Look up at the sky, the moon is smiling~
Look down at the ground, and you see Great Serpent leaping!
With the Summoning Beast Xiti, Kyosuke's life was incredibly comfortable.
At first, he stood at the snakehead and gave random, incoherent instructions. Later, he even found standing too tiring, so he grabbed a small mat and lay down on it.
His leisurely demeanor made his subordinates, who could only move their legs, extremely envious.
"Sir, I've heard that Xiti comes from a legendary, mysterious holy land?" a subordinate began to probe indirectly.
"Yes." Lying on the broad head of the snake, Kyosuke still couldn't help but sigh.
Orochimaru once said that the White Snake Sage had an eccentric personality and was very difficult to communicate with.
But he felt that the person wasn't at all like Orochimaru described.
Knowing that he liked to lie on Xiti's back, the White Snake Sage specially adjusted the contract, using his own Senjutsu Chakra to greatly extend the Summoning Beast's lifespan.
Otherwise, Kyosuke wouldn't be living such a comfortable life.
Kyosuke glanced sideways at his smiling subordinate, spat out a grape skin with a "pfft," stretched, and leisurely asked, "Want to sign Summoning Contract with Ryūchi Cave?"
"Yeah yeah."
Signing a contract with the Three Great Sage Lands is exceptionally difficult.
However, the White Snake Sage seems quite easy to talk to; if we discuss it carefully, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Rumors can be deadly! She's such a kind-looking old lady, yet they say she has a strange personality. I think Orochimaru isn't always reliable either."
He promised he would consider asking, and then waved his subordinate away.
After eating and drinking his fill and getting a good rest, Kyosuke decided to actively seek out a few waves of enemies to warm up and practice his skills.
Instead of finding the enemy, he suddenly sensed that a certain Flying Thunder God's Space Coordinates were wandering across the battlefield.
At first, Kyosuke thought someone had picked up his Kunai, but when he focused his senses, his expression suddenly changed.
"How did this girl end up on the battlefield?"
With a simple instruction, Kyosuke immediately Flying Thunder God to teleport to the vicinity of the coordinates.
Pushing aside the branches and leaves that were obscuring him, he discovered the person carefully hiding under the tree—it was indeed that bean sprout Mito Uzumaki.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Ah!" The sudden sound from behind startled the Ponytail the bun.
With the two talismans dangling from her hair, the little girl turned around angrily, looking like she wanted to pounce on him and bite him.
"You scared me to death!" she said, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
After a moment of silence and eye contact, Mito couldn't help but sigh and say, "I came here with my father, and he has already devised a way to deal with you."
"What method? Are you going to ask for an exorbitant dowry to scare me to death?"
"... Can't you be serious?" Surprisingly, Mito wasn't shy at all, but instead explained with concern, "Remember, you once left behind many kunai with the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Kunai Technique in the Land of Whirlpools."
"Yes, your father kept them as treasures?"
The Ponytail Princess, pretending not to hear, continued, "After dedicated research, Father successfully developed a seal that blocks Space-Time Ninjutsu."
Hearing this, Kyosuke finally took it seriously, and at the same time, he understood why Mito had run into the battlefield like a thief.
She probably didn't want anything to happen to him, so she secretly slipped out to deliver the message.
This girl...
Jumping down from the treetop, Kyosuke reached out and ruffled the little girl's red hair, then asked with a smile, "And then, what does your father plan to do?"
"I don't know either." Mito shook her head and roughly explained the principle of the spacetime Sealing Jutsu: "It's probably a variant of the Contract Seal. It has to be engraved on your body to isolate you from the Space Coordinates."
Contract Seal?
Kyosuke recalled the battle Masked Obito and Minato. As the son-in-law of the Uzumaki clan, the Fourth Hokage used this Contract Seal to break the enemy's control over the Nine-Tails.
Speaking of which, Uzumaki Ashina truly deserves the title of master of Sealing Jutsu, having devised a way to isolate the Flying Thunder God in such a short time.
Unfortunately, the conditions for casting Sealing Jutsu are too demanding. Being able to personally inscribe the spell on his body means one must possess near—his divine speed.
Such ninjas are not impossible to find, but they are definitely not found within the Land of Whirlpools.
You can't even keep up with him, so how can you talk about blocking the Flying Thunder God Technique?
"Hmph, your father is really senile. One day he will realize that the Senju are not someone worth relying on."
Seeing his nonchalant expression, Mito pouted and grabbed his arm urgently. "Don't be too careless. Not only Father, but Senju Shinma will also be involved in this ambush."
"If you really fall into the trap, you absolutely have no chance against those two working together."
"Relax," Kyosuke waved his hand dismissively, "They won't have a chance to plant Sealing Jutsu on me."
"But..." Mito's expression was serious, and she seemed very worried about his safety. "Father isn't the only one who can cast Space-Time Sealing."
"Who else? Don't tell me that old bastard Senju Shinma can learn it too. If that were the case, even a dog could cast Sealing Jutsu."
"Of course..." As she spoke, an extremely eerie smile suddenly appeared on Mito's face, "It's me."
Sealing Jutsu: Space-Time Seal!
The black Sealing Jutsu spread out, successfully severing Kyosuke's connection with the coordinates in an instant.
Even after he kicked Mito away, the isolation spell did not dissipate.
Looking at the girl getting up from the ground, Kyosuke's eyes clearly revealed disappointment.
However, he didn't say anything; at this point, there was no need for any further communication between the two.
This princess of the Uzumaki made what she believed to be the right choice, nothing more.
Drawing his Kusanagi Sword from his waist, Kyosuke looked around and coldly shouted, "Come out! Why hide?"
Clap clap clap!
With a gentle clap of his hands, Senju Shinma made his grand entrance, appearing like the final boss of a level.
"You little brat, you'll learn what happens when you spout nonsense."
Clearly, he cared a lot about the term "old bastard," which might have something to do with his greenish hair color.
As for Uzumaki Ashina, he quickly appeared from the other side, while afterimages kept leaping into the arena from all around.
To ensure the success of the ambush, the Senju Clan mobilized many of its elite members.
After all, besides Space-Time manipulation, his explosive Body Flicker Technique is also not to be underestimated.
If there are fewer people around, he might actually find a chance to slip away.
With a light flick of his longsword, Kyosuke sneered, "Two old dogs leading a pack of puppies, do they think they can take on a lion?"
"Heh, go ahead and say it." Senju Shinma seemed quite smug. "Anyway, you won't live much longer, so say as much as you can."
"Oh, right, if you beg me, perhaps I'll send your last words to the Uchiha."
Bang!
A smoke bomb suddenly exploded, and using it as cover, Kyosuke created twelve Shadow Clone that rushed in different directions.
