Chapter 30 The Lost Psychic Scroll
"His mastery of Fire Release and Wind Release must have come from Yekura, right?" Shiba Kiyokawa wondered to himself.
If I remember correctly, Scorch Release should be a bloodline limit composed of fire and wind.
As for the summoning ability that was rewarded later, he was unsure whether it came from the hydrangea he had saved or from the fact that he had managed to keep Hanzo of the Salamander in check.
Both of them are quite skilled in psychic abilities.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa didn't dwell too much on the source of the reward. What intrigued him more was: the system said that the lost summoning scroll would be given to him as an event in the future. How would that be given?
His question didn't last long.
Just two days later, the incident occurred.
That day, a member of the Akatsuki organization came and told Shiba Kiyokawa.
"Qinghe, did you know? Our organization has a new member!"
Several ninjas who fled from the border have joined us. I heard they all come from a small, declining ninja clan. They were moved by Leader Yahiko's ideals and not only joined, but also contributed all the ninjutsu scrolls treasured by their clans to the organization!
Shiba Kiyokawa asked, "What kinds of ninjutsu scrolls do you have?"
"There are quite a few types. I heard there's even a treasured necromancy scroll that they themselves haven't contracted."
"I see," Shiba Kiyokawa realized upon hearing this, "the event the system mentioned has occurred."
It seems that my system probably doesn't have the ability to create physical objects directly outside my body, otherwise it wouldn't need to go through such a long and complicated process to give me rewards.
How can the law of conservation of mass-energy be obeyed in such a strange place?
Afterwards, Shiba Kiyokawa went with the Akatsuki members to meet the new ninjas.
They were gathered around Yahiko listening to his speech.
The theme, unsurprisingly, was something like, "I have a dream, a world where people understand each other."
Shiba Kiyokawa didn't disturb him, but instead smiled and remarked, "Chief Yahiko does have a unique charm in some aspects."
Fortunately, he didn't rush to oust Yahiko. This guy was born to be a judge or a charlatan, a natural-born orator.
If it were Shiba Kiyokawa, he could at most swindle people out of their fortunes, but he would never have the ability to lure people in like Yahiko did, making them willingly give up everything.
Yahiko is not suitable to be a leader, but he is still very good at recruiting new members and doing ideological work within the organization.
Just don't let him take over command.
Shiba Kiyokawa stopped paying attention to the brainwashing process of these fallen ninja clan members and instead asked the person next to him, "Where are the scrolls they contributed?"
"Here, Captain Qinghe, come with me."
These scrolls are now considered public property of the Akatsuki organization.
Soon, Shiba Kiyokawa found the lost summoning scroll in the important supplies warehouse.
"Do you know what kind of summoning beast this is?" Shiba Kiyokawa asked.
The Akatsuki member next to him shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure. According to those ninjas, it's because many years ago, an elder of their clan did something very bad to their summoned beasts during their escape, causing the clan's summoned beasts to refuse to serve their clan anymore."
These younger generation ninjas don't even know what the summoning beasts on the scrolls look like anymore.
Shiba Kiyokawa thought to himself: No wonder the system reward calls this the Lost Summoning Scroll.
It feels like opening a blind box.
Trusting the system, Shiba Kiyokawa did not hesitate for long. Under the surprised gazes of his teammates, he decisively unrolled the scroll, signed his name at the end, and pressed his fingerprint on it.
"Captain Qinghe, won't you reconsider?"
"It's alright, I'll just consider this as paving the way for the organization." Shiba Kiyokawa smiled nonchalantly.
Next, form a mudra with both hands.
Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei!
"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"
With the guidance and advice given in his dream, Shiba Kiyokawa successfully completed the summoning on his first attempt.
With a loud "bang," white smoke exploded, and what appeared in the Akatsuki's warehouse was—
A cute, pure white kitten.
"cat?"
One of the Akatsuki members saw that the white cat was beautiful and couldn't resist reaching out to touch it.
Just as his hand was about to touch the white cat's head...
The white cat on the ground suddenly sharpened its eyes!
A flash of cold light appeared!
"Ah!" The Akatsuki members were so frightened that they backed away, almost thinking that their hands were about to be cut off.
"The cat actually stood up?! My god, is this a ninja cat?"
The other Akatsuki members also exclaimed in surprise, their voices filled with envy and excitement.
These days, powerful and intelligent summoning beasts are monopolized by the Great Ninja Village.
Even a ninja like Hydrangea, who specializes in summoning techniques, can only summon mindless birds and beasts because she was born in a small country.
Even if she were to become the Animal Path Pain in the future, she would still summon mindless beasts, only in much larger sizes.
Ninja cats, ninja dogs, ninja frogs, and the like were things that were unattainable for ninjas from small ninja villages in the past.
Unexpectedly, they witnessed Captain Shiba Kiyokawa contracting a ninja cat!
How enviable!
At this moment, the pure white ninja cat, which had already stood upright and was no longer pretending, raised its paw and said impatiently.
"Making a fuss over nothing, meow. What an ignorant human, meow."
Who among you summoned me? Step forward, meow!
Let me see if you're qualified to be the new employer of Cat Country!
Intelligent spirit beasts will choose their own masters; it's not as simple as just signing your name on a scroll and being done with it.
In the original manga, Naruto went through Gamabunta's test, and in the anime, they struggled with it for a whole day.
Shiba Kiyokawa looked at the kitten in front of him with great interest.
The other person's voice was a clear, sweet, and energetic loli voice, which was quite pleasant to listen to.
"I am the one who summoned you. May I ask how I should address you?" Shiba Kiyokazu asked.
The white cat looked Shiba Kiyokawa up and down, and its scrutinizing gaze softened over time.
"Not bad, meow. Your chakra is quite excellent, and your body is also very strong, meow. Moreover, you don't have the bloodline of that treacherous person."
"So, the contract is established, meow. Young man, do you crave power?"
Shiba Kiyokawa's eyes lit up immediately.
"You can see a ninja's chakra? And you can distinguish human bloodlines?"
These two abilities alone make this ninja cat a great auxiliary scouting partner.
Little did he know that the beautiful white kitten would bring him even more surprises.
"Of course, meow~ Our ninja cats in the cat village have been working as ninja partners for decades, meow. This kind of skill is just a basic requirement for us, meow~"
"So what else can you do?"
"Tama is very good at taijutsu, claw attacks, and throwing. She knows basic sealing techniques, body flickering techniques, sensory ninjutsu, and a little bit of medical ninjutsu. Oh, and I even know your ninja writing system, meow~"
This is truly a treasure of a cat!
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled happily, "So your name is Tama, and mine is Shiba Kiyokawa. I look forward to working with you from now on."
"Sure, sure~ But let's make it clear beforehand, you'll get at least a can of dried fish per hour for each shift, meow~ Xiaoyu's rates are very fair in Cat Village, meow~ I definitely won't rip you off, meow~"
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled, but readily agreed, "No problem, what flavor of dried fish do you like?"
"Spicy Meow~"
At that moment, Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
I feel like I've found a great owner, meow~
