Summoning the Salamander

"Yes, it is indeed a bit small, but if its life is stable, its smaller size can still be useful."

However, it is far inferior to the Summoning Beast of the Sannin. I have seen their Summoning Beast, especially Orochimaru's Manda.

A person standing on it wouldn't even be as big as a single scale of the snake. Even when coiled up, the Manda would be at least a hundred meters tall. An ordinary ninja would be no match for such a behemoth.

Naraku examined the Flood Dragon in the vessel while speaking to Hiruko.

"The Sannin, their Summoning Beast are indeed powerful, but the Summoning Beast here still have room for improvement."

"If we could obtain the Summoning Beast cells of the Sannin, and then use Chimera's fusion technique to improve the Summoning Beast here, perhaps we could make them even stronger."

Hiruko felt somewhat unconvinced when he heard Naraku praise the Sannin. He implied that it wasn't that he was incompetent, but rather that there were no powerful Summoning Beast available for him to improve.

"Cell culture, then modification?"

Naraku glanced at Hiruko upon hearing his words, paused slightly, and then smiled as he said:

"I have Summoning Beast here that's no less powerful than the Sannin, Hiruko, don't exaggerate."

"Heh heh, Naraku, don't you know how powerful my Chimera Technique is?"

Hiruko slightly and asked in return, then continued:

"If you have a powerful Summoning Beast, summon it and let me see it. Leave some samples so I can use them for cloning and breeding."

Hiruko, who studies the Chimera Technique and various fusion techniques, has mastered cloning technology and uses it to cultivate Summoning Beast for fusion research.

Hiruko one of the few biological science experts in the Shinobi World, and Orochimaru, another biological science expert known to Naraku, has his own strengths.

"Well, alright. This Summoning Beast is the signature Summoning Beast of Salamander Hanzo in the Demigod of the Ninja World. I obtained this scroll, but I haven't established trust with it yet."

Naraku explained softly, then continued:

"I'll give it a try. This guy can breathe fire and poison gas, and he can burrow underground. Hopefully, it won't give me too much trouble."

A swirling wind appeared in Naraku's palm, forming a scroll one meter tall. Naraku unfurled the scroll, bit his finger, and quickly wrote his own name after Hanzo's name on the scroll. He then smeared his blood on the palms of his five fingers and pressed his handprint onto them.

"The contract has been signed. There are many expensive machines here, so summoning them here would be inappropriate. Follow me."

Naraku his instructions, then walked out of Area 9 along the way he came, and strolled leisurely to the outside of the laboratory.

Everything in this laboratory could be considered Naraku's property, Naraku didn't want to cause any damage because of his Summoning Technique.

"Call..."

Naraku a breath, his hands quickly Hand Seals, and the Summoning Technique swiftly took shape. Naraku then pressed his right hand onto the ground.

"Summoning Technique!"

Bang!

A huge plume of smoke appeared out of nowhere, and from within it emerged a giant brown Ibuse.

"Ibuse? Hanzo's Summoning Beast, the Salamander Hanzo, is truly remarkable!"

Hiruko, who had followed Naraku out, exclaimed in amazement at the Ibuse that Naraku had summoned.

The Ibuse, also known as the giant salamander, is an amphibian with very small eyes, smaller than the spots on its body.

The Ibuse summoned by Naraku let out a baby-like cry, realizing that it was not its usual master who had summoned it.

Naraku looked at the Ibuse making a baby-like cry before him, gathered Chakra in his throat, and called out:

"Ibuse, I summoned you. Are you willing to obey me?"

The Ibuse's tiny, almost invisible eyes seemed to be scrutinizing Naraku, and it let out another cry like a baby's wail.

This was the first time Naraku had summoned Ibuse, and he didn't know what it meant. Chakra beneath his feet, leaped onto the Ibuse 'Ibuse, and patted its head.

The Ibuse continued to cry like a baby, without shaking its head or wagging its tail in any way.

"Turn around."

Naraku issued the command in a deep voice.

Upon hearing the words, the Ibuse at his feet shook its head and tail, turned around, and then walked forward.

Although this Ibuse cannot speak and has poor eyesight, its intelligence doesn't seem to be very low.

Its compliance relieved Naraku. Remembering the Ibuse's abilities, Naraku shouted:

"Ibuse, spray poison!"

As soon as Naraku finished speaking, he felt the Chakra within the giant beast beneath his feet surge and circulate, seemingly about to condense into Poison Mist Breath Chakra out.

"Ibuse, stop! Stop! Stop spraying!"

Seeing this, Naraku spoke again, Ibuse beneath his feet opened its mouth wide, spewing out a faint purple mist. The purple mist drifted onto the tree branches, and the branches quickly withered.

The purple mist dissipated with the air and quickly vanished. The Chakra within the Ibuse's body also began to dissipate, halting the Ninjutsu it was preparing.

"These Ibuse are quite obedient, not bad at all. How many Ibuse are on this Summoning Scroll? Let's try summoning them again."

With a thought, Naraku jumped down from the head of the Ibuse and Hand Seals.

Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei

"Summoning Technique!"

Bang!

As Naraku's Chakra was depleted, a huge cloud of smoke billowed out, and another enormous brown Ibuse appeared, its size comparable to the previous one.

"Really? Let's try again!"

Seeing that the spirit had indeed appeared again, Naraku once again Hand Seals and slammed them onto the ground.

"Summoning Technique!"

Naraku's Chakra was depleted once more, and in a puff of smoke, another Ibuse appeared.

"Three? Hanzo has so many Ibuse? Give me more!"

Naraku hand Hand Seals and used the Summoning Technique again, pressing his large hand down onto the ground.

"Summoning Technique!"

This time there was no movement. The two Ibuse that were summoned later, like the first Ibuse, faced Naraku, seemingly curious about the person who summoned them.

"If they didn't summon any, then there must be three. After all, the Ibuse isn't Summoning Beast from the Three Sacred Lands."

Naraku made his judgment, then looked up and carefully examined the two Ibuse that had come from behind, and shouted:

"I summoned you here! The Land of Rain is no longer safe for you. From now on, you will follow me, and I will protect you!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two remaining Ibuse made a sound like a baby crying, just like the first one had.

"Naraku, I've come to draw some blood to cultivate the Summoning Beast in the laboratory."

Hiruko to Naraku's side, looked at the three giant Ibuse in front of him, and said to Naraku with great interest.

"Hmm, these guys are very well-behaved. From now on, let them live on the Island of Oblivion. They'll also serve as reference data for you, Hiruko."

Naraku noticed that these Ibuse seemed quite docile, and he couldn't help but feel a bit fond of Ibuse.

"Don't move, we need to draw one vial of blood."

Seeing that Hiruko had already taken out a large syringe and was moving towards the Ibuse, Naraku noticed the Ibuse making sounds as the stranger approached. Naraku sensed that they were a little nervous, so he spoke up to reassure them.

Upon hearing the words, the three Ibuse quieted down and Hiruko to collect their blood.

"Alright! You three, remove the Land of Rain's territory coordinates. From now on, live on the island. Find a place to rest on your own. I'll summon you later!"

The three Ibuse let out a cry and turned to leave. The three giant beasts stomped their limbs on the ground, making a rumbling sound.

Naraku, seeing that Hiruko had finished drawing blood, shouted loudly again.

Summoning Technique that summons allies through a blood pact. The duration of the summoning depends on the caster's Chakra. The Summoning Technique can also be automatically dispelled, returning the Summoning Technique to their previous lair.

However, after communication between both parties, Summoning Beast agrees or does not resist, the contractor can use Summoning Scroll to change the previous nest and bind it to another location.

The Ibuse haven't received Hanzo's summons for a long time, and the number of Rain Ninja who keep them is gradually decreasing until they disappear. Some of them are intelligent and realize that their survival is in crisis.

Their new owner Naraku, used his spiritual powers to calm them down.

"The Ibuse is enormous and has four limbs. By combining it with snake-like creatures, and with some proven safe fusion data, it might be possible to create an even stronger Flood Dragon- type Summoning Beast."

Hiruko in high spirits after collecting blood samples from the Ibuse.
