Less than two days later, Obito used the Summoning Technique and summoned a white-haired... little girl?
Her snow-white hair was long enough to reach her heels. Her red eyes gleamed like two dazzling rubies, and she had two short white eyebrows. Her delicate, doll-like face made Obito break out in a cold sweat! A pair of white rabbit-ear hair clips adorned her head, and she wore a white robe.
She was obviously a childlike, chibi version of Otsutsuki Kaguya!
What was going on? She was completely different from the anime! Before Kaguya was sealed, she had created Black Zetsu. So what was this?
Only someone with a screw loose would think the two had nothing to do with each other.
"Um... do you have a name? What are you called?" Obito asked.
"A name? After I was born, they all called me Her Majesty the Queen. So I suppose I'm Queen!"
Maybe it was because she'd transformed into a little girl, but her voice had become much sweeter too... a sugary, little-girl voice.
"...Remember, you can't put 'Your Majesty' after 'Queen.' It sounds bad," Obito said earnestly.
"Does Queen sound bad? Is that Kaguya-hime you mentioned earlier important to you? If so, I'll be Kaguya-hime," the little rabbit-eared girl said.
"!!! Remember, you absolutely can't put 'hime' after it either!"
"Then you can call yourself Kaguya—Uchiha Kaguya! I'm Obito Uchiha. From now on, we're partners. I'll introduce you to my family in a bit. Come in and look at the carrot cake I made for you. Do you like it?"
When Tsunade found out that the little girl was Obito's Summoning Beast—and that she kept calling him "Onii-chan"—
she seriously questioned his character! That night, after Obito spent the whole evening talking things through and repeatedly swearing he absolutely wasn't a lolicon, he finally put big-sister Tsunade's suspicions to rest...
And so, the family had a new member: a very special Summoning Beast... Uchiha Kaguya, a little girl who loved watching palace-intrigue dramas.
Obito also got the Summoning Contract for Katsuyu from Tsunade. Setting aside the slime on her body... the blue-and-white slug was actually kind of cute, and her voice was especially girlish and gentle...
Katsuyu's main ability was healing. She could also split into many smaller versions of herself. It was said that every slug was a division of Katsuyu Sage. The size of a summoned Katsuyu depended on the summoner's chakra. She could also spit out corrosive acid as an attack.
Katsuyu had an enormous amount of chakra and could restore her summoner's chakra, making her the ultimate support!
Obito's offensive power was already top-tier. He didn't need a Summoning Beast to boost his attacks; what he needed was support and helpers with unique abilities.
And the Sage Technique of the never-before-seen Shikkotsu Forest had Obito very curious. Once his trip to the Land of Rain was over, he planned to visit the Shikkotsu Forest. Was the First Hokage's Sage Mode the same as the Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Technique? He'd finally get an answer to that question.
The size of a summoned Katsuyu depended on the summoner's chakra. The one Tsunade summoned was one-tenth the size of Katsuyu's full body, while the one Obito summoned was twice as big as Tsunade's!
This gave Obito a much clearer idea of how much chakra he had.
Meanwhile, Katsuyu Sage, back in the Shikkotsu Forest, was startled out of her wits. She'd been sitting at home when suddenly a fifth of her body was taken away...
She'd lived for over a thousand years and never experienced anything like it. Earlier, Tsunade had contacted her and said she wanted to arrange a Summoning Contract for her boyfriend.
Tsunade was a longtime client, and Katsuyu was kindhearted, so she'd agreed without a second thought.
But then you go and summon away a fifth of my body in one shot? That'll cost extra!
Standing on Katsuyu, Obito felt like he was on top of the world, looking down on the mountains below!
It was like standing on a small mountain. From a distance, you couldn't even see Obito... His whole aura as a master had instantly shot up!
That brought Obito's Summoning Beasts to a temporary close. If he got the chance later, he'd get one that swam in the water and another that flew through the sky, completing the land, sea, and air collection.
Next, Obito had Cheping sort out the business accounts. He withdrew the huge surplus of silver and prepared to splurge on a round of pulls!
Each pull cost thirty thousand ryō, and Obito had prepared a full three hundred million!
Ten thousand pulls! Even the unluckiest player in the world ought to get something good... Once Tsunade had left for work at the Ninja Hospital and little Kaguya was watching TV in the living room, Obito went into his room and locked the door. He had to enter the system to pull cards.
"Load three hundred million ryō." Obito put all the money in at once. He still hoped he'd get some more powerful cards. His current strength wasn't enough to take on those ancient monsters.
As for getting stronger through training? That was wishful thinking. He wasn't Sasuke or Naruto...
Although he'd long since gotten used to the system's greed, he'd sunk at least eight hundred million into it over the years, if not a billion. He'd gotten only four gold-quality cards in total, along with a pile of useless junk. He couldn't sell it for diamonds, either, or use it to upgrade anything. What a garbage system.
Obito clicked through the card pulls like an emotionless machine, numb to it all, until a gold card jolted him back to attention! When he turned it over, he was so furious he wanted to curse!

At long last, he got a gold card, and it was a duplicate!
"Ding! The host has obtained a card with the same name. System upgrade conditions met. Upgrade the system?"
"Hm? It can be upgraded? Of course I'll choose to upgrade!"
"Please exit the system. The upgrade will take 24 hours."
Obito's consciousness left the system. He opened the door and went out. Kaguya was curled up on the sofa, swinging her little legs as she munched on potato chips and watched the latest palace-intrigue drama. It was about a concubine newly taken by a daimyo and how she gradually took down the principal wife...
"Onii-chan, why do you and Big Sister Tsunade always fight, and why do you always make her yelp?" The little girl had been wondering about it, and now that she saw Obito come out, she asked him. From what she'd observed, Obito was very nice to Big Sister Tsunade during the day. So why did they fight every night?
