After everything had settled down.
Danzo's eyes bulged. He had never expected his prized ninjutsu to be powerless against Yechen.
"Brat, your strength surprises me, but with Baku and me working together, you have no chance of winning."
At those words, Yechen gave him a contemptuous look, as if to ask who had given him that confidence.
"Is that so? Then let me show you my Summoned Beast, too."
"Oh..." Danzo was slightly surprised. According to his intelligence, Yechen did not seem to have formed a contract with any Summoned Beast yet.
Besides, forming a contract with a powerful Summoned Beast in the Shinobi World was no easy task. One either needed the legacy of a renowned master, as with Jiraiya's connection to Mount Myōboku.
Or one had to rely on one's own strength and luck.
As far as Danzo was concerned, Yechen had spent all these years on the battlefield. It was practically impossible for him to have contracted a powerful Summoned Beast.
"Could it be..."
Danzo thought of Orochimaru. The two seemed to have had some dealings. Had he passed on Ryūchi Cave's legacy to Yechen?
But Danzo was, inevitably, overthinking it!
Yechen brought his palms together and formed the summoning Cursed Seal. Unlike others, he did not need blood as a medium and could summon his Summoned Beast directly to his side.
Bang!
A cloud of energy rose into the air, and a blurry figure appeared on the field.
When Danzo saw the Summoned Beast Yechen had called forth, even he, normally stern and unsmiling, could not help laughing at the sight.
"Hahaha, a monkey? Yechen, are you kidding me? This is your Summoned Beast? Don't tell me this monkey belongs to the same family as Hiruzen Sarutobi's Summoned Beast."
Unmoved by Danzo's mockery, Yechen spoke calmly.
