46 - Sound Yeti

Karou was outside the cave, behind him were half a dozen men, all of whom were soldiers who had not reached the physical level necessary to train inside the lake. Karou bit his fingertip causing some blood to leak, he put his hands on the floor and proclaimed.

- Summoning Jutsu! - Karou felt his Chakra being drained, since he had gone through the strange illusory experience with Sunflower he had not been able to use even 10% of his Chakra, but now he felt he had spent half of it.

Soon a smoke screen passed through the forest, it was dozens of meters long, Karou looked down above the trees and held his breath. "This snake is stupidly big" He thought

The snake should be bigger than even a bijuu in Naruto, Karou was afraid to guess what the size of the Bijuus was, if a beast with power that was still percentage average was that size, the beasts of syrup would be true monsters. The size of the snake was much larger than Karou would previously think.

- The sunlight! How long have I not seen her? - The snake spoke happily receiving the sun on its scales.

- Hebi! You can't get smaller, can you ?!

- No need to shout, you're in my head - The snake replied in a daydream. - Of course I can, I just wanted to stretch a little.

- Stretch a little? - Karou could hardly believe that, the snake was already bigger than anything he had ever seen in life, a real colossus.

The snake hissed with its tongue and its size gradually decreased, then Karou jumped off it because its size became smaller than it was possible to mount it. When it reached about 1 meter the snake stopped decreasing. All the soldiers and even Karou were gaping at that ability.

The snake curled up in Karou's arms and went up to his neck, at this moment Karou felt the pressure of the snake's power, if she wanted his body it would already be destroyed.

- Okay, is it that good?

- Okay, let's start the plan. - Karou spoke smiling with the group of ninjas behind him.

...

Gift traveled with his group through the middle of the hunting ground, they only found prey boars and other weak beasts. Gift was looking for the unusual group, he wanted answers, even without knowing that the group was the soldiers of the otsutsuki clan.

- Sir ... we're in a strange area, we better get back.

- Not yet, I need to find that group. I need to know how they found the entrance.

- But sir ... they say that this part of the hunting ground is cursed, the red-eyed demon lives here.

- Stop bullshit! - Gift didn't care about his servant's words and wanted to keep going.

The hunting ground was a dangerous place, so it created stories. Most of the stories were false, but it was known to all that some myths are true.

The red-eyed demon was one of those myths, a humanoid monster with black fur and scarlet eyes that steal the soul of those who come close.

- Sir ... I think there is something strange ... - The servant stammered when he felt a presence nearby.

- What was this ... - Gift stopped in his speech, he also managed to capture the presence, soon a humanoid passed in front of him, he had crimson eyes that moved in a strange way and there was something on his shoulder .

The being moved so fast that Gift couldn't even get a full glimpse of what he looked like, just a thought flashed through his mind, The red-eyed demon was real.

- Sir! The servant shouted.

- Let's go after him! - Gift didn't even think twice, this was a unique opportunity.

As the group went deeper into the forest, the stranger things got.

"There are dozens ... not perhaps hundreds ..." The servant said, as he trembled watching the movements above his head. There a fight was going on.

- It's incredible ... - Gift who had more attentive eyes also watched the fight trying to absorb everything he could.

The humanoid now faced another similar being, but this second was over 2 meters tall and his red eyes did not move, like the other being. Another feature was the quantity of the first being, there were dozens of them fighting, Gift knew there were dozens, but by the speed that the fight was taking place his servants could see hundreds of them.

The humanoide attacked with incredible blows, there were formations and techniques that Gift could only dream of obtaining, so the humanoide put his hands on his mouth and Gift heard a voice.

- Fire style, Jutsu fireballs from the shadow clones! - All human beings launched fireballs from all directions surrounding the beast, it was like a rain of fire that burned everything. The heat was so great that it even reached the Gift group that was meters away.

Gift thought the fight was over now, but the beast came out of the fire and let out a loud cry. Several of the humanoid beings went up in smoke with that cry, Gift felt dizzy and had earaches. As he put his hand over his ears, he saw a little blood drain.

- What is happening? A technique involving sound ?! Is that even possible? - Gift was in a trance.

A single humanoid remained standing, he stared at the beast without blinking. His scarlet eyes stood out above the trees.

- First gate! - The being shouted from above, at this moment even Gift couldn't see him, his speed was surreal. The humanoid appeared behind the beast, he gave the beast multiple kicks upwards, making it fly even higher, up to a distance no longer visible to the naked eye.

- Master? Where did they go? - Asked the servant.

- Hang on! Something's coming down. - Gift could still see a little and knew there was something speeding down towards them. - Take cover!

The two beings were glued together, as they descended at high speed in a reverse whirlpool. Gift only managed to hear one thing before the impact.

- Front lotus!

...

- Hebi! I said I wasn't supposed to go after such strong enemies, opening the gates costs me a lot.

- You wanted a rare beast and with reasonable strength, I found one. Do not complain.

- Do not complain? Look at the hole we created in the ground, I had to use my strongest long-distance Ninjutsu, do you know how difficult it is to get more than 50 clones to launch fireballs simultaneously, with the Sharingan active on top?

- You complain too much Karou, we already killed the beast. Humans call him red-eyed demons, but it's just a Yeti of sound.

- I see, it will serve well. - Karou was already leaving the place when he tripped over something.

- Karou ... I think you stepped on someone.

Karou looked down and realized he was stepping on a man's face.

- Oops, sorry. Are you alright?

- Ah, I'm ... - Said the man a little bewildered.

- What's your name?

- Ah, my name is Gift, Gift Natal
