"Woohoo! Here we go!"
The moment he saw the Evil God Immortal Body, he felt as though he had soared straight into the sky.
The Evil God Immortal Body—what was that? That was Hidan's constitution.
Even being beheaded wouldn't kill him. As long as his head was put back, it would reattach and heal.
In other words, as long as he didn't run into any Sealing Jutsu, he could run wild in the Ninja World.
"Say, does this mean that as long as I get someone else's blood, I can sacrifice them now?"
[Ha. In your dreams.]
Seeing that Tetsuya's account was back down to just two credits, the Husky returned to its smug, obnoxious expression.
"The evil god immortal body is just a constitution. All it does is make you immortal to a certain extent.
The ability to curse someone to death using their blood comes from a specialized Technique Formula. You don't have that Technique Formula, so keep dreaming."
"..."
Tetsuya fell silent. So aside from not dying, I don't get any other abilities?
But on second thought, that made sense. Hidan did have to perform a technique to curse people to death. It seemed to be called Death Controlling Possessed Blood.
Still, it was fine. There was no need to panic just because he didn't have that Technique Formula. If he could draw the Evil God Immortal Body, he should be able to draw Death Controlling Possessed Blood eventually.
With that thought, he opened his status panel.
[Name: Chiba Tetsuya Age: 16 Identity: Konoha civilian Constitution: Evil God Immortal Body Skills: Chakra Extraction Method, Chakra Sealing Method, Clone Technique Chakra: small amount Possessions: Clone Technique training method, Substitution Technique training method, Transformation Technique training method, Shadow Clone Technique training method, large amount of Chakra ×6, Yellow Weasel Clan Summoning Contract Credits: 2]
Seeing the new additions under possessions, he grew curious.
"Doggo, why is this large amount of Chakra listed under possessions? And just how much is a large amount?"
The dog scratched his neck with his hind leg and said,
[One large amount is about half a Kakashi. You need to claim these amounts of Chakra yourself. Once you claim them, they'll become your Chakra.]
"One is half a Kakashi, so once I claim all of them, I'll have as much Chakra as three Kakashis."
[Yes. I suggest you claim them directly, then seal the Chakra away with the Chakra Sealing Method. That way, you'll look no different from usual to anyone else. When you need it, you can undo the seal and release your true power.]
Lying on his bed, Tetsuya thought for a moment before asking,
"So this is pretty much like Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Technique, then? They both store Chakra."
[There's a huge difference. Mine can seal other people's chakra as well as your own. Can hers do that?]
"But hers lets her keep her youthful looks."
[Tch.]
The Husky scoffed disdainfully.
[You already have the Evil God Immortal Body. Why do you care about that?]
"Ah."
Something suddenly occurred to Tetsuya.
"Wait, am I going to look like this forever?"
Husky didn't answer, which amounted to a silent confirmation.
Tetsuya rubbed himself, but staying sixteen forever seemed pretty nice. Besides, he knew the Transformation Technique, so he could just make himself look older a little at a time.
Then he could fake his death, change his name, and claim to be his own descendant.
With that thought, he looked at the other items. The Shadow Clone needed no explanation. It could create solid clones, just not as many as the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Finally, he turned his attention to the Yellow Weasel Clan Summoning Contract.
With a thought, a scroll appeared in his hand. He unrolled it to find it covered in crooked writing. Though he couldn't read it, it had come from the Damn System, so he could roughly understand what it meant.
He signed his full name in the section for the contractor, then cut his finger and pressed it against the scroll.
In an instant, a ripple of Chakra spread from the contract. Finally, with a pop, it turned into a single strand of fur.
"Uh, that's it?"
Just as he was wondering, a voice rang out.
"Well, well. It's been a long time since anyone managed to sign a contract with our clan. Little fellow, are you the new contractor?"
Tetsuya turned around and saw a yellow weasel that had appeared on top of his cabinet at some point. He was reclining there, propping his head up with one hand and holding a pipe in the other, taking a puff every now and then.
His fur was yellow, sleek, and glossy.
There were black rings around his eyes, while the fur around his mouth was white.
He had a slender body and a long tail with a white tip.
"Yes. My name is Chiba Tetsuya. You're my Summoning Technique beast?"
Tetsuya studied the talking yellow weasel curiously. Really, in both size and appearance, this yellow weasel was no different from the ones he remembered, aside from being able to talk and smoke.
"Heh heh. I'm Huang Bai, a representative sent by the Huang Family. The old master asked me to see whose little fellow had signed a contract with our clan."
"The Huang Family?"
Tetsuya's face couldn't help twitching.
"Are you one of the immortal spirit families?"
"Oh?"
Hearing Tetsuya mention immortal spirit families, Huang Bai grew interested.
"You know about immortal spirit families? Do you want to learn Senjutsu from us?"
"Senjutsu?"
"That's right. Senjutsu."
At that, Tetsuya's enthusiasm faded a little. Apparently, this wasn't the sort of immortal spirit family he remembered. They still followed the Ninja World's path of Senjutsu.
Still, that was fine. After all, Senjutsu was crucial in the later battles.
"Heh heh, honored immortal, I really would like to learn Senjutsu from you. Would that be possible?"
As he spoke, something occurred to him. He dashed into the kitchen and brought out the roast chicken he had bought to celebrate.
"Honored immortal, I don't have much here. I hope you won't mind making do."
Huang Bai's eyes lit up at the sight of the roast chicken.
"Hey, little fellow, you know your manners. Come closer and let me have a look."
Tetsuya offered him the roast chicken, then walked over to the cabinet.
"Hmm, not bad. Your aptitude isn't particularly outstanding, but fortunately, you have some sort of special constitution. If you study diligently and train hard, you might actually manage it someday."
"Really?"
Hearing Huang Bai's words, Tetsuya grew excited. This was Senjutsu—even in the later stages, hardly anyone had mastered it.
"But I'll have to go back and discuss the details with the old master. You're the first person in all these years to successfully sign a contract with us. You should be able to learn it, but it may take some time. Without eighty or a hundred years, you might not succeed. Can you stick with it?"
"No problem. Time is the one thing I have plenty of."
With the Evil God Immortal Body, he wouldn't have to worry about his lifespan.
"Then that settles it. I'll head back first. When the time comes, either I or another clan member will return to teach you Senjutsu. Goodbye."
With that, Huang Bai vanished in a puff of white smoke, taking the roast chicken and his pipe with him.
"What a deal, what a deal! A Summoning Scroll with a whole set of Senjutsu thrown in. I've hit the jackpot."
After tossing and turning on his bed for a while, he was simply too excited to sleep. He decided to claim those three Kakashis' worth of Chakra outright, then began studying the Shadow Clone, along with the remaining Substitution Technique and Transformation Technique.
