When it appears again.
Sanan Senju's longsword had already sliced through the tiger's head, which was nearly a meter in diameter.
"Bang! Bang!"
The body is the body, and the head is the head.
The tiger, now in two pieces, fell directly to the ground.
Seeing that the obstacle had been removed, a fully armed woman with light purple hair quickly stepped forward and picked up the tiger's head.
She positioned the tiger head and quickly formed hand seals.
Ninja Art: Mind Reading Technique
The Ninjutsu used for interrogation was activated, and the pale purple-haired woman with her eyes closed quickly browsed through the tiger's memories.
It's important to know that they only managed to capture this tiger using Ninjutsu, with the Jonin.
With that kind of strength, they could easily become the dominant power in the surrounding area.
So the woman began to carefully review the tiger's brief memory!
From the moment it emerged from my stomach until it died by the knife.
After a moment, the woman spoke, "The tiger's den is not far from here in the East South. There are four tigers in the den: a mother tiger and three cubs. The mother tiger is around a mid-level Chunin."
"About a kilometer from here, there is a small hill, where a herd of sheep-like spirit beasts live."
"The alpha female is no less powerful than the tigress, and the flock consists of approximately 170 sheep."
"Three kilometers away from here, in Yamanaka, there lives a family of four leopards, the two larger ones being about as strong as this tiger."
"About seven kilometers from here, there is another group of fifteen bears, among whom the male bear king is just as strong as this tiger."
"Apart from these, there are no more beasts possessing Chakra within a ten-kilometer radius."
"But in the tiger's memory, there is a large valley about thirty kilometers away from here, where a pack of wolf-like spirit beasts live."
"The wolf king's strength is unknown, but the strength of his alpha wolves alone is already comparable to that of this tiger. There are no detailed records of their numbers, but judging from the parts of the tiger's memory that have surfaced, the wolf pack is quite large."
Shh! Shh!
The pen tip kept striking the paper.
Apart from the recording and the voice of the woman with pale purple hair, there was no other noise that disturbed the two.
They explored the East, forging ahead on their journey.
They also encountered almost no animals possessing Chakra.
It wasn't until they encountered this tiger that they had their first opportunity to quickly gather intelligence.
But after hearing all this, the Jonin the team Sanan Senju, couldn't help but furrow his brows.
It's important to know that this tiger is quite powerful; it's at least a summoning beast of the Chunin to Jonin.
How could so many beings of equal strength be detected from these memories?
Is this truly worthy of being called the Summoning Island?
But with so much stuff within a ten-kilometer radius, the difficulty of their exploration suddenly increased dramatically!
Faced with this situation, which was neither good nor bad, Sanan Senju pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly and continued to lead the team forward to investigate!
The decision wasn't his; his task now is to gather as much information as possible.
This way, Uka Senju will have more reference materials when making a decision!
When Uka Senju's party arrived at the Summoning Island to begin their mission.
A person with pale skin and wearing a yellow robe suddenly appeared in Ryūchi Cave, one of the Three Great Sage Regions for summoning beasts in the Shinobi World.
"You've arrived! Come in quickly, the immortal is waiting for you!" The green-haired Tagorihime Tomoe, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the previously empty Ryūchi Cave, smiling as she spoke to the newcomer.
As a contractor of Ryūchi Cave, he seemed to be used to Orochimaru's sudden appearance.
He bowed slightly and greeted her with a cool voice, "Greetings, Tagorihime. I'll trouble you to lead the way!"
Despite the girl's youthful appearance, he knew her background very well.
He had seen the other person's true appearance the first time he came here!
Furthermore, it can be considered absolutely second only to one snake and above Manda within Ryūchi Cave.
In a place where status equates to power, he couldn't help but act amiably!
He nodded and accepted the courtesy from the only contractor currently standing before him.
The young girl-like Tagorihime smiled and turned to lead the way for this person!
The person behind him, who had been there many times, was not unfamiliar with the route leading into the cave.
But without a guide, the only outcome of venturing into Ryūchi Cave is being subjected to endless attacks.
Unless I reach the level of those ahead of me, I don't want to walk this path alone.
That's just pure despair!
Knowing this, Orochimaru closely followed the person in front of him.
We continued along this cold, gloomy road!
After a long while, it passed through many prying eyes.
Orochimaru followed the person in front of him into a temple.
"Greetings, Orochimaru has arrived!" Tagorihime said softly as she approached the White Phosphorus Snake.
"Oh?" Upon hearing the sound, the White Phosphorus Snake slowly opened its eyes.
When it saw the person in front of it clearly.
A strange fluctuation appeared around its body.
In the midst of this fluctuation, the spot where the large snake had originally been on the stone seat was taken over by an old woman.
This old woman had white hair and a face that seemed to be smiling all the time.
But when it opened its mouth, it uttered a voice completely at odds with its appearance, filled with a chilling aura. " Orochimaru, do you understand why I summoned you here today?"
"Having seen the sage, Orochimaru has some guesses!" A voice of the same type as the one above replied.
"Alright, alright, then the old woman won't need to trouble herself!" Nodding, it smiled and looked at the people below, saying, "Same rules as the Toad: come here and find a snake willing to sign a contract."
"But don't worry about safety, I've already given the orders!"
Upon hearing the words of the person above, Orochimaru quickly bowed and said, " Orochimaru understands, thank you for your trouble, Sage!"
The first sentence above reflects his thoughts on his own survival rate and whether the teacher would be willing to send someone.
After all, as the only contract holder of Ryūchi Cave, what he experienced back then was not very friendly!
But when the second sentence above came out, he suddenly understood why the teacher had said he believed it as soon as he got home that day!
There's no way around it, these two Sacred Land have already given too much.
And it's all free!
How could someone as knowledgeable about the abnormal nature of Ryūchi Cave not be terrified by the prophecy?
If the test is conducted in the same way he did when he arrived, then a success rate of 10 out of 100 people passing would be considered quite good.
Can safety be guaranteed?
Doesn't this reduce the difficulty of signing contracts to zero cost?
As long as those who come in don't act like fools and provoke the beings Ryūchi Cave.
As far as he knew, as long as someone was willing to offer blood sacrifices, the visitor would never leave empty-handed!
Ignoring the little guy's thoughts below, I finished telling the story.
The old woman at the head of the table then took out a large Scroll from beside her and tossed it to those below.
The scroll Orochimaru carried was a contract Scroll belonging to Ryūchi Cave.
This new scroll, however, contains Scroll featuring specific snake species.
This thing was created after it learned about how to play at Mount Myōboku!
If you sign this, then you can say that you don't even qualify as a person from Ryūchi Cave.
He's completely different from Orochimaru!
This way of playing won't break the rules set back then!
"Bang!"
Orochimaru raised his hands to catch the object, which was almost as tall as a person, bowed, and then hung it behind his back, awaiting instructions from the other side.
There was nothing he could do; being in someone else's territory, and being a Jonin who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he perfectly exemplified what it meant to stand like a lowly henchman!
After the gift was given, the White Phosphorus Snake, which had transformed into the form of an old woman, lost interest in speaking.
It raised its hand to the side as a gesture, then closed its eyes on its own and ignored everything else!
It has been more than ten days since the Toad brought the message!
As for intelligence information about the Senju, it had also gathered quite a bit.
Actually, at first it was thinking of seeing if it could stand in the middle and observe.
But the appearance of the Wood Release technique and the person standing behind the Toad immediately dispelled its idea of watching the show!
A damaged Wood Release, and nothing unusual about it except for the initial Wood Release?
This is the Shinobi World, yet the speed difference is so huge.
That gave up any thought of waiting and seeing!
Receiving a signal from the person in the seat of honor, Tagorihime, dressed in a white robe, once again strode outside.
Upon seeing Tagorihime's actions, Orochimaru, carrying the Scroll, bowed again to the person in the upper seat.
Then he followed Tagorihime and left the temple!
He had been waiting in the village for so long since the last time, waiting for this thing to arrive.
After handing over the Scroll, he could leave the village and return to the laboratory to continue his experiments!
As a result, Orochimaru, who was following behind Tagorihime, unconsciously quickened his pace!
Summoning Island.
While the three teams were away scouting, they took advantage of the time.
A simple camp was quickly set up by a group of Ninja!
After finishing this task, at Uka Senju's instruction...
The smaller teams that didn't need to be backup began resting and preparing their meals.
Meanwhile, Uka Senju and her eight companions waited for the return of the last reconnaissance team.
They then returned together to the makeshift camp!
Once the information is compiled and categorized, a small, sand table-like object will be created.
They appeared inside the tent in the center of the makeshift camp!
Looking at the intelligence reports brought back by their subordinates, everyone present couldn't help but secretly marvel!
"Are there really so many summoned beast clans within such a small area?" Sekisei Senju asked, looking at the sand table with a somewhat bewildered expression.
When asked about the supplies he brought on the ship, he was still confident that he had enough!
But after looking at the sand table, he suddenly lost that confidence.
Because within just these few dozen kilometers, a medium-sized group of spirit beasts has already appeared.
There are as many as three small ones, not to mention the numerous single ones!
Here, "small" refers to a group of summoning beasts consisting of a dozen or more Chunin or higher.
Those with three, four, five, or six heads can only be counted as single individuals!
Furthermore, this number was selected according to the Senju standard.
Like the monkey valley that Kenchū Senju encountered, the monkeys there were the kind of summoning beasts that Senju had relegated to the trash type.
Although the opponent also had more than a dozen Chakra monkeys, they weren't even small-sized!
In other words, Sekisei Senju saw these that were specifically marked.
This is a group that is worthwhile for the Clan to collect!
Although the main purpose of this trip was to summon bird-like creatures, seeing the information on the sand table...
Everyone felt that perhaps only by experiencing all categories could the trip truly be considered worthwhile!
In Uka Senju's eyes, besides these spirit beasts that could help the Clan...
His gaze mostly lingered on those clans that had not been chosen by their Clan!
This... if you add it all up, and then consider the entire island, imagine how vast its energy reserves would be!
But after a brief moment of elation, he became aware of other problems.
Medium-sized beast packs can be suppressed by force, but it seems that force is not an effective method against large beast packs.
And on such a large island, there is a medium-sized island in only a fraction of its area.
Surely there must be large ethnic groups inside?
We should at least wait until we've ascertained the situation of the large beast herd before engaging in a large-scale slaughter of spirit beasts.
To avoid causing trouble and disrupting the mission!
After all, summoned beasts that can become large can almost be said to possess a certain degree of intelligence!
Without knowing each other's likes and dislikes, acting recklessly could really lead to trouble!
" Lord Uka, do you think we should go collect the birds first, or head towards that direction and collect them all the way?" Kenchū Senju's finger intentionally or unintentionally traced the direction in which he had detected the medium-sized summoned beast group.
I understood what these subordinates meant.
This coincided with Uka Senju's initial idea.
So he picked up the File containing information about medium-sized herds and examined it carefully!
' Bear Valley ' is the name given to him by Kenchū Senju.
According to the survey, Bear Valley is home to more than 5,000 bears that resemble dog bears with inverted V-shaped white patches on their chests.
Among them were two bears, one male and one female, each about ten meters tall.
There are over 230 of them, some of which are 5 to 7 meters tall!
There are more than 500 of them that are 3 to 5 meters tall!
What remained were ordinary bears that showed no trace of Chakra.
Kenchū Senju secretly infiltrated the area to investigate and confirmed that Bear Valley Land had never been under contract.
He also discovered that some of these bears were already able to speak.
Most of these bears are either of the Earth or Earth-Water attributes!
Their fighting style is mostly based on close combat combined with Ninjutsu...
Looking at the information in her hand, Uka Senju finally understood why Kenchū Zhong had been subtly and overtly expressing his desire to go there.
Based on this information, Bear Valley is indeed very suitable to be Senju Clan Ninja!
So he put down the documents, looked up at everyone present, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go here first, and then head towards the mudflats in this direction."
Upon hearing Uka's decision, both of the Senju present smiled in unison.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Uka Senju added with a smile, "But, Sekisei, you've also seen the current situation."
"That number of Scroll is definitely not enough. You six members of the sealing team need to find a way to produce enough Scroll in the next few days."
"You all know the Clan's situation. We're not worried about not being able to afford to support them; our only concern is not having enough summoned beasts to use!"
"You all still need to shoulder this responsibility!"
Choose the direction that Kenchū Senju mentioned.
Besides being able to acquire a medium-sized group, another advantage is that there is only one worthwhile target in this direction: ' Bear Valley '!
This means that everything he encounters along the way will fall within his killing spree!
Such small-scale killings mean there's no need to worry about any other issues.
"Yes, Lord Uka, rest assured, I will arrange it right away. We have some of these materials with us." Sekisei Senju replied with a clear smile and a bow.
The purpose of this trip is to elevate the Clan's status.
As a member of the Senju faction, you start the game with a group of summoned beasts that are compatible with the Senju faction.
The only cost of this information was that a few of them would be busy for a while!
How could he be unhappy because he's busy?
Nodding to indicate that she understood, Uka Senju looked at Kenchū, Furin, Kaun, "We just arrived today, let's not move for now."
"Once the shifts are arranged, everyone can start resting."
"We're tentatively setting off early tomorrow morning. We'll leave this makeshift campsite there and head towards Bear Valley!"
"Yes, Lord Uka!" The three bowed slightly and accepted the order.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Kenchū Senju took Sekisei Senju and left the tent to attend to their own affairs.
After the two left, he looked at the two friends who remained in the tent.
Uka Senju frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "I want to go out for a bit, you guys..."
"Let's go together. What are you doing running around here all by yourself?" Aburame Kaun interrupted.
Inuzuka Furin didn't say anything, but she silently nodded, expressing her attitude.
Looking at her two teammates, friend, and Fiancée, Uka Senju thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's go together!"
The prophecy itself has already revealed a lot about him.
There are some things that are important to these two people who have always lived with them.
Actually, there's no way to hide it, or rather, there's not much need to hide it!
Just like last time in the Capital, his unusual killings didn't bother the two of them; in fact, they helped cover it up!
So the three men and the dog walked out of the tent, and after giving Kenchū some instructions, they left.
They resumed their previous routine and continued their journey through the forest!
We chose a different direction from what we would be heading tomorrow, and left the campsite about a kilometer away.
Uka Senju stopped in her tracks, circulating her Chakra and placing her right hand on a Daiki.
Under his precise control, the Daiki shrank considerably.
And on the ground, there were thousands of dark green to black wooden Senbon!
"You two each take one. Use this to shoot them later if you can!" Uka Senju gave the instructions without explaining anything to the two people in front of her.
Upon hearing this, Inuzuka Furin and Aburame Kaun did not inquire further.
They immediately knelt down and distributed the items into their Ninja Tool Pouch!
Only then did the three of them silently create distance between themselves and begin to attack everything around them.
whoosh--
whoosh--
whoosh--
The Senbon were imbued with Chakra and thrown out.
In the hands of two Jonin and one Special Jonin.
They exemplified the Shinobi World's law that if you get stabbed, you'll die!
It relentlessly slaughtered every living being within its attack range!
[Energy +5]
[Energy +11]
[Energy +121]
[Energy +7]
[Energy +89]
[Energy +9]
[Energy +...]
With the help of the two, the notification bar below Uka Senju's left eye began to jump around incessantly.
As for those ninja beasts that Senbon couldn't kill, he would finish them off with Wood Release after his two friends had killed them.
The actions of her friend and Fiancé made Aburame Kaun and Inuzuka Furin immediately understand their meaning.
So the two of them cooperated even more closely.
Sometimes, Uka Senju is unable to unleash her Ninjutsu due to distance.
After killing the ninja beast, they would insert a wooden Senbon into its corpse.
This invisibly increased the speed at which the three of them moved forward!
Uka Senju originally planned a journey of four to five hours.
In just over three hours, they returned to the place where they had distributed the Senbon.

[Energy: 1433219]
The three of them stopped here to rest.
Aburame Kaun and Inuzuka Furin immediately used methods to remove the smell of blood from their bodies.
Uka Senju first glanced at the data panel to confirm the general gains of the day.
Only after closing the panel did he begin to perform the same actions as his companions!
Around 28,000.
This is what the three of them accomplished after more than three hours of work today!
Of those he killed on the sea, he only obtained a very small number.
Because everyone was underwater, he couldn't go down to retrieve it under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Although those people were all from one of the Clan, most of them were either Senju or loyal to them.
But after all, they can't compare to these two!
In the past three hours, we only encountered a few dozen ninja beasts, yet they provided nearly half of the energy.
The other half came from the various wild beasts they encountered along the way!
Unfortunately, the difference between wild beasts and ninja beasts is simply too great.
Otherwise, given the sheer number of wild beasts, he could have earned at least several hundred thousand energy points from this wave!
"I won't explain why, and don't ask, don't say, and don't overthink it." Spraying some of the Clan's deodorizing product on herself, Uka Senju said softly as she sprayed the rest of her body, "You'll understand some things later, but rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who makes prophecies."
"Besides, such a foolish thing is not something I would do!"
The two, who were each dealing with their own problems, heard Uka's words.
Inuzuka Furin nodded slightly and continued her actions.
She didn't think much of it; they'd been together for so many years.
How could she not have any suspicions when the person in front of her was watching her from behind Tenten?
But... what does anything else have to do with her?
Aburame Kaun shrugged and said, "Do you need to tell me? Is this the first day we've met?"
"However, I can help you with this, but...!"
Hearing Kaun's pause, Uka Senju turned to look at him with some surprise.
After so many years of relationship, he thought that Aburame Kaun wouldn't say anything!
