"It's a chain!" Naruto gasped at the glittering piece.
"Wow," Reiten breathed. A dragon was etched onto it, it curved all the way around the chain as if it was its guardian. When he turned the chain around and around, the sunlight would catch on the shining metal and make the dragon move like one would if it was real.
"This is your mother's weapon, something she left you boy, take good care of it," Draco warned him.
"This is yours brat, your father left you these jutsus and his infamous one, the Hirashin," Gamabunta tossed Naruto the scroll.
"Wow this is heavy!" Naruto staggered under the weight of the scroll.
"It had better be, it contains all of your father's jutsus, every single one, don't lose it kid," Gamabunta watched Naruto with amusement as he struggled to lift the scroll.
"Ah! I almost forgot, Ryo left you something boy," Draco grunted. The mighty dragon simply summoned another smaller version of him. Draco Jr. walked up to Reiten and placed a huge basket in front of him.
"What's this?" Reiten peered over the top of it and saw a mass of cloths.
"This is something your father left you, they're dragon eggs, there's three in this basket," Draco let out another puff of smoke.
"Dragon eggs?" Reiten clambered over the side and into the basket. He landed on the cloths and somersaulted to a stop.
"The eggs are rare, we dragons live to an extremely old age, some of us are immortal therefore we barely get any hatchlings," Draco Jr. grinned.
Reiten didn't reply, he had taken the cloths of the eggs and ran his fingers over them. One of the eggs was clear, like glass, it threw flashes of rainbow coloured light everywhere in the forest. It was as if it was made of solid glass and didn't contain a living thing inside it. The second one was as black as night. It glistened in the sunlight, sitting there, innocently blinding everyone. The last one was the colour of the sky, it had white mixed into it like clouds would mix with the sky. There was no telling where one colour would start or end.
"Here, carry them in this sack, keep them with you at all times even when you're showering, sleeping or fighting, they should never ever leave your side, if they should, something terrible shall happen," hooked on one of Draco's claws was a bag, it had one strap that would go over one shoulder, across you chest and met the bag at your opposite hip. On the strap was several pouches to place things in.
"The bag is fairly useful even after the eggs have hatched, it's a dragon summoner's standard bag!" Draco Jr. chirped.
Nodding, Reiten placed some of the rougher cloths and mesh cloths into the bag first. Then he placed some of the softer cloths in on top before gently sliding each egg in.
"Later on, when they grow larger, you can take out the cloths, the bag and clothes dry in about five minutes after getting wet so don't worry about showering!" Draco Jr. advised happily.
"Great...like I'd worry about something as minor as that..." Reiten muttered darkly.
"My names Neko," the ginger tabby cat in front of Shikamaru yawned lazily, its tail curling as it stretched.
"Shikamaru," the lazy genius nodded lazily.
"That stretch felt good," Neko rolled her shoulders and eyed her summoner curiously, "what do you like to do?"
"I like sleeping, watching clouds, shougi, go and shadows," Shikamaru drawled.
"Ooh shougi? I haven't played a good game for a while," Neko flexed her claws and sharpened them on a nearby rock.
"I'll get my board, care to join me?" Shikamaru got up and turned towards the path leading to the village.
"Love to," Neko grinned and followed him down the path, her haunches rippling.
"Lazy fools," Gaara watched the exchange between the two.
"Neko has always been like that," the sandy brown tanuki he summoned lay comfortably in the shade.
"I can tell," Gaara said drily.
"Anyways, the names Ko, what's your's summoner?" Ko's ears twitched and his tail pounded a steady rhythm into the ground.
"Gaara, Gaara no Subaku," the sand around him began forming another sand sculpture.
"What's up with the sand?" Ko eyed the moving sand cautiously.
"I'm merely making a sand castle or perhaps some other building," Gaara watched his sand intently.
"You're missing a door," Ko drew one in with his now extended claw.
"Thank-you for pointing that out," Gaara intoned politely.
"Your welcome," Ko replied with the same tone.
And there's your average boring person-summon conversation...
"You like the water kid?" the tortoise surfaced beside Koga. Its shell shone many different hues of blues and greens, all which gleamed in the sunlight.
"Of course, it's so...peaceful...calm...and gentle," Koga lay in the water on his back, his eyes shut and his breathing steady.
"Yet it can be harsh and strong when it needs to, they may seem gently now, but wait until you see it when it's a roaring tsunami," the turtle chuckled and moved a flipper forwards making a wave come down on Koga.
"I'll take that into mind next time," Koga spluttered as he resurfaced.
There were several moments of silence as Koga returned to drifting around on his back while the tortoise swam around him effortlessly. Finally, Koga broke the silence with a question that should have been asked a long time ago....
"What's your name mister?" Koga asked.
"Kame," the tortoise resurfaced with some bubbles around him.
"Tortoise?" Koga looked at him curiously.
"A tortoise named tortoise, a fitting name is it not?" Kame chuckled softly before he dove again.
"I wish all things were that easy," Koga sighed wistfully.
"Some things are, some things...well they need a little work to achieve youngster," Kame advised wisely.
"The name's Koga not youngster Kame," Koga repriminded.
"Hey! Talking time is over! Each of you will train with your summons now! Get to know your summons better and get started on teamwork!" Itachi appeared in the middle of the clearing. His order brought everyone out of their conversations and into the clearing.
"Oh, and you guys just a fair warning to let you know what you're gonna go through," Draco spoke up with an evil glint in his eyes, "Welcome to Hell."
Those last words left each of them with a shudder and the thought that this was not gonna pretty...and they were probably right....
Lucky-sama: There was the new chapter!
Tensai-san: We don't have much to do next week or so (except X-mas shopping and stuff like that), therefore expect another chapter coming up real soon!
