Seeing that Tsunade was still immersed in the joy of receiving the money, Yuzuru quietly wrapped his arm around her waist again.
Tsunade immediately realized what was happening, her smile vanished, and she stared at him expressionlessly.
"Speaking of which, teacher, would you like to establish Summoning Contract with Ten Thousand Fathom Peak?"
Yuzuru quickly interrupted Tsunade before she could finish speaking.
As expected, Tsunade was very interested in Ten Thousand Fathom Peak.
This is a sacred land even older than Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryūchi Cave, a place with the oldest and most authentic Natural Energy cultivation methods on Earth.
Seeing that she seemed somewhat tempted, Yuzuru chuckled softly and led Tsunade to the grassy area outside the Sea Capital.
Then, he Summoning the Gen'a carrying the Summoning Contract, took out the scroll, and had Tsunade her name down, right after Hikari's name.
Ten Thousand Fathom Peak has many races, including the Hakujun, Purple Eagle, and Gen'a, but these are just the strongest few. Only Yuzuru can Summoning with all of these races simultaneously.
Everyone else chose one of them; for example, Kakashi chose Thunderbolt Eagle.
Shisui and Itachi are Gen'a, and of course, so is Mikoto.
What suits you best is the best.
As for why Yuzuru is capable of everything, it's because he knows a little bit about everything.
The Hakujun controls ice and snow; he possesses Ice Release. The Purple Eagle manipulates lightning; he also happens to have mastered Storm Release within the Lightning Pool.
As for the Gen'a, their clan possesses unique golden flames and eyes that can perceive weaknesses. After understanding the principles of Genjutsu and mastering Chakra, they developed top-tier Genjutsu talent, making them a perfect match for the Uchiha Clan.
Yuzuru's ability to Summoning with them was originally only out of Gen'a's gratitude, since it was Yuzuru who brought them the method to reappear in the world.
But ever since that Nine Tomoe Sharingan entered his brow, Yuzuru has also gained top-tier talent, so their relationship has progressed even further.
As for Tsunade, currently, none of the three major avian races on Ten Thousand Fathom Peak are truly suitable for her. However, this isn't entirely true. Even if the attributes don't match, the help provided by powerful Summoning is still considerable.
Most importantly, Summoning Contract is different from Summoning Technique. Tsunade can summon Katsuyu and then contract a top-tier natural creature from Ten Thousand Fathom Peak.
And there's something else: he found the Katsuyu quite pleasing to the eye, at least better than those deceitful Toad of Mount Myōboku and the snakes of Ryūchi Cave.
"Teacher, let me remind you first, this is Summoning Contract I created with the natural creatures of Ten Thousand Fathom Peak. It originates from Summoning Technique, but its essence is different. The two sides are comrades who can completely trust each other. It is not a connection forcibly made through magic. What is needed between us is mutual respect."
Hearing Yuzuru's words, Tsunade nodded.
Don't worry, I understand the logic.
"Then come with me."
After saying that, Yuzuru naturally put his Tsunade. He didn't care at all about the glare Tsunade was giving him, and directly used the Reverse Summoning Technique to arrive at Ten Thousand Fathom Peak.
Looking at the several floating giant peaks suspended above the clouds, Tsunade's red lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Welcome to Ten Thousand Fathom Peak.
"This place is truly magnificent."
Looking at the giant peaks linked together by thick, long chains, Tsunade felt for the first time how insignificant the Shinobi World was.
Below the mountain peaks lay rolling clouds. Tsunade couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that we're really in the sky?"
"To be precise, the altitude here is around six thousand meters. However, Ten Thousand Fathom Peak is surrounded by a huge natural barrier, so basically no one can come into contact with it. I was brought in by chance."
Yuzuru explained with a smile.
Six thousand meters?
Tsunade didn't know how to describe it; all she could say was that these ancient races were truly unimaginable.
In the Shinobi World, there are only a handful of ninjas who can fly, and even then, they can only fly a hundred or two hundred meters high, which is enough to make them invincible. But Ten Thousand Fathom Peak is located six thousand meters above the ground. How is it possible for so many enormous mountains to float in the air, with a combined area larger than the entire Land of Fire?
Tsunade developed a strong sense of curiosity about this place.
"Come with me, teacher, I'll take you to find the Hakujun."
Using the Flying Thunder God, Tsunade was brought to the snow-capped peak where the Hakujun was located.
As soon as she landed, Tsunade instinctively tightened her clothes.
Yuzuru immediately activated Sage Mode, injecting a special ball of chilling Natural Energy into Tsunade's body.
As this chilling Natural Energy spread throughout her body, although it was still very cold, at least it ensured that Tsunade's cells would not be damaged by the extreme cold.
Natural Energy can protect her body.
Yuzuru took off his outer garment and wrapped it around Tsunade, who was freezing and looked like a cunning little chicken.
"Hmm? Yuzuru, you've finished your business? And who is this?"
As a gust of cold wind blew, Tsunade felt the temperature around her drop a little, and she instinctively snuggled closer to Yuzuru.
How cold is it here?
"It's probably around minus seventy degrees Celsius, but with the Hakujun coming, it'll probably be even lower."
Yuzuru smiled slightly, then looked at Hakujun, "This is my teacher, Tsunade, also known as Princess Tsunade. She's the one who helped me develop and master the Ice Release within me."
"That's strange, your teacher doesn't have Ice Release within her? However, her cell activity and vitality are quite vigorous, and what's that between her eyebrows? So much Chakra."
Hakujun glanced at Tsunade and immediately noticed her difference.
" The Yin Seal, Sealing Jutsu practiced by the teacher, allows the collection of Chakra not used on ordinary days, which can be used as a reserve energy source when needed."
"A good idea."
"Speaking of which, the reason I brought my teacher here is to sign Summoning Contract with your Ice Feather Falcon Clan. What do you think?"
Hakujun looked at Tsunade, who was nestled in Yuzuru's Tsunade, and said, "I have no objections, but I'm worried she won't be able to withstand the low temperatures from those little ones."
Yuzuru tightened his Tsunade on Tsunade, realizing the situation was indeed tricky.
Unlike other races, the Ice Feather Falcon Clan has a relatively low body temperature. After all, they are exposed to extremely cold Natural Energy from childhood, and the energy emitted by each of them causes the temperature around them to be minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius.
This low temperature is actually quite terrifying; it can completely affect the body's cells, and if left for even a short period of time, they will inevitably die.
It seems Tsunade isn't really suited to Ice Feather Falcon. This means her Sage Mode won't be easy to learn either. The temperature on the snowy peaks of the Hakujun is too low. If she were to sit cross-legged there to train, Yuzuru would probably see Tsunade frozen stiff the next day.
"There are actually quite a few other good birds on Ten Thousand Fathom Peak. Would you like me to introduce them to you?"
Are there any other powerful natural races on land?
"There are also Panda Clan, who live deep in the bamboo forests."
"Panda?"
"Yes. The Panda Clan is also very strong, no weaker than us."
Upon hearing this, Yuzuru looked down at Tsunade.
"How is it, teacher? Shall we go take a look?"
"I'm fine with anything."
Tsunade and remained motionless.
There was really no way around it; it was too cold. The Shinobi World had never seen such a cold place before, and her Chakra was almost frozen solid.
"Here, take my feather with you. It'll save you some unnecessary trouble. Your teacher, well, her aura might cause some misunderstandings."
Hakujun gave Tsunade a meaningful look.
"This,,,"
Yuzuru was at a loss for words.
They possess both the Senju Bloodline and the Uzumaki Bloodline. Although neither is particularly outstanding, the combined feeling is indeed very familiar to these natural beings who have fought against the Ōtsutsuki.
"However, she is too weak; she has not yet mastered the hidden power within her."
Tsunade:...
She really wanted to refute it, but faced with the Hakujun, whom the people of Konoha said had suppressed the Tailed Beast the moment he appeared on the Night of the Nine-Tails, she kept quiet.
Yuzuru took a feather from the Hakujun's nest and said with a smile, "Then I'll go down and take a look."
"Um."
Hakujun looked at Yuzuru and Tsunade, seemingly wanting to say something, but didn't say anything directly.
Yuzuru scooped Tsunade, activated Sage Mode, and leaped down from beside the snow-capped peak.
Tsunade held him tightly, and dared not even look at him in the face of the howling wind.
She jumped from 6,000 meters! When had she ever experienced anything like that? It's terrifying!
Looking at Yuzuru, who was hugging her with a smile in his eyes, Tsunade knew that the little rascal was doing it on purpose.
Gritting her teeth, Tsunade refused to look at him and instead turned her head to look at the scenery as she plummeted downwards.
Emerging from the sea of clouds at Ten Thousand Fathom Peak, Tsunade saw this continent, completely different from the Shinobi World, for the first time.
As the sun slowly rose in the east, the land, though covered with many green vegetation areas, appeared somewhat barren and desolate compared to the vast expanse of the earth.
Just before landing, Yuzuru used repulsive force to counteract the impact of the landing, bringing Tsunade down safely.
"Is this a continent completely different from the Shinobi World?"
"Yes, it declined thousands of years ago due to a war with the vanguard of the Ōtsutsuki, but now, thanks to the restoration efforts of nature's creatures, it is gradually regaining its vitality."
"Let's go, I see that bamboo grove."
Yuzuru's azure eyes.
Tsunade, because she didn't understand Yuzuru's eyes either.
It's like he said, Tenseigan, but without losing the Byakugan's function.
Even standing next to her, she could feel an extremely terrifying pressure. Although Yuzuru wasn't deliberately targeting anyone, she still felt it.
Without further ado, led by Yuzuru, the two quickly arrived at the territory of the Panda Clan.
This is a sea of bamboo, a vast expanse of bamboo covering the mountains and plains.
Some of the bamboo stalks were over a hundred meters tall, which truly broadened Yuzuru's horizons.
The tallest bamboo he had ever seen was only a dozen meters or so, but compared to this sea of bamboo, he was nothing.
Fortunately, the bamboo here is not so disorderly. On the contrary, the spacing between them is obviously carefully arranged. Sunlight can shine in from the bamboo tips, not much, but just right, which shows that the planter is very particular.
