"Katsuyu Sage, I'd like to learn Senjutsu. Lady Tsunade sent me here," Chinatsu said respectfully, bowing slightly to Katsuyu Sage.
"Tsunade? I see. Come with me, then. Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu isn't actually difficult to learn. Those with talent pick it up in no time, but those without it can spend their whole lives trying and never master it."
Katsuyu Sage turned her enormous body and led Chinatsu deeper into Shikkotsu Forest. As she moved, she kept boasting about how wonderful her Senjutsu was and how the other two schools were pathetically weak in comparison.
"Ryūchi Cave's Senjutsu is powerful, but the more deeply you master it, the more your body changes. You grow scales, a snake's tail, and things like that. That snake calls it 'becoming a dragon,' but I don't think much of it. At least until they reach that so-called 'dragon transformation,' they're just ugly creatures that look neither human nor snake."
"As for those toads at Mount Myōboku, theirs is passable. The more precisely you master it, the less Senjutsu affects your body. With perfect mastery, all you get are a few markings on your face. Still, it's nowhere near as good as our Shikkotsu Forest Senjutsu~"
Katsuyu Sage cheerfully bragged about her Senjutsu. Following behind her, Chinatsu could only offer an awkward smile. So this is what Katsuyu Sage is really like? Who would've thought? I never saw that coming.
"Of course, all this talk is rather pointless. We don't even know if you can learn it yet. So far, only that man has mastered Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu."
That man? Obviously, she means Hashirama Senju. But I'm sure that man won't be the only one to master Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu in the future.
Because... this woman is stepping up!
Katsuyu Sage brought Chinatsu into the depths
