The moment Itsuki pressed [Yes], the floating screen in front of him flickered once before stabilizing, its glow reflecting faintly in his widening eyes as new lines of text appeared in clear and simple status window.
[ Binding successful ]
[ Random summoning system activated ]
[ First summon available ]
[ Initiating summon... ]
Itsuki stared at the screen, and his face instantly cracked into a dangerously manic grin. All the physical exhaustion from trying to pop water balloons for two hours was instantly tossed out the window.
"Holy shit, no fucking way! It just starts right now?!" he gasped, his voice cracking slightly. Finally! Something goes right! Fuck you, Rasengan! Fuck you, chakra control! Daddy's got a god-tier cheat code delivered straight to his door!.
A soft white glow formed in midair, condensing into a small, circular disc that hovered silently for a brief moment before drifting toward the lake, its movement smooth and deliberate, like it knew exactly where it needed to go.
Itsuki tilted his head slightly, curiosity overriding any instinct for caution as he followed it with his gaze. "Okay… dramatic entrance, I dig it," he muttered, taking a step forward. The disc reached the surface of the water and paused, and for one brief second, everything was still then it expanded.
The glowing disc stretched outward, growing larger and larger until it spanned several meters across, the water beneath it shimmered violently, ripples spreading outward in heavy waves that disrupted the previously calm surface.
"Yeah… that's definitely not small," he said under his breath, his heart starting to beat faster as anticipation built inside him. Please let it be a high-tier waifu with massive mommy milkers, or at least some Broly-level broken powerhouse to murder all my future enemies. he thought shamelessly. I deserve an absolute SSR pull after getting run over by truck-kun. The light flared one final time, almost blinding in its intensity, before the system text appeared again, cutting cleanly through the moment.
[ Summon completed ]
[ You have summoned - Gyarados ]
[ From World "Pokemon" ]
Itsuki blinked. "…Wait," he said slowly, his brain taking a second longer than it should have to process that name, and before he could even fully react, the system continued, dumping information into his vision with the same detached tone as before.
[ Gyarados - Gyarados is a Water/Flying type Pokémon. ]
[ Gyarados is a serpentine, dragon-like Pokémon. It's mostly blue, and has a long body and gaping mouth full of sharp teeth. It also has a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head and four white dorsal fins. It is infamous for its volatile temper, often linked with tales of destruction. ]
[ Once Gyarados goes on a rampage, its ferociously violent blood doesn't calm until it has burned everything down. There are records of this Pokémon's rampages lasting a whole month. ]
[ Gyarados has been adapted to fit the power system of the current world. Its abilities have been converted into chakra-based techniques. ]
[ Its biology has been adjusted to resemble summoning creatures of this world. ]
[ Thank you - next summoning will be on your 8th birthday ]
The panel vanished, and immediately afterward, the lake exploded as something massive surged upward from beneath the glowing disc which now vanished, water crashing outward in violent waves as a long, serpentine body tore through the surface, easily stretching over ten meters as it rose into view. Its scales gleamed a deep, intimidating blue under the sunlight, its massive jaws lined with sharp teeth that looked more than capable of tearing through flesh and bone without effort, and its crimson eyes scanned its surroundings slowly, deliberately, like a predator assessing a new hunting ground.
Itsuki froze for a second, his brain finally catching up to reality, and then his face lit up with pure, unfiltered excitement. "Holy shit…" he breathed, his voice filled with awe as he felt the sheer quantity of the Gyarados's chakra dense and overwhelming that it made his own reserves feel laughably insignificant in comparison.
Fear, No who will fear their summon, however then his mind latched onto one conclusion with reckless enthusiasm. "This is insane I got something seriously strong" he said, almost laughing as his thoughts jumped ahead at full speed. "If I can make a summoning contract with it, I'm set. Wars, missions, survival everything becomes easier." My cheat is awesome, he realized, his grin sharpening. I just won a fucking lottery.
Unfortunately, reality had other plans. Gyarados shifted slightly in the lake, its massive body sending slow, heavy ripples across the water as its gaze moved across the surroundings before finally settling on the one idiot standing at the shore.
Itsuki, still riding his own delusions of control, stepped closer without hesitation, raising a hand casually like he wasn't addressing something that had just been described as a month-long disaster generator.
"Hey, big guy" he called out, his tone far too relaxed for the situation, "can you stay hidden here for a while? Just don't cause any trouble until I go to mom and learning making summoning contract. Till then—" He didn't get to finish that sentence. Gyarados turned its head fully toward him, its red eyes locking onto his form, and in that instant, something shifted in the air.
Itsuki's body went completely still, his muscles locking up as if they had suddenly forgotten how to function, while an overwhelming pressure slammed into him without warning, crushing down on his mind with suffocating intensity. His heart began to pound violently, each beat louder than the last, his breathing turning shallow. "W-what?" he whispered.
What is this feeling this tingling sensation at back of my head its my first time experiencing, is this what people call Killing Intent. his thoughts spiraled as panic crept in. Why is it looking at me like that? The answer was quite simple. Because it wants to kill me.
The pressure intensified, digging into his mind like something invasive, twisting his perception and amplifying his fear to the point where even thinking felt difficult, his vision narrowing as that massive, predatory presence consumed everything else. Move, he told himself desperately, he tried refining chakra on instinct but his body refused to move from it was like his body was frozen in place. Move, damn it!
Gyarados opened its mouth, chakra gathering rapidly as water condensed in front of it. Itsuki's eyes widened in horror as the attack fired, a high-pressure blast cutting through the air toward him at terrifying speed. "Fuck—!" he tried to move, his body responding sluggishly, like his thoughts and actions were out of sync, his instincts screaming at him to dodge.
And then something changed. The world snapped into clarity, the suffocating fear loosening its grip for his mind to focus, and suddenly, he could see everything with impossible precision the flow of the attack, the chakra inside it and the trajectory.
I can see it… But his body was too slow. Move! He shifted, barely, not enough, and the water blast slammed into him a fraction of a second later, sending his small body flying backward before crashing violently into a tree with a sickening crack. Pain exploded through his side as the impact knocked the air out of him, his vision blurring for a moment as he collapsed onto the ground.

"…ghk—" he choked, clutching his side weakly as his mind struggled to stay functional through the pain. Ribs… definitely cracked, he concluded dimly, his breathing uneven as he lay there, barely able to move. A small puddle of water had formed nearby from the impact, and as his gaze drifted toward it, he caught his reflection and froze.
His eyes were no longer normal. A single tomoe spun slowly within his pupil, glowing faintly against the red. "…Sharingan…" he whispered, disbelief cutting through the pain for just a moment as his thoughts raced.
That pressure earlier… that wasn't just only killing intent, he realized, forcing himself to focus despite everything. It messed with my head… like a genjutsu. His gaze shifted weakly back toward Gyarados, which remained in the lake, watching him with the same predatory intensity. Its ability… Intimidate to adjust this world got converted into something like a passive genjutsu… and my Sharingan broke it.
The intense life-or-death shock, combined with breaking out of Gyarados's Intimidate Genjutsu, had forcefully awakened his Uchiha bloodline. Under literally any other circumstance, he would be doing a victory lap and screaming about his new visual prowess.
Right now? It meant jack shit.
Because the ten-meter-long rage dragon was still in the lake, lower jaw dripping with water, red eyes fixed on him as it prepared to charge a second blast to finish the job.
Because the thing that had almost killed him was still there and it didn't look like it was done yet.
Panic surged back into him as his heart pounded harder, his earlier excitement completely gone, replaced by the cold, suffocating realization of just how badly he had misunderstood his situation. "System!" he shouted internally, his thoughts frantic as he forced his barely functioning body to stay conscious.
What the hell is this?! Why did it attack me?! Aren't summons supposed to listen to the summoner?! Silence answered him. No response. No explanation. Nothing. And lying there, injured, struggling to breathe, staring at a creature that clearly had no intention of obeying him.
Itsuki finally understood the situation and said the three magical words " I am fucked. ".
