Sage Power

Clutching my head, fearing that it would split from pain, I rolled silently on the grass. Only after a couple of minutes, the pain began to pass and in the end, there were only echoes and a feeling of coldness.

Catching my breath, I got up and looked angrily at the sparrow, who called himself back, taking me with him to his dimension.

"Well, well, don't look like that boy, since you deserve to conclude a contract with us, consider that you have already signed it, you will meet with my father, you only need to climb that mountain. Well, if you cannot climb, then so be one of us we will come down to you and sign the contract. Then he will send us home. " - said the chibi and nodded cute beak behind me.

Looking back, I saw a giant mountain that had no end and hid in the clouds. Angry with this little asshole, I began to demand an explanation from him.

"Who are you, and why did you appear instead of the eagle?"

The sparrow snapped his beak contemptuously and raised his head high.

"We will wait for you at the top of the mountain, if you refuse to get to the mountain, then you will be returned home immediately, do not be afraid, kid," he said, jumping up, and suddenly lightning ran through his body, the body in a matter of seconds increased its height taller than me and silently and without creating a wind, it flew up and disappeared.

Opening my mouth, I watched him disappear in a flash into the clouds.

After reflecting on his words, I realized that this is another test. But since I will conclude a contract with one of the eagles anyway, it confused me. Although remembering that Naruto could summon frogs depending on how much chakra he used, I also wanted to. Who knows, maybe there will be a chance.

One more thing. These eagles screwed up. Did they think I was a six-year-old boy with just a strong will?

With my strong body and an abundance of chakra, I calmly climbed the mountain without any problems. Either finding along the path, then calmly climbing vertically. Already when I reached the clouds, it became harder to breathe and the chakras became more chaotic. Having emptied the chakra almost halfway, I slowly but surely reached the top. Finally, I overcame the clouds and, accustomed to the thin air of oxygen, looked up and was horrified.

Another high mountain and again behind the clouds.

Disappointment slipped through my eyes as I knew that I could not go on. But I did not give up and decided to try again. Approaching the mountain, I jumped and grabbed the nearest ledge. Suddenly a hand passed through the ledge and a second later the whole body slipped over the mountain. Frightened, I started waving my arms trying to grab onto something.

Suddenly I was caught and lowered to the ground.

"Your will is strong as my child said." - A quiet voice sounded. The noise of voices was heard all around. Everything was spinning in my eyes and I could not see who was talking to me. I closed my eyes for a while.

"Hello, my name is Renjiro Uchiha, who are you and why would I climb the mountain? If you already agreed to sign a contract." I asked.

"My name is Bernard. Very simply. My son Wansai determined that you are a small but daring child with great potential and a pure heart. Only people like you are allowed to step up to our mountain and become a sage. But the rest of my children were not convinced, that's why you have to take the test. "

I nodded my head, glad that I decided not to give up this business and just sign the contract. What about a pure heart? three hahaha. Obito may be a pawn, but I'll have some more fun with him. If I remember correctly Rin is buried in the Konoha cemetery?

"Even though you used some methods to climb the mountain, you did it nonetheless. So you have a week to try and learn the basics of natural energy."

- he said and fell silent as if expecting something.

Even though I knew about Sage Mode from the manga, I still asked him what it was - "Old man, what is a sage and what is natural energy?"

"Ho ho this is you and my son find out later. Wansai and Asami."

"Yes, father" - two voices answered. Finally, opening my eyes, I noticed that I began to see everything very clearly. In front of me lay a GIANT EAGLE on a giant stone. Although it can not even be called an eagle. Frightened, I remembered one movie about the universe of monsters. Just think that there are a lot of such Godzillas in this world... And if they all decide to go crazy, then all the ninja will go to the grave together. Turning my head to the right, I saw the same eagle that dragged me here and threw me near the mountain. To the right of him stood another white eagle of his height, probably it was Asami.

Godzil... The Eagle continued: "Take him to one of the picks and teach him everything he needs to know. In a week, bring him to me. Until then, I'll take a nap. ZzzZZZZzz."

I think the Nara clan would give their souls for this secret technique of falling asleep instantly.

"Let's go," Asami said, and grabbing me gently with her claws so as not to injure her, she flew after Wansai.

I still did not know what awaited me, and if I knew, I would shiver like aspen surrounded by lumberjacks.

On the first day, they explained what natural energy is. There was nothing that I didn't know, but when I reached an increase in concentration, they covered me with a copper basin. I was placed in a large area on the mountain. flying as if invisible, they sent strong shock waves. And if I miss one I fly. FROM THE MOUNTAIN. Even if they caught me in the last seconds, this feeling of serenity and hopelessness scared me every time.

All this time of torture, I tried to feel that very energy. I succeeded only on the third day, but when I was glad, I caught a wave of air in my face and again fell from the mountain.

1 week later

I stood in front of a giant eagle that looked at me with one eye appraisingly.

"I see you managed to feel it and even learn to mix it with your chakra. But you couldn't find a balance. Yeah, it's a difficult decision, though." - After thinking a little more, he continued. - "Since where you live there is also the energy of nature, albeit in a small amount, then train yourself. But always with someone, as you know the results if you mix the chakra incorrectly."

I nodded, remembering how when I was glad that I could absorb the energy and looked after in the mirror I looked like the Bird Personality from Rick and Morty. Only after expelling the energy did the body come back.

"That's all," said Father Eagle. Everyone called him that, and when I asked what his name was, he said that he had forgotten his name for a long time. - "The contract is signed, call us at any time but never break the rules. Also, when you want to continue studying with us, ask one of my children to transfer you here."

By the way, they had rules. More precisely two. If the Eagles need help you will come. Never betray them. If you break one of the rules, then you are their enemy and they will not rest until there is dust left of you.

As birds capable of chakra, I have seen them use wind, lightning, fire. Straight Avatars of some kind.

Bowing and saying goodbye, I nodded to Wansai. As a small bird, he flew over on his shoulder and everything went dark again. During this week, I made friends with them and they were no longer so arrogant. As it turned out, they were very fond of talking on any topic. How delicious it is to roast animals with lightning, or what desert worms taste like. When he pulled one, I fell on my butt. This "Worm" was 6 meters long, like from some kind of horror movie. I had to eat what they give. The hunger was terrible and there was no other food.

But this time there was no dizziness and I just fell to the ground.

"At the moment when I took you away from here, I put a mark here and called myself to it." - Explained the sparrow while I got up and looked around.

I was in the same place where I left Itachi. During that time, I was worried about my new family, how worried they would be.

Now I don't need that scroll, fortunately, since the scroll with the contract is from the eagles and I can summon it through the summoning technique.

"In general, here you are and summon me if you need me" - having said this, he disappeared into a white cloud of smoke.

I ran to the side of the house thinking how to explain my disappearance for a week.

Already on the threshold, I went into the house and said loudly: "I'm home!"

There was silence and no response. It was already late evening and everyone should be at home. Going out into the street, I saw that all the neighboring houses had their lights turned off.

What did I miss while I was away?
