The Shadow of Konoha

Sansho casually stuffed such an important thing into Hanyu's hand, and then she left the woods with a smile a little later.

Hanyu was holding the scroll of the summoning contract like a sack . After standing there for a while, he realized that he had taken something very hot. Standing there was not a solution. He had to think about how to deal with this thing.

The problem was that he really didn't know what to do with it or where to put it.

First of all, Hanyu definitely cannot carry such a huge scroll around the battlefield, as that is the power and ability only the boss has. Hanyu cannot guarantee that he can protect this scroll under any circumstances and ensure that it will not be lost, robbed or damaged.

As for leaving it in the front-line camp or returning it to the Hidden Leaf Village, Hanyu also felt that it was unsafe. Such a place that he could not always watch over and was semi-open and without complete protection measures was not suitable for protecting such a rare scroll.

"Master Hanyu, my true form is a giant slug that lives in the Wet Bone Forest, one of the three secret realms. I have lived there for so long that I can't remember how many years I have lived there. By staying by your side, I can absorb your excess chakra, and if you need me for combat, you can continue to summon me... As for the summoning ritual, depending on the amount of chakra you inject into the summoning formation, you can summon parts of my body of different weights and volumes - the size of my summoned body can basically be considered unlimited."

After Sansho left, Katsuyu introduced himself to his new contracted ninja.

No matter how powerful a person's chakra is, it is impossible . This has never happened once... Even if someone's chakra is really strong enough to have the ability to summon the slug as a whole, does such a powerful person still need the slug when fighting?

So what it says is correct.

Oh, right, the Wet Bone Forest!

After the slug's reminder, Hanyu reacted instantly. He said to Katsuyu that was leaning on his shoulder, "Katsuyu, can I go to the Wet Bone Forest?"

Through the reverse spiritual communication technique, Hanyu can certainly reach the Wet Bone Forest, but the underlying meaning of his question is whether he will be allowed to go to the Wet Bone Forest... Although Hanyu now has the contract scroll in his hand, whether he can go to a secret place like the Wet Bone Forest still depends on the attitude of the owner of that place.

"It's okay, Lord Hanyu, of course you can go to the Wet Bone Forest. Since you have signed your name on the scroll and obtained the right to keep it, it means that you are the heir authorized by Lord Sansho. This means that the Wet Bone Forest is open to you. However... why do you want to go to the Wet Bone Forest so soon? Are you curious or wanting to visit?" Even though Hanyu asked such a question abruptly, the slug still did not show any resistance. The only thing it wanted to know was the reason why Hanyu wanted to go to the Wet Bone Forest.

"The so-called secret realm is naturally the most mysterious corner in the world. Of course, I am also interested in visiting it, but... there will be a chance to see the Wet Bone Forest sooner or later, so there is no need to rush." Hanyu was just asking casually. He was not the kind of person who would be easily driven by curiosity. Therefore, Hanyu would not go to the Wet Bone Forest for the time being.

Then he patted the spiritual scroll in his arms and continued, "I just want to put this scroll in the Wet Bone Forest temporarily. Placing it in the secret realm must be much safer than any other place I know of."

Hanyu naturally wanted to see the so-called secret realm, but now was not the time for him to indulge his curiosity. After all, firstly, he was not a member of the Senju tribe, and secondly, he was a ninja who had just signed a summoning contract with the slug. Generally speaking, the trust between the two parties was based on the bond given by Sansho, and therefore it was very limited.

If Hanyu proposed to take a thorough tour of the Wet Bone Forest and learn the secrets of that secret realm, Katsuyu would probably not stop him given his character, but he didn't need to do that... That was something that would come naturally after both sides got to know each other better. Hanyu was not in such a hurry, and there was no need to ruin his experience with the summoned beast.

"Oh, so that's what you think... Indeed, if we put the scroll in the main body of the Wet Bone Forest, it will be much safer than leaving it outside." Katsuyu understood what Hanyu meant, so its body split into two again. One of them climbed down Hanyu's shoulder and pressed its body against the scroll of the spiritual contract. Then in an instant, it disappeared from the spot along with the scroll.

The remaining slug shook its tentacles and said , "It has been sent back to the main body. The scroll will be kept safe."

After placing the scroll in the Wet Bone Forest, Hanyu no longer has to worry about how to keep it. The scroll of the summoning contract is kept by the contracted summoning beast. What is there to worry about?

Then, Hanyu also walked out of the woods and returned to the Konoha camp.

Katsuyu staying on his body will help him control his own chakra amount to avoid excessive leakage, but this must be the first time Katsuyu has encountered such a weird practice. It has seen many people with a lot of chakra, but this is the first time that the summoning beast, which has lived for who knows how many years, has seen a situation where the growth rate of chakra exceeds the growth quality of the body... Weird people will get the most weird diseases.

Then, Hanyu returned to the camp with a slug on his head, causing the ninjas he met along the way to look at him sideways, as if Hanyu had done something both immoral and perverted.

Stupid guys, can you appreciate this plump body? Do you know how nice the sound of a slug is?

Well, they couldn't understand. Hanyu returned to his tent, searched around, and found a large, light gray haori. He put it on over his ninja uniform to cover up the slug that had been clinging to his body.

Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient to expose his summoning beast to the eyes of others. Even if he didn't worry about the impact of public opinion, Hanyu still had to consider the confidentiality of the summoning technique.

Ninjas like to hide their secrets, but they don't always do so on their own initiative. Just like what is happening with Hanyu now, isn't he forced to wear such mismatched clothes?
