Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Chapter 36: Number Seven: Fu - 3

"Thank you for your understanding," Shibuki lifted his head and smiled at him, "Still, I've made sure you won't walk away from here empty handed for your efforts."

He reached into his top and procured two scrolls. One, a standard sealing scroll, while the other, was around double the size and on the rim, depicted the image of a large black fish.

Shibuki placed both scrolls on his desk, "This sealing scroll contains the bounty we placed on my former teacher, one million ryo in total," he explained, before pointing to the fish baring scroll, "This though, this is something that was a gift to Suien by my father, due to him being the strongest shinobi in the village beyond my father, it is one of three contract scrolls passed down in my family, for the Fish Clan, this specific scroll is linked to Rainenmaru, one of the boss summons and the personal summon of Suien, we retrieved the scroll from his body, as a gift, I want you to have it."

Huh.

Well wasn't that something.

"Rainenmaru?" Fu spoke up before he could, tapping her chin in thought, "Isn't that one just like your summon? Can't it like transform into a huge dragon?"

"Yes, all the fish bosses are capable of using the Dragon Transformation technique," Shibuki nodded, "Rainenmaru is tied for the strongest of the clan with my own summon, perhaps even stronger nowadays. Though, he is known for his particularly aggressive personality, he may just attack you if summoned, especially considering you killed Suien."

A million ryo and a fish that could turn into a dragon. Neat. He didn't really need a summoning contract though, he already had one. And he didn't know if signing it would cause issues with the Chameleon clan.

"You didn't happen to find the instructions for that Water Armour jutsu of his did you?" He'd happily take that instead. A dragon summon, technically, sounded fucking cool as shit, and if it could fly, that would be hella-useful, and as a fish originally, it probably had access to water jutsu that would pair well with his lightning jutsu.

But that Water Armour would be a safer bet. Because if it turned out the Chameleon's weren't cool with him signing another contract, he wasn't going to, so it would be useless to him.

Better something he could for sure get use out of himself.

Shibuki snorted, "Heh, if only," the leader of Waterfall shook his head, "It was quite the jutsu wasn't it? If I could spread that jutsu through the village, we'd definitely be able to grow stronger overall, but, sadly, no. Knowing my teacher, selfish as he was, he'd probably have destroyed anything remotely instructional on the technique once he learned it himself."

…Well, that sucked.

Still, it wasn't like what he got was a bad haul or anything.

He wondered idly for a moment, if this Rainemaru would be able to teach that Dragon Transformation technique to Shiromari.

He had mentioned he was born of a union between the snake clan and the chameleons, specifically, his father was actually Manda, in an attempt to breed an actual dragon.

Granted, to do that, he would need to summon Shiromari, and he hadn't really gotten around to trying that out yet.

He may have enough chakra to do so, but he couldn't exactly do that in another village, now could he?

'Hmm…' Daiki thought of the best option to go with here.

His eyes flickered briefly to the girl by his side. That, may be a better option actually. If Fu had a boss summon on her own side, she would have a lot more options if Akatsuki ever came calling.

And he doubted Fu would begrudge him signing it later if things worked out with the chameleon's on that front anyway. "So, I can do what I want with this then?" Daiki asked, picking the fish contract scroll up.

"It's yours to do as you please with." Shibuki confirmed.

"Alright then," Daiki nodded, then turned around and held the scroll out to Fu, "Here, you have it Fu?"

"…..Uh….?" Shibuki trailed off in shock.

"Really!?" Fu's eyes widened with excitement.

"Yeah, I already have a summon contract of my own and I don't know if they'll accept me having another clans contract as well," he shrugged, before smiling at her, "Plus, this Rainemaru guy sounds tough, and I'd feel better knowing you have strong back up like that."

"Yahoo!" Fu accepted the scroll and jumped up and down excitedly, "I always wanted a summon of my own!" she then slammed into his side again, wrapping him in a massive hug.

"Wait, wait wait!" Shibuki spluttered, standing up abruptly, so fast his chair tipped over and hit the ground with a clatter, "Are you sure about this? Rainemaru isn't a weak summon Daiki-san! His scales are so hard normal weaponry can't pierce him, he's faster than Suien was and has many water style techniques, on top of that, upon assuming his dragon form, he can use fire style techniques as well."

Rainemaru really was impressive, huh? Really living up to that boss summon title.

"Yeah, I'm sure of it," Daiki nodded, "Though, I hope you don't mind me coming back for a visit now and then to see Fu."

Shibuki shook his head and sighed, picking up his chair and sitting back down, "Feel free, honestly, if it wasn't due to her status, I'd tell her to go with you and vacation in Konoha, keep her out of my hair for a while," he replied dryly, "Sadly, it's not quite that simple, Iwa barely keep to testing our borders as is, simply because it is known she is always stationed here and they fear the wrath of the Nanabi, if they heard she was staying in Konoha now, especially with how much they hate your village, they'd get paranoid and much more aggressive."

Daiki growled at the mention of them, "Fucking rock humpers," he spat in disgust, "They never learn."

…Okay so maybe he had a grudge against Iwa for the way two fucking grown Jonin had targeted him, a mere rookie genin and murdered him just because he was from the Leaf.

Surprisingly, Shibuki nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I'll have to shake the hand of the Yondaime Hokage when the day comes that I die," he half smirked at the thought, "The only good Iwa ninja, is a dead one as far as I'm concerned."

…Oh yeah, didn't Shibuki's father die because he needed to use the Hero Water to hold off Onoki?

Honestly, suddenly Shibuki seemed much more likeable today.
