Spirit Contract

Hearing this, Feng Yao breathed a short sigh of relief; space-time ninjutsu was slightly better than he had imagined.

Space-time ninjutsu allows the user to freely shuttle themselves or objects through reality or between reality and different dimensional spaces.

It can be considered a rather powerful category of ninjutsu, the most famous of which is likely the S-rank space ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage, the Flying Thunder God.

Next, the system stuffed all the knowledge into Feng Yao's brain in one go.

Feng Yao found it much easier to accept this time than before, and he digested the knowledge in his mind after only a short while.

Summoning Technique, Flying Thunder God, Kamui, Intangibility, Amenotejikara, Amenominakanaka, Yomotsu Hirasaka, Heavenly Transfer Technique, Limbo: Border Jail, etc.

Among these, some were not just space-time ninjutsu, but also belonged to the category of dojutsu.

Seeing this, Feng Yao suddenly asked with a guilty conscience.

"I can use Kamui and Intangibility without having the Sharingan, right?"

But clearly, the system would not let him have his way.

"What is the host thinking? You clearly only have a pair of ordinary eyes. You need the Mangekyou Sharingan or even the Rinnegan to use these dojutsu."

Feng Yao was dumbfounded again; in that case, the space-time ninjutsu he could use was significantly reduced.

"You're scamming me again. You said this physique could perfectly use all kinds of ninjutsu, so how do you explain this?"

"My meaning was that you can use them perfectly without side effects; for example, the host will not be injured or go blind when using the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"...So that means I still have to steal someone else's eyes to transplant them."

Feng Yao was too lazy to argue over word games now and could only silently think about how to flexibly apply these ninjutsu.

"Host, actually, eyes don't necessarily need to be transplanted. With your physique, you only need to obtain a few cells from the other person's Sharingan to perfectly inherit their space-time dojutsu."

Hearing this, Feng Yao raised an eyebrow and replied, half-believing.

"Are you serious about this?"

"There is not a shred of falsehood. The host's physique is countless times rarer than the Sage Body of this world."

Feng Yao's expression softened significantly; if that was the case, it would be much easier to handle.

Sasuke and Kakashi were not very strong right now, and he was confident he could get their cells.

During this period, Feng Yao stayed in his room, familiarizing himself with his space-time ninjutsu; knowing how to use them and knowing how to use them against an enemy in battle were two different concepts.

Aside from Tayuya coming to deliver his meals, no one else had disturbed him.

He had already simulated the Flying Thunder God in his mind countless times, ensuring he could respond flexibly at the first moment regardless of the situation.

Next, he wanted to improve his Summoning Technique, though the improvement of the Summoning Technique was not about how to use it.

It was about what kind of summoning beast one formed a blood pact with. If he went out to find a summoning beast now, he feared he wouldn't be able to increase his strength much in the short term.

The Katsuyu Sage was a good choice, and the distance wasn't too far.

The only problem was that the Katsuyu Sage was not good at combat; was he supposed to summon it to heal Danzo?

However, he definitely had to make a trip there, but he still needed to find another summoning beast for combat.

In addition to contract summoning, he could also use item summoning, which allowed him to summon items he had placed in a certain location.

This point could also be well utilized; Explosive Tags, ninja tool scrolls, etc., including the Rashomon, all belonged to item summoning.

Feng Yao could now also summon the Rashomon for defense.

Thinking of this, Feng Yao stood up from the blanket. He was preparing to return to Shikkotsu Forest when a figure knocked on the door. Feng Yao calculated the time; it should be Tayuya coming to deliver his meal.

Feng Yao opened the door, but it was Kidomaru who had come.

"Uh... Lord Feng Yao, I've brought your lunch for today."

Kidomaru actually still held a trace of reverence for this man who had easily defeated him.

The pure aura on Feng Yao was also extremely beneficial to him.

Just by staying near him for a while that day, he felt that his cultivation speed had increased significantly after returning.

He had wanted to come deliver the meal before, but he was fiercely rejected by Tayuya and never had the chance.

Seeing that Feng Yao did not answer, Kidomaru didn't know if he was in a bad mood. Although he wanted to stay a while longer, it would be bad if he angered the other party.

"Well, if Lord Feng Yao has no other instructions, this humble one will take his leave."

After setting down the tableware, he prepared to leave. Just as Kidomaru was about to disappear around the corner, Feng Yao spoke slowly, his voice betraying neither joy nor anger.

"Why didn't Tayuya come to deliver the meal today?"

Hearing the question, Kidomaru stopped. He didn't expect the other party to care about this, as Feng Yao had been a "stranger-keep-out" type from beginning to end, and Tayuya had been completely met with a cold shoulder.

"This... Tayuya's Summoning Technique went out of control, and she was injured and is currently resting."

Kidomaru didn't dare to hide anything and told him everything he knew.

Injured? Summoning Technique?

Hearing this, Feng Yao frowned. He remembered that Tayuya's Summoning Technique allowed her to summon the Three Ghosts to fight.

The power was average, but perhaps there was a summoning contract involved.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and commanded Kidomaru, "Where is she staying now? Take me to see her."

"Uh... yes, yes, please follow me. She is quite close by."

Seeing Feng Yao take such an interest in Tayuya, Kidomaru couldn't help but think to himself.

Could there really be something between the two of them... No way.

Feng Yao, whose mind was set on the Summoning Jutsu, had no mood to care about what Kidomaru was daydreaming about.

He was only thinking of paying a price to exchange for a summoning contract with her.

They arrived in front of a house; the room was not large and was even somewhat cluttered.

Some clothes were strewn about carelessly. Tayuya lay on the bed to the left, her body trembling. The zigzag-shaped black Cursed Seal had not yet faded from her face, and cold sweat poured continuously from her forehead.

"Tayuya wanted to use her family's summoning technique to call upon the Five Ghosts of the Underworld, but she was too impatient. She couldn't suppress the evil aura of the entities and was backlashed instead. Lord Orochimaru said she would be fine as long as she endured this period."

Kidomaru hurriedly explained the reason to Feng Yao, who fell silent for a moment.

Is she training so desperately because of what I said the other day? Surely not.

The chakra on Tayuya's body was not only chaotic but also carried an evil and sinister aura, which was surely the reason she could not wake up.

Feng Yao walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and placed his hand on Tayuya's forehead.

Pure spiritual energy was injected into her mind, and Tayuya slowly calmed down. The Cursed Seal also began to fade.

Tayuya slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Feng Yao touching her head, her first reaction was that she was dreaming. She rubbed her head against Feng Yao's hand, only for Kidomaru to chime in from the side.

"Hey, Tayuya, you're awake! It was Lord Feng Yao who saved you."

Tayuya's body stiffened; she wasn't dreaming!

"Ah... um... Lord Feng Yao... I'm... sorry, I just now..."

Tayuya hurriedly pulled the blanket up and scrambled to sit up, apologizing to Feng Yao.

"Oh, it's good that you're alright. I have something I'd like to ask of you. Kidomaru, if there's nothing else, could you please leave for a moment?"

Feng Yao thought there was nothing wrong with this request, as it was inconvenient to have others present when asking for advice on ninjutsu, but it took on a different meaning in the ears of Kidomaru and Tayuya.

So Lord Feng Yao really is with Tayuya... Should I tell Lord Orochimaru about this?

Lord Feng Yao... he wants to be... alone with me... why...

Kidomaru left tactfully, closing the door behind him as he departed.

Tayuya sat on the bed with a face as red as a beet; apart from the time she was captured by Feng Yao, she had never been this close to him before.

Lord Feng Yao's scent... it smells so good, Tayuya thought to herself.

Feng Yao, sitting opposite her, felt a bit awkward seeing Tayuya like this; he had only come to ask about ninjutsu.

"Ahem, well... Tayuya, I wanted to ask if your Three Ghosts have a summoning contract."

Tayuya, who had been sitting with her head half-lowered and face flushed while waiting for Feng Yao to speak, was stunned for a moment. Realizing she had misunderstood, she began waving her hands frantically.

"That... yes... yes, I do. Lord Feng Yao... why do you ask about this?"

Given the strength Feng Yao had displayed, he shouldn't need a summoning beast to assist him, but Feng Yao couldn't exactly tell her that he couldn't use his Sage Mode anymore.

"I've suddenly taken an interest in the Summoning Jutsu recently, and I happened to hear that you were injured while researching it, so I came to take a look."

Upon hearing that Feng Yao hadn't come specifically to see her because she was injured, Tayuya's eyes dimmed for a moment before she recovered and brought out her family's summoning contract.

"This is the summoning contract passed down through my family for generations. It can connect to the Underworld and summon the ghosts within to fight. My strength is insufficient, so I can only summon the Three Ghosts."

Seeing the names of those who had signed the contract through the generations on the scroll, Feng Yao nodded slightly. This was what he wanted; without this, even if he knew the Summoning Jutsu, he wouldn't be able to summon any powerful creatures. He looked at Tayuya.

"Could I also sign this summoning contract? I can exchange it for some ninjutsu I know. I guarantee the value will be no less than this summoning contract."
