#91 - Kiyoshi's Promise
The future Yakushi Nono would die at the hands of Konoha, the village she dedicated her life to.
It would be such a pity for her to die like that.
Kiyoshi glanced at Yakushi Nono and suddenly said:
"Nono-sensei, if you ever need my help in the future, just tell me."
Kiyoshi was referring to the future Nono.
She would face a crisis where the orphanage would fall into financial deficit, and all the children might starve to death.
Danzo Shimura would use this to threaten Yakushi Nono, forcing her to return to work.
Kiyoshi thought that when that time came, he should be able to come up with the money.
"Haha, I hope that day will come, little Kiyoshi."
Yakushi Nono smiled gently, letting Kiyoshi choose a ninja beast.
Kiyoshi nodded and carefully looked at each one through the glass.
There were toads, birds, snakes, and...
Many creatures, making Kiyoshi's eyes dizzy.
Summoning beasts used for contracts are usually divided into three types.
Combat type, support type, and sensory type.
"Nono-sensei, I want a support-type summoning beast."
Kiyoshi said.
Kiyoshi was not in urgent need of a combat-type summoning ninja beast.
On the contrary, in the upcoming Ninja World War, such summoning beasts are not suitable for the battlefield and are easily surrounded.
The same goes for sensory-type summoning ninja beasts.
Kiyoshi possesses "Yang Release". Anyone who has read about sensory ninjas will find that they have a common characteristic, which is that they possess "Yang Release".
Everyone actually has chakra of all attributes, but there are differences in talent.
Some ninjas spend ten years or even more to cultivate chakra natures that were not detected, making them like innate abilities.
Then "Yang Release" is the qualification or an aid to becoming a sensory ninja.
Kiyoshi has this qualification, and he can improve through his own learning.
So choosing a support-type summoning beast is best for Kiyoshi right now.
If not, Kiyoshi can get more summoning beasts in the future.
As long as you have the ability, you can contract as many summoning beasts as you want, there is no limit.
"These few should meet little Kiyoshi's requirements."
Yakushi Nono pointed to several summoning beasts in the glass containers and introduced their effects to Kiyoshi.
"This summoning beast can enhance the owner's sense of smell, this one..."
After Yakushi Nono finished introducing them, Kiyoshi compared them and finally chose a snake.
"I choose this white snake."
Kiyoshi walked to a glass container.
A white snake with pale scales was coiled inside, and her body was completely filled with light green solution.
Kiyoshi knew that those were nutrient solutions to maintain the life of the organisms inside.
Seemingly sensing Kiyoshi's presence, the white snake opened her black snake eyes and stared at Kiyoshi.
"This one, not bad."
Yakushi Nono nodded and took out a blank scroll for Kiyoshi.
The white snake that Kiyoshi chose has the effect of healing the owner, similar to the summoning beast Slug.
It is also good at concealment and can be used as a tool for detecting information.
"This is the contract scroll. Inside is a blank contract. If you want to use it, write your name on it with blood, and also dip your five fingers in blood."
Yakushi Nono told Kiyoshi how to use the C-rank ninjutsu "Summoning Technique".
After signing the contract, you only need to form the hand seals, then gather chakra on the hand that signed the contract, and point out the ideal location for the summoning to appear.
Kiyoshi nodded seriously.
A moment later, Yakushi Nono took out the white snake that Kiyoshi had chosen, signed a contract with her, and established a blood contract link with Kiyoshi.
"You have comprehended the term: [Apprentice Summoning Ninja (White)] ."
[Term: Apprentice Summoning Ninja (White)]
[Achievement Requirement: Sign a contract with 1 ninja beast to make it a summoning beast.]
[Progress: (Completed).]
[Effect: You can summon summoning beasts that have signed a contract with you at any time, reducing the chakra required for summoning by 5%.]
[Note: Can be further advanced in the future.]
Kiyoshi directly obtained a term related to summoning.
The Summoning Technique is not a technique that can be used casually. It requires a certain talent, and if you sign a contract with a wild summoning beast by yourself, you need to find a way to subdue the summoning beast.
Otherwise, you cannot sign a contract or summon it for use.
Another condition is that this technique consumes a lot of chakra.
The user's chakra capacity determines the upper limit of the summoning beast that can be summoned. The more chakra used, the more the summoning beast will be affected by the user's chakra during the process, thereby becoming stronger.
Of course, if the summoning beast's body is too weak, it will be useless even if there is chakra.
The term that reduces the chakra consumption of the Summoning Technique is okay for Kiyoshi, and it is a term with great potential.
"You will follow me from now on."
The white snake is only about the thickness of Kiyoshi's index finger and about fifty centimeters in length.
"This white snake is still in its juvenile form and should become stronger in the future."
Yakushi Nono said.
"I see."
Kiyoshi nodded and touched the white snake's head.
The white snake did not resist Kiyoshi's touch, nor did it actively bring its head closer, but slowly wrapped itself around Kiyoshi's arm.
Kiyoshi lowered his hand, and the white snake hid in his sleeve.
Kiyoshi was quite surprised by this gain. He got a summoning beast for free and also obtained a new term.
Sakura and Tsunade can only summon one-tenth of Katsuyu's body when they use the "Hundred Healings Technique" together.
If there is enough chakra, how big would the fully summoned body be?
I am afraid it would bring great changes to the battle, but unfortunately Tsunade and Sakura do not have such a chakra capacity.
"By the way, Nono-sensei, I have learned all five medical ninjutsu that you taught me before."
Kiyoshi said to Yakushi Nono, who was going out the door.
"Oh? Besides theoretical knowledge, haven't you fallen behind in ninjutsu either?"
Yakushi Nono rubbed Kiyoshi's head. At this stage, she is a little taller than Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi did not resist, letting the two shadows sway before his eyes.
"Let's go out and see."
Yakushi Nono took Kiyoshi back to Konoha Hospital.
Kiyoshi re-demonstrated the five medical ninjutsu to Yakushi Nono here.
They are all very simple techniques, four D-rank medical ninjutsu and one C-rank medical ninjutsu.
He also got the effect of the term yesterday.
"Then I will teach you the content of 'Poison'."
Yakushi Nono took out several scrolls and handed them to Kiyoshi.
Medical ninjas do not only learn medical ninjutsu. They learn detoxification, so they must also understand how to poison.
Poisoning is a necessary ability for every spy ninja, and Yakushi Nono knows a lot about this.
"Okay."
Kiyoshi felt the delicate touch of the cold scales sliding on his arm and nodded.
