Chapter 115: The Might of the Tailed Beast

The Nekomata's Journey is an excellent conversationalist. She is not only knowledgeable but also almost always ready to answer any question. Her gentle nature even made Ling wonder at one point if the fierce Tailed Beasts in the stories told by his clan school teachers when he was a child really existed.

However, this doubt only lasted until the next day.

When The Nekomata's Journey heard that Ling planned to return to his clan to make a summoning Scroll and then sign a summoning contract, for some reason, she showed extreme anger and even a hint of loneliness.

In her own words, those things were developed to compensate for the lack of skills of the parties involved. Really powerful people don't need them at all - and the binding force of such a contract is practically non-existent.

Then she slapped with her Cat Claw, sighed about the loss of the ninja heritage, and told Ling to release the seal on her body. She would teach Ling how to sign a real summoning contract.

Ling thought that as a being that had lived from ancient times to the present, the Tailed Beast in its original state should be extremely imposing. He definitely couldn't release the seal on The Nekomata's Journey right in the city.

So he asked in detail how to sign a summoning contract without a ready-made contract book. Then, while petting the little Nekomata, he carefully identified the seal on The Nekomata's Journey.

After everything was explained clearly, Ling finally settled down with the little Nekomata he had managed to get. Early the next morning, he summoned Sanshu through summoning jutsu. Then, led by Sanshu, he returned to Thunder Gorge. He found a secluded place and forcefully broke through the seal left by the Uzumaki clan on The Nekomata's Journey with his chakra.

Although he had mentally prepared himself, at the moment when the seal shattered, Ling was still overwhelmed by the chakra filled with boundless Malice, almost suffocating. The color instantly drained from his face. If it weren't for the staff sword supporting his body, he would have almost knelt on the ground.

It could even be said that since he learned sensory ninjutsu, Ling had never felt such a sense of crisis as he did today.

If the person using sensory ninjutsu is a water ball, then the person being sensed is a pebble thrown into the water ball, causing only a few ripples when passing through.

However, the chakra feedback from The Nekomata's Journey is like a Meteorite - and it is blazing.

What would happen when a water ball meets a blazing Meteorite?

Those with good luck might leave some water vapor behind. Those with bad luck... would naturally vanish into thin air.

To put it more intuitively, you might use your finger to pick your nose, but you would definitely not accept someone shoving an entire watermelon into your nose.

It's too big and will break.

This is exactly Ling's situation now. The chakra filled with boundless Malice forcefully disperses the chakra he uses for sensing. Without hesitation, it invades his body along the path of his released chakra, leaving his mind in a blank state. He even temporarily loses control of his body.

It was as if, in the pitch - black, someone had firmly grabbed his throat from behind. Before he could even struggle, an unknown being dragged him into the deep sea. No matter how terrified and uneasy he was, he couldn't resist, nor did he know how to.

"Hey, kid, are you okay?" The Nekomata's Journey carefully leaned down to look at the figure that was far too small for it. "Can you still move?"

Feeling the scorching breath hitting his face, Ling stiffly nodded. His face still showed no sign of color, and his voice was hoarse. "Yeah... I'm fine. I was just a little scared. Sorry, let me catch my breath."

"Humph~" The Nekomata's Journey circled around. Its body, as big as a hill, gracefully and slowly lay down. Its head tilted slightly towards Ling, and its tail naturally reached behind Ling. "Lean on it and rest if you're not feeling well."

Ling stood there for a while longer, then let out a long sigh and took a step back. He collapsed into the fluffy fur, his voice still hoarse. "...Thanks."

"I forgot to remind you to converge your perception. You don't have to thank me," The Nekomata's Journey's voice was still full of tenderness even when magnified a hundred times. "But it's really amazing. You didn't show any hostility towards the outside world even in that situation. Are you some kind of reincarnated sage?"

Even though his senses and intuition were still frantically warning him, the fluffy, soft fur of The Nekomata's Journey, which still carried the scent of the sun, greatly soothed Ling's tense nerves. He tried to move his stiff limbs, but it took him five or six attempts to barely manage a single grasp. After letting out another long sigh, Ling's voice was no longer as tense as before. "I just don't think it's necessary deep down."

"Why?"

"Well... how should I put it?" Ling kept repeating the action of clenching and unclenching his palm. "Showing hostility towards those stronger than me is just making enemies out of thin air and might even speed up my own death.

And it's even more unnecessary to be hostile towards those weaker than me. They're already doomed to be under my blade the moment they declare hostility. Why should I waste my energy being hostile towards those who are bound to die?"

"Humph~ What an arrogant statement... But I don't dislike it."

"What about Sanshu?" Ling propped himself up slightly. "I can't use chakra right now. How is he?"

"That crow had to cancel the Summoning Technique when you got scared. He should be panicking at the place where he was summoned," The Nekomata's Journey waved its other tail. "By the way, do you still have no intention of quitting even in this situation?

The summoning contract I'm going to teach you has a stronger binding force than the one using a contract book. It just ties the two parties more closely and prohibits both sides from deliberately harming each other.

I decided to sign a contract with you just because you're interesting. I have no intention of fighting for you and might not even respond to your summoning.

Ling stood up again, moving his limbs. Although his face was still pale, his voice had returned to normal. The corners of his mouth even curved into the usual gentle arc. "Well, if that's the case, I actually want to get the Two - Tailed Beast The Nekomata's Journey even more."

"Humph~ How come you say that?"

"If I have to say...," Ling reached out to touch the soft fur, and the smile on his lips deepened. "Maybe it's because I'm an Uchiha who behaves without any taboos and has a rebellious personality?"

The real form of the Two - Tailed Beast The Nekomata's Journey shows that the cat really fights fiercely.

The real volume comparison between Tailed Beasts and humans is clearly shown by this - this is Isobu.
