Chapter 94 The Spirit Contract with the Celestial Dragon Clan
"I never imagined that after all these years, I would still end up cooperating with you humans who use heretical powers..."
Golden Dragon glanced at Souji and Nagato, then continued eating the Momotaro rice ball that Souji had given him, and said with a sigh.
Although I was still reluctant, these rice balls smelled so good...
Although the reason is absurd, Golden Dragon really can't resist this flavor.
"The power of heretics?" the Souji asked in confusion.
"A power that doesn't belong to this world..."
Golden Dragon only said this one sentence, and then did not continue.
The others were confused, but Souji made some connections.
A power that doesn't belong to this world... Could it be that the Otsutsuki clan brought the Divine Tree, allowing humans to obtain chakra?
Chakra is a product refined from the combination of spiritual and physical energy.
However, the people of this world did not originally have the ability to refine chakra.
It was the influence of the Otsutsuki clan, an extraterrestrial race, who planted the Divine Tree in this world.
If you think about it that way, chakra can indeed be called the power of the heretical path.
Even the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku has met the Sage of Six Paths.
Judging from the attitude of this golden dragon, the Great Toad Sage is even more ancient, and he even knows about the Otsutsuki clan planting the Divine Tree, so it doesn't seem surprising.
However, judging from Huang Jinlong's attitude, he clearly did not intend to say more, so after thinking about it, the Souji did not ask any further questions.
Anyway, matters of the Ōtsutsuki clan and the Divine Tree are beyond my current capabilities.
The key information is already known from the original work, so there's no point in listening to more details and secrets.
Let's focus on finishing this Ninja World War first.
"However, I must state beforehand that although I have agreed to the Heavenly Dragon Clan signing a contract with you, I have special circumstances that prevent me from fighting for you.
If you need help, you can only seek out my descendants. Is that alright?"
"Understood, then let's do it this way." The Souji nodded slightly.
The three sacred sites, including Mount Myōboku, are inhabited by sages who never leave, so it's not surprising that the Golden Dragon behaves this way.
Although the Golden Dragon's situation seems different from that of the Great Toad Sage, and he is clearly not too old to fight, this is the other party's hidden story, and Souji does not intend to ask any further questions.
In any case, given the Golden Dragon's strength and prestige, it's easy to deduce that the reason is likely that he needs to oversee some crucial matter, or that his power is limited and he must wait until the final moment.
"Then, let's begin signing the psychic contract."
After saying this, the golden dragon raised its head and let out a dragon roar.
Instantly, all the dragons on Dragon Island responded with their roars and flew towards this direction at the same time.
Boom boom boom!
Over a hundred celestial dragons landed with a deafening roar, surrounding the Souji and his party.
Now that Yahiko and the other two have gotten used to the big scene, they are no longer as surprised and flustered as before, but they still have an expression of feeling that it is very spectacular.
The Souji took out the prepared summoning scroll, and the golden dragon nodded slightly, squeezing out a drop of golden dragon blood from its front claw.
The dragon's blood dripped onto the scroll, was instantly absorbed, and disappeared.
The other dragons did the same, each dripping a drop of dragon blood onto the scroll.
The spirit scroll is quite special; even after absorbing a large amount of dragon blood, its appearance remains unchanged.
After all the dragons had finished dripping their blood, it was the Souji's turn to write his name in the first blank space on the right side of the scroll with the large brush.
The summoning scroll has rectangular frames from right to left, where people who sign contracts with summoned beasts can write their names.
Summoning beasts use their blood as proof, while humans use their signatures.
After Souji, the four members of the Anbu also wrote down their names one by one.
Golden Dragon looked at the commander with some surprise.
This man not only signed the contract himself, but also made his subordinates sign their names as well?
Although it was not very clear about the situation of human society outside, it knew everything about the world of spirit beasts.
You should know that all those who can contract high-level spirit beasts regard this contract qualification as their own secret, which can only be obtained by blood descendants and direct disciples.
But this person actually gave such a huge benefit to his subordinates... that's truly rare.
Once all four had written their names on the scroll, the contract was complete.
"Alright, now I can finally summon top-tier summoning beasts!"
The Souji was quite satisfied.
Although he is already very strong in terms of pure combat power, and the system will continue to provide him with a lot more, he doesn't really need the combat power of summoning beasts.
The most important thing about summoned beasts is their faster and more agile flight ability, as well as their imposing appearance and aura that exude the aura of a powerful being.
Don't think that being handsome is a trivial matter. In fact, creating a persona is very important in everything you do.
After briefly learning about the names and characteristics of each of the Celestial Dragons, Souji took out all the Momotaro rice balls.
Although Golden Dragon wished he could keep it all for himself, he was still very generous on the surface and distributed the rice balls to his descendants.
When Celestial Dragon tasted Momotaro rice balls for the first time, he was shocked that such a delicious food existed in the world. Unfortunately, there weren't many rice balls available, and he could only get one.
If you eat rice balls made by Yahiko and Nagato, you'll simply be amazed by their deliciousness, but if you eat rice balls made by Konan...
"ah!"
Golden Dragon let out a terrifying scream, and then, just like Dragon Two before him, his eyes rolled back as he collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
Every dragon that eats Konan's special rice ball suffers the same fate, even the most powerful ancient dragons are no exception.
The only difference was the speed of recovery; the Golden Dragon was unconscious for less than a minute before waking up on its own.
"At that moment, I saw the first ray of light when the world was born!"
Golden Dragon looked at the creator, Konan, and said in an extremely serious voice.
Aside from the Golden Dragon, the other Heavenly Dragons who ate Konan's rice ball also saw all sorts of stream-of-consciousness things like the world, soul, and time.
The few Celestial Dragon who had tried both types of rice balls unanimously agreed that while Yahiko and Nagato's regular rice balls were also incredibly delicious, Konan's were still better.
The taste was so intense that it shocked them to the core, even their souls.
The high praise from the Celestial Dragon members left Konan completely bewildered, unsure whether to interpret it as an appreciation of her culinary skills.
...
"Spiritual Communication Technique - Dragon's Blessing!"
"Spiritual Communication Technique - Dragon Flight!"
"Summoning Jutsu: Celestial Dragon!"
The three of them, Yahiko, Dog, Rooster, Monkey, and Goat, formed the hand seals for the summoning technique in the order of Dog, Rooster, Monkey, and Goat.
Then they gently bit their fingers, pressed them to the ground, and the blood spread out to form a summoning technique array.
White smoke exploded, revealing three small celestial dragons in the formation.
Following the three, Souji and Sasori also summoned the Heavenly Dragon.
"Summoning Technique: Dragon Horse!"
"Summoning Jutsu: Celestial Dragon!"
A much larger cloud of white smoke exploded, and in response to the two's summons came two celestial dragons, each larger than Gamaken and Manda!
