Naruto - The Wind Calamity (2)

Chapter 219 : This World is Freakishly Scary!

Fujin's eyes widened and a stunned expression could be seen on his face as he saw the hyena's actions. After looking at each other, every hyena nodded and looked at Fujin with a fierce expression. However, at the very next moment, every single hyena escaped in different directions as fast as they could move at the same time!

Merely in a couple of seconds, they escaped Fujin's range of sight and soon after they escaped Fujin's chakra field, leaving him standing alone with the remains of a dead hyena.

After a few seconds of disbelief, Fujin sighed and muttered, "Such shameless beasts!"

Despite what he said, he couldn't help but think that they would have been the perfect summons for him.

He looked at the dead hyena and thought, 'It looks like there are only these 16 hyenas here. The mountains shouldn't have any more hyenas. Even if they do, considering that I have killed one of them, I don't think I'd be able to sign a contract.

He sealed the dead body of the hyena in a scroll while thinking, 'In my previous life, I recall reading a lot of fantasy books that stated that eating the meat of strong beasts was very helpful for developing a stronger physique and improving aptitude or energy. I wonder if it also applies here. I know eating Kurama's meat can provide a lot of benefits. I wonder if the same also applies to summoning animals. It'd be very helpful if my flesh became as sturdy as his and my Lightning affinity improved.'

He made a hand sign and cancelled his jutsu and returned to his basement.

He left his house and went to a store from where he had previously bought recipes. The shopkeeper looked at him and politely asked, "How can I help you?"

Fujin asked, "Do you have a recipe for cooking hyenas?"

The old shopkeeper looked at Fujin with a weird expression. Fujin ignored it and asked, "Do you?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Wait a few minutes." He began searching through his records and finally found what Fujin was looking for.

After searching for the book, he returned and handed it to Fujin and said, "Surprisingly I do have one. It also involves details of how to properly clean it."

Fujin thanked the old man and paid for the book before leaving. He cleaned and prepared the hyena's flesh for a few hours before cooking some of it and storing the rest in the fridge.

As he ate, he noticed, 'Hmm, there is not much difference in taste as compared with goat meat.'

Fujin spent the next few days resting and eating the hyena's meat. However, he was disappointed as he didn't notice any change after 3 days. He thought, 'What a bummer. I haven't felt any improvement in my physique or the power of my Lightning jutsus. I guess only the flesh of tailed beasts will provide benefits.

Though it makes sense I suppose. I doubt I am the first one to eat an animal that can use chakra and an element. If it did provide any benefits, this would have been common knowledge and every clan would be procuring such meat to strengthen themselves. I'm sure summoning animals would have already gone extinct by now due to everyone's greed.'

Having had enough rest, Fujin prepared himself for another attempt to get a summon. He ate a soldier pill and used the summoning jutsu.

He disappeared from his basement. Unlike his previous three attempts where Fujin appeared a bit high in the air, this time he felt something around him. He felt a massive pressure on him and his clothes and body got wet instantly.

Fujin opened his eyes to see that he was underwater! In front of him was a giant wall or an underwater mountain! Multiple small and colorful fishes were swimming around him. Fujin immediately held his breath and cursed in his mind, 'Shit!'
