Konoha: Who's the good guy?

On the shimmering sea, the sails of a three-masted sailing ship billowed as it continued its voyage toward the border of the Land of Fire.

Minato Namikaze and Honoka Uzumaki stood hand in hand at the bow of the ship.

They chatted and laughed, sharing funny stories from their childhood and their respective growth experiences.

Even though this had been going on for three days, they still felt like they had so much to talk about.

On the aft deck of a sailboat.

Two crows were cawing loudly at a falcon that was chained to the mast.

Every now and then, they would pick up rags, pieces of wood, rotten nails, and other such things from various corners of the ship and throw them from the air at the bound falcons.

That sly and despicable demeanor vividly illustrates what it means for a petty person to gain power.

If it weren't for the fact that the mountain scenery explicitly forbids them from using any disgusting methods.

These two crazy guys who are trying to provoke the eagles would probably have already flown over each other's heads and given each other two shoves.

The falcons, whose ankles were chained and unable to fly or pounce, had completely given up after being tormented for three days.

Its struggles and anger were not only useless, but also attracted even more unrestrained laughter from the two crows.

What else can we do besides give up?

"What good will it do you to be so stubborn? Wouldn't it be better to live a life of luxury with me?"

Wearing large sunglasses and a pair of beach shorts reminiscent of his previous life, Yamanaka Kei lay sprawled on a beach chair, completely unconcerned about his image.

He glanced sideways at the falcon that remained lying silently on the ground.

He gently tried to persuade the short-tempered and extremely arrogant little guy.

"Hey..."

A weak, feeble cry of an eagle drifted over.

The mountain scenery gave me a jolt of energy.

This was the first time in three days that the falcon had responded to him.

He flipped himself up from the beach chair, formed a hand seal, and unleashed the secret technique of the mountain clan.

He was emotionally connected to the falcon.

Yamanaka Kei repeated what he had just said.

The limp falcon lying on the deck glanced at him, then immediately tucked its head under its wing, looking like it didn't want to talk to anyone.

However, its emotions were directly transmitted back through the mind-to-body technique.

Sadness? Grief? Do you not want to live anymore?

No, buddy.

It's just a summoning beast, and you can occasionally use it as a flying mount. Is it really that big of a deal?

Give me liberty or give me death?

"You're supposed to be my summoning beast, with food and lodging provided, and most of the time you can even stay in the enclosure and cuddle the baby eagles, so why are you so stubborn?"

Yamanaka Shoku squatted next to the falcon and patted its wings in an annoyed manner.

"Hey~!"

The eagle's head peeked out from under its wing and let out a fierce cry.

This time, the emotions were much stronger and clearer than before, arriving in sync with the eagle's cry.

"I killed your wives...them?! Them?!"

Yamanaka Kei paused for a moment, then slapped the silly bird on the head.

Damn it!

Even a time traveler like him wouldn't dare to talk about having a harem, yet you, a falcon, have already done it.

Is there no law left?

Are there any laws?

Forehead......

In the world of spirit beasts, it seems there really isn't such a thing?

Besides, aren't eagles monogamous? And aren't falcons monogamous too?

What's wrong with you?

Others get a positive result from two negatives, but you get a negative result from two positives?

Wait a minute, eagles and falcons are supposed to have reproductive isolation, right? What's with your weird bloodline?

Damn it!

The world of Naruto is indeed a strange and wonderful world!

A variety of thoughts flashed through Shan Zhongjing's mind.

Seeing the eagle's eyes filled with rage, as if it wanted to snatch a piece of his flesh, he irritably swung a Magical Technique: Not Here.

There are only six birds of prey on the Island of Spirits.

He's not stupid, how could he possibly kill?

Those big guys are a scarce resource for Konoha, and there are plenty of people who want to buy them.

Once they return to Konoha, would the families who bought the mother eagle refuse to have a few more baby eagles?

Although the falcon chosen by the mountain scenery is not quite the best in terms of size, it is still the king of raptors on the island of spirit communication.

With speed and power far exceeding those of its kind, which ninja wouldn't be envious!

Those old guys from those ninja clans are all incredibly shrewd; it's already a sign of their integrity that they didn't capture it and drug it.

No one would stop a married couple from reuniting.

The C-rank magic, "This Is Not What It Is," can envelop everything the eye sees in an illusionary layer.

Through the mechanism of this illusion.

The scene in the mountain view was directly extracted from the memory palace, showing a part of the bird-spirit animal breeding house.

And the state of a summoned beast living in its enclosure after it has been contracted by someone.

They then directly replicated the six female eagles they had seen that day in the breeding house, one-to-one.

"Huh?"

The falcon tilted its head, looking at the changing scene with a blank expression.

More than ten minutes later.

After experiencing the story scenes simulated by the mountain scenery through illusion, it finally understood that its mates were all enjoying happiness in another place.

Once it becomes a spirit beast of the mountain scenery, it will soon go to that place.

"Screech! Screech!"

The hawk's lifeless appearance vanished, its sharp eyes sweeping over the two crows, which cried incessantly at the mountain scenery.

Animals in the ninja world that possess great power generally have higher intelligence than ordinary animals.

Although the falcon in front of me had not been specially trained as a spirit beast, its intelligence was roughly equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child.

After believing Shan Zhongjing's explanation.

It not only had no aversion to becoming a summoning beast, but also thought it was a very worthwhile thing.

After all, supporting six spouses is no easy task!

Meals and accommodation are provided, so you don't have to worry about not having enough food to support your spouse and offspring.

How can it refuse?

It won't just forget about the three days of mental anguish it suffered!

Two crows, who were watching the play and preening each other's feathers with their beaks, felt a sense of unease when the hawk's gaze swept over them.

They shivered and shielded each other with their wings, looking pitifully at the mountain scenery.

"Ahem... They were terrified by you earlier, so it's normal for them to be a little upset, right? As the saying goes, 'Leave a way out for the eagle, so you can meet again in the future...'"

Yamanaka patted the falcon's wings and began to persuade the falcon, whose intelligence was so-so but whose mind was very simple.

He had been raising the crows in the pens for many years.

They really couldn't bear to let the other party cause trouble.

"Screeching sounds~"

"Yes, yes, they're so tiny, they're not even enough to fill a tooth gap. It's better to have them serve you tea and water in the future."

"Screech~"

"No problem, no problem. From now on, they'll be your little brothers and have to listen to you."

"唳~"

"Come on, let's sign this contract. It's a mutually agreeable agreement, and there's no deception between young and old."

After some persuasion, Shan Zhongjing finally saw the eagle reluctantly nod.

He decisively took out a blank scroll from the side pocket of his Jonin vest and used his own blood to draw a summoning blood pact.

After guiding the eagle to drip a drop of blood and press its claw mark onto the scroll, the spirit contract was officially signed!

"Come on! I'll treat you to some delicious food and drinks!"

Shan Zhongjing patted the eagle's large wings and laughed heartily.

You can ride flying summoned beasts! Get them!
