Chapter 105 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Attempt to Intercept

Bai Zhuzhu's appetite has become very large, and she eats non-stop all day long!

Moreover, its size is also constantly growing. It was only two meters long at first, but it increased by 20 centimeters in less than a day and a half!

Ning Yuan regretfully confirmed that this was a ninja beast that would increase in size.

It's obvious that a normal pheasant wouldn't grow that big, especially a female pheasant.

Its intelligence also grew rapidly. When Xi Ri Hong taught it pinyin at night, it was able to understand some simple commands the next day and could also make sounds to express its needs.

Of course, the sound produced here refers to the incantation seal - synesthesia.

Even if birds become ninja beasts, it's difficult for them to speak. After all, they are ninja beasts, not immortals, and Bai Zhuzhu is not that woman.

On Sunday afternoon, Kurenai Yuhi signed a contract with Shiro, and Shiro became Kurenai Yuhi's summoned beast.

Then, Kurenai took Zhuzhu home.

Then, when Yuhi Shinku came home from get off work, she was completely dumbfounded.

He circled around Zhuzhu, who was sitting in the yard eating rice, and asked in astonishment, "What is this?"

"My summoning beast, Shiro-ju-ju!" Kurenai Yuhi said with a smug look on her face.

Although she has become much more mature, she is still a child after all and loves to show off.

The crimson sunset fell silent.

I've never had a spirit beast in my entire life, but my daughter, who's only in school, already does?

"This, uh, does it have chakra?" Kurenai Yuhi asked.

It's probably just an ordinary pheasant, but even ordinary pheasants don't grow that big.

Could it really be a ninja beast?

He doesn't have Byakugan or Sharingan; you really can't tell just by looking at him.

"Of course I do!" Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed excitedly. "How can I sign a summoning contract without chakra?"

"That's true!" Kurenai Yuhi nodded, then asked, "By the way, where did it come from? Did you steal someone's summoning beast?"

There are spirit beasts in the wild, but Ningyuan and Yuhi Kurenai can't leave the village, right?

If it were a village, there would be no reason for a ninja beast to be left unattended!

This is a ninja bird. Do you know how valuable a ninja bird is?

Even a small ninja bird, which can only be used for communication, is still an invaluable asset.

What's more, this one is so big, it could easily carry an adult!

"Who could we possibly steal from? We caught it ourselves, okay!" Kurenai's eyebrows shot up in anger, then she turned and shouted, "Mom, look at him! He doesn't believe me!"

Seeing Hezi bring out the dishes, Yuhi Mako immediately backed down, but still couldn't suppress her curiosity: "Where did you catch it?"

"In the forest north of the Uchiha clan's territory, next to the Naka River!" Kurenai Yuhi said.

"Could there be ninja birds in that place?" Yuhi Shinku recalled that he had also taken on patrol missions in the past and was very familiar with the area. It was true that there was a forest there, but he had never heard of ninja birds!

"Anyway, it's right there. It was one of our Uchiha clan classmates who showed us the way!" Forgive Kurenai for being so preoccupied with Ning Yuan; she only recognized the clan emblem on Obito's body but didn't know his name.

"Such a thing is true!" Since the Uchiha clan is involved, the credibility of this claim is quite high.

Yuhi Shinku picked up the coat she had just put down and turned to leave.

"Where are you going? Didn't you just get off work?" Yuhi Kazuko asked as she came out of the kitchen and saw this scene.

"I'll go check out the place my daughter mentioned; maybe I can find another one!" Although her daughter was still young, it wouldn't be a problem to borrow White Pearl for a while, but Yuhi Makoto was too embarrassed to take her daughter's things.

Although she was a genjutsu-type ninja, Yuhi Shinku was still very efficient and left in a flash.

Only Hezi and Hong were left staring at each other.

"Never mind, let's eat first!" Hezi said.

Red Dot nodded, but did not tell her father that Bai Zhuzhu had only acquired chakra yesterday afternoon.

After all, your father is a die-hard fan of the Third Hokage. Maybe if you tell him, he'll report it to the authorities.

Little did Xi Ri Zhen Hong know that her little darling was already being exposed to the elements, as she wandered outside for three hours late at night in late autumn.

Naturally, not a single ninja beast was found.

The next day, Kurenai, keeping to the beat of the hour, rode her horse, Zhuzhu, out the door.

As they passed by Sarutobi's house, Hiruzen Sarutobi happened to come out with a pipe in his mouth, and then he saw Kurenai Yuhi riding a white pearl.

"Red? This is..." Hiruzen Sarutobi blinked, looking at the large pheasant under Kurenai Yuhi with surprise.

"Its name is Bai Zhuzhu. Ning Yuan and I caught this spirit beast in the forest the day before yesterday!" Yuhi Hong proudly boasted.

"Oh?" Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette and said, "Not just any bird can be called a summoning beast!"

"Of course I know, but White Pearl has chakra; she's a genuine summoning beast!" With that, Kurenai stretched out her hand and commanded, "Pearl, show the Third Hokage your power!"

"Hehehe!" Bai Zhuzhu opened her mouth and then spat out a ball of chakra.

Chakra without attribute attributes is harmless unless it comes from the Hyuga clan.

Even so, it's enough to prove Bai Zhuzhu's identity; she really is a ninja bird!

"Huh, this really is a ninja beast!" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in surprise, "You caught this?"

"Ningyuan helped me catch it the day before yesterday, and then gave it to me as a summoning beast!" Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile.

"The day before yesterday." Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent. At that time, the Anbu came back to report that the two children had caught a pheasant, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't take it seriously.

Only now have I realized that this pheasant is actually a pheasant with chakra?

He also believed that the pheasant originally possessed chakra.

But why?

He silently activated his chakra perception and discovered that this pheasant had quite a bit of chakra inside it!

That's at least the level of a Chunin!

With so much chakra, your fighting power must be pretty good too. How did you get caught by two kids?

Surely they're not tired of living a nomadic life and want to find a host who will provide them with food and lodging?

"Are you going to ride it to school?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"That's right, I want to show my classmates what I'm made of!" Kurenai Yuhi said, then asked softly, "How about it, is that okay?"

"It's best not to do that. Such a large summoning beast, what if it goes berserk in the school?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said. "There aren't any Jonin in the school, and even a few Chunin teachers might not be able to control it!"

"No way, Pearl is very well-behaved!" Kurenai retorted. "It wouldn't go berserk!"

"Please forgive me, this is for the sake of your classmates!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

"Then what should I do?" Hong asked. "I can't just leave it at home. My dad has to go to work, and it's just my mom at home."

Her mother is also a Chunin, so if Zhuzhu goes berserk, Hezi might not be able to control her.

"How about this, if you trust me, why don't you hand it over to me!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

"No, this is my summoned beast!" Kurenai immediately hugged Shiro, unwilling to hand it over.

"I'm not trying to steal your summoning beast!" Hiruzen Sarutobi explained awkwardly, "It's all village rules. A ninja's summoning beast has to be registered with the village. We give it a headband, test its strength, and if it goes on a mission, we even give it money. Think about it, you go to school, and your summoning beast can earn money by carrying out missions—isn't that a great thing!"

"This," Kurenai blinked, seemingly a little tempted.

"Besides, Bai Zhuzhu should have just become a summoning beast. There are many things about the village that it doesn't know yet, and it doesn't know some common human knowledge either. There are professional people in the village who can train it."

As for whether the summoning beast will still be yours after the training, it's all voluntary for the summoning beast to want to contribute to the village!

Of course, such words could not be said to those clan ninjas. Even if Bai Zhuzhu were in Ning Yuan's hands, Hiruzen Sarutobi would at most give her a headband, but would not say so much.

He's just taking advantage of the fact that the Yuhi family isn't a ninja clan and that Yuhi Kurenai is young and doesn't understand things.

"Training!" Kurenai thought for a moment, and it seemed that she really should give some training?

"Should I hand it over to you directly?" Kurenai asked.

"I can just take it with me!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said. "After the formalities are completed, I'll give it to your father so he can take it home when he gets off work. I guarantee that when you come home from school, you'll see a perfectly intact white pearl. What do you think?"

With all worries resolved, what else is there to worry about?

Kurenai could only get off Shiro and watch as Shiro followed Hiruzen Sarutobi towards the Hokage's office building.

His eyes were filled with sadness, reluctance, and worry.

Are you really okay?
