The Difference Between the Three Great Sage Modes

At Hanzo's residence.

"You brat, you've made quite a name for yourself!" Hanzo said, looking at Su Zheng and teasing him.

"No matter how big it is, I'm still your nephew!" Su Zheng replied with a fawning smile.

Hanzo tapped him and said with a smile, "You brat, you quietly eloped with Tsunade and then challenged the Five Kage. You've put us, the Hidden Rain, on the spot!"

"Oh, Uncle!" Su Zheng said, grabbing Hanzo's arm and acting spoiled. "How about this, I'll bring Tsunade to see you next time!"

"Alright, stop messing around. Tsunade and the others have fought me before. Are you trying to embarrass me by bringing her to see me? I don't care about your affairs, handle your own business!"

"Right now, I'm not managing anything. I'm just happily cultivating every day. Don't ask me about the affairs of the Hidden Rain anymore. You figure it out yourself!" Saying that, he waved his hand, signaling for Su Zheng to leave.

Su Zheng drank his tea and said, "Uncle, I'm leaving."

The only response was a silent back. Su Zheng turned and went to the Development Department.

His Six Paths power had awakened, and the Yin-Yang Release was also skillfully mastered. Now was the time to gradually insert wedges!

Development Department.

"This is the plan for the next stage. Prepare to implement it!" Su Zheng handed a document to his subordinate official.

It was a plan to "acquire and reform the clan industries of the Land of Birds and the Land of Fields." White Zetsu had already gained a foothold in these two countries, waiting for the Land of Rain to take over.

Su Zheng had already gradually encroached upon a portion of the industries within the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers according to the plan. Once the Third Great Ninja War began, it would be time to completely take over these countries!

Dean's Office.

"Honey, have you missed me?" Su Zheng asked, holding Tsunade in his arms and tilting her chin.

Tsunade replied sweetly, "Yes, I miss you every day!" As soon as she finished speaking, her expression changed. "You still dared to challenge the Five Kage alone. Do you know how worried I was about you!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll never dare to do it again!" Su Zheng pleaded with a bitter expression.

Then, he said mysteriously, "Do you notice anything different about me since I came back this time?"

Tsunade gave him a sideways glance. "What's different? Did you grow two more pounds of flesh!"

Heh heh! Su Zheng gave a devilish smile and kissed her lips.

After a long moment, they parted. Tsunade trembled all over, shocked. "You this..."

"This is my new ability. Want to try it?" Su Zheng tempted her.

Tsunade went limp. If the Sage of Six Paths knew that Su Zheng was using his power for such things, he might just jump out and beat him up!

The entire afternoon passed. It wasn't even the end of the workday, but the dean had already run off. However, no one dared to say anything about her, after all, she was Lady Tsunade.

Tsunade's Home.

Su Zheng said, "I told the Third Hokage that you are my woman!"

"Mhm, so what if you did!" Tsunade said lazily. "I wasn't planning on going back anyway. It's nice here!" She then looked at Su Zheng playfully.

Su Zheng was slow for a second, then immediately reacted and kissed her beautiful red lips, promising, "I will definitely treat you well!"

There was no helping it, his leverage was in her hands!

Su Zheng hugged Tsunade tightly and asked, "How much do you know about Sage Mode?"

Tsunade shifted into a more comfortable position and thought for a moment. "Learning Sage Mode depends on opportunity!"

"You're like Jiraiya. He was summoned to Mount Myōboku when he was young, which allowed him to learn. But neither Orochimaru nor I could."

"I couldn't because I'm not suited for it. The Sage Mode of the Forest of the White Snake doesn't match my fighting style. Orochimaru wasn't recognized by the Ryūchi Cave, so he couldn't learn it either."

Su Zheng said, "Have you ever thought about learning the Sage Mode from the Ryūchi Cave? This Sage Transformation is very suitable for you!"

"Look, your Hundred Healings Technique heals wounds by activating your cells, but it consumes a lot of Chakra and lifespan. The Sage Transformation of the Forest of the White Snake also involves cell activation, which can perfectly compensate for this deficiency!"

Tsunade's beautiful eyes darted around. She kissed Su Zheng fiercely. "Your idea is really great." Then, she became dejected again. "But this isn't something you can learn just because you want to!"

Su Zheng comforted her, "I will definitely find a way!"

"Mhm!"

Sand Village, Ninja Academy.

"Katsuyu-nee, I want to sleep at your house tonight!" a black-haired boy said.

"Okay!" Katsuyu hugged Ye Yu close, her heart filled with hatred for the Mist Village ninjas. It was they who had killed her and Ye Yu's parents, turning them into orphans.

The girl had hair that was a mix of birch and green, and a determined face. This boy was naturally Su Zheng's alias (Ye Yu).

Katsuyu's Home.

"Konohamaru, will you be good when you're home alone?" Ye Yu ruffled a girl's hair.

"Mhm!" The girl replied with a smile, eating the candy Ye Yu gave her.

Konohamaru was also an orphan. Her parents had died in a battle against the Mist Village. Katsuyu, sharing the same misfortune, kept her at her home.

After dinner, Ye Yu called Katsuyu to train, while Konohamaru played nearby.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Ye Cang dodged the kunai Ye Yu threw at her. Just as she was about to turn, Ye Yu's clone appeared behind her, kunai pressed against her back!

Even though Ye Yu was young, his combat power and talent were extraordinary. Ye Cang felt that he would definitely be no weaker than her in the future.

"Heh heh!" Ye Yu chuckled as he touched Ye Cang's head. This was an agreement between them: whoever lost would have their head patted by the other.

Seeing Ye Cang's reluctant expression, Ye Yu laughed even harder!

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

Boom boom boom!

The strong wind blown from Ye Yu's mouth kicked up sand and dust, sweeping across the sky!

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow. Ye Cang, not to be outdone, formed hand seals and unleashed "Scorching Style: Over-Evaporation Kill!" Three red fiery rings flew towards a small patch of forest.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

In just a moment, the small forest began to emit large amounts of steam, and its trees and leaves rapidly withered!

Ye Yu teased, "Sis, you killed this little forest that we finally got!"

Ye Cang glared, grabbed Ye Yu's ear, and said, "You rascal, you're deliberately trying to annoy me, aren't you? You're not sleeping in my bed tonight!"

"Ouch, it hurts, Sis, I was wrong!" Ye Yu pleaded with a pained expression.

Ye Cang hadn't used any real force and knew he was just being dramatic. She tapped his forehead and let go.

"Hahahaha!" Konohamaru burst out laughing. Ye Yu-bro's exaggerated expression was truly hilarious.

"Heh heh!" Ye Yu, having gotten away with it, picked up Konohamaru and headed home.

PS: I was short by a thousand characters yesterday. Although it was two chapters, it was still five thousand characters. Today, I'll make it up to you guys with three chapters, ten thousand characters. Generous, right!

I don't like to break off these chapters abruptly, so sometimes there will be more, and sometimes less. Please bear with me!
