Konoha's Immortal Disciple

Chapter 6 The Psychic Contract
After waking up, the sun shines through the window sill, and Hoshino tree is greeted by a bright day.

"Hmm~" Hoshino stretched subconsciously, but as soon as his arms were stretched halfway, bursts of soreness came from the muscles of his arms.

"Ah, why does it hurt so much?" Hoshino Shu couldn't even lift his hand, it felt as if the soul on his arm had been sealed by a ghoul.

After packing up, Hoshino Shu followed Zilai and continued on the road.

Jiraiya took the map, made a cross on the original route, and then planned a new route.

The destination is the same as the original route, Konoha, but the itinerary has become longer, and Jilai also wants to observe Hoshino tree for a while.

When they reached the entrance of the village, violent abuse and pitiful crying came from their ears. Looking in that direction, it turned out that a man was beating a little girl with a wooden stick.

"Useless thing, keep screaming, keep screaming! Why, I give you food every day, and you don't want to hit me twice?"

"Oh?" Ji Lai also stepped forward curiously, and asked, "What's the matter, brother, from your tone, you should be his father, so why did you beat her like this?"

When the man heard someone calling him, he temporarily stopped what he was doing.

The little girl felt that she had escaped a catastrophe, so she hid behind a tree in fear, stretched out her head and looked at the man with extremely terrified eyes.

"It's because I raised her that I want to beat her. I eat my food every day, use my money, and I can't help at all. What's wrong with me hitting her twice?" The man responded angrily. .

At the same time, I saw the little girl hiding far away, pointing at her with a wooden stick: "Hide, I'll see where you can hide!"

Ji Lai also took a look at this man, and felt that he had a familiar aura, the aura that one of his friends often had - the aura of a gambler.

There is no doubt that this man is a gambler, because he lost money in the bet, and her daughter happened to do something that displeased him, so he took out his anger on her daughter.

Seeing the man walking towards her daughter with a wooden stick, Zilai also asked Hoshino Shu: "Shu, what do you think I should do?"

Hoshino Shu thought for a while, and replied: "Although I really want to beat this person up, I think it's best to leave him alone."

Hearing this answer, Jilai asked curiously, "Why?"

"Hey..." Hoshino Shu sighed.

"Although we can save the little girl from being beaten temporarily by teaching him a lesson now, when we leave, her father will definitely take his anger out on her, and the beatings she suffered may be more serious at that time."

"It certainly satisfied our sense of justice to seek justice, but in the end, not only could we not help that little girl, but it would actually harm her."

Jilai was also a little shocked when he heard these words. He not only heard the answer he expected, but also heard these unexpected surprises.

"Very good." Ji Lai also smiled with satisfaction. Although he is full of enthusiasm, he is not a reckless man, and only uses his fists to ask questions.

Reason and result are more important than anything else.

But Jiraiya still stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder: "Hey, buddy, let's take a rest."

"It's none of your business!" The man shook his shoulders, but found that the hands on his shoulders were like steel bars, holding him firmly in place.

He turned back in panic, thinking: "This person is not here to teach me a lesson."

But he found that the next second, the man in front of him didn't greet him with a huge fist, but took out a wallet from his clothes.

Zilai also ordered a small stack of money, handed it to the man, and said:
"Don't gamble anymore. You have a family now. Don't beat your daughter anymore. If you beat her, you won't get back all the money you lost."

The man took the money in surprise. He didn't know what happened for a while. It took a long time to realize it. He quickly bowed and thanked loudly: "Thank you! Thank you!"

Hoshino Shu was a little puzzled, and asked: "Why did you do this, you knew he would definitely bet on it."

"I didn't do it to help that man, but to show that little girl. This little hope can give her the motivation to live, so that she won't give in to the despair of the whole life in the future."

After hearing this, Hoshino Shu blinked, pondered for a while, and said:
"That's right, don't worry about the ones that are already rotten, but you still need to help the ones that are hopeful."

Jilai also rubbed Hoshino Shu's head with his hands: "Actually, if you grow up and say these words, it will be more cute."

"Cut...but I don't think what you're doing is actually useless. It's just a drop in the bucket."

"Ah, I don't know if there is one, I'm just a good person who likes to meddle in my own business, hahaha!" Jiraiya's laughter echoed in the air.

The two walked out of the village entrance and stepped into the wilderness.

After walking for half a day, Hoshinoshu's legs were a little sore, and he happened to come to the pond. The scenery was pleasant, so Zilai also proposed to take a rest.

"Boy, don't you forget the handprints I taught you yesterday?"

"I have been practicing repeatedly on the road, how could I forget."

Jiraiya stood up and put the large scroll behind his back aside.

"That's good." Jiraiya put his hand to his mouth and bit it open, drawing a bloodstain on his hand, and then connecting five seals.

"Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei... This is it!" Hoshino Shu opened his mouth slightly, he was very familiar with this technique.

"Psychic art!" Jiraiya pressed his palms towards the ground, and the black marks immediately spread from the ground.

"Such a big smoke, it seems to be a big guy." Hoshino Shu excitedly waited for the smoke to gradually dissipate.

A toad with a scroll wrapped around its tongue appeared in front of Hoshino Shu, and Jiraiya was standing on top of the toad.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Hoshino Shu couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart.

Sealing, summoning, and the huge psychic toad appearing in the smoke, this is a scene he has imagined countless times before, and now it has come true before his eyes!

Toad's tongue slowly spread out and flattened, and handed the scroll on the tongue to Hoshino tree.

Hoshino Shu took the scroll with both hands, and the heavy feeling of the scroll made him feel a little more uneasy.

"Open the scroll. This is the scroll that we have signed a contract with the toad from generation to generation. Write your name on it with blood, and press the fingerprints of each finger underneath."

Hoshino slowly unfolded the scroll, and the names of the people who had signed the contract before emerged on it. The latest one was Minakaze Minato, and the previous one was Jiraiya.

But there is one thing that Hoshino tree still can't figure out, how did Jiraiya and the others bite off their fingers with only their teeth?
Hoshino Shu still took out a handful of kunai from his clothes, cut his finger with the edge of the blade, knelt on the ground, and wrote his name on the blank space of the scroll.

"The next one is Uzumaki Naruto." Hoshino Shu couldn't wait to meet the prince.

After Hoshino tree pressed his own fingerprints one by one, Jiraiya also continued to say:
"Gather Chakra in the hand that has signed the contract, and then you can summon psychic beasts wherever you want. The seals are Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei."
