Chapter 57

The grassland of the Country of Grass,

It's not so much a grassland as it is a small green meadow.

It only took about half an hour for Kazuki to walk from the southernmost point of the grassland to the northernmost point.

Faster than him walking from the Hokage Building to the Gekko Clan!

"It's not easy to find something in a place like this."

Kazuki shook his head and activated his Sharingan.

His Sharingan at this time had only two tomoe, but its ability was far superior to the ordinary two-tomoe Sharingan.

Not only was the intensity of the illusions 10,000 times that of the ordinary Sharingan, but the observation and copying abilities were also 10,000 times stronger!

Sasuke with his two-tomoe Sharingan could only copy some low-level taijutsu, but Kazuki could directly copy S-rank ninjutsu!

No matter which ninjutsu the opponent used, Kazuki could directly copy it and use it himself!

However, this copying ability had a drawback: if Kazuki was insensitive to a certain attribute of chakra, he wouldn't be able to use the copied chakra of that attribute.

In other words, his talent wasn't omnipotent.

For example, the Yang-type chakra ninjutsu of the Akimichi clan, some of the Earth Release ninjutsu that Kakashi excelled at, or the Wood Release of Senju Hashirama.

Additionally,

Because the conditions for casting summoning techniques were different, even if Kazuki could copy the form, he wouldn't be able to cast it.

After all, he didn't even have a Summoning Beast.

The small grassland became transparent under the penetration of Kazuki's Sharingan, and all the movements within the entire grassland were displayed in his eyes.

A herd of bison passed by, grazing with their heads down, tails swaying, seemingly content as they ate.

Several wild wolves wandered not far away, the smaller ones appearing to discuss how to cooperate in taking down a lone, unsuspecting cow.

In a meadow stood a unique tree.

This tree was the only 'structure' in the grassland. On it lay the leader of this grassland, a pride of lions.

Unlike the hungry wild wolves, the lions seemed satiated and uninterested in the approaching bison.

"Ox, wolf, snake, rabbit, ant, mouse…"

After spotting a mouse, Kazuki suddenly appeared beside it and captured it.

"A pointed mouth, transparent ears with no hair, a tail like a whip, a pink nose, and five toes. Why is it so big?"

The appearance and characteristics were similar, but there was something off about the size of this rat.

How does such a large creature survive in this grassland?

"Squeak!"

The captured rat was furious, twisting its body, and even attempting to bite Kazuki's hand with its teeth.

But with just a little force, Kazuki made it obedient.

The suffocating presence of death made the rat dare not move.

"Forget it, let's capture it first. Experimental rats... one or two possums may not be enough to successfully cultivate Summoning Beasts."

If Summoning Beasts could be cultivated casually, then Kakashi's Pakkun wouldn't be so special.

Likewise, Might Guy wouldn't only have a few weak little turtles.

In one afternoon, Kazuki caught three creatures that resembled opossums.

That night, back at the hotel, Kazuki took out bottles of prepared poison and looked at the three rats with an evil grin.

"Jiejiejiejiejie… It's time for dinner, rats!"

"Zhizhi(⊙_⊙)?"

"Zhizhi（゜ー゜）"

"Zhizhi (⊙ｏ⊙)"

After the three rats consumed the poisoned rice Kazuki had prepared, two survived.

One was poisoned and died instantly!

Kazuki carefully disposed of the poisoned rat in the trash, a look of regret on his face, "You should have had a good rat life…"

If the rat could talk, it would surely defend itself.

"It's obvious that you caught the wrong mouse"
