Chapter 93: Slug Sage / Lady Katsuyu.
The fastest update for the latest chapters of I'm Playing Ninjutsu in Jujutsu Kaisen!
Here is the English translation:
As the iron gate opened, Manda's form was revealed. Its black and purple-streaked body was coiled together, horns on its forehead suggesting it was about to transform into a dragon.
Hearing someone open the gate, Manda slowly shifted its body. Its emerald green snake pupils stared intently at the person who entered, but its voice was not as loud as before. It asked, "What are you doing in here?"
"A contract."
Tatsuro got straight to the point. "I want to make a contract with you."
"Scram! This old man will never yield to a little brat like you."
Manda cursed and then closed its eyes. The iron chains binding it were incredibly sturdy; it didn't know what they were made of. Even more terrifying was that the Tailed Beasts were also suppressed here.
It made him not even dare to speak loudly.
"Then goodbye."
Tatsuro, seeing this fellow was incredibly strong, didn't want to waste any more time. He had only opened the gate because he had forgotten what this creature looked like and just wanted to see it.
"Close the gate."
With a soft command, the iron gate began to close. Manda opened one eye, staring intently at the young man's departing back until the gate was shut.
He had just walked to the next iron gate, before even speaking, when a female voice came from within, "You want to make a contract, right? Please make a contract with me. It's really too boring staying here. You can let me out to chat with someone, anything is fine."
"And you are?"
"I am the Slug Sage. Although I don't know why I don't feel hungry, it's really too boring here. Please, make a contract with me."
Tatsuro placed his hand on the iron gate and said, "Open sesame."
As the iron gate opened, a slug, tens of times larger than Manda, appeared before his eyes. It wasn't bound by iron chains, but by a somewhat transparent rope.
Seeing the visitor, the Slug Sage quickly said, "Please, you must make a contract with me! If I stay here any longer, I'll die of boredom! I know some healing nin... healing... healing... techniques? Huh! Why is there such a sense of dissonance? I feel like I've forgotten something."
Seeing the Slug Sage's puzzled look, Tatsuro knew it was the system's doing. It had probably erased memories of the ninja world and forcibly inserted jujutsu world theory to prevent her from saying anything inexplicable.
"It's 'Reverse Cursed Technique.' Don't think about it too much. Lower your head; I'll sign a contract with you," Tatsuro reminded her.
"Oh! So it was 'Reverse Cursed Technique'? Look at my memory. Quickly, make a contract with me and let me out!"
The Slug Sage couldn't bear to stay in this dark space for another second. Although this kid couldn't summon her main body out, just a small slug would do. Their visions were shared, which was much better than staying here.
Tatsuro jumped onto the Slug Sage's head, bit his index finger, and wrote his name on its head. The moment the name was written, the somewhat transparent rope that had bound the Slug Sage instantly vanished. The blood contract was complete.
"Alright, the contract is complete." Tatsuro patted the Slug Sage's head and said, "I won't close the gate. I'll summon you out later."
"Okay, don't make me wait too long. By the way, can I call you Tatsuro-kun?"
"Mm, you can."
Tatsuro jumped down from the Slug Sage. He really hadn't expected this blood contract to be so simple. He also hadn't expected this Slug Sage to be such a chatterbox, the type who would die if she didn't find someone to talk to.
Let's see if there are any other similar summoning beasts. This one is only suitable for support.
He didn't know how long he walked, but not a single summoning beast responded to Tatsuro's call; they all seemed to have fallen silent. And the corridor seemed endless. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Tatsuro finally reached the end.
A giant red iron gate blocked his path. The sound of breathing occasionally came from within. Tatsuro recalled being rebuffed by a single roar before and swallowed nervously.
He placed his hand on the iron gate and said, "Open."
"Voom!"
The giant iron gate slowly opened. Kurama, who was sleeping inside, slowly opened his eyes. His crimson, slitted pupils stared intently at the visitor, his nine tails pulling at massive iron chains.
Tatsuro slowly spoke, "Hello, Kurama. My name is Tatsuro."
"...Weakling."
Kurama merely glanced at him, saw how pitifully weak he was, and paid him no more attention, closing his eyes to go back to sleep.
"..."
Tatsuro knew he wasn't welcome. He cleared his throat once and continued, "Ahem! Um... could you listen to me for a moment? I want to make a contract with you."
"Brat! Don't disturb this old man's sleep!"
Seemingly extremely annoyed, Kurama suddenly erupted. His crimson, slitted pupils stared intently at the impudent brat before him. His mouth opened, and a black sphere slowly condensed.
"Holy crap! Tailed Beast Bomb! Close the gate!"
Tatsuro waved his hand forcefully, and the iron gate slowly began to close. Before the gate was completely shut, a pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb instantly tore through the air, shooting out from the side.
Tatsuro was so scared his pupils constricted. This Tailed Beast Bomb shot straight down the long corridor.
The Slug Sage, who was strolling in the corridor, sensed something rapidly approaching and turned to look. Seeing it was a Tailed Beast Bomb, she cried out in surprise, "Heavens! Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Her massive body then quickly split into countless small slugs, all flattening themselves on the ground to dodge the attack.
Since this Tailed Beast Bomb was fired quickly, Kurama hadn't infused much cursed energy into it. It merely created a twenty-meter-high mushroom cloud before fizzling out.
(PS: Chakra is all converted to cursed energy; otherwise, having two energy systems in one world would be the death of the author writing it.)
"Hmph, it actually missed." Kurama grumbled and then went back to sleep.
Tatsuro himself had already exited the scroll's interior. Lying on his bed, he exclaimed loudly, "Ah! That scared me to death! My brain didn't react; I actually didn't exit immediately. I almost ate my first Tailed Beast Bomb in my life."
Shura, who had already prepared its goat milk, saw its master suddenly lying on the bed shouting and thought its master was hungry. It asked, "Want to drink some goat milk together?"
Hearing Shura's words in his mind, Tatsuro responded, "Thanks, but no need. You drink it yourself."
He then remembered the matter of summoning the Slug Sage, stood up, and sighed deeply. Looking at the 'Universal Summoning Scroll' on the bed, he bit his right thumb, dripped blood onto the "Summoning" characters on the scroll, quickly formed hand seals, then splayed his right five fingers, placed them on the scroll, and shouted, "Summoning Technique! Come out, Slug Sage!"
The system panel popped up.
[Summon Complete Body Slug Sage: 40 points, 8000 cursed energy.]
...
[Summon 50% Slug Sage: 20 points, 4000 cursed energy.]
...
[Summon 1% Slug Sage: 4 points, 800 cursed energy.]
...
[Recommended for Host: Summon 0.01% Slug Sage, 1 point (forced consumption), 80 cursed energy.]
"..."
Tatsuro looked at the system panel, couldn't help but lament that he was a major weakling; all his cursed energy could only summon this 1%.
But he quickly came to terms with it. After all, she was tens of times larger than Manda. And she was a Sage-level being; it wouldn't be right if she could be summoned so easily.
He then chose to summon the 0.01% sized Slug Sage. With a "poof," a cloud of white smoke appeared, and the Slug Sage's gentle voice emerged, "Wonderful, I've finally left that dark space! That Tailed Beast Bomb just now was too terrifying. If that hit someone, wouldn't they lose more than just a layer of skin?"
...
"A Sage is a Sage for a reason. If that hit me, I wouldn't just lose skin; I'd be sent straight to the afterlife."
Tatsuro complained internally.
