Uchiha Izumi had an injured hand, but she didn't want to go back; she wanted to take advantage of the time to practice a little longer.
So, she bandaged her own wound, giving it a simple treatment.
"This should be fine. I'll treat it more carefully when I get back."
Uchiha Izumi wanted to try other Ninjutsu, so she went deeper into the training ground, where she discovered a huge canyon. Uchiha Izumi ran down into the canyon.
She held her waist and said, "An ordinary person's waist would have given out long ago from this, but a powerful Ninja's waist is perfectly fine climbing a wall. That's pretty impressive."
Uchiha Izumi chuckled, "I haven't summoned too many Summoning Beasts yet. Let's try it. For squids, I'd have to give them sake, so never mind. Definitely, let's try snakes. I wonder what kind of snakes my current Chakra can summon. Let me see, so I have an idea."
Uchiha Izumi thought for a moment, then set up Exploding Tags and charms around her.
After confirming that no one was around and the location was secluded enough, she began to prepare for the summoning.
"Let's use a bit more Chakra first."
"Hiss—whoosh!" Uchiha Izumi took a deep breath, then exhaled.
Uchiha Izumi glanced at her finger, hesitated for a moment, but still put her index finger in her mouth and bit her thumb.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch." Uchiha Izumi looked at her bleeding finger and immediately began to form hand signs.
"Swish, swish, swish…" Uchiha Izumi finished her hand signs and then shouted, "Summoning Technique!"
"Bang!" A stout, twenty-meter-long snake with eyes appeared in front of Uchiha Izumi.
"Huh? Where's my food? Where did it go? Hmm?" The giant snake looked at Uchiha Izumi in confusion, then asked, "Where is this? Did you summon me?"
Uchiha Izumi scratched her head and said awkwardly, "Ah, yes, I'm sorry to interrupt your meal. I just wanted to try the Summoning Technique."
The giant snake suddenly moved closer to Uchiha Izumi, startling her. Then he said to Uchiha Izumi, "Ah, so this is the Summoning Technique? This is my first time being summoned by a human. It feels quite interesting, but I heard that being summoned by humans is very dangerous and often goes wrong. Lord Kiba even had one of his eyes taken out by someone."
Uchiha Izumi immediately said, "Then I'm sorry, I won't summon you again in the future. It's too much trouble."
"How can that be!" The giant snake said, "My name is Kiba. I specialize in defense. If you're ever in danger, just call me, and I'll block attacks for you."
"Yes! Thank you!"
Kiba asked in confusion, "Don't you know those other snakes?"
Uchiha Izumi nodded, "That's right. I've only summoned Blue Ya and a few small snakes. As for the others, I haven't summoned them much because I was afraid of causing a commotion."
Kiba shouted at Uchiha Izumi, "You fellow! You only summon that little brat Blue Ya! Are you looking down on us snakes?"
Uchiha Izumi immediately covered her head and said nervously, "No, no, no, I grew up with Blue Ya, and he's very cute, so I haven't tried much else."
"Hmph," Kiba asked, "What's your name?"
"Uchiha Izumi." Uchiha Izumi immediately said, "My name is Uchiha Izumi, please guide me!"
"Hmm, hmm? Uchiha? Izumi?" Kiba looked at Uchiha Izumi, then said in surprise, "Uchiha, ah, no wonder. I was wondering how such a small girl could summon me. Good! Uchiha are indeed amazing, so I'll help you. You summon other snakes, and I'll introduce them to you. Otherwise, if you don't know them, you'll be at a disadvantage in battle."
"Thank you, Kiba!" Uchiha Izumi immediately summoned again. This time, a giant cobra appeared in front of Uchiha Izumi.
Kiba nodded, "Ah, him. He's Kiba, a cobra skilled in poison, and quite cruel, but I'm not afraid of him, hahaha."
Kiba flicked his tongue and said to Uchiha Izumi, "What are you talking about? As soon as I was summoned, I heard you belittling me and praising yourself. Hello, my name is Kiba. I specialize in poison and poisonous mist, Water Release and Wind Release. Just call me if you need anything."
Uchiha Izumi smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll call you if I need anything!"
"Hmm." Kiba looked at Kiba, snorted coldly, and disappeared.
Kiba said to Uchiha Izumi, "Don't mind him, he's very arrogant."
"Summon the next one."
"Oh!" Uchiha Izumi immediately used a large amount of Chakra, and a beautiful five-meter-long silver snake appeared in front of Uchiha Izumi.
Kiba exclaimed in shock, "Hmm? You can actually summon her? Amazing, her name is Luo Snake, she's my senior, very powerful."
Luo Snake looked at Uchiha Izumi, then asked in a melodious female voice, "Ah, a new summoner. It's quite good that someone so young can summon me. As he said, I'm quite old. I specialize in concealment, Genjutsu, perception, healing, and medicinal research."
Uchiha Izumi saw that she was easy to talk to, so she asked, "Thank you, elder sister. My name is Uchiha Izumi, please guide me!"
Luo Snake also said in surprise, "Oh? Uchiha, ah, no wonder. And you call me elder sister, hmm, and you're very good at talking. What are you doing?"
Uchiha Izumi said, "Kiba is helping me introduce Summoning Beasts to get to know them."
"Oh, I see."
Luo Snake suddenly looked at Uchiha Izumi's injured hand. Luo Snake's snake tongue suddenly elongated, then bit Uchiha Izumi's hand.
"Ah!" Uchiha Izumi was startled, but the other party was too fast, she didn't react in time, and her hand was already bitten.
"Ah! Huh?" Uchiha Izumi found that her hand was gradually healing.
"Huh? So amazing!"
Luo Snake retracted her snake tongue and then said, "Your blood is very delicious, but also a bit strange. What is this taste? Is it some kind of bloodline illness? Never mind, I'll research it. I've healed your hand, you just need to rest."
"Huh? Oh, thank you! I was just thinking of going back to treat it, this saves me the trouble."
Uchiha Izumi looked at her hand, which had already recovered. It was almost completely healed, but still a little sore. It seemed that resting would make it completely fine.
Luo Snake said, "To have such Chakra at such a young age, that's good. Oh, right. I hate fighting, try not to call me during battles. Healing you is fine, keep up the good work! See you next time."
"Bang!" She also disappeared.
Kiba immediately said, "Amazing, I didn't expect you could actually summon her. This is my first time seeing it!"
Uchiha Izumi asked, "She's very powerful, right? She even healed my hand."
Kiba nodded, "That's right, her knowledge is very profound, and her Sage Art is also very powerful!"
Uchiha Izumi immediately became interested: "Sage Art? Is it the legendary Sage Art? May I also learn it?"
Kiba said, "Of course you can, anyone can learn it, but the trial is very troublesome, so you'd best be stronger before you go to learn it."
"Oh, I see, then I'll have to get stronger before I go to learn it."
Kiba smiled and said, "The fact that you can summon Blue means your future is limitless!"
