The Shadow of Konoha

Since Sansho said so, there was no need for Hanyu to be hypocritical. Under her guidance, Hanyu pierced his fingertips and wrote his name on the scroll with his own blood.

Then, Sansho taught Hanyu the seal of the summoning technique.

"Pay attention, there is no need to inject too much chakra when performing the jutsu, and there is no need to summon it to too large a volume." Then, Sansho gave another reminder.

In many ways, this was just Hanyu's first trial summoning. It was not for any combat mission, nor was it under any emergency situation, so there was no need to make a big fuss.

In terms of the level of learning, the summoning technique is not one of those unreasonably difficult space-time ninjutsu. On the contrary, its difficulty is only C-level, so it does not require much learning cost to be mastered.

The preciousness of this technique lies in the fact that, firstly, powerful chakra summoning beasts are hard to come by, and ordinary ninjas simply cannot come into contact with such giant beasts; secondly, opening the summoning channel and summoning the giant summoning beast from a very distant space requires a huge amount of chakra, which is something ordinary ninjas cannot afford.

Just imagine that some of the tailed beasts that are particularly embarrassing to the tailed beast community would actually be pinned to the ground and rubbed by the Fourth Hokage's summoning frog in an incomplete state. This can actually illustrate the latter's strength.

Hanyu put his hands together and began to make seals.

Then, a small psychic beast appeared from the summoning circle, and it was actually blue and white stripes ...

It was a slug, reportedly a slug called "Living Slug".

Its body seemed to be so large that it was unimaginable and beyond the limits of biological life, so that it could only be trapped in the Wet Bone Forest among the three secret realms. The slugs summoned through summoning magic each time were only a tiny part of its body.

The slug that Hanyu summoned now was only half the height of a person when half-standing up, and its overall length would not exceed Hanyu's height.

After the summoning technique was successful, the scene fell into an awkward situation for a while... because Hanyu had never had the experience of communicating with such a non-human creature that could speak human language. The slug naturally didn't know Hanyu, but fortunately, after moving the antennae on its head, it immediately found Sansho standing next to it.

"Lord Sansho, what do you want me to do?" The slug said to Sansho. Although it is difficult to tell whether this soft-bodied creature has a gender, the sound it makes is female, and...

The bass is sweet, the midrange is clear, the treble is accurate, ethereal and transparent.

With such a sound, what's there to be dissatisfied about?

"Katsuyu, the one who summoned you is my disciple. His name is Hanyu Yu, and he will be your contractor from now on." Sansho showed the spiritual contract scroll to the slug, and then rolled it up again.

"I understand, Sansho-sama. So...Hanyu-sama?"

"Hello...Hello." Hanyu quickly responded.

This kind of summoned beast, which has intelligence not inferior to that of humans, needs the consent of the other party to become its contracted ninja even if it signs a contract. They will not respond to summons that go against their will. But in the case of the slug, although it is powerful and intelligent, it did not set any tests for its new contracted ninja, but completely obeyed Sansho's orders.

The slug's personality is just like her voice, extremely gentle and calm. Although in terms of seniority, it is the kind of old senior who has no friends, but it is the kind of spiritual beast that will completely obey its master... Unlike the two of the "Three Horrors" who like to smoke, drink and perm their hair, if you really want to say, it has a Nadeshiko-like personality.

Sansho continued, "There are some problems with Hanyu right now. To put it simply, his chakra is increasing beyond his limit. Katsuyu, what you need to do is absorb the excess chakra from him and ensure that Hanyu 's chakra does not get out of control. Keep his chakra within a safe range."

This is indeed a way of dealing with it, and it is much more reliable than Hanyu himself using ninjutsu to consume chakra.

Furthermore, the slug can temporarily absorb and store Hanyu's chakra for a longer period of time, and even return it when necessary... This is much better than wasting it like Hanyu did.

"That is to say, until Hanyu's physique can completely adapt to the growth of its own chakra, the Katsuyu clone will always be by your side." Sansho said to Hanyu again.

"...Is this possible? I heard that summoned beasts cannot be summoned for a long time. In theory, there should be a time limit for summoning, right?"

Hanyu did not feel any inconvenience in keeping the slug around as a rechargeable battery, and it was of great help to him. But the problem was that Hanyu was worried whether the slug could "stay there continuously".

"If I maintain this size, I can stay here for several days or even ten days without any problem. Then I can return the part of my body that stays here to the Wet Bone Forest and replace it with a new clone." Katsuyu split off a forearm-sized part from its body, then climbed up Hanyu's body to his shoulder, and then whispered this in his ear.

With a body size like this, it would naturally be more convenient... This is the characteristic of the slug that is completely different from other psychic beasts. It can split infinitely. There is only one , but in fact there are infinite ones.

With the huge size of the slug itself, it can accommodate not only Hanyu's extra chakra, but even the chakra of the tailed beast, so this is not a problem. And now according to its own statement, there is no problem with endurance...

"It seems that the problem has been solved?" Sansho said this. The summoned beast is very suitable for Hanyu's current situation. Her decision is appropriate.

But then, she handed the organized spiritual contract scroll to Hanyu again.

"Teacher Sansho…what is this?" Hanyu was confused.

"Leave it with you. It's of no use to me. There's no suitable successor to the Senju, and soon there won't be any Senju left in Konoha." Sansho actually handed the entire scroll to Hanyu, which the latter never expected.

No wonder Sansho said before that there was no problem with Hanyu signing his name on this scroll. It turned out that she had already planned to give him the ownership of the scroll... or at least the custody of it.

"Mr. Sansho, this is too much... If it comes to the successor, wouldn't Tsunade be just the right person?"

"Tsunade is still young, so it is my decision to give the scroll to you. But whether to return it to its original owner is up to you." Sansho smiled and patted Hanyu's shoulder, as if she didn't care at all about the meaning of the scroll itself. She pushed the scroll into Hanyu's arms, ignored his reaction, and turned to walk out of the woods.

Hanyu stayed there for a while, then he reached out and touched the back of his head awkwardly.

It was such an unexpected gift that I received.

Along with the "great gift" came an inexplicable heavy responsibility and a teacher's endless expectations for his students.
