When Shiroken arrived he saw Izumi and Shisui were fighting, their blades clashing with each other. Shisui even without eyes was really strong and very easily taking Izumi head-on.

*CLASH* ​​

Izumi had really changed, she had grown serious and focused. Her strength was also increasing with time.

"Okay okay, calm down now you two. And Izumi, go and take dumplings break, you are not using your head while fighting, instead using your rage, and Shisui is taking advantage of that.

"Remember, you must be careful when fighting because your enemy needs to be lucky just one time for him to end your life," Shiroken advised her.

Izumi nodded. Shiroken warmly patted her head, "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I will help you. You should also practice using your eyes more. Don't worry about going blind as I'm here."

"Thank you, Lord Dama." She bowed and left.

"What did you learn?" Shiroken asked Shisui.

"She's still in trauma, unable to understand why Itachi did what he did," Shisui replied. He was told by Shiroken to help Izumi.

"Didn't you tell her the truth?" Shiroken inquired. He knew as much as that the Uchiha clan was going to wage a civil war and that was why they were cleaned off.

Shisui nodded, "I did, but she said she wants to hear it from Itachi's mouth. Let's not forget, Izumi's family was also murdered and that image has not vanished from her mind yet."

"Yes, poor child. What about your family?" He asked him.

"None. I was orphaned during the days of the second Shinobi war. Life wasn't hard though, the clan was good at nurturing the young children, then I was selected in Anbu at a young age." Shisui revealed.

Then laughing Shiroken asked, "So you were a child prodigy, what about a girl? Do you have a girlfriend?"

He expected Shisui to get flustered and deny, but all of a sudden he saw a hint of sadness on Shisui's face. It was clear that some sad memories had resurfaced.

"Did... I did. She was beautiful, but sadly also one of the Uchiha. If I was not stopped from bringing peace my way, she would've been alive." Shisui whispered at the end.

Shiroken patted his shoulder. Shisui smiled and spoke, "But I was able to say a final goodbye to her, one last time."

"Go and take some rest, Shisui. Enough training for today." Shiroken sent him away to lighten up his mood. In a world full of so much sin, everyone had a sad story or two.

He went back to Monari, "So, how do I summon a beast?"

"Simple, just do as I do, okay?" she said and started performing the jutsu.

"You bring your thump close to your mouth, bite it, then make these seals, Boar -> Dog -> Bird -> Monkey -> Ram, and then slam your palm to the ground."

*POOF*

Out of nowhere, a giant snake appeared, it had greenish scales and angry looking eyes. Monari went to the snake and patted it, "This is my summon, Chomei once helped me get a contract. Meet Okura."

However, Shiroken was looking at the ground where he also slammed his palm, "Hey, Monari, is blood important for summoning?"

"AH!" Monari facepalmed herself for forgetting a very important detail about it.

"Yes, it is very important. I forgot you have no blood in your body. How will you sign the contract then?" She wondered.

Shiroken had an idea, "Umm... does it have to be my blood? Can't it be yours?"

Monari thought about it, "Hmm, well, it's possible, the summoner is the one who uses his chakra to summon, so the blood is just there for the contract."

Monari suddenly cut her palm and poured her blood into a container. Shiroken quickly used his healing powers to fix her palm. "Here, use this."

"Okay, I will try it, first let's see how much energy I should put in it, but will natural energy even work?" He wondered and proceeded.

He took a small drop of Monari's Blood with his thumb and made the hand seals. He was a little shocked at how easily Monari gave her blood, a Shinobi would rather not do it, as it can create many problems if the other party knows some nefarious means. But, it seemed she trusted Shiroken with everything.

"HERE IT GOES!" He announced and poured some of his Natural Energy.

Shiroken was already looking upwards, expecting that something huge was going to show up, even though he had put a very small amount of natural energy into it.

*BOOM*

With a loud cloud of smoke, something appeared. But, the smoke didn't seem that big, in fact, it was very small. From inside it, they heard some sounds.

"KEKEKE..."

Shiroken looked, Monari glanced too. *WOOSH*

All of a sudden a small shadow jumped out of the smoke towards Monari. Everyone was taken aback.

But, before Monari could kill it, Shiroken held her arm, "Don't, look."

Shiroken held the little animal in his arm, but then it jumped out of the hold and sat down on his head.

"Hehe, it's a little monkey, why did you summon a monkey?" Monari asked while looking at the cute little monkey.

Shiroken had no idea, he held him in front of his face, "I don't know, I just put a little amount of energy into it."

"Can you speak?" He inquired.

"KEKE... AAAA..." the monkey opened his mouth, telling them he was hungry.

"Aw... he wants a banana. But are you sure this is a summoning animal, he looks very normal to me. There is even a bell on his neck." Monari wondered.

Shiroken just shrugged and made the monkey sit on his shoulder "I don't know, he'll probably go back soon, as we have not signed a contract. Okay, I will try summoning again, but this time I will use a bit of extra natural energy."

The little monkey observed silently as Shiroken did the whole procedure again. This time, he was putting a lot more energy into it.

"I hope it's someone who can fly." He muttered to himself.

"SUMMONING JUTSU!" *BAM*

He pressed his palm on the ground, immediately the marking spread and soon a very loud boom came, along with it came a big shrieking voice. The cloud of smoke was gigantic this time, nearly as big as a tailed beast, and Shiroken felt excited.

"EH! Monari, I don't feel so good." All of a sudden Monari's summon, Okura spoke, beads of sweat appeared on his face.

"What happened?" Monari asked.

However, before Okura could reply, a loud majestic old voice came from inside the smoke, "Who dares to summon me? It has been ages since the last time. What trickery did you use? No mortal has the power to call me forth."

"BWAHAHA... this guy is full of himself, can't wait for him to get his ass kicked," Tenken said from inside the sword. He had already accepted the fact that Shiroken was like a god now and his favourite pastime was to see people get face slapped by Shiroken.

"Hmm? Who dares say such words to me? I will seal you in a stone for this transgression." The majestic voice roared.

Tenken laughed, "Hahaha, try your luck, you'll have to first take me out of this, at least I can stretch myself then."

Shiroken shushed him, "Shut up Tenken, or I will throw you into the sea. Let me talk to him. I summoned you,"

*WOOSH*

Like a big blow from the mouth all the smoke vanished, they all finally saw the beast. Its form was mighty big and flying in the air, something that excited Shiroken.

"What creature are you?" Monari inquired.

"Huh, I AM! The mighty Dragon of the East, Kurosaki." The dragon replied.

Shiroken tilted his head in confusion, "But you are white, and Kuro means black, so why is your name Kurosaki?"

"MORTAL! You can not understand the superior brains of us, my parents..."

"HAHA... I bet his parents just wanted to mess with him." Tenken laughed.

Shiroken responded, "Well, Kurosaki, I am Shiroken Dama, and I am no mortal,"

The Dragon looked at him intently, "You... you disturbed me? I was on a very important journey today, and you have wasted my time."

Shiroken flew up to the long snake-like dragon's head. The dragon had white scales, his face resembled a lion to some extent and his horns resembled a deer's. He had a long moustache too and surprisingly had a bag in his claws.

"I am not an ordinary being, I am entirely made of Natural energy and I am also the adopted child of all 9 tailed beasts," Shiroken announced.

The Dragon however seemed more astonished at his ability to fly, "Hmm, you are certainly superior, using the natural energy to fly."

"Then, will you become my Summon Contract?" Shiroken asked politely and excitedly.

"HUH... ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

Now, I've been uploading 2 chapters every day for HP fic and in 3 more days it will reach the same number of advance chapters as stated in the tiers. Then, I will start uploading 2 chapters a day of Naruto fic there and soon bring it to the same number as stated in tiers.

I did not deliberately reduce the number of chapters nor am I swindling money off of you. If you feel you don't like the current number of chapters in lower tiers, then please refrain from subscribing for a few more days.]
