Konoha: I have a gravity training room

In that case, her future as Hokage will definitely be easy!

Haha! Say yes now!

Xia Mu didn't hesitate and nodded immediately: "Okay! Three times is three times, it's a deal!"

Seeing this, Sasuke and Neji could only agree: "Okay! I agree too!"

Although they are unable to complete S-level tasks now, they think it is only a matter of time, and it won't be too far before they can read the Thousand Hands Collection.

Tsunade clapped her hands decisively, "That's settled! So, what's your second request?"

Xia Mudao (cbbe): "I want to talk to the slug."

"Slug?"

This made everyone even more confused. What was there to talk about with a psychic beast?

Only the knowledgeable Tsunade, Shizune and Kakashi understood that the slug was not ordinary. Natsuki specifically sought out the slug to talk, and it was definitely not to talk about trivial matters. If nothing unexpected happened, it was definitely to become stronger.

Tsunade didn't refuse, "Of course you can, but why don't you just talk here? I'm curious about what you want to talk to the slug."

Xia Mu nodded without objection.

Tsunade immediately bit her finger to form a seal and slapped her hand on the table: "Summoning Technique!"

Bang! A slug the size of a washbasin appeared on the table and spoke in a pleasant voice: "Lady Tsunade, what do you need me to do?"

The others who saw the slug for the first time all looked at it curiously. Although they had heard that Tsunade-sama's summoning beast was a slug, they didn't expect it to look like a slug.

I don’t know what Xia Mu wants to talk about with Slug.

Tsunade pointed at Natsuki and said, "This little guy is looking for you. His name is Natsuki and he wants to talk to you."

The slug turned his head and looked at Xia Mu: "Hello, Master Xia Mu."

Xia Mu waved his hands quickly: "Sir, don't be so polite. Although you are the avatar of the Slug Immortal, you are also the consciousness of the Slug Immortal, right?"

Slug fairy? This little slug is a slug fairy?

Tenten, Shino, Neji and Sasuke were all surprised, which was not surprising, after all, the younger generation knew too little about the three holy places.

The slug nodded. "Yes. Unlike the toads that live in groups on Myoboku Mountain and the snakes that swarm around Ryuchi Cave, I'm actually the only one in the Wet Bone Forest. My body is so huge that every time Tsunade-sama summons me, it's just a clone."

Xia Mu smiled and said, "Each person occupies a holy land. The Slug Immortal is much more powerful than the Toad Immortal and the White Snake Immortal."

"Natsumu-sama is so complimentary."

Slug's voice was still pleasant, "What did Master Xia Mu want to talk to me about?"

Xia Mu did not hide it: "Actually, I want to ask, does the Wet Bone Forest have a method to practice the Sage Mode?"

This is Xia Mu’s purpose!

He actually wanted to ask Jiraiya before, but he and Jiraiya were not really familiar with each other, and Jiraiya might not like him either. It was already a favor for Flying Thunder God that he was able to give him four sealing techniques.

Therefore, Xia Mu did not talk to Jiraiya again, so he could only turn his attention to the slug.

As an immortal from one of the three holy places, Slug should have immortal mode, right?

"Sage mode?"

The little ones heard unfamiliar terms again, and even Tiantian heard it for the first time.

Because Xia Mu hadn't mentioned it to Tiantian yet. After all, many things were quite troublesome, and it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing if Tiantian knew about it.

Chapter 170 Talking with Slugs

"Sage Mode, that's..."

Kakashi explained, "It's said that this is a special training method that only the sages of the three holy places possess. They can absorb natural energy and use it for their own benefit, dramatically increasing their offensive and defensive power. Oh, and Jiraiya-sama learned Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku. It's quite powerful."

The Sage Mode that only the Sages in the Holy Land can achieve?

A sudden increase in offensive and defensive power?

Lord Jiraiya, too?

This information made the little guys feel a little dizzy. It seemed that there were still many things they didn't understand.

Sasuke clenched his fists again, his eyes sparkling. He had never thought that Xia Mu actually knew so many things that no one else knew, and even had the nerve to ask about them. No wonder Xia Mu was so strong.

Because Xia Mu walked ahead of others!

Sage Mode, the offensive and defensive power increases dramatically, he also wants to learn it!

Although Slug was curious about Xia Mu, he didn't refuse to answer: "Yes. The three holy places all have methods to practice Sage Mode."

Xia Mu continued to ask: "The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama-sama, did he learn his Sage Mode from the Wet Bone Forest?"

Slug nodded, "Yes. Master Xia Mu knows a lot."

You know too much!

Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts, because the questions Natsuki asked were more outrageous than each other. There were some things that even Tsunade might not know, but Natsuki got the information from somewhere.

The first generation can use Sage Mode?

And he learned it from the Wet Bone Forest?

Unheard of!

Xia Mu didn't care about what others thought and asked the key question: "Um, Slug Immortal, I actually want to ask how to absorb natural energy."

The slug looked at Xia Mu curiously for a long moment before speaking, "Master Xia Mu doesn't seem reckless. You should know that rashly absorbing natural energy carries the risk of petrification, right? Yet, you still ask me this question. Actually, it's not impossible for you to learn Sage Mode. You could sign a contract with me and then come to the Wet Bone Forest to practice. But I see you want to explore on your own."

Xia Mu spread his hands and said, "The Sage Mode of the Three Holy Lands is not suitable for humans after all. I want to try to figure it out on my own."

Slug: "Even if it's dangerous?"

Xia Mu: "I know it's dangerous, and I won't do anything rash. I'll just try it once I'm sure it's safe."

Tenten and Shino looked at each other subconsciously. Only they knew why Xia Mu was so bold.

Of course, it is because on the first night of every month, Xia Mu can enter that magical dream and will not be harmed in any way. It is the best time to conduct experiments.

Xia Mu even dared to open the eighth death gate in that place and survived!

Therefore, Xia Mu really dared to take the risk of petrification!

As long as he can find the Sage Mode that suits him, Xia Mu's strength will skyrocket again!

Even though Tenten and Shino were worried about Natsuki's behavior, they could only let it go. After all, Natsuki could indeed ensure that he was fine, so there was no reason to stop him.

They all understood that Xia Mu wanted to become stronger, so they could only support him.

The slug was silent for a moment, seemingly communicating with the Slug Immortal's main consciousness. It took a long while before it spoke again: "Since Lord Xia Mu wants to know how to absorb natural energy, I won't refuse. I will inject a small amount of natural energy into your body. There is a certain risk. Are you sure you want to try it?"

Xia Mu waved his hand: "I'll try using my shadow clone. Just remember the feeling of natural energy entering your body. Thank you for your help."

As he spoke, he formed a seal with one hand and created a shadow clone.

The slug nodded, jumped directly onto the shadow clone's shoulder, and then bit the shadow clone's shoulder, injecting natural energy.

The shadow clone held on for a while, then suddenly turned into stone and exploded, but fortunately the feeling of natural energy entering the body also reached Xia Mu's mind, making Xia Mu breathe a sigh of relief.

He expressed his sincere gratitude, "Thank you, Slug. And Tsunade-sama, thank you as well."

The slug turned his head and said, "Master Xia Mu, you are welcome, but I still warn you not to act rashly. Natural energy is really dangerous."

Tsunade also said: "No need to thank me, just remember the slug's warning."

Xia Mu smiled brightly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. I have a beautiful and lovely rich girlfriend. There are good days waiting for me in the future. I won't be stupid enough to take risks with myself!"

This is true, but why does it feel like this guy is showing off again?

What should I do if I really want to hit someone?!

Instead, the slug looked at Tiantian and said, "You are Lord Tiantian, right? So you and Lord Xia Mu are lovers. Please keep an eye on Lord Xia Mu and don't let him take any risks."

·· ·Request flowers· ····

Tiantian blushed slightly: "You are too polite, Slug Immortal. Just call me Tiantian. Xia Mu won't do anything rash, and I will keep an eye on him, so don't worry."

"That's good. Well, everyone, I'll take my leave now." The slug went back with a thud.

Everyone had only one feeling: the Slug Immortal's clone was very polite, and his voice was very gentle and pleasant.

At this point, everything that needed to be said was said. Tsunade didn't keep anyone here. She waved her hand and asked everyone to go back and rest. She also said that she might arrange another task in two days.

The village did have a lot of tasks during this period, and it was good enough for the jonin and chuunin to have two days of rest.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Kakashi warned Natsuki again before leaving with Gai.

..... ... ....

At this time, Sasuke couldn't help but speak: "Xia Mu, I always feel that you always know something that we don't know. I am impressed by you."

Ningji also nodded. Many of the things Xia Mu said today were beyond his understanding.

Tenten and Shino, however, were not surprised, as if Natsuki should have known everything.

"Hey, if you read more, ask more, and learn more, you will naturally know more."

Xia Mu responded casually, "Let's go back and rest first. You just fought with the Sound Five, you must be exhausted. We'll have plenty of time to talk later if there's anything."

Naturally, everyone had no objection and waved goodbye.

Shino was the last to leave, and before he left, he said, "Natsuki, everything you taught me, the Six Styles and the Taiyang Fist, all came in handy this time."

There was no thanks in this sentence.

But Natsuki understood what Shino meant. Shino was saying that the moves Natsuki had researched before were of great help, and he was very happy and grateful. As they were brothers, there was no need to say extra words, as thanking too much would make things seem awkward.

Xia Mu smiled gently, and went to the ninja tool store hand in hand with Tiantian to report that they were safe, and then went straight back home.

After taking a bath together, they slept in each other's arms.

He had been lurking in the Land of Rice for a month. Although he was not injured and even his chakra consumption was small, he was still in a state of high tension. Only now did he finally relax.

As for Tiantian, she was a little tired from the previous battle, and she was worried about Xia Mu's safety, so she was always uneasy.

Now I finally feel relieved.

Chapter 171 Strengthening Tiantian

The next day, Xia Mu and Tiantian were at home relaxing for a rare occasion.

Of course, they also do morning exercises every day, but their morning exercises are separate because the location, method and intensity of morning exercises are different, so it is more convenient to do them separately.

After morning exercise and breakfast, Xia Mu asked Tiantian to review the battle with the Sound Five.

However, when Tenten and the others arrived to support them, the Four were already dead, so they only participated in the battle with Kimimaro. Tenten only listened to Shino's general account of the battle between the others and the Four.

Mainly, the battle with Kimimaro was the most thrilling.

After all, Kimimaro was risking his life, and the final Warabi Dance was so heroic that it makes people unable to let go for a long time.

After listening to this, Xia Mu also began to analyze Tiantian's weaknesses: "Your ninja tool operation is fine. With the blessing of special ninja tools, you can indeed reach the level of "537" of a jonin. The Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Exploding Talisman is also very powerful. However, the power of the ninja tools seems insufficient and may even be restrained. The explosion of a large number of Exploding Talismans may affect you and your teammates."

Tiantian nodded and said, "That's right. I feel like I didn't perform well this time."

Xia Mu glanced at Tiantian.

This time she played a huge role!

First, Badora came rushing to help, and then 500,000 detonating talismans forced Kimimaro to use the Early Warabi Dance at the risk of his life.

If I don't perform well every day, then wouldn't the others be useless? Remember, Kakashi and Gai are here, and they haven't done their job well either, have they?

The Corpse Bone Clan is indeed powerful, but the two elite Jonin did not show the strength they should have.

But he couldn't force it, after all, Kakashi hadn't mastered the Mangekyō yet, and Kai couldn't open the last few gates of the Eight Gates at will.

Xia Mu didn't dwell on this question, but instead asked, "Do you have any other moves?"

Tiantian nodded and took out a pile of scrolls. "I sealed some things in scrolls, so I can summon them and use them at any time. These include mountains, sea water, flames, and poisonous smoke. However, at the time, I thought these would not be effective against Kimimaro, so I didn't use them."

These scrolls are the result of daily hard work.

With Tiantian's current amount of chakra, he could already seal mountains and large amounts of seawater into the scroll.

For example, the big wave that Tian Tian had to struggle to perform during the second Chunin Exam in the original work can now be done easily, and the amount of seawater that is sealed in is also huge.

Such strength is already very impressive.
