Chapter 51 - Secret Meeting

I madly run away from Hanzo for 30 minutes straight, without even looking back. There was no way Hanzo would let me live if he captures me.

After confirming several times that I am not being chased, I finally calmed down and stopped running. Soon I got excited that I completed the quest and managed to run away from Hanzo unscathed.

'Hehehehe, I can't believe I escaped from Hanzo while Sannin could only beg for his mercy!! If Onoki hears this, he might even promote me, hehe.

Anyway, System, where is my summoning reward?'

System: "It is already in Host's Kunai pocket. Please check."

'It is in my Kunai pocket? Isn't summoning scroll large enough to be carried on your back, no?'

System: "That is for Toad summoning scroll. Eagle Summoning is small enough to fit in the host's Kunai pocket. Please sign Host's name with the blood to contact with Eagle summonings."

I tried to bite off my thumb, but blood never came out. I tried another 10 times, biting my thumbs to bleed. However, it never came out.

'How the fuċk Naruto made it look so easy to bite off his thumb? It is painful as hell, and blood never comes out!!! Are their teeth made or razor or what?!

I can't accept this!! I can't accept that my teeth are not as sharp as some 12 years old kid!!'

In the end, I couldn't bite my thumb to bleed. So I used Kunai to cut my thumb, and I wrote down my name in the scroll.

System: "Now, the host must get approvals from Eagles to summon them. Please Summon the Eagle Boss and ask for permission to summon any Eagles under him."

'I didn't know I had to ask for permission from Eagles to summon them. System, show me the hand signs for Summoning jutsu.'

As for I didn't how much chakra needed to summon Eagle Boss, I used as much as chakra I could safely. I pressed the hands' five fingers to the ground and channel chakra to the hand.

"Summoning Jutsu!!"

With my shouting, the huge smoke came out right in front of me. Soon I could see a very large Eagle. It has brown color on its wings and body, with a bright white head and tail. It was a bald eagle.

"Umm? It's has been such a long time since a human summoned me. What's more, it's just a kid?" A large bald eagle spoke after seeing it was me who summoned.

"Hello, my name is Genji. I am an Iwagakure Shinobi. The reason I summoned sir here is to get approval as Eagle summoner." I politely spoke to the Eagle.

"So you want an approval as Eagle summoner? Well, since you were able to summon me, it means you have a good affinity with us and a huge charka reserve, despite your age. We eagles don't care which village you from, so I don't care about your backgrounds.

As a test, I will ask you a series of questions. If you don't manage to answer even one, I will deem you as a failure and null your contract with us."

'Not even one and I fail? Why is the eagle summoner requirement so harsh? Naruto or Jiraiya had it so easy, just riding on the head of the toad. Vert Unfair!!!'

"Please, ask me the questions. I am ready." Although I panicked inside, I pretended I had no problems at all.

"It seems you are confident, very good. Okay, here it comes.

First question: There are 3 Eagles and 10 fish. It takes 3 eagles to finish eating 5 fish in 1 hour. Therefore tell me how old are Eagles and fish?"

"..."

I was speechless after hearing the Bald eagle's question. I looked at eagle with 'Are you serious' eye and Eagle looked back at me with 'Yes I am' eye.

'Did you just hear question right or is this bald eagle questioning nonsense? He just told me there are eagles and fish and asking me about their age?

System do you know the answer?'

System: "After calculating, here is System's answer. Eagles are 8 years old while fish are 2 years old."

'Wait, how the fuċk did you calculate this shit? Am I the only one who doesn't get it? Are you sure about this is correct?'

System: "Please have trust in System, host."

'No, the moment you have the answer to that nonsense, I already lost trust in you.'

"What's taking you so long? Don't tell me you can't even answer question 1?" Bald eagle asked me.

"How can it be, sir. Here is my answer. Eagles are 8 years old while fish are 2 years old." Since I didn't know the answer, I just gave the system's answer.

"Oh, not bad, kid. You got it correct. But there won't be such an easy question from now."

'Correct?! And that supposed to be an easy question? Are you kiddin' me? Who educated this bird?'

"Second question: If I were to eat myself, would I become twice as big or disappear completely?"

'Oh god, he was being serious when he said the first question is the easiest. This is beyond nonsense. Why would you eat yourself, in the first place? System, tell me your answer."

System: "Answer is Color Red, host."

'Question is bigger or disappear and why is an answer the color red?!! Are you sure you are a system? Where did you even get the color red from? You know what, I don't care anymore. I will just answer it.'

"It is color red." At this point, I didn't answer him politely. No point of being polite to dumbass.

"You got correct again. I guess you are not like other stupid Humans. You really are smart. Keep it up and you will soon be an Eagle Summoner"

'Okay, I am done with this shit. I will just leave it to System.'

-------------------

Bald eagle asked me a total of 7 questions, each being more nonsense than the previous question. Luckily or not, System got it all right.

"Hahaha, congratulation kid. You answered every question correctly.

Now you are officially our eagle summoner and can summon any eagles under my command anytime. You can call me Boss from now on. I will be your aid anytime from now on.

You don't have to sacrifice anything for us. We just want your loyalty. So just don't make a summoning contract with other animals."

"Thank you, Boss."

I felt like I lost my entire brain cell during this time. Now I am questioning, having such a dumbass eagle fighting by my side is alright or not.

"Boss, I need your help currently. Can you take me and my friends to Iwagakure?"

"Sure, no problem. Hop on. By the way, here are your friends?"

"I think they are in the East direction from here," I answered Boss while riding on his back.

Boss spread his huge wings and flew at incredible speed. I gotta say riding on the bird, sure felt awesome and cool. No wonder Deidara and Sai kept riding their art bird.

After 3 hours of flight, I found my squad quickly. They were resting at our meet-up location. They were all awed by the appearance of Boss and me. I just ignored their bombing of questions.

Boss picked them up with his sharp pointy beak and flew to Iwagakure.

-----------------------

(Hanzo after letting Genji escape)

"Alright, I spared your students' lives. So pay up now. But I gotta say, you have taught them well, the third Hokage!" Hanzo spoke.

"Well, they are still baby tigers who are growing. I wanted to teach them feelings of despair, and not to be conceited. Thanks for your cooperation, Hanzo. As promised, here is 100 million ryo." Hiruzen talked to Hanzo.

"Don't be. I am doing this because we are allies. So when do we start our plan?" Hanzo asked.

Figure next to Hiruzen, Nara clan head answered to Hanzo.

"Two weeks from now. Hanzo-sama has to pretend to attack our Konohagakure with an excuse of Amegakure taking the Great Ninja village spot from Konoha.

Even if Onoki doesn't trust the third Hokage's fake death, he will surely move when he hears about Hanzo-sama's invasion of Konoha. We will slowly lure Onoki to the trap and crush the Iwa force completely with Ame and Konoha allied shinobi.

I am sure, Onoki will pull out from the war if this plan works, thus ending the war."

"I got it. I hope you don't forget about my condition for cooperation." Hanzo asked to Hiruzen.

"Don't worry, Konoha will always support you as leader of Amegakure and never meddle with problems in Amegakure no matter what," Hiruzen answered.

"Also, Hanzo-san. We need your help this time. Could you please search for this kid in the photo? He is from Iwagakure and recently caused a lot of chaos in Konoha." Hiruzen handed out the photo of Genji to Hanzo.

Hanzo looked at the photo of Genji and was surprised that Konoha was searching for him too.

"Well, to be honest, I met him before. He was spectating my battle with your students. I tried to kill him after the battle, but he managed to run away from me without me realizing it. Even my summoning couldn't detect him.

But I will try to capture him." Hanzo told Hiruzen what happened.

Hiruzen showed the grim face when he heard that Genji escaped Hanzo easily.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Hanzo-san. Then we will be leaving now."

Hiruzen and Nara clan head departed after saying farewell to Hanzo.
