Chapter 158: Summoning

Shikamaru concentrated and watched, a lot of chakra was really gone, but for him this amount was still bearable. But if a simple Jonin were here, he clearly would not have lasted a minute. Quite an expensive technique, there is nothing to say about it. Although the seal was not special, the ball was just there, the Third somehow changed it, so it had to fulfill its purpose at least several times.

After half a minute, Shikamaru finally noticed the change, the fog that had completely filled the sphere moved again, and the chakra consumption slightly decreased. The picture inside the sphere instantly changed, revealing some kind of darkness, after which blue lights suddenly began to appear, everything began to resemble some kind of cave, from the ceiling of which huge stalactites hung from the ceiling, overgrown with glowing mushrooms, they illuminated the entire cave, in the depths which showed different faces carved into the rock. The fog once again changed, bringing the image closer ... Suddenly, the yellow fog shuddered, in the deep blackness unlit by blue light, two huge golden lights abruptly lit up. Their appearance instantly made me understand what it was, the movement immediately confirmed everything ... Eyes! We were moving straight towards the screen of the sphere. Shikamaru immediately tensed and began to scowl at what was happening ... After a few seconds, the owner of these giant eyes finally appeared.

The creature is incredibly huge, easily filling a huge cave. On the back there is a black shell, and the face is elongated and the mouth is fanged. Shikamaru was surprised when he realized who it was. It turned out to be a green turtle creature! As soon as her face appeared in the glow of mushrooms, the turtle, as if sensing something, looked around cautiously and growled sharply. At the same moment, the yellow fog was distorted, and the picture of the vision instantly blurred, the consumption of chakra increased again. Contact was immediately lost.

Shikamaru relaxed his eyebrows and sighed.

- I am near the Land of Water, I think reptiles are not uncommon here ... Maybe it was worth finding another place? Hmm, it is worth checking a couple more times, what can happen ... - there was a loud crack, Shikamaru immediately drew attention to the edges of the crystal ball. Noticeable cracks appeared in the places of the indentations for the fingers, since the process of destruction stopped in time.

“Not bad ... Without fuin it would have split even more ... I'm afraid this thing won't last long. It was worth the wait. ”Returning his attention to the yellow mist again, Shikamaru continued to inject chakra and wait. Maybe this time he will be lucky, the past creature turned out to be not very hospitable ...

Five more minutes passed, and the crystal ball in Shikamaru's hands became covered with several more cracks. They slowly began to spread to the main field of vision.

- Heck! Cursing once again, Shikamaru sighed in displeasure. A new series of cracks filled the ball once again. There was enough chakra, but now the third beast is dissatisfied with being watched by a person. They instinctively know that they are being watched and immediately become enraged. Each of the animals turned out to be quite special. This is the first time I've seen anyone like Shikamaru. For example, right after the turtle, he managed to meet a real family of sharks, at the head of which was a huge toothed monster. His spying angered most of all. Then there was a red crocodile, from the tail of which it was possible to sew more than a dozen wallets or boots ... In the end, he met a completely unknown deep-sea monster, which immediately broke off contact.

Snapping his neck a couple of times, the guy focused again. If this time it did not work out, he was already preparing to remove the sphere and start searching in other lands. Painfully wild creatures in these places, did not want to make contact at all. The ball will certainly withstand at least three more search operations, and there it will be clear what happens. As a last resort, there is the usual call for good luck, which at one time Jiraiya used to associate himself with toads.

Chakra entered the crystal ball and Shikamaru frowned as expected. He took this search seriously, nevertheless, he was expected to meet in a foreign place and it was worth studying everything, even with a bad vision. Even if the beast once again refuses, this is not so important. If you agree, he will at least understand something in his home. Shikamaru is not looking for friends for himself, so it was always worth being vigilant here.

Here, a few seconds later, the yellow smoke began to clear up again, giving birth to another wonderful picture. This time, Shikamaru met a whole new world. Now he was in a dark place, so dark that it was even frightening. Pure blackness ... Only, at the same moment when the guy thought that he had met something very dangerous, a pair of red eyes appeared in this darkness, and then another and another ...

In a matter of moments, everything around was filled with hundreds of red eyes, constantly peering into the void. Shikamaru got shivers down his spine. To him, all those eyes seemed to be looking straight at him. Only, among the hundreds, there was a large space without a single blood flame, so Shikamaru immediately peered into it. He immediately realized that it was there that the king of all these creatures was hidden. At the same moment, when the guy peered into the empty space, four pairs of huge bloody eyes suddenly appeared in that place. Shikamaru instantly had an unpleasant feeling about the creature he had encountered. A whole army around, and even each of them has four pairs ...

For several seconds, the person and the creature in the shadows, as if through a huge space, were watching each other. But suddenly, all pairs of eyes immediately closed, only the main creature finally began to move, and then Shikamaru felt some changes. The crystal ball could not convey sounds, but it clearly conveyed the picture of what was happening on the other side. The huge creature was moving towards him, at the same moment Shikamaru knew what to do. He broke contact with the sphere, took out a small scroll, bit his finger until it bleeds, and folded a row of hand seals. As soon as his palm landed on the scroll, the vision immediately blurred, the transfer began!

Everything happened so quickly that it was only at the last moment that Shikamaru was able to activate the Sharingan. At the same moment, gloomy darkness covered everything around. Even with the Dojutsu, he was still unable to see in absolute darkness. The Sharingan allowed a lot, even to see in almost complete darkness, but light is still needed, even if even a small amount of it.

Therefore, Shikamaru extended his hand and folded the one-handed seal. Instantly a torch appeared in his palm, followed by this, the guy folded more seals and blew flame on him. Then the light finally appeared and Shikamaru could finally get a good look at everything. But as soon as he did this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The place he found himself was terribly frightening!
