"Is there really no way at all? Think about it carefully."
It seems that Yi Shuihan's roasted meat had something to do with it, because the little pig actually started to think about it carefully.
"Ah! I've got it!" The little pig jumped up excitedly. "I've thought of a way, but before that, you have to answer one question for me seriously."
"what is the problem?"
"Are you very strong? How do you compare to a Chunin?"
The reason for this question is that the ancestor of the little pig made a pact with a Chunin.
"My strength? If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be 'strong,' in two words, 'very strong,' in three words, 'extremely strong,'" Yi Shuihan said seriously. "As for comparing myself to a Chunin, there's absolutely no comparison!"
"Could it be that they are far inferior to Chunin?"
"It far surpasses them. I can easily take care of a large number of Chunin. Not to mention Chunin, even Kage-level ninjas are just cannon fodder in my eyes."
Yi Shuihan spoke with the air of a lonely master, but to Little Fragrant Pig, his words didn't seem very convincing.
Chapter 262, Powerful Summoning Beasts
In order to get the little pig to talk, Yi Shuihan had to make a sacrifice and said, "Alright! I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I'm just a Chunin."
This time, the little pig finally believed it and said with satisfaction, "Although it's not perfect, your Chunin strength should be enough. Now there's a way to let you go back to the human world."
It paused here, and seeing that Yi Shuihan was listening attentively, it nodded in satisfaction and continued, "The method is to find a summoning beast race that has signed a treaty with humans, and then you also sign a treaty with them, so that the ninjas in the human world who have signed the treaty can summon you there."
"I see, that is indeed a solution." Yi Shuihan thought about it and admitted that what the little pig said made some sense.
However, this would mean becoming someone else's summoned beast. Although the agreement didn't restrict him much, it still caused some trouble, such as being summoned to a dangerous place when it was inconvenient.
Of course, there are solutions. You can either go and directly control the summoner, or simply kill the summoner.
As for the possibility of not being able to kill the summoner who signed the agreement, while it was certainly possible, Yi Shuihan recalled how Orochimaru's summoning beasts in the original work often threatened to kill him, so he knew that it wasn't impossible.
"Well, maybe things aren't so bad. If the summoner isn't strong enough, it seems they can't summon a powerful summoning beast. It's fine if they're willing, but if they're not willing, the other party can't force them to summon. With my strength, even the Hokage couldn't force me to summon if I didn't want to!"
Okay, I haven't thought of any solutions yet, so I'll just try what it says.
No wonder you asked about my strength. The world of summoning beasts is more clearly defined by the law of the jungle than the human world. If I were weak, those powerful summoning beasts that can sign agreements with humans certainly wouldn't help me!
"Or I could learn something from the scrolls on which they signed the agreement, create my own scroll, and then send it to the ninja world to choose my own contractors."
Yi Shuihan thought of many things, but none of them could be implemented now. Everything had to wait until he found those spirit beasts that possessed the scrolls before he could begin.
"So what suggestions do you have? Do you know of any suitable groups of summoned beasts nearby?"
"There's a powerful clan not far from here. They're incredibly strong. Shall we go and give them a shot?"
"Then let's go there."
Of course, it was impossible to just leave on a whim. At the little pig's insistence, Yi Shuihan once again transformed into a barbecue chef and roasted a full five fire rabbits before the little pig was satisfied.
I really don't know how a miniature pig can have such a big appetite. You know, a fire rabbit is not much smaller than a miniature pig. It can eat things several times its own size and there is no other reaction. Its digestive power is really strong.
Led by the little pig, Yi Shuihan crossed forests and mountains, passed a lake, and finally arrived at a waterfall.
"It's not that far, it's almost 100 li." Yi Shuihan glanced at the little pig with a speechless expression. It was only because of his strength that he could get here so quickly.
"Oh!"
"This is it, but why don't I see any beasts?" The little pig looked around.
"No need to look anymore, there's absolutely no living thing here." Yi Shuihan's senses were extremely powerful, so he was naturally not lying.
The little pig didn't believe Yi Shuihan's words. It didn't understand Yi Shuihan's methods at all. In its opinion, Yi Shuihan was probably just complaining.
But after the little pig had searched every mile around, almost digging three feet into the ground, and still found nothing, it finally realized the truth of Yi Shuihan's words.
"That shouldn't be the case! They were still here when I came last time," the little pig muttered to itself.
When was the last time you came here?
"It seems like it was 10 years ago."
The little pig's answer made Yi Shuihan want to facepalm. Ten years is a long time; things have changed, so it's normal for things to go wrong.
"Besides here, do you know of any other places with suitable targets?"
Yi Shuihan didn't care. After all, if he wanted to, finding a suitable beast wouldn't be difficult. These days, as long as you have the strength, you can go anywhere.
"Yes, yes, I know a few places, but they are all quite far from here."
The little pig's description of "far" was indeed true; it then traveled to three more places, each more than 1000 kilometers away.
Yi Shuihan could have arrived quickly on his own, but to accommodate the little pig's speed, it took him almost a month to reach the third place.
"This time it should be possible, right?"
"It shouldn't be wrong again."
The little pig sounded a bit guilty, because it had confidently assured everyone that it would definitely come, but each time it had failed to deliver.
"Indeed, there is no mistake. If it is them." Yi Shuihan was slightly surprised to sense several auras comparable to Black Iron 6-star and one that was close to Black Iron 7-star. It was indeed somewhat beyond Yi Shuihan's expectations that the summoned beasts could reach this level.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a world brimming with spiritual energy.
About 800 meters away from Yi Shuihan and the little pig, an eagle about 10 meters long was in a cave halfway up the mountain. Its sharp eyes were looking in the direction of Yi Shuihan, as if it could see Yi Shuihan's face clearly.
The 10-meter-long eagle wasn't the biggest; not far away, an eagle several times larger was sleeping quietly on the ground.
Further away, you can see eagles, which are only about 2 meters tall on average, flying in the air.
These are not all. Deep inside the cave is an eagle with a body length of 100 meters. Yi Shuihan sensed its aura approaching that of a Black Iron 7-star.
Yi Shuihan and the little pig arrived at the foot of the mountain, looked up at the towering peak that was thousands of meters high, and stopped.
"So how do we get up there?"
"Go up there!"
Under Yi Shuihan's rather surprised gaze, the little pig walked straight up the mountain with its limbs close to a 90-degree angle, as if it were walking on flat ground.
They had completely forgotten the classic use of chakra: gathering it under their feet to create a powerful grip, allowing them to do things that seem incredible to ordinary people, such as walking on water or standing upside down on a tree.
Chapter 263, Qualification
"This level of proficiency shows that the pig has a pretty good control over chakra." Yi Shuihan looked at the little pig that had easily walked a hundred meters uphill.
Trying to control his spiritual energy to do the same thing, he was a little lacking in control at first, leaving many deep footprints on the mountain. But in no time, Yi Shuihan was walking almost as well as the little pig, or even better.
"Hey, isn't that Eagle Zhun?" the little pig suddenly said, looking at the 10-meter-tall giant eagle on the mountainside.
Eagle's sharp eyes stared at the little pig, a hint of disdain deep within them. "What are you doing here? And you even brought a human with you!"
Speaking of humans, there was a hint of doubt in its eyes as it looked at Yi Shuihan. In its memory, humans who could come to the Spirit World were usually very strong and would be accompanied by ninja beasts.
Clearly, Yingzhun did not believe that the little pig was Yi Shuihan's ninja beast, and it did not feel any threat from Yi Shuihan, which made it underestimate Yi Shuihan a bit.
"Wow! That's really high! I'm exhausted." The little pig said, panting, after leaping into the cave. Its chakra reserves were only slightly higher than those of an ordinary genin, and it had already used up 7% of them by the time it got up there, so it was naturally feeling tired.
After the little pig, Yi Shuihan seemed quite relaxed, which was a stark contrast in Ying Zhun's eyes.
"It's like this, this human wants to use your contract scroll."
"A contract scroll! Does he want us to become his summoned beasts?"
The little pig's words brought a thoughtful, human-like look to Yingzhun's eyes.
For these summoning beasts, the summoning scroll is a very important thing. Generally speaking, in the ninja world, the previous generation of ninjas chooses their successors and then writes their names on the summoning scroll. Of course, the summoning beasts can also choose their own contractors.
Currently, their clan has no contractors left in the ninja world. The previous generation of contractors died several years ago, so they do need a new contractor to lead them to develop.
The reason why summoning beasts become ninjas' summoning beasts is that ninjas need summoning beasts as battle partners to improve their strength. After all, there are many types of summoning beasts, such as combat type, support type, and sensory type, which can be of great help to ninjas.
On the other hand, the summoned beasts also wanted to find a powerful partner. A powerful partner could provide them with things that the summoning world doesn't have, and could even help them fight against enemy races in the summoning world. It can be said that both sides had needs, which is why they hit it off.
"Perhaps we can let this kid give it a try."
Although Yingzhun felt that Yi Shuihan's strength was not as good as his own, Yi Shuihan looked relatively young and had potential for future development. Becoming a Jonin should not be a problem, and with a little more effort, becoming a Quasi-Kage was also possible.
As long as Yi Shuihan can break through to become a Jonin and become a Quasi-Kage, then he will not have disgraced the name of their Giant Eagle Clan.
"Then you all wait here for a moment, I'll go ask Elder Yingwu for his opinion."
After Ying Zhun finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared with a bang.
"They really are quite impulsive!" Yi Shuihan said speechlessly. It should be said that even with intelligence close to that of humans, these spirit beasts still don't understand tact and do things in a straightforward and direct way.
Time slowly passed as I watched the eaglets playing in the distance.
"The elder asked me to take you there, please come with me!"
The reason Yingzhun reappeared was to ask Yi Shuihan to see the elders. It seems that the matter is not too serious. As long as Yi Shuihan shows his strength, it will not be difficult to subdue the giant eagle clan as a spirit beast.
Since no one called for a miniature pig, the miniature pig didn't tactlessly follow.
The cave was very large and spacious. After all, the giant eagle clan itself was very large, so it was normal for the cave to be built so spacious.
Soon, Yi Shuihan met Elder Yingwu, whom Yingzhun had mentioned. This was a giant eagle about 40 meters long, with jet-black feathers that shone brightly and gave it a metallic feel.
"Human, is it you who wants to become a contractor of our race?"
The loud sound echoed through the cave, even producing a slight vibration.
Upon hearing this, Yi Shuihan shook his head, a gesture that immediately made the atmosphere serious. Yingwu stared straight at Yi Shuihan with its huge eyes, the dissatisfaction in its eyes seemingly materializing.
Even Yingzhun, who was standing to the side, looked very dissatisfied, with an unpleasant expression.
"It's not that I want to become a contractor of your clan, but whether you have a summoning beast that can become my summoning beast." Yi Shuihan said calmly. "To be honest, I am currently lost in the summoning world and have no way to go back. I came here to ask if there is any way for me to return to the ninja world."
"Who do you think you are, a Shadow-level expert? You need to consider our qualifications!" Eagle Zhun said unkindly, feeling strongly insulted by Yi Shuihan's words.
"Young man, before you do this, can you show me what qualifications you have to say such things?" Yingwu suddenly said. After all, it was an elder. It was originally very angry, but seeing Yi Shuihan's confident expression, it guessed that Yi Shuihan might be hiding his strength. If that was the case, then it would be forgivable for Yi Shuihan to say such things.
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, as long as Yi Shuihan is strong enough, no matter how arrogant he acts, it is all justified in the eyes of the spirit beasts.
To make things simpler, Yi Shuihan released a little of his aura.
Although it was only a brief moment, the overwhelming aura released by Yi Shuihan left a deep impression on Ying Zhun and Ying Wu. The feeling of being stared at by the Grim Reaper was not easy to forget.
"So he was hiding his strength after all? That kind of aura is something even our ancestors didn't have. Even a Shadow-level expert shouldn't have such an aura. Just who is he?"
Ying Zhun was stunned into silence, while Ying Wu was in better shape and could think clearly. However, the way he looked at Yi Shuihan was completely different from before, filled with awe.
"Shouldn't I be qualified to say that?"
Chapter 264, Reverse Spirit Spell
"Indeed, with your strength, sir, it would be our great fortune to become your summoned beasts." Eagle Tung's tone was somewhat flattering.
"Before checking your qualifications, tell me if there's any way to get me back to the ninja world." If there were a simpler way, Yi Shuihan would rather not return to the ninja world by being summoned.
"Are you joking, sir? With your immense strength, how can you not return to the ninja world?" Ying Wu looked at Yi Shuihan with suspicion, as if it were something very wrong for Yi Shuihan to say that he couldn't return to the ninja world.
In fact, what Yi Shuihan didn't know was that in the Summoning World, as long as a summoning beast is strong enough, it can go to the Ninja World on its own. Otherwise, how did the first summoning beasts come about?
The reason why the little pig didn't know that it could go to the ninja world on its own once it reached a certain level of strength was simply because it was too ignorant.
Similarly, if a ninja becomes powerful enough, they can move freely between the ninja world and the summoning world.
The aura that Yi Shuihan just displayed was far stronger than that of a Kage-level expert, which undoubtedly meant that he had long surpassed the standard. Therefore, in Ying Wu's view, Yi Shuihan was the kind of strong person who could freely travel between the Summoning World and the Ninja World.
"I really don't know how to get back! Come to think of it, coming into this world was also inexplicable." Yi Shuihan's tone was quite sincere.
Seeing that Yi Shuihan was not joking, Ying Wu believed him and said, "As long as you master the reverse summoning technique, you can return to the ninja world."
Yi Shuihan was delighted upon hearing this; if only it were really that simple.
"Then, could you teach me reverse spirit communication?"
Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's question, Ying Wu and Ying Zhun exchanged a glance before Ying Zhun spoke up, "In the clan, only our ancestor knows the reverse summoning technique. If you want to learn it, you'll have to ask our ancestor to teach you, or we have a method for cultivating the directional spirit communication technique, which you can learn on your own."
“Alright then, tell me the method of cultivation first, and I’ll give it a try. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll have to trouble your ancestor,” Yi Shuihan said after thinking for a moment.
Eagle Tung spat out a wet scroll from its mouth. "This is the scroll that records the directional summoning spell."
With a gentle wave of his hand, Yi Shuihan sent the scroll floating toward him. A stream of clear water appeared out of thin air around the scroll, washing it clean. The scroll quickly dried, and by the time it reached Yi Shuihan's hands, it was spotless and pristine.
"Ninjutsu without hand seals? As expected of the master." Ying Wu and Ying Zhun were both amazed by Yi Shuihan's skill.
Yi Shuihan didn't explain that this wasn't a ninjutsu at all, but a spell called the Cleansing Technique.
Upon opening the scroll, one finds a collection of handprints, along with accompanying descriptions.
"Hand seals! That's true. Most ninjutsu in this world requires hand seals to be released. Only a very few are hand seal-free ninjutsu. For this reason, ninjas start practicing hand seals from a young age, so their hand speed is very fast. Generally, you can't call yourself a ninja if you can't perform several hand seals per second."
The speed at which hand seals are formed is directly related to the release of ninjutsu, making it extremely important for ninjas. After all, every second counts in battle, and forming hand seals faster than the opponent means being able to release ninjutsu first, allowing for more ninjutsu to be used in the same amount of time, thus gaining the upper hand.
