Ryūchi Cave's Giant Snake, Garaga

Chapter Forty-Nine: Ryūchi Cave's Giant Snake, Garaga

Ryūchi Cave.

For decades, no suitable human had come to sign Ryūchi Cave's summoning contract scroll.

Some of the older giant snakes longed to visit the Warring States Ninja World, but they had never encountered a ninja strong enough to sign a contract with them.

But suddenly, a distorted force of space-time pulled at a blood-red giant python in Ryūchi Cave, forcibly summoning the massive snake—more than fifty meters long—away from Ryūchi Cave.

"The scent of the Ninja World!"

"Who the hell summoned me?!"

The moment Garaga appeared on the battlefield, everyone looked at him with awe. The feeling made Garaga rather displeased, and he wanted to immediately sweep through the area and kill the human ninjas who looked like tiny insects.

"It was me. I am your summoner."

Uchiha Jobu leaped onto Garaga's head and said coldly, "Good. I thought I'd get someone barely worth looking at. I didn't expect to summon a monster like you."

"A monster? Brat, do you want to die?"

"Submit to me, and I'll let you feast on your enemies' corpses as snacks on the battlefield."

"A mere human brat wants me to submit? What a joke!"

Faced with the oppressive aura unleashed by the giant snake, Uchiha Jobu showed no fear. Instead, excitement flashed in his eyes. Being able to obtain a Ryūchi Cave summoning contract scroll—one of the three great sacred lands—from the box was simply incredible luck.

The more domineering Garaga was, the stronger he proved himself to be. Uchiha Jobu was immensely excited. Gaining a summoned beast with a body comparable to a Tailed Beast meant his strength had suddenly risen several levels.

"Sharingan! Genjutsu!"

Even a Kage Level expert like Orochimaru had failed to earn Manda's acknowledgment. Every time he summoned Manda, he had to prepare a sacrifice, or else he would have to fight the rebellious snake before even facing his enemy.

Uchiha Jobu naturally knew that powerful summoned beasts were all proud creatures. Either one had to serve them well and win their acknowledgment through charm, or suppress them with strength and forcibly become their master.

"So huge!"

"Is such an enormous summoned beast also part of the Uchiha Clan's foundation?"

"This is troublesome. The largest summoned beast contracted by our Senju Clan is only around ten meters long. It has no chance against this giant snake."

"Can a forbidden technique kill a monster this large?"

Seeing Garaga being summoned and feeling the pressure brought by his enormous body, they knew that with their own strength, they absolutely could not defeat a monster as large as a small mountain.

But the Senju Clan's contracted summoned beasts simply did not have bodies of this size.

So the only method they could think of was a forbidden technique.

Tobirama Senju had just developed a new forbidden technique. He had originally intended to save it for Uchiha Jobu or Izuna Uchiha, but unexpectedly, he would now have to demonstrate it on a giant snake.

A Three-Tomoe Sharingan genjutsu was fundamentally incapable of suppressing a giant snake like Garaga. Uchiha Jobu knew that the Three-Tomoe Sharingan's ocular power was not strong enough, but since that was all he had, he decided to test its effect first.

Obviously, it failed.

Garaga became even more frenzied, wanting to throw the figure atop his head off before swallowing him in one bite.

Feeling the violent shaking beneath his feet, Uchiha Jobu instantly coated his feet with chakra, sticking himself to Garaga's head so he would not be flung off by the giant snake's movements.

"Forbidden Technique! Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique!"

He only had time to clearly hear those words before he could even remember whose voice it was. Then came a continuous series of thunderous explosions, even more violent shaking from the giant snake beneath his feet, and flames soaring into the sky.

I hope it kills it. Otherwise, I have no way to deal with such a monster.

The forbidden technique Tobirama Senju had just developed was created by combining the Summoning Technique and sealing techniques. He had to thank the Uzumaki Clan for contributing their research materials, or he could never have developed such a terrifyingly powerful forbidden technique.

The Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique could instantly leave a formula on a target's body. Once activated, the formula would automatically and continuously summon Explosive Tags until the target was blown apart.

"It's Tobirama Senju!"

The giant snake Garaga beneath his feet finally stopped shaking violently.

Uchiha Jobu instantly remembered who the voice he had heard belonged to.

Garaga roared, "Human brat! I'll listen to you for now, but you have to find the one who attacked me. Otherwise, I'll eat every single member of your clan!"

Garaga was currently in a berserk rage. The fury in his crimson eyes was plain to see—the red glow spilling from them was nearly as intense as the Sharingan's. His anger was naturally beyond imagination.

Izuna Uchiha silently turned and left, abandoning the target he had chosen to avoid getting caught in the battle between Uchiha Jobu and Tobirama Senju.

Moreover, once a monster as huge as a small mountain started moving, it would be absolutely terrifying. If an ordinary ninja's body was struck even once, they might be crushed into a slab of flesh in an instant.

Therefore, making room was necessary.

However, that did not mean Izuna Uchiha had no target. With a casual strike, he sent two Senju ninjas who had rushed over to attack flying. Expressionless, he activated the hidden ocular technique of the Ketsuryūgan in his eye sockets. An eerie scarlet light instantly bloomed, turning the two Senju ninjas into living bombs.

Boom!

Rumble!

The shockwave unleashed by the terrifying explosions was comparable to the power of a Wind Release ninjutsu.

At least six people were killed when the two Senju clansmen exploded as living bombs. Among them were a Jonin of the Senju Clan, as well as ninjas from the Uzumaki Clan and Sarutobi Clan.

If anyone had the best luck on the battlefield, it was probably the Shimura Clan. Their number of ninjas was simply too small, so they could only attack from the outskirts with ninjutsu. As a result, they did not become the Uchiha Clan's preferred targets for frontal assaults.

However, the Uzumaki Clan, which was on good terms with the Senju Clan, had quite a few ninjas and possessed formidable strength. The moment they appeared, they were relentlessly surrounded and slaughtered by the frenzied Uchiha. When several Uchiha joined forces, no one could withstand them.

And there was a monster like Izuna Uchiha. With a mere gesture, he could cause massive casualties. By striking an enemy's body once during an exchange, he could turn the target into a living bomb that exploded instantly.

When the Fuma Clan and Hagoromo Clan saw the power displayed by Uchiha Jobu and Izuna Uchiha, they instantly felt that their clans had made the absolutely right choice. Fortunately, they had not sided with the Senju Clan. Otherwise, they would be the ones being mercilessly crushed now.
