Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Gates the Earth Bear

At night, Uchiha Yoichi and Uzumaki Minami once again quietly left Konoha.

This time, if they summoned a difficult-to-tame exotic beast, Uchiha Yoichi would abandon the other two random summons, opting to summon the Magic Goat to add some 'veterans' to his farm.

Such randomness was too risky—a stroke of good luck was already quite fortunate.

With the same location and plan as before, Uchiha Yoichi prepared everything and loudly shouted from the cliff's edge

"Summoning from the Otherworld, come forth!"

With such embarrassing words, after Uchiha Yoichi finished chanting the summoning spell, a summoning array illuminated by purple light appeared, accompanied by a thick cloud of smoke.

Uchiha Yoichi quickly withdrew, and he soon heard the roar of a bear from the summoning array.

"A bear?"

There was none of the terrifying pressure from when King Ghidorah appeared last time, and since Uchiha Yoichi was hiding in a safe place, he opened the Superpower Roulette to check the summoned creature this time.

[Earth Bear (Growth Stage)]: Legend has it that this is the pet of the Earth Goddess, a natural child of the earth, able to rapidly recover energy while standing on the ground, with the ability to control its size. An adult Earth Bear can grow up to fifty meters tall.

It can freely manipulate gravity; an adult Earth Bear can control up to twenty times the gravity, and its innate ability is the Beast King Roar Bullet.

(This Earth Bear is only six hundred years old, and it will reach adulthood at a thousand years. At two thousand years, it has the chance to receive a blessing from the Earth Goddess. Feeding it nutrient-rich food can also help the Earth Bear grow quickly.)

(If you want to tame it, it's best to defeat it first.)

[Note: The summoned creature has been recorded and can be summoned repeatedly or re-summoned.]

"Earth Bear?"

When the smoke cleared, Uchiha Yoichi looked towards the direction of the summoning array, where a brown-black bear, standing over two meters tall with a patch of earth-colored fur on its abdomen, was appearing.

Though it's only in its growth stage, this Earth Bear also possesses considerable strength. Currently, its maximum size can expand to over twenty meters, barely able to release a single Beast King Roar Bullet and control gravity within tenfold.

If the Earth Bear could be tamed as a summoned beast, it would be quite advantageous. However, considering the strength of himself and the Earth Bear, Uchiha Yoichi wasn't very confident.

Yet this summoned exotic beast matched the limits of his abilities. To abandon it without trying was not something Uchiha Yoichi was willing to do.

There was only half an hour. If he couldn't tame this Earth Bear and make it sign a summoning contract, it would be sent away.

With his determination made, Uchiha Yoichi stepped out from his hiding place and approached the Earth Bear...

————————————

Half an hour later.

The cliff had collapsed nearly a hundred meters, with large bear paw pits everywhere, along with protruding stone pillars and scorched earth from intense flames.

Uchiha Yoichi lay helplessly on the ground, receiving treatment from Uzumaki Minami; calling it treatment was essentially just extending his arm for Uchiha Yoichi to bite on, to temporarily ease his injuries before heading to Konoha Hospital for further treatment.

After a while, Uchiha Yoichi's injuries had healed significantly, allowing him to sit up.

Uzumaki Minami asked with concern, "Lord, how are you feeling? Do you need to drink a bit more?"

Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "No need, I can check on the remaining injuries at the hospital tomorrow, though I might not even need to go."

Although it's only been a few days since sealing Godzilla within his body, Uchiha Yoichi seemed to have inherited Godzilla's recovery powers. After being treated with Uzumaki Minami's blood, resting overnight should suffice for his remaining injuries.

After getting up, Uchiha Yoichi walked towards the Earth Bear nearby; it had taken a lot of effort for him to subdue this Earth Bear.

Now, it wasn't much better than Uchiha Yoichi, with large burn patches on its body, fur singed in many places, numerous wounds, and several broken bones.

This was partly because the Earth Bear was unfamiliar with ninja combat, which allowed Uchiha Yoichi to evade several of its attacks with speed, ultimately even tricking its Beast King Roar Bullet.

Otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain, especially since the Earth Bear's ability to control gravity posed a substantial challenge to Uchiha Yoichi.

After approaching, Uchiha Yoichi squatted beside the Earth Bear and asked, "What's your name?"

Having just subdued the Earth Bear and signed a summoning contract, the Earth Bear had also emitted a light sphere, which entered Uchiha Yoichi's body, allowing him to communicate with the Earth Bear.

This Earth Bear was named Gates, and had just been sleeping in the Demon Beast Mountain Range before suddenly being brought here.

The light sphere used by Gates was a soul contract, enabling the master and servant to sense each other's location and communicate through their souls.

However, once Gates reached adulthood, it would be able to speak human language.

"Rest for a while before we head back. I'll find a Medical Ninja to treat your injuries. She's one of my people, and later Minami will teach you some knowledge about the Ninja World..."

"Roar..."

Gates roared with a face of grievance, having sustained quite severe injuries. Both man and bear were in an unsteady state; seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi inevitably took out a Magic Goat's leg for Gates to eat and restore some energy.

Subsequently, Gates lay back on the ground, using its innate ability to absorb the power of the earth and recover its strength.

A faint yellow glow soon enveloped Gates' body, prompting Uchiha Yoichi to sit nearby and wait for Gates to recover.

With nothing else to do, Uzumaki Minami curiously asked, "Lord Yoichi, is it already your summoned beast?"

"Yes, it's the Earth Bear named Gates, with intelligence similar to ours, but not very familiar with the Ninja World..."

Uchiha Yoichi said, "Minami, tell Gates more about the Ninja World when you return. Also, order more food in the future, at least seven hundred pounds of meat daily..."

Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Minami was shocked and exclaimed, "That much?"

Uchiha Yoichi helplessly said, "You saw Gates' size earlier—seven hundred pounds aren't much for it. Tomorrow, I'll give you ten million ryo, which can be used as Gates' food expenses for now."

Recalling Gates' twenty-meter size from earlier, it seemed like seven hundred pounds of meat really wasn't much for it.

After a while, Gates also finished absorbing the power of the earth. Though its wounds had not fully healed, it at least regained the energy to walk back, whereas Uchiha Yoichi couldn't carry him nor had the Chakra to summon him back.

The two and a bear slowly made their way back to Konoha, as the random summoning ability was set to disappear in two days, and Uchiha Yoichi didn't plan on conducting new summoning; having gained a Godzilla and an Earth Bear, his luck was fairly good!
