Restricted Summoning Technique

The thought arose and he couldn't suppress it, but he didn't ask now because Nami and Nojiko were still here.

Nami asked, "Mr. Rodney, how is your body?"

"It's alright. Big Slug Sister's treatment is very effective. My body is gradually recovering." The muscle soreness was disappearing, and the Chakra in his body was also slowly recovering. In a little while, he would be able to get up and walk.

He asked, "How was the village's situation handled?"

"Everyone has taken back the treasure plundered by Arlong and is enthusiastically repairing the village. After all, their houses were destroyed before. We are preparing to erect a statue for Mr. Rodney."

"A statue? That won't be necessary. I just came to kill Arlong. I should be thanking you for saving me, otherwise I might have been eaten by a passing beast in that state." Rodney said with a smile, "If you really want to repay me, help me with a small favor later."

"Eh? Helping comes with a fee, you know." Nami looked like a money-grubber, rubbing her fingers at him.

"Wait, Nami..." Nojiko looked at her sister helplessly. Ah, this child is a bit greedy for money because of her childhood experiences, sigh...

"A fee? Sure, Arlong's bounty will be given to you. It can probably be exchanged for ten or twenty million Belly. Should that be enough?"

"Enough, enough!" Nami nodded repeatedly, her eyes already turned into the shape of Belly. After thinking about it, she said, "But since you helped everyone, I'll reluctantly take half. By the way, Mr. Rodney, what help do you need from me?"

It's good you still have some conscience...

Rodney said, "I plan to set off directly from here to the Grand Line. Take me to Reverse Mountain."

Taking a merchant ship would be too slow. He was preparing to enter the Grand Line. He had basically captured all the big pirates here, so there was no point in staying here any longer.

"The Grand Line? Mr. Rodney, are you going to enter there now?" On second thought, Rodney was able to defeat Krieg's Pirates and the Arlong Pirates. His strength was probably unmatched in the East Blue, so it was normal for him to enter the Grand Line now.

Rodney's answer was about what she expected. "There's no point in staying here any longer. Miss Nami, I know you are an excellent navigator, so I would like to ask you to take me to the entrance of Reverse Mountain. I will enter there by myself."

Hearing him say that she was an excellent navigator, Nami was smug in her heart, chuckled, but then asked, "Alone? How will you cross the sea currents?"

"Walk over there. Isn't that obvious?" Rodney could ignore the turbulence of the sea currents and could also walk from the mountain wall, so he didn't have to worry about his own danger at all. He was probably the only one in the world.

"Eh? Oh, right, you can walk on the sea, so there's indeed no problem." Nami nodded and asked with a smile, "Then when are you planning to set off?"

"After my body recovers, but I'll have to bother you here during this time."

Nojiko shook her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's what we should do since you saved our village. How could it be a bother? Just rest assured and heal here, we'll go prepare lunch first."

After speaking, she walked out with her sister, no longer disturbing Rodney's healing.

"They are two very gentle little girls." Big Slug Sister sighed.

"Is that so? Indeed. By the way, Big Slug Sister, let me ask you something." After speaking, he told Big Slug Sister his previous speculation.

Big Slug Sister thought for a while and said, "That won't work, Lord Rodney. Your contract is a bit special. I don't know when you contracted with me, and I have no way to reverse summon you. This is also the first time I have entered a different world with such abundant Natural Energy."

The habitats of summoning beasts such as Shikkotsu Forest are not completely connected to the Naruto world. Generally, it is the ninjas who sign contracts with them who pass the contracts on to their disciples, or ninjas who are lucky enough to stray into them. If they pass the test, they can sign contracts with these summoning beasts.

Big Slug Sister was a split body of the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest, and knew that there were other worlds outside the world, but she had never been to another world. Being summoned by Rodney was still a first for her.

The Natural Energy of the pirate world was so abundant that it was one of the reasons why the plants and animals of this world were so large. For summoning beasts like slugs who cultivated Sage Mode Chakra, it was undoubtedly a paradise.

The reason why Big Slug Sister came was also because Rodney's sudden appearance of the contract surprised her, so she decided to come and take a look.

"Why won't it work?" He still wanted to go to Konoha to see...

Thinking about it now, it should be that the system wouldn't let him run around...

"I'm sorry, Lord Rodney, I don't know either." Big Slug Sister's antennae moved, seeming a little unhappy.

"Wait, I can't go to Shikkotsu Forest? How do I cultivate Sage Mode?" He was still thinking about learning Sage Mode, but now it seemed impossible. He had lost several hundred million in one go. System, is this also within your calculations?

Slug said, "Lord Rodney, so you know about Sage Mode. But in fact, you don't need to go to Shikkotsu Forest. You just need to find some places with abundant Natural Energy to cultivate."

"How do you mean?"

Big Slug Sister gave an explanation, saying, "Ordinary ninjas need to enter the Three Great Sacred Grounds because the Natural Energy of the Three Great Sacred Grounds is more abundant, which allows ninjas to experience Natural Energy more easily. Sages generally do not leave the Sacred Grounds, but the Natural Energy of this world is very abundant, more than twice as abundant as the world on Tsunade's side. It can be said to be a treasure land."

This was good news. The Natural Energy of the East Blue was already so abundant, so what about the Grand Line? What about the New World?

Just take the Sea Kings in these places as examples. Compared to the Sea Kings in the East Blue, the Sea Kings in the New World were as different as clouds and mud.

Here, they were at most dozens of meters long. The deep-sea Sea Kings on the New World side were thousands of meters long at every turn. There was simply no comparison. Therefore, the Natural Energy there was definitely sufficient.

"By the way, Big Slug Sister, the Tsunade you just mentioned, is that the Fifth Hokage?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Lord Rodney to know about Tsunade."

"Yes, because of some special reasons, I know some things over there. Is she still the Fifth Hokage?"

"No, Tsunade has retired. Now the Sixth Hokage is in power in Konoha."

"Oh." In other words, the plot has already ended. Now Konoha was being run by Kakashi, and the era of ninjas was coming to an end...

"Then can they come over?" If he could summon Tsunade over through Slug's reverse summoning, she could save people in case of injury.

Slug shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work, Lord Rodney. Your contract is different from Tsunade's contract. Reverse summoning cannot be performed. I can only come here or go back. To be honest, I don't know how this contract appeared."

"Hmm... how should I say it? Someone helped pass your contract to me. I am considered the only ninja in this world. Big Slug Sister, are you willing to become my summoning beast?"

Big Slug Sister's antennae moved, and her voice was very gentle: "Of course, Lord Rodney, your strength is very strong, and I am also very interested in this world."

After all, she had never been to other worlds besides the Naruto world. She had lived for so long, and such novel encounters were rare.

"Haha, thank you, Big Slug Sister."

"It's nothing."

Some strength returned to his body, and he climbed out of bed, still feeling weak and drained, as if his body had been hollowed out.

Damn it, I need a Tailed Beast power bank...

Chakra, in a way, is a bit of a pitfall...

Big Slug Sister slowly crawled off him, leaving his clothes all sticky. After all, she's a slug, so there's bound to be some tissue fluid...

Looks like Nojiko and the others will have to worry about it.

"Huh? What's going on outside?" It seemed noisy outside, so he walked over to the window.

His gaze passed through the orange grove, and he saw a group of people gathered, seemingly arguing about something.

Urgent footsteps came, and the door was pushed open. It was Nojiko, looking flustered and nervous. "Mr. Rodney, the Marines are here! They're telling us to hand you over! You need to leave here quickly!"

"Hand me over? Why?"

Rodney didn't know what was happening, looking completely bewildered.
