10 The Sage who rules the sky (1/2)
Naruto was gobsmacked as he circled around the three eggs. Looking around he found that he was on a birds nest that was circular in size with around 40 meters in diameter. Three closely packed eggs lying at the center with him walking around them suspiciously.
As Naruto went forward to touch the egg, a giant shadow formed on top of him as a violent gale shook his hairs. All the hairs on Naruto stood up as he found a dangerous presence behind him.
”Oh, never thought I'd be seeing a human again. What more impressive is that he managed to reach my nest without me knowing. Hmm. Human! Care to give this sage an answer on why I should let you live for touching my precious babies” An authoritative voice came from Naruto's back as he slowly turned to face his doom.
Naruto was truly scared at the moment as the pressure he was subjected to was immense. It was comparable to Kurama's but he was mentally prepared to face Kurama so it never bothered him much. The pressure from the creature behind held the killing intent and it was not joking when he asked for a reason to let him live.
Turning around Naruto saw a majestic Golden Eagle standing at 30 meters tall. The feathers at the end of its wings looked like razor blades and its claws looked like it was made of gold capable of crushing any metal and in his case a human skull.
”I...I...I was trying summoning jutsu and somehow managed to end up here. I am sorry to disturb your younglings. I hope you'll show some mercy on this insignificant soul.” Naruto was stuttering at first but managed to calm down his raging heartbeats. He bowed down showing respect and moved a few steps away from the eggs.
Naruto didn't raise his head and waited to for the great Eagle for the reply. His mind racing about how to escape but another giant pressure came down on him. This time another giant Eagle landed beside the golden one. It's feathers all white and graceful and while looking at it 'beautiful' was the only word that came to Naruto's mind.
”Stop bullying the kid Gorudo.” The White Eagle said in a mature feminine voice as she used her wings to smack the head of the Golden Eagle. ”Its been centuries since a human came to this place. Don't be rude to our little guest.” The White Eagle said while sizing up Naruto from top to bottom.
”Human child don't mind him. He can be over-protective at times but has a soft heart. Why don't you introduce yourself and the goal of your visit first.” The White Eagle said as she sat down on her eggs covering them with her feathers. The Golden Eagle was still vigilant and kept a strict eye on Naruto and refused to sit down.
”Ah, ok. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm a shinobi from Konoha village and I tried to reverse summon myself through the contract of my messenger Eagle out of curiosity. I was eager to find where they come from and that is how I ended up here.” Naruto decided to mix a few lies in his answer and trying to make it seem like he was a child doing harmless tricks.
It was best not to reveal his true intentions which were to look for a combat summons proficient in sage arts. Looking at their size Naruto was drolling as he dreamed of being able to summon them and he wouldn't mind even if they were not a sage. But there was a high chance that both of them were a sage.
”Reverse Summoning to explore your summoned beast world. I see your curiosity is too big for your own good kid. Unless your contract beast allows it, you could end up in a different place than the one you were hoping to go and low-level beast can't make such decisions. You're quite lucky to have ended up here.” The Golden Eagle said with a snort.
”My summon was only a little eagle so I didn't think it would be dangerous. Hehe” Naruto scratched his head as he gave out a helpless smile. His decision to reverse summoning had its consequences but he ignored it after remembering Jiraiya had done the same and ended up in the Mount Myoboku.
”Hmph, why don't you try to reverse summon yourself out to your world and you'll understand.” The Golden Eagle said again with a smirk.
Naruto thought the Golden Eagle was trying to send him away but he tried it anyway. Since he reversed the hand signs to get to this world so he did the summoning technique according to the contract but a small eagle appeared in front of him. He didn't manage to summon himself back to his world. Naruto again performed the reverse-summoning technique but nothing happened. Sweat started to appear on Naruto's head as he looked towards the giant eagle for help.
