Summoning Beast

At this moment, the soldiers fighting the mountain bandits are the fifth batch of Dragon Tooth Soldier deployed by Shiro. Compared with the previous four batches, although they have not yet met Shiro's expectations, they are performing quite well overall.

This batch of Dragon Tooth Soldier already possesses combat strength that far surpasses that of ordinary people, but only in terms of basic qualities.

The movements are still stiff, and the Combat Program are very rigid. It's okay to fight ordinary people, but once it faces a ninja, it will lose miserably.

The only thing worth praising is its excellent defensive capabilities. So far, none of them have fallen apart. Judging from the degree of wear and tear, they should be able to barely withstand a C-rank Ninjutsu attack.

Unfortunately, his movements were too sluggish and stiff; otherwise, he could have at least Genin a fight against the fake genin from Konoha.

By this time, the bandits below had been mostly dealt with. Although a few remained and were still struggling to hold on, Shiro waved his hand and dismissed the Dragon Tooth Soldier.

The bandits here are almost all dead, but Shiro still has two batches of Dragon Tooth Soldier to test, so he doesn't have time to play around with them here.

Therefore, after recalling the Dragon Tooth Soldier, Shiro casually threw a few Shuriken behind him, completely killing the bandits who thought they had escaped with their lives and were smiling.

In their dying moments, they didn't know who had killed them. Doubt, resentment, and a lingering sense of relief mingled together, forming their final expressions.

Shiro didn't care whether the bandits were dead or not. They were just bandits; Shiro wasn't about to make a mistake. He needed to get to the next location to experiment with Magecraft, so he didn't have much time.

However, what Shiro didn't realize was that, as his research into Magecraft deepened, and with the ideas instilled in Nakamura during missions, he was gradually becoming indifferent to the lives of others.

In fact, Shiro's current behavior is no different from that of the people in the Land of Hot Water; they are all experimenting on people. However, Shiro is not currently conducting biological experiments.

However, this was just Shiro deceiving himself. Although the processes were different, the purpose and starting point were the same: they were all Shiro's test subjects.

However, the education Shiro received in his previous life made it impossible for him to accept this fact, so he could only subconsciously ignore the past.

However, one day, Shiro will come to his senses. At that time, there will only be two outcomes for Shiro: one is complete collapse.

The other option is to accept all of this and begin the most inhumane human experiments.

However, Shiro is unaware of this at the moment; he is currently on his way to the next mission location.

The next task is to clear out wild animals, but unlike the previous task of driving them away, this time it's a pack of roaming wolves, and because they have a history of attacking people, the task requires them to be wiped out directly.

Since they came from elsewhere anyway, there's no need to worry about them affecting the ecosystem.

Yes, you read that right, ecology!

Although science is not widely known, the Shinobi World still has the concept of ecology because animals are generally in a vulnerable position, and because of the Jonin beasts.

Although the knowledge is not very specific and no one has summarized it, every village pays attention to this kind of situation.

Therefore, generally speaking, missions like this will specify whether to eliminate or drive away the enemy. Elimination is obviously the better option, and given the strength of ninjas, it's the easiest to complete.

Tasks like driving away animals are more complicated because there's a casualty ratio. If that ratio is exceeded, the mission is considered a failure even if the animals are successfully driven away.

Furthermore, don't think that if the casualty ratio of the driving mission doesn't meet the target, you should just give up and wipe out all the wild animals.

Doing so would not only result in mission failure but also in punishment from the village and a negative record on your file, significantly impacting your future promotions.

Therefore, few people take on these kinds of tasks, as they are not only troublesome but also quite risky.

However, Shiro didn't have so many concerns. He wasn't going to become Hokage, so such an impressive resume was useless to him; it would even be a barrier to becoming a Jonin.

At worst, he can endure another year or two. Once his skills improve, he will naturally be promoted. There's no other reason than that Shiro now has connections.

Furthermore, we've already gathered enough resources, so we just need to develop step by step; whether or not we get promoted won't have a significant impact.

Therefore, Shiro took on several such missions this time, one of which involved annihilation, while the rest were all about driving away enemies.

What we need to do now is eliminate them. This will save the most time, so we can finish it first. It will also help Shiro complete the last two tests of the Dragon Tooth Soldier.

The subsequent expulsion was not suitable for testing the Dragon Tooth Soldier, so Shiro prepared other Magecraft for them. (The setting has been changed; the Origin does not affect Shiro's ability to learn other Magecraft, but rather his intelligence.)

Before long, Shiro arrived at the location where they were last active, as stated in the intelligence report. After stopping, Shiro squatted down and carefully observed the area to see if he could find any traces.

This time, Shiro plans to search on his own, without relying on the power of Ryūchi Cave.

Through this mission to rescue Kazuki, Shiro realized that he still had significant shortcomings in Independent Action. Therefore, Shiro also hoped to use this opportunity to improve his thinking skills.

After all, one day Shiro and his team will disband, and they won't be able to let others arrange everything. Shiro will also have to learn to think for himself.

These wild beasts, who don't know how to hide well, are the perfect practice targets for Shiro.

Before long, Shiro discovered the tracks they had left behind. Without lingering, Shiro gave chase.

Of course, instead of rushing in headfirst, you still need to stop from time to time to check the tracks to make sure you haven't lost them.

After a while, Shiro found them in a clearing in a forest. Just as Shiro was about to Summon Dragon Tooth Soldiers, Shiro eyes narrowed and he stopped what he was doing.

He sensed something was off about the wolves—or rather, the alpha wolf, because Shiro could detect Chakra within it!

"Ninja Beast? No, it's not."

Shiro's first thought was that it was a wild Ninja Beast. Although this was rare, it did happen, but Shiro was quickly dismissed.

Because he discovered something even more interesting on that wolf: Summoning Contract!

Summoning Contract is the foundation of Summoning Jutsu. Only by establishing a contract can one use Summoning Jutsu to summon spirits. In essence, Summoning Contract is a type of Sealing Jutsu.

Therefore, others might not have noticed this, but Shiro was different; he had been forced by Kushina to memorize a lot of knowledge about Sealing Jutsu.

The Contract Seal, which has a significant role in the original work, naturally became his main focus. Under Kushina's guidance, although the process was very difficult, he mastered this Sealing Jutsu.

It even became his most proficient Sealing Jutsu, which is why he was able to discover this in such a short time.
