We entered the large valley that was divided down the middle, the older members of the pack had their guard up. I myself used my sensory jutsu which boosted my senses. I could hear clip clop noises on top of the valley while smelling the horse stench. We are in the right place so we are either on their border or walking into a trap.
My suspicions were confirmed when low rumbles occurred forcing several multi colour boulders to fall on us. I fired a 50 fold nail gun towards one of them destroying it instantly yet the onslaught continued as more and more were fired down.
Old jiro used his tail to stab himself and forced his body to grow to its real size which matched mama cloth. He began firing needles upwards destroying each boulder. " cloth-chan they have a sage up there spamming earth jutsu. I'll hold them off while you advance". Mama cloth nodded so began leading the pack further into the valley while jiro increased his fire rate.
Next a stampede of horses came towards us while armoured in earth spikes like they wished to impale us. That didn't work to well as the others used wolf fang over fang to curl into a spiky ball off death and spin dash through them. They turned into a meat pile. Holes began opening in the sides of the ravine and small zebras stood there.
They put their hooves on the ground in a rhythm which led to different jutsu. Their guts expanded before they fired out great fireballs and great wind breakthroughs. We used earth style dome to cover ourselves. Mama cloth and jiro who swapped to powering the dome signalled to tunnel down.
I covered my hands with fork knuckles and began swiping at the rock beneath us to clear it away. After 10 minutes of this we directed ourselves back in the direction of the valley while buried. We tunnelled our way there which took several hours. Fortunately I picked up a lot of horse and zebra meats so I took my ingredients from the scrolls and began cooking.
The wolves happily digged into my beshbarmak dish which is made from flat noodles, onions and horse meat. I also included some potatoes and broth I'd saved up from the dinners in the desert. I also prepared sfilacci for the females who wanted more vegetables. Every woman wants to diet and be slimmer so I conceded. Lastly I made some leberkäsesemmel which is a bread stuffed with horse meat and mustard. We all stuffed ourselves to prepare for the next round of digging and to recharge chakra. Mama cloth ate the most as she doesn't want to fail because she lacked chakra or stamina.
After resting and being well fed more diffing began but this time at an incline so we could reach their base. Along the way jiro and mama cloth felt guiness's chakra signature so they directed us towards it. Me and terry were the first to surface as we were the smallest, as soon as we arrived terry became dizzy and began to speak jibberish. I turned to see we were in a flower garden with a purple flower species known as the loose fox tongue. This flower was used to make a fragrance that forces the enemy to reveal secrets however most humans have antibodies to it now so it's not used.
The summon creatures however are still fair game, I sent terry back down to warn the others while I continued searching. After a few minutes I came upon a chained down mound of black fur that was semi conscious. "Guiness?" I asked which made the behemoth shake a little "I'll never talk you stupid pony!" He bellowed as the chains became strained.
These chains were adamantine from the looks of it. The same kind the uzumaki can generate to restrain tailed beasts. I noticed that the metal was a little warped in some areas which showed they were strained with great forces. How strong is this guy?
Based on the signs of interrogation and what the pack has told me these horses most likely want the secrets to the wolves sen jutsu so they can improve themselves. Guiness is the strongest so they took him after he was weakened but his will is to strong for the flowers fragrance to work. I noticed that he's already developed a resistance to it when I checked his body. Numerous scars including snake bites which had Manda written all over them. I checked if there was anything else in his system but he's already flushed it out with nature chakra ages ago.
I'm not strong enough to break the chains but I do know a thing or two about wolf biology. I asked old jiro to tutor me on his needle arts and he made me learn the biology of a wolf to show which is compatible with my biology. In doing so I learned the technique he uses to shrink so I jumped from fur handle to fur handle and removed some needles from my pouch.
15 minutes of acupuncture later Guiness had shrank down to the size of a st.Bernard so I lifted him over my shoulder. Bad move! He retained his mass so I instantly fell over. I just decided to grip his tail and drag him to the tunnel. He was drooling along the way leaving a slobber trail but I ignored it after lighting the flower field on fire. This entire valley is about to get as high as a kite.
I dragged his ass into the hole and tossed him down. I heard panting and licking as well as minor cheering. I dropped into the hole and and sealed it up with earth jutsu. As soon as I finished a massive tongue covered me soaking me to the bone in saliva. Mama cloth was really happy to have her mate back. I told them the circumstances and they freaked out. I asked why and they just told me about a the great horse sage "Heracles". I began to sweat realising who is also in this world.
We began tunnelling away at breakneck speeds and surfacing miles away from the horse valley. As we fully surfaced we heard a massive bellow before a storm of sand was dragged towards the valley. "Horse style great inhale" was what jiro muttered. Heracles just inhaled the entire flower fragrance so it stopped working on his tribe. We started booking it back to the reverse summoning point.
A day of sprinting later and Ken dog reverse summoning brought us back to the old forest. After we reached the cave I passed out on the bed of furs that fell alongside me. The ones who stayed began dragging the prepared meals towards us as we couldn't move. After stuffing myself I drifted off to dream land to prepare for tomorrow.
