I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

”So big!” Even though she was mentally prepared, Shizune was still shocked by the huge body of the Slug Sage.

The body of the Slug Sage was too big. The trees were like shallow grass beneath her.

”Slug Sage-sama.” Tsunade greeted the slug.

”Slug Sage-sama.” Nagasawa followed suit. Shizune also noticed her lack of manners and hurriedly bowed to the Slug Sage.

”Tsunade, I haven’t seen you like this in a long time.” The Slug Sage said softly.

”It has indeed been a long time since I last came here.” Tsunade looked around and noticed that Shikkotsu Forest was still the same as it used to be. There were towering trees and swamps everywhere.

”You must be the Nagasawa who wants the information about Shikkotsu Forest’s Sage Mode, right?” The Slug Sage looked at Nagasawa.

The moment Nagasawa entered Shikkotsu Forest, the Slug Sage’s attention was focused on Nagasawa.

He was like a scorching sun, and she could feel the intense light of the sun when she looked at him.

’This man is very dazzling. But at the same time, he is also very dangerous...’ This was the Slug Sage’s first impression of Nagasawa.

”Yes.” Nagasawa nodded. His first impression of the Slug Sage was very good.

Compared to the voice of the Great Toad Sage and the White Snake Sage, the voice of the Slug Sage was soft, like that of a young and gentle girl.

On the other hand, the Great Toad Sage was like a senile old man and the White Snake Sage was like an old hag who liked to order everyone around.

”Can you tell me what you plan on doing with Sage Mode’s information? If you want to learn Sage Mode, I can teach you. Practicing here will be safer and faster, too.” the Slug Sage said softly. The Slug Sage said softly.

”I want to create my own Sage Mode. In fact, I have also been to Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave before I came here.” Nagasawa said frankly.

”Is that so? No wonder you have their aura.” The Slug Sage nodded. If that was the case, it made sense.

”You are a very thoughtful person. Even after living for so long, you are one of the few unique people I’ve met. However, I have to tell you that it is extremely difficult to create your own Sage Mode.

”There were many people who had the same idea as you a long time ago, but they all failed.”

”I know, but I have enough confidence. I believe that I can pull it off. Even if I fail, I’ve tried.”

After doing so much, Nagasawa naturally would not give up at this point.

”Since you’re aware of what you are doing, then I won’t try to persuade you any further.” As she spoke, the Slug Sage fragmented a palm-sized slug and threw it at Nagasawa.

Although he didn’t know what the Slug Sage was planning to do, he sensed that the Slug Sage didn’t have any ill intentions, so Nagasawa didn’t dodge.

The little slug stuck close to Nagasawa, and the vast information about the training method of Shikkotsu Forest’s Sage Mode instantly entered Nagasawa’s mind.

”Thank you so much for your help, Slug Sage-sama.” Nagasawa bowed slightly to the Slug Sage.

He didn’t expect that the first Sage Mode information he obtained was from Shikkotsu Forest, not Ryuchi Cave or Mount Myoboku.

When the little slug finished relaying information, it merged into the Slug Sage’s main body once again.

Then, the huge Slug Sage moved, and another little slug was fragmented again. However, this time, the little slug emitted a white light, but its appearance was extremely confusing. Rather than a slug, it looked more like a light bulb.

The glowing little slug flew directly into Nagasawa’s hand, then merged into his arm, leaving behind a slug-like tattoo.

”Slug Sage-sama, this is...?” Nagasawa looked at the Slug Sage with a frown.

He could sense that the little slug that was emitting white light earlier didn’t seem to be alive.

”It’s something that I created using natural energy. It can be considered a compressed natural energy. I hope it can be of help to your Sage Mode’s research.” The Slug Sage explained in her soft voice.

”You’re very considerate, Slug Sage-sama. If I have a chance, I will definitely repay you one day.” Nagasawa promised.

Nagasawa was not tactless. He’d repay others’ kindness.

Compared to Ryuchi Cave, Mount Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest were undoubtedly much more generous. Fukasaku gave him toad oil that could help drawing natural energy, and the Slug Sage gave him a compressed natural energy directly.

If there was a chance, he would definitely return the favour.

”Don’t mention it. It’s a pleasant surprise to meet a special person like you after so long,” The Slug Sage said casually.

”If you really want to return the favor, then help me create more and taller trees here.”

Nagasawa looked at the tree that was dozens of meters tall and fell into deep thought.

The Slug Sage was hundreds of meters tall, so those trees clearly looked short in her eyes.

However, he couldn’t use Wood Release. Even Kakashi and Shisui, who could use Wood Release wouldn’t be able to.

”I will try once I’m strong enough to do so in the future.” Nagasawa said after thinking about it.

”Then I will wait.” The Slug Sage said softly, as if she truly believed that Nagasawa could do so.

After obtaining the information he wanted and even the compressed natural energy, Nagasawa didn’t stick around for long. After a brief rest, they set out again.

”Even the Slug Sage that Lord Tsunade usually summons is really big. I didn’t expect that the real Slug Sage is actually ten times bigger than that.” Even the usually calm Shizune couldn’t help but exclaim.

”She is one of the Three Sage Regions’ ruler that has lived for over a thousand years, after all.” Tsunade said somehow proudly.

She was basically bragging because she could summon the Slug Sage.

”Lord Tsunade, it’s all thanks to you that I can successfully reach Shikkotsu Forest. I think I should treat you to a meal.” Nagasawa, who was in a good mood, said with a smile.

”Just a meal? Who do you think I am? There’s a big line of people who want to treat me to a meal out there.” Tsunade raised her chin slightly and said with a proud expression.

Nagasawa didn’t think that Tsunade was just bragging. She was the best medical-nin at this stage.

Even the Shinobi from another country or even Konoha’s enemy would address her ”Lord Tsunade ” or ”Princess Tsunade”.

”So, is that a yes or no?” Unfortunately, Nagasawa wasn’t one of those Shinobi who would fawn over Tsunade.

”Sure, I have nothing to lose anyway. But you have to treat me at the most expensive place in Konoha.” Tsunade quickly replied. She had always been happy to spend Nagasawa’s money.
