Shikamaru led Naruto and Sasuke toward their temporary lodgings. Along the way, Ino clung to Sasuke's arm and told him about everything they had encountered since coming to this world. Naruto noticed that a magical beast was constantly following her. Unlike the magical beasts he usually encountered, this one had only a single eye. Yes, just one eye, and it was floating beside Ino. Naruto was not the only one who noticed it. Sasuke had spotted it the moment Ino appeared, but he was rather reserved, and seeing how obediently the creature listened to her, he had paid it little mind.
Besides, Sasuke sensed no threat from the magical beast, so he had even less reason to concern himself with it. Naruto, however, asked curiously, "Ino, what kind of magical beast is that following you? Why does it only have one eye?"
At Naruto's question, Ino immediately looked pleased with herself. "Hehe... I thought neither of you cared. You finally couldn't resist asking, huh? This magical beast is no ordinary creature. It doesn't have much attack power, but it's been more helpful to me than anything else."
Naruto asked in confusion, "You're saying this magical beast helps you a lot? How does that work?"
Ino explained, "This magical beast is called Evil Eye. It's a first-tier magical beast, but don't underestimate it just because of that. It doesn't have much attack power, but it has an ability no other magical beast can match. It can increase the mental energy of the person who forms a contract with it. And it doesn't just increase it a little-it doubles it. Now you understand what makes it so special, right?"
Hearing Ino say that the magical beast could increase mental energy surprised not only Naruto. Even Sasuke could not help taking another look
