Looking at his profile screen, Yuta could probably guess that he had passed a gene for strength and speed because he could easily punch through a tree with his fists. But when it came to chakra, he asked Tsunade to be sure. The answer he got was that the amount of chakra was almost half the amount of a genin.
Although Yuta didn't know any ninjutsu at the moment, he had already learned to resist gravity by gathering his chakra under his feet.
Looking at his increasingly cursed energy and statistics, Yuta raised his hand and whispered the lines needed to activate the Curtain technique.
"Yami yori idete yami yori kuroku sono kegare o misogiharae"
(Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure)
As Yuta finished speaking, a barrier appeared in the woods behind the Konoha, a barrier that could not be spied through.
It was now almost three in the morning. This was when Yuta felt the most physically energized. After Tsunade from the casino had fallen asleep, Yuta covered her and, after making sure she was asleep, came here, hiding in the shadows.
After the curtain was set, Yuta looked at his remaining rights to draw new summons. He had two bronze-level summons, two silver-level summons, and one gold-level summons.
Yuta planned to draw only bronze-level summons for now. He didn't plan to draw them until he was sure he could defeat the monsters that would come out of the silver-level summons.
"Huff..."
After taking a deep breath, Yuta used the system to use one of his bronze summoning rights.
As Yuta waited to be forcibly swallowed by the shadows, a staircase of shadows descending underground appeared one step in front of him. When Yuta saw that the system was not forcing him, he smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and began to descend the stairs.
With each step, Yuta could feel the stairs disappearing behind him, but he didn't even look back.
As Yuta felt himself nearing the end of the stairs, a countdown screen appeared.
When the ten-second countdown was over, Yuta was still descending the stairs and in no hurry, when suddenly a screen appeared that Yuta had not expected to see.
Yuta stopped and looked at the screen for a while and wondered why the system had not shown him this screen before. Maybe the system didn't want to break the magic since his previous opponent's only advantage was to look like a human.
[ Draw result: Stingray curse ]
[ A sweet cursed spirit that can fly without obeying the laws of gravity. Its attack ability is close to zero and its defense is not high. Very suitable for use as a flying vehicle]
[ Weaknesses: Cursed energy ]
Yuta kept walking, anticipating that this time his opponent would be quite easy, and after a while the stairs ended. Knowing that a few inches beneath his feet was the entrance to the indestructible arena, Yuta controlled the darkness beneath his feet and went into free fall.
As Yuta fell straight down into the center of the arena, he saw a pink figure swiftly floating towards him. Considering that it was a cursed spirit with almost no ability to attack, it was not hard to guess that the cursed spirit would try to hurt him by crashing into him.
As the pink flying stingray quickly approached Yuta and prepared to crash into him, it saw Yuta's hands surrounded by red translucent flames that made it feel in danger.
Yuta was preparing to face the pink figure when suddenly he saw the pink figure change direction and fly back the way it had come.
After Yuta fell to the ground, he regained his balance by crouching down and stood up again. Although he had a small body, he had good defense, so this level of height did not cause him much pain.
Yuta looked at the pink figure as it spun around in the distance and guessed that it would move to hit him after increasing its speed, but a system screen in front of him told him how wrong that thought was.
[ The stingray curse is too afraid of you to attack you, so it has decided to surrender. ]
Yuta raised one eyebrow as he read the system's message and found himself appearing in the middle of the forest.
The next second Yuta checked the darkness to call this cowardly monster.
A dark hole appeared in the ground in the clearing in front of him and the next second a pink stingray emerged from the hole and began to hover around Yuta. Yuta tried to talk to it, but the only response from the pink stingray was a chick-like sound.
After studying this stingray for a while, Yuta realized that it could indeed be used as a vehicle. Although the Pink Stingray was a brainless and weak beast, the way it flew was quite comfortable and its flying speed was as fast as the average chunin's running speed.
Yuta took one look at the pink stingray and decided that he could fit in with Tsunade, so he clasped his hands together, leaving only the pinky finger of his left hand exposed. Then shadow hands emerged from the ground and pulled the pink stingray into the shadows.
It was time for him to use the other Bronze summoning draw.
