The next day, everyone left.
On the way, Izumi asked, "Teacher, how did you get to know this Ninja?"
Sarutobi Muraki said, "In the past, this kid was a Ninja from a small Village. This Village was very weak, and later it was destroyed by Konoha."
Sarutobi Muraki stroked his big beard and said, "However, I heard that this Village used to be quite strong. In the past, they even had a special medicinal wine and a specialized dietary formula that could enhance strength and treat diseases. But I heard that a rebellion occurred in the past, causing the formula to be lost, which is quite a pity. After that, their Village declined from generation to generation until it was destroyed by us."
"Oh." Izumi thought excitedly, "So that's it. Those things were hidden before the rebellion, but for some reason, they weren't found, and the inheritance was cut off. Now, it has benefited me, hehehe."
All the way, Izumi felt her feet float as she traveled.
After returning home, Izumi ate dinner with her mother and immediately ran into her room to rest.
Inside the room, she took out the weapons. One of the swords made Izumi swallow.
She slowly drew the sword from its sheath, and her eyes seemed to light up.
"Wow!" This sword is truly excellent.
Izumi used it to cut a wooden stake she had set up, and the stake immediately broke into two pieces.
"Wow, a treasure sword that can cut through iron like mud." Izumi immediately took out the fine wines. There were also specialized scrolls with these formulas.
Izumi opened a pot of wine, and immediately, the aroma of wine filled the room.
She took a small sip and immediately felt a fiery warmth throughout her body, extremely comfortable.
"Hmm, it's so spicy, but after the spiciness, the wine is so warm, ah, it's so comfortable." Izumi drank a little more, then immediately put it away and checked the last scroll.
"So many Ninjutsu! The precious Ninjutsu of a Village! This is amazing!"
Izumi immediately began to flip through it.
"Hmm? Besides Release Ninjutsu, there's also Sealing Technique! This is great."
"What is this?"
After Izumi unsealed a compartment of the scroll, she found a huge scroll.
When she opened it, she found that it was a series of names.
"This, this is a Summoning Scroll?" Izumi froze in place. Then she was ecstatic.
"Hahaha, this is great! What kind of Summoning Beast is this?" Izumi immediately bit her finger and wrote her name on it.
Izumi immediately tried the Summoning Technique to see what kind of Summoning Beast it was.
"Bang!"
Izumi's figure disappeared.
At this moment, Izumi suddenly appeared in a body of water.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..." Izumi hadn't even realized what was happening before she fell into the water.
She immediately swam up and discovered it was a vast ocean, but what was different was that the water in this sea area was black.
"Huh? What's going on? It's not poisonous, is it?"
Izumi looked at the surrounding black water with uncertainty, then stepped on the water, slowly walking onto the surface.
"Ah, this is troublesome. How do I get back?" Izumi looked at her soaked clothes. She gathered the hair stuck to her neck and squeezed the water out.
"Long hair getting wet is really inconvenient." Just as Izumi was tidying her hair, a huge black shadow suddenly swam past beneath the sea.
"Hmm?" Izumi immediately became alert.
Under the calm blue-black sea surface, a huge black shadow occasionally swam by. Just as Izumi was wondering, a giant creature burst out of the sea, looking down at Izumi.
"Hmm? This is, a squid?" As Izumi pondered, one squid after another, of varying sizes, surfaced, tightly surrounding her.
Izumi took a defensive stance, wary of the surrounding squids.
At this moment, the giant squid spoke: "It's been a long time since I've seen a human come. I thought someone had signed a contract, but it turns out to be just a little brat."
"Indeed, how many years ago was the last time?"
Izumi touched her head and asked, "Ah, you can talk?"
The squid said, "Nonsense. You must have signed your name, otherwise you wouldn't have been summoned here by us."
"Oh." Izumi suddenly realized that the Summoning Scroll she signed was for squids.
Izumi asked, "Are you Summoning Beasts? Can you form a contract with me?"
The giant squid hesitated for a moment, then asked, "We summoned you proactively to make things clear. I hope, as in the past, to give you ink."
"Huh?" Izumi asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"
The squid said, "In the past, the Ninjas of Sake Ninja Village all used our ink to brew sake."
Izumi now knew what that sake was made of. "Oh, oh—I understand. But that doesn't matter to me."
The squid asked in confusion, "Aren't you a Ninja from Sake Ninja Village?"
Izumi shook her head and said, "This Village seems to have disappeared a long time ago, and even the brewing method was lost. I found the scroll by accident."
"Is that so? It's gone, no wonder we haven't been summoned for so long." The squid sighed and said, "Alright, then I'll set the rules with you. If you brew sake, you must give me half. This is the contract we signed with previous summoners. If you want us to fight for you, you must also do this."
Izumi asked, "What if I don't brew sake?"
The squid said, "Then you'll need to prepare the brewing ingredients. We'll brew the sake ourselves. I haven't had sake in a long time."
"No problem!"
Izumi suddenly asked, "Um, do you have any Ninjutsu like Sage Art?"
The squid nodded and said, "Of course."
Izumi immediately asked excitedly, "Then can you teach me? I want to learn Sage Art too!"
The squid shook its head and said, "No, our reserves are less than other types. We have never researched Sage Art suitable for humans to learn, and I can sense a lot of natural energy from you. You don't need to learn from us."
"Ah, I see."
Seeing Izumi's disappointed expression, the squid sighed and said, "Alright, although I can't teach you Sage Art, I can teach you Ninjutsu, the Ninjutsu of our Ink Sea!"
"Thank you!" Izumi immediately became interested.
The squid said, "I'll teach you a few moves.
Ink Squid Technique, a Ninjutsu that allows you to spit out poisonous ink. It can not only be used for escape but also to obstruct the enemy's vision, and our perception is greatly enhanced within the ink. Most importantly, you can also adjust the properties of the ink, for example, adding oily substances can help combustion, and adding toxins can cause poisoning, etc.
Ink Dispersion Technique, spitting ink into the water. The ink dissolves in the water, allowing you to perceive distant objects.
Squid Hand, allows you to transform your hand into a squid-like claw, with absolutely strong suction, softness, and elasticity.
Light Concealment Technique, allows you to adjust colors for invisibility.
Squid Water Dance Technique, allows for super-fast swimming in water.
Water Release: Ink Water Gun, a water gun mixed with ink, with great penetrative power. The ink can have added toxins and other characteristics.
Water Release: Squid Water Prison Bite Technique. It traps the enemy in a water sphere, which forms a water squid that continuously devours this water sphere. The water sphere gets smaller and smaller, and the water squid gets bigger and bigger, eventually consuming all enemies inside the water sphere. Then, ink is generated inside the water squid, causing an explosion.
"Thank you, thank you for teaching me so many Ninjutsu. May I ask your name?"
The squid said, "My name is Mokugyodo. You must remember, although I've taught you a few Ninjutsu, Ink Squid Technique is the most important. How to use ink in combat is key. I specialize in Water Release and perception, understood?"
"Yes! My name is Uchiha Izumi. Please guide me."
"Hmm, Uchiha, I don't know much about it, but I know it's a prominent surname. Uchiha Izumi, you can also summon these companions of mine. Among them, some are skilled in poisons, some in speed, some in defense, and so on."
"Thank you for the introduction, this is amazing!"
Izumi looked at these squids of varying sizes and couldn't help but get excited.
