sage of Beasts but a Sage of everything.
"Thank you, sensei. I will never forget these lessons," Itachi gratefully said.
*BAM*
Alexander softly knocked knuckles on his head, "I told you to call me grandpa or old man. I don't take students under me, I only take grandkids. You all are my grandkids."
Itachi looked at him and gave a radiating wide smile. Finally, he looked like a child.
"G-CHAAAAAN!"
Suddenly all the tailed beasts came running towards him.
"What are you goofballs up to now?" He smilingly asked.
"Hehe, we came up with a small song for our Bijuu Team. Will you hear us?" Chomei asked. He was the most hyperactive of the lot.
"Haha, sure go ahead." He permitted them.
Then, Son Goku took out a guitar from somewhere and started playing it.
As expected, Chomei was the lead singer. "Okay, it goes like this."
?We are the great tailed beasts.
We have fun every day and get many treats.
They call us mindless beasts who have committed grave sins
But they are the real beasts hiding under human skins.
So we catch the bad beasts and beat them up
Because we are the Bijuu-vengers and we have teamed up.
It is fun every day, we play and eat and sleep.
We help out G-Chan because our love is very deep.
G-Chan is our Grandpa and he is the best
He loves us because we are unlike the rest.
So we give him kisses and hugs and squishes because...?
"Repeat after me my brothers" Chomei shouted and they all started singing together.
?Kurama is a stupid Foxyyyyyy...
Kurama is a very stupid Foxyyyy...
And we are the beeeeeest... Ayyyy...?
They all dramatically stopped with a superhero team pose. Alexander couldn't help but click a few pictures. Their cuteness was off the charts. He couldn't imagine how people could enslave these goofballs.
He went ahead and made himself bigger and grabbed them all in a big group hug, "Haha, yes, you all are the best."
"Okay, let's go back now. We need to go to Kumo and free Matatabi(Two Tails) and Gyuki(Eight-Tails). Itachi, are you coming with us too?" he asked.
Itachi nodded at that. So they all first went back to Amegakure and gathered everyone around.
"Okay, my trio lieutenants, you will be administering the village behind my back. I have taught you many things but still, if trouble arises, you can always call me. Okay?" He instructed Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.
"Yes, old man." They replied together.
"Nagato, keep on doing that exercise. Just like the tailed beasts told you. Your eyes are very special and powerful. So powerful that they eat up most of your body's chakra. Which is why you are physically weak. Don't worry I will find a cure soon enough." He instructed the red-haired boy.
A while ago the tailed beasts had told him that Nagato's eyes were like the eyes of the sage of six paths. It was shocking as to how he could have these eyes.
"Yes, grandpa. Thank you for everything." Nagato gratefully thanked.
Alexander grabbed him in a hug, "Haha, what are you doing? I'm not leaving you three forever. I'll be back soon. Okay, see you later."
So, Alexander, Berry, Hats, Douglas, Shisui, Itachi, and all the tailed beasts continued on their journey.
While they were on their way, he heard Itachi asking something interesting to Shisui.
"Big brother, now that you have Mangekyo Sharingan. You should be able to read the Uchiha clan stone tablet. It supposedly holds many secrets of the world." Itachi said while recalling what his father told him about the stone tablet.
"Haha, I thought about it but it was guarded most of the time so I couldn't go in and see it. I also didn't want anyone to know about my eyes so I left it. But I do want to see what it is." Shisui muttered.
"Well, once I come to Konoha, I will look into all the Uchiha clan techniques and teach you the best ones. Also, remember not to use your Manhekyo Sharingan too much. It will make you blind. I already sensed it deteriorating the last time you used it in practice." He warned him.
"I know I know, I will wait for you to come to Konoha."
...
At the borders, Konoha and Iwa's ten thousand shinobi had surrounded the Kumogakure's forces.
A bloody battle was going on with the Third Raikage, while his sons fought to defend his rear. Killer B was using his tailed beasts powers till now but with Jiraiya and Sakumo's combined strength even a tailed beast couldn't do much damage.
Kumo's other tailed beast Matatabi wasn't there at the moment because its Jinchuriki was yet to have complete control over the transformation.
The bloody battle went on for a while before Kumo decided to retreat. But they were getting chased by the ten thousand shinobi. So, the third Raikage decided to stay behind and let others escape.
Jiraiya and Sakumo didn't participate in this assault. Killing a cornered man was not something they could agree with. They tried to call back their forces but it seemed there was someone in the ranks instigating them from stopping.
So, a deadly and mighty clash between the third Raikage and ten thousand Shinobi started.
