Notify the Hokage and Tsunade

Uchiha Kō snapped out of his daze, a sense of joy welling up inside him. Anyone who became the object of desire for the Three Great Sage Regions would surely feel uneasy.

He continued practicing in the family training grounds, using golden Fire Release, Iron Sand Magnet Release, and Wood Release? Wood Release? Forget it, using that technique would probably get him questioned.

Around eight o'clock, Uchiha Kō first went to the Hokage Building to greet the Hokage.

"Lord Xiao, you said you were invited by the immortal of Ryūchi Cave to cultivate Senjutsu?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened. He had also heard of the Three Great Sage Regions, after all, his three disciples, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, were all contractors of the Three Great Sage Regions.

Uchiha Kō nodded, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen gasp. Uchiha Kō was already Kage Level fighter; just imagine how powerful he would be after mastering Sage Mode.

He looked at Uchiha as if he were looking at his own son, and said with a smile, "Lord Xiao, don't worry, I'll approve your leave. You can come back as long as you want. Focus on your cultivation; the future belongs to you young people."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took this matter very seriously, patted Uchiha Kō on the shoulder, and smiled.

This scene is somewhat similar to the one where the crown prince is often ill; you should encourage him.

Uchiha Kō understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Uchiha Kō- Lord Hokage. After I complete my training, I will return to serve Konoha!"

"Okay, go ahead!" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

After Uchiha Kō left, Sarutobi Hiruzen used Summoning Jutsu to summon Enma.

"Enma, are you familiar with the Three Great Sage Regions?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked calmly.

"Hiruzen, I know that, what do you want to ask?" Enma scratched his head.

"Uchiha Kō was recruited by the Ryūchi Cave Sage to learn Senjutsu. What do you think the success rate is?" Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and pondered.

"If that's the case, it's only a matter of time before Uchiha Kō masters Sage Mode. He will definitely succeed in the end. Sages have the ability to foresee the future, and the White Snake Sage can see the future. He must have seen a vision of Uchiha Kō's future." Enma frowned.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes. "So, the White Snake Sage thinks highly of this kid?"

Enma nodded and remained silent. Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, "You go back first, I'll think about it."

A leader remains calm even when Mt. Tai collapses before them, and unperturbed even when the Yellow River bursts its banks. They do not show their joy or anger, nor do they express their likes or dislikes, nor do they let their pessimism show on their face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was pondering whether Uchiha Kō's departure would be good or bad for his rule.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Kō headed straight for the Senju Clan Compound. If he remembered correctly, it was a day off, and Tsunade should be home. He needed to go and tell her.

Upon arriving at the Senju Clan Compound, he knocked on the door. Nawaki opened it and immediately put on a fawning expression upon seeing Uchiha Kō.

"Brother-in-law, you're here. My sister's home! I'll go call her." Nawaki was very clever. If she wanted to have a good life, she had to please her sister. And how to please her? She would find it in her brother-in-law.

Uchiha Kō nodded and then walked into the courtyard, while Nawaki quickly informed Tsunade of the news.

Tsunade received the message, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're quite the smooth operator." She pointed at Nawaki, then gave him two thousand taels of silver. "Here you go."

Then she tidied her hair in front of the mirror, and only after she looked perfect in the mirror did she get up and walk towards Uchiha Kō in the yard.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Uchiha Kō standing under a cherry blossom tree, looking at the cherry blossoms above him with a smile on his lips.

Tsunade's heart was pounding wildly. Handsome men and beautiful scenery together—who could resist!

Uchiha Kō turned his Tsunade, then walked up to her. "I have something to tell you."

Tsunade blinked. "Good news or bad news?"

"There's good news and bad news," Uchiha Kō sighed.

"And what's the bad news?" Tsunade wanted to hear the bad news first, to prepare herself.

"I'm going to train in three days, I don't know when I'll be back," Uchiha Kō said.

Tsunade's disappointment was palpable; she pouted, "Then what's the good news?"

"The good news is that the White Snake Sage sent Manda to invite me to train in Senjutsu." Uchiha Kō smiled.

Tsunade taken aback. "Manda? Orochimaru's summoning beast? Is it inviting you to Ryūchi Cave? Or is it the White Snake Sage's doing?"

Uchiha Kō nodded. "Not only the White Snake Sage, but also the Katsuyu Sage and the Great Toad Sage sent people to invite me, but I ultimately chose Ryūchi Cave."

"But cultivating the Sage Mode can be dangerous, Lord Xiao, you..." There was some worry in her eyes, as a contracted member of the Three Great Sage Regions.

She understood that each sacred land possessed powerful Senjutsu and Sage Mode, and she had previously discussed with Jiraiya and Orochimaru how to cultivate their Sage Mode.

The Senjutsu of Shikkotsu Forest will be enveloped in slime. If one cannot master Sage Mode within a certain timeframe, they will be assimilated into a clone of the Katsuyu Sage.

The Mount Myoboku Senjutsu involves coating the entire body with Toad Oil to sense Natural Chakra and mastering the ratio of Natural Chakra to internal Chakra in order to succeed. If this is not mastered, over time one will turn into a frog and eventually into stone.

However, with two immortals present, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu are more direct and violent. The White Snake Sage uses two venomous fangs to pierce the inheritor's Senjutsu Chakra into their body. If they can withstand it, they have mastered it; if they can't, they are eaten by the White Snake Sage.

Therefore, it can be deduced that Ryūchi Cave is the most difficult, Shikkotsu Forest is the next most difficult, and Mount Myoboku is the safest.

Orochimaru gave up on Sage Mode, and Tsunade didn't have much confidence either. Only Jiraiya practiced Sage Mode, but after so long, it seems like he hasn't made much progress.

"Lord Owl, maybe we should just forget about it. What's so great about Sage Mode? Our safety is the most important thing," Tsunade with some concern.

Uchiha Kō smiled and patted Tsunade's head, saying, "Only by cultivating Senjutsu and achieving Sage Mode can we better protect our little princess."

"Oh, okay." Tsunade was still sullen, pouting.

Just then, Uchiha Kō grabbed Tsunade's waist, lowered his head, and kissed her Tsunade lips.

"Ugh~" Tsunade groaned. She hadn't expected Uchiha Kō to be so bold. She struggled symbolically for a moment, then stopped resisting.

Letting Uchiha Kō do as he pleased, both of them were in a daze, sensing each other's presence.

"Take a breath." Uchiha Kō reminded her, noticing that Tsunade's face was turning red and she was frowning. Sure enough, after Uchiha Kō's reminder, Tsunade's brows relaxed.

Their body temperatures continued to rise, and they were lost in this state when Nawaki's appearance broke the ambiguity between them.

"Sister, brother-in-law, Grandma is calling you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was completely dumbfounded.

Tsunade pushed Uchiha Kō away, then released her Chakra, gritting her teeth, "Nawaki! Come here!"

The scene that followed was extremely intense.
