[Reward: Random Intermediate Ninjutsu Card]
Random again.
Although Masahiko had expected it, he wasn't too surprised.
Random Intermediate Ninjutsu Card... He thought for a long while and entered the Training Space.
A moment later.
[personalized projection · Senju Tobirama: 2 Hours]
Nowadays, the Training Space was no longer limited to a few cultivation directions like Ninjutsu and Nintaijutsu; it basically covered all categories of Ninja abilities.
Therefore.
The categories he could consult upon summoning him were becoming increasingly diverse.
Masahiko scanned the panel.
His current panel was no longer in its initial state.
Body Flicker Technique, Shadow Clone, Great Fireball, and so on had all reached Limit Break. Although there was still room for improvement and refinement, using his precious two hours on those would be too wasteful.
His gaze scanned and finally settled on Summoning Jutsu, Chakra Mode, and Soul Binding Technique.
These three were undoubtedly the top priorities.
In these fields, any single item might have someone more professional than Senju Tobirama, but his overall cost-effectiveness was the highest.
As for the difficulty in the soul domain—
If he could figure out the Soul Binding Technique and thoroughly master his current soul-related knowledge, these two hours would not be in vain.
Thinking of this, Masahiko exited the Training Space and began to make an outline.
A short while later, he entered the Training Space again.
[Consume 'Random Intermediate Ninjutsu Card']
[Summon 'Senju Tobirama']
The next second, a familiar figure appeared ahead once more.
The other party just took a glance and immediately recognized him: "We meet again, young descendant of Konoha."
"Nidaime-sama, these are the questions for this time, as well as some summaries of my research during this period."
Masahiko handed over three pieces of paper.
He had written down his Collapsing Flow and the techniques and processes derived from it, similar to the "Fluid Cloak," on them.
In addition, he also wrote about the Soul Binding Technique and the current difficulties faced by the Anbu and Root Organization.
In short... he wrote down as many of his problems as possible.
Senju Tobirama scanned them, held the papers further away, and frowned slightly.
If the three conjured papers were turned into a cell phone, it would probably fit perfectly with meme images from his previous life.
Fortunately, no matter how high the intelligence was, it was still a projection after all.
Masahiko remained as steady as a mountain.
A moment later, Senju Tobirama sighed lightly: "Danzo... forget it, how embarrassing."
He set the papers aside.
"Let's start with your highest priority question. Your idea is good, but Danzo withdrew a large number of people, so you need to supplement the intelligence network as soon as possible."
"Summoning Jutsu is the first priority."
"Your idea is good; using raised summoned beasts to transmit messages is indeed more convenient and faster than humans. The only problem is the contract..."
"Let me think..."
Senju Tobirama pondered for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said, "Got it!"
He also conjured up some paper.
"I've modified the Summoning Contract. Through this contract, you can sign a contract with a population of similar Ninja Beasts."
Masahiko took it and looked at it carefully.
The technique itself wasn't difficult; what was difficult was how to improve and transform it.
He quickly memorized it... The next day, Masahiko woke up, took out the content he had written overnight, and observed and pondered carefully.
The Summoning Contract and Water Release were simple.
The most difficult part was still the soul-related field; basically, more than half of yesterday's time was spent discussing the Soul Binding Technique and other related Ninjutsu.
There were... gains, but they needed to be digested and tested.
In theory, the Summoning Contract part also involved this area.
Masahiko thought for a moment, washed up, and rushed toward the former Root Organization base... the Root Organization.
Aoba Yamashiro walked in, scanning the surroundings.
As a Special Jonin of the Intelligence Department, he naturally knew about the Root Organization, but this was his first time coming to Root's base.
A multi-layered steel underground base.
Looking down from above, it was very grand, but at the same time, it exuded a sense of weirdness and gloom.
The various corridors and traps were very conducive to concealment, turning this place into a mechanical fortress where uninformed outsiders could easily be assassinated.
If Danzo hadn't left voluntarily... taking this place down would have required a lot of manpower.
He walked down, his eyes constantly scanning.
Just then.
"Stop staring, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
A voice came from the side.
Aoba Yamashiro looked toward the sound and saw an incredibly young face.
"Masahiko-sama!"
He bowed slightly.
These days, Konoha had drawn many Ninjas to form a new Root Organization.
The leader hadn't been determined yet, but... within the Intelligence Department, everyone knew who it was.
Yagyu Masahiko!
This person who, a year ago, was still unknown and just promoted to Chunin, had climbed to a level that made them look up at an alarming speed a year later.
"Aoba-senpai, you're a Ninja from the Intelligence Department, you should have seen my proposal, right?"
Masahiko asked.
Aoba Yamashiro nodded: "I have raised a few hundred crows. If Konoha needs them, I can contribute them, it's just..."
"I don't have the ability to contract them."
He looked a bit troubled.
A Summoning Contract can be used on beasts with a certain level of intelligence, making them summoned beasts.
Most Ninjas' summoned beasts are of this type.
However.
Only Ninja Beast clans that possess high intelligence and have mastered the use of Chakra can conclude a family Summoning Contract to become a summoned beast family.
Aoba Yamashiro's crows were clearly not in this category.
This was also what he considered the most difficult part after receiving the mission.
However.
Compared to ordinary wild beasts, his crows were highly trained, and the intelligence of crows themselves was higher than that of other birds.
They were a very excellent and suitable group for a contract.
"Since I asked Senpai to come over, I naturally have a solution."
Masahiko walked out of the passage.
On the ground, a contract formula had been drawn in advance.
"These are?"
Aoba Yamashiro was startled.
"Call your crows over."
Masahiko stood by the contract formula.
Aoba Yamashiro looked up, his expression becoming several degrees more respectful, and he quickly nodded: "Yes!"
The next moment, he raised his finger and blew a simulated bird call from his mouth.
A short while later, the murder of crows surged over like a dark cloud, circling above them.
As his "bird call" changed, the crows flew down one by one from above, landing all around them.
Aoba looked at Masahiko.
"How many are needed?"
"That's enough, let's try it first."
Masahiko closed his eyes.
The next second, his hands formed seals, mental energy radiated, and Chakra spread through his mental energy to each of the landed crows.
A moment later, the contract formulas gathered from all directions, enveloping these dozens of crows within them.
In just two seconds.
Lines of formulas appeared on the scroll, finally forming a Summoning Contract scroll.
"Give it a try."
To the side, Aoba Yamashiro was dazed.
He didn't even understand what had happened, and the contract scroll was already finished?
That was too fast!
He dumbfoundedly signed his name on it with his own blood.
After that, he dismissed the crows, letting them go to the surrounding woods.
Biting his finger, forming seals... Summoning!
A moment later, several crows flew up from the ground, circling around him.
"It worked!"
Aoba Yamashiro could not hide his excitement, "Sama, this, how was this done?"
He had wanted a Summoning Contract so much!
He had never been able to do it before, but as soon as Masahiko arrived, he had one, directly solving the biggest problem.
"It's just expanding a single contract to a group through barriers and mental influence, but it's not permanent."
Masahiko explained, "It's only limited to this specific group; population replacements will still require re-establishing the contract... let's try it slowly and iterate through generations."
"That is already very strong!"
Aoba Yamashiro was extremely excited, "It's not that we haven't tried before, but ordinary Ninja birds simply couldn't withstand an individual contract..."
How long had it been?
From proposing the plan to quickly completing the Summoning Contract improvement, Masahiko had only spent about a month; it was already an incredibly divine speed.
