Obtaining a Second Summoning Beast

Chiye Jun loved girls and pets.

Although he had already obtained Blackie, he wanted a hundred different summoning beasts even more.

When the time came, he would summon them all and become the King of Beasts!

Whether he was out shopping, picking up girls, or fighting, how badass and flashy would that be...

Now.

The chance to obtain his second little companion had arrived!

An idea struck him, and he thought of the escort mission's rank.

"Li... Sister Wanji, you listed this mission as C-rank, but we've already encountered ninja!"

The moment Li Wanji heard that, her delicate body trembled as she looked around in panic.

"Ninja? Where?!"

Damn, she really knows how to act!

"The two men in the puddle just now..."

Only then did Kakashi smack his forehead.

"That's right. By all accounts, this mission has already risen to B-rank, and the payment should increase too."

He was saving money.

He planned to give Guy the same kind of grand birthday gift on January 1 next year...

The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.

The older sister immediately burst into tears, weeping so pitifully that it made everyone's heart tremble.

Playing the sympathy card, she tearfully spoke of the Land of Waves' poverty and Kado's exploitation.

And on and on...

In the end, she promised, "We're not only good at building bridges; we're also first-rate at building houses! If Konoha Village ever needs us in the future... sob... I'll definitely bring a team over to help for free!"

Chiye Jun was thoroughly disdainful.

Hashirama used Wood Release to conquer the world, while Yamato used Wood Release for landscaping!

Wasn't our Konoha "Captain Yamato" good enough?

Could your house-building speed possibly compare with "Captain Yamato's" Wood Release...

Besides, if you refused to resist, you deserved to be ruled.

I only came here to fight Zabuza.

And incidentally give Teacher Kakashi a gift...

Just like in the original story, Kakashi was softhearted. "Fine, the mission will continue."

Chiye Jun got straight to the point. "Then I have one request: we get to name the bridge. Otherwise... the mission will probably have to be upgraded again, right, Teacher Kakashi?"

After saying that, he whispered into Kakashi's ear.

Kakashi beamed after hearing him out, then nodded.

Li Wanji thought for a moment and smiled sweetly.

"All right. I'll discuss it with Teacher Tazuna later. So what name did you have in mind, little brother?"

Chiye Jun pointed with one hand. "The Hatake Kakashi Bridge!"

Kakashi hurriedly waved his hands.

"No, no... Hehe, that wouldn't be appropriate."

Chiye Jun immediately changed his tune. "Fine, then it'll be called the Chi-Naru-Sasu-Hina Bridge!"

Naruto was thrilled to hear that it included a character from his name.

Chiye Jun secretly snickered. You lost three-quarters of it...

Kakashi was caught between laughter and tears. I was only being polite, and you took it seriously...

When Sakura found out afterward, she gritted her teeth in fury.

"Wahh! It should have been the Chi-Naruto-Sasuke-Sakura Bridge!!"

Chiye Jun immediately summoned the system and checked in to complete the mission.

He hoped it would give him an awesome summoning beast.

A roulette wheel appeared.

"Will it be Taotie, Qiongqi, Hundun, or Taowu?"

"Or a divine dragon, Godzilla? If nothing else, MetalGreymon from Digimon would be fine too!"

The wheel spun rapidly.

Then it stopped.

What the hell!

It had actually landed on a tiny butterfly...

Chiye Jun was utterly disappointed and nearly felt like cursing.

The system, however, was rather considerate and knew how to comfort him.

[If you develop too quickly at the start, the plot will fall apart fast... But I guarantee your next summoning beast will be a ferocious one.]

Chiye Jun had nothing to say. He could only sign the contract on the scroll.

[Shadow Butterfly, support-type summoning beast. It can see through invisible enemies and distinguish the original body of any clone technique.]

[At the same time, like the cat demon, it possesses the ability to turn invisible.]

As the words fell.

A colorful butterfly fluttered into view, brilliantly vibrant and graceful in flight.

It landed on Hinata's head, making her look even cuter.

Sure enough, Hinata did not notice anything unusual...

"Fine. Being able to see through clones and invisibility is useful enough. I'll call you Mothra."

Afterward.

The group went ashore and headed toward Li Wanji's home.

At that moment!

A little white rabbit darted out of the woods.

"Little white rabbit, white and bright, loves to eat carrots and greens..."

Hinata picked it up and could not bear to put it down.

Along the way, she had learned quite a bit of Chinese culture...

Chiye Jun naturally knew that the snow rabbit was Zabuza's substitute and immediately stopped Hinata.

"This kind of white snow rabbit only appears in winter. Everyone, be careful!"

After hearing that, Hinata immediately set the rabbit down.

Her hands rapidly formed seals in front of her chest, then froze in place.

"Byakugan!"

All color swiftly drained from her vision, leaving only black and white.

"There really are chakra fluctuations nearby. The concentration isn't high, but it's gradually getting stronger!"

Sasuke and Naruto also drew their kunai and went on guard.

Just then!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

A huge black shadow suddenly arrived alongside a fierce howl of wind.

Kakashi's expression changed drastically as he shouted:

"Everyone, get down!"

Already prepared, Chiye Jun grabbed the stunned Li Wanji and threw her to the ground.

Bang!

A massive blade embedded itself in the high tree trunk.

A man stood atop the blade.

What an ostentatious entrance...

His face was wrapped in bandages. His upper body was bare, while his lower half wore flamboyant striped suspenders.

Momochi Zabuza!

A rogue ninja from the Mist Village of the Land of Water, skilled in Water Release and assassination.

Together with Kisame Hoshigaki, Ameyuri Ringo, and Mangetsu Hozuki, he formed the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

He was now employed by Kado.

He looked down at them coldly, ultimately fixing his gaze on his target, Li Wanji.

His chilling, vicious aura inspired fear.

"Oh, isn't this Kakashi the Copy Ninja?"

"Oh, isn't this Zabuza of the Hidden Mist, the Demon?"

"Hand that woman over to me, and I'll leave immediately."

"Screw you!"

After a round of trash talk, the two immediately went at it!

"You four, form a manji formation and protect Li Wanji. Don't join the battle. This is what teamwork means right now," Kakashi ordered.

Naruto yelled, "Why?! Last time, Xiao Jun took down two of them! This time, it's my turn to show what I can do!"

Chiye Jun grabbed him by the collar and flung him to the rear...

Kakashi lifted his forehead protector.

Three tomoe appeared in his blood-red eye.

The Sharingan!

Sasuke foolishly asked, "Why does he have the Sharingan?"

Naruto blankly asked, "What's the Sharingan?"

Chiye Jun smiled. "No padding. Baidu it for details..."

Zabuza laughed arrogantly.

"But if you can't see, will you still be so powerful?"

The moment his words fell.

An afterimage flashed by, and Zabuza leaped onto the water.

His right hand was held level, his left raised high.

"Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven..."

Then!

Thick fog rose, mist spreading everywhere.

Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!

Zabuza's figure instantly vanished.

Kakashi was dumbfounded.

The Hidden Mist Technique was the nemesis of eye techniques!

Damn it, I uncovered this eye for nothing...
