From these four days starting on Sunday, I have spend my time writing my new chapters of both The Fox and Tale of The Gutless Fearless Ninja. Originally, I was going to put two more chapters in them, but I couldn't due to the amount of time wasted working on the new chapter of The Fox, which was very long! I should have started on Saturday, but I got lazy. Also, I saw the new Star Wars movie; it was amazing! Now onward with reading my chapter, and my gift to you all from me! Enjoy!
Chapter 28
At the Sky Lord's office, Ezekiel, with his pipe in his mouth, look at his crystal ball and saw Elder, Nevets and the bullfrog being transported to The Five Islands of Paradises. He has been viewing him by the time he had entered the forest
He knew that his training with Nevets will involve him teaching him Sage Chakra. "You better pray to God you know what you're doing to the boy, Nevets." He thought hopefully for the safety of his surrogate grandson.
Suddenly, a loud noise loses his concentration on his thoughts toward Elder. He lean his ear to hear the many items being broken down and the voice of a trooper.
"Ma'am please! You can't go in there without an appointment!"
"I DON'T CARE! LET ME THROUGH!"
The trooper then lay out a girlish scream followed by multiple punches. Ezekiel stopped with his eyes dotted after hearing the voice. "Oh no." He said to himself.
The door burst open, revealing Olicen's furious rage. "Sky Lord," She yelled. "We need to talk!"
Drachir then appear right behind his wife with a sweatdrop from his forehead, waving "Hiya, Ezekiel."
"Hello Olicen and Drachir." He stated, not risking being scared by her rage face or the damages that she had made before barging in his office.
"Sir, this women came by the residence and broke many things along the way!" An Eromle trooper said; his armor has been ripped apart due to Olicen's strength. She then turn around and lay out a hissing sound from her mouth, making his coward from outside the outside with a girl yip. "S-Should I...escort them out with more troopers?"
"No, it's fine." Ezekiel lay out a hand before putting it down. "Just swipe up what's broken and continue on your duties."
"Yes, Sky Lord." The trooper then closes the door right behind him.
Before the mother could utter an answer, Ezekiel beat her to it, saying "This is about Elder's training, is that it? Yesterday, Nevets came by and told me everything."
"Then you must know about what he's going to teach our son?" Olicen said.
"Yes, I know."
"Ezekiel, me and my husband both know the difficulties when it comes to master the Sage Arts. You know it too as well."
"Yes." Ezekiel said, blowing out smoke from his pipe. "The risk of mastering this kind of chakra is far the risk of tighten the seal on Elder. I have no idea what Nevets is thinking. When did you two first learn that Elder will be learning this?"
"This morning." Drachir answer, while hiding his sadness that he didn't finish his meal. "Elder explain what happen yesterday from his training with Nevets. He had to master the water walking technique after nine times."
"Has Elder told you more?" Ezekiel asked again, thinking that his parents both knew the reason.
"All he said was that Nevets uses Sage Chakra to Elder's stomach and twisted it to the right."
"In other words," The leader of the city added in seriousness. "He losses the seal on Elder."
"WHAT?!" Both of the parents shouted in unison.
"HAS THAT IDIOT LOST HIS MIND?!" Olicen shouted more, making her temper grew. "DOESN'T HE KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPENED?! I'M GOING TO HAVE HIS HEAD IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY BOY!"
"Now before you'll do anything you're going to regret," Ezekiel said, praying that she doesn't loses more of her temper. "Nevets told me why he had did it."
"THEN EXPLAIN BEFORE I GO AFTER HIM!"
"The seal is affecting Elder's chakra."
"What?" Olicen's temper then died down with her husband reacting shocked by the leader's answer.
"This is why Elder's has been having trouble performing the Water Walking technique. The seal has preventing him from ever using any level jutsus. It's can't be fix without disturbing the seal." Ezekiel explain more, fearing the parent's to their nightmares.
"Oh, my god." She held her hand on her mouth. Drachir put his hand to her shoulder in conform.
"Nevets told me that the only way for Elder of gaining control is for him to learn Sage Arts." He explained. "So I let him."
"Are you sure it's wise for him letting our son teach this kind of chakra?" Asked Drachir.
"There is no other solution for Elder. If anyone who knows about Sage Arts, it's Nevets and the Burus."
"The Burus?" Olicen repeated, remembering the stories she had heard from the sensei. "He's going to let a bunch of bullfrogs teaching my son of how to regain the seal and perform jutsus?"
"These bullfrogs are the wise guardians of nature, Olicen." He said. "They'll know what they're doing. In fact, I sense that Elder's training with the bullfrogs will begin momentary."
Drachir raises an eyebrow before asking "What do you mean?"
"I have view from my crystal ball and witness Elder and Nevets' conversation in the waterfall of the forest."
"Wait a minute," Olicen said, hearing that from her ear. "Isn't that place is where women go over there and swim and play around?"
"As a matter of fact, yes." Ezekiel said, while holding a blush after seeing it.
"Why would that man ask my son to go over there?! To spy of the women?!" Olicen said, with a dark blush forming from her cheeks.
"I have no idea why he chose this spot. I don't even know why he let his son train right in front of the women's bathhouse."
"Say what?!"
"Anyways," Ezekiel quickly changes the subject before Olicen throws a temper fit. "Nevets explain to Elder of his condition and the answer to the solution of it is Senjutsu. But before Elder could master it, he had to sign a contract."
"By contract, you don't mean…" Drachir asked.
"Yes, Drachir." He nodded. "He had signed a contract to the Burus after Nevets summon one of the bullfrogs."
"Okay. So where are they know?"
"You're not going to like the next part." Ezekiel muttered to himself before raising his voice to them. "They were transport to the Burus homeplace, The Five Islands of Paradises."
"What?!"
"He took my baby to that island?!" Olicen cried.
"Doesn't he know what will happen to Elder?!" Drachir shouted. "No one, except for Nevets, has ever gone to this place! Anyone who are not familiars with the Burus are crucify!"
"I know, but remember, we had to put our faith for Nevets for the sake of this city and the entire world." Ezekiel reminded. "Now we must put our faith on the Burus."
"Not if the Burus doesn't crucified Elder first." Drachir added, triggering another rage from his wife, who slam both of her hands on the desk and leaning to the leader.
"If they even lay a hand on my son or anything happens to him, I'm going to have that creep's ass and bury his body parts all around the other four islands! And you!" She shouted.
"Me?!" Ezekiel yelled, before coughing his smoke after his pipe fall down.
"Yes! You're the one who offer this! Elder gets hurts, so you have to take responsibility! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!"
"Yes ma'am!" The old man begged for mercy.
"Good." Olicen said, resuming back to her cheerful state, as she turn her whole body away from the leader and left the office. Her frightful husband follow her but not before apologizing to the leader of his wife's behavior.
A loud gulp was shallow from the old man's throat and the many thoughts run to his head of the mother's furious rage against Nevets and him.
"Nevets, you better hope that Elder is okay or we'll both be facing the beating of our lifetime!"
A shroud of thick smokes came out of nowhere, where Buruhyousuke has appear right where he stands.
On top of its head, Nevets remain still in Indian style and put his hand together in a mock prayer. Gumball responded by only falling down on the ground with his face.
"Ow!" The blue cat cried, rubbing his wounded nose.
"I told you to hang on to my waist, Elder." Nevets said.
"Now you tell me!" He exclaimed, getting up from the ground and dust himself. "Where did you take me exactly? The What Islands of What?"
Gumball's eyes then look up and held in a breath as he saw where're they. A beautiful tropical island filled with trees that are five times the normal tree. Billions and billions of leaves right on top of the giant trees. The grass that he stands was fresh and had mile drew. The blue cat then saw something forward; there were two waterfalls from the left and right as they were almost close to each other as the waters fall right at the exact same time.
"Welcome, Elder, to The Five Islands of Paradises." Said Nevets.
"Whoa…"
"Now we must be haste, young one, and meet up with the chief."
"Nevets," The bullfrog spoke with its eyes look to the sensei. "Are you wise enough for this boy to be teaching the Arts of the Sage?"
"Yes." He said.
"And how are you going to say this to the chief?"
"Oh, don't worry about Buruhironori." Nevets said with a flick of his hand and sweat drop at the back of his head. "I'm sure that I can convince him of teaching Elder Sage Arts."
Buruhyosuke said with a raise eyebrow "Really?"
"Yes." Nevets said with a smile on his face and his eyes close.
"Even explaining him that the child had run off to the island alone while we were talking?"
Nevets then reopen both of his eyes and saw that his student wasn't there anymore and hear a rustle in the large bushes.
"Uh-oh." He said with fear. "Chief Hironori isn't going to like this."
Gumball started walking to the island as he uncovers more of its discovering. The young blue cat look around to see more giant trees with large leaves, only that it had fruits upon on top of it. The fruits were the size of an average head. There were apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, pineapples, and even lemons. The bushes all had blueberries and cherries that were about less than the size of the fruits from the trees.
"Whoever or whatever lives in this island sure likes fruits." Gumball said to himself, looking at the food that are too high for him to reach.
As the young blue cat continues walking, he hear a snapping sound from the corner of his ear. It was coming from his left side, on top of a tree. But the question is which one?
He hesitated of looking to see the source of the snapping sound. Before he knew it, something was about to fall.
Gumball turn around to run a bit before jumping his whole body as the object fall down to the ground.
The entire area felt a slight earthquake and Gumball kept his balance down. He turn around and saw the object; a orange.
The young blue cat walk slowly to the large fruit that fell from the tree. (or in his case, the heavens) He pause of looking the large orange and had temptations of eating it. He wasn't sure of him eating an orange that was impossibly be this big. It could be poisonous; the wonders of anyone who had come to this island before him.
A small growl started on the base of his stomach. Gumball whine slightly at it and look at the fruit right in front of him.
Turning his head around to see any of the island inhabitants, he dig his blue paw to the orange and started peel the skin of it. He then use his other hand to remove it as he found out that it's hard to do so. Seeing the inside of the skin, Gumball grab a huge chunk of it and ate it. He ate another chunk again and again and again.
Right as he was about to eat his fifth chunk, he then hear a small sound. It sounded like a small croak. A bullfrog, perhaps?
Then there's a another sound and it was coming from the bushes.
The leaves from the bushes rustle was about five feet from where the young blue cat was standing.
"Hello?" He called.
The rustle in the bushes responded again, making Gumball grew scare by what was making that noise.
Feeling curiosity rather than being afraid, he walk over to the bushes with his fifth chuck of orange from the fruit in his hand. His mind races, thinking that maybe whatever is behind those bushes is afraid. Maybe it's afraid of him.
"Hello?" He repeated. "If you're afraid of me, you don't have to be scare. I'm a good friend. I'm a friend to all of nature. Here I got you this chunk of orange that has fallen from one of the trees."
He break a small piece and lay it out to the leaves of the bush. He waited for a few seconds till he saw a tongue quickly took away the chuck from him, making his eyes widen in surprise.
"You're another bullfrog am I right?" He asked.
Gumball then took another piece and place it his palm on the bush right as it got caught by the tongue being shot out.
"The reason why I'm asking you this because I know one of your kind. I think he's name is Buru...something. I can't remember his name, but he's a solider to the chief. Maybe you can take him to it?"
He did it again for a third time; however, as he place the fourth piece right to it, he notices that the tongue wasn't coming out.
"Guess you're full, huh?" Gumball joked.
A loud croak was hear from the bushes, making Naruto jumped. This wasn't an ordinary croak from a bullfrog; it was like a small, but echo sound to the entire island.
Then a giant figure rose up from the buses, scaring the young blue cat before him and his eye widen the size of dinner plates.
A loud scream erupted to the entire island. Buruhyosuke and Nevets both hear the shout and knew who it was.
"Was that Elder?" Buruhyosuke asked.
"I believe it was." Nevets answered. "Sounds like Buruichiro had found him. Let's go him the two before he starts chasing Elder."
Gumball was now screaming for his life as he runs through the jungle. He sense danger from behind, stomping every step it made. He turn around and saw the large rounded shadow figure heading.
The young blue cat kept running and running, passing everying directions he sees. But no matter how much had run, the figure was one step ahead of him.
With a mighty leap, the giant figure jump to right as Gumball was about to run; he felt his whole body fall down and run to the other side.
He didn't saw the figure performing a couple of hand seals and shouted "Sage Arts: Misty Fog Jutsu!"
Gumball saw the jungle right in front of him being clouded by thick fog that came out of nowhere. He couldn't see where he was heading; he was getting scared.
The only thing he could do is run more until he found a hiding spot.
"What's with this fog?!" Buruhyosuke shouted as he jumped through the jungle. "I can't see a damn thing!"
"This has Buruichiro written all over it." Nevets added, struggling to see the fog. "We need to get over there before he hurts Elder." He was at his monk prayer mode and with his eyes close as well before he reopen them. Suddenly, his eyes turn into white with the pupils black, similar to a bullfrog.
"This way!" He cried, turning his head to the left as Buruhyosuke leap to his direction.
Gumball kept running while struggling to see the fog that clouded his navigation. After a few minutes later, he stopped running and lean against what appears to be a tree, taking many breathes.
He then hear the stomping coming again; it was closer and closer to where he was standing. Gumball took a few steps back, but felt his foot lost and his entire body fall down, rolling down a long hill.
His body stopped as it landed right on a solid ground. Gumball got up and felt a sharp pain in his right arm. He move it a bit, hurting it. Sounds like it was broken. Hearing the croaking again, Gumball started running, his feets not feeling the grass in the jungle, but the hard surface of a narrow wasteland. He still the fog after resuming running.
"Where am I?" Gumball asked himself in his thought. He look around his area to see where he was at. He know that he isn't in the jungle anymore. The running was making his broken arm more hurting each step; he can feel it bleeding. He clutches it with his other hand to stop the wound.
Suddenly, he was back on the ground again after feeling his whole body ram into something. The young blue cat saw a block that was nailed in the ground. His eyes look up more to see the fog being clear. He saw that it look like a cross.
But that wasn't it. There was something in it.
Gumball took one more look at it; it almost look like a figure. Once the mist was all gone, the figure turn out to be a corpse.
The young blue cat yipped a bit, but cover his mouth with his paw over it. He took a couple of steps back right as his back came in contact again. Turning his head around, he saw another corpse in a cross.
Gumball, in fear, run away from it before his eyes saw a third corpse. His head turn another direction; again, another corpse. And another. And another. And another. Each direction he turns, there was always a dead body nailed in a cross.
The young blue cat held a breath as he examine the dead bodies all around him. Yes, there all nailed in the large cross with their hands press against the boards widely and the legs intertwined together by a single nail. The bodies skin were nearly drain and their bones were showing. Thier clothing were ripped or missing a large piece of it.
Gumball saw a headband from underneath a cross that was the closest. He walk over to it and pick it right up. The metal plate of the hitai-ate has a Japanese symbol of 海.
Seeing the headband, Gumball look at the dead bodies more and said to himself "Were these...shinobis?"
The croaking had interrupted Gumball as it was getting closer to him, making him drop the piece to the ground. He resume running, but stopped that he has no time of getting away. He needed something to defend himself.
Luckily, he saw a handle that was sticking out from a backpack of a former shinobi. He immediately grab it, revealing a samurai tanto blade. He armed the blade to his other hand.
The figure then jumped from out of the mist and landed right behind Gumball, who quickly turn around.
It hand summon something from its hip; Gumball saw a scabbard from around its waist. The weapon that it had choice was a tanto blade that was ten inches long. The samurai tanto blade that the young blue cat had was only five inches long.
Gumball made the first move by swinging the blade at his target. The figure swing its own blade at him, countering his attack.
He could feel the blade was about to bounce off from his paw. He attack again; the figure then jumped, missing his second attack.
Gumball ran as soon as it land on the ground, but got kick by the figure's foot, sending him about nine feet from him. His eyes saw the blade coming right him after another jump made by the figure. He immediately got up and jump away right as the blade went onto the ground.
The young blue cat swing the blade right at its long and fat arm, slicing the skin a bit. It lay out a scream, a loud one. The scream was something that you feel when you're suffering a stomach ache.
The large blade was pull up from the ground; Gumball swing the samurai tanto blade at its leg. The ten inches sword swing right where he was standing at. The samurai tanto blade slices across its hand.
He rolled over as he dodge another attack and slice an opening at the figure's legs. However, it jumped again and landed to the other side.
The blade was knock out from Gumball's paw, losing it forever. The cat ducked again as the sword kept swinging and swinging. Each attack had hit the cross that contain the corpuses, knocking it from its balance.
Gumball then grab a couple of rocks from where the cross were standing and throw it at the figure, which he deflect it with the ten inches sword.
However, a large rock had hit the figure in the eye, making it drop his weapon to the ground. Gumball has the advantage of ease the creature. He jump at its arm and at the face, where he started to punch.
His punches had hit the figure's other eye, making the enemy in pain. The cat then climb on the creature's back, where he continues of hitting it.
The creature responded by jumping up and down to get the cat off from its back. His jumping only made some of the crosses destroy and the dead bodies being stomp. Gumball struggle to hold on by the creature's...jacket?
Then a shout came from behind the foggy mist. "Sage Arts: Fire Bullets Spit!"
Multiple small fires were seen from above the fog right as they all exploded into a large fire. The fog was soon evaporated and Buruhyosuke came in with a small jump.
"Elder!" Nevets cried. "Thank goodness you're alive! And I see that you meet Buruichiro."
"Buruichiro?" Gumball repeated as he look down. His paw was clutching onto a dark grey jacket. He look down even more onto the creature he was facing. The creature was, in fact, another bullfrog. It's weight and height were the same as Buruhyosuke, which the yellow bullfrog was the size of a cottage. The second bullfrog's appearances was orange with green markings from both of his eyes, arms, legs and chest.
"I hope that you two didn't fought."
Gumball remember back from the fight between him and the bullfrog known as Buruichiro. He then started to chuckle sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head.
"Of course not." He lied from under his teeth. "We were just getting along, right dude?" He patted on the creature's back at the end of his sentence. An angry croak was hear from the orange bullfrog's throat. "Oh, this isn't going end well."
Gumball soon found his whole body wrapped around with a long tongue from the bullfrog's mouth. He squeaked "Oh no."
With a mighty swing, the young blue cat was launched far away to the other side with a scream.
"Ichiro," Nevets said. "Why did you do that?"
Buruichiro said with a tough voice "That cat was picking through the fruits and I chase him to the graveyard! That jerk slice me! Look at this!" He then show them the wounds that he had gotten from his fight with Elder.
"He wasn't an intruder, Ichiro. He came here with me to speak to your father. He wonder off by himself while me and Hyosuke."
"Oh." Buruichiro said, now embarrassed. "Oops. Any reason why you brought him here?"
Nevets answered. "I'll explain it to you later. Right now, we need to get Elder to the tribe."
"Father isn't going to like this when you brought him an outsider."
"No, he wouldn't."
"Quiet, you two!"
Alright! You all had read about Gumball and Nevets being on the island where the Burus are, The Five Islands of Paradise. Not only that, but you read two more Burus characters that will be appear in the next chapter, one of which that has appear near the end. Buruichiro and Buruhironri. "Ichiro" means First Born Son and "Hironri" means Benevolent ruler. Also, the headband that Gumball had founded in the graveyard has the Japanese symbol of 海; it means Umi, or in the English translation, Sea, as in the village of the sea. That's where Zu will be going on his mission, and that will appear probably in the next chapter. Anyways, that all for now.
