Base of Operations

After 'escaping' Ame, we set up camp for the night, which we really needed. I'm pretty sure Hanzo disabled his respirator and poisoned us a little, because we were all feeling like crap the morning after.

Hashirama had to heal us back to health, since he was the only one of us who actually knew anything about medical techniques

We wandered around for a bit inside the land of fire. Visited Tanzaku Gai for a bit, and gambled. Hashirama really is super unlucky - He nearly lost us half our funds from a stupid play in Blackjack our second day there.

The whole group agreed to ban him from going to any sort of casino with team funds.

It was funny seeing him pout the next few days we stayed there whenever he looked at a casino.

After Tanzaku Gai, we went a bit north in the direction of Taki and Tetsu.

We ended up stopping at an open clearing about a mile or two south of Taki and maybe 4 or 5 east of Kusa

It was a great place to set up our base of operations. It had a Waterfall flowing into a lake heading into the forests of the land of fire. It was surrounded by mountains, and other large boulders, which made a great defensive position. I scavenged around the area and found different minerals. Iron, Carbon, Zinc... Overall it was a great spot

"This place is great for a hideout" Hashirama said "If we could dig into the ground here, we'd have the benefit of the surrounding minerals in the area, as well as being able to funnel any attackers through the front door. I could seal this place into a fortress. We'd just need something to dig us out a tunnel.." He trailed off, thinking

I thought too for a bit before my eyes lit up

My summon contract I got with the Alpha Series Big Daddies! The drill on their hands make a perfect tool for digging out large areas, and they are both durable and are capable of being devastating in offensive combat. Combined with the various schematics and blueprints we stole from Ame over the years of their technologically advanced city...

"I got a solution!" I called out to everyone

I pulled out my summon contract from my inventory.

"A summon? What is it a mole or something?" Shinji joked

"No, it's actually a contract for something from another dimension" I explained

"Another dimension" Nanami questioned, her curiosity piqued

"Yeah, this is a contract for a humanoid creature called a 'Big Daddy'" I said "They are armored humans who have been genetically modified to be able to live in deep pressures under the water" I continued. Nanami looked excited and Hashirama just rose an eyebrow "They come equipped with massive drills, perfect for digging out large areas like what you were explaining" I looked towards the wood user "They are also quite durable, and come with different powers and weapons, such as Rivet Guns" Nanami was drooling at this point "and the ability to throw lightning and fire around at will" I could have sworn I hear a few moans at that point... "This is the contract for the Alpha series Big Daddy, who look like big guys in regular diving suits. There are other models such as the Mr. Bubbles - They are short and have a big spherical head with eyes that are layered over its entire helmet, and the Big Sister Class - They come with large needle weapons and they are insanely fast." oh Nanami just fainted, what the hell.

Yahiko fainted when I said 'throw lightning and fire at will' , Nagato had his hands on his face sitting down, Konan just looked at me - I tried to shake her awake but she was basically frozen. I'm pretty sure it was when I explained the Big Sisters - and Shinji had a huge grin on his face, most likely wanting to fight one of them.

Hashirama had a smile on his face "Perfect! I'm sure you know how to sign a summoning contract eh?" I nodded at him and unfurled the contract

It was blank. I guess I'm their first summoner?

[ That is correct host. Every contract gotten from the system gacha or from mission rewards are always blank. Also reminder for host to use his Random Bloodline token. I'm pretty sure you are developing long-term memory loss if you let it sit in your inventory like that for four years, you dumbass]

What the hell system? also I have a Bloodline token? Holy shit I do... I'll do that once I sign the contract I guess

I signed my full name on the contract and put my hand print on the corner and rolled it back up.

'Alright so the handseals for the Kuchiyose are Boar, Dog, Monkey, Bird, RAM!'

"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" I yelled out and slammed my hands onto the ground

There was a poof of smoke before a large humanoid figure appeared accompanied by a large grunt which sounded vaguely like a Whale.

When the smoke cleared, we got a clear view of him. His helmet was rusted over and turned bronze, and it had two tubes coming out of the sides of it going into four multicolored tanks which were hanging on his back, which in turn were feeding tubes into his arms and legs. His front visor was fogged and dark so we couldn't see his face. He stood at around 6'5" with only a drill hanging on his arm for a weapon. He looked like he weighed a ton, and when he stepped towards me, the sounds made with his feet and the imprints made on the ground only cemented that fact

'So you are the one the system told us about hmm?' A voice sounded in my head

They can telepathically speak? That is so cool...

"Yeah that's me, hehe" I told him with a large grin

'Well, we do need a bond if we need live, so we will serve you. what is you name sir?' it asked

"Jack Uzumaki. There's no test or anything like that I need to complete?" I was confused. Didn't the toads have to test Naruto if he was worthy for the right to summon or something like that?

'No, nothing like that. Since you are our first summoner and the wielder of a system, you get special privileges. Even if you look weak now, you will not be 10 years from now' He explained to me

I will take that last part as a compliment...

"Huh, well I summoned you because we wanted to make an underground base here. We thought your drill would be perfect for excavating large areas like that." I said "Do you mind helping us do that?"

'I should be able to do that with a few of my brethren. Do you have any schematics or blueprints for the structure of this area you want?' he asked

"We only have schematics for different inventions stolen from my past home" I said to him, to which he nodded

'I should be able to draw up some plans within the hour with some help. Do you have anyone with you for that?' he asked

"Hashirama!" I called him over

"Yes? What do you need?"

"I need you to help him draw up some plans for the future base. You can talk in other people's minds correct?" I asked the Alpha series

The next moment Hashirama looked surprised for a moment before calming down and walking to a flat area with him to talk

I guess they can talk to other peoples minds then..

'Alrighty then system, you said I had a Bloodline Token?'

[Affirmative Host. Would you like to use it? ]

'Yeah go ahead' I confirmed

[ Drawing Random Bloodline... ]

[ Alert! Host has received Jugo Bloodline! ]

'Aw shit' was my only thought before losing consciousness
