"Whoosh!" The fierce wind made the doors and windows creak. Shangguan Mo's Wind Eagle landed in its dedicated parking space in his own courtyard.
The moment Watanabe Mousse returned to the Hidden Hot Water Village, he immediately prepared to go and report the mission situation to Zhi Yujing. Originally, a B-rank escort mission didn't require this, but because this one escort mission had drawn out the behemoth that was Root, a terrifying ninja force that could annihilate the Hidden Hot Water with a little carelessness, Mousse had to treat it with caution.
"Are you coming with me?" He turned his head to look at Shangguan Mo, a look of inquiry in his eyes.
He shook his head. "You go. It's just a mission report. I'm not going." He had already discussed the necessary preparations with him. All that was left was to wait for the matter to ferment.
Mousse nodded slightly, then went straight to Zhi Yujing's house.
"All of you, be good! Don't run around in the village! Little Dragon, you're not allowed to take the little ones to dig holes anymore! The foundations of the village are about to be hollowed out by you!" Shangguan Mo turned his head and glared at the "doting" Earth Dragon Beast, instructing it.
A wolf and a dog were circling around the Earth Dragon Beast, jumping and bouncing, hoping that this big brother would take them out to play. And the Earth Dragon Beast was also leaning left and right, very affectionate with this one wolf and one dog. Only the Wind Eagle raised its head proudly, as if it disdained to play with these little ones. But its bowl-sized cyan pupils were secretly glancing at the Earth Dragon Beast, the Earth Beetle, and Little Grey and Little Yellow, who were chasing and playing.
"Chirp! —Little Jia, be careful they don't crush you! Come and play on my back..."
"So sour..." Hearing the Wind Eagle's words, Shangguan Mo couldn't help but feel amused. He hadn't taken these E-rank summoned beasts like the Earth Dragon Beast with him on this escort mission. With their strength, their help to him was already minimal. They might as well just stay at home and guard the house.
"It's been more than half a month since we've seen each other. These guys are actually more affectionate with each other than with me when they meet again..." He felt a little jealous in his heart. "Bullying me for having no friends, huh..."
...
Shangguan Mo returned to his room. Although he appeared very calm and confident in front of others, in reality, he also felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
His current summoned beasts had not yet matured. The C+-rank summoned beast he had originally placed high hopes on—Grey Wolf—was now also in its infancy and could not exert its proper elite jonin strength at all. According to a normal growth cycle, it would take at least a year for Grey Wolf to enter its mature stage.
Originally, he was not in a hurry. Let it develop, let it develop. I also need time to grow. But this escort mission had unexpectedly exposed the traitor in the village, which then implicated the behemoth that was Root. He said he didn't care, but his heart was actually a little anxious.
Danzo... that ambitious, ruthless politician and careerist was not some honest child who would only take a beating and not fight back. He was an old bastard who wouldn't even spit out the bones of his own people. He controlled all the dark forces of Konoha. With Yugakure's size, to want to clash with Root was undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock. So Shangguan Mo could only rely on his own summoned beasts.
Multiple battles had also exposed a problem of his: his fighting style was singular and his attack power was insufficient. He now had quite a few summoned beasts. The Earth Dragon Beast was the big brother of all of them, but now it had been reduced to a ruthless digging machine for entertainment only. The Earth Beetle and the Iron Hedgehog... needless to say. They were now generally placed at home by him to eat and wait for death. The Earth Beetle was okay; it was small and easy to carry. Sometimes when he remembered, he would also take it with him. After all, it was his only defensive summoned beast, with the ability to release the Earth Wall jutsu. It might play some role at a critical moment.
The Blazing Ant Queen was a hardworking egg-laying tool. It usually needed a large amount of organic matter to supplement, and was also not convenient to carry. So now when he went out, he generally only took the real dog and Grey Wolf. The abilities of these two guys could play a decisive role at certain times, but they were also more on the auxiliary side and could not be used as his main combat power.
The Wind Eagle, as a flying summoned beast, was currently also his main output point, but its means were relatively singular. Cheng Yaojin had his three axes. The Wind Eagle just has two attack skills over and over again. Its ability is still too singular.
That exploding fly was purely used by him as a sensory-type summoned beast. As for that one percent chance of an exploding tag explosion's power... he no longer expected them to be able to achieve the luxurious effect of Konan's 600 billion exploding tags in the future. "Next time I go out, I should still bring some Blazing Worker Ants. For an unprepared ninja, they can exert a considerable terrifying power!" he thought to himself.
No one would be on guard against an ant without chakra. But once the enemy was on guard, these ants would not be able to exert much effect. Often, a single ninjutsu would kill a large number of them. Their attack method was rather extreme. It was a matter of either succeeding or dying in the attempt. But the challenges he had to face next were getting bigger and bigger. He was in urgent need of a summoned beast that could provide him with powerful combat strength.
He suddenly remembered that his urea bag containing the synthesis materials had always been kept by that guy, the Earth Dragon Beast. In a while, he wanted to synthesize a summoned beast. He was worried that that little rascal might have already run out to play with the little ones. So he quickly shouted out the door, "Little Dragon, bring me your urea bag."
Then he opened the synthesis panel, preparing to confirm the quality of these materials again. It had been so long, he had forgotten the materials and their quality that he had found in the junkyard before.
Before long, the Earth Dragon Beast came in with a bag slung over its shoulder, opened the sliding door, and crawled in. It obediently lay down, then put down the urea bag. "Go... ing..." It suddenly transmitted a very weak thought. If he hadn't carefully distinguished it, he would have thought he had misheard. "You rascal, you can talk now too?" He patted its head with some surprise, a little joy in his heart. The relatively low-intelligence Earth Dragon Beast could also communicate with him intermittently with its thoughts. This was a good thing. It meant that his summoned beasts had been imperceptibly changing and even evolving all along.
"Go and play!" he said with a smile, patting it, and at the same time, he took the bag from under it. And just in the instant he picked up the urea bag on the ground, his synthesis interface suddenly flashed. The page went from standby transparent to running high-light. The glowing white page in his line of sight immediately attracted his attention.
He was just about to take a good look, but the page suddenly became dim again. He was a little puzzled. Are you playing hard to get? Then he turned his head and saw the Earth Dragon Beast that had just left his palm and was preparing to leave the room.
A flash of inspiration passed through his mind. A look of surprise appeared on his face. He called the Earth Dragon Beast back again. "Little Dragon, come here for a moment."
Taking a deep breath, a trace of anticipation rose in his heart. Although it was already eager to go out and play happily with its little friends, the Earth Dragon Beast naturally could not refuse his request. It turned back again and pressed its head against him.
When his palm touched the Earth Dragon Beast's body, the synthesis panel lit up again as expected. His eyes lit up, and he quickly looked over.
[Urea Bag] + [Earth Dragon Beast] = ???
[Compatibility] 50%
[Material: Urea Bag, Quality (White)]
[Creature: Earth Dragon Beast, Level (E)]
[Synthesis Success Rate] 70%
[Synthesize?]
"My summoned beasts can be synthesized a second time!" he was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.
