I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

After signing the summoning contract with Thunderbird, Hoshino Yu did not leave, but quietly waited for the other to wake up.

It's important to know that after signing a summoning contract, although you already have a summoned beast, you still need to check if the other party can respond when you summon it.

Hoshino Yu guessed that the Thunderbird was probably still not convinced by him, so he would have to spend the remaining three days here to build up his relationship with it.

After leaving Thunder Gorge, we hunted two large wild boars in the outer forest. After cleaning them by the river, we brought them back to where Thunderbird was.

Thunderbird was still unconscious at this time. Seeing this, Hoshino Yu started a fire and set up a bonfire to roast the two pigs.

Hoshino Yu has been training here for more than four days and hasn't had a proper meal yet. He has been relying on soldier rations to replenish his strength, but those things are really not very tasty.

Under the scorching heat of the campfire, the skin of the two pigs gradually turned golden and shiny, with fat dripping down their skin, and the aroma of meat mixed with the smoky fragrance spreading in layers.

The fragrance continued to spread in the air, and with the gentle breeze, it entered Hoshino's nostrils.

"It would be nice to have cumin or something, but unfortunately there aren't many seasonings. I don't know what wild plants can be used as seasonings, so I'll just have to make do with what I have."

After tearing off one of the roasted pork legs, Hoshino Yu sniffed it and began to eat it in large bites.

A moment later, after eating two pig legs, he began to feel his energy returning.

Just then, the Thunderbird, which had been lying to one side, seemed to smell a fragrance. As it slightly opened its beak, its body also made some movements.

"Awake? Would you like something to eat?"

Seeing that the other party had made a move, Hoshino Yu swallowed the pork and asked.

The Thunderbird, startled by the sound, flapped its giant wings and quickly got up.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you don't eat it, I still want to! Don't waste it!"

Seeing that the fire in front of him was almost extinguished by the wind and waves caused by the Thunderbird, which blew dust onto the pork, Hoshino Yu frowned and said.

Thunderbird's reaction was still very quick. Previously, it was because Hoshino Yu was too fast for it to react, and it was hit by an "electric punch" that was equivalent to light and earth. In its dizzy state, it was also affected by the illusion.

Otherwise, someone with thick skin wouldn't be so easily defeated.

It's understandable that he'd woken up now, hovering in mid-air, looking at Hoshino Yu with a hint of hostility.

But the unfamiliar fragrance was so irresistible that the Thunderbird couldn't resist it.

Should I eat it or not?

Hoshino Yu was holding a roasted pig's hind leg and waving it in the direction of the Thunder Bird.

"It smells delicious! You won't find this place again!"

"Besides, when others sign a psychic contract with you, it's nothing more than wanting to use you and make you their subordinate. I'm different."

Hoshino Yu continued to employ his clumsy persuasive skills, biting into his grilled meat and smiling as he said:

"If you follow me, you'll have no problem living the high life, and we'll definitely be equals in status."

"And I'm also good at using electricity, which is a perfect match for me. You can fly freely even when I'm on your back."

While Hoshino Yu was talking to himself below, Thunderbird above was weighing its options.

It seems it didn't stay in Leixia for more than a few years. It was looking for a habitat, and this place just happened to be a suitable environment for it.

There were hardly any other creatures in Leixia Gorge, so I decided to stay there.

As for why it is so large, it is due to genetics, and the rapid growth is also due to the effect of lightning tempering.

Other ninjas had seen it before and considered making it their summoning beast, but without exception, after being hit by its electric shocks a few times, they all fled in a sorry state.

Now, encountering the ninjas below, it sees them as not much different from those others, yet also as slightly different.

It was as if his eyes revealed a clear stupidity, which was obviously different from the greedy look in the eyes of other ninjas.

Thunderbird could sense that it had entered into a psychic contract with the other party, which was why it was somewhat angry.

It doesn't like being forced.

"Oh, it's a proud bird."

Seeing that the other person was observing him but had no other reaction, Hoshino Yu simply started eating on his own.

Anyway, what's done is done, the contract has already been signed, and even if I die, the other party will still be my summoned beast.

Feelings can be cultivated slowly later. Even someone like Kurama was influenced by Naruto and became his buddy. It's not a problem if you spend more time on it.

"I know you're not happy about being forced to sign a psychic contract, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"You've lived longer than me, so you should know what the ninja world is like. Who knows, one day you might be controlled by some powerful figure using genjutsu, or forcibly taken and used before."

"If that's the case, you might as well come with me. How about we come down and try a couple of slices of grilled meat first?"

After a while, seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Hoshino Yu shook his head helplessly.

According to the perception of Observation Haki, the Thunderbird paused for a short while before flapping its giant wings and quickly leaving.

Seeing the Thunderbird vanish without a trace, Hoshino Yu didn't even bother to activate his Observation Haki, and muttered somewhat awkwardly:

"Never mind, it's a long road ahead, this isn't urgent..."

But before he could finish speaking, a distant cry pulled him back to reality.

Looking up, he saw a thunderbird flying rapidly towards him, carrying several wild boars in its beak. Lightning surged around it, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, and it soon landed beside him.

After tossing the carcasses of several wild boars next to Hoshino Yu, Thunderbird looked at the sizzling pork being roasted, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his head to try eating it.

This behavior secretly pleased Hoshino Yu.

See, we've started over!

Although the barbecue is seasoned, the pork in the ninja world cannot be generalized. The meat is firm and juicy, and just one bite is enough to make you crave more.

The Thunderbird took a bite of the roasted pork in its beak and began to slowly savor it.

A moment later, seeing Thunderbird smacking its lips, it immediately knew that this wave was in the bag.

But Thunderbird recognized a fact:

"Wow, this little thing smells so good after baking!"

Seeing that he seemed to still want more, Hoshino Yu immediately cleaned up the wild boars that the other party had just brought, rinsed them with water, and then started roasting them again.

"How about it? Not bad, right? I told you I wasn't lying to you," Hoshino Yu said with a smile.

"Hmm, it tastes good. This is my first time eating roasted wild boar... Don't just stand there, hurry up and roast it and eat it!"

"?" Hoshino Yu frowned, turning to look at the massive body. "You can talk?"

"Yes, I will." Thunderbird replied to Hoshino Yu in a clear, high-pitched, and sharp voice.

"Then why didn't you say so sooner? If you could speak, we could have communicated, right?"

"You hit me, I don't want to talk."

Yes, that makes sense.

Hoshino Yu thought to herself.

However, this is a huge windfall. There aren't many talking summoned beasts to begin with, unlike the tailed beasts and the three great immortal lands.

I thought I was just looking for a spirit beast that could help me in the future, but I ended up finding one that can talk.

Hoshino Yuu beamed with joy and immediately sped up the grilling process.

Don't keep my bird waiting too long.
