Summoning Jutsu: Brain Hole

The power of the Animal Path is truly sharp, Ito Makoto thought.

With the control granted by the Animal Path, he no longer had to worry about the training of the Golden Eagle.

However, the eyes bearing the Rinnegan pattern were a problem, and Ito Makoto felt a headache coming on.

In the world of Naruto, there is currently a Nagato Uzumaki. Since he also possesses the power of the Animal Path, the moment he sees a summoned beast with the Rinnegan pattern, he would instantly realize that there is another wielder of the Rinnegan.

Although Nagato's legs are crippled and he stays indoors year-round, making him unlikely to discover it, there is still White Zetsu. White Zetsu are existences in the ninja world that are impossible to guard against. They are equally aware of the various secrets of the Rinnegan, and because they hide underground and can change their forms at will, they are the truly impossible ones to defend against.

Furthermore, even if ordinary ninjas saw the Golden Eagle, the pattern, which is almost identical to the legendary Rinnegan, would surely set their imaginations running wild.

What a massive nuisance. I must see if I can hide it.

Through the connection of the Rinnegan, Ito Makoto controlled the Golden Eagle. Just as he hides his own Rinnegan, Ito Makoto issued a command in the Golden Eagle's consciousness to conceal the Rinnegan.

A purple glow emerged, and the Golden Eagle's body began to change. The purple eyes gradually vanished, and the Golden Eagle returned to its previous appearance.

At the same time, the Golden Eagle's independent consciousness returned, and it began to struggle again, attempting to break free from the restraints of the rope.

Ito Makoto also realized this change. If the previous Golden Eagle was a robot to be manipulated at will, it had now become an independent living creature once more.

So that's how it is? As long as the Rinnegan is deactivated, the forced manipulation is also lifted.

Ito Makoto was lost in thought.

The connection of the Rinnegan remained, and he could now return the Golden Eagle to its previous manipulated state at any time.

This won't do; without the Rinnegan, I cannot control it, which is far too inconvenient.

At this moment, Ito Makoto discovered that although the control was lifted, he could still perceive the Golden Eagle's inner thoughts and transmit information through the connection of the Rinnegan.

In other words, he could communicate with the Golden Eagle.

This makes things much easier.

Through the connection, Ito Makoto began to attempt communication with the Golden Eagle.

"Submit to me," Ito Makoto transmitted the message.

"No," the Golden Eagle's consciousness replied. Due to its low intelligence, the Golden Eagle could only transmit simple information.

"Obey my commands, and you shall receive food," Ito Makoto continued to transmit.

"No, let me go, I will tear you to shreds."

As expected, this eagle cannot be tamed in a short time. However, being able to communicate makes training much more interesting; at least he knows whether his methods are effective.

He was not in a hurry; at worst, he would just starve it for a few days. No creature can escape the fear of hunger.

After just two days, the Golden Eagle, having gone hungry for two days, could no longer endure it and accepted Ito Makoto's instructions.

There is no need for any harsh taming methods; in the face of nature's cruelty, dignity never existed. An animal's greatest fears are always death and hunger.

Once the first step was taken, the second followed. Through communication and training, the Golden Eagle became extremely obedient, following all sorts of commands. It had thought about escaping at first, but after being summoned back twice by Ito Makoto using the Summoning Jutsu, the Golden Eagle realized that escape was impossible and gave up on that option.

Moreover, following Ito Makoto meant having food and drink. No eagle can escape the temptation of food, and neither can a wolf.

As Ito Makoto's mastery of the Rinnegan deepened, he also discovered that the Rinnegan's summoning technique seems to possess special abilities.

With the injection of special Rinnegan chakra, not only did the Golden Eagle's eyes turn into Rinnegan, but its body also underwent special changes. Chakra began to be born within its body.

Ordinary wild beasts do not have chakra in their bodies, but due to the unique nature of the ninja world, some beasts are born with chakra that manifests automatically, as if it were an innate instinct, requiring no learning like humans do. These beasts are the natural seeds of Ninja Beast.

Furthermore, Ninja Beast raised by major clans also possess chakra. Like the ninja dogs of the Inuzuka Clan, the Toad Clan of Mount Myoboku, or Kakashi's dog summoning beasts, only those with chakra can be considered true Ninja Beast.

The birth of chakra in the Golden Eagle's body meant it had transformed from an ordinary wild beast into a true Ninja Beast. If placed on the Ninja Beast market, its price would likely increase more than tenfold. At this point, selling the Golden Eagle for three or four hundred thousand ryo would be an easy task.

This is a decent way to make money, but unfortunately, I have too many secrets on me and don't want to add another trouble, Ito Makoto thought to himself.

However, the Golden Eagle having chakra meant it had the foundation to perform ninjutsu. And since the Rinnegan allows him to forcibly control a summoned beast, doesn't that mean he could perform the Reverse Summoning Jutsu through the Golden Eagle?

That is a good idea, Ito Makoto's eyes lit up. However, there was still one problem: performing ninjutsu generally requires hand seals, and the Golden Eagle has no hands. Even with him there, it would likely be unable to perform the Reverse Summoning Jutsu.

But this method is not entirely hopeless. This world has signless ninjutsu. Powerful ninjas can perform ninjutsu without hand seals through precise control of chakra.

However, the current Ito Makoto cannot yet reach the level of performing the Reverse Summoning Jutsu without seals. Currently, he can only perform the Three Body Technique without seals.

After much deliberation, Ito Makoto came up with a new line of thought. If there are no hands, then manifest a pair; is the Transformation Technique just for show?

Although the things changed by the Transformation Technique do not possess those functions—for example, turning into a rock doesn't make one hard, and turning into a woman doesn't allow one to give birth—manifesting two hands to perform hand seals should be achievable. Birds are born with meridians, so he doesn't need to change that.

Having made up his mind, Ito Makoto prepared to give it a try.

Controlling the Golden Eagle's body through the Rinnegan, he gathered chakra and performed the signless Transformation Technique, changing the Golden Eagle's wings into hands.

However, he embarrassingly discovered that because the Golden Eagle's wings have a different bone structure than humans, they could not form complex hand seals.

Since the wings won't work, he would switch to the claws; the bone structure of the claws should be sufficient.

In the original work, Jiraiya once used his feet to form seals to perform barrier ninjutsu.

Controlling the Golden Eagle to lie on its back on the ground, he transformed its claws into hands and attempted to perform the ninjutsu.

This time, the goal was indeed achieved.

Poof—

A cloud of smoke covered the room, and Ito Makoto's figure vanished, appearing in the Golden Eagle's position. The Reverse Summoning Jutsu was performed successfully.

"It actually worked," Ito Makoto was exceptionally surprised. He didn't expect that his wild idea would actually complete the use of the Reverse Summoning Jutsu.

Now, he could use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu at will.

And the unique nature of Space-Time Ninjutsu ensured that no one in this Konoha Hidden Village could ever catch up to him.
