To be able to continue to improve the strength of his existing summoned beasts was undoubtedly good news for Shangguan Mo. This meant that he could try to upgrade the level of his summoned beasts on the existing basis to strengthen his own combat effectiveness, without having to rack his brains to find high-synthesis-rate formulas and the materials and creatures needed for synthesis.
He picked up the end of the urea bag and tipped it upside down.
Clang, clang, clang...
A pile of old, tattered junk instantly appeared on the floor. "Yunnan Baiyao, walkie-talkie, batteries..."
Just by rummaging through it, Shangguan Mo could clearly identify the components of these things. "They're all functional materials. I was originally planning to use them to synthesize auxiliary-type summoned beasts like the exploding fly. The idea is not wrong. Healing, communication, battery life..."
"As long as I find a suitable creature for these materials, they should be able to have a great effect on the Yugakure ninja and improve the overall strength of the village. But for the improvement of my personal strength... it should be minimal..." he said to himself, his heart like a clear mirror.
"Since I can synthesize a second time, then I have to find some high-quality materials to greatly enhance the strength of these existing summoned beasts of mine. And it's best to be high-quality materials of blue quality or above..." he stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Compared to high-quality materials, he felt that high-level creatures were truly rare in the ninja world. "At present, there are only two kinds of materials that I can get my hands on that could possibly be of blue quality. One is chakra metal, and the other is chakra with extremely strong nature transformation... Both of these have the potential to reach blue quality."
He slapped his thigh and immediately stood up. "Alright! It seems I still have to go and find Watanabe Mousse..."
Then he walked out of the room and came to the courtyard, which had already become a zoo. The Wind Eagle was carrying the bipedal, hands-behind-its-back Earth Beetle, and was running madly around the raised courtyard wall with its body lowered. The Earth Dragon Beast had dug a hole, and it was actually filled with hot water. Little Grey and Little Yellow, these two mammals, were taking a bath. The exploding flies, in swarms, were carrying flower petals and sending them into the bath. The Iron Hedgehog was bent over, excitedly giving the wolf cub and the dog cub a bath. Only in a corner of the courtyard, in an anthill, was the Blazing Ant Queen still laying eggs without emotion.
"They're really having fun..." The corner of Shangguan Mo's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The moment he walked out, these summoned beasts all stopped their movements and turned to look at him motionlessly. A very human-like embarrassment appeared in their eyes. This made him not know what to do.
He said tentatively, "Everyone, continue? Keep jumping? Keep dancing?"
No summoned beast spoke. The courtyard was quiet, with only the bath constantly bubbling. Then, the eyes of these summoned beasts began to secretly turn, actually exchanging glances.
Wind Eagle: "Still jumping?"
Earth Beetle: "What's the point of jumping?! Didn't you see the boss's expression is a little ugly? Be careful he doesn't break your third leg later!"
Real Dog: "What do we do? The water will be cold in a while..."
Grey Wolf: "Why don't we call the old timer down for a bath together?"
Exploding Fly: "The boss is so annoying! Everyone, move a little! These flower petals are a bit heavy, and to maintain a stationary position, I have to keep flapping my wings. It's super tiring!"
Iron Hedgehog: "Does it have to be so awkward..."
Earth Dragon Beast: "Oh... ho..."
Shangguan Mo felt that the world was about to collapse. When the summoned beasts all started to play mind games with him, what need was there for this ninja world to exist?
"I'm tired. Let's just destroy it," he turned his head to look at the Wind Eagle and said faintly. "You take them all and go out to play. Don't make a mess in the courtyard all day! Fly a little higher, don't scare people. Remember to come back in an hour."
"Chirp... —Oh..." it answered in a wronged, low voice.
A thought simultaneously rose in the minds of all of his summoned beasts. "It was you who told us to stay in the courtyard and not run out. It was also you who told us not to play in the courtyard! In this world, it's hard for a summoned beast to be a beast..."
Little Yellow even turned his head to look at his departing back. "Come on, you be the dog!"
...
Hidden Hot Water Village, a normal two-story wooden house.
"Shangguan Mo, what are you doing here?" Watanabe Mousse turned his head to look at him and asked with some curiosity.
Shangguan Mo nodded at him, then looked at the other person in the room. It was a haggard old man.
"You fellow, you're finally willing to come and see this old man. If you hadn't come, I would have had Watanabe call you over in a while." Zhi Yujing said to him with a smile.
He nodded silently, then frowned and said in a deep voice, "You look so..." He wanted to say, "How come you look so much older than before?"
Zhi Yujing smiled kindly and beckoned to him. He obediently took two steps forward and walked over quickly. This was only the third time he had seen this leader of the Hidden Hot Water Village. "The first time I saw you was in the third year of the Ninja Academy. That one time when a practical exercise was suddenly held, you appeared once. At that time, I was guessing your identity. I was saying, who is it? Such a big show... The second time was in that battle in the underground space of Freyr City. At that time, you weren't this old..." he said in a low voice.
"Shangguan Mo! How can you talk to Lord Leader like that?!" Mousse reprimanded him with dissatisfaction from the side. It was one thing to be disrespectful to them usually, but the person in front of him was the old senior who had single-handedly established and developed the Hidden Hot Water Village. He had always been the most respectful, so he was a little displeased with his way of speaking.
"Watanabe, it's nothing. I like this little fellow very much." Zhi Yujing slowly shook his head at him, turned his head, and looked kindly at Shangguan Mo again. To this very familiar him, he felt very close to him.
Zhi Yujing's eyes narrowed, and his old face wrinkled deeply. He smiled slightly, like an old fox who was abducting a minor. "I'm old! Plus my health is not good, so I'm getting old even faster..."
With that, he stared at his eyes with a smile. "Then do you want to have such a big show like me in the future?"
Shangguan Mo was amused. This old man... how can he be so cheap? But this kind of personality that made him feel relaxed also made him have more good feelings for Zhi Yujing in his heart. "Your old body is still quite strong. I'm afraid it's not my turn yet..."
Zhi Yujing was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud. The old laughter, however, sounded very happy. "You little fellow, you really are..."
Shangguan Mo scratched his nose and smiled without speaking. After laughing for a while, Zhi Yujing finally stopped, but he was a little out of breath. Mousse's expression changed slightly. "Big Brother! Are you okay?"
Zhi Yujing waved his hand and said to him, "What do you need this old man for this time?"
He was taken aback. He actually hadn't come to find him, but he couldn't say that. An old man who was all alone should be most afraid of loneliness. His eyes rolled, and he said smoothly, "I wanted to ask if you have any of that chakra metal ore in your hands."
Zhi Yujing was slightly taken aback and looked at him with some curiosity. "I heard you don't usually use taijutsu in battle. Why did you think of using chakra metal to forge a weapon?"
He shook his head. "I'm using it for my summoned beast."
Only then did he nod in understanding. Although he was even more puzzled in his heart, he did not choose to ask more. He just called out lightly to the outside of the house, "Little Saburo, go and get my collection of chakra metal. You know the location, right?"
"Yes!" A person outside the house answered softly.
A happy expression appeared on his face. He hadn't expected to actually have a harvest with just a casual question. This chakra metal was an extremely rare controlled ore in the ninja world. It was all completely occupied by the five great nations. He had already prepared to go out and try his luck.
But Zhi Yujing could hold back from asking about his secret, but Mousse couldn't hold back his curiosity. Plus, he was already very familiar with him, so he asked, "Chakra metal itself only has the effect of conducting chakra. Your summoned beast is afraid it won't be of any use, right?"
