Becoming a Partner

Saruten looked at the palm in front of him and his mind was filled with the word "become stronger".

He couldn't help but reach out with a trembling hand. The moment he was about to touch it, he quickly retracted his hand and said with a dim expression,

"But I... I will be a burden to you."

He knew his own strength very well. The other monkeys all said he was trash.

Although it sounded very angry, it was the truth.

This little monkey was quite considerate of others.

However, the more innocent he was, the easier it was to deceive him.

Uchiha Tunan straightened his face and looked straight into Saruten's eyes.

"Life is like an ant standing on the ambition of a swan. Life is as thin as paper and should be unyielding.

You are just wrong in the training method.

As long as you accept my guidance, I believe that you will become a strong person soon.

You must have confidence in yourself. If you don't try, you will not know how much energy you have in your body.

I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

When Uchiha Tunan poured the chicken soup into his heart, Saruten immediately perked up as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He placed his hand in Uchiha Tunan's palm.

"Thank you for your trust. I will definitely live up to your expectations.

I will work hard to become a strong person."

After saying this, Saruten's eyes burned with passion and his heart was filled with hope. In his mind, he even imagined the scene of him becoming a strong person in the future.

Seeing Saruten like this, Uchiha Tunan smiled and nodded.

Very good, this monkey is hopeless.

Immediately, Uchiha Tunan led Saruten all the way to the Water Curtain Cave.

The closer they got to the Water Curtain Cave, the more monkeys there were.

On the cliffs on both sides of the stone steps, monkeys squatted on branches, scratching their ears and cheeks, shouting excitedly,

"Is that the human who just signed the contract?"

"I heard that Enma said that the human is very strong. Maybe he will be stronger than Master Yuan Fei in the future."

"Why is Saruten following him?"

"I don't know. Maybe he is pestering the human to take him to the Ninja Realm."

"I'm afraid he is dreaming."

"That's right. If he can go, I'll lick your butts next to him."

....

When these words reached Saruten's ears, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He clenched his fists and lowered his head.

Those questioning voices echoed in his heart, causing his originally hopeful mood to fall to the bottom.

Uchiha Tunan did not need to turn his head to guess how terrible Saruten's mood was at this moment.

He said lightly,

"Before you have the strength, try not to argue with others.

Only the strong have the right to speak.

When you are stronger than them, they will care about your emotions.

The Huaguo Mountain is too small, just a small place.

The little demon of the temple has a strong wind, and the shallow pond is more than eight.

When you come with me to see the wider world, you will be ridiculed by those people today. They are just ignorant."

Saruten, who was behind him, nodded silently, but his mood could not recover for a while.

Uchiha Tunan was not anxious. After all, people who had been ridiculed for a long time would feel inferior from the bottom of their hearts.

This situation could not be changed with a few words. The most useful thing was strength.

Not long later, a man and a monkey arrived at the Water Curtain Cave.

In the middle of the Water Curtain Cave was a huge hot spring with many medicinal herbs floating inside.

The entire cave also emitted the smell of medicinal herbs. Although it was a little thick, it was not bad. The rich and mellow smell made people feel calm.

Ape Demon sat on a stone chair and quietly observed the little monkey soaking in the hot spring.

Seeing Uchiha Tunan bring Saruten in, Enma raised his eyebrows slightly and asked,

"Tunan, have you chosen?"

Uchiha Tunan bowed to Enma and said, "Lord Ape Demon, I want Saruten to be my companion."

Enma did not come up to mock Saruten like the other monkeys. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Uchiha Tunan nodded firmly.

"I am sure that Saruten has great potential in his body, but it has not been developed yet.

I believe that he will definitely grow into a strong partner in the future."

When Saruten saw Uchiha Tunan praise him like this in front of Enma, a warm feeling rose in his heart.

Enma did not say anything else. He nodded and said,

"Hmm... alright."

Then I will add Saruten's name to the contract.

When the time comes, you will first summon him.

If you want to summon me, you only need to increase the amount of Chakra.

"But you and I are not partners, so every time you attack, you need to pay extra fees."

Uchiha Tunan smiled indifferently and said,

"No problem, Lord Ape Demon."

Then he turned around and placed his hands on Saruten's shoulders. He stared at him with a smile and said,

"Saruten, I will return to the Ninja Realm first. I will summon you later."

Saruten raised his head and looked at Uchiha Tunan's eyes full of trust. He couldn't help but think in his heart.

This was a partner...

"Thank you... Tunan."

...

Evening.

Uchiha Tunan led Saruten along the streets of Konoha, dragging a long shadow behind him.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, and it also shone on their bodies, adding a warm feeling.

Saruten tried his best to restrain his curiosity, but his eyes could not help but wander around, looking at this novel place.

He looked like a country bumpkin entering the city.

However, Uchiha Tunan was not impatient at all. Instead, he patiently explained everything in Konoha to him.

He pointed to this place, pointed there, and explained a lot of things that he did not know.

The passers-by were not surprised when they saw Saruten. After all, Psychic Beasts and Ninja Beasts were very common in Konoha.

At most, they would just stand in place and look at it a few more times, looking for something new.

Just like that, Uchiha Tunan led Saruten all the way to Uchiha's land.

Uchiha Tunan was preparing to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs first. Because the quantity was relatively large, he still chose to purchase from Uchiha's medicine shop.

After all, the price of Uchiha's medicine shop was much cheaper than outside.

Saruten said with a curious expression, "Tunan, where are we going now?"

Uchiha Tunan said lightly, "We will go to the pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs first. We will give you the medicinal herbs that should be paid to your clan first, and then go to my house to cultivate."

When Saruten heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed across his face. "I haven't helped you yet. Wouldn't it be bad if you pay first?"

Uchiha Tunan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have the herbs I want to buy myself. I might as well buy them all."

"Are you sick?" Saruten asked doubtfully.

Uchiha Tunan shook his head and said,

"No, I just want to cultivate a secret technique. I need these medicinal herbs."

Saruten nodded and said, "You are so powerful. The secret technique that you value should be very powerful."

The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth curled up slightly. "You will know when you practice it."

Saruten was slightly stunned when he heard this. He said with a face of disbelief, "You want to pass the secret arts to me? Can I learn the secret arts of humans?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy in Uchiha's territory.

"How will you know if you don't try? Good things have to be shared with your companions."

After Uchiha Tunan finished speaking, he walked into the pharmacy.
