"A genius. Perhaps you really can learn the Slug Sage's Sage Mode."
Tsunade was numb with shock. Now, she was even looking forward to Shamu learning Sage Mode.
After all, Shamu had said that the stronger he became, the greater his chances of successfully resurrecting people.
Since she had already promised Shamu before, Tsunade naturally would not go back on her word.
"Since that's the case, I'll take you to see the Slug Sage."
"Summoning Technique!"
Tsunade acted immediately, biting her finger and summoning Katsuyu.
A pleasant female voice immediately rang out.
"Lady Tsunade, how may I be of service?"
The voice was indeed lovely, but her appearance... was that of a slug as large as a person.
Fortunately, the slug's body was patterned in blue and white, making her look rather clean and refreshing.
Otherwise, Shamu might really have been unable to resist sprinkling salt on her.
Tsunade pointed at Shamu beside her.
"This is Uchiha Shamu, whom I mentioned last time. He is extremely talented and has already mastered the Strength of a Hundred Sealings Technique."
"He wishes to further study Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode, so I would like to bring him to meet the Slug Sage."
Katsuyu rose upright, extending her two antenna-like eyes as she looked Shamu up and down.
"What powerful Chakra and vitality. The Slug Sage should like you."
"I'll inscribe the contract on you now and take you to meet the Slug Sage."
Shamu relaxed inwardly at her words. He had thought he would need to spend some time persuading her, but Shikkotsu Forest was surprisingly easy to talk to.
Tsunade was somewhat surprised as well, but she figured it was probably because she had explained to Shikkotsu Forest's Slug Sage last time that the Otsutsuki would invade in the future.
"Very well.
