Chapter 433: Side Story Part 13: Redaku Arc: Creation of the Donut Ind


    Rumble rumble BOOM


    Earth trembles beneath Izuna''s Susanoo as he blocks the ck energy projectile with his Yata shield. The water in the gulf has long evaporated as a result of the heat and the force of the sh of many powerful attacks.


    The twoyered elemental shields of the Yata shiel quake and tremble.


    Crack


    Cracks appear on the first shield and after a few seconds, the first energy shield shatters. It absorbs a portion of the energy of the attack prior to its dissipation. The second shield bears the burden and soon crumbles into energy fragments after absorbing another major portion of the ck energy beam.


    HAAAA


    Izuna continues to hold the Yata shield uptight in ce. The impact force behind the beam slowly pushes his Susanoo all the way to the walls of the gulf. Soon, the energy attack dies down with no damage to the Susanoo.


    [He did it!]


    Ryui nods in surprise.


    "He really did it!" Yuri clenches her fist with a smile.


    GYAAAAAHHH


    The eel monsters scream in frenzy at the sight of Susanoo''s feat.


    Huff Huff


    Izuna regtes and breathing and smirks at the remaining hoard of monsters.


    "It''s not over yet!"


    SHOOM


    The eyes of the Yaksha on the Yata shield emit an eerier emerald glow. It slowly cracks open its mouth.


    "Time for payback!"


    "Yata no Kagami: Counter Reflect,"


    A highlypressed dense beam of energy gathers at the mouth of the Yaksha.


    Fwoosh


    Thepressed energy turns into an orb and shoots toward the group of monsters at an incredible speed.


    GYAAAAH. KYAAAA REE.


    The monster roars and screams in fear as they sense the threat of death from this attack. However, Izuna pays no heed to them. As soon as the attack reaches the middle of the hoard, he snaps his finger.


    BOOOMM


    The energy orb explodes into a giant pir of energy and engulfs the surrounding monsters. Most of the monsters frantically attempt to escape from the column of energy. However, the speed of the explosion surpasses their speed and soon the mouth of the gulf, which was tightly packed with the eel monster, is blown away by the explosion.


    GYYYYAAAAAAHHH


    A loud shriek escapes from within the giant pir of energy. The wailing sound is simr to the cacophony of the ughter of a thousand pigs.


    "Tch what a foul scream?"


    Izuna cleans his eardrums with his little finger.


    Rumble.


    Shockwaves travel across the sea. The entire sea bed around the gulf bes devoid of water. Multiple conch shells, skeletons of fishes, broken parts of ships, and even an entire giant boat appear in the waterless area.


    "Is that titanic?" One of the civilians shouts and points toward the broken remains of a giant ship full of seaweed and mold.


    Izuna and the rest of the people turn toward him in surprise.


    "I was just joking!" Hoshi sheepishly scratches his head.


    "Hmm now that you mention it, it does look like titanic." Kei also voices his opinion.


    "Hmm this outline looks simr." A few of the sailors discuss among themselves.


    Izuna dispels his Susanoo andnds beside Yuri.


    "What are these people talking about?" He gazes at the bottomless hole present at the center of the explosion.


    ''So, I have be powerful enough to alter the terrain of the world.


    The powerful sh between him and these monsters has leveled the hills around the gulf. His previous attack even blew a bottomless hole at the previous location of the gulf and shifted the tectonic tes of the area, which resulted in the elevation of the seabed.


    Now, the entire ind looks simr to a donut when viewed from above. Only the rift created by the sh of his sword connects the bottomless hole to the sea.


    "They are talking about the legendary ship that sank a century ago. It was one of the most ambitious projects of our people. However, it was attacked by these eels like the sea monster and met its cruel end."


    "Oh!"


    Izuna turns silent and observes the seawater slowly pouring into the hole through the channel created by his sword.


    "Umm what happened to the Umibozu? Where is it? Did it escape?"


    Yuri bites her lower lips, an act she has been repeating since she met with Izuna.


    "Well, it blew up!"


    ""


    Yuri, Ryui, Akari, and Viktor turn silent at Izuna''s remark.


    "Umm I didn''t expect it to be so weak. It was attempting to fuse with that grotesque mass of flesh; but before it couldplete its transformation, it got blown by my attack."


    Izuna shakes his head in disappointment, as if he was expecting more from the monster.


    ""


    The rest of the Uzu n members silently stare at him.


    [I can''t sense the evil presence of Umibozu or its remnants. It''s dead for good.] Ryui opens her mouth to speak for the first time.


    "YOU CAN SPEAK!" Izuna''s eyes widen for the first time.


    [Of course, I can speak. I have lived with humans for so long that I picked up theirnguage. Also, it''s the power of my summoning contract.]


    "OH!"


    "Fufu" Yuri burst into a chuckle at his shocked expression.


    --------------------


    A weekter,


    In the Uzu npounds,


    "Hmm I have studied the summoning contract between you and Ryui. This contract has multiple ws. I can remove it if you want?" He turns towards Ryui and Yuri.


    "Please improve the summoning contract if possible. The cost to maintain the current summoning contract is too huge." Akari requests him.


    "Very well! You can say this summoning contract is the first of its kind in both the shinobi world and Redaku. After your ancestor, Kenshiro Senju, left this ce, he improved the summoning contract in the shinobi world and removed the blood sacrifice limitation, and reced it with a bit of blood and chakra. Though the duration of summoning is limited by the amount of the user''s chakra. It''s not permanent like your current one."


    Izuna exins the details to them.


    Izuna''s finger flows with bright blue chakra. He taps the summoning contract on Yuri''s hand and extracts it from her body.


    "AH!"


    Both Yuri and Ryui are startled as they lost their connection.


    With glowing hands, Izuna releases the contract in mid-air. He inscribes one fuinjutsu rune after another on the contract seal and soon creates a giant array from the summoning seal. Izuna continues to carve multiple runes in the air and adjusts or removes the previous rune.


    Soon, a giant,plex circr formation appears in the sky of the Uzu n.


    "I have made some improvements to it and modified a few parts and even added a space-time teleportation seal to it. Now you don''t have to continuously supply your blood to the seal to maintain it. The summoning seal will be dormant after you run out of chakra or when you want to dispel the summoning. The drawback is that you won''t be able to maintain your telepathic connection while the seal is in a dormant state. Also"


    Izuna takes out a giant scroll from his storage. He carves multiple Fuinjutsu seals on it and hands it over to Ryui.


    "Infuse your blood and energy in this scroll."


    Ryui follows his instruction and bites one of her flippers. She drops her blood on the scroll.


    "Good!"


    Izuna carves a few more runes on the scroll.


    "Done!"


    Ryui''s body and the scroll shine with a bright light and soon the scroll flies toward her andnds on her back.


    "With this, you can sign a contract with any member of the Uzu n you want. Though the summoner has to meet the minimum criteria of chakra to sessfully summon you."


    Phew


    "With this, my job is done!" Izuna exhales a deep breath.


    "Thank you thank you so much for your help." Akari, Yuri, Viktor, and a few elders of the Uzu n bows to him.


    "It was nothing much!" Izuna shrugs his shoulder.


    These past few days, he was quite busy. On the mayor''s pleading, he terraformed the exposed sea bed part of the ind using his earth release and wood releases to make it suitable for agriculture and other activities.


    He even modified the hole present at the previous location of the gulf and connected it with the sea and filled it with fresh water to make an ind reservoir. He inscribed multiple purifying Fuinjutsu seals at the entrance and exit of the reservoir to convert the sea water into fresh water and salt.


    With this, the biggest problem of Shirodo town was solved. Previously, Ryui and the Umibozu shared space in the gulf. Now, the new reservoir became Ryui''s new house.


    [That monster has gued thisnd for centuries. My husband, Tatsu died while fighting alongside Kenshiro-sama against that monster. He sacrificed his life to seal the monster. Now, the curse iid on thisnd is finally lifted with your aid. I am very grateful for that.] Ryui bows to him. She extends the summoning scroll toward Izuna.


    "I want to sign a contract with you."


    EEEEPP.


    A small plesiosaur leaps out from a pocket around her waist and curiously walks towards Izuna.


    EEEEEPPP


    It nudges its neck against Izuna and points one of its flippers toward the summoning contract.


    [Ryu! This kid!]


    Izuna and the rest are startled by the appearance of a small plesiosaur.


    [I am very sorry for his rudeness. He is still a kid.]


    Hmm


    Izuna inspects the small plesiosaur with his Sharingan.


    "How is he a kid? He is around 300 years old."


    [We have a different life spanpared to humans. Our species lives for two thousand years and the egg incubates and hatches after 200 years. So, in human terms, Ryu is still a kid.]


    EEEEPPP


    Ryu licks Izuna''s face. Izuna strokes Ryu''s head and forms a summoning contract with him. He turns towards the Uzu n members.


    "Looks like it''s time for me to leave."
