Chapter – 760 A Summon?

"You are going to the Nekoshou Domain to choose a Summon?" asked Neji in a surprised tone.

"Yes." Nodded Sasuke as his gaze subconsciously shifted toward Naruto.

A few days ago, Sasuke asked his elder brother Itachi the reason why Naruto suddenly became so strong and was able to overwhelm Asuma and the others. It was Shisui who answered Sasuke's doubts and told him that the reason was Senjutsu which Naruto seemed to have learned.

When Sasuke learned from Shisui that there is a very rare form of Ninja Art known as Senjutsu, which seems to have been mastered by only three Shinobi as per the knowledge of Konoha and the other Shinobi Village, and Naruto has learned the same Ninja Art, he was shocked.

'How could Naruto, who always comes last in the class master such a rare form of Ninja Art?' such a doubt appeared in Sasuke's heart, and he too wanted to learn that Ninja Art, believing that if Naruto could master it, then perhaps he too… but Shisui denied with the reason that currently Sasuke is too young for that, and Naruto could be attributed as an exception.

Sasuke was obviously disappointed, but he had no choice but to look for other ways to increase his strength to once again become number one in their year.

As a shinobi of the Uchiha Clan, Sasuke wasn't too worried, he knew that his Sharingan would evolve and as that happened, his strength would also increase. Sasuke believes that as long as he can fully tap the potential of his eyes, even Naruto's Senjutsu would be nothing.

Sasuke has confidence in himself… therefore, he doesn't push the matter related to Senjutsu any further. On the other hand, when the talk shifted to the giant Snake Summon that Naruto used, Sasuke really wanted to have such a powerful Summon too, and made a request to his father.

Facing Sasuke's request, Fugaku was a little helpless, the Uchiha Clan does have a lot of summons, however, none of them seems to be as powerful as the Giant Snake that Naruto summoned. When he didn't know what to do, Shisui offered to take Sasuke to the Nekoshou Domain, where he met Fuwafuwa, and Kuroka, and learned Senjutsu.

There are a few powerful Nekomata in the Nekoshou Domain, and Sasuke might be able to form a Summon Contract with them.

Hearing Shisui's offer, Fugaku readily agreed, and today is the day when Shisui will take Sasuke to the Nekoshou Domain. Realizing that it was almost time, Sasuke hurriedly bid farewell to Neji and left.

Seeing Sasuke eagerly leaving to get himself a summon, Neji felt envious.

Similar to Sasuke, Neji also wanted a powerful Summon just like Naruto's, unfortunately, the Hyuga Clan only specializes in Gentle Fist Art and never focused on summons. Therefore, when Neji mentioned the matter of finding a powerful summon, Hizashi helplessly replied that there was nothing he could do.

Uchiha Clan

Immediately as Sasuke returned home, he went to his father's study and eagerly asked, "Otou-san… I am back… when can I go?"

Fugaku replied without raising his head, "As soon as Shisui and Itachi arrive, although, it may take some time."

Sasuke pouted… but then he quickly reverted back and asked, "Otou-san… what kind of Summon is it going to be?"

Fugaku thought about what Shisui's Fuwafuwa is, and replied, "They are cats… I think." And added, "But they seem to be different from normal cats, Nekomata is what I believe they are called."

"Uh-huh… Nekomata? Different from normal cats?" muttered Sasuke excitedly, and asked, "Otou-san… are Nekomata as strong and big as Naruto's Summon Snake?"

Fugaku folded his hands with a thoughtful expression, and said, "I am not sure… I have never been to the Nekoshou Domain. Shisui did say that there are a few giant Nekomata there." Then he looked at Sasuke with a solemn expression and added, "Regardless of whether there really are such giant summons or not… what I want you to know is… do not get complacent because of the strength of your summon… make sure to continue with your training… else any summon will be useless to you."

"I understand Otou-san." Sasuke nodded readily, then asked, "By the way Otou-san… what kind of summon does Nii-san have?"

"Itachi uses Ninja Crows." Said Fugaku.

Sasuke asked, "Crows? Are they good?"

Fugaku nodded, "The way Itachi has blended crows with his fighting style, they are really good… however, they won't suit your fighting style, therefore, it would be best for you to go with Nekomota, they seem to be more powerful too."

Sasuke's expression dropped a little when he heard Fugaku's style, however, he quickly rejoiced when he heard Fugaku's latter words.

While Fugaku was explaining various things to Sasuke, Shisui, and Itachi arrived, "The two of them are here."

Shisui looked at Sasuke and asked, "Sasuke-kun… you ready?"

Sasuke nodded, "Yes!"

Shisui nodded, then said with a solemn expression, "Sasuke-kun… no matter what happens… do not lose yourself, if you do… you will fail… and know that there is no guarantee that you will be able to successfully form a contract or not… Nekomata seems to be very peculiar and selective."

Sasuke nodded, "I understand."

With that, Sasuke and Shisui left the mansion.

Ninja Academy: Principal's Office

"You want a Summon?" asked Kuroto with a surprised expression as he looked at Neji.

Neji nodded eagerly, "Sensei… I know my request is very unreasonable… but Otou-san said that you may be the only one in Hyuga Clan who might be able to help me find a Summon…"

"You don't need to be so reserved… it's just a summon, right?" Chuckled Kuroto, then asked, "So… what kind of summon do you want? Do you have something in your mind?"

"Sensei… I want a summon just like Naruto's Summon!" replied Neji.

"Like Garaga?" muttered Kuroto.

Neji nodded, "Yes."

After pondering for a while, Kuroto said, "Garaga is one of the most powerful snakes in the world and he lives in the Ryuchi Cave… one of the big three unexplored sage regions. If you want a summon as powerful as Garaga, it has to be from one of those three places as well… but… that is very difficult."

Neji lowered his head, "I know I am being very greedy."

Kuroto remained silent, "It's good that you have some understanding, don't let greed and envy affect you, because these might become the cause of your downfall."

Neji bowed to Kuroto, "I understand Sensei… thank you for your time." then turned around to leave, he thought that even Kuroto might not be able to help him.

Seeing Neji walk away, Kuroto was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped him, "Wait for a second kid… I never said that I won't help you… I do have a way."
