Hokage: Ryo's Path Chapter 120 - Kogin’s Summoning Contract

Chapter 120: Kogin’s

Summoning Contract

ts

Ryo stayed with the Akatsuki for three days, becoming very friendly with the trio over time.

During those days, Ryo kept reminding the Trio to be vigilant when dealing with Hanzo.

Spending time with them, Ryo felt that they were much nicer and more innocent than what

they had turned into in the Manga, so he just kept reminding them.

Over the course of those three days, the Akatsuki started taking action as well. To Ryo’s

surprise, their wasn’t really much difference in abilities between the Rain and the Aktsuki’s

regular Ninjas.

The Akatsuki was a secret organization that took action in the Dark; they never confronted

the Rain Village face to face. However, they kept interfering with the execution of their

a.s.sa.s.sination mission.

The Rain village’s economy relied mainly on the rewards from a.s.sa.s.sination missions, and

some of their secret Ninjutsu were very helpful with that.

With the Akatsuki’s interference, the mission completion rate of the Rain Ninjas plummeted,

and many employers started losing trust in the Rain Village.

Hanzo also was taking his own measures, but the Akatsuki were cautious, and were not

being fooled by his traps.

With that, Hanzo had to give up on the idea of going to the Lightning Country’s battlefield in

order to focus on dealing with the local Akatsuki.

Ryo’s task was successfully completed, and after bidding farewell to the Trio, he summoned

f.u.kasaku and asked him to take him into the Lightning Country’s battlefield via reverse

summoning

Ryo and f.u.kasaku had just appeared in Konoha’s Lightning Country camp, when a silver

falcon wrapped with lightning Chakra flew towards Ryo.

A falcon is really fast in the air, and the speed brought by the Lightning Chakra mode made

it more like a thunderbolt.

f.u.kasaku was startled by the falcon’s sudden appearance. Just as he was preparing to fight,

he saw it landing on Ryo’s shoulder.

“Hey! You’re really mean; not taking me along when you go out to play!” Kogin left the

Lightning Chakra mode and started complaining on Ryo’s shoulder.

“Sorry, sorry, this time I forgot to bring you along!” Ryo tried to make Kogin feel better.

f.u.kasaku was looking at Kogin with surprise, as it was the 1st time he saw a summoned

beast in the Lightning Chakra mode.

However, with careful observation, f.u.kasaku found that there was no summoning Blood

Covenant tied to Kogin. In other words, the bird was qualified to become a summoned beast,

but no one had any contract with her.

“Ryo Chan, why didn’t you make a summoning contract with this bird? Do you worry that

we at mount Myoboku won’t agree?” Asked f.u.kasaku.

“It’s not that f.u.kasaku sama. I found Kogin in the forest and brought her into the camp.

Upon inspection, I found that she had Chakra in her body, and that she was smarter than

usual. So I taught her talking and Ninjutsu with Kus.h.i.+na ne-san.” Ryo explained.

f.u.kasaku’s face showed his surprise. Finding such a smart bird in the forest, and training it

until they point making it fit to be a summoned beast, what kind of luck is this?

“Ryo Chan, you can make a summoning contract with young Kogin. With a summoning

contract, you could summon her at any time.”

“f.u.kasaku san, can she sign such a contract with several people?” Asked Ryo.

f.u.kasaku went and observed Kogin, and then summoned Gerotora in. He inspected some

worn scrolls that the latter gave him, and made Kogin spill a drop of blood upon one of

them.

Her blood slowly merged with scroll, and after its full integration, f.u.kasaku sighed for the

good fortune of Ryo.

“Ryo chan, this is an unused Summoning Contract Scroll from Mount Myoboku’s stocks. I

just made Kogin chan spill some of her blood on it. Now, just sign your name with your own

blood, and leave you finger prints on the seal just like before, and you’ll be able to use

[Summoning] to summon Kogin.” After that, f.u.kasaku handed the scroll to Ryo.

Ryo couldn’t wait to sign, then made Kogin fly into the distance.

After she went out of sight, Ryo used [Summoning] to bring her in, and the experiment was

a great success.

Kogin flew out of a small cloud of white smoke forming underneath his hand.

Ryo showed his grat.i.tude to f.u.kasaku, but the latter’s attention was focused on Kogin.

“Kogin Chan, now you’re one of the Summoned beasts. I hope you can expand you clan and

form a new race of summoned beasts as soon as possible.”

Kogin had no idea what f.u.kasaku was talking about, but from his serious face, she felt like

it was a serious matter, and she nodded in response.

f.u.kasaku was very satisfied with her att.i.tude, and returned to Mount Myoboku after saying

goodbye.

Ryo looked at the scroll and had a headache. Kogin became this smart and strong by

absorbing the Ryumyaku’s Chakra. Making a new race of Summoned Beasts, does it mean

that he now has to try to find a male gray magpie?

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and took the contract and wanted to find

Kus.h.i.+na.

If Ryo was like a parent to Kogin, Kus.h.i.+na was more like a nanny and teacher to her. She

taught her everything from counting to Ninjutsu. She was obviously really eligible to sign

this contract.

Ryo entered Sage Mode, and tried to locate Kus.h.i.+na, and he found her teaching Kotori

Uzumaki how to refine her Chakra.

Kotori was already 8 years old. Originally, s.h.i.+ns.h.i.+ro tried to make his daughter a civilian.

But her recent kidnapping rang the warning bell to him, and he decided to make her a Ninja.

As an Uzumaki, Kotori had all the high vitality and the immense Chakra that an Uzumaki

usually has.

Ryo felt that her body had as much Chakra as a regular Jonin, even though she was

obviously a beginner.

Seeing her have that much Chakra right off the bat, Ryo felt really jealous; he was still

struggling to increase his own Chakra stores.

“Ryo, you’re back? Did the mission go smoothly?” Kus.h.i.+na looked surprised to see Ryo

back so soon.

“Yes I’m back. We’ll talk about the mission later. First, I have a gift for you. Said Ryo as he

handed the contract to Kus.h.i.+na.

“What is this?” Kus.h.i.+na didn’t have a summoned beast, and never saw a Summoning

Contract, so she curiously asked.

“I know I know what it is!Ne-san, this is a summoning contract. With it, you can call Kogin

from far away to be at your side!” Ryo didn’t get time to talk, as Kogin went on and

answered.

“Kus.h.i.+na ne-san, you only need to sign with your blood and leave your finger prints, and

then you can use Summoning to summon Kogin whenever you want.”

Following Ryo’s instruction, Kus.h.i.+na signed the contract, and then summoned Kogin from

Ryo’s Shoulder to her side.

Kus.h.i.+na didn’t have much interest in summoned beasts. She had the Kyubi and she felt that

was enough for her. However, it’s different with Kogin.

Kogin was like a child that she had raised herself. The young falcon was very affectionate

for her teacher. Being able to sign a summoning contract with Kogin, Kus.h.i.+na was very

happy with this gift.
