Naruto: Child of Chakra

Chapter 61 - 61. Never Reveal Your Weakness



"BOOOM*

It was a stampede on the other side, all were on the ground and the red ribbon was inside Shiroken's side. He had won very easily. Saiken and Isobu were also shaken a little but they did not fall and crush people. Not that Shiroken would have let that happen. ​​

"HAHAHA... I have won, now get ready to wear dresses. Saiken and Isobu, you too will wear giant girly clothes." Shiroken announced.

Saiken tried to get away, "But we did not agree to that deal."

"But you joined the losing team that made the deal so it is also applied to you. Hehe, don't think you can get away with it. Old Kurosaki, where are you going? You also lost." Shiroken rounded everyone up.

This was the moment many were regretting competing with Shiroken. Many people wonder how they will work in their shops wearing girly clothes, they will become a laughing stock. But they calmed down realising everyone would be in the same situation.

The mood was immediately made cheerfully with loud instrumental music and food stalls opening with food ready.

All scattered to eat something. However, Kuronosuke's birthday was still needed to be celebrated. Although the little dragon was satisfied with his visit, the cake was still needed to be cut.

And who better person to make a cake than our milky boy Saiken? He specialised in giant cakes.

So soon a big wooden trolley was dragged into the plaza. On top of it was 10 metres tall, and a 6-meter diameter cake, covered with fruits, cherries and chocolates.

Kuronosuke read his name on top of the cake and got excited. He had never celebrated his birthday so grandiosely. Every year there were just 5 people to celebrate, as that was the population of his species.

Today, there were thousands. Not to mention he made friends with everyone. Haku, Shirajin, Rin, Shisui, Monari and the big tailed beasts were so kind to him.

"WAAA... IS THIS FOR ME?" He questioned with big excited eyes.

Shiroken flew beside him and patted his head, "Of course, this is your birthday cake. Come, let's cut it so we can have the drooling kids eat it sooner."

"YES!"

Kuronosuke was handed a sword soon, all people also gathered around the cake. The lights flickered around them and all turned silent.

Kuronosuke's giant dragon parents came and gathered around him. They all caressed him and smiled.

Looking at this, Shiroken felt envious to some degree. Although he always had the tailed beast to shower him with love, and there were also Monari and Jin, but he always felt something missing.

It didn't help knowing he was so different from normal humans. His body had no blood, no bones, he was just an empty shell posing as a human.

This made him question himself many times, ~What even am I?~

And this made him want to have a family of his own too, as he felt that would maybe make him feel like he was a human, maybe that would certify him as a human.

~*Sigh* I guess I should just focus on work and hope for the best.~

*Clap Clap Clap*

Kuronosuke cut the cake and loud claps started. The little Dragon shyly smiled and gave the cake to his parents.

After that, the royal chefs took it away to cut them into pieces and put them on biodegradable plates to be distributed.

Kurosaki hovered over Shiroken, "Thank you for making him happy. He was turning silent recently."

"Loneliness does make one silent. He found many friends here, also fun things to do. Hmm, why don't you just live in this country? You know, I'm trying to change this world to be tolerant towards the tailed beasts, and the country is the start." He offered him.

Kurosaki felt saddened for some reason, "I do not want to worry about my family's safety all the time. There are too many criminals running amok. Who knows someone might take a fancy on us, wanting to have our skin on a wall as their prize possession."

Shiroken felt bad for them, they didn't have it any easier than the tailed beasts. With a sigh, he consoled him, "Humans spread misery everywhere they go. Maybe I have a solution for your troubles, but you might not feel comfortable with it."

"What solutions?" Kurosaki inquired with interest.

Shiroken felt uncomfortable with it, but this was the best security measure he could think of. "I have become the tailed beast's Jinchuriki with an open seal. It is a seal that has conditions attached to it. In which if they are forced by someone to do bad or if their life is in danger they will be sealed inside me, other times they can do whatever they want outside."

Kurosaki's eye twitched, if he didn't know Shiroken for the past few hours he would've tried to kill him for suggesting this.

"This will be akin to getting myself enslaved with some conditions applied." He replied disappointedly.

Shiroken had an idea, "WHAT IF... I edit the condition and make it so I cannot enslave any of you, or force you into the seal? You can stay free always, only when you are in danger will you be sealed."

*Sigh*

"I appreciate it, I will talk with my family first," Kurosaki said.

"BIG BROTHER! here, cake." Haku ran up to him with others behind him.

"Ah, Haku, are you studying well? Zabuza will soon be coming here, don't forget your promise to defeat him." He reminded him.

Haku punched his chest, "YES! I learned many good things. Look, I can make an ice field and make people slip. Hehe, I mistakenly turned the classroom floor icy once and all of us played that day by skating on it."

Shiroken noticed the envious gaze of Kuronosuke. Of course, he also wanted to experience some fun. "Kuronosuke, you can also join the school later. But for now, your grandpa and parents need to talk with each other. So don't feel sad today while returning home."

*BAM*

Kuronosuke hugged Shiroken's chest, "Thank you, big brother. Today was the best day of my life."

"Haha, you're just 5 years old, you haven't seen much life anyway. Now go with your Grandpa." He cheered him on.

Soon the festival started to end, Saiken went to his farm to check on the cows. Isobu went to check the fish, he was afraid someone would steal them.

As everyone started packing up to go home, 300 kilometres in the sea, a certain shark-like man was looking at the village through special binoculars.

"Why the hell do we have to watch from so far away? We could've joined the festival. I can only see those big guys from here." The shark-like man complained.

There was another person beside him, red eyes with jet-black hair, pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin.

"Then we would've died. Let's go, we were told to only make sure he's here." He said and left.

...

The next day, Shiroken prepared to head to find Chomei. He had spent enough time at home and everything was stable.

"Are you sure you don't want to take anyone this time?" Monari asked him at the palace.

"Well, Shisui is coming, don't you consider him somebody?" He jokingly asked.

"You know what I meant. At least let me come along." She requested.

However, Shiroken sternly denied, "No, Shirajin needs the love of his parents. And I can do this alone. Chomei is in Takigakure, I will just look for this village from the sky."

"You... You have become stubborn. Fine, but contact us sooner. Or maybe speak to Saiken or Isobu to transmit words for us." She nagged him.

*PAT*

Shiroken patted her head, "Fine fine... Now go to your son, woman."

"What did you say? I may be younger than you but I'm still your elder." She stomped her feet.

Shiroken laughed and just flew away while holding Shisui's arm.

"So, I guess our adventure will continue, Shisui. The adventures of an old young man and the blind Uchiha. Recommend something to make this adventure more fun, boy," Shiroken said cheerfully.

Shisui was blind, he hated flying as it confused his senses, "This blind Uchiha wants nothing but to touch the ground."

"Hahaha... What did you say? You wanna fly faster? HERE WE GOOOO... *WOOSH*"

Shisui felt his heart nearing his mouth and regretted forgetting the number one rule of working with strangers, ~Never reveal your weakness.~
