Tsunade activated the Reverse Summoning Technique and brought the two of them to the Great Slug Sage.
The two looked up and exclaimed in amazement!
This slug had to be more than ten stories tall!
"Lady Tsunade..."
Wow, this slug was a huge lump, but its voice sounded so cute!
This old thing was actually pretending to be young!
"What made you suddenly think of coming to see me?"
Tsunade pointed at Kakuzu beside her.
"This is Kakuzu. He wants to learn the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest."
Slug turned its tiny eyes toward Kakuzu, examining this man with his rather peculiar body.

The Sage Mode of my Shikkotsu Forest isn't just a single technique. It's a technique that requires you to actively adapt and change according to your own circumstances.

Only those born with a powerful ability of a single nature, those with exceptional comprehension, or
