Those clan members who have been deeply rooted in the idea of "Uchiha above all else" are beyond saving.
However, there are still many children who can be saved.
Should I change the environment for these children?!
How to change it?!
At this point, Uchiha Shisui, though still troubled and distressed, now had a direction.
This greatly reduced Uchiha Shisui's pressure and weakened the despair in his heart.
It was precisely because of this that, after pondering for a moment, Uchiha Shisui bowed to Bai Xuan.
"Your answer solved a long-standing problem for me."
"Thank you, Bai Xuan-kun."
"You want that crow, please pick whichever you like."
Chapter 15: Second Summoning Beast: Crow
Listening to Uchiha Shisui's words, Bai Xuan nodded gently and replied, "Yes."
With that, Bai Xuan turned his gaze to the sky full of crows.
Once his sense of smell evolved into Wind Sense of Smell, Bai Xuan was able to "smell" Chakra.
Since Uchiha Shisui told him to pick freely, Bai Xuan naturally wanted to choose a crow with a higher amount of Chakra.
With a slight twitch of his nose, Bai Xuan quickly locked onto a crow.
"Shisui-senpai, I want that one." Bai Xuan extended his finger and pointed.
Looking at the crow Bai Xuan pointed to, Uchiha Shisui praised, "You have good taste."
"That crow is the Strongest and most intelligent among the entire flock."
Chakra is a combination of cellular energy and spiritual energy.
Therefore, to a certain extent, a high Chakra content means a stronger body and spirit.
In reality, this translates to being Stronger and more intelligent.
If it doesn't conform to this conclusion, it might be due to a special Bloodline or other issues.
At the next moment, Uchiha Shisui blew a whistle.
As soon as the whistle sounded, the crow Bai Xuan had chosen immediately opened its mouth—
"Caw!"
After a crow's cry, this crow quickly flew towards Uchiha Shisui, then stood on Uchiha Shisui's shoulder, quietly looking at Bai Xuan.
In fact, with this crow's Intelligence, it could already understand the "transaction" between Uchiha Shisui and Bai Xuan.
It knew that Uchiha Shisui was going to give it to Bai Xuan.
As a crow, although it didn't like this "transaction," it didn't reach the point of resistance or disgust.
As long as Bai Xuan, its "new master," was good, it could accept it.
As for how to judge whether Bai Xuan would be a "good master," it naturally had its own ideas.
So, at this moment, this crow was standing on Uchiha Shisui's shoulder, observing Bai Xuan from above.
And Bai Xuan was openly looking at the crow: "Shisui-senpai, does this crow have a name?!"
Listening to Bai Xuan's question, Uchiha Shisui paused slightly before replying directly, "As you can see, I raise nearly a thousand crows."
"With so many crows, I can't possibly name each one of them."
Hearing Uchiha Shisui's answer, Bai Xuan was not confused.
Bai Xuan asked this question just for the crow to hear.
So, after Uchiha Shisui finished answering, Bai Xuan seriously spoke to the crow: "Since you don't have a name, I'll give you one."
"Crows are messengers of the night, shadows of the sky, so you shall be called Shadow."
"Caw!" The crow cried out, seemingly in a good mood; it looked like it quite liked the name.
"It seems you're quite satisfied with this name."
"Shadow, I have the ability to evolve Summoning Beasts."
"As long as you are willing to become my Summoning Beast, and offer your loyalty and strength, I will bestow power upon you, allowing you to become an even Stronger, more perfect existence."
As he spoke, Bai Xuan extended his palm to Shadow, signaling Shadow to fly onto his hand.
Shadow seemed very tempted, looking at Bai Xuan's sincere eyes, seemingly pondering something.
But Uchiha Shisui, listening to Bai Xuan's words, couldn't help but change his gaze towards Bai Xuan.
This Bai Xuan actually possesses such an ability, this is truly astonishing!
However, such an ability should have some limitations.
Uchiha Shisui pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Swift Wind beside Bai Xuan.
When saying these words, Bai Xuan appeared very forthright.
To be honest, this world is truly amazing.
It possesses all sorts of abilities and secret techniques: space, life, soul, Shinigami…
As long as they don't understand the "system" concept, they won't have any strange thoughts about Bai Xuan's ability.
What's more, Bai Xuan needs evolution materials to evolve Summoning Beasts.
The act of collecting evolution materials cannot be hidden from those with intentions.
Coupled with the fact that the Ninja in this world possess extremely powerful Intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities.
Bai Xuan knew that his ability couldn't be kept secret for long.
So Bai Xuan didn't want to hide it at all.
Just as this thought flashed through Bai Xuan's mind, Shadow finally finished contemplating.
"Caw!"
After a cry, Shadow flapped its wings and landed directly on Bai Xuan's palm.
Although Bai Xuan's palm wasn't large, with Swift Wind's power blessing, Bai Xuan's strength was comparable to a Chunin, and even some special Jonin.
Supporting a crow was simply a piece of cake.
The moment Shadow landed on his palm, Bai Xuan revealed a slight smile.
"Shadow, please guide me more in the future."
"As for now, let's sign the Summoning Contract."
As he spoke, Bai Xuan took out a Summoning scroll that he had prepared earlier with his other hand.
After unrolling it, Bai Xuan immediately bit his finger, infused his blood and Chakra into the Summoning scroll, then placed the scroll in front of Shadow.
Without hesitation, Shadow opened its mouth and spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Summoning scroll, while simultaneously infusing Chakra.
The fluorescent light of Chakra flickered slightly on the Summoning scroll, and in the midst of it, Bai Xuan felt a strange connection with Shadow.
And in the next moment,
The mechanical voice sounded again,
[Ding!]
[Host has obtained Summoning Beast: Crow Shadow]
[Opening Summoning Beast attribute page]
[Opening...]
[Summoning Beast: Shadow]
[Species: Crow]
[Talents: Stealth, Chakra Suppression]
[Evolvable]
[Evolution Requirement: Crow Feather (100)]
[Ding!]
[Strength, Talents have been shared]
Just as this series of system prompts and Shadow's attribute page appeared in Bai Xuan's mind.
Shadow's strength and talents were directly bestowed upon Bai Xuan.
Although a crow's physical quality couldn't be very strong, the amount of Chakra was not small.
And the two talents, Stealth and Chakra Suppression, were quite useful to Bai Xuan.
Stealth represents being quiet and silent.
And the Chakra Suppression talent represents suppressing one's aura and hiding Chakra fluctuations.
In combat, it can be used for sneak attacks.
In daily life, it can be used to reduce one's presence and avoid a lot of trouble.
Of course.
What attracted Bai Xuan's attention the most was the evolution requirement column.
The evolution material Shadow needed was just one hundred Crow Feathers.
And at this moment, on the ground in front of Bai Xuan, there were many Crow Feathers.
Chapter 16: Evolution: Black-Feathered Crow
Even with Chakra, crows cannot help but shed feathers, just as Ninja also experience hair loss.
Nearly a thousand crows live here; if even a small portion of them shed feathers, there would be no shortage of fallen Crow Feathers on the ground.
So now, should Bai Xuan go pick up the Crow Feathers on the ground?!
Bai Xuan looked at Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Shisui watched Bai Xuan and Shadow sign the Summoning Contract, feeling the changes in Bai Xuan and Shadow's aura, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of shock.
Shadow was just a crow; even if it had Chakra in its body, it wouldn't possess overly powerful strength.
The two talents, Stealth and Chakra Suppression, were not particularly obvious talents either.
Therefore, the strength and talents of Shadow being bestowed upon Bai Xuan would not cause a significant change in Bai Xuan.
However, Bai Xuan's strength and talents being bestowed upon Shadow caused Shadow's aura to change dramatically.
Not only did the Chakra within its body surge instantly, but also its overall presence and the intensity in its eyes.
All of this indicated that Shadow had become stronger, and significantly so.
"Such a huge change occurred just by signing the Summoning Contract?!"
"Bai Xuan's Bloodline Limit is truly extraordinary."
"With this Bloodline Limit, as long as Bai Xuan doesn't die, he will definitely become a Strongest." Uchiha Shisui thought to himself, his pupils contracting.
"Caw! Caw!!" Shadow's cries were full of joy, excitement, and thrill.
Shadow truly hadn't expected to gain such immense strength, and even such Intelligence, simply by signing the Summoning Contract.
Such power, Chakra, and Intelligence... this is truly wonderful...
"My new master didn't lie to me!"
"It's truly wonderful to have met this new master!"
Shadow flapped its wings excitedly, flying directly to Bai Xuan's shoulder and standing steadily.
Gently rubbing against Bai Xuan, Shadow behaved very intimately and obediently.
"This is really good." Bai Xuan sighed in his heart.
After a slight pause, Bai Xuan turned his gaze to Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui-senpai."
