Bōeki Village is just a small village and there isn't much good food to eat.
Shigeru ordered a portion of rice and two dishes. After eating, he set off for Olneya Forest in the north.
Entering the forest, Shigeru took out a quill from the scroll.
This was what the missing Jonin sent back to the clan along with the information. It is said that through this item, the missing batch of supplies can be found.
With the injection of chakra, the feather in Shigeru's hand began to spin slightly. After about three or four seconds, the tip of the feather became fixed in one direction.
"Are the supplies in that direction or are the people who stole the supplies?"
Looking at the direction the pen was heading, Shigeru was confused.
"Forget it, I'll just go and take a look and find out."
Shigeru put away the pen and quickly leapt forward.
The tall trees continued to move behind him, and after about ten minutes, Shigeru took out the pen again.
"Hey?"
With the injection of chakra, he suddenly discovered that the direction of the tip of the feather had changed.
Following the direction indicated by the tip of the feather, Shigeru leapt forward again.
This time he didn't move as much. After a minute or two, he took out the pen again.
"Is it weird?"
Shigeru looked at the pen in his hand in confusion, because the direction pointed by the tip of the pen had changed again.
After holding the pen and thinking for a moment, he was now basically certain that supplies or things related to supplies were probably nearby.
After discovering it, Shigeru began to hold the pen, constantly injecting chakra and carefully searched step by step.
Finally, under a large tree the feather seemed to have lost its function and no longer pointed in any direction.
"Should be here."
Shigeru looked around and then began to carefully search around the big tree.
After searching for about five or six minutes, a very discreet shallow mark appeared on the root of the tree.
This is a small triangle pattern and there is a horizontal line on the right side of the triangle.
This triangle and horizontal line mark the unique code of the Hagoromo clan.
Following the direction of the horizontal line, Shigeru carefully felt around.
However, after touching the tree for a long time, he found nothing strange.
"Isn't it in the tree?"
Shigeru scratched his head in confusion and then began to look under the mark.
Finally, after picking up the dead branches and leaves from the ground, Shigeru discovered that the ground beneath the mark seemed to be softer than the surrounding areas.
Seeing this, Shigeru's eyes suddenly lit up and he began to hurriedly dig. After digging almost a foot deep, he found a mark that seemed to be a Summoning seal array on a root.
"What do I do with this?"
Shigeru looked at the Summoning Seal Array on the bark with some confusion. After thinking about it for a while, he pressed his hand onto the Summoning Seal Array and injected chakra into it.
Phew!
A puff of white smoke came out.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow -"
Suddenly, a dog as tall as a man appeared in front of Shigeru.
"???"
Looking at the dog in front of him, Shigeru's face instantly filled with question marks.
Where did this dog come from?
"Woof! Woof, Woof!"
Seeing that Shigeru didn't respond for a long time, the dog started barking while pulling on his collar.
After coming back to his senses, Shigeru immediately made a universal silence, putting his finger over his mouth, not wanting anyone to hear him because of his barking. "Shut up!"
The dog, who was barking, immediately closed his mouth.
Looking at this dog in front of him, Shigeru's head felt thoughtful.
I look at the dog.
The blue eyes full of wisdom, the beautiful fur and the ears that seem very sensitive, aren't they perfect?
But what is this dog good for? Can he find the supplies?
"Wow?"
Seeing that Shigeru stopped talking again, the dog tilted his head and barked in confusion.
Seeing this, Shigeru shook his head helplessly, forget it, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
"Hey, Doggy, do you know where the missing supplies are?" Shigeru looked at the dog in front of him and asked.
"Woof?" The Dog blinked his blue eyes, seemingly unable to understand what Shigeru was talking about.
The dog shook his head, turned and ran in the other direction.
"Hey?"
Seeing the dog run away, Shigeru was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly chased after it, "Hey, dog, come back here!"
This dog is the only clue he has about that supply drop, if the dog gets lost, that supply drop will never be found.
"Fuck! How can this dog run so fast?"
Shigeru, who was still jumping from tree to tree, looked at the dog running wildly in front of him and couldn't help but complain.
And a ninja, with his speed, if he chases a normal dog, it will fall into his hands in a second.
But I didn't expect that this dog actually had chakra in its body and could run very agilely.
He had been chasing it for five or six minutes, but the distance between them did not decrease at all, and the dog was still running about ten meters ahead of him.
"There is no other way!"
Seeing that there was no hope of catching the dog, Shigeru's expression turned slightly solemn and he immediately formed a seal.
"Hyōton: Kingdom of Ice!"
Shigeru's body chakra was reduced to one-fifth. In an instant, a stream of cold air rushed out from the soles of Shigeru's feet and a layer of frost instantly appeared on the surrounding ground.
"Wow?"
The dog running in front of Shigeru suddenly felt a lack of friction under his feet, just as he was confused.
!!
With a flash of frost, Shigeru appeared beside her instantly.
Before the dog could react, Shigeru reached out and grabbed the back of its neck.
"Wow…"
The dog, who was being held by the scruff of his neck, cocked his ears and howled with a confused look on his face.
Seeing this, Shigeru asked again, "Why are you running?"
"Wow!"
The dog barked twice in front of him, then turned around and looked at Shigeru. Seeing that Shigeru was still looking at him, he turned his head and barked forward.
Seeing this situation, Shigeru looked at the dog, "You mean the stolen supplies are in front?"
"Wow -"
The Dog stuck out his tongue and nodded at Shigeru.
"I thought you didn't know where the supplies were!" Shigeru looked straight at the dog, remembering that when he asked about the supplies, the dog tilted his head in confusion.
"Woof?" The Dog looked back at Shigeru with a confused look on his face.
Seeing the dog like this, Shigeru was completely speechless, "Forget it, take me to get the supplies."
Shaking his head, Shigeru released the back of the dog's neck.
Anyway, let's see if this dog really knows what he's doing or not.
Translator's note.
This chapter received a lot of rewriting on my part, the protagonist/author was unbearable the entire chapter, they called the dog stupid and even the protagonist hit him for no reason, I did the best I could, I would understand him being violent against an enemy Summon, but with an allied Summon? Plus from minute one he was calling him stupid and hitting him, that attitude bothered me a lot.
