"This is a summoning scroll. Write your name on it with your blood and leave your handprint." Kabuto took out a large scroll and handed it to Aoyama.
After receiving the scroll, Aoyama slowly spread it out on the large stone table. Orochi Maru's name had faded a little. Kabuto didn't see Kabuto's name. It seemed like Kabuto hadn't signed the contract yet. The first few names were already blurred. However, Aoyama didn't care about that. Leaving his name on the scroll was the right thing to do.
After biting his finger, Aoyama began to write his name on the scroll. If this was in his previous life, he wouldn't have bitten his finger. Even if he pricked his finger with a needle, it would hurt for a long time. In this life, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. The environment changed his personality. After killing so many people, he was already used to getting injured.
Finally, after leaving his handprint on the scroll, Aoyama returned it to Kabuto.
"Then I'll teach you how to do the hand seals. Listen carefully. The summoning technique only requires five hand seals. The order is Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei. If you want to practice, go outside. This base is too small for you." Orochi Maru watched Aoyama sign the blood contract before continuing to teach Aoyama.
Orochi Maru's words stopped Aoyama from giving it a try. Indeed, the space here was too small. Although he might not be able to summon a super large snake, there was still a high chance.
"Orochi Maru -sama, then I'll go practice." Aoyama left after saying that. Luckily, there was a valley nearby that he could use to practice the summoning technique.
In a small clearing in the valley, Aoyama's hands slowly formed the hand seals according to the order of Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei. He guided the Chakra out of his body and placed his palm on the ground. At the same time, he shouted, "Summoning Technique."
With a bang, a large cloud of Chakra smoke rose. Then, a small snake with black patterns appeared on the ground. Aoyama's eyes twitched. What could this little guy do? However, after thinking about it, Naruto calmed down. At least it was a snake. It wouldn't be able to summon an egg.
"Human, did you summon me? Is this the outside world? Interesting. Hurry up and bring me my tribute. Your Mysterious Snake Lord wants to eat meat. "The small black snake stared arrogantly at Aoyama.
Ignoring the small snake's arrogance, Aoyama was stunned. If he remembered correctly, out of all the snakes that Orochi Maru summoned, only the Snake Dowager could speak. Later on, Sasuke's snake seemed to be able to speak as well. However, none of the other snakes could speak.
There were so many toads in Mount Myoboku, but most of them could speak. Unlike the snakes that Orochi Maru summoned in the Ryuchi Cave, none of them could speak. They were all used as cannon fodder and died one after another. However, since this snake could speak, it meant that it was extraordinary. At the very least, it was much stronger than those dead snakes.
"You're called Mysterious Snake?" Aoyama squatted down and stared at the black snake on the ground.
"That's right. I'm your Mysterious Snake Lord, the new leader of the Ryuchi Cave." Mysterious Snake arrogantly arched his upper body and hissed with his bright red tongue.
"Future leader?" Aoyama grasped the information in Mysterious Snake's words.
"Hmph, I'll grow up very soon. Then, I'll kill the old Snake Dowager and become the new leader of the Ryuchi Cave." Mysterious Snake snorted angrily. He seemed to hate the Snake Dowager.
Aoyama quickly came up with an idea. He used Shadow Clone Technique and sent two Shadow Clones into the forest. Soon, they returned with a wild boar. With this' tribute ', Aoyama asked around for information about the Ryuchi Cave.
The corner of Moonlight's mouth twitched as she watched the one-foot-long Black Serpent devour a large wild boar. 'This little thing has such a big appetite,' she thought to herself. However, she had basically gotten the information she wanted.
The Ryuchi Cave was different from Mount Myoboku. The number of serpents in the Ryuchi Cave far outnumbered the toads in Mount Myoboku. However, most of the serpents were just animals without intelligence. That was what Mysterious Snake said himself. The remaining serpents were the real masters of the Ryuchi Cave. White Snake Sage was the leader of the serpents.
Moreover, the serpents were cold-blooded. White Snake Sage didn't have the leisure to manipulate the serpents under his command. Therefore, there was a leader who ruled over all the serpents in the Ryuchi Cave. The leader's position was obtained through killing. Only the strongest had the right to become the leader.
"Human, if you're willing to worship me and provide me with tributes like this, I can help you in battle. How about it?" Mysterious Snake stared at Aoyama eagerly.
"Sure." After pondering for a moment, Moonlight agreed. Although the snake's attitude was a little arrogant, since it dared to clamor about killing Snake Dowager, it meant that its potential wasn't low. Once she had a good relationship with the snake, she could slowly find an opportunity to come into contact with immortal arts.
In the following days, Aoyama practiced the art of summoning spirits every day. He even put aside his cultivation of Firemeld. Instead, he summoned Mysterious Snake every day and provided it with large amounts of prey caught in the mountains. Under Mysterious Snake's guidance, he attempted to summon ordinary serpents without intelligence.
On the first day, he could only summon serpents as thick as buckets. On the sixth day, Aoyama finally succeeded in summoning a giant serpent the size of a normal house. However, they were all creatures without intelligence. According to Mysterious Snake, the old creatures with intelligence were greedier than the last. Summoning them required a lot of tributes.
Therefore, Mysterious Snake taught Aoyama a little trick that allowed him to summon ordinary serpents flexibly. Aoyama was convinced that Mysterious Snake was no ordinary creature. At the very least, he could tell that Mysterious Snake held a high position in the Ryuchi Cave just by looking at its inherited knowledge.
"Hey, Mysterious Snake, how big is the Ryuchi Cave?" Aoyama rested against a tree while Mysterious Snake coiled around Aoyama's wrist. Its body was a little thicker than it was a few days ago.
"How big is the Ryuchi Cave? I can't tell you, but it's very big. There are so many serpents in the Ryuchi Cave, and each one of them has a bigger appetite than the last. The only downside is that the food inside is a little monotonous. It's not as tasty as the meat outside. "
As he spoke, the gluttonous Mysterious Snake stuck his tongue out. It was obvious that he wanted to eat again. He was only a little big, but his appetite was shocking.
"You gluttonous, lazy bastard. I won't be able to eat today. I need to rest tomorrow and fight the day after tomorrow, so I won't be summoning you for the next two days." Aoyama glared at Mysterious Snake.
In the past six days, Aoyama had used a large number of wild beasts as tributes and had become familiar with Mysterious Snake. Mysterious Snake no longer called himself Master Mysterious Snake every time he opened his mouth. At the very least, he had placed Aoyama on the same level as him.
"Got it. I'll take my leave now. Don't forget to give me my tributes," Mysterious Snake reminded Aoyama before returning to the Ryuchi Cave in a puff of white smoke.
