MSIN: Chapter 48

---

The fact that the Splitting Dog could transform from three heads and one body into six heads and six bodies made Haori quite fond of it.

Just this one characteristic alone made it a powerful summoning beast.

These chakra beasts, which were simply beasts acting on instinct, had the intelligence of beasts and couldn't be compared to the toads of Mount Myoboku. They were violent but lacked intelligence, which was the main reason why Haori was able to capture the Eight-legged Crow, the Double-horned Rhinoceros, and the Even-toed Ungulate.

(ShixT9: I don't know what this monsters are but probably chinese myths or folklores, not sure tho)

It goes without saying that brains are a good thing.

But Haori just liked these kinds of creatures. If this dog actually spoke, who knows what kind of reaction he would have.

After hearing Haori's words, Minato Namikaze, with a look of helplessness on his face, quickly rushed to the side of each individual Splitting Dog with a speed that could only be described as godly. Then, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to stack them on top of each other like bricks.

Before they had a chance to disperse again, Minato tossed a Flying Thunder God kunai into the air. When the kunai was right above the Splitting Dogs, Minato teleported himself there.

Then, Minato used the Summoning Jutsu in mid-air.

With a loud "bang," Gamabunta's massive body suddenly appeared in mid-air. The eight dogs hadn't had time to react before they were high-altitude projectiles, crashing heavily into the ground.

Well, this is called the Summoning: Crushing the Stall Technique.

Minato had only briefly heard Haori mention the Splitting Dog's characteristics. He wasn't aware of the creature's more fundamental aspects, nor did he know the most accurate way to make them fuse back together. So, Minato chose the usual approach.

Stack a bunch of things together, then hit them with a hammer or something. If they were sticky, they would surely stick together, right?

See, even the most elite ninjas sometimes have such un-ninja-like ideas.

Sticking together was one possibility, but the greater possibility was that they would shatter into pieces…

Fortunately, the Splitting Dog wasn't so easily killed by a smash, and Minato's gamble paid off. The Splitting Dogs, crushed beneath Gamabunta, struggled in vain before finally choosing to fuse back together.

"Finally trapped this guy." Haori exclaimed from mid-air.

The Yellow Flash's work was so effortless. Even if it were Haori, without his injuries, he wouldn't have been able to do this. At best, he would have electrocuted the six dogs one by one.

With the Splitting Dog now lying on its back, unable to use its limbs, and with Gamabunta's weight on top of it, it was impossible for it to get out of the ground no matter how hard it struggled.

Haori let out a sigh of relief. He had been racking his brains to deal with this creature that could split for the past few days.

He controlled the Eight-legged Crow to lower its altitude and then jumped off its head.

After walking to the side of the Splitting Dog's three large heads, Haori stepped on its nose and walked onto its face… literally stepping on its nose.

Faced with such hostility, the Splitting Dog, although unable to move, still growled.

Haori wouldn't be so considerate of the little dog's feelings. He took a kunai from his ninja tool pouch, and behind the kunai was a strip of paper with complex seals drawn on it—the unique summoning contract sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. It was the most suitable technique for dealing with such powerful but unintelligent chakra beasts.

Haori lightly stabbed the kunai into the middle head of the Splitting Dog, and blood immediately flowed from its forehead.

Of course, this wasn't to kill it, otherwise, all the previous efforts would have been in vain.

Haori's hands began to quickly form hand seals. This was a long seal with more than a hundred hand seals. When the seals were completed, the kunai, along with the sealed paper, slowly sank into the Splitting Dog's head.

Haori's movements were without any hesitation. He was skilled, after all, he had done this three times before, and the fourth time was a breeze.

Like a pebble thrown into a lake, after the seal was completed, there were no wounds on the Splitting Dog's forehead.

Then, the Splitting Dog with three heads blinked its six eyes almost simultaneously. Then, it became exceptionally docile towards Haori, and its eyes no longer had the fierce feeling from before.

Minato knew at this point that Haori's contract seal was complete, so he released Gamabunta.

After Gamabunta disappeared, the Splitting Dog could move freely. But it didn't move because of Haori's command.

After patting the Splitting Dog's head, Haori jumped off.

If it were a summoning beast like Gamabunta, simply signing a contract wouldn't be very useful. The contract was just the first step. If you didn't talk to it, have a romantic relationship with it, it wouldn't listen to you. There was a process for the owner and such summoning beasts to get to know each other, otherwise, even if you summoned it, it wouldn't work. It just wouldn't do its job, what could you do?

Besides, between a ninja and a summoning beast, who was the master wasn't necessarily clear.

Intelligent and powerful summoning beasts had a humanized personality and dignity, like Naruto's experience, for example, or the arrogant Manda from Orochimaru.

But that wasn't the case with something like the Splitting Dog. After the special contract ceremony was completed, it immediately transformed from a beast that would bite anyone it saw into a docile pet.

If it weren't for Haori constantly giving it orders, its three long tongues would have licked Haori several times already.

"Thanks, Minato-sensei."

Haori didn't forget to thank Minato.

"It was just a little help," Minato said, gesturing for Haori not to worry. His face was, as always, adorned with a gentle smile. "But more than that, is your injury alright?"

Minato was standing beside Haori now, and he could clearly sense that Haori's physical condition wasn't good. Haori's wounds had been bandaged, but the healing effect didn't seem very good.

"I'm fine." Haori shook his head. In fact, at this point, the most serious thing affecting his condition wasn't his injuries, but his fatigue.

But compared to his gains, Haori felt it was worth the effort…

So, thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Please forgive him, he hadn't spoken properly for three days, so his voice was hoarse, and his laughter was a bit unpleasant.

Then, Kushina couldn't take it anymore. She rushed in front of Haori at her fastest speed and then gave him a hard punch on the head.

Was this really something to be so happy about? Powerful summoning beasts were indeed rare, but Haori's timing for capturing a pet was clearly bad. At least that's what Kushina thought.

She occasionally felt like punching people, and when she felt like punching people, she would punch them. But she had never beaten anyone to death… So, she held back her strength. After all, besides being a little angry and worried, she didn't have any other emotions.

But she didn't expect that after Haori took her punch, he actually rolled his eyes and fainted.
