The Land of Sea is a small country compared to the Land of Water. It is composed of four large islands and many small islands, and Summoning Island is one of those small islands.

After Kitazawa and his group arrived at the southeastern coast of the Land of Fire, they took a ship to the Land of Sea.

But this time, the ship was provided by Gato’s shipping company and was a large vessel.

Tayuya, Tenten, Karin, and Choji were riding such a large ship for the first time, looking around curiously from the deck.

Kitazawa, meanwhile, was chatting with Gato not far away. More precisely, he was listening to Gato report on recent developments.

Overall, things were going very well. Neither the Land of Water nor Hidden Mist Village had discovered that Gato had been controlled by Konoha Village, so all business continued as usual.

Even Konoha Village’s Ocean Heart Jewelry Store and Gato’s shipping company were operating under the guise of doing business.

Currently, Gato’s shipping company handles transportation for the Land of Water and many islands, and has connections with various ports.

If Kitazawa ever wanted to make a move on the Land of Water and Hidden Mist Village in the future, this would undoubtedly provide many conveniences, giving him a head start.

As for now, making money was enough; other actions were not needed for the time being.

The night was spent on the ship, and by the next morning, Kitazawa and his group successfully arrived at the Land of Sea.

“Sleeping on a ship for the first time really takes some getting used to.” Kurenai yawned and said.

“It’s a bit shaky.” Tenten agreed.

“Not a bit, it’s too shaky.” Tayuya complained, “The sea is more unpleasant than I imagined.”

She hadn’t slept well last night either, waking up several times in the middle of the night.

“I think it’s alright.” Choji scratched his head and said.

“That island is Summoning Island.” Kitazawa glanced at the map, compared it to the surroundings, raised his hand, and said, “We’ll go directly from the sea.”

“Won’t we be discovered by the Ninja on it?” Kurenai immediately asked.

She remembered Kitazawa saying there were Ninja and researchers from the Land of Sea on the island.

“The Ninjas are all in the research base.” Kitazawa put away the map and said, “Let’s go.”

He stepped onto the sea first and then headed towards Summoning Island.

Kurenai, Tayuya, Akimichi Choji, Karin, and Tenten followed closely behind.

Soon, they were on the island.

“So many plants.” Tenten looked around, unable to help but exclaim.

She felt like they had arrived on a very primitive island, with all sorts of strange vegetation everywhere, and all of it very tall.

“Wait!” Kurenai suddenly said with a vigilant expression, “The ground is shaking, as if some large Summoning Beast is running towards us.”

Tayuya took out her bamboo flute, Tenten placed her hand on a summoning scroll, and Choji put away his potato chips.

All three entered battle-ready states. Only Karin hid by Kitazawa’s side.

She had no combat ability and didn’t want to affect their mission because of it.

“It’s a wild boar.” Kitazawa glanced at it and commented, “Although it’s huge, it’s not a Summoning Beast. Just drive it away.”

“I’ll do it!” Tayuya immediately blew into her bamboo flute. Chakra infused into the sound, spreading outwards.

The wild boar immediately stopped, falling into a genjutsu.

“Sound Genjutsu?” Kurenai was somewhat surprised by this.

She hadn’t been present during the encirclement of Orochimaru, so she didn’t know about Tayuya’s abilities.

“Sound Genjutsu seems very suitable for sneak attacks.”

Tenten then realized that one-on-one sparring on the Training Ground limited the effectiveness of Tayuya’s sound genjutsu.

After all, seeing her bamboo flute face-to-face would instinctively lead to precautions, but in the wild, it would be difficult to be prepared, thus falling into genjutsu.

Tayuya smiled triumphantly at this, even glancing at Kitazawa.

“One point for you.” Kitazawa didn’t pay attention to her childish behavior and said.

Tayuya paused, her lips unconsciously curving upwards, but she immediately stopped herself.

Only one point, not worth getting too excited about.

She wanted to enter the top five in the practical exam ranking through this mission, and then she would definitely surprise Kitazawa.

“Watch out for summoning beasts that might appear at any time.” Kitazawa reminded them and continued to walk forward.

The group walked through the primitive forest, occasionally encountering strangely shaped summoning beasts.

But these summoning beasts were all very weak, and neither Tayuya nor Tenten thought much of them.

“We’re here, wait for me here.” Kitazawa saw a research base built into the mountain from a distance.

“Aren’t we going in with you?” Kurenai asked upon hearing this.

“The situation inside is unknown. I’ll go in and check first.” Kitazawa’s idea was actually very simple.

Release that Ultimate Summoned Beast, let Tayuya and Tenten beat it up, and their mission would be complete.

As for his mission, it was to find that Uzumaki Clan member.

“Be careful.” Kurenai nodded and said nothing more.

Kitazawa silently approached the research base.

At the entrance, there were two ninjas. Judging by their attire, they were rogue Ninja, not belonging to any Ninja village.

Kitazawa thought for a moment, then used a Body Flicker Technique to appear directly in front of them.

“Wh—” The two Ninjas were knocked unconscious before they could even speak.

Kitazawa openly walked into the research base. He stood in the corridor and immediately activated his Byakugan.

The entire research base instantly came into view, with a total of thirty-six Ninjas and researchers.

Kitazawa quickly located Uzumaki Honoka.

There was no other way; the characteristics of the Uzumaki Clan were too obvious: red hair and vast Chakra, as conspicuous as the sun.

Kitazawa walked towards her room. Upon reaching the door, he raised his hand and knocked.

“Please come in.” Honoka’s voice rang out.

Kitazawa pushed open the door and entered.

Everywhere he looked were Sealing Technique formulas.

Kitazawa scanned them, vaguely feeling a sense of familiarity; there were Four Symbols Seal formulas among them, but not all of them.

After examining them, he understood what Uzumaki Honoka was trying to do.

She wanted to use the Ultimate Summoned Beast as a Tailed Beast and seal it within a Ninja’s body.

But it was clear that Honoka had not fully mastered the Uzumaki Clan’s Sealing Technique. This was also why the Ultimate Summoned Beast would go out of control in the original story.

“You… who are you?” Honoka was slightly startled when she saw the unfamiliar Kitazawa and asked.

She had met almost all the Ninja and researchers on this island, and Kitazawa was not among them. Moreover, with Kitazawa’s appearance, if she had met him, she would definitely have an impression.

“Are you a member of the Uzumaki Clan?” Kitazawa asked directly.

“I’m not!” Honoka’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly denied it.

“Then how do you understand the Four Symbols Seal?” Kitazawa raised his hand, pointed to a formula not far away, and asked.

“You… why do you know that’s a Four Symbols Seal formula?” Honoka’s heart trembled, and she asked in confusion.

“I am a Ninja from Konoha Village,” Kitazawa replied.

“No wonder.” Honoka’s face showed a look of realization.

After the destruction of the Uzumaki Clan, only the Ninja of Konoha Village would understand the Four Symbols Seal.

“Why would a Konoha Village Ninja appear here?” Honoka’s expression became serious and wary. “Are you here for the Ultimate Summoned Beast?”

“What kind of Ultimate Summoned Beast is that?” Kitazawa shook his head disdainfully and said, “I’m here to invite you to Konoha; you’ll only waste your talent here.”

“Me?” Honoka was astonished.

She really hadn’t expected Kitazawa’s goal to be her.

“Konoha Village has all the Uzumaki Clan Sealing Technique, which you can learn.” Kitazawa paused and said, “And there are also three other Uzumaki Clan members.”

“What?” Honoka’s face immediately showed surprise.

She had always believed she was the only surviving member of the Uzumaki Clan.

“If you don’t believe me, you can come out with me; there’s an Uzumaki Clan member outside.” Kitazawa raised his hand and pointed, saying.

Honoka immediately fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

The reason she was in this research base was because she was assigned here by the Land of Sea to perform sealing missions.

And her obedience to the Land of Sea’s orders was due to a kind of transaction or survival.

After the destruction of the Uzumaki Clan, she came to the Land of Sea, exchanging her Sealing Technique for rewards.

If Konoha Village had no ill will towards her, living in Konoha would certainly be much better than in the Land of Sea.

“I’ll meet that Uzumaki Clan member first.” Honoka hesitated repeatedly before speaking.

“I’ll have my Shadow Clone take you out.” Kitazawa nodded and said.

“What about you?” Honoka paused and asked, “Do you want that Ultimate Summoned Beast?”

“The experiment you’re doing won’t succeed; you’ll soon see that the Ultimate Summoned Beast goes out of control.” Kitazawa shook his head and said, “Such an Ultimate Summoned Beast has no value whatsoever.”

No Ninja would want a Summoning Beast that goes out of control and lacks intelligence.

“You… how do you know so much about it?” Honoka asked, puzzled.

She only knew there was an Ultimate Summoned Beast, but she had never seen what it actually looked like.

Sealing large creatures like Tailed Beasts often can’t be done with just one Sealing Technique; multiple Sealing Techniques are required.

These Sealing Techniques also cannot be combined randomly; they need to be applied in a specific order.

What Honoka was doing was preparing these Sealing Techniques in advance.

“Konoha Village’s power is beyond your imagination,” Kitazawa said with a slight smile. “Since I’ve come here, I naturally have to investigate the situation.”

“That’s true.” Honoka didn’t think much of it after hearing that.

She followed Kitazawa’s Shadow Clone and left the research base.

“Who is she?” Kurenai’s gaze fell on Honoka, and she asked curiously.

“Red hair?” Karin subconsciously sized up Uzumaki Honoka.

“Are you a member of the Uzumaki Clan?” Honoka noticed her and asked.

Although Tayuya also had red hair, the Chakra within Karin’s body was simply too dazzling in her perception. This was the immense Chakra that only the Uzumaki Clan could possess.

“I am.” Karin nodded, her eyes brightening, and asked, “Are you too?”

“My name is Uzumaki Honoka.” Honoka extended her hand, smiling, and said, “Nice to meet you.”

“There are still Ninjas from the Uzumaki Clan?” Kurenai asked, surprised, after hearing their conversation. “And on such a remote island?”

“Is there anything special about the Uzumaki Clan’s Ninja?” Tayuya asked, confused.

“The Uzumaki Clan used to be as famous as the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan.” Kurenai briefly explained the situation to her.

Tayuya subconsciously touched her red hair.

She also had red hair, but her Chakra was relatively normal. It was truly enviable.

If she had that much Chakra, she would definitely be like Naruto, slaughtering all in her path.

“Wait!” Tayuya discovered a blind spot. “Then is Naruto also from the Uzumaki Clan? But why does he have golden hair?”

“His mother was a Ninja of the Uzumaki Clan, so he only has half the bloodline,” Kitazawa replied.

“Who is his mother?” Honoka asked curiously.

“You might know her, Uzumaki Kushina.” Kitazawa thought for a moment and did not conceal it.

“It’s actually Lady Kushina?” Honoka immediately became a little excited.

She was a normal member of the Uzumaki Clan, while Uzumaki Kushina was the core of the core.

In the original story, she didn’t come to Konoha after the Uzumaki Clan was destroyed, but was brought to Konoha Village after being chosen.

To be chosen, she naturally couldn’t be an ordinary member of the Uzumaki Clan.

“Alright, get ready, there’s going to be a fierce battle soon.” Kitazawa reminded them, “This is also the objective of your mission.”

After he finished speaking, he transformed into a puff of smoke and disappeared on the spot.

The next second, the ground suddenly trembled, and screams rang out. Everyone subconsciously looked towards the research base not far away.

They saw a huge, grayish-white Summoning Beast burst through the laboratory and appear before their eyes.

It was like an enlarged insect, about nine or ten meters tall, with a tyrannical look in its eyes. All the researchers near it were swallowed up.

Honoka’s heart trembled. How could such a Summoning Beast be called ultimate?

Indeed, as Kitazawa said, the experiment had not been successful.

“You two stay here.” Kurenai immediately ordered, “Tayuya, Tenten, and Choji, you will follow me to stop this Summoning Beast.”

Summoning Technique!

Tayuya pressed her hand to the ground, and three Doki appeared. Under the control of her flute, they charged towards the Ultimate Summoned Beast.

“Roar!” The Ultimate Summoned Beast saw them and immediately felt provoked.

It aimed at the foremost Doki and violently swung its huge claw.

The Doki raised its large wooden club to block in front of it. But the terrifying force sent it flying backward along with the wooden club.

“What?” Tayuya didn’t expect her Doki to be so vulnerable, and she gritted her teeth.

The remaining two Doki crashed into it together.

With a bang! The collision of the three behemoths created gusts of fierce wind.

But the Ultimate Summoned Beast still had the upper hand, pushing the two Doki backward.

Multi-size Technique! Choji formed hand signs, and his body suddenly grew larger.

Human Bullet Tank! He rolled his body, retracting his head and limbs, transforming into a giant meatball that slammed into the enemy.

Another deafening roar exploded across the battlefield.

The Ultimate Summoned Beast was knocked backward by this impact, combined with the strength of the two Doki.

The ground cracked, and a large amount of rubble and dust splattered.

Tayuya breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately controlled the other Doki. It took the large wooden club and smashed it toward the Ultimate Summoned Beast’s head.

With a bang!

The Ultimate Summoned Beast extended its hand and grabbed the large wooden club. It threw it with force, sending the Doki flying again.

Seeing this, Choji clenched his fist and swung it out.

The Ultimate Summoned Beast met it head-on.

Terrifying power erupted. Choji dug his feet into the ground, but was still forced to slide backward, leaving deep marks on the ground.

Tenten opened a huge scroll and threw it out. A massive amount of Ninja tools fell like a rainstorm.

But the Ultimate Summoned Beast’s defense exceeded her expectations; her Ninja tools caused no substantial damage, instead enraging it.

“Roar!” The Ultimate Summoned Beast pushed away the two Doki, leaped up, and slammed down toward them.

“Damn it!” Tayuya felt the pressure upon seeing this.

She quickly controlled the Doki to rush back, but it was already too late.

Just then, Tenten bit her thumb and pressed it to the ground.

Tayuya subconsciously paused, thinking, “Isn’t your Summoning Beast a Ninja Hound? What’s the use of releasing it now?”

Suddenly, the sky darkened. Tayuya looked up and saw a gigantic figure like a castle.

The Chameleon Summon, Shiromari, descended from the sky, crashing down on the Ultimate Summoned Beast.

An unimaginable impact erupted, creating a storm, and waves of air spread out in all directions.

The Ultimate Summoned Beast let out a miserable shriek. Amidst the screams, there was also the sound of bones breaking.

“This… this is your Summoning Beast?” Tayuya was instantly dumbfounded.

“It’s called the Shiromari, and Kitazawa-sensei gave it to me,” Tenten replied.

“Then why didn’t you use it in the practical exam?” Tayuya asked, puzzled.

“The practical exam is a spar between classmates, there’s no need to use it.” Tenten shook her head and said.

Tayuya suddenly remembered something: she ranked tenth in the practical exam, and Tenten ranked eleventh.

But now that she saw this Chameleon Summon Shiromari, she understood that her tenth place was given to her by Tenten.

Tayuya was speechless at this thought. Why are there so many hidden talents in the Genius Class? No, why was this also given by Kitazawa?

“Now is not the time for idle chatter; don’t forget your mission.” Kitazawa appeared before them.

At this moment, a massive brawl was unfolding before his eyes. Three Doki, Akimichi Choji, and the Chameleon Summon Shiromari were battling the Ultimate Summoned Beast.

Tayuya and Tenten immediately stopped chatting and joined the battle.

But to say it was a battle—they were essentially just acting as commanders. In such a massive brawl, they could no longer directly participate.

“That’s enough, let’s try our Compound Ninjutsu: Hurricane Vortex Jutsu.” Kitazawa watched their battle, and after a few minutes, he spoke.

Wind Release: Rasengan! Kurenai’s eyes lit up, and she immediately extended her hand.

Water Release: Raging Torrent! Kitazawa followed closely.

In an instant, a ten-meter-diameter storm appeared before them. The storm spun and flew out, heading straight for the Ultimate Summoned Beast.

At this point, it was already in a semi-conscious state from the brutal beating by the three Doki, Choji, and the Chameleon Summon Shiromari.

With a bang! The storm crashed into its body, and the wind on the outer layer, like rotating blades, cut open its flesh.

Blood splattered, but was then evaporated by the high temperature inside the storm. The Ultimate Summoned Beast shrieked, its flesh mangled.

“The power is truly impressive.” Kurenai smiled with great satisfaction.

Lightning Release: Kirin!

Kitazawa made hand seals. In an instant, thunder roared in the sky, and a large amount of lightning gathered together, forming a giant Kirin.

The Kirin leaped down and smashed into it. The Ultimate Summoned Beast’s screams abruptly ceased.
