Katsuyu listened to Harry's response and pondered for a moment. "I understand your desire for a companion, Harry. But I must warn you, I cannot simply accept a summoning contract without knowing if you are truly worthy of my partnership. I would like to test your abilities and character throughout our journey together. Only then can I make a decision whether to continue our partnership or not."
Harry nodded in understanding, his determination evident in his eyes. "I accept your conditions, Katsuyu. I am confident that I can prove myself worthy of your trust and partnership."
With a nod of approval, Katsuyu continued, "Very well, Harry. Let us establish the summoning contract and embark on this journey together. But remember, if you fail to meet my expectations, I reserve the right to cancel the summoning contract."
"Thank you, Katsuyu," Harry said gratefully. "I won't let you down."
With their agreement established, Harry wasted no time in performing the summoning technique. Concentrating on his chakra, he focused on the image of Katsuyu in his mind. After a few tries, a small, translucent version of Katsuyu materialized in front of him.
The small Katsuyu had the same distinctive pattern and markings as the larger version, but she was no bigger than a squirrel. She gazed up at Harry with intelligent eyes, her presence radiating wisdom and power.
"Hello, little Katsuyu," Harry greeted her with a warm smile. "It's great to have you by my side!"
The small Katsuyu regarded him with a short and measured gaze, her demeanor wise beyond her size. "I will be in your care."
"Little Katsuyu, I'm curious about the abilities you have," Harry said, looking down at the small creature with interest. "Can you tell me more about how you can help me?"
Although Harry knew about the abilities Katsuyu had, he decided to act that he didn't know anything about it.
The small Katsuyu nodded her head, her tiny form exuding an air of ancient knowledge. "I possess the ability to aid in healing injuries using the chakra within your body," she began, her voice soft but carrying conviction. "With your chakra, I can help mend wounds and accelerate the natural healing process."
"That's incredible," Harry exclaimed, his eyes widening in wonder. "Can you heal any injury?"
The small Katsuyu shook her head, her tiny frame swaying slightly. "I'm afraid not. While I can assist in healing most injuries, there are limitations to my abilities. I cannot mend serious injuries to the heart and brain with the current level of our contract."
Harry nodded, taking in her words. "I understand. So, the effectiveness of your healing will depend on the amount of chakra I can provide?"
"Exactly," the small Katsuyu confirmed. "Your chakra will directly influence the healing rate, so maintaining a strong and steady flow of chakra will be beneficial."
As Harry absorbed this information, the small Katsuyu continued, "In addition to healing, I possess the ability to split into different parts, allowing me to relay information or provide assistance in multiple locations simultaneously."
"That's amazing," Harry marveled. "So, you can divide into smaller copies of yourself?"
"Yes," the small Katsuyu affirmed. "Each part retains my wisdom and power, allowing for efficient communication and support across different areas."
"Thank you for explaining, little Katsuyu," Harry said gratefully. "Your abilities are truly remarkable, and I'm grateful to have you by my side. With your help, I feel more confident in facing whatever challenges may come my way."
The small Katsuyu inclined her head in acknowledgment.
After their conversation, Harry expressed his gratitude once more to the small Katsuyu. He bid her goodbye with a gentle smile, before focusing on his chakra to unsummon her.
With a brief surge of energy and a shimmering of light, the small Katsuyu dissolved into a constellation of glowing particles, returning to the place from which she had come.
Harry retrieved the Hawk summoning contract from his system space, a feeling of anticipation building within him as he unfurled the scroll. The intricate symbols and elegant script on the contract seemed to come alive as he focused his chakra and performed the summoning jutsu.
With a burst of energy and a swirl of feathers, a magnificent hawk appeared before Harry. Its sharp eyes surveyed the surroundings before fixing on Harry with an intelligent gaze. Feeling a surge of excitement, Harry reached out to the hawk, offering his hand for it to perch on. The hawk gracefully landed on his outstretched arm, its feathers glinting in the sunlight.
"Hello there," Harry greeted the hawk with a warm smile. "I'm Harry, and I'm glad to have you join me as my summon."
Harry himself felt that the introduction was quite weird after all he wasn't used to talking to beasts.
The hawk let out a regal cry, and Harry felt a sense of connection with the majestic creature.
Although the Hawk couldn't talk like Katsuyu, but still it after contacting each other they were able to easily understand each other.
With a sense of gratitude, he confirmed the summoning contract with the hawk, feeling the bond between them solidify. The hawk would now answer his call whenever he summoned it, ready to aid him in his endeavors.
As the hawk vanished in a swirl of feathers and disappeared into the ether, Harry couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and wonder at the incredible creatures he was now able to call upon. With Katsuyu and the hawk by his side, he knew he had powerful allies to rely on in challenging situations.
After completing the summoning, Harry retrieved the sensory technique scroll he had purchased from the system space. Unrolling the scroll which had an ancient look, he carefully studied the intricate diagrams and instructions inscribed on it. The sensory technique was a crucial skill that would enhance his abilities in combat and reconnaissance, and he was eager to master it.
Channeling his chakra, Harry focused on the words written on the scroll, visualizing the flow of energy and the intricate patterns of the technique. With focused determination, he began practicing the hand seals and mental exercises required to unlock the sensory technique's potential.
As he delved deeper into the teachings of the scroll, Harry could feel the subtle shifts in his perception and awareness. The world around him seemed to come alive in a way he had never experienced before, with his senses heightened and attuned to the slightest changes in his surroundings. It was as if a new layer of understanding had been unlocked within him, granting him a profound insight into the world around him.
With each passing moment, Harry's mastery of the sensory technique grew, and he could feel the power and potential of this newfound skill coursing through him. The scroll had become a wellspring of knowledge, and Harry was determined to absorb every detail, honing his abilities until he could seamlessly integrate the sensory technique into his arsenal.
Hours turned into days as Harry dedicated himself to mastering the sensory technique. He practiced tirelessly, pushing the boundaries of his capabilities and refining his control over the subtle energies that bound the technique. With unwavering perseverance, he delved into the depths of his chakra, honing his sensitivity to the world around him until every rustle of leaves and every shift in the air became clear to his heightened senses.
Finally, after intense dedication and unwavering determination, Harry felt a surge of triumph as he successfully executed the sensory technique. A wave of clarity washed over him, and he marveled at the newfound depth of his perception. He could sense the subtle vibrations of life all around him, detecting the presence of living beings and the flow of energies with uncanny precision.
With the sensory technique at his command, Harry felt a newfound confidence in his abilities. He had learned a powerful tool that would aid him in his journey, enhancing his awareness and granting him an edge in combat and reconnaissance.
Harry didn't stop there and continued learning the other techniques he had purchased. He gave his all as the deadline of three months was slowly approaching.
