Random Summon

"Bastard! Why would a secret technique of Kumogakure appear on a Konoha ninja? Who on earth leaked it!"

The Third Raikage asked furiously after hearing his subordinate's report. Although he wasn't so hot-tempered as to smash the table in the room, his outburst was enough to make those around him tremble.

"I have already ordered the Anbu to investigate all Jonin capable of using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. I believe we will have results shortly."

After saying this, the Raikage's assistant brought a cup of tea and placed it on the table: "Please, have some tea."

In Kumogakure, there are not many ninja who can use the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. This ninjutsu is not only difficult to master but also requires absolute loyalty. Since it was a secret technique created by the Second Raikage, it has gained a fearsome reputation throughout the ninja world in the hands of both the Second and Third Raikage.

Mastering this Nintaijutsu basically qualifies one to compete for the position of Raikage, provided you are stronger than the Third Raikage's son, Killer B.

Before long, the Kumogakure Anbu returned with news: Jonin Osai had voluntarily confessed that he had lost a scroll containing the Lightning Release Chakra Mode training method.

However, he had completely forgotten when he lost it. Still, Osai did have some impression of that Uchiha Yoichi from Konoha; it seemed that half a year ago, while Osai was executing an S-rank mission, he had encountered a Konoha squad.

"So, is that when Osai lost the Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"

"It is unclear, but it should have been around that time. Lord Raikage, we questioned the two Jonin squads that were on that mission, but they cannot recall anything from that period."

"They can't recall? Were they under a genjutsu?"

"It is hard to say, but it would be very difficult to place those two squads under a genjutsu. Furthermore, if they were under a genjutsu, Osai suffered no losses other than the missing ninjutsu scroll, though the mission did fail later on."

Upon hearing the Anbu's investigation results, everyone in the Raikage's office fell into deep thought and confusion.

It was highly probable that the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was indeed lost by Osai, but he had certainly been caught in an enemy's scheme.

The future Fourth Raikage could not wrap his head around such convoluted matters, so he spoke up loudly: "Father, let's send a direct message to Konoha. Tell them to hand over the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and then we will go and kill that Uchiha ninja who is practicing it."

The Third Raikage said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many people in Konoha have already practiced our village's secret techniques? What is the point of asking for it back now!"

"Regardless of how many of them are practicing it, they are our enemies. Once we discover them, we will hunt them down to the end—even if it's the Third Hokage, we won't let him off!"

A said loudly: "As long as we kill them until they are afraid, and let the Konoha ninja know that practicing Kumogakure's secret Nintaijutsu means death, they naturally won't dare to practice it!"

That is certainly simple and brutal.

However, the Third Raikage felt this was a good approach, so he said to his son: "Very well, I grant you permission. Saidai, go and send the message to Konoha, just as A said. A, you and Osai will form a team; go and kill that Uchiha ninja who has already mastered it first!"

"Let them know that Kumogakure is not to be trifled with!"

"Yes, Father!" (Lord Raikage)

Once the order was given, Kumogakure swung into action.

When it comes to military strength, Kumogakure is undoubtedly the strongest among the Five Great Shinobi Villages. If one were to set aside the threats from other villages and have them go head-to-head with any two others, only Iwagakure could barely manage a 4.5 to 5.5 ratio against Kumogakure.

However, Kumogakure does not have a good reputation. Their village is almost entirely controlled by the Militant Faction. The Second Raikage was considered half a pacifist, but that was only because he couldn't defeat the Second Hokage in war and was forced to seek peace.

As it turned out, during the peace negotiations, the Second Raikage was assassinated by the Militant Faction within his own village.

Plundering secret techniques and wiping out villages to loot them were old traditions of Kumogakure. As long as something was to their advantage and they desired it, they would simply seize it. Furthermore, although there was no definitive proof, the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools was likely inseparable from Kumogakure.

At that time, apart from Konoha, the sealing techniques used by the various ninja villages to contain Tailed Beasts were extremely crude.

However, after a period of time, Kumogakure suddenly mastered the method for training perfect Jinchuriki, which really made one unable to stop themselves from drawing connections.

Accustomed to being overbearing, even if the Third Raikage knew that the person leaking the information to them had ill intentions, he couldn't be bothered to dwell on it.

If anyone dared to show their head, he would beat them to death—that was the Third Raikage's philosophy.

[Random Summon]: Gain a daily opportunity to summon a monster from another world. It might be capable of destroying the world, or it might not even be able to beat a baby. You have thirty minutes to subdue it; if you fail within the time limit, it will automatically return to its original world.

"Finally, I can open my mouth to speak!"

Uchiha Yoichi removed his Metal Mask. For nearly a month, because he had been constantly trying to speak his true thoughts, his chin had nearly smashed through the metal mask.

"Let's move out, Kakashi!"

Hearing this, Kakashi, who was standing to the side, shot Uchiha Yoichi a dead-eyed glance and asked, "Captain, did your throat suddenly get cured?"

Uchiha Yoichi waved his hand and said, "That's not important. Kakashi, you will gain a lot by staying by my side. I hope you don't give up and quit when the time comes!"

"I'll try my best, Captain."

Following that, the two continued on their journey.

The first mission target was in the Land of Grass, and it would take them a day to reach it.

While traveling, Uchiha Yoichi carefully studied his new ability.

He could randomly summon an exotic beast, which could be strong or weak, and there was a chance to subdue it. However, according to the description, if he summoned a beast capable of destroying heaven and earth, let alone subduing it, he himself might just drop dead on the spot.

If he summoned one that was impossibly weak, subduing it would be useless, and he figured it would just come down to whether the beast's meat tasted good or not.

However, when it came to subduing exotic beasts, Uchiha Yoichi could only think of the ninja world's Contract Technique; that would be more convenient.

Other than the Contract Technique, he couldn't exactly use iron chains to forcibly subdue them.

"Kakashi, where can I buy a Summoning Scroll? Do the Ninja Tool Shops in Konoha sell them?"

Hearing this, Kakashi rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "These are things that ninjas make themselves. Unless the owner of the Ninja Tool Shop happens to have a ninja who specializes in making such scrolls, it's better to make one yourself if you want to subdue a Summoning Beast."

"So, I have to learn the Contract Technique as well?"

"That's right."

"Can you do it?"

Kakashi nodded. "If you want to learn, you should prepare a Summoning Scroll first. The scroll itself isn't difficult; the hard part is subduing a Summoning Beast."

The Contract Technique is not difficult at all. Although it is a C-rank ninjutsu like the Summoning Technique, a Genin can learn it after studying seriously for a while.

Uchiha Yoichi had already left Konoha by the time he refreshed his ability; otherwise, he could have asked the Second Elder and learned this ninjutsu.

Fortunately, Kakashi knew it too. He had already made one and contracted the ninja hound kept at his home. Although its combat power was average, it was no worse than the ninja hounds of the Inuzuka Clan when it came to tracking people.

After arriving in the Land of Grass, Uchiha Yoichi requested that Kakashi teach him the Contract Technique before they proceeded to complete their mission.

He was accustomed to being well-prepared so that he wouldn't have to scramble when the time came.
