"Summoning Jutsu!"
In a quiet place far from the Konoha camp, Ryun bit his finger and used blood as a seal to attempt summoning a giant snake from Ryuchi Cave.
His first attempt only summoned a small colorful snake...
"..."
Looking at the little snake wriggling on the ground, Ryun kicked it far away.
This little thing was clearly poisonous. Getting bitten accidentally would be disastrous, since ninjas generally had high offense but low defense...
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Ryun began persistent practice, and the creatures he summoned kept changing and growing larger.
Half a day passed. After understanding the tricks of the summoning jutsu, Ryun decisively increased his chakra output limit, planning to summon a big one.
"Summoning Jutsu!!!"
With the spread of the summoning seal and massive chakra consumption, a thick smoke appeared, and an extremely huge black giant snake was directly summoned.
This big black snake had two horns on its head. In terms of appearance, it looked more like a dragon than the four-horned Manda!
And its terrifying size was visually over 100 meters long!
"Huh???"
The suddenly summoned black snake was very confused. It still had food in its mouth. Looking at the red tail end of the food, it was clearly another red giant snake!
"Damn..."
Seeing this, Ryun was completely dumbfounded.
The huge black snake he summoned with full power seemed to be busy eating its own kind!
"Are you also a giant snake from Ryuchi Cave?" Ryun couldn't help asking a pointless question.
There were actually snakes in Ryuchi Cave that ate their own kind. How did the White Snake Sage allow this black snake's existence???
The black snake coldly stared at him without speaking. It continued swallowing on its own, the red poisonous snake in its mouth slowly being stuffed into its body.
Ryun didn't disturb its meal. He was very satisfied with this 'snake traitor'. A big snake that could eat other big snakes shouldn't be too weak.
Looking at this brainlessly grinning tiny human, the black snake felt speechless and inexplicably annoyed.
A few minutes later, the black snake completely swallowed the red snake. Now it finally regained its ability to speak.
"Was it you, this ant, who summoned me? You really don't know how to stay alive..."
The black giant snake spoke sinisterly.
"Ant...ant???"
"Haha... looks like another beast that doesn't want to cooperate..." Ryun couldn't help laughing.
Actually, over half of the giant snakes in Ryuchi Cave disliked humans, which was related to their nature.
Humans were just one of the foods on their menu. Being summoned by 'food', most normal Ryuchi Cave snakes would have more or less resistance.
Moreover, giant snakes were generally very irritable. This snake-eating giant snake was one of the worst among them. In Ryuchi Cave, it might be even less welcome than that one-eyed giant snake called Shōki...
After all, Shōki was just hard to approach but didn't eat its own kind... while this one really dared to eat them...
"Bea...beast???"
The black snake thought it misheard.
"Just a cold-blooded beast, yet dares to call itself 'lord'?" Ryun smirked again.
Just a giant snake dared to call him an ant. Did it really think his chakra blade wasn't sharp enough?
There were countless giant snakes in Ryuchi Cave. Killing this one, he could still summon countless others. No need to learn from Orochimaru-sensei and be a 'snake licker'...
"You really... are seeking death!!!"
The next moment, the black giant snake pounced fiercely. Even though it had just swallowed a giant snake and its body was extremely bloated, its sudden burst of speed was still shockingly fast!
Ryun instantly dodged with the Body Flicker Technique. The many trees behind him were smashed to pieces by the black snake's terrifying impact.
After dodging the black snake's attack, Ryun immediately formed hand seals and activated a ninjutsu:
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A huge fireball directly crashed toward the black snake's head.
The black snake looked at the incoming great fireball with disdain. The next moment, it raised its huge tail and fiercely slapped the fireball into two halves.
With a snake roar, the weakened remaining flames were blown out in one breath.
"!!!"
Ryun looked at this scene in surprise. Before he could attack again, the black giant tail slapped toward him. Ryun instantly used the Body Flicker Technique again.
The ground where he had stood was instantly cracked by the tremendous force. The area Ryun was in had obvious tremors.
The power of this strike was beyond his imagination. It could truly shake mountains and move the earth!
With Ryun's physical constitution, taking this strike head-on would likely leave him severely injured if not dead.
The black snake's strength made him not dare to underestimate it. He was ready to kill this disobedient beast on the spot as a warning to others.
"Lightning Release: Falling Thunder Technique!"
After dodging the black snake's pounce again, Ryun immediately used a lightning release ninjutsu.
With increased chakra output, a huge thunderbolt fiercely struck the bloated snake body.
The massive lightning instantly made it scream in pain.
"Lightning Release: Earth Flow!"
After succeeding with one strike, Ryun actively jumped onto its body and added another.
A large amount of lightning power poured into the giant snake's body. The entire snake body had visible electric currents flowing through it.
It was electrocuted in extreme pain. The next moment, it used all its strength to throw the human off its body, then opened its mouth wide trying to regurgitate the red giant snake.
This was a normal reaction for snakes in crisis. It had just eaten its fill. Facing this agile human, it clearly couldn't handle it...
Its body was especially bloated, making it hard to dodge lightning.
Seeing its reaction, Ryun immediately understood its plan. Without hesitation, he quickly formed hand seals, and a large amount of lightning chakra surged toward his throat.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
Ryun spat out a powerful lightning bolt. This thunderbolt shot toward the black snake's neck at lightning speed. He wanted to cut off its head with this.
Seeing the dense lightning approaching, the black snake's pupils shrank sharply. It clearly sensed the crisis of death!
Ryun's timing was perfect, right when it was regurgitating food. At this moment, it had no way to use the Snake Skin Replacement Technique to avoid damage.
At the critical moment, the black giant snake couldn't care about spitting out food. It dodged with the fastest speed.
"Hiss..."
The False Darkness lightning directly tore off a large chunk of flesh from its neck, but it barely managed to dodge this fatal strike!
A large amount of blood gushed from the wound. The black snake writhed in madness from the pain. The red giant snake in its mouth was also spat out amid the violent twisting.
When it finished regurgitating, half its body stood tall, its trembling body and tail indicating its fury.
"Ant human, you truly deserve death!!!"
The black giant snake looked down at Ryun from above. This time, it was truly enraged!
Looking up at the terrifying big black snake whose upper body alone was dozens of meters tall, Ryun showed no fear in his eyes. Instead, they turned blood red.
"You... are angry?"
