I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Ye Lan then chatted with Mei Terumi about some information about the members of Akatsuki. Each member was not a simple character, and he also unexpectedly learned the whereabouts of Hoshigaki Kisame.

"This guy took the village's Samehada sword and disappeared without a trace. It turns out he has joined Akatsuki." Mei Terumi's face was full of displeasure when mentioning Hoshigaki Kisame. Among the seven ninja swords, Samehada has unique abilities. If the user is in harmony with it, their strength can be greatly enhanced. Also wandering around are the beheading sword and the thunder sword.

Fortunately, the Thunder Blade has now returned, and the whereabouts of the Beheading Blade has also been learned from Ye Lan. As long as the Samehada Blade is recovered, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen can be re-established.

Ye Lan and Asuma finally confirmed with Mei Terumi that the two villages would share information about Akatsuki just like the Sand Village. After all, it was a nuclear weapon involving the tailed beasts and should not be taken lightly.

After finally discussing everything, Ye Lan and Asuma said goodbye to Mei Terumi. As long as they returned to the village, their mission would be over, but they paid the price with the lives of two Konoha ninjas.

"Are we about to go back to the village?" Sasuke has almost recovered and is now having dinner with Ye Lan in a restaurant in Kirigakure. Although it is a restaurant, there are not many customers coming and going, and the boss is not as enthusiastic as the one in Konoha. After the chaos, it is unknown how many years it will take for this village to recover.

"We probably have to wait a few days. Ino and the others' injuries haven't healed completely yet. Asuma, Shikamaru and the others still need to discuss some details with the people from Kirigakure." Ye Lan frowned as he looked at the food on the table, which was either fish or seafood. Eating this kind of food every day made him miss the food of Konoha.

"Well... I've decided." For Sasuke, as long as the food is not too bad and can fill his stomach, it's fine. Except for sweets, he is not picky.

"I want to practice the natural energy you mentioned."

Ye Lan picked up a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. Then he looked at Sasuke's calm expression with some satisfaction. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he still wanted Sasuke to learn this power in his heart. If nothing else, it would at least reduce the side effects of the Mangekyō.

"Then come with me." Ye Lan put down the cup, turned around and left the restaurant. Seeing this, Sasuke followed him.

Ye Lan came to the outside of the Hidden Mist Village. The Hidden Mist Ninjas saw him but did not stop him or ask him any questions. Presumably, Terumi Mei also greeted him. Not long after, Ye Lan came to an open space and stopped.

Ye Lan turned around, took out a scroll from somewhere, and handed it directly to Sasuke. Sasuke took it and asked with some confusion.

"Is this a scroll for cultivation?"

"No, this is the summoning scroll of the Thunder Falcon clan. I made it myself. I am the only summoner in their clan now. Now add your name on it." If one wants to cultivate natural energy, one must have a summoning beast that has also cultivated to watch over him at the beginning. Once Sasuke makes this choice, he will hand the summoning scroll to Sasuke.

"Thunder Falcon? The same big bird as last time?" Sasuke's eyes were fiery. Summoning beasts like this were hard to come by. There were not many people in the ninja world who owned one. Today, Ye Lan gave it to him.

"Don't be happy too soon. With your current chakra, you can't summon Po Jun even if you drain it. The only ones who can summon now are other Thunderbirds. But it should be enough to help you cultivate natural abilities." Ye Lan poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Moreover, psychic animals have their own tempers. If they don’t approve of someone, they may not help you even if they can communicate with you.

Sasuke didn't care too much. Even if he couldn't do it now, it didn't mean he couldn't do it in the future. As long as he signed the contract, he would have an extra trump card in the future. He directly opened the scroll and signed his name.

"Okay, try to see what you can summon. Don't hold back. Use as much chakra as you have." After Sasuke signed his name and pressed his hand seal, Ye Lan put away the scroll. This thing must be kept well, as it might become a family heirloom in the future.

"Summoning jutsu." Sasuke had seen the hand seals of the summoning jutsu many times. With his Sharingan, he had copied it a long time ago, but he had no suitable summoning beast so he could not use it. Now after signing the contract, he bit his finger and pressed it to the ground.

Black lines instantly covered the entire place, and a puff of smoke made it difficult for Sasuke to see what was inside. The chakra that was suddenly extracted was a little excessive, causing his body to feel a little uncomfortable. The shaking ground at this moment almost made him fall.

Shaking ground? Sasuke suddenly felt something was wrong. The smoke finally dispersed and what came into view was a Thunder Falcon with the size of two or three adults. It was not as huge as Pojun, and its blue fur was darker than Pojun's. It was staring at Sasuke with a pair of sharp eyes.

Seeing that he had opened his Sharingan and stared at the Thunder Falcon without showing any weakness, Sasuke knew that he must not show any weakness in the first battle.

Seeing the Sharingan in Sasuke's pupils, the Thunder Falcon showed an expression of "as expected" like a human, and uttered human words.

"Ye Lan, why do you sign a contract with others so casually? Have you forgotten the conditions you promised to our clan?"

Ye Lan, who had been silent, also opened his mouth at this moment: "Qisha, you are still the same. I didn't expect that it was you who was summoned by Sasuke. Sasuke's current strength is indeed not strong enough, but he is still my clan member after all. I still have high hopes for his talent."

"I can see that, but this kid is far worse than you were before!" The Thunder Falcon named Nanashi shook his body, and Sasuke, who was unsteady on his feet, was about to fall. Sasuke simply leaned down and grabbed Nanashi's back tightly with both hands. He knew that once he fell, this summoned beast would no longer recognize him.

Not to mention helping me fight in the future, I can't fall down no matter what the reason is.

Qi Sha didn't expect that Sasuke would not give up, so he flapped his wings and flew into the sky. He wanted to use the high-altitude air currents and his own speed to throw Sasuke down. As for other moves that used natural energy, Qi Sha had not yet used them.

Ye Lan looked up at Qi Sha who was spinning and tumbling in the air, but he didn't care too much. If he wanted to truly gain the recognition of the summoned beast, he had to pass this level. Even if he had powerful strength and could use it by force, most summoned beasts would not try their best.

This state lasted for more than an hour, and Qi Sha did not stop. Sasuke on his back had turned pale, and the churning in his stomach made him want to vomit. Looking at Sasuke in poor condition, Qi Sha turned around and said.

"Boy, if you can't hold on any longer, come down quickly. I have to go back and continue my training. I don't have time to fool around with you here."

Right now, the three-magatama Sharingan in Sasuke's eyes stared at the sharp eyes of Qi Sha. Uchiha's natural talent for illusion was revealed at this moment. Qi Sha's speed suddenly dropped, and some confusion appeared in his eyes.

Just when Sasuke thought he had succeeded, Qi Sha suddenly came to his senses and instantly recovered, saying with disdain: "Your Sharingan is far inferior to Ye Lan's. I have experienced illusions before."

Ye Lan has been observing this falcon silently. According to the clan relationship of human beings, Qi Sha and Po Jun can be regarded as distant cousins. However, Qi Sha is much younger than Po Jun and his strength is not as strong as Po Jun now. In other words, he still has a lot of room for improvement.

When Ye Lan first saw Qi Sha, it was only the size of an adult. After all these years, it has made considerable progress.

"Well, how about this move?" Sasuke also became ruthless. After evolving into three magatama, he actually had more chakra in his body than Ye Lan had imagined. After squeezing out the last bit of chakra, Sasuke's body was filled with lightning, and his self-created Chidori Style appeared in front of the world for the first time.

Seeing Sasuke covered with lightning all over his body, Qi Sha was a little amazed. He didn't expect that this kid, who was as young as Ye Lan, could create such a ninjutsu. Although it was a little immature, it also showed Sasuke's extraordinary potential.

Sasuke put his hands on Qi Sha's back, letting the electric current spread throughout Qi Sha's body. He wanted to paralyze the opponent and force him to stop.

But at this moment, a layer of lightning also appeared on Qi Sha's body, which was much brighter than Sasuke's Chidori Style. He said happily: "Boy, didn't Ye Lan tell you that our Thunder Falcon clan is born to live in the storm? In my eyes, your lightning is not even an appetizer."

As Qi Sha spoke, his entire body flashed with lightning, and he seemed to have turned into a bolt of lightning in the sky. The whole sky seemed to be filled with the sound of thunder, and even ordinary people in the distance looked up, thinking that it was going to rain heavily.

"Ah..." Sasuke couldn't hold on any longer. How could a human body resist the lightning? Moreover, he had no chakra left in his body and was severely exhausted. He fainted on the spot and fell directly from the back of Qi Sha.

Ye Lan looked at Sasuke falling from a high altitude unmoved. Just as he expected, Qi Sha only stayed in the air for a moment before flying under Sasuke, holding him on his back, and then slowly landed.

Ye Lan walked to Qi Sha and Sasuke, and saw that Sasuke was fine. Qi Sha was still able to grasp the situation well and did not hurt Sasuke too much.

"Ye Lan, is this also part of your purpose?" Qi Sha was silent for a moment and then asked directly. It was unclear whether he was asking about Sasuke or something else.

"If you think so, then that's it." Ye Lan said casually, not caring about Qi Sha's question at all.

"I've heard what Brother Pojun told me about the Uchiha clan. What exactly do you want to do?" Qi Sha asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Pojun is such a chatterbox...what I do depends on what the other party does. You know my Seven Kills." Ye Lan murmured.

"Do you really need revenge? Although I am not human, I can feel that your clan's affairs are not that simple..."

"Revenge?" Ye Lan interrupted Qi Sha, "Maybe. If someone slaps me and I slap him back, that's not called revenge. That's called fairness. Only when I kick him twice, that's called revenge."

Ye Lan picked up the already asleep Sasuke and said, "Do you know why we knew each other the earliest, but I prefer to get along with Pojun?"

Qi Sha was silent. It was the first thunderbird to see Ye Lan, but Ye Lan had never communicated with it. To be honest, it was impossible for it to have no grudges in its heart.

"Because no matter what I do, Pojun will support me and never think too much." Ye Lan only left a lonely back for Qi Sha. He didn't trust anyone on this road.
