Naruto: Assassinating Minato Namikaze at the Start

Chapter 81 Twin World Beads

The test results greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

The one-eyed creature not only possesses intelligence and can communicate, but it even makes trading gestures.

The meaning is obvious: once you've taken the stone, don't hit him anymore.

Mo Jingxian suddenly felt like she had become the villain.

Thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense. A group of people breaking into someone else's house shouting and killing—aren't they just bad guys?

The other party must have seen humans before; although the word "give" was unclear, the meaning was clear.

Mo Jingxian looked at Tsunade, as if to say, "You make the decision."

Tsunade looked suspicious and took two steps forward.

The one-eyed man retreated defensively until his back pressed against the wall.

Tsunade did not approach any further, but instead circled around the one-eyed man to observe him.

The single eye, which occupied a third of her face, followed Tsunade's movement.

It's quite funny when their big eyes dart around.

After a brief probing, the group discovered that the one-eyed creature was indeed no longer a significant threat.

The team's mission is to find the "Boundary Pearl".

As for the one-eyed man, it doesn't matter whether he's killed or not, as long as he doesn't threaten the lives of the others.

But where is the "Boundary Pearl"?

Tsunade's gaze fell on the wall behind the one-eyed man, which was filled with boundary stones.

It's like the one who just took out the one-eyed guy to make a deal.

"Small-world creatures rely on boundary stones to grow." Tsunade explained this as she searched:

"Boundary Stones are the accompanying minerals of Boundary Beads; each independent space will condense one Boundary Bead."

"Are the Boundary Beads and space interdependent?" Kakashi pondered for a moment, thinking of the spatial runes: "What would happen to that small space without the Boundary Beads?"

"Not a companion stone." Tsunade walked to the stone wall, raised her hand, and plucked a boundary stone:

"It's a chicken-and-egg situation. Without the Boundary Bead, the small world will gradually merge with the main world."

Mo Jingxian listened to Tsunade's introduction, seemingly lost in thought.

As soon as he entered, he noticed the so-called boundary stone, which was nine-tenths similar to the moonstone in his hand.

Therefore, it's quite easy to draw the following conclusion:

The ancient city of Loulan is also a small world in itself. Great, now there's another reason to explore it again.

As he gained a deeper understanding of the world, many mysterious events gradually came to light.

This applies to ninjutsu, sealing runes, and now there's another small world.

Tsunade was still talking when he turned his attention back to the one-eyed creature.

He concluded that this creature was probably still in its juvenile stage.

Although they look somewhat different from humans, we can still draw conclusions based on some details.

For example, their behavior is so similar to that of human children; they practically wear their thoughts on their faces.

According to Tsunade, even small worlds have different ages.

This cave is another small world, which grew out of the Wind Scorpion Realm.

Judging from its size, it's clear that it hasn't been around for very long.

Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce that the one-eyed creature is a juvenile form unique to this small world.

In this way, the six of them had to fight tooth and nail to gain a slight advantage, which shows its potential for growth.

Once you become an adult...

Mo Jingxian put on a kind smile and walked step by step towards the one-eyed man: "Let's talk. You can understand me, right?"

The others stopped what they were doing and stared at Mo Jingxian.

The one-eyed creature's large eyeball darted around, and it raised its hand to pluck down two more boundary stones: "Here you go."

This time the pronunciation was more accurate than last time.

Mo Jingxian's smile widened, confirming that he understood.

When he reached the one-eyed man, he was only about chest height.

But things started to take the lead from Mo Jingxian.

He closed the hand that was offered to him, letting it grasp the boundary stone.

"This is yours." Mo Jingxian pointed to a boundary stone on a wall:

"These are all yours, we won't take them."

The one-eyed man stared at him for a while, and gradually understood what he meant.

His mouth gaped open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth that gleamed coldly, but he was indeed smiling.

"Do you want more?" Mo Jingxian coaxed, gesturing with her hand to indicate that the space needed to be even larger than this one.

"Follow me, and you'll have as many boundary stones as you want in the future!"

At this moment, a comical scene unfolded on the field.

A short child is abducting a burly man who is nearly two meters tall.

Mo Jingxian, with what she considered a kind smile on her face, was practically about to say, "I'll take you to see the goldfish."

The space was already quiet, so everyone watched his performance.

It's no wonder that others are so curious, as no one in the ninja world has ever signed another human as a summon beast.

Indeed, they define a one-eyed person as human.

Mo Jingxian's thoughts were broad and scattered; he knew that not all intelligent humanoid beings were human.

Anyway, there's no harm in giving it a try, and what if it works?

The one-eyed man understood.

The eyeballs started performing again.

He looked at Mo Jingxian first, and then at Tsunade.

Their gaze lingered on Kakashi's face for quite a while.

Everyone knows what it means, but they try not to laugh and say it.

Kakashi had discarded his mask a few days ago, and now his lips twitched slightly.

One-Eyed looked them over one by one, then gestured to Mo Jingxian.

Mo Jingxian gestured back.

The two communicated in a very free and unrestrained manner.

He understood what he meant and assured the one-eyed man that everything he said was true, but he didn't give a specific timeframe.

After exchanging words for less than five minutes, the one-eyed man nodded.

The others were thinking, "Holy crap, is this even allowed?"

Just when everyone thought Mo Jingxian had dealt with One-Eye, One-Eye pointed a finger at Lingzi.

The meaning is very clear.

Mo Jingxian was stunned.

However, he immediately realized what was happening.

That works too, at least the benefits stay within the family.

"Ayako." He beckoned, "Come here and sign the summoning contract."

"Me?" Hinata Ayako was a little confused. She walked over to look at Mo Jingxian and then at the one-eyed man.

The one-eyed man's eyes lost their ferocity and became very friendly.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up." Mo Jingxian pulled Lingzi's hand and made a small cut on her finger:

"There's no time to waste. Why hesitate about something this good?"

"oh."

Hinata Ayako finally realized what was happening and was instantly overwhelmed with surprise.

She stumbled upon a hundred million in cash as soon as she stepped out the door—it was like she got it for free!

She had only ever seen a summoned beast with near-Kage-level combat power from the Sannin, and even then, she had only caught a glimpse of it from afar.

Who wouldn't be envious?

Not to mention anything far removed, even the Hyuga clan has never possessed a summoned beast with such combat power.

She nervously drew the contract runes, which were very basic and had been described on stone carvings.

The contract process was simple and smooth. Blood formed specific symbols in the air in front of them, then split in two and entered the consciousness of both parties.

"That's it?" Kakashi leaned closer, his eyes full of envy.

Not only him, but the other four were also envious.

It's important to know that summoned beasts are also a crucial component of strength.

Examples include Hiruzen Sarutobi's Great Ape, Danzo's Baku, and the Salamander, which is famous throughout the ninja world.

The power of these summoned beasts is beyond doubt.

Now, Ayako Hinata also has a Pokémon of the same rank, which is still growing. How can anyone not be envious?

Everyone gathered around to congratulate Lingzi, and Mo Jingxian took the opportunity to touch her one eye.

The skin is like a rock, but very elastic.

The one-eyed creature stared at him with its large eyeball, its gaze full of curiosity.

Mo Jingxian stretched out his hand, and the one-eyed man thought for a moment before imitating him.

Two hands, one big and one small, were clasped together, and the one-eyed man smiled happily.

He's just a child.

"We're friends now." Mo Jingxian jumped up and patted his shoulder.

One-Eyed nodded.

"Alright, then friends should help each other." He began circling the one-eyed man:

"If anyone bullies me in the future, you'll help me fight them off. And if I bully others, you'll help me fight them off too. Can you do that?"

The one-eyed man nodded again.

"Hahaha……"

It was almost time, and Tsunade suggested that they find the Boundary Orb first.

The moment the contract was signed, Ayako and the One-Eyed established a spiritual connection.

Her thoughts were received by the one-eyed man.

One-Eyed immediately turned and ran towards the cave, with the six people following closely behind.

That's right...

Sigh, I was a bit too harsh back then.

The shorts that the one-eyed man conjured from earth elements were stained with blood at the chrysanthemum area.

Kakashi turned his head away, refusing to make eye contact with the others.

A one-eyed creature can hide things.

He found two beads in an inconspicuous spot in the cave.

One is large, the other is small; the larger one is about the size of an adult's fist, and the smaller one is like a girl's ornament.

He put the smaller one away and handed the larger one to Ayako.

Holding the boundary bead feels very comfortable, somewhat like holding a piece of jade.

But it is transparent, with turbid air currents swirling inside.

It can't really be called airflow, it's just similar. That thing has no name, but it's constantly changing.

"It really is a Twin World Pearl." Tsunade said, explaining to the group:

"Occasionally, two Boundary Beads will be born in an independent space, hmm... like double-yolk eggs."

This analogy is very vivid, and everyone understood it immediately.

"What's the impact? I mean, taking one away..." Mo Jingxian pointed to the one-eyed creature:

"What impact will this have on him?"

The Boundary Bead circulated among the group before finally being handed to Tsunade.

"It won't have any effect." Tsunade put the World Orb away.

"Let's talk as we walk."

The mission has now come to a perfect end.

One-Eyed tugged at Ayako's sleeve, his thoughts immediately conveyed to her.

"The one-eyed man wants to go out with us and have a look around."

Ayako Hinata sought everyone's opinions.

"Let's go with him," Mo Jingxian said cheerfully. "He's just a little kid who wants to go out and play."

Seeing Ayako nod, the one-eyed man danced with glee.

Then, he began to shrink, eventually becoming less than half a foot in size.

She climbed up to Ayako's shoulder in a few steps and found a comfortable spot to sit down.

Then he uttered several single words and gestures, meaning he couldn't wait any longer.

Everyone laughed, saying that the little thing was as big as a monkey.

The team moved quickly along the cave.

"How is it? Is it heavy?"

"It won't sink." Ayako Hyuga was overjoyed.

"It has no weight at all, why don't you give it a try?"

The telepathic communication was so convenient; as soon as he finished speaking, One-Eyed darted onto Mo Jingxian's shoulder.

Indeed, it's like a wisp of air.

Thinking about the one-eyed man's gravity field ability, he found it quite reasonable.

"Oh, right," Ayako said, "'One-Eyed' sounds awful, Sen, let's give him a name."

"Come and get it; he's your partner."

"If you come, I'm afraid I won't get it right."

"What's good or bad about it?" Mo Jingxian poked the one-eyed man with her finger.

"I'll do it, um..."

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him 'Forrest Gump'."
