Naruto - The Wind Calamity (2)

Chapter 222 : Potential & Limit!

Fujin signed the contract right away with his blood. Ryu carried him away from the peak and flew down the mountain.

As they were flying, Fujin asked, "Ryu, are there others like you guys who can use Senjutsu but can't pass it on to humans?"

Ryu replied, "Of course, there are numerous. The number of species that can use Senjutsu is at least a couple of dozen. And there are numerous wild beasts who managed to learn it on their own. Some of them are very wild and dangerous. Even I wouldn't want to face them in a single combat."

Fujin was surprised to learn that. After all, he didn't see any such creature make a move during the 4th Great Ninja War. But soon he realized, 'Now that I think about it, none of the summons made any major moves during that war. The toads had a larger participation in the fight against Pain rather than against Obito and Madara. Weird considering that they were in danger during the latter rather than the former.'

Ryu continued, "As far as I am aware, only the places you humans consider as the three sacred places have techniques to pass down their methods of harnessing nature energy to humans. Others don't have them or are not interested in passing them down."

A giant cave appeared before them. Ryu stepped into the cave and roared loudly. Surprisingly, his roar had no effect on Fujin. Fujin was impressed, 'What control over his voice!'

Fujin got off Ryu's head. Ryu looked at him and said seriously, "Though we don't have any specified rules, there are a few things you have to follow."

Fujin nodded. Ryu said, "First, none of the Winged Sabertooths you summon should die. While we will give our all to help you, we will undo the summoning and return if we face extreme danger and think death is inevitable. This is especially true for the young ones who still need to grow.

After escaping, we will use Reverse Summoning jutsu to save you unless you specifically ask us not to."

Fujin nodded and said, "That is reasonable. I have no issues with that."

Fujin's main priority was always his own safety. So it was perfectly understandable for him when others have similar priorities.

Ryu said, "Another thing, though you can summon me, don't try it until your chakra reserves get much larger. You will need to have at least 5 times the chakra you currently have to summon me safely. In the meantime..."

Ryu gazed outside the cave. Fujin followed his gaze and saw 3 Winged Sabertooths flying towards them. They entered the cave as Ryu completed his sentence, "In the meantime, you can summon my sons."

Ryu looked at them and said, "This is Fujin. He has become the new summoner of our pride. Introduce yourself."

The 3 Winged Sabertooths stared at Fujin. Though they were smaller than Ryu, they were much bigger than Fujin. The smallest one was almost twice as tall as Fujin while the largest one was half the size of Ryu!

The biggest one said, "I am Kurogane. You can summon me when you are in an intense fight."

He observed Fujin and said, "Though I would recommend at least doubling your chakra before trying to summon me."

The second one said, "I am Kaito. I like going on adventures and flying for a long time. You can summon me when you want to travel long distances."

The smallest one said, "I am Goro. Feel free to summon me whenever you want to."

Fujin nodded and slightly bowed and said, "I will be in your care."

Goro said with a smirk, "Don't worry, I like to protect the ones weaker than me!"
