Early morning.
Rokuro comfortably climbed out of bed and took a look at his two missions.
Sure enough—Tsunade's mission was still hanging right there.
The system was angry; if he didn't let it exact its revenge, it wouldn't give up.
Unless something new happened that made the system even angrier, then it might be possible for the mission to change.
Sigh. Headache.
Rokuro felt very helpless.
First, he split off a Shadow Clone and sent it to do the daily training mission.
He prepared to wash up first, then head out for a stroll.
He actually wanted to train low-level ninjutsu, but his Experience Points were currently down to 1,400. That simply wasn't enough to upgrade even a single low-level ninjutsu to max level.
Since he couldn't upgrade it to max level, he had no motivation to train.
He might as well save up enough Experience and upgrade it all at once.
Just as he finished getting dressed and was preparing to wash up, he noticed a scroll placed at the head of his bed.
This made him somewhat puzzled. He picked up the scroll, opened it, and took a look.
Uh!
It was a Summoning Jutsu Scroll.
Several people's names were written on it—the very last name was Senju Tsunade.
Seeing Tsunade's name, Rokuro's eyes instantly lit up.
This was Katsuyu's Summoning Scroll!
How did it end up here with him?
Whatever—sign his name first and ask questions later. Delaying even one more second meant one more second of risk.
If the scroll disappeared, that would be a massive loss.
Rokuro immediately bit his finger and used his blood to write his name on the scroll.
Just as he finished writing, he heard a system notification:
[Summoning Jutsu Level 1: Experience Points 0/10,000]
[Summoned Beast Katsuyu Level 23: Experience Points 0/23,000,000]
Hearing this, Rokuro was stunned.
The Summoning Jutsu being able to level up made sense—it was probably just like other ninjutsu. The higher the level, the stronger the power and the lower the Chakra consumption.
But the summoned beast could also level up?!
What kind of situation was this?!
And damn—Katsuyu's level-up requirement was absurdly high!
With that much Experience, he felt he could crush the Hokage—no, even Uchiha Madara!
Besides, a summoned beast didn't truly belong to him.
It was only an equal contract; if it didn't want to help, it could simply refuse.
If he spent that much Experience helping it level up, only for it to ignore him later—wouldn't that be a huge loss?!
After being stunned for a while, Rokuro snapped back to reality.
Looking at Katsuyu's stats, he helplessly shook his head.
This thing—he couldn't afford to level it up even if he wanted to.
He might as well pretend this upgrade option didn't exist.
If he had that much Experience, wouldn't it be better to upgrade himself?
What was the point of upgrading someone else for no reason? Wasn't that just having nothing better to do?
If it were a master-servant contract, he might consider upgrading it when he had extra Experience.
But this was an equal contract—only an idiot would invest in it.
Snapping back to his senses, Rokuro noticed the Summoning Scroll had already disappeared.
Right after he signed his name, it had vanished.
By the looks of it, it had probably returned to wherever Katsuyu was.
Monstrous Strength and Katsuyu's Summoning were now both in his hands.
Coming here to find Tsunade this time could be considered a successful mission.
He just didn't know who had given him the scroll.
It seemed he could only ask Kuro.
After all, the only person who had been in this room last night was Kuro—so it must have been him.
Having figured this out, Rokuro quickly washed up and hurried next door to Kuro's room.
He woke up the still-sleeping Kuro and asked,
"Master, did you ask Tsunade for the Summoning Scroll?!"
Kuro sat up and glared at him.
"Watch your tone. Something this important—do you think I could just ask and receive it? From now on, Princess Tsunade is your master. Show her some respect, or I'll teach you a lesson myself!"
Rokuro curled his lip.
"You must have said something to her, Master. Otherwise, with her personality, how could she possibly give this to me? In the end, you're still the one who treats me best!"
Kuro smacked him on the head.
"Whether I said anything doesn't matter—the item is already yours. Shouldn't you call her Master? Didn't you shamelessly call her that just the other day?"
Rokuro rubbed his head and laughed awkwardly.
"That's true, haha. Calling her that won't cost me anything. Fine, I'll call her Master from now on—but in my heart, she's only the Second Master!"
Kuro got out of bed and started putting on his clothes.
"From now on, be more respectful toward Princess Tsunade. Don't act so cheeky. No matter what, she can now be considered your master.
For the next two days, focus on training your Summoning Jutsu. Once you're done, we'll return to Konoha."
Rokuro rolled his eyes.
Right now, he didn't have any Experience Points—how was he supposed to train the Summoning Jutsu?
It was just a waste of time.
He might as well return to Konoha earlier, take on new missions, and earn more Experience.
