Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Using the Body Flicker Technique to rush in and then finishing off the enemy with the Rasengan—this wasn't the first time Hagen had done this. However, because the enemy this time was quite cooperative, his attacks were exceptionally clean and efficient. As a result, the scene of the Fourth Hokage defeating the masked man involuntarily flashed through his mind...

Okay, the gap is still quite large.

The sound of the shuriken cutting through the air mingled with the sound of rain. Yu Xian's keen hearing caught this, but instead of advancing, he retreated. He ducked to avoid the enemy's attack and activated his Instantaneous Movement Technique again, appearing directly in front of the enemy.

"Such a fast teleportation..."

Such high speed instantly put the enemy on high alert. He was on high alert and ready to fight. However, the opponent did not stop at all after getting close. Before he could react, their figures had already passed each other.

Why...?

Soon, the enemy got the answer himself. Temperature and strength were rapidly being drained from his body. He subconsciously touched his neck behind his back and found that his artery and throat had been cut open.

The identities of killer and victim constantly shift within a ninja. When Yugen defeats an enemy, he doesn't experience any extra pleasure. In fact, Yugen suddenly understands Orochimaru's attitude towards life... A ninja's life is just too fragile.

When traveling alone in the Land of Rain, the priority should be ensuring one's own condition and avoiding injury as much as possible.

However, speaking of Orochimaru, Hagen suddenly wanted to try a special ninjutsu... namely, the Summoning Jutsu.

Although a contract must be signed before using this technique, Yu Xian felt that the chances of success were very high if he tried it directly with his current abilities, because his connection with Ryuchi Cave was much stronger than a simple spirit summoning contract.

This is certainly not just a simple "show of skill". Summoning Jutsu is, after all, a space-time ninjutsu. If it is successful, then Yugen's safety will be guaranteed by an extra layer... Summoning Jutsu and Reverse Summoning Jutsu are essentially the same ninjutsu. Mastering this technique means that Yugen has another way to escape the battlefield in an emergency.

So Yugen mobilized his chakra and drew upon the natural energy within his body, then began to form hand seals: Boar—Dog—Rooster—Monkey—Sheep, Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!

The technique of summoning itself has no high barrier to entry; the barrier lies in the summoned beast. Without a summoned beast, the technique will either not be activated at all, or it will cause even worse consequences.

As Yu Xian formed hand seals and cast a spell, a cloud of smoke rose from the forest, and something enormous suddenly appeared there... A giant white snake not only crushed the surrounding trees, but also crushed the third ninja in front of Yu Xian to death as it appeared.

The summoning technique was successfully activated. Yu Xian looked at the white snake in front of her and felt that it looked very familiar.

This? How come it looks a bit like the snake that Orochimaru took to Ryuchi Cave in his lab? Is it the same snake? Yugen couldn't be sure, because under human observation, all snakes look pretty much the same.

The white snake sensed the natural energy within Yu Xian's body, and also sensed the special nature of his "bloodline"... There was actually a faint sense of closeness between the human and the snake.

After glancing at the ninja standing above her, the white snake's dangerous snake eyes fixed on the last remaining enemy.

The white snake suddenly pressed its head down. It did not launch any physical attack, but simply exhaled a breath of white air at the enemy after getting close to it.

Poison gas? No, Yu Xian sensed it for a moment and immediately realized that it was not poison gas, but saliva mixed with a large amount of natural energy.

What kind of attack is this?

But then something strange happened. The last enemy was enveloped by abundant natural energy, which invaded his body. He was immediately severely eroded, and just seconds later, his body began to rapidly deform.

In the blink of an eye, he became a flesh-and-blood sculpture full of postmodern style.

"..."

All I can say is that the result of this technique is very Orochimaru-esque; it's just too bizarre. Yu Xuan glanced at the enemy's dead body, then involuntarily looked away.

"White Snake... what should I call her?" Yu Xian tried to communicate with the White Snake.

However, this snake had no social needs. It simply memorized Yugen's chakra and then automatically dispelled the summoning... after all, it had already done its job.

"Could they be mistaking me for one of Orochimaru's Konoha ninja?"

However, does the fact that this white snake can use natural energy mean that it is a bit more advanced than Manda in the Ryuchi Cave system?

Can Manda use natural energy? Yuzuru doesn't quite remember the details.

"I haven't confirmed the reverse psychic communication thing yet."

Reverse Summoning Technique is rather complicated to activate. It requires sending a signal to the summoning beast first. The specific steps are: the ninja first uses the Summoning Technique to summon the summoning beast, then cancels the summoning, and after the summoning beast returns, the ninja can then be summoned again.

Therefore, unless in an emergency, there is no need to use the Reverse Spirit Communication technique, as its response speed is simply too slow.

Besides the complicated process, Yu Xian also believed that he should avoid appearing before the White Snake Immortal unless absolutely necessary. Who knew what the White Snake Immortal's attitude would be after seeing him?

Once a giant spirit appears, the commotion it causes will certainly be significant, so Yu Xian quickly left the area.

…………

The commotion here was indeed noticed by the Rain Village ninjas in the surrounding area, but by the time they arrived at the scene, it was already too late.

"These marks..."

"There are signs of activity by large summoned beasts."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's a large summoning beast that's snake-shaped or snake-like. The traces are too obvious... The most typical person who can control this kind of summoning beast should be Orochimaru, a Jonin from Konoha."

Another group of Rain Village ninja arrived at the scene and immediately made this judgment. Although the environment of the Land of Rain could easily conceal traces of ninja activity, the traces left by the giant summoning beast were not among them.

Orochimaru already had a certain degree of fame, so the traces at the scene easily led people to associate him with him.

"Not necessarily. There are also people in Sunagakure who can summon giant sand snakes."

"really."

"Captain, come take a look. Our men's bodies are... strange."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the captain of the Rain Village squad arrived at the corpse of the ninja who had died from natural energy, and his expression immediately turned extremely grim.

"What exactly happened? What kind of ninjutsu could cause such a horrific scene?"

They were used to seeing ninja corpses with severed limbs and mangled flesh, but this "indescribable" sight was something they had never seen before.

The captain immediately realized that there might be new changes on the battlefield.

"Take the body back and find out exactly what happened!"

Who on earth caused this? The captain began to suspect that it was Orochimaru from Konoha who had appeared here. It was said that the ninja always carried a strong sense of inhumanity.
