I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 506 Big Fat Sheep, I'll Help You Cultivate!

Jiraiya, carrying the Hokage's new orders, rushed to the Land of Rain.

Nara Rinka then summoned another of the Three Ninja.

"Look, Grandpa's [Sage Mode] training scroll."

Tsunade, who had just stepped into the Hokage's office, received an unexpectedly huge gift.

"Grandpa's [Sage Mode]?"

Tsunade's first reaction was shock, followed by confusion.

"Where did you get this? Did you figure it out yourself again?"

Tsunade did not suspect that Nara Rinka was deceiving her.

Tsunade knew from past experience that Nara was indeed a super genius who didn't play by the rules.

He can even research the Wood Release Chakra Creation Method, so what else can't he research?

If Nara Rinka suddenly told Tsunade one day that he had gone to the moon, the latter probably wouldn't have much of a suspicion.

Tsunade knew that Nara Rin had been secretly researching immortal techniques all these years and had learned many secret techniques from the slug.

She also learned a lot of magical arts from Nara Rinka, such as the [Celestial Guidance Technique], which significantly enhanced her perception abilities.

If Nara Rinkazu said that he had somehow managed to recreate Hashirama Senju's "Sage Mode," it wouldn't be anything particularly unusual.

It was indeed a bit fast...

Nara Rinka had no idea that the fat sheep was talking badly about him in his heart. When he heard what the other person said, he simply waved his hand.

"This wasn't something I researched myself; it was given to me by Master Chukaku of the Fire Temple."

"The Temple of Fire?"

Tsunade picked up the scroll on the table and froze upon hearing this.

"How come they have Grandpa's 'Sage Mode' scroll?"

The Senju clan has no information on Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode scrolls, and they haven't inherited even the slightest bit of related content. At most, they only have a few "ordinary Wood Release ninjutsu" such as Myojinmon and True Several Thousand Hands.

As a result, the Fire Temple obtained one of Hashirama Senju's core inheritances?

"It must have been left to the Fire Temple by my great-grandfather, for reasons unknown."

Nara Langui spread his hands, indicating that he also did not know the specific reason.

"However, I did hear from the Living Slug Sage that when my great-grandfather was researching Sage Mode, he consulted the Fire Temple."

Tsunade reluctantly accepted this explanation.

She walked to the sofa, sat down next to Nara Rinka, and casually opened the scroll in her hand.

Nara Rinka manipulated the shadow tentacles to pour a cup of hot tea for the fat sheep.

Before long, Tsunade finished reading the scroll in her hand, her brows furrowing slightly.

Nara Rinkazu spoke up at the opportune moment.

"can't read?"

"It's not that bad."

Tsunade tossed the S-rank scroll aside, picked up a teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

"The principle is very simple, there's nothing incomprehensible about it."

"But I don't know if I can succeed in cultivating it."

The principle behind 【Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju】 is the same as that of 【Sage Mode】 in Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest.

Absorb external natural energy, balance it with your own chakra, and then fuse and create Sage Chakra.

The principle does seem simple.

The difficult part is the cultivation process of [Sage Mode].

"Tsunade-neechan, would you like to learn Grandpa's [Sage Mode]?"

"Isn't that obvious? I've always admired my great-grandfather."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Nara Rinka.

"Besides, I now also meet the training requirements for this [Sage Mode]."

Every member of the Senju clan worships Hashirama Senju.

Not to mention a direct granddaughter like Tsunade!

Unfortunately, Hashirama Senju's most powerful ability was Wood Release.

As for the previous situation of the Senju clan, let's not go into details.

Now, with the help of Nara Rinka, Tsunade has successfully obtained the power of Wood Release, and can naturally follow the path that Hashirama Senju took back then.

Even if you can't become a pillar, you can still be a fat sheep—

Well, I should say I should become a pillar of the Senju clan in modern times!

"Alright, I can help you with your cultivation."

Nara Rinka nodded and offered his solution.

When Tsunade was training in Wood Release, Nara Rinka helped her.

The specific method is as follows: Nara Rinkei uses the Shadow Manipulation Technique to directly synthesize Wood Release chakra within Tsunade's body, and then gradually transforms her body into the shape of Nara Rinkei.

You can also follow this method to train in Sage Mode: Hashirama Senju.

To master Wood Release, one needs to create Wood Release chakra.

To cultivate immortal techniques, one needs to create immortal chakra.

There is no difference between the two in principle.

"However, let's still find another accident insurance policy!"

Nara Rinka thought for a moment, bit her finger, and then pressed it on the table.

A small, blue and white slug appeared on the table.

"Good afternoon, Living Slug Fairy."

"Hello, Lady Lan Gui, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade nodded to the Living Slug Sage in response.

Her attitude towards live slugs has always been the same.

"The Living Slug Immortal"

Nara's Langui Road leads straight to the mountain.

"Tsunade is planning to train in Sage Mode recently. As far as I know, there is a very special ninja tool in Mount Myōboku that can expel the natural energy from the body of a practitioner."

"I wonder if there are any special ninja tools like these in Shikkotsu Forest that can be used to assist in Sage Mode training?"

There is little risk involved in practicing Wood Release.

However, cultivating the "Immortal Mode" requires constantly facing the influence and invasion of natural energy.

Nara Rinkachi was confident he could help Tsunade with her training.

However, he doesn't mind having another insurance policy.

"I apologize, Lord Lan Gui."

The live slug fairy twisted its little head and said apologetically.

"There are no such ninja tools in the Shikkotsu Forest, but... may I use one?"

Nara Rinka and Tsunade were both puzzled.

"what?"

"It is like this, Lady Lan Gui, Lady Tsunade."

"The Living Slug Sage said softly."

"Although there are no such special ninja tools in Shikkotsu Forest, I can help absorb natural energy."

"During Tsunade's training in Sage Mode, as long as my skin is in contact with hers, I can absorb the excess natural energy in her body at any time, thus avoiding any problems or mistakes in her training."

As a "great immortal" of the three holy lands, the Living Slug Immortal naturally absorbs natural energy.

"I need to explain that Tsunade didn't practice the Sage Mode from Shikkotsu Forest, but rather the Sage Mode of her great-grandfather—yes, the First Hokage."

Nara Rinka could fully understand the abilities and methods of the Living Slug Sage, but she still couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Is that okay?"

"Regardless of the type of Sage Mode, it requires absorbing external natural energy to create Sage Chakra."

"The Living Slug Immortal said softly."

"The main risk of cultivating Sage Mode lies in the imbalance between one's own chakra and the natural energy of the outside world."

"If there is too little natural energy, it will be impossible to create Sage Chakra; while if there is too much natural energy, it will easily cause the practitioner to transform and lose control, turning into a slug, a frog, or a snake."

"With my assistance, I will keep a close eye on the total amount of natural energy in Tsunade's body. Once it exceeds Tsunade's chakra, I will immediately absorb that natural energy."

"This has nothing to do with which Sage Mode Lady Tsunade practices."

"Unless, the First Hokage's Sage Mode did not generate Sage Chakra in this way."

"Grandpa's [Sage Mode] is indeed somewhat different from that of Shikkotsu Forest."

Nara Rinkasa pondered for a moment and decided to personally demonstrate it.

After obtaining [Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju], he still hasn't found a suitable opportunity to test its power and effects.

The Living Slug Sage is a perfect opponent!

"Tsunade-neechan, Slug Sage, let's go to Shikkotsu Forest and test out... [Wood Release Sage Mode]!"

Second update.

The third update won't be until after midnight.
