Yoruha leaned against the tree, watching Sasuke in the distance, and smiled. "Sasuke's not bad, summoning such a high-level snake on his first try."
Jiraiya patted Yoruha on the shoulder. "What did you do to make those cold-blooded creatures from Ryuchi Cave submit to Sasuke?" Jiraiya knew very well that the snakes of Ryuchi Cave were notoriously temperamental and proud.
If Yoruha hadn't offered them significant benefits, they wouldn't have acknowledged Sasuke.
Remember, when Naruto first summoned Gamabunta, the toad didn't recognize him either. It was only Naruto's persistence that eventually won Gamabunta over.
But when Sasuke summoned, the blue snake was so polite—Jiraiya had never seen such a courteous snake before.
Even more polite than the toads of Mount Myoboku. Yoruha replied, "What benefits could I possibly offer them? I just told them that Sasuke has great potential for the future, and they acknowledged it. After all, the Uchiha clan's value is immense."
Jiraiya, however, was skeptical. "You're just making things up. While the Uchiha clan is valuable, the Three Great Sage Regions wouldn't care about that."
"Especially not the notoriously difficult Ryuchi Cave," Jiraiya chuckled. "But if you don't want to say, I won't press.
By the way, didn't you also sign a contract with Ryuchi Cave? Summon a big snake and show us. You should be able to summon Manda, right?"
"Summoning Manda would be interesting, especially since it once wanted to eat you," Jiraiya teased. Yoruha rolled his eyes. "I'm not that bored."
Tsunade walked over and asked, "Besides the Three-Tails, I assume you'll mostly rely on summoning the snakes from Ryuchi Cave in future battles."
"After all, the Three-Tails is a Tailed Beast; summoning it is too powerful." Kakashi, listening to Tsunade, was stunned. He looked at Yoruha. "Yoruha, is your summoning beast really the Three-Tails!?"
Yoruha remained silent, but Jiraiya answered for him. "This kid really uses the Three-Tails as his summoning beast. I don't know how he managed it, but thanks to him, Konoha now has two Tailed Beasts." "And the Three-Tails listens to him very well."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot that the Nine-Tails also has a good relationship with this kid." Now that he thought about it, Jiraiya found it unbelievable.
Both of Konoha's Tailed Beasts had deep ties with Yoruha. In fact, thanks to Yoruha, these two Tailed Beasts were now very controllable.
If Yoruha were the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, he'd probably be a perfect Jinchuriki by now. Jiraiya knew that the Nine-Tails genuinely recognized Yoruha. Even when Yoruha wasn't around, it would voluntarily help protect the village.
Of course, what Jiraiya didn't know was that the Nine-Tails also understood that if it ran away, Yoruha would definitely bring it back. Running away would be pointless. Moreover, it believed that Yoruha would truly set it free in the future.
It trusted Yoruha's promise. Kakashi was completely shocked by the relationship between the Three-Tails and Yoruha. "No wonder you don't care about the summoning beasts of Ryuchi Cave. So, your summoning beast is the Three-Tails."
"Doesn't this mean that Konoha now has two tailed beasts, and one of them is Yoruha's summoning beast, which is completely controllable?" Kakashi looked at Yoruha, astonished by his rapid growth. In less than a year, Yoruha had developed to such an extent.
It's terrifying. Tsunade looked at Yoruha and said, "Why don't you try summoning Manda?" Jiraiya chimed in, "I'll summon Gamabunta too. The three summons gathering today will definitely be interesting."
Tsunade's lips curled into a slight smile. "It's not a common sight; last time, we didn't succeed." Kakashi looked at Jiraiya and Tsunade, feeling rather speechless.
"Only you two would come up with such an idea." Kakashi then turned to Yoruha, smiling, "But only this kid could make it happen." Yoruha felt at a loss. Is this a class reunion?
Yoruha remembered in the original story, when the three legendary Sannin gathered, they summoned their respective beasts. But in this world, Jiraiya hadn't summoned Gamabunta yet. Jiraiya bit his finger and smiled, "Yoruha, come on, let's start."
Tsunade also bit her finger and began forming seals. Yoruha's mouth twitched, "At your age, how can you still be so childish?" Despite saying this, Yoruha had no choice.
He could only play along with the two of them. Yoruha didn't form any seals or bite his finger. He simply slapped his hand on the ground.
"Boom!" A massive cloud of white smoke appeared. Even though he was the last to perform the technique, Yoruha was the first to succeed. There were very few jutsu left that required Yoruha to form seals.
Or rather, for most conventional jutsu, Yoruha didn't need to form seals at all. Only forbidden techniques, like his space sealing jutsu, required seals. Tsunade and Jiraiya, seeing Yoruha's immediate success, felt a bit competitive.
Their technique speed was much faster than usual. "Boom!" "Boom!" Two more explosive sounds, and two massive clouds of white smoke appeared. The three clouds of smoke dispersed.
Revealing three gigantic summoning beasts. On Manda's head stood Yoruha and Kakashi. On Katsuyu's head stood Tsunade.
Katsuyu is the name of the slug from the Shikkotsu Forest. And on Gamabunta's head stood Jiraiya. As the smoke cleared.
The three gigantic summoning beasts were revealed. Even Kakashi found this scene hard to come by. Let alone Kakashi, even the three summoning beasts hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Manda, upon being summoned, was a bit dazed. But feeling Yoruha and Kakashi on its head, it swallowed the curses it was about to spew. "Yoruha, kid, why did you call me out?"
Yoruha waved his hand, "I wanted to see if I could summon you." Manda replied, "How boring. If you can summon the Three-Tails, how could you not summon me?"
Yoruha was helpless; he couldn't exactly say he was coaxed by Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Meanwhile, the summoned Gamabunta was also displeased, asking, "Manda, Katsuyu, you two are here too. Jiraiya, what do you want, a class reunion?" Although they were once comrades, Gamabunta and Manda never got along well.
Manda glared coldly at Gamabunta. Naturally, it disliked Gamabunta. If it weren't for Yoruha's presence, it would have attacked Gamabunta by now.
Jiraiya laughed, "It's not a class reunion, just wanted to summon you all. It's been a long time since you three met, right?" Gamabunta kept his hand on the giant dagger at his waist, ready to defend against any of Manda's attacks.
Manda watched everything coldly. Katsuyu's gentle voice came through, "Lady Tsunade, is there something you need from me?"
