Chapter 418: Side Story Part 2: Origin of Redaku Part-3: Soul Fracture Stones

"Gentleman, I think you might need a little help here!" Izuna lands on the ship with chief Garuda.

Scree…

Chief Garuda grabs the tail of the giant eel and pulls it away from the ship.

"Ah!"

The sudden intervention from Izuna surprises the ship's captain and Hoshi. The captain aims his spear toward Izuna and fires an energy beam toward him.

Pew…

A blue energy beam is released from the tip of the spear. It quickly travels toward Izuna and hit him in the face.

Bzzt…

Izuna's vision blacks out for a second. He feels a stinging pain in his forehead. The various elemental orbs in his mindscape quickly protect his soul.

Sin also negates the residual energy of the beam.

'That was scary! What the hell was this attack? It bypassed most of my mental defenses and launched an attack on my soul.'

Izuna shakes his head and opens his eyes. He snatches the spear from the ship's captain's hand and inspects it.

"Hmm… the design of this spear is pretty much basic. There is nothing special about it. It's similar to a light source lamp in lasers, whereupon the excitation of a material releases a wavelength of energy particular to that material. However, what's special is the material used in this spear…"

Under the flabbergasted gazes of the ship captain and the merchant Hoshi, Izuna cracks open the thick metallic spear with his bare hands and extracts a translucent rock from the core of the spear.

He tosses away the bent spear and inspects the translucent rock with his Sharingan. A frown appears on Izuna's face.

"Strange! The energy signal of this rock is foreign. The resonant frequency of its molecules and atoms is different from the material of this world. Its nature and behavior with other matter indicate that it's under the influence of higher energy from another dimension. Interesting. I will research it later."

The rock disappears from Izuna's hands as he stores it in his storage space. Hoshi and the captain's eyes widen even further as the rock magically disappears right in front of their eyes.

Gulp…

They gulp their saliva and warily stare at Izuna.

"Wh… who… who are you?" The captain stutters as he puts his words together.

"Ah… my bad! I didn't introduce myself. I am Izuna Uchiha, a member of the Uchiha clan and a shinobi of the Konoha village." Izuna formally introduces himself.

"A shinobi!" A strange fluctuation appears in Hoshi's and the captain's eyes.

"Are you really a shinobi? The warriors from the legends: who could walk on water, fly in the sky and breathe fire and water from their mouths. Lift a gigantic mountain with their bare hands and destroy countries with a slight flick of their hands."

The terror in their eyes changes to awe and revere.

"Umm… I am not sure what kind of impression you people have of shinobi. But if it happens to be the one you mentioned just now, then indeed I can do all of these things, and perhaps much more than that." Izuna agrees with them.

"No, we believe you." The captain and Hoshi nod at him.

Just now they saw Garuda easily grab the giant eel by the neck and throw it into the ocean.

REEE…

The gigantic eel jumps out of the water in fury. It opens its mouth and charges a powerful lightning energy orb into its mouth. It aims the energy orb toward Garuda and the ship and discharges it.

"We are done for!" Hoshi and the captain hug each other in despair.

At the doorstep of death, Hoshi regains some of his sanity.

'Perhaps I should have heard his words and vacated the ship as soon as possible. Now, I will be buried in the sea without an intact corpse.' Such thoughts run through his mind.

'I was an idiot to think about saving the life of this suicidal man. Now, I will pay for it dearly with my life. I haven't even married yet.' Tears flow from the captain's eyes.

"Hmm… these sea creatures sure are aggressive."

Izuna stretches his palm and grabs the giant beam of electricity with his hands.

Crackle… crackle…

Lightning crackles around his body, but Izuna shrugs it off.

'Hmm… the power of this lightning ball is similar to an A-rank jutsu.'

Clench…

Izuna clenches his fist and dissipates the energy beam.

'I wonder how the people of Redaku even survive the attacks of such a thing. Hmm… if they use those weapons from earlier, perhaps they might stand a chance and scare these wild sea creatures.'

He shakes his head and a Shinra Bansho orb shoots toward the giant eel-like creature. It pierces through the head of the eel and blows a giant hole in its body.

Purple blood splatters on the surface of the sea as the corpse of the creature floats on the surface.

Hoshi and the captain regain their wits and stare at Izuna with awe.

"Such strength… such power. No wonder you are a shinobi."

"…"

'They only trust me now. So, what was that talk earlier? Were they acting?'

Both of them bow their head to Izuna in respect. Even the rest of the crewmates and the subordinates of Hoshi bow to Izuna in awe.

'Ugh… why do I feel like I have entered the territory of some ancient tribes who surmise my every action as an act of God? It's too troublesome, but I have to somehow gather information from these people.'

"It's fine… it's fine! There is no need for such a thing. I was just looking for some information. You people happened to be on the same path as me, so I decided to lend a helping hand. It's nothing much!" Izuna shakes his head.

"No… no… how could we treat our savior in such a rude way? We have to properly display our hospitality. Also, it has been decades since a shinobi made his appearance in Redaku. The legends of shinobis are widespread across Redaku, so it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one right in front of our eyes."

The various crewmates scrutinize Izuna like art in a museum.

"His looks are similar to us. I thought he would have a thousand arms and legs." One of the crewmates whispers to his friend.

'Hey… I can hear you loud and clear, alright!' Izuna's facial muscles twitch.

"I thought he will be as tall as the sky." Another crewmate mutters.

"Shouldn't he have a body of wood and the head of a dragon?' Another crewmate mutters.

'Wait! Hold it! This description sounds familiar.' Izuna's eyes widen slightly as the goofy face of First Hokage appears in his mind.

'Why does all of their description remind me of the wooden constructs of the First Hokage? The thousand hands should be from the Thousand Hand Buddha Statue. That giant body should be the wooden golem and the dragon head should be the wooden dragon. What the heck? Did First Hokage accidentally visit this place?'

Izuna ponders to himself.

'The possibility isn't low since he was also a Sage, so it isn't difficult for him to bypass the restriction of that barrier. And also, most of the records about his life vanished courtesy of the Black Zetsu. Hmm… now that I think about it, Black Zetsu must also be aware of this place. So why didn't he make a move to conquer this place yet? Perhaps there are few hidden secrets about this place.'

Izuna takes their praises with a smile.

"Alright, I will accept your hospitality. But I have questions that I would like to get some answers to." Izuna states his condition.

"Of course. You are our guest, so it's natural." The captain nods at him.

"Ah… it's too rude of us to not introduce ourselves." The merchant lowers his hat.

"I am Hoshi Mitsubishi, a merchant from the Land of Redaku."

"I am Kei, the captain of this ship." The captain also introduces himself.

"Now what would you like to ask, Izuna-sama?" Both of them politely gesture to him.

"Hmm… I am very curious about the weapon you used earlier." Izuna stretches his hand, and the broken remains of the spear fly towards his hand, awing the spectators in the process.

"No… to be more precise, what's this ore that you use as a power source for this spear?" Izuna produces translucent rock.

"This is a special ore of Mount Redaku. We call it the Soul Fracture stone. It emits a special energy beam that targets the mind of the victim. It didn't have any effect on the people, but its beam can scare away those powerful sea monsters. So, we use it in our weapons to fight against these sea creatures."

'Hmm…' Izuna tosses the soul fracture stone on his palm.

'I inspected their mind with my Mangekyo Sharingan. And what they are saying is indeed right? Due to constant exposure to the radiation of this soul fracture stone, their souls have a certain immunity to its effect. However, it could easily break the mind of a normal shinobi.'
