After speaking with the chiefs and a day went by, while I'm in my own tent laying on the ground floor with fur and fire in the middle. I stared at the furs that are keeping the cold out. I learned a lot about skagos and what's going on.
The three houses, Crowl, Stane and Magnar all involved themselves in slavery. Selling there own people and the wilding that come from the lands of winter. There strength are there numbers. Each house can bring two thousand(2000) men to war.
The rocks clan can bring the most about, one housand five hundred men(1500). The black seals one thousand four hundred men(1400). The frost wolves one thousand three hundred men(1300). Four thousand two hundred(4200) we have against six thousand(6000) men. Let's not forgot the slavers they would also bring a couple hundred to back up the houses.
After thinking for some time memories started to flash or fragments from my life in uzukagure. The ash and smoke coming from the buildings. Bodies of cloud, mist, sand litter the ground around me, crips bodies of uzumaki thanks to the suicide seals while some didn't get to used them.
My grandfather found me and did complex seals, once's I never seen before and before he sent me away. He sealed something on the hilt of my sword.
As the thought came to mine I quickly got up and grab my sword that was leaning on one of the pillars that's holding the fur tent up. I can see the seal that he put on. I channeled some chakra into the hilt.
Poof. White smoke came from the hilt but a storage seal came out and landed on the palm of my hand. As I grip the storage seal I slowly unwrapped the seal.
I can see seals written down and labels for food, weapon and armour. Some coin and uzumaki metal about two grates full. Two dozen armour and couple hundred kunai an senbon. Storage scrolls about ten of them, with paper and a couple medium sized bottles of ink. I quickly sealed most of the stuff back into the scroll but not the fuinjutsu scroll.
After reading and relearn the basic fuinjutsu I began to understand more. As I looked out the tent I can see the light began to fall and night started to rise. I closed the tent and quickly got ready and left the tent to head towards the main building where all the chiefs are.
As I'm passing through the the city of tents I can see the people eyeing me. Kids following me from behind but their quite aways from me. I can see the main building not far and can see a large number of people surrounding the building.
When I made my way towards the crowd infront of me, the people following me also attracted more people to look my way. People started to move out the way, making way for red hair child. As I finally got to the door the people at the entrance opened the door for me. As I walked into the building a wave a warm feeling hit me because of the hearth in the centre of the building.
I looked around a notice mostly everyone looking to one side and I did the same. I seen it what everyone looking at, it was a giant. Fur covering his body standing at 13 ft tall. Speaking in old tongue to rollo.
I made my way towards rollo and he sees me, he motion me to come towards him and I did. I can see the giant eyeing me and his eyes squinted at me then went back to rollo.
Rollo didn't look into the giants eye nor did I. They spoke for some time till the giant went to go sit down. Rollo turned to me and spoke. "That red hair is Meg magnar of the giants."
"Giants? There's more." Hanzo ask in a surprised voice.
"You got that. Yes there more about 20 at least. 5 children, 7 woman giants and 8 men giants. There were more about a hundred but the houses drove them from there valleys and hunted them down. Now there is only twenty left."
"Now they came here… if they came here there's no where els to go. If they know your here. Do they also know?"
Rollo didn't say anything and looked at the red hair kid before him. "Aye I can see it. They might know that means we don't have that much time left."
"Yeah we don't."
"We?"
Hanzo looked at him and everyone in the building. "Aye you heard me. I'll fight with you. By now you should know what I can do thanks to your brother. He should have told you how I handle guys your age when I freed him and his group. I'm no ordinary child rollo."
"I know red hair. But we don't have enough men. There's still clans in the outer islands a dozen at least."
"Aye you got a point, let's not forget that they are also getting hit hard with those slavers as you are if not more. They don't have mountains or sharp rocks surrounding your island. Those dozens clans are maybe reduced to four to five clans maybe less."
Rollo didn't like what he heard but can't deny them he knows it's worse because they can just head more inland deep into the mountains. The island clans can head more inland but how far. "That's true red hair. But we can't dismiss them we will need everyone."
Hanzo looked at him and nodded. "Aye no doubt about that. Send me I'll get there faster then anyone here. I'll need something to let the other clans know I'm not leading them into a trap."
"What!" As Hanzo and rollo talked both chiefs looked at each other before moving towards them. They only caught bits and pieces of there conversation. When they came upon them they spoke. "What is this about clans."
Hanzo looked at alysanne " rollo talking about uniting all the clans but that mayhaps the other houses know of this place. Since giants came and they went everywhere els in the island, now there here." Both chiefs didn't know what to say about that. They both look towards the giant siting down and looked back at Hanzo and rollo.
"You said you will go alone why."
"I'm fast alone. I can get to the islands before any of your people can. And we might not have months before the houses close in on us. I just need something from each of you so they know it's not a trap."
~timeskip~
Strong winds passes as Hanzo cloak as it flaps in the wind as he stares at the sea before him. Sees the sharp rocks crashing against the waves.
As Hanzo puts away the scroll that he was hold back into his seal that on his wrist. He leans forward as he fall off the tip of the mountain towards the sea. The winds whips pass Hanzo face and the reaching winds clash. The cloak on Hanzo back whips wildly in the wind.
The land is coming upon Hanzo fast but he doesn't flinch, when he was about to hit the ground. He disappears and reappears again on top of one of the sharp rocks protruding from the sea. As he balances on his heel looking outwards towards the islands of skagos.
In the distance he can she silhouettes maybe four or three. Hanzo jumps off the rocky and lands on the sea. It's his first time standing on the sea, one his his foot fell in the cold sea water but he quickly got the hang of it.
Not to much not not to little either. He took slow steps forward to get used to it. As he walked on the sea he smiled. His steps started to get fast and faster till he was running on the water.
As he got close to the silhouettes in the distance he sees ships four of them. One was just hiding beside one another. He can tell he was seen as the ships started to turn and people where moving on top of the ships.
He unsheaths his blade as it's grazes the sea leaving small splashes against his blade. As he closes in he sees arrows fly towards him.
He deflected two or three before jumping up and landing on one of the ships. People on the deck freeze at the sight of him. As he was just on the water now he's on the ship.
In the other ships notice this too and we're helpless to do anything. As screams can be heard on the ship the red hair boy jumped on.
Then they heard it, nothing as it gone quite on the ship beside them. Entail they seen him stand on the railings of the ship. A red hair boy with his sword drawn and ready to use,
~timeskip~
As Hanzo gazes the island infront of him he sees black smoke inland. He looks back and sees his clone steering the ship while the others are checking the ships or the mast. He signal to his clone to move towards the land. But that's not all the ships were also carrying supplies, weapons and armour. Enough provisions to last five months and furs to help with the snowy climate.
As the galley dock just off the coast near the shore Hanzo jump off the ship and landed on the water. He walked towards the land and headed straight to the black smoke he seen earlier. After some time travelling through the woods and finding a trail he followed to a ruin village. Couple stone structures now burned and staned with ash, wooden buildings burnt to the ground and still smoking. Embers can still be seen in some parts still glow red.
After walking around the burnt villages he uses his chakra to pulse like a wave every five seconds. He feels the outline of the structures and the dead bodies the lay on the ground. Then he feels it a faint signature at the back of the village, in the woods couple of them.
Hanzo disappears and leaves only leaf's behind where he once stood. On the outskirts of the village Hanzo appears from behind a burnt building. He doesn't give it one look before heading to those signatures he felt just a moment ago.
After travelling through the trees he feels them moving more away from him but not quickly enough. Hanzo disappears and lands somwhere infront of them to cut off there escape.
He waits but not for long as six people step out from the bushes. He hears them talking but can't make out what there saying. But from there clothes he sees he knows there the island clans members. Rough fur and crude weapons.
Hanzo steps out from the tree to make him self know which they already reacted to. All six of them drew their weapons and pointed at me. I only raised one hand up. "Don't. I came from skagos, the chiefs sent me to… ask if you would join use against those houses."
No one from the other group spoke as the circled Hanzo and still pointed there spears, bow and swords at the red hair kid.
The woman with the bow spoke first. "The clans… rocks clan?"
"Yes. I saved the chief brother from being sold into slavery. I was tasked to bring the island clans to distroy the three houses and what ever slavers stays."
One by one the six people put there weapons down until the woman with the bow was the last. The woman spoke again "You came from skagos how did you get here? They rule the sea with there ships."
"I stole there ships and brought them here, there at the coast dock. Is there any other clans?" Hanzo ask.
She got a sad look on her face as did everybody els in her group. "There's three left the rest died or taken to be sold. That village was our last hold out. They came but we got most out. That last clan is further north near the tip of the island."
Hanzo nodded in understanding and didn't like what he heard. "How many clans were they before they came."
"There was 12 clans… now there only three. The people that got away and warned the other clans, they got swallowed into the remaining three clans. Follow we go to the clansmen and get the last clan.
Hanzo nods and doesn't say anything els. We started walking more inwards passing forests and hills till we came across tents. We came into one of the bigger tents we can see two people talking. One man lean but tall and the other a tall woman but she has curves the shape her body even under all that fur.
Both look at the entrance and see there group and a red hair child with a weird looking sword at his hip.
The woman in the bow went up to the lean man and a man from the group went towards the woman. Both listen to them and went with there own clansmen.
The lean tall man spoke first. "My warrior said you came from skagos… this true?"
"Yes. Name is Hanzo Uzumaki. I came here to unite to remaining clans on the islands and free any people that we come across. If that's not enough here." Hanzo reach into his pocket and pulls out the three thing the chiefs gave him.
The objects were, a horn from the rocks clan. A black dagger from the black seals. The frost wolves have him a silver battle axe.
No one spoke. The woman walk first and knelt and grab the dagger. "I seen this before. The chiefs came here long ago and the chief then had this."
"Aye the axe an horn I know. It's true." Both look at this red hair kid. "They trust you enough to do this."
"They don't have any other choice. The houses are closing in. And the fleet I raided had supplies enough to last five months. That can last five. The giants also joined before I left."
"Giants! They joined."
"Yes. Now come we have to leave before they come back. Before we leave how many men can you bring to war."
Both looked at each other and back at the Hanzo. "Together we have 300 men can fight.
Hanzo nodded and left the tent. Not the number he wanted to hear but maybe the last clan will have more. Was Hanzo thought.
After leaving the foresty area and headed to the coast to look for the last of the clans.
