Sacred Buddha Ridge

After Leiyin's commotion, Beck didn't dare to provoke him.

They were both in the Sixth Squad, and Beck was still the squad leader. Although they lived under the same roof, Beck always greeted Leiyin with a smile, calling him "Big Brother" at every turn, afraid of offending the seemingly divine kid. It made Leiyin seem less like a Third Class Petty Officer and more like a military overlord.

Navy Petty Officers of the Second and Third Class stationed in the area usually only trained in shooting or basic sword and assassination techniques. For the first few days after Leiyin arrived, he participated in the daily training with the Navy. But before long, he found it boring.

Such training was simply a waste of his life. So after a few days, he simply stopped going to training and began his own cultivation. Even so, Sergeant Beck didn't dare to say a word.

One day, while Leiyin was practicing the Rasengan alone, the system sent a notification:

According to the system's judgment, you have reached the level to enter another space-time to hunt for a Summoning Beast. Confirm entry now?

Oh, this is a pleasant surprise. Without thinking, Leiyin clicked "Confirm."

The next moment, Leiyin arrived in another world.

Looking around, there were towering mountains and swirling clouds, every inch an immortal realm.

Before long, Leiyin arrived at the foot of the highest peak, where a stone tablet stood, with three large golden characters written on it: "Sacred Buddha Ridge".

Sacred Buddha Ridge?

This made Leiyin ponder. The Three Great Sage Lands in Naruto were Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest. He had never heard of this Sacred Buddha Ridge.

Just as he was thinking, an unfriendly figure emerged from behind the stone tablet.

It was over three meters long, a white tiger with black stripes, but it also looked somewhat like a cat. Later, Leiyin learned that its name was Cat Tiger Beast.

Upon seeing Leiyin, the Cat Tiger Beast was impolite, immediately baring its claws, sharper than razors, and pounced, knocking Leiyin to the ground.

Lying on the ground, Leiyin remained calm, smiling peacefully: "What's this? Biting people without a word, you big tabby cat really has a bad temper."

Hearing this, the Cat Tiger Beast roared and opened its bloody maw to bite at Leiyin's head. In an instant, Leiyin used Flying Thunder God Slash and disappeared from the spot, the Cat Tiger Beast biting at air.

When the Cat Tiger Beast found him again, Leiyin was already behind it. Leiyin looked at it and teased, "Hey, little tabby, if I could be easily bitten to death by you, I probably wouldn't be qualified to enter this Sacred Buddha Ridge."

Hearing these words, the Cat Tiger Beast roared and split into four, surrounding Leiyin from all directions, east, west, north, and south.

Is this Shadow Clone? Or Clone Technique?

As expected of a Naruto Summoning Beast, it actually knows such techniques.

Regardless, Leiyin's eyes suddenly changed from their original form.

"Sharingan, open!"

The next moment, two tomoe rotated back and forth in Leiyin's eyes.

Without another word, the four Cat Tiger Beasts pounced on Leiyin from all sides.

"Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique!"

Leiyin's hands moved up and down in a blur, forming hand seals, and he spat a high-temperature flame at one of them.

It turned out that the Cat Tiger Beast's clones were only E-rank Clone Techniques. Leiyin's Sharingan saw through the real body at a glance, so he decisively launched an attack. The three clones of the Cat Tiger Beast disappeared instantly. However, what Leiyin didn't expect was...

The real body, which had been attacked by the Great Fireball Technique, actually spat out water, instantly extinguishing Leiyin's fireball. Not only that, the water force directly blasted Leiyin back more than ten meters.

The Water Style technique used by the Cat Tiger Beast was not the C-rank Water Bullet Technique, but the higher-level B-rank Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

This aroused Leiyin's great interest.

Seeing that his ninjutsu was ineffective, Leiyin gathered Chakra on his right fist and smashed it towards the Cat Tiger Beast...

Just as his fist was about to hit the Cat Tiger Beast, a hard wall appeared in front of it. Leiyin's fist only left a fist mark on it.

This is?

Earth Style - Earth Release Barrier?

This guy not only knows Water Style, but also Earth Style.

This is getting more and more interesting.

Looking at the hard wall made by the Cat Tiger Beast in front of him, Leiyin couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

The next moment, he drew the Ninja Sword from his back, attaching lightning to it, and the entire blade crackled...

"Lightning Blade - Chidori Blade!"

When Leiyin charged again, he struck with his sword, directly splitting the earth wall and slashing at the Cat Tiger Beast's body, causing blood to splatter...

The next moment, the Cat Tiger Beast that had been slashed turned into a cute little tiger cat. It returned to its original state, as if it had never been injured, its size no different from a young house cat.

Huh?

Just as Leiyin was surprised, the little tiger cat ran towards him like lightning, jumped directly onto his shoulder, and gently licked his cheek like a puppy.

He thought this little guy was going to attack again, but judging from the situation, it was clearly trying to show its goodwill.

Just as Leiyin was confused, another standing cat appeared.

To be precise, it was a raccoon dog.

A standing raccoon dog?

Leiyin sized up the raccoon dog in front of him. It was standing like a person, wearing a Taoist robe-like outfit, and was only about 1.2 meters tall. Ridiculously, it also carried a sword behind its back that was only slightly shorter than its height, which looked completely harmonious.

Seeing it like this, Leiyin almost laughed out loud, but he held back.

Leiyin and the raccoon dog stood face to face for a while, silent for a long time, before the raccoon dog finally spoke.

"You're quite something, actually defeating the feline tiger beast."

This opening line startled Leiyin. "Who are you?"

(Actually, to be precise, he should have asked, "What kind of tanuki are you?")

"I am the Tanuki Sword Sage of Sacred Buddha Ridge. You may also call me Tanuki Wandering Sage. The Buddha Lord has had me waiting here for you for quite some time."

Tanuki Sword Sage? Buddha Lord? Leiyin was utterly confused.

"What are you talking about? What Buddha Lord? What exactly is this Sacred Buddha Ridge? And what's the deal with this little cat?"

The Tanuki Sword Sage did not answer him directly, but drew the sword from its back. "These questions... I'll tell you once you defeat me."

As it spoke, the tanuki had already charged forward...

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the little tiger cat jumped off Leiyin's shoulder.

And upon seeing this, Leiyin's hands moved up and down in a flurry, and a Ninjutsu technique emerged
