Okay, let me try forming hand seals.

Yi Shuihan began practicing hand seals according to the handprints on the scroll. Perhaps because of his already excellent foundation, his hands left afterimages, achieving more than ten hand seals per second. If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely be amazed, as his hand speed had broken through the heavens.

Itachi Uchiha's hand seal speed is among the best in the entire ninja world, with 6 hand seals per second. What does it mean for Yi Shuihan to perform more than ten hand seals per second? For every ninjutsu Itachi uses, Yi Shuihan can use 2 or 3.

Considering that Kakashi only uses two hand seals per second in his normal state, you can understand how shocked Yi Shuihan was at this moment.

"So fast, I can't even see it anymore."

In just two seconds, Yi Shuihan finished forming the hand seals, then placed his hands on the ground, mobilized his spiritual energy, and activated the Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique.

"Caw—caw—" It was as if the cawing of crows could be heard.

Yi Shuihan gave an awkward smile. "Well... it seems it didn't work!"

What's going on? I followed the instructions exactly! How come it's not working?

"Again."

His fingers danced again, this time slightly faster than Yi Shuihan's hand seals last time.

It failed again.

Then it continued.

failure!

continue!

After trying more than ten times, Yi Shuihan finally gave up. There must be something wrong with this, but Yi Shuihan hadn't found it.

Ying Zhun and Ying Wu weren't surprised that Yi Shuihan had failed to use the Reverse Summoning Technique more than ten times in a row. Ninjutsu wasn't easy to learn, and even the most talented person couldn't master a new ninjutsu overnight.

Yi Shuihan knew his own limitations. Although he was not a ninja, had never practiced hand seals, and did not even have the basic chakra to activate ninjutsu, none of this was a problem for him.

If he were to form hand seals, with his control over his body, he could easily become the number one ninja in the world. Even the Sage of Six Paths, who created ninjutsu, would probably not be as fast as him. He has a higher level of spiritual energy that can completely replace chakra. Therefore, as long as he knows how to release ninjutsu, Yi Shuihan should be able to release any kind of ninjutsu.

Even the attributes of ninjutsu are not a problem for Yi Shuihan. Spiritual energy can be said to encompass all attributes, which means that he can release ninjutsu of any attribute.

"My lord, the ancestor wishes to see you." Just as Yi Shuihan was wondering where things had gone wrong, Ying Wu suddenly said.

It seems they have a special method of communication! They can even reach people from this far away.

"It would be good to meet it. I was just about to ask it about reverse psychic abilities."

Yi Shuihan nodded and, led by the two eagles, arrived at the deeper part of the cave. There, he finally met the ancestor of the giant eagle clan. The giant eagle, which was only a hundred meters long, was the creature he first sensed to have strength close to the 7th level of the Black Iron Realm.

If this giant eagle were any younger, it would probably be a Black Iron 7-star.

The giant eagle looks very old, but its eyes seem to see through everything in the world, giving people a sense of wisdom.

Chapter 265, The Talent of the Giant Eagle Clan

"Nice to meet you, I am Yi Shuihan, please guide me." Under the gaze of the Giant Eagle Ancestor, Yi Shuihan uttered these words.

Only after the words left his mouth did he realize that this was exactly what a complete novice would say! It really made him look bad! As soon as the words left his mouth, Yi Shuihan felt his momentum weaken a bit.

Since things had come to this, Yi Shuihan didn't know how to make amends, so he could only continue as is, as a way of respecting the old man. Although he wasn't human, he was old enough at the time, so giving him some respect was acceptable.

"Heh...heh...heh," a slightly hoarse laugh came from the giant eagle's mouth. "I've long forgotten my name. My descendants call me Ancestor, and other beasts call me Eagle Immortal. You can call me Eagle Immortal or Ancestor."

"I'll just call you Eagle Immortal." Still trying to take advantage? Calling you ancestor? Dream on.

“I already know why you came from Eagle Tung. I can help you find out why your reverse summoning spell failed.”

Eagle Immortal spoke frankly, and those words immediately improved Yi Shuihan's mood considerably.

Ultimately, it was because Yi Shuihan demonstrated his strength that he succeeded. If Yi Shuihan hadn't been strong enough, the Eagle Immortal would never have offered to help him so readily, nor would he have obtained the cultivation scroll for the Reverse Summoning Technique so easily.

"Then thank you very much for your guidance, Eagle Immortal."

He said something polite and then waited quietly for the Eagle Immortal to explain.

"Then can you use the Reverse Summoning spell again in front of me?"

"no problem!"

Following his memory of the hand seals and the method of releasing ninjutsu, Yi Shuihan began releasing ninjutsu once again.

Unsurprisingly, it didn't work out.

After observing Yi Shuihan's ninjutsu release, the Eagle Sage narrowed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

After about a minute, Eagle Immortal spoke slowly, “Truly amazing. Both the speed of your hand seals and your movements are impeccable. And if I’m not old and my eyesight isn’t failing me, you must be using natural energy! For a human to be able to manipulate natural energy so easily is simply unheard of.”

It's no wonder the Eagle Immortal was amazed; humans who absorb natural energy are easily devoured by the forces of nature, and a moment's carelessness can lead to game over.

Moreover, even Sage Mode only borrows some natural energy, requiring one-third each of natural energy, physical energy, and spiritual energy to activate.

In essence, it uses chakra extracted from the human body to suppress the invasion of natural energy. This kind of Sage Art chakra is dozens of times more powerful than ordinary chakra, because it draws on one-third of the natural energy.

After all, what ninjas ultimately use is chakra; their use of spiritual energy is like the blind men and the elephant.

Yi Shuihan uses spiritual energy, which is natural energy, and the effect he exerts is definitely far beyond that of Sage Chakra, with its power being several times greater than that of Sage Chakra.

Not to mention, Yi Shuihan's spiritual energy is condensed into a solid, which makes it even more powerful.

"Did you input the chakra according to the amount on the scroll? If so, it's normal that you didn't succeed. You supplied too much energy. Sometimes more energy isn't necessarily better."

Eagle Immortal's words directly resolved Yi Shuihan's doubts.

"I see, that's very likely the case." So that's the reason. Sigh, being too powerful can cause some trouble!

Having obtained the answer, Yi Shuihan immediately put it into practice.

After activating the ninjutsu, Yi Shuihan remained in the same spot without disappearing, but he smiled because he could sense that although he hadn't succeeded, he was not far from success.

Ignoring the presence of the giant eagles, Yi Shuihan began forming hand seals again on his own.

Several more ninjutsu releases were made, each one closer to success than the last.

Finally, when he reduced his spiritual energy input to one percent, at the moment of releasing the ninjutsu, he finally felt the success of the ninjutsu. He could go to the ninja world as soon as he wanted.

However, Yi Shuihan did not disappear because, without the corresponding coordinates, it was impossible to determine exactly where in the ninja world he was going.

Generally speaking, whether it's a summoning jutsu or a counter-summoning jutsu, the jutsu teleports the person to the other party who has signed the contract. That is, the ninja uses his summoning beast as a coordinate, and the summoning beast uses the ninja as a coordinate. Only in this way can the summoning beast or person be accurately summoned to the ninja's side. Otherwise, if the summoning jutsu doesn't summon the summoning beast to the ninja's side, then it's meaningless, isn't it?

"How do we get these coordinates? If there's no way, we'll just have to teleport there randomly and spend more time figuring out the map."

The way to obtain coordinates is undoubtedly by signing a contract. As long as the names are on the same contract scroll, you can use reverse summoning to reach the other party's side.

Yi Shuihan revealed that he needed coordinates, unaware that the Giant Eagle Clan had no more contractors in the ninja world.

"To be honest, the last contractor of our clan in the ninja world died a few years ago. The reason why we agreed so readily to let you try was because of this."

"In that case, even if my name is written on the contract, there's no way to locate me?"

"Don't worry, there are ways to locate it. A long time ago, when we went to the Ninja World, we left coordinates. These coordinates are not the ones of the contractors, but real coordinates. There are more than a dozen coordinates, and they exist in the Five Great Nations and even some smaller countries. As long as you have these coordinates, you can still locate it."

Eagle Immortal's words once again delighted Yi Shuihan. In that case, he could appear in whichever country he wanted. Having coordinates was equivalent to having control over many teleportation points.

"Can I use these coordinates too?"

Yi Shuihan suddenly realized that there was no such method of teleportation in the original work, and it wasn't like the Flying Thunder God.

"Because our clan's special talent is related to space, we are able to create such coordinates and use them for teleportation. You can't do that, but if we write your name on our clan's contract scroll, then you can use these coordinates."

Such a thing actually happened! But it certainly doesn't sound like a lie.

Chapter 266, Finally, we've reached a place with people.

Does this mean they agree or disagree?

In fact, the answer wasn't very important to Yi Shuihan. If he agreed, it would indeed save him a lot of trouble if it were true, but if he didn't agree, it wouldn't have a significant impact on him.

In the end, Yi Shuihan nodded and agreed to sign the scroll, not for any other reason than the Giant Eagle Clan's sensible attitude. After all, Yi Shuihan was not the kind of person who would just take benefits without giving anything back.

Seeing Yi Shuihan nod, Eagle Immortal hurriedly told Eagle Wu to bring out the scroll.

Having witnessed Yi Shuihan's exceptional cleaning skills once again, Ying Wu and Ying Zhun couldn't help but admire their ancestor's vision and methods. With just a few words of technique, he had found them a powerful patron to rely on.

Holding the scroll in his hand, Yi Shuihan deftly unrolled it, revealing a group of names on it, numbering no less than a hundred at a glance.

"It really has a long history! It could be nominated as an intangible cultural heritage." He muttered to himself, his hands still busy, until he finally found a blank page.

"I just want to ask one question: is it necessary to write it in blood?" Yi Shuihan raised his head, his finger hovering near his lips.

Taken aback by Yi Shuihan's question, Eagle Immortal smiled wryly and said, "As long as it contains your aura, it will be effective. The reason for using blood is because blood has the best effect."

"That puts my mind at ease." Yi Shuihan laughed heartily, then a fountain pen appeared in his hand, and he quickly wrote his name on the scroll.

Of course, this was not the end. He then used his finger to trace the characters of his name again, imprinting his spiritual energy on it as a mark, so that it would have an effect similar to his own blood.

"Alright, now just tell me how to use those coordinates!" Yi Shuihan said to Eagle Immortal as he put the scroll away and returned it to Eagle Wu.

"It's very easy to use; you just need to feel it carefully."

Following the Eagle Immortal's instructions, Yi Shuihan closed his eyes and began to sense.

This perception was easily successful. Under his senses, 15 extremely familiar auras suddenly appeared. Each of these 15 auras was very far away from him, which would have been extremely difficult for him to perceive before.

"These auras must be the so-called coordinates! Let's give it a try."

Yi Shuihan preferred places with people to the spirit world, so he couldn't wait to cast the reverse summoning spell.

With a bang, Yi Shuihan's body turned into a cloud of smoke, and then he disappeared in front of Eagle Immortal and the others.

However, just 3 seconds later, with a bang, Yi Shuihan reappeared.

"Ptooey... ptooey..." Yi Shuihan spat out a piece of waterweed, and at the same time, a white mist rose from his body, indicating that the water on his body was rapidly evaporating. "It's actually at the bottom of the river!"

Cursing and swearing, Yi Shuihan ignored the eagles beside him and once again used the reverse spirit communication technique.

*Bang*, vanished...

Thump, she appeared, this time covered in a layer of snow...

*Bang*, vanished...

Thump, it appeared, with a few flowers hanging on its clothes.

It is unknown how many times Yi Shuihan returned, but he never came back.

"He probably won't be back for a while this time, you can all leave now!"

"What about the old ancestor and the guy who came with him?"

"Well, let's keep him here for now. Treat him well and explain what happened here."

"Yes, Ancestor, I'll go right away."

In a small town in the Land of Fire, Yi Shuihan was dressed in white, like an ancient knight-errant.

In front of him was a square table with a small pot of wine and several small dishes on it.

He took a sip of wine, then picked up a piece of meat, looking relaxed.

"Tsk tsk, the mortal realm is indeed better! Life here is truly blissful, like that of immortals." With a sigh, Yi Shuihan picked up his wine cup again and took a small sip of wine.

"Glug! It smells so good! Boss, what kind of wine is that? Bring us a pot too."

Not far from Yi Shuihan, several burly men with fierce faces were banging on the table and shouting loudly.

"Sorry, we don't carry that kind in our store!"

"No? Do you think we don't have money to pay the bill? How dare you look down on us? Look at this, and once you understand it, go get me some wine."

One of the men, a burly man with a red headband, pulled out a large stack of silver notes from his pocket and waved them in front of the shopkeeper.

The boss's eyes were completely drawn to the large stack of silver notes, and a greedy look appeared on his face. However, after glancing at the several tall and burly men, his ulterior motives vanished.

If there really was alcohol, the owner would have gone to get it already; after all, who doesn't want to make money? It's just that he genuinely didn't have any.

"Why aren't you going yet? Do you look down on us brothers? Do you still want to keep this shop open? Tell me, we're ninjas. If you anger us, we'll make sure you don't see the sun rise tomorrow."

The moment the burly man uttered the word "ninja," the onlookers and passersby around him immediately shrank back, their faces showing fear.

Although this is a world of ninjas, it is actually mostly made up of ordinary humans. Only those who possess chakra can be trained to become ninjas.

Compared to the entire human world, ninjas are still extremely rare. This is evident in the fact that a country may only have one ninja village, and a large ninja village may only have a few hundred ninjas, which shows how rare ninjas are.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are always groups of ninjas in anime. In reality, even a genin is an extremely terrifying existence in the eyes of ordinary people.

"This...this shop really doesn't have any. That wine was brought by the customer himself." The shop owner said, his face full of fear, trembling. He involuntarily took a step back, bumping into the table behind him with a clatter, knocking the glasses on the table to the ground and smashing them into dozens of pieces.

"Comes with it? Are you telling the truth?"

"It's the truth. Otherwise, I'll go over and ask around for you to see if we can spare some."
