Poof!
As a large amount of white smoke emerged in the forest, everyone felt goosebumps, no one could figure out why or how, but everyone’s nerves tightened as if feeling an instinctual fear.
As the smoke dispersed, the view became clear, however, darkness and shadow still remained. The smart ones quickly figured out that something was blocking the light and looked up. As they did, they saw a humongous eye looking at them.
Some children were scared and asked while pointing at that thing with shaky hands, “What… what is that?”
“It… it looks like a snake…” another child replied.
“For a snake… it’s… it’s really big!”
The size of the snake was so big that just by lifting one-third of its body it was already towering over all of them and covering the sky.
“It’s a summoned snake… however, it’s not an ordinary snake… it’s probably one of the biggest snakes in the world!” Asuma muttered, looking at the giant snake in a cold sweat.
“It’s not just one of the biggest, it’s also one of the most dangerous ones out there…!” muttered Anko as she gulped nervously. She could sense the bloody aura of the giant snake, and it even shook her, someone who was quite used to interacting with snakes!
Anko could tell that this Summoned Snake is probably as strong as Orochimaru’s Manda! And Manda is not someone even Shinobi as strong as Jonin would want to mess around with. The same goes with the red snake, it is not something they can easily deal with!
“But… how did it get here?” muttered Genma and soon something caught his attention.
Not only Genma, but the others noticed it as well, it was the presence of Uzumaki Naruto on top of the giant snake’s head. Naruto stood there proudly, with his hands folded over his chest and looking at all the people with a smirk on his face.
After noticing Naruto on top of the Giant snake’s head, Asuma looked at Kurenai beside him, and asked with a stutter, “Kurenai… is this… is this a Genjutsu or something? Or did that kid Naruto really summon this giant snake?”
Asuma had long lost all his calmness, this entire situation before him seemed too absurd and weird to him. Asuma couldn’t understand how someone like Naruto managed to get in contact with such a creature and even if he did, how could he manage to make a summoning contract with such a creature?
“If… if it’s a Genjutsu, then we are all victims to it!” said Kurenai with a nervous chuckle, looking at the terrifying face of the red giant snake. Even at the time, she was kidnapped by Orochimaru, she didn’t see Orochimaru calling out something so big… in fact, this is the first time she has seen such a giant summon.
Not only the five of them but even the trainees were taken aback. Shion looked at the Giant Snake and murmured while rubbing her eyes, “Is this a dream?” Shion wasn’t really as scared or nervous of the giant Snake as others because she knew the horror of Mōryō the demon. Compared to the demon, the Snake didn’t seem so scary to her.
Sai looked at the Giant Snake in admiration. “It’s so big… this is the first time I have seen such a giant Summon!” he wanted to draw a sketch of the Giant Snake, and couldn’t help but think, ‘I wonder if Naruto-kun will allow me to make a sketch of this Snake.’
Different from Shion and Sai, Sasuke seemed numb, especially after noticing Naruto standing on top of the Giant Snake. Seeing Naruto, Sasuke felt that he couldn’t recognize Naruto at all, he looked so unfamiliar and unreal.
All the children had their own thoughts, perhaps the only one who looked afraid was Neji. With his Byakugan, he could see the enormous chakra of the Giant Snake and that amount of reserves scared him. Moreover, other than Chakra, Neji could feel a different type of energy that wasn’t Chakra inside the Giant Snake as well.
He couldn’t quite put it in his words, however, he felt that that energy was too dangerous!
…
Viewing Area – Outside the Forest of Death – Konoha Village
The appearance of the Giant Snake caused a sensation, and the entire viewing area became noisy. The sudden change was beyond anyone’s expectations.
The Uchiha Matriarch was taken aback, “What’s going on? How could such a summon appear in Konoha?”
“It seems to have been summoned by Minato’s son.” Muttered Fugaku with a deep frown on his face.
Truth be told, Fugaku was really shocked. Even as the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku has never had the opportunity to come in contact with such a top-tier Summon Animal, he couldn’t understand how Naruto signed a Summon contract with such a Snake.
After a while of thinking, he couldn’t help but think, ‘I don’t think it can be found anywhere other than the Ryūchi Cave… was it because of Orochimaru?’
Itachi also looked at the screen with a worried expression. The appearance of this snake wasn’t in the plan Shisui told him, so he is a little worried and not sure if the appearance of this snake is a good thing or a bad thing.
…
On Five Kage’s side
As the Giant Snake appeared on the screen, all the Kage’s stood up in shock.
The Godaime Kazekage Pakura was the most shocked.
She vaguely remembers that her Sensei, Sandaime Kazekage in his younger days used to have a Summon, and this giant red snake oddly resembles that snake, if not for the difference in eyes. Her Sensei’s Snake had two eyes, while this one had only one. “It is possible that both of them are the same?” she muttered and added, “It is really Garaga?”
Sandaime Tsuchikage seems to recognize that giant Snake, and chuckled, “To have signed a Summon Contract with that Garaga at such a young age? That child Uzumaki Naruto… he is not easy!”
Ōnoki didn’t question how Naruto managed to make Garaga his summon. Something must have happened that led to this result, however, to be able to form the contract, and then have the ability to summon Garaga is a really big deal in Ōnoki’s eyes.
‘That kid!’ Raikage looked at Naruto on the screen and clenched his fist, ‘No doubt about it… you are his son!’
“To be able to complete such a feat at such a young age… he is really something!” Even Yagura commented in admiration of Naruto.
Unlike other Kages. Sandaime didn’t praise Naruto, instead, he called one of the Anbu stationed nearby and hurriedly ordered him, “Quickly… tell Hyuga Kuroto to immediately stop the Assessment!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen was really panicked at this moment. He is not sure if Naruto can control such a Summon with his current abilities. After all, even an adult Orochimaru doesn’t claim to have full control over his summon Manda, so how can Naruto control Garaga?
And given the nature of Snakes, it wouldn’t be strange if Snake Garaga started attacking Naruto as well as the children in the Forest of Death!
Hiruzen can’t take such a risk, those children are the future of Konoha, and he can’t allow the future of Konoha to be destroyed!
…
Now let’s get back to the Battlefield
Garaga exhaled a large amount of hot smoke from his nostrils, and spoke in an angry tone of voice, “Naruto…! I was sleeping… why did you summon me at such a time!”
“Sorry Garaga, but I needed your help.” apologized Naruto, then he pointed at the five people wearing Akatsuki Organization’s uniform along with strange masks, and said, “Those people… those bad guys are going to kill me and my friends… I don’t want my friends to die, please help me defeat them!”
Hearing Naruto’s explanation, Garaga angrily glared at Asuma and the others, after staring at them for a few seconds, Garaga said in a displeased tone, “Naruto… you called me just to fight those weak humans? Who do you think I am? I have my arrogance; I won’t fight such weak people!”
Naruto pleaded, “Garaga, please help us… they are members of a terrorist organization named Akatsuki, they are causing problems everywhere. Not long ago, they destroyed Iwagakure, and before that, they attacked Konoha too, they are the enemy of the entire Shinobi World!”
“What? Destroyed Iwagakure and attacked Konoha… really?” Garaga felt incredible, he didn’t feel that the five of them were so strong to be able to accomplish such a feat. He felt that Naruto might be exaggerating things, but he chose not to point that out and said generously, “Fine… I will help you today!”
“Really? Thank you Garaga!” exclaimed Naruto as he jumped up in joy.
Garaga chuckled at Naruto’s behavior… and just as he was about to focus his attention back on the four enemies, he suddenly noticed something, and asked Naruto, “Say Naruto… why aren’t you in Senjutsu Mode?”
“Ugh… that.” Naruto was helpless, he scratched the back of his head and explained, “It takes a lot of time to absorb Natural Energy here so I am unable to enter the Senjutsu Mode… I have tried a lot, but it doesn’t work at all!”
“Idiot!” muttered Garaga, and said, “You need more practice.” Then added after a pause, “Fine, this time I will pass you some Senjutsu Chakra… don’t waste it!”
Instant, some Senjutsu Chakra from Garaga’s body was transferred to Naruto’s body, and Naruto immediately entered Senjutsu Mode.
“Yosha! Now I can fight them as well!”
