Naruto: I Can Synthesize Summoning Beasts

"This guy is definitely a Jonin!" Shangguan Mo thought, both shocked and pleasantly surprised. With a Jonin joining this operation, he felt a bit more confident about facing the Cult of Jashin. He knew that with the village's resources, the number of Jonin could be counted on one hand.

Inoshita Rino's expression also became solemn as he looked at the stern-faced middle-aged man and introduced him. "This is the principal of our Ninja Academy, Watanabe Mousse! Of course, it's just a nominal title. After all, this guy is a Jonin. The village needs him in too many places to let him be a figurehead."

Facing a Jonin, Shangguan Mo was a bit more reserved. He cupped his fist and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Jonin Watanabe."

"Mhm," Watanabe Mousse's stern face broke into a slight smile, and he nodded gently. "I've heard about you from Rino-sensei. The academy's genius, with the strength of a Genin before even graduating, and a contract with an amazing summoning beast. And it was you who obtained the key intelligence in Spring Grass City, allowing the village to stop the Jashinists' terrorist act in time. You probably don't know this yet, but even before becoming a ninja, you already have an A-rank mission on your record!"

Shangguan Mo was shocked and turned to look at his instructor. "Yes, it was the village leader's decision. I just helped you apply," he nodded with a smile.

Shangguan Mo nodded silently, feeling a sense of gratitude. He understood that his instructor was paving the way for him. The more A-rank missions on his record, the faster a ninja's promotion would be.

Before he could think more, Watanabe Mousse spoke again. "From now on, I am the captain of this squad. Our mission is simple, but very dangerous." He looked at everyone, his gaze lingering on Shangguan Mo and Li for a moment. Seeing their calm faces, he nodded with satisfaction. "Wherever the Cult of Jashin appears in the Land of Hot Water, we must be there. We must be the first to support our ninja squads when they encounter powerful enemies they cannot resist. I don't need to tell you how dangerous this operation will be. If anyone wants to back out now, I will allow it..."

His gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept over Shangguan Mo and Li. Li looked at him with determination. And Shangguan Mo expressed his thoughts with his actions. "Little Wind!" he shouted, his voice shaking the snow from the nearby treetops.

Swoosh! A fierce wind howled. As a chill ran through the group, they saw a massive hawk dive down from the sky. Watanabe Mousse's eyebrow shot up. Looking at the hawk with a wingspan of over twenty meters, his body instinctively tensed, reacting to the sense of danger. This summoning beast can threaten me!

The other four teachers' expressions also changed, looking at the rapidly approaching Windhawk with shock and suspicion.

BOOM! A black shadow blotted out the sky, then landed with a tremor. The accumulated snow on the ground flew into their faces, and they all shielded themselves with their hands. Shangguan Mo wiped the snow from his face and looked at the Windhawk irritably. "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see how deep the snow is!"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp! (Is that my fault?)"

Shangguan Mo's face darkened. He jumped onto the Windhawk's broad back and smacked its raised head. Smack! "I think you're getting out of hand!"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp! (Don't hit my head! There are people watching, give me some face!)"

Shangguan Mo couldn't help but laugh. A hawk that cared about its face. What a strange world... He then waved to the others below. "Everyone, get on!"

At his command, the Earth Beetle, Iron Hedgehog, and Self-Destructing Flies, who had been having fun burrowing with the Earth Dragon Beast, burst out of the ground. Looking at the scene, which resembled a lively zoo, Inoshita Rino and the others looked at each other, their faces twitching slightly, but they didn't waste any time. As skilled ninja, they leaped onto the Windhawk's broad back.

Only Li was left looking pitifully at Shangguan Mo. Even with the Windhawk lying down, it was still over four meters tall, a bit too high for her to jump.

Shangguan Mo slapped his forehead and quickly crouched down, extending his hand to her. "Come on!"

Li took a few running steps, leaped into the air, and grabbed his hand. She felt a strong pull, and her entire body was lifted into the air, landing on the Windhawk's back.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Captain Watanabe Mousse said grimly, "Shangguan Mo, have your summon maintain an altitude of about two hundred meters. At that distance, we'll be safe from ground-based ninjutsu while still having a clear view of the situation below."

"Alright!" He nodded and gave the command to the Windhawk.

BOOM! With a powerful beat of its wings, the people on its back momentarily lost their balance. By the time they had steadied themselves, they were already two hundred meters in the air.

"So fast!" Watanabe Mousse looked at Shangguan Mo with deep surprise.

What could he do? He could only give him a modest smile. He then looked down at the rapidly retreating scenery below and felt a tightness in his chest, making it a little hard to breathe. He knew it was due to the change in air pressure at high speed. He just needed to get used to it.

"This feeling..." The hawk's massive body was covered in a faint membrane of wind. He gradually stopped feeling the wind resistance and slowly stood up, an unstoppable excitement on his face. The world flew by beneath him. For the first time since coming to the ninja world, he felt a sense of freedom.

Half a day later, in the western part of the Land of Hot Water.

"There's a large-scale battle below. Shangguan Mo, we're going down!" Captain Watanabe's urgent voice came to his ear. He frowned and shouted, "Down!"

The Windhawk, which had been flying at high speed, immediately dipped its head and dove towards the ground. The next moment, it was a hundred meters from the ground and began to slow its descent.

"The battle is right ahead. I want to emphasize that the medical-nin should not be at the front. Protect your own lives first, then think about killing the enemy!" Watanabe said quickly, his voice clear even in the howling wind. He glanced at the calm-faced Li and continued, "Don't feel any shame. Medical-nin always operate from the rear of the battle. You have a delicate talent for chakra control and are a rare reserve medical ninja for the village. You must protect yourself!"

As the Windhawk slowed, the sound of the wind grew weaker, and his voice became more urgent. He quickly looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "I will charge in first to disrupt the enemy's formation. If there is a Jonin, I will engage them immediately!"

"Shangguan Mo!" he then shouted.

"Here!"

"You are the key to this special operations squad. The Windhawk relies on your command, so your safety cannot be compromised. Be careful not to advance rashly and get surrounded!"

"Yes, sir!" Shangguan Mo replied loudly, his expression equally serious. This was his first time receiving a pre-battle briefing from a Jonin, and he felt something ignite within him.

Nodding, Watanabe looked at the five academy teachers. "All of you, maintain formation and protect Shangguan Mo! His flying summon is crucial to whether we can continue this operation!"

"Yes, sir!" the five of them replied in unison.

Thump! The group felt a slight jolt. Ten seconds had passed. The Windhawk had landed.
