The Immortal Sage

Naruto stood outside the building looking at the humans with wings go about their business, 'I wonder how did this happen.'

'Let's not get distracted, I need to find the way home. Grandpa is going to be worried to death with this sudden absence.' Naruto thought as he extended his senses to find a trace but he could not locate it accurately as he felt it in many places at the same time, disappearing from here to there

'What is this weird occurrence?' Naruto mused as he opened his eyes and he saw that Sikong Hongyue stood beside him along with another man

"Young master I will be your escort, my name is Sikong Jue. You may command me as you wish within the limits." The man introduced himself with a formal tone

"I will also be accompanying you master, if you have anything to ask please do not hold back." Sikong Hongyue said with a sweet smile

"Understood, follow me as you wish but do not cause trouble." Naruto said in calm tone as he jumped through the trees at a speed where they could follow him as he headed for the nearest location where he felt the pulse.

While at the back Sikong Hongyue was coming back to her senses as the affect of his suggestions through chakra were being lost as unlike Shen Xiu this girl was more morally dead with more experience towards cruelty. Her original personality was coming to light but even then she felt fear of Naruto as he was too strong for her and she didn't trust the guard to be strong enough for the task.

'F.u.c.k.i.n.g bastard tried to brain wash me.'

'I will make sure you will be dancing on my palm like a slave, Master.' Sikong Hongyue stared intensely at Naruto

'How annoying this girl will have to be brought back through high exposure and lower exposure to that fat lard of trash.' Naruto thought as even his patience was being tested surrounded by filth that grated on his senses, it was like being surrounded by trash and not cleaning house.

Finally the destination came in sight and he stopped some distance from it, "Whose territory is this?"

"Black Dragon Family, if you wish to enter there will be no problem. We have good relation with them." Sikong Hongyue replied with a smile

'Seriously even in this dead world, can they not be civil.' Naruto completely understood what kind of relation they had and it didn't set well with him

"Let's go then" Naruto muttered with a controlled tone and dashed forward until they came to face the guards but once they saw Sikong Hongyue they bowed and let them continue

'I can feel resignation and fear from them so they are just as expected.' Naruto looked at the paranoid guards and continued towards the mountain area where he felt the faint trace

'Is there really something important in this area?' Sikong Hongyue thought as she looked at Naruto move around frantically

Finally he felt that he found the place and he smashed his fist into the mountain causing it to explode and made a hole. As the dust left he could see a passage and he walked inside with hastened steps but when he arrived it was too late the trace disappeared as he saw the vein like crystals that had shined for a second but now they were powerless.

'Does this energy travel between them?'

'What is the connection between the trap and it?' Naruto thought as he touched the walls, he couldn't understand these writings and drawings as they had faded a lot with time.

'What is this place? I should tell this to father, he has proved his usefulness at least.' Sikong Hongyue thought as she looked at the walls and her gaze was attracted to the bird shaped being but she felt resistance from it and couldn't go towards it.

'What's happening?' She thought with astonishment as Naruto moved around the place with no reaction or problem along Sikong Jue

"What's wrong?" Naruto questioned as he saw Sikong Hongyue struggling in place with her hand extended

"Nothing, just mind your business." She snapped

"Okay" Naruto moved away but he knew something was happening and he headed for the bird shaped being on the wall, trying to find anything special with it while enjoying the reaction from the girl

'Damn asshole, he is doing this on purpose.'

'Naruto this is the place where Valdur fell, this should be the place where he chooses his heir.' Naruto heard the voice of Magna filled with joy at seeing at an old friend

'So there are more of you guys, don't tell me even the evil of your time can exist as well.'

'Possible as there were many strong and strange beings in our time so be on guard but Valdur is very useful ally so help his heir if you come across him.'

'I think I know who it is.' Naruto thought as he looked towards Sikong Hongyue

'That girl, how can that be?'

'I don't know but she is the only one reacting. For now it seems she doesn't qualify so you want me to help her.' Naruto said with a glance at the girl who was still struggling

'Help her as it is his choice. Valdur represents light so you might have to work extensively on her tainted personality or else she might be erased soon with the blessing on her head.' Magna said in calm tone not caring for the girl's survival

'I will do my best, who knows I might need her help.' Naruto said with a chuckle as he moved away from the wall

"Let's go there is nothing here." Naruto muttered as he walked away

"Young master do you wish to rest, it is night time already and the nightmare beasts will be in frenzy at this time." Sikong Jue advised as he didn't wish to get hurt for an outsider who might kill him at the opportunity

"Very well let's stay here for the night." Naruto said as he dashed towards the city of the Black Dragon family

'I also don't wish to show most of my skills or else they will know more prepared for my actions.' Naruto mused as he walked into the city, it was more down to earth than the Silver wing family's and the people seemed to be better
