"This..."
Sasuke's eyes widened. He had heard of the Summoning Jutsu; the Uchiha clan also had Summoning Animals bound by contracts passed down through generations.
He just hadn't expected Naruto to actually succeed—and summon something so enormous.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Naruto's smugness was practically overflowing.
"Well? Ice-Face!"
"Now you know how awesome Lord Naruto is, right?!"
Sasuke snorted coldly, looking thoroughly disdainful.
"What's so impressive about summoning a toad?"
"Boring!"
With that, Sasuke left without looking back, as though Naruto's Summoning Jutsu was utterly uninteresting.
Leaving Naruto shouting behind him.
"Ice-Face, stop right there!"
"You must be jealous as hell!"
"Hey!"
But when Sasuke returned home, his expression changed, becoming somewhat complicated.
"That idiot Naruto can actually summon such a huge Summoning Animal!"
A complicated expression appeared on Sasuke's small face. He had to admit that he was indeed a little envious.
Although the Uchiha clan also had Summoning Animals, they existed mainly as support. They were all crows, cats, and other Summoning Animals with little combat ability.
Compared to that enormous toad, they were far less imposing.
Sasuke had to admit that there really was some envy in his heart.
"If Naruto can learn that jutsu, there's no reason I can't."
As if possessed, Sasuke began forming hand seals.
His memory was excellent. He had memorized the sequence of Naruto's hand seals.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Sasuke expertly formed the hand seals, bit his finger, and pressed it against the ground.
The markings spread across the ground, and it seemed the jutsu had succeeded.
But when the summoning markings finished spreading, Sasuke's expression changed.
Because he had not formed a contract with any Summoning Animal, the spatial power of the Summoning Jutsu immediately became unstable.
At the same time, his Chakra began pouring out like floodwaters released from a dam!
Sasuke's expression changed
