Sage Mode(1)!!
"Human, put your hand on my body!" - The tiger spoke with some disgust.
Shun didn't mind that, so he placed his hand on the tiger's belly, 'So soft'. - Shun thought
"Tsk!" 'I don't believe it will be this miserable human who will take our clan of Tigers to greater heights.'
"Human, now do the reverse summoning jutsu!" - Tiger spoke quickly.
"What are the signs for this jutsu? And why should I do it?" - Shun asked again
Grrr! "Pig, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Sheep!" "This is the jutsu to find out if you can have a contract with us or not." the tiger said
"Hmm, fine! But don't try to fool me."
Shun then made the seals quickly and slapped his palm on the ground! *POOOOFF*
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;"> </font></font>
A big smokescreen spread out where Shun and the Tiger were. And when the smoke disappeared, there was no one else there.
....
"Congratulations Human, you've passed the test and can sign a summons contract with us The Race of Tigers!."
Shun who was down, quickly got up to see where he was currently.
'A place created by Rikkudou' was Shun's first thought as he laid eyes on the beautiful scene before him.
A large verdant forest, various kinds of flowers and fruit trees, clear lakes and various kinds of animal species, but there were very few tigers here.
Such a place could only be created by Rikkudou!
...
"Human, stop looking with those dirty eyes! Don't scare the animals." - The white tiger cursed again
"hehehe, so when will I meet your elder?" - Shun asked without hesitation
"Our elder is already waiting for you. Let's go so I can get rid of you quickly!" - Tiger said
"Wow" - Shun sighed, then stopped trying to talk to the tiger and just followed him.
The two arrived in a large cave, where there were two giant Tigers guarding the door.
"Human, the wise Tiger is inside. You can go alone from here."
Shun didn't say anything else, just walked calmly to the cave entrance. The two Tigers just watched him curiously and did nothing else.
....
Inside the cave was much more spacious than it looked on the outside, it is also being lit by some strange stones stuck in the walls.
In the center of the cave is something like a giant pillow, and on top of this pillow... a large white tiger with two fangs protruding from the top of its teeth reaching up to its chin is lying down.
"Welcome to my home, Human!" - A calm voice came out of the tiger's mouth
"I know what you want, But you must promise me not to forget this favor you owe!"- The big tiger said
"I, Shun Uchiha, swear never to forget what kindness the tigers do for me!" - Shun promised it no problem
"Good, Good, Good! The big tiger laughed a few times before finally calming down
"Before I talk about learning the wise way, I need to say a few things!" - The big tiger said seriously
"Our sage way is different from others. The others can only maintain for a short period of time without the help of their respective summoned elders!"
"Ours doesn't do this kind of thing, but it's much harder to learn. Before you learn, you need to increase your body strength to a level compared to us tigers."
"Your mental strength must also match the strength of your body, and then you must drink a liter of the blood of the tigers here."
"Your mind must be strong so you can control natural energy."
"Your body must be strong, in order to contain natural energy."
"The liter of blood is optional, it will only help you keep fit longer."
"When do I start?" - Shun was trembling with fear, but even so he didn't back down and agreed to start training.
"Hohoho, we can start right now. Just sign the summons contract with your blood!" - The tiger said as he passed a large scroll to shun
Shun then quickly cut his wrist and proceeded to sign the contract.
It didn't take long, and Shun soon felt a connection with the tigers of this place.
"Well, looks like you got it. We can start your training now." - The tiger spoke with a sadistic smile on his face
Then over the next few days, the place that was once peaceful started to get noisy.
Aaaaah!
Aahh!
Aaaaah!!...
Every day he could only hear the screams coming from the cave where the Sage of Tigers lived..
Every day Shun was beaten in black and blue by the wise tiger.
At first, Shun thought about giving up! But over time, Shun noticed how strong his body was getting. **{No, he didn't become a masochist!!}**
So a year passed. Shun suffered so fucking much this year, but it was worth it.
Now, not even a sharp weapon can cut the skin of Shun's body, maybe if it's chakra it can do some damage, but it will be difficult.
Shun has already improved his body and mental strength this year. Now all that's left is to drink a tiger's blood and learn to control the natural energy.
Sage Tiger is extremely pleased with Shun's progress, so he decided to reward Shun for his efforts.
Using his own claw, the Tiger sage tore a piece of his skin... But instead of red blood coming out like the other animals; Sage Tiger had golden blood, and a sweet smell came from where the blood was falling.
When blood filled a vessel, the wound automatically healed. The tiger then passed the bowl to the shun who is sitting cross-legged on the floor and said,
"Drink it!"
Shun, who still had his eyes closed, took the bowl and began to drink its liquid.
Suddenly, the pain exploded throughout her body, but the pain was no ordinary pain, but bone-cutting pain! Shun took a painful breath, fell to the ground, his body doubled over like a shrimp, with waves of cramps.
This wasn't an illusion, if you could see inside his body then you could see his bones being crushed, and next to each crushed bone, there was a layer of gold wrapped around it. Continuously repairing broken bones, but much slower than damage speed. When the repair was completed, Shun had already passed out.
