All-Out Naruto: The Start, Drawing Twin Kamui

Along the way, Su Bai discovered that the people coming and going in the base were all ninjas. Even the vendors at the roadside stalls were no exception, with everyone being at least a Genin, and each person's aura was stronger than his own!

"Roar!"

"Quiet, stop calling."

Just then, a massive roar erupted behind Su Bai. He turned his head to see a man, at least a Chunin, riding a Black-Scaled Horse as he passed them by.

A summoning beast? Su Bai took a few extra looks at the Black-Scaled Horse; he knew what this was.

The Black-Scaled Horse is a D-Class Magical Beast, typically ten meters long and over four meters tall. According to information found online, this type of magical beast has a relatively gentle temperament and excels at running, making it the most suitable summoning beast for ninjas to use for transportation in the wild.

Just like in the original work, on Blue Star, if one wants a magical beast to become their summoning beast, they must sign a contract. However, the difference is that the contract scrolls are manufactured by humans, and as long as the magical beast agrees, the contract can be signed.

There are many common beasts in the base, but most are D-Class Magical Beasts, specifically the more gentle variety.

After all, magical beasts and humans are hostile, and very few powerful magical beasts are willing to serve as a human's summoning beast.

Seeing this, Su Bai suddenly thought of a very serious problem: it seems that the summoning beasts in this world cannot perform Reverse Summoning!

Reverse Summoning is considered a fairly strong life-saving ability in the original work.

For example, Jiraiya traveled the entire ninja world relying on the toads of Mount Myoboku. If he hadn't insisted on uncovering the secrets of Pain, he wouldn't have died; a simple Reverse Summoning to escape would likely have been impossible for anyone to stop.

However, Reverse Summoning has never been heard of on Blue Star; at least, Su Bai had never seen it mentioned online.

Thinking of this, he asked Chu Yuan, "Brother Chu, have you ever heard of Reverse Summoning?"

"Reverse Summoning? What do you mean? The summoning beast teleports the ninja to its side?"

"Yes!"

Su Bai nodded earnestly, feeling that this question was quite important.

Chu Yuan rubbed the scar on his neck and thought for a moment.

"I don't think so. Although magical beasts can use some simple ninjutsu, they cannot weave hand signs and can only force them out through their powerful physiques. They probably can't use ninjutsu like the Summoning Technique, right?"

"Let's not talk about this. Brother Li and the others are here, let's go over." After saying this, Chu Yuan pointed to a man and a woman in the distance and led the two toward them.

As the two followed behind Chu Yuan, Xia Xueqing quietly tugged on Su Bai's sleeve and whispered.

"Su Bai, the benefits of Reverse Summoning aren't just what you thought of. My father once researched it with some powerful Jonin, but they didn't gain anything."

"Even your father didn't gain anything? Then it seems it really doesn't exist."

Xia Hong's identity is no secret; he is considered the strongest person in all of Yang City. If even he didn't gain anything, then this "bug" ability simply does not exist on Blue Star.

That's right, in Su Bai's eyes, Reverse Summoning is a bug!

This ninjutsu is simply too strong. He felt that as long as a ninja possesses Reverse Summoning, unless they are courting death or encountering extreme danger, they can generally escape.

Just imagine, if a ninja leaves their summoning beast in a safe place and, upon encountering danger, uses technological means to notify their beast to perform a Reverse Summoning, then unless that ninja dies instantly, they wouldn't die even if surrounded by tens of thousands of magical beasts.

Putting these thoughts aside, Su Bai followed Chu Yuan to the man and woman.

They were Chu Yuan's teammates in his ninja squad: the Fire Release ninja Li Lei and the sensory ninja Miao Qiu.

On the way, Chu Yuan had already introduced them to him and Xia Xueqing. Li Lei is a Chunin, the captain of the squad, and the person with the strongest combat power.

Miao Qiu is a Genin and Li Lei's wife; she has strong sensory abilities and is responsible for the safety of the entire squad.

However, that was before. Now, with Xia Xueqing, a possessor of the Byakugan bloodline, according to Chu Yuan, the survival rate of their squad has increased by at least ten times!

After all, the Byakugan's observation range of several dozen kilometers is nothing to scoff at.

"Brother Li, Sister Miao, we're here." Chu Yuan greeted them with a smile.

Li Lei walked over with Miao Qiu, a smile also on his face.

The three had been in the same ninja squad for years, having experienced countless battles of life and death, so they already shared a bond forged in blood. That was why, when Chu Yuan proposed bringing Su Bai along for training, he agreed without a second thought.

This was only because it was Chu Yuan; if it had been anyone else, Li Lei really wouldn't have agreed.

Taking someone to the Wasteland Zone for training is not a simple matter, especially a newcomer who has never even seen a magical beast; if things go wrong, it could implicate the entire squad.

However, what Li Lei didn't expect was... Chu Yuan hadn't just brought Su Bai, he had also brought a ninja with the Byakugan bloodline, which delighted him!

What does survival in the Wasteland Zone depend on?

It depends on discovering magical beasts in advance to decide whether to hunt or flee. The thing feared most is being suddenly attacked by magical beasts.

As a Chunin who frequently roams the Wasteland Zone, Li Lei had seen too many squads wiped out by magical beast ambushes.

Some magical beasts are very cunning; they know that there are sensory ninjas among humans, so they have learned to mask their chakra fluctuations to deceive the sensory ninjas' perception.

Thereby launching ambushes on ninja squads for a one-hit kill!

This causes a great headache for many ninjas.

Whenever they hear of such things, other ninjas can only sigh and pray that their own squad doesn't have such bad luck, having no other solutions.

However... such things would absolutely never happen to a ninja squad possessing the Byakugan bloodline. No matter how cunning the magical beasts are, they cannot escape the Byakugan's astonishing insight!

A ninja squad with a Byakugan can discover magical beasts from dozens of kilometers away, thereby judging the strength of the beasts and deciding whether to hunt or detour, keeping the initiative firmly in their own hands.

It is precisely because of this heaven-defying insight that the Byakugan is so sought after by many ninjas; every ninja hopes to have a teammate with the Byakugan bloodline to increase their survival rate in the wild.

Usually, it is only the most powerful ninja squads that possess a Byakugan bloodline user. Li Lei had never even dreamed that his own squad would one day have a pair of Byakugan!

"Haha, I am Li Lei. Welcome, Mr. Su and Ms. Xia, to my squad!" Li Lei laughed heartily and reached out a hand politely.

"Brother Li, you're too kind. Just call me Su Bai."

"That's right, since we're all teammates now, Brother Li, just call me Xueqing."

Su Bai immediately shook Li Lei's hand, and Xia Xueqing offered a slight smile.

Su Bai knew that being brought out for field training by Brother Chu was a favor, a kindness he would have to repay in the future.

"Haha, then I'll be bold and let you call me Brother Li." Li Lei was burly, his exposed arms covered in scars, clearly marking him as a veteran of many battles.

He pulled Miao Qiu over to introduce her to the two.

Miao Qiu was petite and spoke very gently. After getting acquainted, the group boarded Li Lei's vehicle.

It was a modified pickup truck; the cab remained largely unchanged, fitting five people just right.

The truck bed was large and covered in dried bloodstains, showing that Li Lei often used this vehicle to haul the carcasses of magical beasts.

The pickup drove out of the base city, following an asphalt road that was barely passable as it headed north. Tall weeds and abandoned houses were visible everywhere along the roadside, forming a stark contrast to the prosperity of the base city.

"The place we are going this time is a county about 20 kilometers from Yang City Base City. It is mostly active with D-Class Magical Beast, which is very suitable for our squad to hunt." In the car, Chu Yuan explained to Su Bai and Xia Xueqing.

As a veteran ninja squad, Chu Yuan and his team had long since mapped out the situation around Yang City Base City.

They knew exactly where the high-level magical beast activity zones were and where the low-level ones were.

Of course, there were exceptions, such as when a magical beast wandered out of its territory and suddenly appeared somewhere else.

However, such cases were rare and generally did not happen.

Su Bai and Xia Xueqing listened quietly; these were things that could not be learned from books, only from the experience of someone like Chu Yuan who frequently entered the Wasteland Zone.

The road outside the base city was difficult to traverse. It had been abandoned by humanity for over 200 years, and even the sturdiest roads had developed cracks.

Furthermore, the deeper they went into the Wasteland Zone, the more collapsed houses they saw. Su Bai noticed that some of the buildings clearly bore claw marks and large holes that looked as if they had been smashed by magical beasts.

It took Li Lei nearly an hour to cover the 20 kilometers. He parked the pickup in front of a pre-apocalyptic shopping mall, and the group immediately disembarked.

"There are signs of magical beast activity nearby. The noise of the vehicle is too loud and makes us easy to spot, so we have to go the rest of the way on foot." Li Lei said, taking the lead toward the top of the mall.

A moment later, the group reached the rooftop. Looking out, there was nothing but abandoned buildings and overgrown vegetation.

Chu Yuan looked at Xia Xueqing and said expectantly, "Xueqing, let us enjoy the convenience of having a Byakugan teammate!"

Li Lei and Miao Qiu laughed, both looking forward to it.

Previously, the three of them had to rely on Miao Qiu's sensory abilities to venture deep into the magical beast activity zones to find tracks. This was extremely dangerous; one mistake could lead to the entire squad being wiped out.

Xia Xueqing nodded with a smile and activated her Byakugan. The astonishing insight immediately showed its effect!

"There is an Iron-Horned Sheep, D-Class, about 6 kilometers to the southeast, and a Black-Scaled Horse, D-Class, at 8 kilometers."

"There are no magical beasts within 20 kilometers to the northeast."

"There are no magical beasts within 20 kilometers to the northwest."

"The closest magical beasts are to the southwest. Within 3 kilometers, there are five Long-Eared Rabbit, D-Class."

Xia Xueqing was like a precision instrument, accurately reporting the location of every magical beast. Li Lei and the others couldn't help but marvel.

"The Byakugan is truly great; it's so powerful!"

"Indeed. In the past, it would have taken us at least three days to find a single magical beast. With Xueqing, we've located all of them in an instant. The Byakugan is truly convenient!"

Xia Xueqing felt a bit embarrassed by the praise and asked, "Captain, where should we go now?"

"Hehe, to the southwest, of course. Let's let you two little ones get a taste of blood first!"

Li Lei was in high spirits and joked, and the others nodded in agreement.

To the southwest—that was exactly where the Long-Eared Rabbit were.

And the Long-Eared Rabbit was the very subject of the Nine Provinces Academy entrance exam.

Su Bai and Xia Xueqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the anticipation in each other's eyes!

The group of five traveled about 1 kilometer to the southwest under Xia Xueqing's guidance and finally saw their prey—the Long-Eared Rabbit!

A hundred meters ahead of them, a magical beast resembling a domestic rabbit, with black and white fur, about 5 meters long and 2 meters tall, was resting beside a half-collapsed hospital.

"Is this the Long-Eared Rabbit I usually like to eat? How cute!" Xia Xueqing exclaimed. She had only ever seen Long-Eared Rabbit on the dinner table...

Su Bai also stared intently at the "giant rabbit." This was his first time seeing a magical beast.

Chu Yuan came to their side and said with a stern face.

"Since you are out here training with me, you must be prepared. This is not school, where you get a second chance if you get a question wrong!"

"This is the wasteland. One mistake means death. So, do exactly as I say, understand!"

"Understood!" ×2

"This Long-Eared Rabbit has about 70 units of chakra. It doesn't know any ninjutsu and only knows how to foolishly attack with its body. I'll give you a demonstration first, so watch closely."

The Long-Eared Rabbit can be considered the weakest existence among all magical beasts.

Aside from its massive size and a chakra level approaching that of a Chunin, it possesses no ninjutsu. Generally, as long as a Genin knows a few techniques and can overcome their fear of magical beasts, they can handle it.

Chu Yuan thought that since it was the two of them's first time in the Wasteland Zone, he should provide a demonstration so they could be prepared.

"Alright."

"Mm-hmm, this rabbit is so big; I'm actually a little scared."

Su Bai and Xia Xueqing nodded, watching as Chu Yuan approached the Long-Eared Rabbit.

"Let's go, get a bit closer so you can see more clearly." Li Lei called out, leading the two of them to a spot about 20 meters away from the Long-Eared Rabbit before stopping.

By now, the Long-Eared Rabbit had already noticed the commotion. Its massive body slowly rose, and it stared vigilantly at the approaching Chu Yuan, seemingly aware that this person was not to be trifled with.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The Long-Eared Rabbit arched its body, which was the size of an off-road vehicle, and emitted a "hissing" warning sound from its mouth, as if telling Chu Yuan to leave its territory immediately.

Chu Yuan did not use any ninjutsu; he intended to use taijutsu so that Su Bai and Xia Xueqing could get a good look at the Long-Eared Rabbit's attack patterns.

"Come on, rabbit, cooperate and I'll give you a quick end later."

Chu Yuan beckoned with his finger. The Long-Eared Rabbit seemed provoked and immediately charged at him in a rage!

Facing the Long-Eared Rabbit's charge, Chu Yuan calmly leaped four or five meters into the air. The Long-Eared Rabbit rushed past beneath him and, seeing it had missed its target, immediately turned around.

"This is the Long-Eared Rabbit's only attack method aside from biting with its teeth. Its speed isn't fast; as long as you aren't nervous, any Genin can dodge it!" Chu Yuan shouted, providing a live lesson for the two.

Su Bai and Xia Xueqing widened their eyes. One with his Byakugan and the other with his Sharingan, they carefully observed the Long-Eared Rabbit's attack style.
