Chapter 355: The Art of Spirit Summoning

The lake water was ripped apart as if by an invisible giant hand, rolling back toward both sides.

A massive, hideously fierce beast, covered in a heavy shell and bearing three enormous tails, broke through the lake water and slowly rose.

Hmm, it looked more like a gigantic turtle covered in countless spikes.

Its scarlet eyes, full of fury, locked tightly onto the tiny human on the shore who dared to provoke it!

It was sleeping soundly at the lake bottom, yet that damned human in front dared to disturb its rest—utterly unforgivable!

It must be torn to pieces.

The shadow cast by the massive body of Three-Tails instantly enveloped Lian Ye completely.

The terrifying Tailed Beast pressure surged like a tsunami, overwhelming Lian Ye, dispersing the surrounding mist, yet it had no effect on him.

"Three-Tails, cease any meaningless resistance."

Lian Ye stood silently by the lake, his hood already removed, revealing a stern face.

The three Curved Jewels in his eyes spun rapidly, eventually forming three interlaced black scythes that exuded immense pressure.

It was his first time fighting with the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and he didn't know if its Pupil Power could directly control such a powerful Tailed Beast.

In the original work, Madara Uchiha and Uchiha Obito could do it, so he had no reason not to, but he didn't know how much Pupil Power controlling a Tailed Beast would consume.

He doesn't have the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, so he should use it sparingly whenever possible.

"Roar—!!!"

Three-Tails saw those scarlet eyes, instinctively sensing a massive threat, and let out a deafening roar, the sound wave nearly tearing a person's eardrum.

Lian Ye stood in place, his clothes rustling in the wind, his figure utterly still.

"Noisy beast!"

His purpose today was to capture Three-Tails; he had no intention of communicating with it at all.

He was calculating in his mind how to subdue the Tailed Beast before him with the least Pupil Power consumption.

Forget it, he'll just control it directly with the Kaleidoscope's Pupil Power!

Lest some unforeseen event occur later.

Lian Ye immediately employed a Genjutsu of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan on Three-Tails.

A powerful force burst instantly from Lian Ye's eyes!

It wasn't a physical impact, but an absolute oppression acting directly on mind and soul!

Three-Tails' huge single eye instinctively met Lian Ye's scarlet eyes.

At the instant their gazes met, its enraged expression suddenly froze, and it was instantly stunned in place.

The Kaleidoscope Sharingan possesses absolute power to control Tailed Beasts!

Three-Tails felt an irresistible mental force invade its consciousness, instantly losing control of its body.

It tried to resist, but against the Kaleidoscope's power it was futile.

The Pupil Power of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan is incomparably stronger than that of ordinary Three Tomoe, and under its immense Pupil Power, Three-Tails has no strength to resist.

In the end, Three-Tails settled completely, drifting peacefully on the lake's surface.

Lian Ye slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to the Three Tomoe form, though a line of blood tears slipped uncontrollably from the corners.

"Tsk, the side effects are really huge!"

He raised his hand to wipe away the blood tears, gazed at his bright red palm, and muttered to himself.

Just by using a Genjutsu, his eyes already showed side effects.

He hadn't even used his exclusive eye technique yet.

If he used the exclusive eye technique, the eye consumption would only be greater!

Although he hasn't felt any vision loss yet, it's better not to use it if unnecessary.

Overuse won't just risk blindness; vision decline is inevitable.

Lian Ye lightly leapt, landing on Three-Tails' massive head, looking down at the huge war weapon beneath his feet.

The Genjutsu he just used is enough to control it for a while.

Three-Tails' size is too massive to take it to see Madara Uchiha.

Otherwise, before even leaving Water Country, it would be discovered by Kirigakure Village.

Now he can only use a Spirit Summoning Contract, summoning it later when truly needed.

Lian Ye formed seals with both hands at lightning speed, finally biting his own thumb and smearing the blood onto his palm.

He crouched, pressing his blood‑stained palm forcefully onto Three-Tails' head.

"Spirit Summoning Contract!"

This technique is a Ninjutsu he learned from Madara Uchiha before departing, capable of forcibly establishing a contract.

It was originally used to contract the Nine-Tails.

Contract, forcibly completed!

Thus, Lian Ye finally possessed a Spirit Beast of his own.

A powerful Tailed Beast.

"Awooo—!"

Three-Tails let out an unwilling roar; it had become someone else's contract beast.

That meant it had completely lost its freedom.

"Beast, be honest!" Lian Ye activated the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, using his eye technique again to control Three-Tails.

He guided Three-Tails to dive back into the lake bottom.

After completing all this, Lian Ye gently massaged his sore, swollen eyes, fearing any vision decline.

Fortunately, after two uses, no major problems arose.

Lian Ye let out a sigh of relief, then left the place.

Just a short while after Lian Ye left, several Kirigakure patrol squads hurried over.

"Report back to the Water Shadow Lord, we have found the Three-Tails' habitat."

"The missing Three-Tails has finally been found."

They heard the Tailed Beast's roar and concluded that the Three-Tails was hidden in this lake.

Because Kirigakure Village's Sealing Technique is weak, the previous Three-Tails jinchuriki lost control, and the Three-Tails broke the seal.

At that time, the Second Generation Water Shadow was busy fighting the Second Tsuchikage, and had no time at all to deal with the jinchuriki matter.

When the war ended and the Third Generation Water Shadow took office, the Three-Tails had long disappeared without a trace.

Now that the Three-Tails has finally been located, it naturally must be resealed.

Several Kirigakure ninja hurried back to the Village to report the matter.

A few days later, in a cave.

"Lian Ye, where have you been these past days?" Senju Hashirama asked curiously.

He had just returned after escorting the Mito Clan, when he discovered Lian Ye was gone.

He asked Madara, but he didn't tell him.

Lian Ye awkwardly scratched his head, not knowing whether to tell Uncle Hashirama the truth.

Since Lord Ban didn't say anything, he couldn't say either.

"Kid, did you succeed?" Madara Uchiha ignored Hashirama, looked at Lian Ye and asked.

"It's successful, Lord Ban."

"Then release it," Madara Uchiha said as he walked out of the cave.

"Lian Ye, what are you guys talking about?" Hashirama looked bewildered.

"Uncle Hashirama, you'll find out soon enough."

Lian Ye didn't rush to explain, but followed Madara out of the cave and arrived at an open area.

Hashirama, seeing this, hurriedly followed.

He wanted to see what Lian Ye and Madara had actually done behind his back?

"Here?" Lian Ye asked.

"Hmm," Madara Uchiha nodded, "Release it."

Hearing that, Lian Ye didn't hesitate, bit his finger and performed the Summoning Technique.

"Summoning Technique?" Senju Hashirama looked curious.

He didn't know what spirit beast Lian Ye intended to summon.

Logically, he should only have Dao Ba's spirit beast…

"Summoning Technique: Three-Tails!"
