The three of them looked up at this huge creature that didn't know whether it was a spider or a cat, and for a moment they were inexplicably shocked.
Especially Yayoi, who had seen behemoths like Seven-Tails and Nine-Tails, he immediately judged that the size of the giant beast in front of him was slightly taller than the Nine-Tails he saw at Land of Fields a few months ago.
It is unimaginable that such a huge and terrifying creature would be born in nature.
The movement of your feet can shake the earth and vibrate the atmosphere. Every breath you take is a strong wind that blows away sand and rocks.
And judging from the fact that it speaks human words, it is obviously not an irrational beast.
"With this kind of body type, he shouldn't be inferior to Tailed Beasts."
Kicho doesn't know enough about Tailed Beasts. The only Seven-Tails I have seen is not in its full glory. I can only vaguely judge that the size of this giant beast is definitely not inferior to Tailed Beasts.
"Not only in size, Chakra is also very powerful."
Yayoi stretched out his hand, feeling the strong pressure in the air that was as thick as a boulder. It was the Chakra that unconsciously overflowed from the body when the giant beast moved.
This heavy pressure also has a strong suppressive force on ninjas.
The pressure created by Chakra is not as good as Tailed Beasts, but it is not far behind.
Three people and one giant beast confronted each other in this tense atmosphere.
In the end, it was the giant beast that spoke first and took the initiative to break the ice:
"Don't be nervous, I don't want to have a meaningless fight with you."
When Chakra heard the giant beast's momentum softening and spilling into the air, the heavy pressure also subsided a lot. Yayoi slightly lowered his guard, but still stared at the giant beast with vigilant eyes.
After all, if the other party takes advantage of their carelessness and collides with their bodies, it's not a joke.
Except for Yaya, neither he nor Kicho could escape unscathed.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I am the fourth generation patriarch of Tsuchigumo, Tsuchigumo Clan. By the way, my original name was not Tsuchigumo, but I defeated all the elders, so I got the title of 'Tsuchigumo's name. As long as you get this name, you will be the leader of the Tsuchigumo Clan and the strongest person in the clan. Speaking of which, it took me a lot of effort to challenge those elders. I remember that time..."
The giant beast seemed to open a speech clip and began to describe how he used Kamui on the battlefield and defeated the elders of the clan with high spirits and won the title of the strongest in the clan.
Then how did he marry the most beautiful female Tsuchigumo Clan under the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of many tribesmen, and successfully reach the peak of spider life...
Once the words are spoken, it becomes a trend that cannot be stopped.
Yayoi The three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
"Okay, Mr. Tsuchigumo, we already know about your glorious past, so what do you want from us? Also, is what you just said true?"
Yayoi was more concerned about the huge vitality Chakra Tree mentioned by Tsuchigumo, interrupting Tsuchigumo's nagging memories of the past.
"That, of course, is real. The kind of Chakra Tree with extraordinary vitality. Although the quantity is rare, if you look carefully among Spider Mountain, there should be the kind of Chakra Tree you want."
Yayoi interrupted his thoughts, Tsuchigumo was not angry and answered patiently.
"Spider Mountain?"
"That is our Tsuchigumo Clan's residence. It is located at the end of this forest and is protected by the big Barrier. Without the guidance of the tribe, it is difficult for outsiders to find it. Do you want me to take you there?"
Tsuchigumo answers all questions, or to it, this is not a secret at all.
Or, even if others know about it, it doesn't care. That is its confidence in itself and Tsuchigumo Clan's strength.
It's just that Tsuchigumo's honest response not only did not make Yayoi and the other two people lower their guard, but instead became highly alert again.
As soon as it comes up, let people follow it to its lair. Even if you don't have to guess, you know there must be something weird in it.
Although Tsuchigumo seems to have no intentions, on the contrary, it is a bit too straightforward...
"You don't need to be so vigilant. In your human terms, we Tsuchigumo Clan are also the Summoning Beast clan. In the past, our clan also signed contracts with strong human beings and fought in all directions."
As if aware of the vigilance of the three Yayoi, Tsuchigumo explained the past years when Tsuchigumo Clan signed contracts with strong human beings and fought together.
"However, I also hope that you can fulfill one of my wishes..."
Tsuchigumo opened his mouth with a hint of meaning.
The blood-red eyeballs passed over Yayoi and Yaya and landed on Kicho.
To be more precise, it was the weapon Kicho slung on his waist - Kumokiri.
"That knife - Kumokiri, is a precious spiritual knife made from the teeth of my predecessor, Third-Generation Tsuchigumo, mixed with the special Chakra Metal. It is also a key. I need you to use this knife to unlock the seal on Third-Generation Tsuchigumo, so that I can fight with it."
The sudden request made by Tsuchigumo made Yayoi and the three of them a little stunned. Their eyes were all focused on the spiritual sword on Kicho's waist - Kumokiri.
They didn't expect that Kicho's weapons were actually related to the Tsuchigumo Clan's appointment as clan leader.
"What's going on?"
Yayoi took a step forward and stood in front of Kicho, not understanding what Tsuchigumo said.
What is the key to unlocking the seal, what is the need to fight against the previous generation Tsuchigumo.
What the other party expressed was so vague that Yayoi didn't know where to start.
Tsuchigumo was silent for a moment and slowly opened his mouth:
"That was six hundred years ago. At that time, I was still a fifty-year-old boy, and Tsuchigumo Clan was still under the rule of the third patriarch.
The Tsuchigumo Clan of that era was not as powerful as Three Great Sage Lands, but it was also the strongest Summoning Beast clan under the Holy Land. However, something happened one day, which caused Tsuchigumo Clan to suffer heavy losses and was forced to isolate itself from the outside world..."
Yayoi and the other three did not interrupt, and listened quietly to Tsuchigumo telling them about the family history of their clan.
"That was the third generation of Tsuchigumo. One night, he suddenly fell into madness and lost his rationality. The masters of the clan went to stop him, but most of them were killed. As a result, more than half of the elites of the clan died in the civil strife.
The one who finally surrendered to the third generation of Tsuchigumo was Samurai who signed Summoning Contract with us Tsuchigumo Clan. After sealing the third generation, Samurai cut off half of the fangs of the third generation of Tsuchigumo and commissioned a swordsmith to make a knife named 'Kumokiri', and sealed the unsealed power in the knife."
As Tsuchigumo spoke, his eyes were fixed on Spirit Blade: Kumokiri on Kicho, and his tone revealed an extremely complex meaning.
"Samurai? Will Samurai also use Sealing Jutsu?"
Yayoi suddenly became curious.
Tsuchigumo did not answer the question:
"Even ninjas can Sealing Jutsu, and Samurai can Sealing Jutsu. Isn't it a strange thing? In the era more than 600 years ago, the boundaries between Samurai and ninjas were very blurred. They were just different branches that evolved after Ninshū disappeared. After all, they were all groups who learned and mastered Chakra."
Tsuchigumo's clear and coherent words left Yayoi speechless, feeling that Tsuchigumo had an unusual understanding of past history.
However, it may not be an understanding of history, but that it itself may have experienced a stage of historical change.
The history that people are familiar with is only their personal experience.
"That Samurai is..."
"I can't remember the name, so my surname should be 'Yuan'. After helping us seal the third generation, he left Spider Mountain with Kumokiri, and later established a Samurai family. He regarded Kumokiri as the family's inherited treasure, and signed Summoning Contract contracts with us Tsuchigumo Clan over the generations...
Regrettably, the Samurai family has been in decline since two hundred years ago, and even the ability to sign Summoning Contract with us, Tsuchigumo Clan, has been lost. When we wanted to look for it, the descendants of Samurai had fled to nowhere due to the war, and Kumokiri has also been missing since then. "
As he said that, Tsuchigumo glanced at Kicho's eyes.
For those who know something about ninjas, it is clear that this is Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan.
"It seems that the descendants of 'Source' Samurai have been exterminated. Humanity is still too fragile."
There was no anger or resentment in Tsuchigumo's tone, but a merciless sigh for the years and a slight sadness for the fate of Samurai's descendants.
After all, the relationship is maintained by the older generation. When the "old man" passes away, no matter how you maintain the relationship, as time goes by, it will not return to the original closeness.
What's more, at that time Tsuchigumo Clan also had too much time to take care of itself. After losing its strongest leader, its power has been shrinking. During this period, it has experienced many Summoning Realm wars, and it has long lost its former prestige.
"How about it? Do you want to follow me?"
Tsuchigumo sends invitation again.
Nothing could be seen on Yayoi's face, but he was already thinking about the trade-off in his heart, considering whether to follow Tsuchigumo to the Tsuchigumo Clan's lair.
After all, he needs Chakra Tree with huge vitality now. This kind of tree can no longer be found in the forest. If he wants it, he can only go to the 'Spider Mountain' mentioned by Tsuchigumo, the clan of the Tsuchigumo Clan...
"Actually, you don't need to worry. Tsuchigumo Clan Now, except for me, the clan leader, there is no strong person who threatens you... Moreover, your woman is not so easy to deal with, she is very strong."
Tsuchigumo stared at Yaya next to Yayoi. Among the three, Yaya posed the greatest threat to it.
Even the body that is always rioting smells danger.
"Sir Yayoi, Yaya thinks Mr. Tsuchigumo is a good person, so let's follow Mr. Tsuchigumo there and have a look!"
In an instant, Yaya showed Yayoi and Kicho what face changing is.
Just now, he had a cold face ready to start a fight if he disagreed, but in the blink of an eye, he called 'Mr. Tsuchigumo'...
Yayoi glanced at her helplessly.
Yaya This guy, how should I put it... Others have a small head that controls a big head, but she can control the brain even without a head, and she is about to be tricked into talking nonsense.
(This is borrowed from the myth and legend of Minamoto Yorimitsu killing Tsuchigumo. Kumokiri is also the sword of Minamoto Yorimitsu, and it got its name after killing Tsuchigumo. It doesn't matter if you don't know. This is just to enrich the causes and consequences. There is no drama after all, so just know Doichi here.
In addition, in case anyone doesn't know, the large Summoning Beast that appears here is the big monster Tsuchigumo, a famous big monster in the island country. The eight-legged body of a spider, the hair like steel, the face of an owl...
As for the face, it was directly changed to a cat. After all, cat and owl both have the word "cat" and their appearance is similar.)
