Master, please become the Hokage

It's like the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky.

The second eruption was like the Yellow River flowing back.

Just as Sarutobi Ryo was about to use Dust Release...the voice of Slug Sage came.

"Don't resist, I will cleanse your essence and marrow..."

The Slug Sage's thoughts were directly poured into Sarutobi Ryo's mind in a way and version that he could understand.

Scientifically speaking, this is a form of communication in which chakra electromagnetic waves are transmitted directly into the brain.

In an instant, the Slug Sage's vast and mysterious consciousness... and the mixed meanings therein, made Sarutobi Ryo understand everything.

Sarutobi Ryo: "The immortal touches my head, and I am blessed with eternal life..."

......

The outskirts of the Wet Bone Forest.

Uzumaki Mito was closely watching every move.

Her perception was fully activated in order to understand every detail of what was happening.

From the very beginning, I was shocked when I "saw" the Slug Immortal, and was awed by its unimaginably huge body.

It is the despair towards the powerful strength of the Slug Immortal.

Uzumaki Mito couldn't imagine that there was such a huge monster on Earth.

What is even more unexpected is the risks Hashirama faced when he came here to train.

After "seeing" an attack of that scale, Uzumaki Mito didn't know how she, as a human being and a ninja, could survive.

Because Hashirama had not yet mastered the magic at that time, the ultimate killing move he used was just to maintain the structure of the wooden man at about 50 meters.

It was not until he learned the immortal arts that he mastered the "True Thousand Hands", a technique that allowed the wooden man to reach a height of over 500 meters and even crush Uchiha Madara's complete form of Susanoo.

So, was Sarutobi Ryo submerged in a large amount of strong acid and evaporated on the spot?

Thinking of this, Uzumaki Mito's breathing quickened, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but reveal an extremely expectant look...

Chapter 232. Slug Immortal, I want you to help me!

Gurgle.....亻.

Soaked in strong acid, Sarutobi Ryo's body was completely destroyed.

This method of awarding is no less painful than being thrown into a frying pan, and it is unbearable pain for everyone.

However, Sarutobi Ryo was among them and realized the true meaning of the Slug Sage.

decades ago.

Hashirama Senju walked into the center of the Wet Bone Forest from the outside.

Just by completing this step, Hashirama Senju, whose body surface was constantly corroded by the strong acid fog, completed his transformation.

The three holy places have different names.

The reason why it is revered as a holy place is because of its different natural environment.

That is... a Feng Shui treasure land.

The environment here is extremely special.

For example, Myoboku Mountain is rich in toad oil.

It can help practitioners absorb natural energy.

Uzumaki Naruto once asked Sennin Fukasaku if he could take the toad oil out for use.

The immortal Shen Zuo replied that it was not possible.

Once the toad oil reaches the outside, it will evaporate and disappear immediately.

In other words.

Dragon Cave and Wet Bone Forest also have similar environmental characteristics.

The natural environment of the Wet Bone Forest is originally a part of spiritual practice.

Hashirama Senju was corroded by strong acid, and while he had the ability to regenerate himself, natural energy also entered his body and transformed his body.

so......

Only ninjas with a certain resistance to strong acids, or extremely fast regeneration, can complete the training in the Wet Bone Forest.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why Hashirama Senju died young.

No matter how strong a ninja's body is, it cannot transcend certain established limitations.

Rapid regeneration also consumes life.

Cells divide a certain number of times.

This is the reason why Hashirama Senju died in middle age.

And Hashirama Senju walked to the side of the Slug Sage and completed the "cleansing of essence and marrow".

Then the Slug Immortal only needed to give him some pointers, and he would have completed his acceptance of the immortal arts.

Sarutobi Ryo's situation is completely different.

Because of Mei Terumi's Boiling Release and Dissolving Release, the first step of training was equivalent to taking a shortcut.

Without being corroded by the acid mist, it came before the eyes of the Slug Immortal.

so......

The Slug Immortal immediately began to teach a more powerful method of cultivation.

She directly spit out a special concentrated acid to help Sarutobi Ryo "cleanse his essence and marrow".

After this process is completed, Sarutobi Ryo's body will be transformed into a "senjutsu container" more powerful than Hashirama Senju.

Until then.

The techniques he performs will completely surpass Hashirama Senju and reach an incredible level.

so......

Gululu...

The concentrated acid fades.

The figure of Sarutobi Ryo appeared.

Many places where bones had been corroded began to regenerate rapidly.

Sarutobi Ryo protected his heart and activated the Hundred Healings Technique to help with recovery.

Almost instantly, Sarutobi Ryo recovered as before, growing back his muscles, skin, and hair.

boom.

Sarutobi Ryo knelt on one knee, took a deep breath, and carefully felt the changes in his body.

"I...understood everything..."

The words had just fallen out, before the slug could even utter a word of congratulations.

Sarutobi Ryo closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.

Snapped.

In a flash, many things happened.

Sarutobi Ryo's thoughts spread throughout the Wet Bone Forest.

The transformed immortal vessel body sensed all the natural energy on the earth.

this moment.

Just like the Nine-Tailed Fox in the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke in the original work.

Sarutobi Ryo stirred up the wind and clouds, completely absorbing the natural energy from the surrounding earth, sky, and lakes in a way that was invisible to the naked eye.

"!"

When Uzumaki Mito saw that Sarutobi Ryo was alive, his eyes changed.

Then, as she sensed the environment, her legs went limp and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Uzumaki Mito, with a look of despair on his face, "saw" something that others could not see.

The natural energy in the entire earth, sky, and lakes seemed to be swallowed by a giant beast and poured madly into the devil's body!

Such a massive amount of chakra absorption completely exceeded what Hashirama at his peak could handle.

"This chakra..."

Uzumaki Mito was completely desperate about this.

In her perception, the "total amount of chakra" of Sarutobi Ryo, who completed this absorption, was no longer as simple as chakra tons.

In the original work.

The total amount of chakra of Hashirama Senju = Uzumaki Naruto + Namikaze Minato + Yin Nine-Tails + Yang Nine-Tails.

After using Sage Mode, the total amount of chakra will increase by "one third", which is 133%.

And this moment.

Sarutobi Ryo's total chakra volume crushed all the tailed beasts and ninjas.

It increased directly to a level close to the Ten-Tails.

After completing this amplification, Sarutobi Ryo slowly opened his eyes.

"Congratulations... Practitioner..."

The Slug Immortal's cold voice came from the sky.

Facing a human with a chakra amount close to 10 tails.

Her thoughts remained calm.

After all, even if an ant grows ten times larger, it can still be crushed to death by humans.

That's all.

"So... next..."

When Sarutobi Ryo opened his eyes, a sage's mask appeared on his face.

After cleansing his essence and marrow, the total amount of chakra in his body increased dramatically, and he became a practitioner of fairy arts even better than Hashirama Senju.

In addition to absorbing the natural energy of the surrounding nature, the chakra approached the Ten-Tails in one fell swoop.

Sarutobi Ryo clasped his hands together and looked up.

The huge black shadow is the true form of the Slug Immortal.

boom!

Sarutobi Ryo suddenly jumped up and threw his body into the clouds.

In an instant, murderous intent arose.

"Immortal Technique...Dust Escape!"

hum! ! !

The terrifying light broke through the clouds.

The huge beam of light that pierced the sky and the earth was like a super laser cannon, directly destroying part of the body of the Slug Immortal!

The sudden change left Uzumaki Mito dumbfounded.

Soon, the battle of the century began.
