Chapitre 9: Chapter 9 Summons
Naruto looks at the scroll before him. He turns his head back to the Necronomicon, then back to the scroll, wondering how such a thing got here. The question was easy to understand, the scroll came from the Necronomicon, that much was obvious, but leaving the scroll in such a way was a conscious act. Despite the book acting on alien laws of physics, Naruto never considered if there was some intelligence behind the book.
He shrugs. Scrolls were rare in the world of shinobi, and most were lost. Thinking over the idea of signing the contract, Naruto thinks to himself what could be summoned. Outer Gods were out immediately, such mindless beings could not be controlled so why even bother, same went for Great Old Ones. While summoning such beasts would be impressive, the collateral damage alone would make the scroll useless for any competent ninja, there was the idea of the words Eldritch Beast, no specification on a particular being it could summon.
However in the end Naruto bit his thumb. Naruto may be a cautious child, but his curiosity was always greater. Applying the blood to the page Naruto signed the scroll slowly and carefully. As he backed away the scroll began to glow. Then a cloud of smoke.
Naruto could not breathe. Nor was his feet touching the ground. Some long webbed hand grasped his neck. As the smoke cleared Naruto stared at the Grayish-green being before him. It was some horrid hybrid of fish and frog. It's bulging eyes never blinked. It's belly white, and the palpitating of its neck suggested it had gills. It has long needle like teeth, almost as long and thin as a senbon.
"Who dares to summon Xel, keeper of the scroll".
The creature now identified as Xel looks closer to Naruto. As it inspects him it quickly puts him down.
"The eyes", it says as it bows to Naruto.
"Forgive my foolishness lord", says the creature as it gives it's rather unusual bow.
Naruto looks at the creature before him rubbing his neck.
"What. What are you", asks Naruto.
"I am Xel, and I am a Deep One, we are the children of Lord Dagon and Mother Hydra", says the Creature.
Naruto looks at the creature, he recognizes the name.
"Deep One, the immortal amphibious race, wow", says Naruto.
The creature stands, towering over Naruto by nearly four feet.
"You possess the Eyes of Azathoth, this can only mean you also possess the true Necronomicon. Written many eons ago by the crawling chaos. I am the keeper of the contract you now have signed. Should you have any questions for me oh lord all you have to do is but ask", says Xel.
Naruto looks at the scroll.
"Who else can I summon with it?", asks Naruto.
"The scroll allows you to summon those beings who are loyal to the Old Ones and Gods, The Deep Ones are but one race that can be summoned, the others are a mystery to us the only one I know of is the Shoggoth, anything else is yours to discover, oh lord", says Xel.
"Shoggoth?", says Naruto in surprise.
The Shoggoth were one of the creatures mentioned in the book that always intrigued Naruto. Built as slaves, before overthrowing their masters there tale was something Naruto admired both for their convictions and tenacity.
"There are others that may be called on but this scroll is young, and we know very little of it's true limits", says Xel.
Naruto nods.
"I can understand that, but if the scroll is so young do you know who made it", asks Naruto.
"Only one of the Great Old Ones or Outer Gods could do so. If they have chosen you to be our master, then we will obey our Gods".
"What do you know about the Eyes of Azathoth, I was angry at this man, and I think I showed him the true form of Azathoth, he went mad was it an illusion of some kind?" asks Naruto.
"No, it was not an illusion, just as the eyes allow you to see truth, so to can you show truth to others and Truth is a powerful thing. At your will you can reveal a number of things, all of it is truth. In essence based on what you show them, it will have different effects depending on there own sanity and what you decide to show them. I can only guess you used the power unconsciously and were thinking of Azathoth at the time", says Xel.
"That, makes allot of sense", says Naruto.
Naruto inspects the scroll before him one last time.
"Ok Xel, I thank you for your help. If there is anything else I need I shall call on you", says Naruto.
"Thy will be done, my lord", says Xel.
He picks up the contract and disappears in a haze of dark grey smoke. He looks to his clock seeing as time for the academy draws near Naruto prepares himself. He grabs his goggles facing them over the his eyes. Let it not be said Naruto cannot enjoy a good laugh, keep the secret until someone brings it up and then show them. Oh the looks on there face when they see Naruto has his own Dojutsu. Priceless.
Naruto places the loose board back on top the Necronomicon. The answers to his questions on the eyes has been answered so there is no need to read from it, at least not yet. Who knows when the ANBU sent to tail him would return.
Naruto walks through the streets His hood up, and his goggles on. He once again sees the colors of sound emerging from the trees. He ignores his followers and heads off to the academy. While he does so he begins to read the book Nobutoshi gave him. As he reads on the Sharringan he notes that to activate it, the user must be put in a life or death situation. Naruto turns the pages as his mind thinks back to the summoning contract. He would have to test it later. The ideas on what could be summoned flowed through his mind, thinking back on it, he begins to wonder if signing the contract was the right thing to do.
With his curiosity fulfilled he had been thinking it over again and again, but alas it was to late. All he could do now was test it. Making his way in the classroom Naruto drops his hood. He takes his seat as he waits for the day to begin. He waits for a while until both Iruka and Mizuki walk in.
"Ah, Naruto you're back. So how have you been", asks Iruka.
"Never better", says Naruto.
"Good to hear it", says Iruka.
"Naruto, I was wondering if you could show my your new eyes", asks Mizuki.
"I see no problem with it", says Naruto.
He removes his goggles noting the shocked reactions on both teachers faces.
"Impressive, but I have to ask. What were your plans on revealing it to the class", asks Iruka.
"Yes, you would not want them to be kept guessing all day as to the reason for the goggles", says Mizuki.
Naruto smiles.
"Well for a laugh, I thought I would ask if you would let me reveal it once everyone is here. I would love to see their reactions first hand. Besides I never was one to lie to people", says Naruto.
The two teachers chuckle.
"I'm not against it, and it would be a good lesson for the students that the Ninja World is full of surprises", says Mizuki.
"Well when you put it like that, I guess it is alright. Ok Naruto once everyone is seated we will call you to the front of the class to show them", says Iruka.
Naruto nods as he returns to his book. Slowly as the day passes the classroom fills several students look at Naruto with mild confusion. More than likely brought on by the week of absence and the goggles he now wore. Several even questioned Naruto. His answer was always the same.
"Just wait and all will be revealed", he said cryptically in an over dramatic manner.
When the final student entered the room all was quiet for a moment. Iruka was the first to speak.
"Now I know some of you have been more than a little curious over Naruto's absence. Well Naruto has something he'd like to show you all", says Iruka.
He motions for Naruto to come over which he does. He turns around to the front of the class.
"Over the past week I have had some tests on me done after I developed a completely unknown Dojutsu", says Naruto as he removes his goggles.
Looking at the gasps and looks ranging from impresses, shocked, to envy even Naruto continues his speech.
"They are Called the Eyes of Azathoth, they make me completely immune to Genjutsu, allow me to read any language, see sound, and they consume no chakra. The doctors say it may have other abilities but they do not know", says Naruto.
He was not lying. They didn't know. He did, but best to hold that information for now.
"Umm, how can you see sound", asks Sakura.
"I see sound as waves of color, it's called Synesthesia, I'm not the first to have it. Anyone can have Synesthesia, really it's just something my eyes gave me. Some people can taste sound, others like me can see it", says Naruto.
"How did you get those eyes", asks a voice in the back belonging to Sasuke.
"I just woke up and there they were", says Naruto.
He notes Sasuke look at him for a moment before turning back to the window.
Naruto smiles for a moment at the levels of tension coming from the room. There reactions were almost comical.
"So you have some new super cool eye thing, how did you get it. Did one of your parents have it or something", asks the Inuzuka, Kiba I believe.
Naruto looks to the ground for a moment, his shoulders slouch.
"I'm an orphan Kiba", says Naruto solemnly.
Looking up Naruto notes Kiba's expression as he tenses up.
"Umm, sorry Naruto", says Kiba.
Naruto takes in a deep breath.
"No it's fine you didn't know, I won't hold it against you", says Naruto.
He puts his goggles back on as he walks to his seat no longer caring to see the reactions on there face. He pulls out his book and begins to read. He can feel several eyes staring at him. He just ignores it and continues on with his book.
Throughout the day many students question Naruto on his eyes, or ask to see it more clearly. He would remove his goggles letting them see it for a moment and put them back on. It was nice being the center of attention among his peers for once. He still noticed Hinata blushing every time he came near. The shy girl wanted to ask Naruto about his eyes, or how he's been but could not muster up the courage. Naruto did not approach her, after all it would only send the girl into a shy nervous state, something Naruto tried to help her with, but so far with no luck.
Sasuke also seemed mindful of Naruto, the emergence of a new Dojutsu, one no one really knew a whole lot about was troubling. Naruto contemplated this, he didn't want Sasuke to feel threatened by him, perhaps threatened is too strong a word. perhaps if he were wo unlock his Sharringan all would go well, and Naruto had an idea how to do just that, but he had to be sure of many things before he even attempted such a thing.
As the students went home Naruto left towards a nearby training ground. He looked around for a moment, seeing the coast was clear he bit his thumb and slammed it on the ground. Concentrating on the image of a Shoggoth his mind did not focus on the idea long enough. He stared into the grey smoke where he was greeted with a curious sight. It was a strange creature best described as an Insectoid Horse, with membranous wings and what appeared to be a dragons head. Naruto looked at the strange creature trying to think of what it could be. Thinking of the passages in the Necronomicon he comes to a conclusion and blinks.
"Its a. A Byakhee", says Naruto.
Naruto looked at the strange creature. This flying animal was capable of flying through the vacuum of space at speeds exceeding light speed. This was accomplished by an organ called a 'hune' located in the creatures insectoid thorax. Not wishing to see if humans could survive such speed Naruto just watches as the creature moves around. It walks up to Naruto smelling him. After a few moments it kneels down. Naruto slowly climbs on the creatures back. After all the Byakhee does not have to go quite so fast right now. After bracing himself the creature takes flight.
Naruto stares at the ground as the creature flies around in circles above the field. Feeling the childlike sense of wonder as the creature flies with the grace and fluidity of an acrobat. Naruto flies higher and higher just above the clouds.
The air is thin and it is cold but Naruto does not care. He looks down on Konoha as the creatures wings flap. Then he commands the creature to land. It enters in a nose dive heading down toward the ground at impossible speeds. Then curves up to slow itself. It lands gracefully and Naruto gets off the creature, petting it's head. It dispels in a cloud of grey smoke. Naruto heads home feeling like he was untouchable. The hood stayed down. He did not care for the glares right now, they could not dampen his spirits. For the first time in a long time Naruto is care free.
