57 Koryu Mountain (1/2)
Kibo was flying across the land of Fire in his Scorch Release Ship and heading towards the out skirts of the region; it had been more than a month since Kibo left Konohagakure; he had walked across the vast world experiencing the dangers of traveling alone. Kibo was attacked by several bandits, Chakra Beasts, and several dropout Shinobis. Whenever he would spot a town or village he would stop the sight see, often getting himself into trouble with bad guys.
Kibo tried his hardest to do anything to get his mind off of Karin, so he ended up helping many people along the way, earning a nick name from the people of the Land of Fire, they called him 'Saint Shinobi.” he laughed at the name they gave as he continued on his way. Kibo was heading towards Ryuchi Cave, when he suddenly felt the fire and wind Chakra inside his construct began to flux rapidly, as if he had entered into a Chakra absorption array; it wasn't enough that any Shinobi would notice; because it felt like he only lost a tiny fraction of the energy; in fact he was able to gain more Chakra naturally than he would lose.
The surprise of it all made him stop and jump down on top of a nearby cliff side; he looked over the horizon and saw a single massive extinct volcano, which for some reason still had lava in it. There was a large river running in a circle around the entire scenery, in the distant hill sides a rich scent of healthy earthy plant life rose from the grounds, and near the outskirts of the region there was a highland surrounded by cloud covered skies, where powerful lightning strikes could be heard echoing throughout the lands.
Kibo thought hard and barely managed to recognize what this place was as he shouted ”No way! Mount. Koryu!” Ancient Flow Mountain was a much unknown part of the Narutoverse; it was the home of 5 very powerful Genryū Dragons, Hiryu the Fire Dragon, Mizuryu the Water Dragon, Kazeryu the Wind Dragon, Rairyu the Lightning Dragon, and Chiryu the Earth Dragon.
Kibo sent out a few clones to start looking for the seal marks for the Array, he was curious because he wanted to study and find out if this was the Land of Dragons that Gamma was speaking about, at first he thought it was talking about Ryuchi Cave but now he wasn't so sure anymore. ”Could the land of wanna be dragons, that were actually serpents be called the Land of Dragons? I have to admit that meeting the white serpent threw me off.” Kibo thought as he took off flying.
Thanks to his improved vision Kibo looked around noticing that although it was a few hundred miles or so from his location, he could still see Hokage Monument, if a normal person tried to see them from such a distance all they could make out was an oblong shaped hillside. After nodding his head he began searching the large region for an entrance to the dragon temple, when he stumbled upon a small village that had been built up out of stone and straw. It looked like there were no more than 30 houses, leaving around 120-150 people living in them; depending on how big each family was.
Activating his Tengan he noticed that these people all had horn like protrusions forming from the tops of their skulls; they had incredible levels of Chakra no worse than the Senju, and possessed mighty physiques. Kibo's eyes darted across the village until they found what he was looking for; a small boy holding a large dragon scroll was sitting with his sister and parents while studying it with great intent.
Kibo smiled as he landed in the center of the village scaring many of the Ryu Clan's people; he tried to explain himself but they closed their doors and windows to his pleas; Kibo sighed as he noticed a tall starving man approach him. He was around six feet and five inches, tall and looked like he used to be a mighty warrior, his bones could barely be seen underneath his darken tan skin. On his face were to small claw shaped green markings, and his eyes were deep red and glowed like rubies.
Two small blue horns jutted out from him head and his vibrant aqua colored hair; he was wearing a large blue tattered and unkempt open chest over-coat that was covered in talismans. At his waist was single purple band that held a small Kunai shaped sword that had a large circular impression at the top of its dragon scaled hilt, the pommel was in the shape of a diamond with a long red braided tassel running through it; Kibo knew it as the Dragon Blade; Ryūjin. He wore long baggy grey pants and black and blue boot type sandals.
Kibo smiled as he walked up to the man and held out his hand before saying ”Hi my name is Kibo.”
The man looked at Kibo with suspicion when he said ”Why have you come here Shinobi?” Kibo sighed as he dropped his hand and said ”I mean you no harm, I am a wayward Cultivator not a ninja.”
”Cultivator?” The man said in a puzzled tone.
Kibo nodded his head and then asked ”Why are your villagers so starved? Is there not meat to hunt?”
The man showed a dower expression as he explained ”The Shinobi alliance of a long time ago banished our people from their lands; we were forced onto this land where no one dares traverse. The animals in this place have long abandoned their habitats; because of the Mugonhei; soulless puppets of the Genryū. They kill anything that isn't related to our clan, only the birds remain.”
Kibo sighed and said ”Will my presence here draw these Mugonhei to my location?”
