Chapter 390 - 75

Chapter 75: The First Summoning BeastSeeing that Naruto didn't seem to be lying, Xiaobao landed on his hand with half-belief, but who knew that Naruto would suddenly exert force and grab it.Xiaobao struggled desperately to break free, but it had no effect. Naruto's expression was somewhat terrifying at this moment. He brought his face close to Xiaobao and said, "You are a sprite condensed from Sage Chakra. If I were to eat you, it would definitely be very nourishing!"This scared Xiaobao quite a bit. Its pupils dilated, directly manifesting into the Byakugan, and then its head tilted to the side, it stuck out its little tongue, and fainted.Naruto brought it close to look at it and discovered that it had actually been scared unconscious by just one sentence, which made him feel amused.He said to Sage Katsuyu, "This little thing is too timid! I was just teasing it, and it actually fainted just like that."Sage Katsuyu said, "Ever since it gained sentience, it has been cultivating in this pool. It has never seen outsiders, nor has it seen the outside world. Even Tsunade has never seen it.""It can be said that it is now completely a child with a very simple mind. Your actions just now will leave a shadow on its young heart!""But don't underestimate it either. Xiaobao's strength is very strong! It is a natural master of Sage Chakra. Its attainments in Sage arts are no worse than yours right now.""Most importantly, it was conceived from pure Sage Chakra and has the potential to become the next true Sage. I even believe that its future achievements will surpass mine."Sage Katsuyu's words truly shocked Naruto. Does this little thing actually have such strength? And such high potential? Naruto felt tempted.However, with such a timid nature, no matter how strong its power is, it seems useless. Before a fight even starts, the enemy would only need to say a couple of harsh words to scare it unconscious.But Naruto didn't dwell on these thoughts. They had been out for quite a while, and it was time to go back, so he began to transfer the Sage Chakrain his body into Xiaobao's body.Xiaobao didn't know if it was in a coma or just sleeping. When it woke up, it only felt that its body was warm and very comfortable, and the previous feeling of weakness had disappeared.It opened its eyes groggily and kept rubbing them with its little hands. Only then did it realize that it was lying in Sage Katsuyu's arms.It burst into tears immediately, then babbled, "Sage, is this the underworld? Could it be that you were also eaten by that bad guy? Wuwuwu, we are so pitiful!"Sage Katsuyu used its little tentacle to stroke its head and said with a smile, "Silly child, look around carefully. Aren't we still perfectly fine in Shikkotsu Forest?""Naruto is a good kid, just like you. He was just playing around with you! Look, he has already given you all the Sage Chakra inside his body."After hearing this, Xiaobao puffed out its cheeks and said angrily, "Hmph! Sage, why are you siding with that villain? He couldn't be worse; he actually dared to scare me! Don't think that just by doing this he can get my forgiveness. Next time I see him, I will definitely make him pay!""Oh? Is that so? Then I am relieved. I believe your wish will be fulfilled very soon. Just now, while you were unconscious, Naruto told me he wanted to sign a contract with you to be his Summoning Beast.""At that time, you were still in a coma, and I thought Naruto was a decent person, so I agreed on your behalf. I was originally worried that you would be unhappy after waking up, but now it's fine. Since you want to take revenge on him, you can get your wish when he summons you out." Sage Katsuyu said this deliberately.Upon hearing this, Xiaobao opened its mouth wide and stammered, "Ho, how is that possible? I have become that bastard's Summoning Beast?""Ah! Sage, why did you do that? How could you agree so easily? It's over, it's over. What am I going to do from now on!""Sage, please quickly undo our contract. If it's you, you must have a way, right?"Sage Katsuyu smiled, touched its head to try to soothe it, and said, "Xiaobao, the dissolution of a Summoning contract requires the consent of both parties! As an outsider, I cannot do that.""If I were to forcibly intervene to break the contract, even I would risk death. Do you want to see that happen to me?"Xiaobao shook its head dejectedly after hearing this, then whispered, "Of course I don't want the Sage to get hurt, but I really don't want to become that guy's Summoning Beast. What should I do! That hateful bastard definitely won't agree to break the contract with me."Sage Katsuyu patiently explained, "Alright, Xiaobao, you should also go out and see the outside world. The Ninja World is about to fall into chaos, and staying with me all the time won't do. This world needs your power.""Furthermore, you must assist Naruto well; he is the savior of this world!"Xiaobao was shocked once again. It said, "Savior? That yellow-haired brat is the savior? Is there any justice left in the world?""Sage, if he is...? What's happening? Why do I feel a suction force? Sage, save me! My body is out of control; it feels like I'm being pulled to another place... Ah!"...At this moment in Konoha Village, Naruto was telling his friends about the gains from this trip. He boasted, "You have no idea! The gains Sasuke and I made this trip are not small. It can be said that we have made great progress in terms of strength.""Especially me; besides learning Sage arts, I also mastered the Summoning Technique and got the first Summoning Beast of my life."Hearing this, the people around hurriedly asked in a jumble of voices, "Oh? Really? I heard that although the Summoning Technique is only a C-rank Ninjutsu, Summoning Beasts are extremely rare.""That's right! And it's said that powerful Summoning Beasts are very hard to find, but once a contract is signed, it will bring great help to the user.""However, the more powerful the Summoning Beast, the more Chakra it consumes!""Naruto, how strong is your Summoning Beast? What kind of animal is it? Hurry up and summon it for us to see."Facing the crowd's questioning, Naruto first waved his hand to control the situation, then said, "Alright, alright, let me clarify first. My Summoning Beast is not an animal; it should be considered a little sprite!""Furthermore, according to Sage Katsuyu, its strength is very high, but I found that it is too timid. At that time, it was actually scared unconscious by me directly.""But I still signed a contract with it because it is just too cute. By the way, its name is Xiaobao. I believe that when you see it, you will definitely like it.""But precisely because it is quite special, it cannot be summoned using ordinary Chakra; it must be summoned using Sage Chakra.""However, when I came back, I used up almost all the Sage Chakra in my body to heal it, so I can only summon Xiaobao for a short while."
