Chapter 198: Conquering the Salamander (4K words, please subscribe!)

"then you go."

Yin Yue said.

"Yes—" Xinya said excitedly, "Master, you just need to watch from the shore."

After being silent for so long, it finally has the opportunity to perform again, so it naturally has to seize it.

But it did not act rashly.

Xinya placed everyone on the shore and said, "Master, to ensure that we can catch it, please stop it when it tries to escape."

This sentence is extremely wise.

While exempting yourself from liability, you can also give yourself a layer of non-stick BUFF.

If an accident really happened and they failed to catch the salamander, Xinya would still have an excuse.

"Ah."

Yinyue wouldn't bother with Xinya about these things.

Now that he is here, he will certainly not let the spoils slip away.

Xinya did not hesitate any longer and dragged his huge body into the swamp ahead.

Gollum—

As the giant creature entered the swamp, bubbles emerged from the muddy surface.

Even after entering the middle of the swamp, Xinya's body could still move freely in it.

This is due to its strong and powerful snake body.

Xinya looked around, and as he got closer and closer to the depths of the swamp, his speed slowed down, as if he was wary of something.

The air here can no longer be called air; it might be more appropriate to call it poison gas.

Psychic beasts all have exceptionally sharp five senses, and their senses are even stronger towards other species that are also psychic beasts.

When Xinya appeared in this swamp, it meant that the Salamander Jingfu had also discovered Xinya.

goo goo-

When Xinya moved again, he heard a strange sound around him.

The sound came from beneath the swamp, passing through layers of mud and mixed with bubbles, as if it was a warning from the swamp.

"..."

Xinya's vertical golden pupil shrank, and the red scales all over his body tensed up, and he entered a combat state.

It maximizes its perception, sensing the subtle changes in the swamp.

Once the Salamander Ibushi appears, it will capture the opponent with the fastest speed and most efficient means of attack.

To this end, it has simulated dozens of different ways to restrain the opponent in its mind.

Just when Xinya was still immersed in his own world, he heard a bang.

Then, Xinya felt unusual movements coming from a giant creature swimming near the huge body, just to its right.

But as the loud noise came, it quickly disappeared, and Xinya felt that something was missing in the swamp ahead.

"Not good!" Xinya turned around suddenly and exclaimed: "Master!!!"

Behind the giant red snake, a huge pit suddenly exploded on the surface of the swamp.

The mud splashed and exploded.

Then, a huge salamander with a gray-black body, a round head, bumps all over its body, a brown-white belly, short and thick limbs, and a flexible tail jumped up.

It emerged from the swamp like a mud dragon emerging from the sea, swift and agile.

"It's really here!" Quan's expression changed drastically, and he was ready to fight at any time.

"This is the demigod's spiritual beast!"

Tamao was excited.

He wanted to try riding such a huge salamander now.

Only after Nanfeng was shocked, he looked at Yinyue, but found that Yinyue did not move at all, as if he was already accustomed to such a huge creature.

Just after the Salamander Jingfu appeared, Xinya also twisted his body and changed direction.

"Damn it, it actually ran behind me." Xinya roared angrily and quickly pounced on the salamander that was no smaller than him.

In an instant, the swamp was seen surging, and a huge purple bubble rose in front of Xinya and exploded when it reached the surface of the swamp.

This is a trap that the salamander had set long ago.

Purple poisonous gas was released from the bursting bubbles, forming a barrier like fog.

Poisonous gas floated in front of Xinya, blocking its progress.

Xinya could only retreat backwards.

These poisonous gases are extremely corrosive. When they appear, nearby plants wither instantly.

Even the gray soil of the swamp was covered with a layer of black and purple.

"Owner!!!"

Xinya roared.

The Salamander Jingfu seemed to realize that the humans on the shore were important to Xinya, so while releasing the poison gas, it quickly moved its limbs and pounced towards Yinyue and the others.

It moved across the swamp at lightning speed and reached the shore in the blink of an eye.

It was like a mountain of flesh that was as fast as the wind and rushing towards us with unstoppable force.

hula-

Jingfu's huge body leaped up, and its mountain-like silhouette instantly blocked out the sun in the sky.

The earth was enveloped in darkness.

Quan, Tamao, and Nanfeng suddenly looked up, opened their three magatama, drew their ninja swords from their backs, and protected Yinyue behind them.

If this thing fell from the sky, the four of them would probably be crushed into pieces.

boom--

The Salamander fell heavily onto the shore behind the four people who drank the moon.

It moved its limbs carefully, and faced the four people with its round head.

A unique perception ability emanated from the Salamander Jingfu, ignoring the other three people and falling on Yinyue, as if its attention was all on Yinyue.

After the Salamander appeared, it realized that there was a unique existence among humans.

He is clearly different from the others.

But if you want to know the difference, it is impossible to describe the Salamander using human language.

"..."

Yinyue naturally sensed the force falling on him.

So he used his eight thousand spears spiritual power to connect with it.

In an instant, the huge body of the Salamander Ifu trembled, and it crawled towards the four people involuntarily, and every step made the ground shake.

"Captain!" Quan gritted his teeth and prepared to charge.

When facing a huge monster, even though he is a ninja, he will still have a fear of gigantic monsters like ordinary people.

You know, these summoned beasts in the ninja world are really like mountains when viewed up close.

Generally, only those who have reached the level of Kage and are at the pinnacle of the ninja world can remain calm when facing such a giant.

At this time, Yinyue's mouth corners slightly raised, and he walked out from behind the three people, "It's okay, leave it to me."

He slowly came to the front of the Salamander Ibushi.

One man and one mountain confront each other.

In front of such a huge monster, Yin Yue remained calm and composed as usual.

He looked straight into the round head of the Salamander Ibushi, whose eyes could not be clearly seen.

The two just stared at each other.

But the Salamander Ibushi connected with the spirit of Yinyue through perception.

It saw everything Yinyue had experienced since his defection.

The experiences of this young Uchiha in front of him in just one year seemed to be more exciting than the life of his former master Hanzo.

Compared to humans, it has an extremely long lifespan, but it cannot find a suitable owner.

It can only lie dormant in this swamp.

After all, having witnessed the glory of a demigod, perhaps only the true God in the ninja world could conquer it, but that is an illusory existence.

Hanzo's death was naturally a great pity for it. After all, it did not participate in the battle in which he died.

"What do you think?" Yin Yue asked, "Do you want to avenge your former master?"

Quan and the others were shocked that their captain could communicate so peacefully with the summoned beast.

If the three of them entered this area, they would probably be chased and beaten by the Salamander Ibushi.

For a moment, the Salamander Ifushi used his spiritual thoughts as a medium of communication to convey his thoughts,

Its answer surprised Yinyue a little, as it did not want to avenge Hanzo.

Hanzo is already old. In order to live longer, he hides in the Hidden Rain Village and has lost his former divinity as a demigod.

A Hanzo like this will die sooner or later, and dying at the hands of the enemy will make him more like a ninja than dying of old age.

It's just a pity that it didn't fight alongside him in the end when he died.

Yinyue didn't even think about trying to understand the Salamander Jingfu. After all, this was its freedom as a summoning beast.

After some conversation, Salamander Jingfu also put down his airs, took the initiative to come in front of Yinyue, and spit out a bundle of scrolls from his mouth.

This is a blood contract between the summoned beast and the ninja.

It is rare for a summoned beast to voluntarily surrender its contract, unless it really sees the development prospects of a human ninja.

Otherwise, the ninjas would ask summoning beasts with certain strength to sign a contract.

Quan, Nanfeng, and Tamao looked at him with envy.

They also want to have their own psychic beast, but unfortunately, they have never found a good one.

There are quite a few of them, Shinobi Cat.

But there was no huge monster, otherwise they could show off to each other.

the other side.

In the swamp.

Xinya was confused. It was still thinking about how to escape from the poison gas and subdue the salamander.

result…

Salamander voted?

"What if I don't agree?"

Yin Yue said calmly.

The salamander raised its head, as if looking at Xinya who was surrounded by poisonous gas in the swamp.

It used its mind to tell Yinyue that if he disagreed, it would use poison gas to detain Xinya here. It would not kill Xinya, but the four of them could not think of riding Xinya back for the time being.

If Yinyue wants to use the reverse spiritualism technique to save Xinya, it will attack Xinya.

"Heh..." Yinyue shook her head. She didn't expect that this was a salamander with its own personality.

Quan and the other two standing by had no idea that the two had already engaged in a game of chess.

"alright."

Yinyue opened the contract scroll and took a glance.

The first name on the scroll is already blank. Apparently, after the death of each successive owner of the Salamander Ibushi, the name will disappear from the scroll.

Yinyue wrote her name on it.

This is the end.

The two parties successfully concluded a contract.

The Salamander Jingfu made two "gu gu" sounds, which came from its cheeks and were no longer like the baby sounds that ordinary gillfish could make.

Then, it moved its huge body to the edge of the swamp, opened its huge mouth, and inhaled air.

The next moment, the poisonous gas that originally surrounded Xinya was sucked into Jingfu's mouth.

Xinya said stubbornly:

"Tsk, it's just a little trick. Give me a little more time and I can get out of here."

Jingfu no longer looked at Xinya, and slowly crawled back into the swamp. It looked back at Yinyue.

The two men just looked at each other, then continued to walk deeper into the swamp.

"Brother, have you subdued him?"

Tamao said excitedly.

"Yeah." Yinyue looked at Xinya.

The latter quickly crawled towards the shore, carrying the four people on his head.

Compared to Jingfu, the hot-tempered Xinya is more difficult to get along with. However, to Yinyue, they are all the same and there is no difference.

"Captain, aren't you going to take this salamander back?" Quan asked curiously.

Yinyue shook her head and said:

"It has its own life. When it is needed, we can channel it out. Besides, we don't have the living environment it needs around us."

Tamao lamented, "I still want to experience what it's like to ride it."

Xinya sighed:

"I guess you won't want to ride it again after experiencing it once. Its body is covered with poison glands, and the toxin is extremely strong. Even a slug would have a headache facing this kind of poison."

"Why can Hanzo ride it?" asked Tamao.

"That's Hanzo's strength," Xinya replied, "Legend has it that he is immune to poison."

Yinyue denied:

"It's not immunity to toxins, but immunity to a certain amount of toxins released by Jingfu. Okay, go back and prepare for the affairs of the Edo-Tsuchi."

With a demigod in charge of the fortress, the combat effectiveness would naturally be increased, although the strength of this demigod might be a little inflated.

Quan suddenly asked: "Captain, there is one last area, aren't we going there?"

Tamao and Nanfeng wanted to go there and take a look, after all, Quan had ranked it as the first place to go.

Yinyue thought about it and shook her head:

"No, we're not going. We've already found Hanzo's body and the salamander. There are no more ninja resources left in the Hidden Rain Village."

"Ok."

Quan really wanted to go and see it.

But since the captain said he didn't want to go, she naturally wouldn't insist on her own opinion.

...

...

There were no accidents on the return journey. Yinyue and the other three quickly returned to the Hidden Rain Village, and then returned to the fortress to prepare for the matters concerning Edo Hanzo.

On the way, Yinyue did not take Xinya, but quietly returned with Quan and others.

"Captain, the sacrifice used by the Impure World this time... is it really free of any psychological burden?"

Quan followed behind Yinyue.

The four arrived in front of the warehouse.

Yinyue asked Tamao and Nanfeng to open the warehouse, only to see densely packed White Zetsu piled up inside. When Quan saw this scene, he trembled all over.

Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder the captain asked her to put aside her discomfort with challenging ethics and morals.

It turns out that this monster was used as a sacrifice.

The sacrifices, the bones, and the caster are all ready.

Yinyue glanced around and said, "Let's just dirty the land here."

"Here...Okay!" Quan took a deep breath, obviously a little nervous.

Nanfeng and Tamao considerately captured the immobilized White Zetsu for Izumi, and in order to prevent the shortage of sacrifices, they caught a lot more.

Then, with Yinyue's approval, Quan, with a serious face, began to work on Edo Hanzo.

at the same time.

Fortress walls.

Konan sat by the wall with her legs dangling in the air, staring quietly at the thin clouds below and the Hidden Rain Village obscured by the clouds.

Ever since she was captured by Yin Yue and brought to the fortress, she has been sitting here, waiting for Nagato to come back.

Today is no exception.

Calculate from time.

Nagato, who returned from Konoha, will arrive at the Hidden Rain Village at the latest this evening.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps behind him made Xiaonan withdraw his thoughts.

That was... the footsteps of Hydrangea.

"My Lord, it's time for lunch."

Hydrangea came up behind Xiaonan, carrying a food box and looking happy, and reminded him.

Xiaonan's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly: "You are not Hydrangea."

"Huh?"

Hydrangea's voice changed from female to male, and she jokingly said, "Even my transformation technique can't deceive your perception?"

As he spoke, Hydrangea's body changed, transforming little by little into Jue, wearing a fire cloud robe and with a twisted and tall body.

The next moment, space distortion appeared beside Konan, and Obito appeared wearing an orange mask.

"You dare to come here, aren't you afraid of Yinyue?" Xiaonan asked in surprise.

"Hasn't he gone out already?"

Obito said coldly.

Xiaonan frowned.

"Let's do it, we don't have much time left." After saying that, he began to invade the fortress and placed White Zetsu in this aerial fortress that was isolated from the ground.

"I'm sorry, Konan."

Obito finished speaking in a cold voice, and under the mask, his single eye flashed red and opened the Mangekyo.

When Xiaonan turned sideways, a spatial distortion suddenly occurred.

Divine Power——

This time they headed for the fortress.

The purpose is to kill Xiaonan!
