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

Chapter 510 The Conflicting Relationship Between Chakra Ninjas and Chatonla Beasts!

With her Sage Chakra completely depleted, Tsunade was forced to exit Wood Release: Sage Mode, and the ancient, dark mask on her face naturally disappeared.

Just minutes ago, the slug princess was as fierce and brave as an invincible Valkyrie, but now she suddenly exudes a delicate and fragile aura.

Tsunade, whose face was slightly pale, deliberately looked away, refusing to respond to Nara Rinka's teasing remarks.

Once again, Tsunade was defeated by Nara Rinka. Although she felt slightly resentful, she was not too surprised.

Moreover, if the infamous Dark Shadow could be defeated with just the Wood Release: Sage Mode, Tsunade might even think that Nara was deliberately holding back.

But what's that old saying again?

Even if you lose the game, don't lose your spirit.

Tsunade twisted her face, pretending to be nonchalant as she looked at the scenery of the Shikkotsu Forest to the side, and stubbornly continued.

"That's simply because the duration of [Sage Mode] is too short!"

As if these words had given Big Fat Sheep some psychological comfort, she turned her head back and stared at Nara Rinka in her clear eyes.

"If it lasted any longer, I definitely wouldn't have lost to you!"

Although Tsunade did not unleash a single Wood Release ninjutsu after activating Wood Release Sage Mode, she was unable to experience the full power of this powerful S-rank ninjutsu.

However, Tsunade genuinely felt the enhancement effect of the Wood Release: Sage Mode on her Steel Fist Fluid Technique!

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Once she enters the [Wood Release Sage Mode] state, she can easily defeat at least four of her previous selves!

The mentality of wanting more after getting what one desires is something almost everyone has.

After briefly experiencing the power of Wood Release: Sage Mode, it's perfectly understandable that Tsunade would crave a longer period of Wood Release: Sage Mode.

Even though Tsunade currently has no idea how to extend the duration of the [Wood Release: Sage Mode] technique.

But it doesn't matter, she has a man who's a genius to the point of being abnormal!

"As you just saw, the duration of [Wood Release Sage Mode] is several minutes long. Where in the world can a regular ninjutsu last that long? In this respect, it surpasses many ninjutsu."

Nara Rinka first gave a tactful answer, and then began to explain the principles of the technique.

"Furthermore, whether it is the Wood Release Sage Mode, or the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest or Mount Myōboku, their core essence is to combine one's own chakra with the natural energy of the outside world."

"This means that the amount of Sage Chakra is not related to the external natural energy, but is determined solely by the amount of Chakra each person has."

"In other words, the best way to extend the duration of [Wood Release Sage Mode] is to increase your chakra reserves."

Upon hearing this, a little slug fairy perched on a nearby white tree couldn't help but offer an affirmative assessment.

"Lady Tsunade, Lord Lan Gui is right, both of you currently have too little chakra..."

It's better if the Living Slug Immortal doesn't speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of Nara Rinka and Tsunade.

Of course, they were all giving me rather unfriendly looks.

How could a "Chatura" summon like the Slug Sage possibly understand the painful psychology of ordinary ninjas who use chakra?

Perhaps it was the terrifying gazes of Nara Rinka and Tsunade that made the little slug shrank back. It then sprang from the branch and jumped onto another slug, merging with it directly.

This is probably how the Living Slug Sage "died"...

have to say.

Among the three immortals of the three holy sites.

The Living Slug Immortal has always maintained the most youthful mindset.

Despite being an ancient slug spirit that has lived for thousands or even hundreds of years, it is sometimes afraid of frogs...

Nara Rinkei wondered if the Slug Sage had some kind of psychological trauma from an old frog when he was young, which is why he believed the rumor that "frogs eat slugs".

of course.

Nara Rinkei is not saying that "frogs eat slugs" is a false rumor; frogs are indeed the biological predators of slugs.

The problem is that the Living Slug Immortal has grown to this size, reaching several hundred meters in length.

Could those toads of Mount Myōboku, even the legendary largest Iwajuku toad, possibly devour a live slug sage?

That's outrageous.

Since the Living Slug Immortal voluntarily "committed suicide".

Nara Rinka was too lazy to discuss the contradictory relationship between "Chakra Ninja" and "Chatura-dono Spirit Beast" with it.

Tsunade simply pursed her lips and let the live slug go.

"Nara, stop spouting those ninjutsu principles that I don't quite understand."

Tsunade stared intently at Nara Rinka.

"Since they're all 'mode ninjutsu,' didn't you also create your own 'Yang Release Chakra Mode'? Couldn't you have modified your 'Wood Release Sage Mode'?"

Tsunade knew that Nara Rinka had developed an A-rank technique called the "Yang Release Chakra Mode".

She also knew that this ninjutsu was developed by Nara Rinkei through "borrowing" the [Lightning Release Chakra Mode] from the Hidden Cloud Village.

This was actually Nara Rangkei who proactively informed them.

After all, the original version of the Yang Release Chakra Mode was a ninjutsu created by Nara Rinkei by combining the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the Chaotic Body Rush.

[Lightning Release Chakra Mode] I won't go into details.

【Chaos Rush】is Tsunade’s unique ninjutsu.

Nara Rinka would naturally not deliberately hide the existence of the [Yang Release Chakra Mode] from Tsunade.

In fact, Tsunade's chakra nature inherently includes "lightning".

It would be perfectly acceptable to let her train in [Lightning Release Chakra Mode].

But the thought of Tsunade transforming from a soft, juicy lamb into a strong, muscular one...

The sight of the cassia tree in Nara gives one a chilling feeling.

The Yang Release Chakra Mode is still more suitable for Tsunade.

At this moment, Tsunade's question was raised.

It's hard to hide the fact that Nara is adorned with laurels.

"I am indeed considering improvements to the Sage Mode, but this is a long-term project."

"As long as there's a plan, that's fine!"

Tsunade patted Nara Lankai on the shoulder with great satisfaction.

"I believe you can do it!"

In Tsunade's view

If Nara Rinka can replicate the Wood Release technique, then a simple Sage Mode is naturally no problem for him.

"If you want to resolve this issue as soon as possible."

Nara Rinka thought for a moment and then explained to Tsunade how Jiraiya and Naruto had operated.

"Actually, I have two other methods, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause..."

Tsunade doesn't care about "treating the symptoms but not the root cause".

Something that works is better than nothing!

Tsunade listened with great interest to the two methods that Nara Rinka later explained.

Not only that.

After listening to Nara Rinka's theoretical explanation, Tsunade immediately and excitedly dragged the Slug Sage along for a hands-on demonstration, having a great time.

Its main focus is on pragmatism!

After all, for Tsunade at this stage, the Wood Release: Sage Mode is definitely her trump card!

It's the kind of skill that, if you use it, you'll either kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy...

For ninjas, the tactic of "hiding their trump cards" is almost ingrained in their very bones.

What ninja would ever complain about having too many or too powerful cards in their hand?

Nara Ranke shook his head, no longer paying attention to Tsunade and the Slug Sage, and casually opened the S-rank scroll he had just obtained.

"...Oh? [Hundred Healings Technique]?!"

My cold hasn't gotten better; in fact, it's gotten worse...

I'll post a single update today...

Damn it, what's with the temperature fluctuating back and forth between minus and twenty degrees?
