After leaving the rooftop, Naruto went to a forest in the back of the mountain. He ran all the way to a big tree before stopping.
"Edith, is there a tail following you?"
"No, Master. Don't worry.”
After getting Edie's confirmation, Naruto looked up at the big tree. There was a crow perched on the branch.
"Go tell Zhishui that I'm here."
This crow was a spiritual beast of the water seal, and Naruto usually used it to communicate with the water seal.
The crow cawed twice as if it was responding to Naruto. It flapped its wings twice and flew away. Naruto sat under the big tree and waited patiently.
After a while, Zhishui appeared in front of Naruto with the crow.
"Zhishui, can you stop scaring me? I know your Instant Movement Technique is powerful!"
Although he could no longer react in time, Naruto still complained a little. After all these years, he had gotten used to it and had to say a few words every time.
"Hehe, Naruto, you are also very powerful. You reacted in an instant just now.”Zhi Shui closed his eyes and still had a smile on his face. It seemed that the extermination of his clan did not affect him much.
This was indeed the case. Unlike Sasuke, he had experienced the baptism of blood and fire since he was young. Although his entire family had been destroyed, his personality had not changed. Moreover, over the years, he had also figured out what Itachi had done. After all, Itachi had no ability to stop the family from rebelling. For the sake of peace and the life of his younger brother, he could only choose to abandon the family.
However, Seizumi did not give up the idea of killing Itachi. Perhaps he had guessed Itachi's thoughts. Itachi wanted Sasuke to kill him and become a hero to revive Uchiha. Itachi was Uchiha's traitor. Only by killing him could Uchiha's glory be restored. Otherwise, Uchiha's name would forever be a joke in the ninja realm.
"Alright, cut the crap. Why did you call me here?”Naruto and Zhishui were already very familiar with each other, so he was not happy to hear him praise him.
"It's like this. I'm preparing to leave the village. I'm going to inquire about Xiao's whereabouts.”
"So be it. Haven't you often left the village to inquire about Xiao's whereabouts in the past few years?”
Naruto was somewhat baffled. Zhishui had been out asking about Itachi's whereabouts for many years, and gradually learned that Itachi had joined an organization called Akatsuki. Therefore, he turned to collect information about Akatsuki. Although he did not know much about it, he had a certain understanding of it.
"No, it's different this time. I'm going to make direct contact with the ferret and take back my left eye.”
Naruto raised his eyebrows." Are you serious?"
"Ah, yes." Zhi Shui said seriously," Although I still have the strength of Jounin, I can't go any further. If I want to revive Uchiha, this bit of strength is far from enough."”
"And most importantly, I believe that there must have been a powerful person helping Weasel on the night of the extermination. Otherwise, even if Tuan Zang and his men attacked together, they wouldn't have been able to finish off everyone in the clan so quickly. I suspect that this person is the leader of Xiao.”
'Yo! You can even guess that! Naruto was surprised. He naturally knew that the person that Zhishui judged was the soil.
"You're very smart. Why were you so stupid before? He actually voluntarily hid his eyes."
"Hehe, people only grow after experiencing setbacks. It's just that this setback of mine is a little too big.”Zhi Shui smiled bitterly. It was precisely because he was too concerned about his family that he made the wrong judgment.
As the saying went, the more one cared about something, the more likely it was for one to make a wrong judgment. Although using someone's family to threaten them was a very old-fashioned and obscene method, it was very useful for most people.
"That's why I'm very likely to die this time. If anything happens, I'll leave Sasuke to you.”
"Ah, I know."
Naruto didn't try to stop him. Weasel wouldn't do anything to Zhishui, and although there was Bai Jue watching Weasel, with Weasel's intelligence, he would have noticed it long ago. If Weasel wanted to, he could return the eyes to Zhishui without being discovered by Daido.
"Then Naruto, you will be going out to do missions as a ninja in the future. Do you want to form a contract with my spiritual beast to increase your strength?”
"Your spiritual beast?" Naruto subconsciously looked at the crow." You mean this crow? No way, he looked very weak.”
The crow cried out in dissatisfaction, and Zhishui laughed." Naruto, this is just for communication." Although the crow race was small, they had many races, and there were many powerful and special individuals. If you were Naruto, you would definitely be able to summon powerful companions.”
"This…Alright." Naruto hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. It was good to be able to increase his strength. Moreover, crows were not necessarily weak. After all, Weasel's spiritual beast was also a crow.
Hearing Naruto agree, Zhishui took out a scroll and handed it to Naruto." Just write your name on it in blood."”
Naruto opened the scroll and bit his finger to write his name at the end.
"Is that all?"
"That's right. Naruto, try forming your hand seals. The order is Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei. The first time might only produce one egg.”Zhi Shui smiled. Back then, he had only managed to produce one egg.
"What? How can a genius like me do that!"
Naruto pursed his lips unhappily, bit his finger, and pressed it on the ground.
"Psychic Art!"
Following Naruto's actions, a huge psychic pattern appeared on the ground. It emitted a cloud of smoke, and the figure of a small bird appeared.
" Hehe, this feeling, I didn't expect it to be an adult crow for the first time. Naruto, you are indeed..." Just as he was about to praise him, Zhishui's expression suddenly changed, and his voice could not help but panic," No! This feeling! How is that possible…"
In Naruto's mind, Edie was also anxiously shouting at him," Master! This bird gave off a very bad feeling!”
Naruto ignored the two of them and just stared at the crow. Unlike the other crows, this one was not black. Its entire body was red, like blood, giving off a bloody and ominous feeling. Under the contrast of the red feathers, the originally normal black eyes looked extremely strange.
The red crow looked up at Naruto and spoke.
"Were you the one who summoned me? Little brat." Without waiting for Naruto's reply, he continued," Let me introduce myself. I'm the symbol of misfortune. I'm from the Blood Crow Clan. However, I'm the only bird in the clan, so I'm called Blood Crow.”
