"Mr. Yang, this isn't Konoha Village, is it? Have you graduated already?" As the giant slug treated Mirai, it remarked that this was not Konoha Village.
"Not yet! But I think it'll be soon! A friend of Mirai's was kidnapped by Cloud Ninja, and Mirai came to save me!" Mirai smiled, showing that he still held the giant slug in high regard. The three sacred lands had their own origins. Hashirama seemed to have learned sage arts from the slug.
