A few minutes back. The real Chris POV
It looked like I had been in a daze for several minutes while my blood puppet was filling me in with the new information.
To think that such a thing would happen right after I left. But, I still had to find ways to get stronger.
I am still in the Akatsuki hideout. Black zetsu kept pestering me about anything related to Fan Uchiha.
Pain’s condition got slightly better, as he could finally stand on his feet with the support of Konan on his side.
From the looks of things, I doubt that this is the place for me to get stronger. I was hoping for them to know something useful for me, but I expected too much of them.
I thought that maybe the place my other blood puppet had found in the mountains, might somehow be useful to me.
For some reason, it seems that I have lost all communications from him. I can only wait as he summons a shadow clone, then re-summon it again so I can also share his memories.
Maybe I should return back to the leaf, and I should bring Naruto and the others to that weird place. And I can also exterminate the entire Solkvore clan.
Now that I think about it, does it mean that Karen and the other Solkvore members are related. I mean, she is the princess of the Solkvore clan, but why is she with Itachi?
I bet that she ran away from the kingdom, because they were gonna force her to marry someone she didn’t like, or because she decided to run away with Itachi.
That’s exactly what I thought as well.
As I was about to leave this boring place, Al appeared out of nowhere in front of me. I placed a seal on his body so I can teleport him to me, and the other way works as well. If he wants to, he can teleport here any time he wants.
Al looked confused and scared the moment he appeared.
“Chris! Please help! The entire place is collapsing!” (Al) pleaded.
I could tell by his exaggerated body movements what something is not right.
“What do you mean?” (Chris)
I ignored the others stare at Al. They all were wondering why he is here.
“Tori no Kuni is under attack, and the entire place is falling.” (Al) couldn’t take it any longer. He put his little bird claws on my hip, then activated a teleportation seal to his home. He didn’t even give me a chance to say anything.
Itachi didn’t really care about the land of birds, as he had problems on his own. Old crow is someone that doesn’t like to seek the help the others, that is why Itachi hasn’t heard from him. It’s the same for all the other crows as well.
Everybody looked a few seconds at the last place I was standing. I just literally disappeared right under their noses in a flash. They had no idea what to say.
Konan, however, howled at Itachi.
“Itachi, find that brat at all costs and bring him here!” (Konan)
They never expected someone under their noses to escape like that. And she needed him here to cure Pain from his current condition.
“...” (Itachi) had a big frown. He didn't hear Konan one bit, because he was busy preoccupied with something else.
“Itachi!” (Konan) seeing Itachi daydreaming, she got a bit pissed.
“Hm! What?” (Itachi) asked.
“Bring the brat here.” (Konan)
Itachi looked at the spot where I disappeared. He shook his head slightly because he thought that Chris just escaped. Only someone very bold would escape from the Akatsuki like that.
Itachi didn't say anything. He took off his Akatsuki ring and his Akatsuki robe as well. He was still wearing some simple clothes underneath.
“I quit!” (Itachi) then he flung of his Akatsuki costume to them.
Before they could even say anything, Itachi used his rinnegan powers on them and the entire building as well. This made them immobile, and it brought most of the building down.
He was just shadow clone, meaning that he couldn't do that much damage as he hoped.
Pain summoned his other six paths to stop Itachi. Before they could make a move on him, Itachi poofed out of the place, he was just a shadow clone to begin with.
They were the only members on that building, the rest are doing missions or something.
They never expected Itachi to revolt like that. It was indeed a miscalculation on their part.
Itachi would have quit the Akatsuki sooner or later. Mostly because of his family, siblings, and the new threat on Konoha.
The real Itachi had to quit the Akatsuki right now, or he will never be able to fully protect his family.
If the Akatsuki had found out about his secret family, and that he was working with Chris, they would have kidnapped them to get him to do even more dangerous tasks.
The only reason why they didn't mistreat Itachi, was because he is another strong rinnegan user, and they needed him to become stronger.
But too bad for them that Itachi only stayed with them was because they were a threat, but not anymore. The Akatsuki is now weak thanks to Pain’s current condition.
And that's not all. Itachi's multiple shadow clones also shared their vision with one another, like Pain does.
Itachi's shadow clones were sent to scout the aliens, and he found something terrifying.
A huge number of aliens were headed to the Akatsuki right at this moment. They all had sensed four tailed beasts on the Akatsuki hideout.
They were all very sensitive to chakra. The fact that four of the tailed beasts are at a single location, it was like a strong magnet that attracted them.
The huge number of aliens was somewhere in the thousands. Every one of them possessed the same power when Chris fought one a while ago.
The heavy footsteps caused a huge rumbling noise around the area, it sounded like a huge stampede.
Behind the huge number of aliens, there were two who stood out the most.
The dark-grey turtle alien figure which had the darkest skinned colour.
And the original alien, the mother of all the aliens. She might look almost the same as her children, but she was noticeably bigger, and was emitting a bunch of chakra that was even more powerful than Isabella's. it was the result of how many innocent ninjas had fallen under its feet.
After the battle with Chris, the Dark-grey title alien figure went back to its base, to report about the tailed beasts to its leader.
They were all showing signs of intelligence. They had learned to faintly communicate with each other using a foreign language that no human could ever understand.
Only a couple of others like him had learned a bit of the human language. Which is why he was able to communicate a bit with Chris.
After she had heard of this fabulous news, she thought it was about time to spread her forces around the world.
She commanded every single one of her children to spread out everywhere to find more of these.
And just right now, they had finally sensed not one, but four tailed beasts in a single location.
Konan, Pain, black and white Zetsu sensed the unbelievable amount of powerful beings headed their way.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
“It’s them! How did they find us?!” (Black Zetsu) said very fearfully. He and white zetsu had seen the alien in action when it tried to attack them. They were very familiar with its chakra.
What scared him what that there wasn't just one, but countless of them rushing at their location.
“We need to get out of here.” (Black zetsu)
Konan and Pain also felt that insane power, but Pain won't be able to escape from this place.
Konan can use her jutsu to fly from a far distance, but she won't be able to carry Pain and the other six paths, it's too much weight for her to carry.
Kizame told them that even using a simple jutsu on those things, could even steal his chakra. Which means that if even if she were to just bring Pain, but leave the other paths, then the real Pain would still lose his chakra indirectly.
Black and white Zetsu can just go underground and avoid the huge catastrophe, meaning that they're save.
Pain knew the situation very well. His chakra was the only thing keeping his real body alive, and if it were to be stolen, he would die instantly.
“Konan… just go.” (Pain) said without any hint of emotion in his words.
“No! I won’t leave you. We will find a way to-” (Konan)
Konan knew that Pain wouldn’t be able to escape as well. Even if he did find a way, how much time would he have left to live, a day or a week if he was lucky.
“I was gonna die anyways, what’s the point. But you, on the other hand can still live. Please continue to live.” (Pain)
He looked at Konan as she tried to hold in her tears.
“But-” (Konan) was interrupted when Pain gently caressed her cheek.
“Just go.” (Pain) said softly.
Konan couldn’t hold in her tears as she pulled Pain to her, and gave him a deep kiss. This was their first, and last kiss.
The kiss roughly lasted for a few moments, but they both savoured it.
Reluctantly, Konan took a step back and summoned paper wings and flew far away. As she flew further and further away, her tears escaped from the speed she flew. She was too depressed to even look back.
She remembered all those precious moments together, and she will forever keep these memories till her grave.
Pain looked up to her as she disappeared into the sky. He didn’t want to show it, but he was sad as well. He knew that he would die someday, and was prepared for it.
He then said to black and white Zetsu.
“You two go… and warn the world of the incoming disaster.” (Pain) that was his last words to black and white Zetsu.
Black and white Zetsu nodded to their boss’s last orders. They disappeared from his sight without saying anything else.
As soon as they left, Pain communicated with the remaining Akatsuki members.
“The Akatsuki is now disbanded. Follow your leaders last orders, and survive this, and live on. Do not return to base, and avoid any and all creepy creatures you see. After today, it will without a doubt change the entire history of the elemental nations forever. Live, that is all I have to say as your leader.” (Pain)
Pain disconnected his connection to the other Akatsuki members. They all heard his last words at the same time no matter the location they were in. They didn’t know why he said that, but they were all sure of one thing, it isn’t just the Akatsuki that is in trouble, the entire world is also in trouble.
Nobody knows what the ex-Akatsuki members are gonna do now. They will either avenge their fallen leader and try to fight the aliens, or they will just now mind their business.
*RUMBLE…*
All of a sudden, the rumbling stopped.
Pain and his other paths thought it was weird. They exited the base to check outside. Once they were outside, a countless number of green aliens were standing outside of the base. The number is vast, there could be at least thousands of them.
The huge number of aliens had surrounded the area, he had no way to escape.
Pain stood in the middle of the other paths. They all were very strong, but they will never survive this huge ordeal.
It is literally six man, versus an army of over-powered aliens.
But even with the odds against him, he will never back down.
“Are you all just gonna stand there, or are we gonna fight.” (Pain) yelled out to the huge number of aliens.
They seemed to have understand him, as 6 aliens charged at them at a terrifying speed.
Pain extended his right hand to use his ultimate move.
“ALMIGHTY PUSH!!!” (Pain)
CHANGE SCENE
Back in Tori no Kuni with the real Chris
As soon as Al teleported me, I saw the entire village in a catastrophe.
I felt as my feet were being lifted, because the entire place is falling to the ground.
Remember that this entire place is an actual living bird, if it dies, then the entire village of birds also goes down with it,
I managed to balance myself by holding onto a nearby tree.
The entire place was in utter chaos. But some of them were trying to do the best in this situation.
The eagles are such giant-beasts, that they can carry a lot of birds on their backs. But they're not that many eagles in this place, meaning that only a few could survive.
(Think of it when the titanic sank and it didn't have enough lifeboats.)
Although some birds can fly, others can't. This village holds all kinds of birds in it, including those flightless birds, like chickens, penguins, etc.
Al was now flying beside me as well. He had no idea what to do in this situation, and he was hoping that I had a good idea.
“What's happening Al?!” (Chris)
Why would the continental bird suddenly fly down like this?
“T-the place is being under attack by…” (Al)
He spoke so fast that it was almost impossible to understand him, but I somehow managed to understand a bit of what he said.
“Attacked by whom?” (Chris)
“It's just one being, and it's a dragon.” (Al)
‘A dragon?!’ I thought.
Something caught my attention from the corner of my eye. It was a bit far, but I saw the silhouettes of a huge monster that resembled a lot like a dragon.
And another shiny monster, that resembled a lot like a Phoenix.
These two monsters were fighting behind a dark cloud, which couldn't be seen by anyone. The clouds were so thick that no one could see beyond the other side.
The only reason why I am able to see it, was because their attacks were so bright and colourful, that shadows of those two have appeared on the clouds.
Thinking back, the Phoenix king said something to me when I just finished my natural energy training.
He told me that there is a possibility that Tori no kuni might fall someday. Did he somehow predict that his entire village will fall under the attack of a mythical being?
He also made me promise that I must protect the people of this village if something like that were to happen, and in return, he would owe me one.
Looking at the battle from a far distance, I saw that the dragon is indeed like those in pictures I saw back on my home planet. It is twice the size of the Phoenix king, and it looked terrifying.
I didn't want to come across that fight, I only promised the Phoenix king to help the birds in his village, not help him win a fight against a dragon.
Only those birds who can fly will survive, but those who can't fly will meet a tragic ending.
I had an idea on how to save them all, but I am gonna need some help.
“Al! Can you get me to the bottom of the continental bird?” (Chris)
“I- I can't do that. I am not that fast and I will not be able to carry you over there.” (Al)
“But I can.” (Bald)
The son of Elgae, Bald, came at a great moment to offer his services.
His dad assigned him to gather as many birds as he could on his back.
Bald knew that there is no way that they can save everybody in here. The population of flightless birds, exceeds the number of eagles.
Only huge birds like eagles can carry other birds, as it doesn't affect their flight whatsoever.
If an ordinary bird were to try and carry another bird, it would be a matter of time before both of them plummet to their end.
But once Bald saw the human kid, he thought he would risk it and help the human kid.
“I need you to get me underneath the continental bird. Can you do that?” (Chris)
The speed at this island is falling is making it very hard for my voice to reach others ears.
Bald has superior senses than normal humans, naturally my voice reached him.
He stretched his neck towards me.
“Hop on!” (Bald)
He doesn't know what Chris has in plan, but hopefully it works.
While holding onto the tree with one hand, I reached out with my other hand to hold tight onto Bald’s neck.
Once I grabbed it, I let go of the tree and immediately hugged its huge neck.
It felt soft and fuzzy. Almost like silk or something, and it had that unique bird scent.
Bald didn't waste any more time, and flew me underneath the continental bird at a fast rate.
Al couldn't do anything at this moment. Luckily his family was being carried by Elgae, so he doesn't need to worry about them.
But that doesn't mean that others don't need his help.
With the help of his newly acquired move, natural energy, he can now find other birds in this huge village.
Bald was faster than most birds, but his speed can't be compared to the Phoenixes, but he was faster than I could have travelled.
In almost no time, Bald flew across the continental bird then flew under it. We made it underneath in no time.
I got off Bald’s neck, and tried to fly and carry the giant rock.
Only to realize, that my flying abilities don't work!
Why can't I fly?
Then something struck me. Imagine this, when I need to walk on water, I need to also gather chakra on my feet, but there is a catch to this, the further away from land, the more chakra I need to use.
I have always flown very close to land, and never further up, because the further I went up, the harder it got for me to fly.
And since I am so high up above, I will need to learn how to perfectly balance my chakra on my feet, to the distance of the land beneath me.
And I don't think I have enough time to practice something like that.
“Shit!” (Chris) I said to myself. I had a good plan, but I failed to remember this flaw in my flying ability.
My plan was to have me and a bunch of shadow clones use our great strength combined, to raise up the giant rock.
It's like that scene where superman would use his super strength and flying ability, to lift up the plane.
But then another idea popped up on my head. Seals! They are my one chance to save Tori no Kuni from destruction.
YES HAHAHAHA!!! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و !
What?!
I have finally done it Chris! I HAVE 100 MILLION HAREM RINGS!!! MY LIFE’S WORK IS NOW COMPLETE!!!
That's nice, but I AM VERY BUSY RIGHT NOW!!!
What? Oh… I see. Never mind, forget I said anything. (¬ε¬)
What the fuck, bluescreen?!
I ignored him, and placed my entire body underneath the rock. Since is was falling above me, my whole body was forced to stand the weight of the thing falling in a fast pace.
‘Hey boss?’ My blood puppet said telepathically.
‘What?!’ I responded.
‘There is a bit of trouble with Naruto and the Hyuuga clan. Hiashi thinks that Naruto was about to deflower-’
I interrupted him. ‘I don't care what you do, just do whatever you want!’
He wouldn't shut up when in this crucial time.
‘Cool. I'll just tell Hiashi and Hina that Hinata is pregnant with Naruto’s baby’ my blood puppet said a bit coyish. And that is how that small incident began.
‘Wait what?!’ I said.
“Human! Do it quick. We don't have enough time.” (Bald) said loudly.
It was faint, but I did hear his voice. I turned to see that we are very close to land. Any second now, and I will become mashed tomato.
I summoned a bunch of shadow clones quickly without needed to use hand signs. I didn't care about the amount, but I know I summoned a lot.
I made sure to place my hands on the falling rock, and planted a seal. My shadow clones also knew what I would do, and they copied what I just did as well.
Then the giant rock…
