Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 114: Spiritual Beasts

"Um.... Is this your summoned beast?"

Karin stared at the tadpole on the ground with a dull look on her face.

"Damn it, failed again! The one I want to communicate with is a toad!"

Uzumaki Naruto scratched his hair in annoyance.

"Not really. At least this is a young toad."

Bai comforted Uzumaki Naruto very sincerely.

However, to Uzumaki Naruto, this was worse than a laugh, at least he could argue back.

"Forget it! Let me show you what spiritualism is!"

Karin said this with some pride, then bit her thumb and quickly formed a seal.

Hai-xu-you-shen-wei

"Psychic art!"

As the smoke cleared, a large cow with different colors and upright legs appeared in front of everyone.

"Moo?"

Big Milk Tank tilted his head and looked around in confusion.

"Muffled~"

Karin jumped up happily and put her arms around Menmen's neck.

"Moo~!"

Menmen shouted excitedly, then spun around with Karin in his arms.

"Moo moo~"

I miss you~

"Me too~"

Karin said happily while rubbing her face.

"what?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Karin and Menmen with a dull expression.

"So, this is my sister's spirit animal? A cow? Not even as good as a toad."

Uzumaki Naruto muttered quietly.

"What are you talking about!"

Karin put her hands on her hips and looked at Uzumaki Naruto.

"Moo! Moo!"

That’s it, that’s it!

He stood with his hands on his hips and looked at Uzumaki Naruto with dissatisfaction.

"Menmen~ Let my brother see your strength."

Karin raised her chin slightly and spoke with some pride.

"Moo!"

Menmen raised his hand to gather his strength, then smashed the huge rock beside the river with one punch.

Forehead....

So are the two of them a combination of super strength plus super strength?

Jiraiya's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the man and the beast hugging each other to celebrate.

“The two of them have a really good relationship.”

Jiraiya said with some emotion.

"Well, they have had a good relationship since they were young."

Uchiha Star nodded.

When Karin was little, Kaori was studying with Nohara Rin and would come back very late.

At that time, Karin was afraid to sleep alone, so Uchiha Hoshi would accompany her at night whenever he was free.

But this is not a long-term solution. Before Uchiha Xing could figure out a solution, someone, or rather a beast, helped Uchiha Xing solve the problem.

Milkshake, who is exceptionally kind to children, heard Karin crying one night, and began to comfort her and accompany her. Later, Milkshake stayed with Karin every night, and as time went by, the man and the beast both regarded each other as their family.

Uchiha Xing thought for a long time, then looked through a series of information and found a way to sign a contract, allowing Miltank to become Karin's summoning beast.

The name Menmen was given by Karin.

Of course, as a teacher, he needs to be fair. Through Uchiha Xing's continuous efforts, he drew two good followers.

......

"Hey~ That cow was summoned by spirits, why didn't my lovely little Junjun summon me? I can understand that the yellow-skinned electric mouse was not summoned by Baibai, after all, it is storing electricity. I am such a beautiful and powerful animal, why didn't little Junjun call me~"

A very pleasant voice sounded, and just by listening to the voice, one could feel that the other person must be an extremely beautiful woman.

"I said, can you crawl faster?"

Yes, it's climbing.

Ban looked at the white snake behind him with great disgust.

"Don't lie down and talk without any back pain! If you have the ability, get down and walk. Don't lie on Ahri and give orders!"

The white snake Mi Li said with disdain to Ban, who was lying on the head of the large Ahri with his legs swinging leisurely.

"Come on~ Xing asked me to watch you, so of course I have to be the leader."

Madara couldn't help but stretch as he spoke.

"Bah! Xing clearly asked you to help Ahri look after me, but now! Ahri is carrying so many things, even I have to help her with that, and you! You are the one who takes all the responsibility!"

Rice grain side

"Ha! Are you unhappy with me? Do you want to fight?"

Ban narrowed his eyes and looked at Mi Li.

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom?"

As Mi Li spoke, he showed his fangs, and dark purple smoke faintly emerged from his mouth.

"Okay!"

Madara jumped down, digging his claws into the ground, ready to reveal his true form at any time.

"Alright you two, if you keep going like this, I'll tell Xing about this, meow."

As soon as Ahri opened her mouth, the cat and the snake that were about to fight froze in place.

Then slowly, everyone was busy with their own things, some pulled things, some took advantage of the power of others.

Over at Konoha...

"Damn it! I must summon a summoned beast that is more powerful than my sister's!"

Uzumaki Naruto's fighting spirit was suddenly aroused, and he began to practice summoning techniques frantically.

"Sure enough, pressure brings motivation."

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto working so hard, Jiraiya nodded with great satisfaction.

After a long time, Uzumaki Naruto was so tired that he was breathing heavily, while Karin and Kimimaro had finished their fight.

"Rest for a while, eat and then continue practicing."

Uchiha Xing invited everyone to come and eat.

"Wow~ I didn't expect that Sister Yuori's cooking is so delicious!"

Uzumaki Naruto said happily, and then quickly put the meal away.

"If it tastes good, eat more. There's still plenty."

Uchiha Xing smiled happily when he heard someone praising his cooking.

"Oh? Really?"

Jiraiya nodded in agreement.

"I heard from Izumi that your opponent, Naruto, is the genius of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Neji, right?"

Uchiha Star looked at Uzumaki Naruto and asked.

"Ah."

Uzumaki Naruto nodded.

"Then you have to work harder, otherwise you won't be able to defeat him."

Uchiha Xing cheered for Uzumaki Naruto.

"Most definitely!"

Uzumaki Naruto answered Uchiha Star very seriously.

Uchiha Star smiled at this.

Two days later, Uchiha Xing left Konoha and returned to the Hidden Rain Village, and Izumi came to take over his shift.

"My lovely Genin~ did you miss me~"

Izumi's version of Uchiha Xing slid and appeared in front of Bai and the others.

However, Karin and Kimimaro ignored Uchiha Hoshi as they were busy fighting each other.

"Teacher, aren't you tired?" Switching identities back and forth.

Bai looked at Uchiha Xing beside him helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do because my identity doesn't allow it."

Uchiha Xing shrugged helplessly, then began to watch their training according to the schedule, and when he had nothing to do, he would go to watch the process of the tadpoles turning into toads.

Now the tadpole has four legs.

"I finally know how tadpoles turn into toads."

Uchiha Xing stood on one foot on the ground, his hands swinging constantly.

"But I have a question, Naruto, you are not summoning the same tadpole, are you?"

Uchiha Xing has wanted to ask this question for a long time.

After all, not all tadpoles are bad.

Every time Uzumaki Naruto summons a tadpole, it will be a little bigger than the previous one.

"Probably not."

Uzumaki Naruto said this with a guilty conscience.

"Then work hard and do your best."

Uchiha Xing raised his hand and patted Uzumaki Naruto on the head, then walked away.

Here, Uchiha Xing had just taken Karin and Kimimaro to make the next plan, when suddenly Uchiha Xing and Uzumaki Karin felt the strange chakra, and then quickly rushed towards the direction of the strange chakra.

Before we reached that place, we saw a huge toad leaping into the air.

"Wow, what a big toad!"

Karin pointed at the big red toad and shouted.

"Oh! You are here."

Jiraiya suddenly appeared and greeted Uchiha Xing and the others.

"That toad couldn't be Naruto's summoning beast!"

Karin pointed at the huge toad that kept calling Jiraiya and asked Jiraiya.

"Yeah, that's what Naruto did."

Jiraiya nodded very proudly.

"Wow~ Such a big toad, how big a pot would it take to cook it. Karin-chan, after you finish your training, let's go eat bullfrogs."

As Uchiha Xing spoke, various methods of making bullfrogs appeared in his mind, and suspicious liquid flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"You can't eat that! And wipe your saliva!"

Jiraiya yelled.

Uchiha Xing turned to look at Jiraiya, and then said: "Would you like to go eat bullfrog with us later? Cold pot bullfrog, braised bullfrog, chopped pepper bullfrog, boiled bullfrog..."

"Gudong!"

Jiraiya swallowed silently.

It sounds like it's delicious.

Jiraiya hesitated.

"Cough cough!"

Jiraiya coughed a few times, then said reluctantly: "Since you said so, I will eat with you."

Well, anyway, a bullfrog is not a toad, that's right.

"Good~"

Uchiha Xing asked Karin and the others to practice hard, while he himself prepared to start making various bullfrogs.

Two hours later, everyone sat on a high place, eating bullfrogs while watching the big bullfrogs jumping in the distance. No, it was a big toad.

"How long do you think Naruto can last?"

Karin spat out a piece of bone and asked everyone.

"Based on his current condition, he should be able to hold out for another hour."

Bai picked up a piece of bullfrog meat and put it into his mouth.

"I think so too. Whether it's the remaining amount of chakra or the damage he has suffered, he won't be able to hold on for long."

Kimimaro said this while silently adding some meat to Uchiha Xing's bowl.

"I think Naruto can hold out until the day is over."

Jiraiya said as he placed the bone he had just spit out on the frog-shaped skeleton placed next to him.

The fourth one is assembled.

Jiraiya happily began to eat the fifth frog.

"Hmm~ It looks like Naruto won't be able to eat the bullfrog I made. Let's quickly finish eating all of this."

Uchiha Xing urged everyone on the side.

"Uh-huh."

"Moo!"

Everyone nodded.

Ok? ? ?

"Shh!"

The five of them turned their heads to look at Menmen, who was eating bullfrog with chopsticks on the far right.

"Wait! Didn't I remember that cows eat grass?"

Jiraiya silently questioned.

“That’s how I remember it, too.”

Uchiha Xing looked at Mundun who was chewing the bullfrog in confusion.

quiet....

"Menmen! You can't eat this!"

Karin raised her hand and slapped the back of Menmen's head.

"puff!"

A piece of frog meat was slapped away by Karin.

"Moo moo?"

why?

"Because you are a cow! You eat grass!"

As Karin said this, she took out the scroll of fodder exclusive to Menmen that she had asked Uchiha Xing to bring over, and then took the fodder out of the scroll.

"Eat this."

Karin pushed the fresh tender grass in front of Menmen.

"Moo~"

it is good.

Menmen took the tender grass and started to eat it obediently. After all, its real contract master was staring at it eagerly, wondering what if she put it into the space and made it fall asleep.

After a long time, everyone had eaten all the bullfrogs and the sky gradually darkened.

Uzumaki Naruto persisted until dusk and finally fainted. However, Uzumaki Naruto was standing on the edge of Gamabunta, and the moment he fainted, his body fell down.

"Naruto!"

If you fall from such a high place, you will definitely die!

Seeing this, Karin stood up and was about to catch Uzumaki Naruto, but was stopped by Uchiha Hoshi.

"Don't worry."

As Uchiha Xing finished speaking, he saw Gamabunta sticking out his tongue and catching Uzumaki Naruto.

Everyone above breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Naruto has passed the test of the barbecued bullfrog, no, the toad."

Uchiha Xing said with great relief.

"Well, I should go too."

Jiraiya was just about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and threw the huge scroll he had been holding down.

The scroll was unfolded in front of Gamabunta, with various names recorded on it, the last one being Uzumaki Naruto's name.

"Really? Jiraiya, that guy, always does unnecessary things. I know that this guy summoned me out with his own strength."

Gamabunta muttered softly, thinking of the unconscious Uzumaki Naruto. Gamabunta looked up at a certain place and then jumped away.

"Well, it's all over."

Uchiha Xing stretched, then said goodbye to Jiraiya, and left with Karin and the others.

Time flies, three days have passed.

"Snapped."

"Snapped."

In the quiet ward, the sound of chess pieces entering the board could be heard.

"Shikamaru-kun is really good at chess."

Shiro praised Nara Shikamaru's chess skills.

"You're pretty good too. You've only been playing for three days, but you've managed to do it. That's really good."

Nara Shikamaru looked at the chess pieces that were pressing forward step by step and praised Bai's chess skills sincerely.

"Well?"

Uzumaki Naruto opened his eyes in confusion in his sleep, stared at the unfamiliar ceiling for a moment, then turned his head and saw Nara Shikamaru and Haku playing chess next to him.

"Ok?"

Uzumaki Naruto sat up suddenly.

"Why are you here?"

"Hey! You finally woke up. You've been sleeping for three days and three nights."

Nara Shikamaru followed Uzumaki Naruto and greeted him.

"Oh."

Uzumaki Naruto nodded, then realized something was wrong.

"Wait?! How long did you say I slept?"

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly jumped up and anxiously asked Nara Shikamaru and Bai Dao: "How long is left until the third exam!"

"Don't worry, you haven't slept too much. The test is tomorrow."

Shiro comforted Uzumaki Naruto.

"Ah!!! Why didn't you call me!"

Uzumaki Naruto was anxiously looking for clothes.

"Calm down, Naruto. Because tomorrow is the exam, you should practice better today. You can't drag your tired body to fight with people who are full of energy. Karin and Kimimaro went to the hot spring today to relax from the fatigue of the past month."

Bai pushed Uzumaki Naruto back onto the bed.

"So take a good rest."
