The Slug Sage's Test

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Shiyu also expressed slight skepticism.

"Yes. My clones are scattered around the Shikkotsu Forest and in the sea. You can see my main body anytime you wish," the Slug Sage said quite frankly.

"Okay, I believe you." Shiyu waved his hand, a few beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Then, what about the fourth ability?" Shiyu asked.

"The fourth ability, which is also the most important one, is an extension of the splitting ability, and it contains some more detailed capabilities."

The Slug Sage continued, "First of all, each of my split individuals can share vision, transfer chakra, and exchange information, since each split is a part of myself."

Shiyu nodded. Katsuyu had demonstrated this ability during Pain's attack on Konoha and later during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

"Furthermore, each of my clones can be teleported anywhere the caster can reach, anywhere you can sense."

Shiyu immediately said, "Can you sense it? Is that enough?"

"Yes. Your sensory abilities are like marking a location, while I possess powerful perception, allowing me to be quickly summoned to any location you desire!"

Shiyu nodded excitedly and said, "That's great! Just like my Flying Thunder God Technique, this way I can protect everyone's safety at any time."

"That's truly an honor! I can sense that your perception is also very strong!" The Slug Sage nodded, sensing Shiyu's sincerity and kindness.

"I can liquefy the last one and then transfer your chakra to someone else in the form of harmless bodily fluids," the Katsuyu said.

Shiyu was also taken aback. "Liquefaction... the Hozuki Clan's Water Transformation Technique?!"

"Hmm, I'm not entirely sure. Water Transformation Technique, but I think it can be understood like this: absorbing the Natural Energy in the water, using the technique to assimilate oneself into the Katsuyu clan's physique, liquefying it, which can increase the chakra of one's own people, as well as absorb the chakra of the enemy," the Slug Sage explained.

Shiyu was shocked this time. She had thought that what the Katsuyu ability, but now the Katsuyu was saying that it could learn it.

"Slug Sage! Is it really possible to learn? But I've already learned the Senjutsu from Ryūchi Cave! Does that mean the three Senjutsu use the same amount of chakra?" Shiyu asked anxiously.

"Yes, there is a certain difference Senjutsu Chakra, to put it simply, is chakra transformed after absorbing Natural Energy. However, Natural Energy contains both balance and difference. The five basic attributes— Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Earth —are also the basic energy elements existing among the five Natural Energy."

"In the Toad Kingdom's Mount Myōboku and the White Scales Sage's Ryūchi Cave, the Natural Energy is predominantly composed of the four elements of wind, thunder, fire, and earth. However, in Shikkotsu Forest, the Natural Energy is primarily composed of water, earth, and wood!"

"Wood element. Shiyu knows that water and earth can transform into wood, so could he possibly master Wood Release directly?"

The Slug Sage then said, "Although there are differences, I have never encountered anything like this before. What would happen if someone simultaneously received the inheritances of two immortal realms?"

"Let's talk about these things later. First, I want to know if you, Shiyu, are qualified to learn the immortal Senjutsu of the Shikkotsu Forest," said the Slug Sage.

"What do you mean?" Shiyu was also confused. Did he think that he couldn't accept the inheritance even after arriving here? What was the point of saying all that?

"Don't overthink it. I just want to check your chakra levels. If you don't have enough chakra, I might kill you. The size of the summoning Katsuyu determines how much chakra it consumes. If Shiyu performs group healing, without enough chakra, he could easily be exhausted to death."

Of course, Shiyu has the Gōketsu Seal.

"If that's the case, how can I let you sense it?" Shiyu asked.

"I'm the only one here, so I'll be safe. You can release all your chakra directly; my senses are very strong, I can tell at a glance," the Katsuyu said confidently.

"Is that so? Alright then, you'd better hold on." Shiyu held up two fingers, drawing out chakra, and then a stream of light blue chakra burst forth from Shiyu's body.

"Boom!"

The soft earth was instantly shattered by Shiyu, and the surrounding environment became extremely messy, as if it had been bombed by a bomber. The ground outside Shiyu was barren, and a terrifying storm was erupting from Shiyu.

"What terrifying chakra!" the Katsuyu exclaimed in shock. "You're so young, yet you already possess Kage Level chakra?! That's truly astonishing! At this rate, you could probably barely summon one-tenth of your true form."

"Only one-tenth? Is that still barely enough? Looks like I still need to work harder. You're a terrifying guy." Shiyu swallowed hard.

"Lord Shiyu, don't underestimate yourself. Even Lady Tsunade, at her peak and using the Hundred Healings Technique, could only summon one-tenth of my full power. Moreover, she is from the Senju Clan, so her chakra reserves are naturally much greater than ordinary people." The Katsuyu addressed Shiyu as "Lord," indicating that she considered Shiyu to be on the same level as Tsunade.

"Hmm, I underestimated you. Let's go again. I only used one-tenth of my chakra just now," Shiyu said calmly.

"What!?" The Katsuyu was also taken aback. "I find it hard to believe that it's only one-tenth. But Lord Shiyu, if you really do have it, then release it for me to see! Remember to use your full strength!"

Shiyu nodded and increased his chakra output once again. His chakra was already at the Kage Level from the beginning, not to mention that he had now obtained a large amount of branch bloodline power, making his original Otsutsuki bloodline even more complete.

Immediately afterwards, Shiyu's body changed once again. The surrounding light blue chakra grew stronger and more materialized, forming a hurricane that even forced the Slug Sage's enormous body backward.

"Even Lady Tsunade couldn't compare to this boy. This guy's chakra has already surpassed Kage Level!" The Katsuyu was completely incredulous, its body once again being blown backward by Shiyu: "His body slime can't even grip the ground? This guy's chakra is still getting stronger!"

Shiyu's chakra intensified once more. Immediately afterward, the entire Shikkotsu Forest began to tremble slightly.

"Impossible. Even the strongest has a limit. Who is this person? Their current chakra is already enough to summon seven-tenths of their true form. I can't believe someone like that exists in the world!"

"You must be kidding me?!" The Slug Sage was dumbfounded.
