Chapter 50 Crimson Uchiha

When Logan saw the words 'Summoning Technique', he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have a Summoned Beast yet.

'This is actually a good way to improve my strength.' Logan thought to himself as he stepped forward and pulled out the scroll that introduced Summoning Technique from the bookshelf.

"Boar - Dog - Bird - Monkey - Ram." Logan looked at the contents on it and quietly recited the hand seals for Summoning Technique. He naturally knew about Summoning Technique from the original work, as many famous battles involved it. However, reading the scroll now would provide more detailed information.

'If I learn Summoning Technique, who should I make a contract with? Beautiful girl?' Logan pondered, but halfway through his thought, he couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.

Summoning Technique could also be considered a form of Space-Time Ninjutsu, divided into blood contract summoning and non-blood contract summoning. The former involved summoning various creatures to assist Ninjas in battle by signing a blood contract, and the size of the summoned creature and the amount of Chakra consumed were also related to the Ninja's own Chakra. And the Summoned Beasts of Sannin, Gamabunta, Manda, and Katsuyu, are very famous.

As for the latter summoning, it involved summoning objects stored elsewhere to fight, such as Tenten's summoning scrolls. Additionally, it's said that Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique also utilized Summoning Technique's principles.

The summoned creatures under a blood contract varied in strength. If Logan were to learn this technique, he would naturally want to make a contract with a powerful Summoned Beast.

Although a lot of summoning creatures could be very useful in outside battles, like Kakashi's Ninken, Logan felt it wasn't necessary. If he were to do it, he would strive for the best. If he randomly finds a creature to sign a blood contract, Logan would definitely not be satisfied, especially since weaker Summoned Beasts were not as effective in battle, and it would only create more concerns for him.

"Where can I find a powerful Summoned Beast to make a contract with..." Logan felt troubled.

The renowned powerful Summoned Beasts in the Ninja World are naturally located in three unexplored sage regions, but signing a contract there was not as simple as it seemed. Logan didn't have the connections for that, as he wasn't acquainted with anyone.

'Forget it, I'll think about it later.' After considering it for a long time, Logan could only set aside the idea of Summoning Technique for now. After all, it there wasn't a suitable option, it would be better not to do it at all.

Putting down the scroll of Summoning Technique, Logan turned his attention back to studying Fire Release and Genjutsu.

…

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

Outside Konoha Village, in the open space where Logan often practiced, a long line of fire shot up into the sky.

The flames erupted fiercely, twisting and transforming into a ferocious fire dragon in the air. The body of the flame dragon, over ten meters wide, roasted the air until it distorted. With imposing momentum, the blazing fire dragon lunged forward——

"Phew."

The Dragon Fire Technique was destined to miss its target, as Logan had no intention to destroy the vegetation and burn the grasslands. After experiencing the power of this Fire Release Ninjutsu, Logan dispersed his chakra.

The air is filled with a burning smell that has not dissipated. This B-Rank Ninjutsu is actually an enhanced version of the Great Fireball Technique. It used high-intensity Chakra to form a fire dragon to attack the enemy. It was said that if used well, it could even split into several fire dragons, all of which could be controlled by the caster.

Although Logan's Fire Attribute Chakra's control was not as good as his control over Lightning Attribute Chakra, he is still at the level of a Jonin. It only took him a few days to be able to use this technique freely.

It was simple to execute and powerful in effect. Logan's current preferred method of attack was straightforward and efficient, with absolutely devastating killing power. However, he still wanted to have more techniques. With his expertise in Taijutsu and Lightning Release, it is hard to advance their level, and he's also lacking talent in Genjutsu, so this was still better than nothing.

As the undercurrent of the atmosphere in the village still made him feel a little stressed.

…

In the Konoha's Year 56th, the once glorious and honorable Uchiha Clan would soon become history.

Inside a rundown tavern in a narrow alley of Konoha, a man wearing a vortex mask sat in a dark corner, quietly drinking.

Even though it was daytime, the lighting in the tavern was as dark as night. The only staff member present was the owner, who sat dozing off behind the bar counter.

Obito tasted the inferior sake he had just drunk. It was mixed with many impurities, the worst quality sake. He glanced at the indifferent furnishings inside the tavern and shook his head, 'This place probably wouldn't last long before closing down.'

"It seems you've mentally prepared yourself well. The extermination of the clan will begin tonight, yet you're still in the mood to drink in this dump." A strange figure emerged from the ground, with half of its distinctive black and white bodies exposed, while the lower half remained underground. White Zetsu suppressed his voice and teased Obito, who was drinking in the corner.

Black Zetsu remained silent, quietly observing everything. His pitch-black body completely hidden in the darkness. If it weren't for his yellow eyes, it would have seemed like there's only terrifying half of body there.

Of course, Zetsu's body, which is composed of black and white halves, was already quite unsettling...

"Heh." Obito poured himself another glass of sake. The owner in the distance remained oblivious to what was happening here, "They are just a group of people who are corrupt, ignorant, and narrow-minded."

After saying so lightly, Obito paused for a moment before saying, "Before the extermination plan begins, we're going to visit someone."

"Oh, is it that guy Raiden Hattori. He's very fast. He almost destroy your heart last time in Amegakure, right?" White Zetsu, as if knowing everything, said. His ability to hide and gather information could be said to be the best in the Ninja World. He had always been responsible for intelligence work within Akatsuki and was well aware of some of Obito's plans.

Obito neither confirmed nor denied it, "The organization still lacks skilled individuals."

Having been brainwashed by Madara's rhetoric, he also considered himself as inheriting the latter's will. Starting from a wrong starting point, he planned for peace.

Coming to Konoha this time, besides helping Itachi exterminate the clan and accepting him into the organization, he also had the intention of finding Logan.

Obito thought of the rainy night in the woods outside Amegakure. In addition to the pair of young Mangekyo, what impressed him deeply was the dazzling and resolute roar of thunder.

'After tonight, Itachi Uchiha would join the Akatsuki. What about you, Raiden Hattori?'

"The sky is getting dark." Through the dim light, Obito saw the light at the door gradually blended with the interior, as if white light was being tainted by darkness. He stood up, threw a few coins on the table, pulled down the hood of his cloak, and disappeared into the dusk enveloping Konoha.

"Uchiha..."
