The Wolf is Hunting

Lycan and I have been tracking Inabikari for the whole day. Lycan's exhausted with running the whole day that I decided to rest for the night.

"Lycan thank you for doing this for me. I know that I've been selfish for pushing you to run the whole way. I'm also sorry for involving you on my pursuit." I said.

"It's alright Daisuke. To be honest with you, I'm quite happy that I've been of use to you this time Daisuke. You summon Mia for sending important messages and you've summoned Mamoru to battle Orochimaru and Manda. I've been your first summon but you've had to rely on the other wolf for help." He said.

"No Lycan, it's my fault. I don't even know how powerful you are nor I don't know anything about you. You've been helping me since the day that we've met, but I haven't even tried to know you." I said.

"No Daisuke, it's fine. That's the normal way Humans interact with their summons. You don't need to be sorry." He said.

"But I don't want to be the same with the other summoners that only treat summons as their tool or aid. When you've accepted me as your Summoner you've done everything to help me. You even accepted Carrot in Tsuki Mountain. I stand as the Alpha Wolf in this case and all of you are in my pack. So it's only natural for me to understand you all better." I said.

"Well I hate to break the atmosphere but you're not my Alpha Daisuke." He jokingly said.

"Har Har Lycan, well you can go for now Lycan so you can rest. I can handle this for now." I said.

"It's okay Daisuke, I can hide and rest in your Shadow." He said, and then he sank in my shadow.

After Lycan hid in my Shadow I then started making a camp. I created fire and drank water from my canteen. After that, I made sure to hide somewhere no one can see me while I sleep.

I prepared camp for about an hour and summoned rations from my storage scroll. I then called Lycan so we can have dinner together.

"Ne, Lycan. You're the Great Grandson of the Great Wolf Sage right?" I asked.

"Yes Daisuke, Aragorn-Ojisan is my Great Grandfather." He answered.

"So how old are you if you're the Great Grandson of the Sage?"

"I'm quite young for a Summon Wolf Daisuke. You, humans, tend to live for about 60-80 years of age, while us Summons live for about 300-500 years of age. I'm currently 52 years old Daisuke while Mia is around 44 but don't tell her that I told you, okay!" He said while I had a mischievous smile on my face.

Lycan just sweatdropped at the possible blackmail I can use at him.

"So you're like a kid or a teenager wolf?" I asked.

"Well, we just call 100 years old and below Young Wolves while 200 and below are the Chief Wolves like Mamoru. The wolves that are older than 200 are what we call Elders and the Wolf Sage." He said.

"Lycan, do you also have a lightning-based attack or just the shadow blending?" I asked.

"Yes, all of the wolves in our tribe can use lightning as their source of defense. Before the 2 of us were born and Aragorn-Ojisama and the Elders were still young wolves, there were a lot of territory wars in the Land of Summons. The Wolf clan wasn't really strong per se back then but they're always the sneaky one." He said.

I nodded at him and he continued his speech.

"Then when they were attacked by the Old Lion Clan, the wolf sage back then tapped on to the Nature Chakra of the world and he was able to create a way to manipulate it and turn it to a powerful purple lightning. The clan won the battle because of Yami Sama the Wolf Sage. But during the battle, Yami sama was greatly injured. He was only able to teach the clan the way to create lightning for about 6 years, then after that, he died." Lycan told the History of his clan.

"I just want to ask Lycan. Do summon animals rarely use Elemental Manipulations?" I asked.

"No Daisuke. Summon animals can also do Elemental Jutsus. Our Shadow Blending Techniques are Yin Release. Wolves' are usually born with Yin Release and Lightning Release. I can manipulate Yin Release, Lightning Release and a low talent for Earth Release." He answered.

"So that's why Carrot can use lightning manipulation. She once watch me train in secret and she was able to generate lightning all over her body." I said.

"Well, the Wolpertinger clan is famous for their Lightning and Wind Release manipulation. They can even combine them to generate the Kekkei Genkai: Swift Release." Lycan said.

"Wow." I said in amazement.

'That was mind-blowing.' I thought.

"Last question, if you're 52 years old now, when will you grow up as big as Mamoru?" I asked.

"Ohhh, our size transition happens when we get to age 55. So don't you worry, I would be able to battle large summons in 3 years' time." He replied

Lycan and I chatted for about an hour more before we decided to rest for the evening.

I was the one who first slept for about 4 hours, while Lycan was on guard duty. Lycan then slept on my shadow for about 3 hours while I try to catch fish for our breakfast.

After we ate our breakfast when Lycan woke up, we then went on our way to track our target Inabikari.

Lycan said that we were closing on our target and he can smell Inabikari's fresh scent in the air.

After following the scent for about an hour or so, Lycan finally caught him on his radar. He is 1 mile away from our position and he seems like he was resting.

I then checked my equipment one last time before I rushed in his location with Shukuchi and then Lycan hid in my Shadow.

When we arrived at an open field, I hid my presence a 100 meters away from him.

Inabikari was currently changing his injury's bandages that he got from Itachi nii.

"That damned Ninja! I was about to have some fun with those Konoha Ninja sluts before he...…" He wasn't able to finish his words because I appeared before him and aimed a slash to his chest.

He wasn't a High A rank Missing nin for a show because he was able to dodge the slash by using his left hand to capture my Katana.

Holding my Katana was a wrong move for him because it was cloaked with Wind Chakra and his hand was sliced apart from his arms.

He then jumped back and pulled his hands.

"You B*stard!!!!" He yelled while he pulled a Kunai from his waist and rushed at me while coating it with a Black Lightning.

I heightened my senses when he rushed me and I dodge his strike. He wasn't able to use his Jutsus since I was able to cut off his hand so he just wildly attacked me.

I can see that he wasn't very proficient with Taijutsu. Yes, he is fast. He can use a bastardized lightning cloak just like the Raikage. But with my heightened senses and fast reaction speed, I was able to dodge every strike that he threw at me by using my Shukuchi.

After I finally decided that it was time to finish the fight, I then whistled.

He was confused by my sudden whistle but as he was about to rush me again, a huge shadow appeared behind him.

Lycan then bit him on his right shoulder and released a massive amount of purple lightning.

I then used Shukuchi in front of him and slapped a Chakra Restriction Seal in his forehead.

"Well, that seal Inabikari is a Restriction Seal that I recently created. I combined the chakra storing seal, paper bomb seal and a trigger seal for that masterpiece. The restriction seal absorbs your chakra and store it into a compressed ball inside your body. If you use your chakra the trigger will activate and then Boooooom. So please use your chakra so I can see a fine piece of art, then I can finally go home." I said.

"You little piece of shit. Don't you know who I am? I am Inabikari of the Storm Release. If you don't release me this instant, I will kill you and everyone that you love!" He said while just kneeling there while Lycan is still holding him in place.

I then raised my Katana to the air while I generated a huge amount of Lightning Chakra in it.

"No, wait, we can talk about this. What have I ever done to you? Please don't kill me!!!!" He said in a hurry.

"You don't know what you did? Then die thinking about what sins have you committed you worthless piece of sh*t." I said while I slashed my Katana downwards while Lycan sank from his shadow.

When the slash was about halfway down to him, a fast-approaching Wind Clad Kunai hit my Katana and pushed my strike back slightly while someone flashed behind me holding my arms stopping my attack. The perpetrator's clone then went behind Inabikari and neck chopped him to sleep on the next second.

I then Shukuchied out of my previous spot and readied my defensive stance.

"Well, your senses are getting dull Otouto if a strike like that can catch you off guard."
