My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 114: The Summoning Jutsu from Three Years Ago

If all the characters in the world of 2D animation were to be classified as pure deities, Kikyo would definitely be among them. In the shaping of her image, she is almost flawless.

Uchiha Itachi soothed the frightened crow, "I didn't feel that the female ninja was particularly strong..."

"Caw..."

That's precisely what makes Kikyo so formidable!

Kitahara shook its head forcefully. In Kikyo's world, there was a handsome, ruthless great wolf demon. The great wolf demon had a foolish dog younger brother who often barked at people but had no intimidating presence.

This classic story convincingly proves a great truth...

A biting dog doesn't bark.

When Uchiha Itachi and Kitahara returned to the camp, the crowd of onlookers had already dispersed, leaving only Jiraiya and Tsunade discussing Kikyo's matter.

The time Tsunade had known Kikyo was not long. To put it another way, the time Kikyo had been awake was very short; she had only fully awakened a month ago.

Because the soul power within her body was insufficient to support her actions, it wasn't until more than a month ago, when Orochimaru reanimated a powerful ninja, that Kikyo's accompanying Soul Collector insects absorbed the deceased's soul power, allowing Kikyo to be resurrected.

The first thing she did upon waking was to purify the snake demon that desecrated the dead... The snake demon Kikyo spoke of was naturally Orochimaru, whose nature she had seen through at a glance.

According to Kikyo's description, three years ago, she was summoned to this world by an unknown demon. Someone then gave her clay body to Orochimaru. And Orochimaru, perhaps having too many experimental materials, had forgotten her in some corner.

After three years of recuperation, Kikyo finally regained a trace of consciousness. She could clearly sense the existence of the demon or ninja who had summoned her; they were very close at that time.

When mentioning this matter, the lady of the Warring States shrine maiden still had some lingering fear, "It was more powerful than any demon I had ever seen. I was just searching for its location when I was struck by its spiritual counterattack and had to fall back into slumber to recuperate..."

And during her slumber, Orochimaru seemed to have remembered her and sealed her away... What a great way to court death!

The famous biologist of the ninja world didn't know that this very interesting clay body would become his nightmare. He continued to study Edo Tensei and the Living Corpse Reincarnation with great interest.

As a result, every time Orochimaru reanimated a ninja, Kikyo's Soul Collector insects could steal a thread of soul power...

"That demon named Orochimaru once again reanimated a deceased person. The Soul Collectors helped me absorb the soul power to heal my injuries, and only then was I able to fully recover. Later, I learned the Summoning Jutsu from Miss Tsunade, and I tried to find that demon again..."

"Tsunade? Miss?" Jiraiya looked at the blonde ponytail with a strange expression. Under Tsunade's furious gaze, he clutched his stomach, "Hahahaha..."

"Shut up and listen seriously!" Tsunade knocked Jiraiya down with one punch, her brow furrowed tightly, "Kikyo, you continue..."

The woman in the kimono was stunned for a moment, her face blushing slightly, "This time, perhaps because of the summoning contract on me, it was unable to counterattack with spiritual power... But it didn't appear."

"Hmm... is that so?" Jiraiya thought for a moment and quickly figured out the key trick, "The Summoning Jutsu can communicate with other worlds based on a ninja's chakra. But to be able to communicate with a world like Kikyo's and summon someone as powerful as her, both the chakra amount and chakra strength must be astonishing!"

"Nonsense!"

Jiraiya stroked his chin, then looked up and said seriously, "I suspect the summoning contract Kikyo signed might belong to a summoned beast. So, how about trying to learn the Reverse Summoning Jutsu?"

Why are there always so many troublesome things?

But since it concerned Orochimaru and the mastermind who summoned Kikyo, Jiraiya certainly couldn't stay out of it... And based on the timeline, the one who summoned Kikyo was very likely lurking in Konoha.

Three years ago, there were too many people in Konoha who could have summoned Kikyo. After ruling out Orochimaru, there were two other biggest suspects, their Konoha's other two rogue ninjas.

Reverse Summoning Jutsu, its effect was the exact opposite of the Summoning Jutsu. As a summoned beast, one could use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon the contracted human.

Kikyo's spiritual power could also communicate with chakra. She had quite a talent for learning ninjutsu. After carefully watching the hand seals and understanding the chakra circulation path, she immediately wanted to give it a try.

Jiraiya quickly stopped her and found an open space nearby to set up a sealing barrier. He was very worried about encountering enemies... But the guest from afar once again broadened Jiraiya's horizons.

"Soul Barrier!"

A bright, spherical barrier enveloped Kikyo's entire body. The shrine maiden played with her long hair, tying it up behind her head, "I don't know what kind of relationship your summoning contracts have. I can only temporarily set up this soul barrier to prevent the summoned demon from controlling me first..."

Jiraiya tried to save face for the ninja world's masses, "The contracts we form with summoned beasts are not that overbearing..."

"But I am a deceased person..." A lost look appeared in Kikyo's eyes, then instantly became firm, "Based on what I witnessed with my own eyes, that snake demon named Orochimaru also once used some kind of contractual relationship to control the dead."

Just like the fate from many years ago, no matter what positive image Jiraiya wanted to build, Orochimaru would personally help him shatter it...

Kikyo formed the hand seals, her posture very graceful. Even when she finally bent down to slap the ground, it was like a dance, her waist bending...

Her fair palm slammed onto the ground, and a clear, crisp shout was heard, "Ninja Art: Reverse Summoning Jutsu!"

A wild wind danced!

The ninjutsu formula flashed and then disappeared. The ground was empty, with nothing at all...

Tsunade, on the side, propped up her chin, "Looks like it failed again?"

"No, it succeeded."

Kikyo slowly turned around, her gaze fixed tightly on the young ninja not far away... or rather, the crow on his shoulder.

Uchiha Itachi and Kitahara were still looking over here timidly...

The moment Kikyo performed the jutsu, Kitahara sensed that prying malice from the past few days...

Looks like things have gotten a bit complicated!

However, when the shrine maiden's bright eyes looked towards it, Kitahara's heart beat uncharacteristically fast. It wasn't its doing, was it? Three years ago, it should have just arrived in the ninja world and hadn't activated any ninjutsu...

Uchiha Itachi's expression also wasn't very good. He looked at the crow and said in a low voice, "Kitahara, I remember... the first ninjutsu you taught me three years ago... was the Summoning Jutsu..."

That was also the first ninjutsu he had learned.

A ninjutsu forgotten by both of them.

Because of the crow's existence, Uchiha Itachi had no summoned beast at all.

Kitahara: "..."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Kitahara remembered its first day in the ninja world, meeting Uchiha Itachi, and activating the Summoning Jutsu from the words of the then-little-boy Itachi, while also being criticized by many for the problem of forming hand seals with its wings.

Perhaps because Kikyo's world was too far away, or because something went wrong in the middle, Kikyo's clay body only appeared after they left. Given Kitahara's chakra amount, supporting a clay doll to stay in the ninja world for three years seemed to be no problem...

Later, Kikyo was discovered by Orochimaru's subordinates.

At a time when he was researching the Living Corpse Reincarnation and Edo Tensei, a perfect clay body with a trace of a soul naturally aroused Orochimaru's interest, and he sealed Kikyo in the Konoha Biological Laboratory.

After defecting, Orochimaru probably didn't have time to take her with him.

During the New Year, Orochimaru snuck into Konoha and stole the Hashirama cells from the biological laboratory, incidentally taking the remains of many people. He didn't spare Kikyo's clay body either.

Coincidentally, the day before he stole Kikyo, Kikyo's soul had awakened and caught a glimpse of Kitahara's trail, then was injured by Kitahara's powerful spiritual power and fell into a slumber. Orochimaru didn't notice any signs of her awakening and took her away with peace of mind.

A month ago, Kikyo absorbed the soul power of a powerful individual reanimated by Orochimaru and revived. While traveling, she met Tsunade in the Hidden Hot Water Village... and used the Summoning Jutsu to track her contractor.

No wonder it couldn't sleep that afternoon... So how persistent is Kikyo, how many times did she use the Summoning Jutsu!

"Indeed... it is a great demon..."

With the shrine maiden's soft murmur, a ray of light streaked across the sky like a meteor!

Arrow of Demon-Sealing!

"Caw!"

Crack...

The moment the arrow shaft hit the crow's body, it shattered inch by inch...

Under the astonished gazes of Kikyo and the others, the crow casually flapped its wings.

Kitahara: "..."

How do I cancel the summoning jutsu? Waiting online! Very urgent!
