Chapter 418: Island of Redaku Part-1
Hmm
After listening to Kurama's tale, Minato ponders deeply.
"Since all-tailed beasts are a part of Ten-tails chakra, then what would happen if all of that chakra merged? Will Ten-tails be reborn?" He raises a question.
"No, that should not be possible. The vessel of the chakra, the body of the Ten-tails, is sealed inside the Moon. Only someone with the eyes of the Sage can lift the seal"
Kurama pauses as he speaks these words.
"Eye of the sages, as in the Rinnegan!" Everyone's expression turns grim.
"Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki, was the wielder of the Rinnegan and all these past few years, Akatsuki has been actively capturing the tailed beasts. So, does this mean?"
Everyone sucks a breath of cold air as they figure out the real objective of the Akatsuki.
"There is no way Akatsuki wants to revive the Ten-tails. If they did so, then the entire shinobi world will be doomed from Kurama's description." Tsunade refuses to believe the speculation.
"The Akatsuki always aimed to recreate a new world by destroying the five nations. If they revive the Ten-tails, then that dream will become reality." Minato continues.
"So, it's not far-fetched to say that Akatsuki is closer to their scheme." Mei voices her thoughts.
"No, we still have a chance!" Minato shakes his head.
"The Nine-tails is still with us. If we protect Naruto from the clutches of Akatsuki, then the Ten-tails won't revive." Everyone turns their attention to Naruto.
"However, the Akatsuki has been very aggressive these past few days to capture Naruto. First, it was the attack on the village. If not for our preparations and the barrier around the village; Akatsuki might have succeeded in capturing the Nine-tails. And now their second attempt, it was almost a success if not for Ayaka's interference."
A chill ran down everyone's spine.
"At this rate, they might end up capturing the Nine-tails in their third attempt. We must do something about this."
"Hey, Kurama! This ten-tails sound strong. How much stronger is he compared to you?" Unable to hold his curiosity, Naruto asks Kurama.
"Hmm extremely strong. Much, much stronger than me, the ten-tails is so strong that I can't even hold a candle to it. Ten-tails is the amalgamation of this world's entire chakra. So, you can only imagine how strong could it be.
The Sage of Six Paths was the jinchuruki of the Ten-tails. He was able to achieve feats only a God could achieve." Kurama points toward the Moon.
"He created the Moon to seal the body of the Ten-tails. Other than this, the Sage of Six Paths also repelled invasions from multiple God-like beings from other worlds. So, his power is something we could only imagine of." Kurama shakes his head and sighs.
"The current shinobi world doesn't stand a chance against a resurrected Ten-tails. Although, if that brat Izuna was here, then taking down the Ten-tails won't be a difficulty with his level of power." Kurama praises Izuna's prowess.
"What? Izuna Nii-san was so incredible." Everyone's eyes widen in surprise.
Till now, they were aware of Izuna's powers. They knew that he was the strongest shinobi in the entire world. But they didn't know the heights and limits of his power. So, being judged on the same level of power as the Sage of Six Paths, opened their eyes.
"Sigh where are you, Izuna? If only you were here, then I won't have to deal with all this mess. I might even be enjoying myself in a hot spring." Tsunade sighs.
A wary smile appears on everyone's face, but they share the same sentiment as her.
"Let's go in! Mei, Kakashi, Izumi, Sakura, Hanabi, Yakumo, Ao, and Chojuro will stay here. Tsunade-sama, Naruto, Sasuke, and Ayaka will follow me inside the barrier."
Minato leads the way.
"This is incredible!" Tsunade touches the barrier with her hands. Her hand. phases through the barrier.
Mei also attempts to touch the barrier, but her hand gets repelled by the barrier.
"As I speculated, only someone with a mastery of Sage Art can cross the barrier. Rest of you, please wait here!"
Whoosh
One by one, the group enters the barrier and disappears from the vision of the rest of the people.
"I hope they won't encounter any danger." Mei and the rest pray for their safety.
Swoosh
As soon as Minato and the rest pass through the barrier, their surroundings change noticeably. The clear sky changes to a sky covered with black clouds and thunderstorms.
Sasuke summons Garuda and everyone hops on its back.
"Hmm the atmosphere here is certainly the same as I remember." Kurama nods his head.
"There are few changes in the terrain, but the rest is the same."
"What do you mean by a change of terrain? As far as my eye can see, there is water in my vision." Naruto stares at the sea in bewilderment.
"Hmm there are a few small islands in the distance." Sasuke narrows his Sharingan.
"Of course, that's how it is. The Land of Redaku or the other half of the world is mostly composed of water bodies. There are only a few scattered islands here and there. The mainland of Redaku is a small continent with multiple mountain ranges located in it.
The culture of Redaku is vastly different from the shinobi world. The people of Redaku are self-sufficient and there are rarely any wars for territories. Although, a few disputes between factions will be present here and there. They aren't that much serious since these people don't have charka to battle against each other."
"It must be tough to live without chakra. I can't even imagine a life without chakra." Naruto shakes his head.
"Although chakra makes over life convenient, it isn't an essential part of our life. Multiple people in the shinobi world live without chakra." Minato disagrees with Naruto.
"Having no chakra doesn't mean these people can't protect themselves. They have multiple ways to defend against threats from the sea. Remember, I told you about all those powerful sea monsters?"
"Of course, the Kraken, the Leviathan, Charybdis, and other powerful sea monsters, right?!"
"Yes, as I told you before, these monsters are locked in this part of the world as prisoners and the barrier you people crossed is the prison holding them back.
Although these monsters don't surface and sleep deep within the sea; their offspring regularly come to the surface to wreak havoc."
"You mean the baby Kraken we fought earlier?" Naruto recalls the battle against the Kraken.
"That thing was unkillable, like a cockroach! And you mean to say that such monsters are a common sight here?" An incredulous expression appears on Naruto's face.
"Then these people stand no chance against them!" Sasuke and Ayaka shake their head.
"No, these people have developed special weapons to repel them," Kurama answers them.
"Soon you will see for yourself!"
Whoosh
The group flies for another hour while searching for land with people. Multiple gigantic sea creatures are surfacing from time to time underneath them.
Garuda has to increase his altitude to avoid attacks from them. A gigantic eel-type monster even fired a beam of energy powerful enough to split the clouds.
The group barely dodged the attack. After eating a Rasenshuriken from Naruto, the eel fled and didn't chase after them.
"Hmm I can see a few islands with structures on them." Sasuke scouts the area with his Sharingan.
"Then let's go and meet with these people."
Swoosh
Garuda flaps its wings and increases its speed with a burst of wind chakra.
Soon, a donut-shaped island appears in their vision. There are multiple stone structures and buildings on the island.
"I can spot a few guards patrolling the island. They are holding a weird spear-like weapon." Sasuke continues to scout the area.
-------------------
On Donut Island,
Yawn
A few guards yawn as they patrol the beach. The guards are donning black clothes, armor, and a spear-like weapon. There is a Trinity Celtic knot symbol on their protective gears.
Suddenly, a blaring sound goes off on the island.
"Alert! There is a hostile creature in the sky. Prepare to attack them."
The voice of the commander echoes in their communication gear.
"Intruder from the sky!"
One of the guards takes out a binocular and scouts in the sky. He notices a gigantic eagle-like creature aggressively flying toward the island.
"That must be the hostile flying creature. Prepare to attack it!"
The captain of the patrol team signals his team.
"Yes, captain!"
The patrol guard points their spear towards the sky.
Fwoosh
The tip of the spear glows with a blue hue. After charging for a while, the spear unleashes a beam of energy toward the sky.
-------------------------
Back on the Garuda's top.
Hm
Sasuke frowns as he notices the weird energy on the tip of the spears.
Swoosh
The guards fire the energy projectile in their direction.
"Everyone, brace yourself. We are being attacked by the dwellers of the island." Sasuke warns them.
Whoosh whoosh
Garuda swiftly maneuvers through multiple beams of energy.
"They are treating us as enemies. Should we counterattack?" Naruto pumps his fists.
"No, it could be a misunderstanding too! We don't want an unnecessary fight to break out with our only source of information." Minato shakes his head.
"For now, look for an opportunity to land on the island. We might be able to communicate with them." Minato instructs Sasuke.
"Very well!"
Sasuke pats Garuda's back.
Scree
The Garuda releases a scream and increases its speed by another notch.
Swoosh
With a burst of speed, it quickly disappears from the vision of the island dwellers.
"We lost the target. Looks like it fled from our attacks." The captain signals his subordinates to stop their attacks.
"Strange! There have never been reports of a flying-type aggressive monster in this part of the sea." The commander in the control room frowns.
