Chapter 227: Subduing the Slug
Tsunade was dead…
Yet Li Jiexuan felt little sorrow. The Tsunade of this world, one of the Legendary Sannin, had nothing to do with his own Tsunade—and the one she cared for wasn't him, Li Jiexuan!
What she liked was merely a well-behaved, pitiful, and adorable child. Whether that child was called Zhang Jiexuan or Li Jiexuan didn't matter…
But the moment Tsunade died, the entire Shikkotsu Forest began to tremble!
A plump slug slowly emerged from the marsh. Just like in the anime, it looked cute—its round white body had two small black eyes, fixed tightly on Li Jiexuan and Tsunade's corpse.
But after a moment, the slug's originally tiny mouth suddenly expanded into something like a massive grinder as it roared furiously, "Kid, how dare you kill Tsunade here?"
As expected, a summon that could stand on the battlefield against the salamander wouldn't lack offensive capability…
Li Jiexuan didn't deny it. He simply smiled and nodded. "So what?"
"So what?"
The slug lashed violently at the surrounding bone forest in rage. "Our Shikkotsu Forest signed a contract with the First Hokage. For generations, we've served his descendants, and in return, he provided us protection. With this, hasn't our contract been broken?"
"Contracts can just be signed again." Li Jiexuan waved his hand dismissively. In truth, he didn't think much of the summoning contracts of the three great sacred lands…
Even Tailed Beasts could be toyed with by humans at will—let alone summoned creatures. If they were truly that powerful, it wouldn't have fallen to Naruto to save the ninja world!
"Sign again?" The slug stared at Li Jiexuan in confusion. "Does that mean Senju Hashirama isn't dead?"
"No, he's dead." Li Jiexuan shook his head with a bitter smile. Whether in this world or the other, Senju Hashirama was already gone.
"In that case, who am I supposed to form a contract with?"
The slug lashed its tail angrily. Among the three great summoning holy lands, their slug clan was the weakest. If they couldn't find a strong master, they might soon be pushed out of the three great lands altogether…
"With me!"
Li Jiexuan narrowed his eyes and took out a blood contract. "Sign this contract, and you'll be mine."
...
Hearing this, the slug was stunned for a long moment before bursting into loud laughter. "Hahaha! Kid, are you joking? With your tiny body, you want to contract me?"
"That's right." Li Jiexuan smiled faintly and pushed the blood contract forward.
Realizing Li Jiexuan wasn't joking, the slug stopped laughing and roared angrily, "Kid, don't push your luck!"
"If it weren't for the disgusting aura on you, I would've already chewed you up and swallowed you!" The slug sneered. "If you leave now, I might still spare you…"
"Senju Hashirama was the god of the ninja world—what are you supposed to be?" The slug mocked him mercilessly, but before it could finish—
"Crunch!"
Li Jiexuan leapt onto its body and bit down hard. In the Dragon Sage Mode, his sharp teeth easily pierced the slug's skin, and large amounts of its senjutsu chakra were forcibly drained.
"What are you doing, you brat?!"
Sensing its chakra rapidly draining, the slug panicked. Gritting its teeth, it split itself into countless smaller slugs.
"Trying to run?"
Li Jiexuan sneered as he formed hand seals. He hadn't been idle all these days after obtaining the Sealing Scroll…
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Clones as numerous as the slugs appeared, densely filling the area. They grabbed the split slugs one by one, stuffing them into their mouths and devouring them while frantically siphoning their chakra…
