Listen, That Crying Chakra!

"Hmm? A riot in the Land of Demons? The Yomi Sect???"

Fuyuki paused for a moment, his mind flashing back to a theatrical film from many years ago. It was the debut of Naruto, that natural-born lady-killer, who had charmed a "three-no" girl—who looked exactly like Hinata—so thoroughly that they even made a pact to have fox-children.

However, none of that mattered. What mattered was that a monster existed in the Land of Demons, and it possessed a massive amount of chakra that could be harvested. He needed chakra, the monster Moryo could provide it, so weren't he and that monster a match made in heaven, like two plastic brothers?!

"Natsumi, today's itinerary has changed. Postpone the real estate development plans for two days; we're going home first!"

When issuing missions in a ninja village, the client doesn't need to pay the full amount upfront. They only need to pay a deposit. Once the ninjas are assembled and everything is confirmed, the client must pay sixty percent of the total, with the remainder settled upon the mission's completion.

Of course, this applies to high-risk missions like A-rank or S-rank. For B-rank or D-rank, just pay the full amount! Konoha ninjas don't have time to run dozens of kilometers for a mere few tens of thousands of ryo. If you don't like posting in Konoha, then forget it; I am the number one in the entire ninja world!

Fuyuki had squeezed two hundred million ryo out of his father. Of course, it wasn't to retrieve the scroll—even if he did retrieve it...

No, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to retrieve the scroll!

This summoning scroll would constantly shift and teleport between seven different High-ranking Elemental Spirits. Even if Uchiha Itachi were defeated, the summoning scroll would never fall into the hands of money-grubbing ninjas like Kakuzu. Fuyuki had never intended to pay out those two hundred million ryo from the very beginning.

This money was the capital he had prepared for doing business and for constructing the "Elemental Dawn Summoning Grounds"!

He planned to develop a resort in Konoha, using Low-ranking Yang Spirits to create hot springs infused with Yang-attribute chakra, and then leverage his connections with the Hyuga clan to invite the various lords of the Land of Fire to come and play for a few days!

Commoners would just pay money, but ninjas would not only have to pay ninety percent of the original price, they would also have to provide chakra to be allowed entry!

To become stronger, Fuyuki had truly bled his coffers dry—he had spent the equivalent of three Asumas!

Back home, Fuyuki took off the necklace he always wore around his neck. He removed one of the dark red glass beads embedded in the silver ornament and handed it to the High-ranking Yang Spirit, who was lying down watching TV: "Pig-head, get to work! Go to the Land of Demons with the High-ranking Dark Spirit and capture the monster 'Moryo'!"

"Give me two hours. The finale of Ninja Love is on right now. As soon as I finish watching, I'll leave immediately!" the High-ranking Yang Spirit replied.

Currently, Konoha had televisions and refrigerators, but the content on the TV was quite monotonous—all about romance and drama. Fuyuki never watched it; he couldn't even be bothered to turn the TV on.

The Hyuga clan provided wives, so he was in no rush at all.

"If I whip you twice, do you think that's feasible?" Fuyuki raised his foot and stomped toward the High-ranking Yang Spirit.

A dignified High-ranking Life Elemental Spirit, addicted to binge-watching dramas—that was one thing, but refusing to do a mission? Are you trying to go against the heavens now? The whip in my hand isn't joking around with you!

"Yes, yes, I'm going right now..." Having suffered the damage of Fuyuki's War Stomp, the High-ranking Yang Spirit immediately cowered, casting a lingering, reluctant glance at the 60P high-blur television screen.

"Natsumi, help me guard the door. If anyone looks for me, tell them I'm feeling unwell and am resting all day."

Fuyuki lay down on the tatami, his consciousness descending directly into the High-ranking Dark Spirit thousands of miles away. He looked at Uchiha Itachi, who was resting by the river, and said, "Form the summoning seal and help me summon the High-ranking Life Elemental Spirit over here."

"Moon Worm?"

"Eclipse!" Fuyuki reflexively retorted, then ignored it and urged, "Hurry up, it's urgent!"

"Poof!"

Itachi lived up to his reputation of six seals per second. The next second, he summoned the High-ranking Yang Spirit, who had been acting like a parasite in the Hyuga household.

"Follow me closely. The Land of Demons is separated from the Land of Fire by three nameless countries. Do not stop in the Land of Rain under any circumstances."

Fuyuki ignored Itachi and didn't bother explaining. He grabbed the High-ranking Yang Spirit and sprinted toward the Land of Demons.

The Land of Demons bordered the Land of Earth. If the Rock Village sent troops to support the Land of Demons in suppressing the riot, the Priestess Miroku could perish together with Moryo without any worries. At that point, Fuyuki's chakra battery would be gone.

Sealing jutsu wasn't a technology the Hyuga clan excelled at, even though the Hyuga had developed the Caged Bird curse seal that was carved into the soul.

Seeing the Moon Worm and a strange female spirit rushing toward the Land of Rain, Itachi followed. His destination for this trip was the Land of Rain, so he could be considered a fellow traveler: "Did something happen in the Land of Demons?"

Fuyuki, controlling the High-ranking Dark Spirit, glanced at Uchiha Itachi leaping through the trees: "A riot in the Land of Demons. Some ambitious person wants to release the otherworldly monster Moryo to establish an eternal kingdom that will last a thousand years, and wants to call himself the King of Borodin."

"Moryo? The King of Borodin?"

Uchiha Itachi's brows furrowed tightly. He didn't catch Fuyuki's sarcasm at all and took the nonsense he was spouting as real intelligence, beginning to analyze it seriously: "I know of the monster Moryo. It is sealed in the sealing shrine of the Land of Demons. As long as we guard it there, once the mastermind appears, we will..."

"Will what? My goal is Moryo. Why aren't you hurrying to report to the Land of Rain? Your boss is looking for you!"

Fuyuki interrupted Itachi's dangerous train of thought. He had come to the Land of Demons specifically to catch Moryo. If he didn't let someone release Moryo, wouldn't his trip be in vain? For the sake of this large-scale chakra battery, Fuyuki had even postponed his Konoha Eight-Heart-Eight-Arrow Resort project!

"???"

The corners of Uchiha Itachi's eyes twitched slightly. He finally understood why the Moon Worm was running so urgently.

It wasn't afraid of Moryo running out to cause trouble, establishing a so-called thousand-year kingdom, or becoming the King of Borodin...

It was afraid that Moryo would die too quickly, and by the time it arrived, it wouldn't even get a sip of hot soup!

After sprinting at top speed for two hours, Fuyuki glanced at the map and estimated that it would take another three days for them to cross the Land of Rain, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Bears to reach the border of the Land of Demons. He immediately felt like vomiting. Running in the forest for three days and three nights was simply a waste of life!

"Itachi, you lead the Yin-Yang Spirits. I forgot to turn off the stove while making soup at home, I need to go home and turn it off..."

Leaving those words behind, Fuyuki went home, had lunch with his maid, and then swaggered out to the street to buy land.

"He..." Itachi's expression froze.

"As a great noble, Lord Moon Worm detests wasting life to the extreme. Seeing that it will take three days of running, he is definitely lying on a maid's lap right now, leisurely eating grapes peeled by the maid, enjoying life..." The High-ranking Dark Spirit didn't hold back in roasting Fuyuki.

"Of course, it's also possible he went out shopping, teasing innocent girls or kidnapping friends for fun."

"He must be watching the finale of Ninja Love. Sigh, I was so close, what a pity."

The High-ranking Yang Spirit, with a devilish figure, spoke with the wild and heroic voice of Zhang Fei, startling Itachi. He looked at the golden-ratio female spirit—or was it a male spirit?—with a face full of astonishment.

Is this the legendary "first look is a lady's demeanor, close look is a Buddha's wrathful arhat"???

My summoning beast family really does have problems.
