"Summoning Technique, simply put, is when an individual signs a contract with a Summoning Beast."
"And the prerequisite for this is to first make a blood contract."
As Shinji said this, he took out the huge summoning scroll from behind him, placed it in front of him, and unrolled it.
"The way to sign is to press your bloody handprint on the scroll, and then write down your names."
"The contractual relationship will then be established."
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged glances, this seemed quite simple.
Shinji stared at Naruto and Sasuke in front of him, shattering their illusions. "What I said was just about signing the contract. As for whether you can summon the summoning beast, that depends on each of you."
"You should know that even I, your teacher, needed to reach Jonin level before I could sign such a contract."
"Eh!"
Naruto's face was full of disbelief.
The requirements are that high?
Even Sasuke just looked at the scroll spread on the ground, feeling for the first time that this requirement was a bit outrageous.
"Alright, Mimi is only one individual, so after that, you won't need to meet such a requirement." Shinji waved his hand.
The system's requirement was that he needed to reach Jonin level before he could unlock the summoning scroll.
It was just that at the time, he had given that reason, and now correcting it again using Mimi as the reason was no big deal.
"That's not right, sensei."
Naruto scratched the top of his head and counted on his fingers, saying, "Sasuke and I, plus you, sensei, make three people, but Mimi-sensei is only one."
"So if we all summon at the same time, whose call will he answer?"
"If it were before, you'd be right." Shinji said.
In order to allow Naruto and Sasuke to sign the contract, he and Mimi had already been preparing for this moment for a long time.
Specifically, Shinji found a Ninjutsu related to splitting, and then modified it so that Mimi could split using his powerful spiritual power.
This splitting would not damage Mimi 's spiritual power core. It would merely split his body into multiple independent physical entities. Each entity would share the same consciousness, yet be able to act and think independently.
It was like a different kind of Shadow Clone, except this clone wouldn't be dispelled.
It was unclear whether the Shadow Clone Technique had gone astray first, or if this splitting Ninjutsu had cheated.
However, Shinji felt that some clever person must have adapted it after referencing the Shadow Clone Technique. After all, Shinji had found this Ninjutsu in the storage room for forbidden items in the Hokage Building.
At that time, Hiruzen had specifically warned him not to be fooled by the annotations.
Some people actually believed it, and the result was that now, the grass on their graves was almost as tall as they were.
However, due to Mimi's spiritual power limitations, he could only split into two additional entities for now. Moreover, their spiritual power would only be one-fifth of the original Mimi's.
However...
Thinking about how Four-Tails seemed to have been secretly drained by Mimi earlier, Shinji felt that it wouldn't be just one-fifth anymore.
As for Four-Tails, he was somewhat half-dead at the moment. Recently, the guards said that Roshi was constantly questioning what Konoha had done, which caused Four-Tails to fall into a deep sleep.
As Shinji explained, Sasuke and Naruto's eyes lit up.
This Ninjutsu was simply too cool.
"Sensei, can we learn this Ninjutsu?" Sasuke thought for a moment, then asked.
"No." Shinji shook his head when he heard this.
"This splitting Ninjutsu, to be honest, is just so-so. Not only will your strength be evenly distributed, but if you use it for too long, even your thoughts will become chaotic."
"Not only that, but even your Chakra system could potentially collapse because of it."
At this point, Shinji looked at Naruto and Sasuke with a serious expression.
"Mimi can split in this way entirely because of his spiritual power system."
"No matter how the spiritual power is separated, as long as it belongs to Mimi, he can retrieve it."
"But Chakra cannot. I won't go into more details about that."
"Alright, first write your names on the scroll and press your bloody handprints."
Naruto and Sasuke no longer hesitated, approaching the scroll, pulling out their kunai, and cutting their palms.
After seeing Naruto and Sasuke press their bloody handprints, Shinji put away the scroll and looked at the two, beginning to teach them the hand signs for the Summoning Technique.
"The hand signs for the Summoning Technique are very simple: Boar - Dog - Bird - Monkey - Ram."
"But the key to performing it, besides consuming Chakra, also requires you to use your own blood as a medium."
"Usually, you bite your thumb, smear the blood on your palm, then form the hand signs and press your hand to the ground."
After Shinji finished speaking, he immediately demonstrated it for the two.
Summoning Technique!
Boom—!
A burst of smoke erupted, and Mimi appeared in his cat form right where Shinji was.
"Yo! Shinji."
After stealing Four-Tails' Chakra, Mimi had been staying in his ancestral land. It had been a long time since Shinji had summoned him.
"How are the preparations coming along?" Shinji picked Mimi up by the scruff of his neck, held him in his hand, and asked.
"No problem, they're all waiting in the Ancestral land."
Seeing Naruto and Sasuke in front of him, Mimi naturally knew what was going on. He had already known about it in his Ancestral land when the contract was signed.
"Good, then you stay here and watch them." Shinji nodded.
The Summoning Technique was not difficult, so having Mimi guard them here was fine.
"No problem."
Mimi leaped up and landed on a large rock nearby.
He spoke quite impolitely, "Alright, you two brats, begin."
Naruto and Sasuke had long been accustomed to Mimi's sharp tongue and immediately began their practice.
Having given his instructions, Shinji went alone to the side of the waterfall and took out Amenohakari from the system's space.
He examined the three raven feathers on the sword hilt guard, then infused his Chakra into the sword body.
The three raven feathers on the hilt instantly materialized into energy, forming three giant dark golden energy wings that spread out and encircled his arm.
Shinji formed a single-handed sign, and the arm holding the Amenohakari was instantly covered in Lightning Chakra, which then flowed into the sword body.
"A normal Lightning Release, when enhanced by the sword, actually has power comparable to Chidori?"
The Amenohakari in Shinji's hand spun with a flourish, then he swung it towards the towering giant tree in front of him.
The lightning shot out with the blade, disappearing into the uninhabited dense forest ahead.
Rumble—!
With the sound of an explosion, countless giant trees were split open at their massive trunks, collapsing uniformly.
A large amount of dust continuously rose, and the trees outside the blast radius were also knocked down by the aftershock.
The wind caused by the explosion swept over, and the three giant wings blocked the force of the aftershock.
Shinji picked up the Amenohakari in his hand and examined it carefully.
Not only could it defend, but Lightning Release could also be enhanced by it, cutting out from the blade.
To describe it differently, it was like being able to throw a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken after activating Sage Mode. However, it was limited to Lightning Release.
Moreover, it also had a certain protective ability for its wielder, but the strength of its defense was directly related to Shinji's own Chakra. Once his Chakra was depleted, this sword could at most block some less powerful Ninjutsu.
It wasn't exceptionally good, and while it couldn't compare to divine artifacts, it was enough to attract the covetous gaze of many.
After all, a ninja tool that combined both defense and the ability to unleash Lightning Release slashes might be the only one of its kind in the entire Ninja World.
However, Shinji shook his head, feeling that this sword was more suited for Sasuke.
