"Does the Beast that Gamabunta mentioned really exist? Why can't we find it after searching for so long?"
The three were searching for the aforementioned Beast inside a medium-sized submarine, at the bottom of the sea of the Land of Water. The submarine was nothing like submarines from Earth.
"Bulma, don't worry, I think it will find it soon." Ryoha looked at Bulma, who looked a little funny. Maybe Ryoha had grown up, or maybe Bulma had changed after finally leaving Konoha's cage.
Thus, her liveliness gradually returned. Her mature and intellectual nature did not disappear. Several personalities intersected together, making Bulma even more beautiful.
"We're here."
Haku returned to this country, which was a nightmare for her when she was a child. It had been very quiet since then. Ryoha and Bulma also knew what was going on. Haku's childhood experiences were like shackles to her.
Just like Kakashi's case, if Haku could not break these shackles and be reborn, then even with her incredible talent, she would only end up like him, getting stuck at Jonin level his entire life.
Ryoha could see although Haku appeared to be very calm on the surface after coming to the Land of Water, her heart was like a raging sea, unable to calm down for a long time.
However, Ryoha and Bulma both believed that Haku could break these shackles. This was also one of Ryoha's goals in coming to the Land of Water. He didn't want Haku to be like Kakashi, who could only linger on the strength of a Jonin for the rest of his life.
"I feel that the water nearby is getting thicker and denser. It's different from before. The territory around us contains a terrifying Water-attribute chakra. It is so powerful. For a radius of several miles, water-attribute chakra is everywhere."
In terms of water and wind chakra, Haku's talent was almost unparalleled. This was because Ice Release was made up of Water and Wind release. Haku and her Ice Release were becoming more and more frightening. Would her Water and Wind Release be worse? Against the ever-growing Yuki clan descendant, using water and wind to fight her was simply a foolish act.
If the Uchiha was famous for their Sharingan and Fire Release, then Haku was famous for her Ice Release. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her clan to be as powerful as the Kaguya clan in the past. They even dared to fight against the entire Kirigakure and the Land of Water.
Although they were defeated in the end, even the most powerful Uchiha might not be able to do this feat. This clan was able to shake a country with Kirigakure, one of the five great villages, inside of them. This required not only strength but also courage and vision.
"In that case, it should be about time. Bulma, let's go up. It is too dangerous to fight against this kind of monster at the bottom of the sea. After we surfaced... Haku, you should immediately freeze the sea. Just freeze as far as you can, and then the two of you can fly on the plane."
Ryoha immediately arranged everything he had to pay attention to. Bulma was not slow either. She first started with electronics and machinery, and then she began to study genes for Ryoha. In addition to her research and inventions, she was unparalleled when it came to manipulating machinery.
The submersible vehicle immediately sailed to the surface of the sea. Haku stepped on the waterbed and pressed her hand to the sea. "Flash Freeze!."
She once again used the ninjutsu that had frozen the water dragon. However, it wasn't as simple as just freezing water and ninjas this time. She was going to freeze the sea. With Haku's current strength, it was a bit difficult. She could only freeze the sea within a mile radius. After all, her current strength was only that of an elite Chuunin. Although she had combat strength comparable to an ordinary Jonin, she was still not strong enough.
However, it was enough. The two girls quickly hopped on a plane that was contained inside one of the capsules. Ryoha stood on the bed of ice that Haku had frozen before. He looked at the vast sea.
"I know you already know that we are here. Your chakra is all over the place. I think you know why I came here. Whether you agree or not, come out and talk." Ryoha shouted at the sea in front of him.
"Boy, you are no ordinary ninja. Your courage is commendable. No one has come here for many years. To know my existence, it should be that Gamabunta who told you."
Suddenly, the originally calm sea began to stir restlessly. For a moment, the sea shook violently. Waves formed one after another, and huge whirlpools appeared around the ice layer. It was really frightening.
"That's right. This beast seems to be stronger than Gamabunta told me. More importantly, her appearance is what I like the most." Ryoha knew that his target was coming out. He couldn't wait to see this Beast that even the arrogant Gamabunta was full of praise for.
"Your power is special, and there is a terrifying potential hidden in your body. However, this potential has only begun to awaken gradually. With your current strength, it is not enough to be acknowledged by me. You can go back."
A majestic and dominant voice that clearly sounded like a woman's appeared. It made people take a few steps back when they heard it. At the same time, a figure appeared one after another on the waves. When Ryoha saw it clearly, he found that it was a white Northeast Tiger*.
The figure was about the same size as the Northeast Tiger on Earth, but the aura and dominance emitted by the writing on its forehead were terrifying. It was not something that the tigers on Earth could compare with.
"Sure enough, it's the same as what Gamabunta said, but it's a bit strange. It's impossible for the ninja world to have no Contract Beast like tigers, right? Why did Gamabunta say that she was alone? Forget it, forget it. The most important thing now is to get her recognition and successfully form a contract with her."
Countless thoughts flashed through Ryoha's mind. He was delighted with this beast. Both in terms of appearance and strength, it was incomparable. Such a Contract Beast was what he dreamed of.
Tigers were originally the king of the jungle and the king of beasts. It could be said that they were the rulers of the land, and the Northeast Tigers were the strongest among many tigers.
Now, this white tiger, which looked very similar to the Northeast Tiger, was actually good at Water Release. But looking at her appearance, she still had reservations. Who knew if she would still be good at it? Her earlier performance showed that she was the queen of the land and sea, though. Ryoha had already decided that she would be his Contract Beast after hearing her story.
