[Summoning Beast · Big Big Wolf Pup]
Rank: C+

Nature Affinity (Passive): The Big Big Wolf's body has mutated and possesses an extremely high affinity for the natural energy of the ninja world. Upon reaching adulthood, it can freely utilize natural energy. By continuously absorbing natural energy, its lifespan will be unparalleled in the ninja world.
Draw a Circle and Curse You: The Big Big Wolf draws a circle on the ground. By placing an item from the target (hair, fingernails) inside the circle, it can cast a curse regardless of distance.

I'll Be Back!: The Big Big Wolf shouts this catchphrase, and its movement speed increases by 1000%.

System Evaluation: Aren't you surprised? Isn't it unexpected?
Shangguan Mo suddenly regretted it. Without a doubt, the thing licking him was the Big Big Wolf. If he had known it would synthesize into something so useless, he might have just let the wolf go.
Just then, he heard the creaking sound of stairs being rapidly descended. A surprised voice came from nearby. "Big Brother Mo, are you awake? Little Gray suddenly became disobedient and ran over to you. It gave me a scare."
Shangguan Mo's eyelids fluttered open. In his blurry vision, he saw a delicate, pretty face. It was Li!
He then heard her say, "Big Brother Mo, how did you get so weak? When Little Wind first brought you back, you were lying there completely still, and it kept chirping at me. I was so scared! Don't move, I'll go get you some goat's milk. It's nutritious, and Little Gray loves to drink it too..."
Shangguan Mo: "..."
One month later.
Yugakure, Ninja Academy Training Grounds.
Two figures were sparring at high speed. It was Shangguan Mo and his instructor, Inoshita Rino. It had been three days since his body had fully recovered. The experience had left him with lingering fear; he had been bedridden for half a month just for synthesizing one summoning beast. This kind of weakness wasn't an injury and couldn't be healed quickly with medical ninjutsu. The key was that the C+ rank summon he had created, Big Big Wolf, was just a pup with practically no combat ability... This pained him greatly. The ninja world is not worth it!
After lying in bed for so long, he felt like he was getting rusty, so he had asked his instructor for a spar as a form of rehabilitation training.
A sweeping kick whistled towards his face. He quickly bent backward, his body forming an arch that showed off his impressive flexibility. He then lifted his left foot and kicked at the ligament in his instructor's knee, making his leg go numb and forcing him to retreat. Shangguan Mo pushed off the ground with his hands and sprang back into a ready stance.
Feeling the numbness in his right leg, Inoshita Rino smiled wryly. "You brat, you have no respect for your elders. You kick so hard!"
"Hehe, Uncle Rino, if I'm not serious, I'll be the one crying in a minute," Shangguan Mo chuckled, not falling for his act.
"Good kid!" his instructor laughed and continued his attack with a kunai.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew as the two engaged in a fierce taijutsu exchange. Inoshita Rino was an extremely experienced ninja. It was only due to his age and old injuries that his strength was slightly less than that of an average Chunin. So in this pure taijutsu clash, Shangguan Mo was constantly on the defensive, only occasionally finding an opportunity to counterattack.
As they fought, the chakra in his body began to flow faster, enhancing the power of his strikes and his reaction speed, quickly helping his sluggish body return to normal. The entire training ground was filled with the sound of their blows, dazzling the surrounding students, who watched with excitement.
A few minutes later, their instructor was slightly out of breath. While taijutsu didn't consume much chakra, it was a great test of a ninja's stamina.
Clang! Their kunai clashed again, and he used the momentum to retreat. "Sigh, I'm getting old, old! I don't have the energy of you young people anymore."
Seeing his instructor's downcast expression, Shangguan Mo felt a little bad and quickly comforted him. "It's okay, Uncle Rino. For an old man, you're in great shape."
His instructor's lip twitched, and he glared at him. He didn't say anything more, just tilted his head towards an empty corner, signaling for Shangguan Mo to follow him.
"What is it?" Shangguan Mo asked, puzzled by his mysterious behavior.
"You've graduated."
"What?" He raised an eyebrow, feeling like he hadn't heard correctly.
"I said, you've graduated, you brat!" his instructor said faintly.
Shangguan Mo's lip twitched, a sense of absurdity washing over him. "How did I graduate? I haven't even taken the graduation exam yet!"
Taking a deep breath, Inoshita Rino's expression turned serious. "This was the village leader's decision. The ninja world has become unstable again. There have been skirmishes on the borders of several great nations, and the scent of war is in the air. On top of that, ever since the leader was seriously injured, his health has been deteriorating..."
He fell silent. "You should understand what I mean. The leader's decision has a deep meaning. He has high hopes for you, my boy..."
How could he not understand? Jigyoku was graduating him early because he wanted the village's genius to grow up quickly and become its pillar of support. There was likely also the intention of grooming the next candidate for village leader. But it had all happened so suddenly that he felt a bit lost.
"Is the leader's condition very bad?" he asked, his brow furrowed.
His instructor nodded silently. "I heard from Watanabe Mousse that he has basically no combat ability left, and his physical condition is getting worse by the day. And the ninja world is becoming more and more unstable. It seems those people are going to reignite the old grudges..."
Shangguan Mo's expression changed. "Are you talking about the Third Great Ninja War?"
