Kitazawa blinked and asked.
"Ah."
Tsunade explained, "If you ever encounter Danzo Shimura while you're out, have the slug summon you to leave."
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Live slug" is the real name of the wet bone forest slug.
It's worth mentioning that Shikkotsu Forest is different from Ryuchi Cave and Mt. Myoboku. This sacred place for summoning beasts has only one summoning beast, which is the slug.
In the original work, the slug was extremely large, and even Tsunade and Sakura Haruno combined their efforts to summon its complete form.
Compared to Ryuchi Cave and Mt. Myoboku, the slugs of Shikkotsu Forest are more of a support-type summoning beast.
First, a live slug can split into countless smaller live slugs.
Second, these small slugs can share vision, thereby enabling chakra transfer and intelligence transmission.
Third, contract ninjas can perform remote healing through live slugs.
Fourth, contract ninjas can achieve large-scale area healing through countless small slugs, making it the ultimate medical ninjutsu.
Of course, in addition to their support abilities, slugs also have combat capabilities.
First, its enormous size alone can crush many enemies.
Second, it can attack enemies with corrosive liquids, dissolving everything upon impact.
In the original work, it was a special attack that Orochimaru tacitly acknowledged as capable of killing him.
Kitazawa opened the contract scroll and found many names.
After all, the three holy lands of summoning beasts have existed for over a thousand years.
It existed before ninjas existed in the ninja world.
Kitazawa glanced at them; he only recognized two: Hashirama Senju and Tsunade.
In the original work, it was not actually mentioned that Hashirama Senju was the contractor of Shikkotsu Forest.
Because he had never summoned the live slug.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. He's too strong, so strong that he can end the battle without needing a summoning beast.
After signing his name, Kitazawa closed the contract scroll and returned it to Tsunade.
"Try summoning the live slug."
Tsunade put away the contract scroll and said.
Kitazawa nodded, formed a hand seal, bit his thumb, and pressed it to the ground.
With a bang, a soft-bodied creature, entirely white except for its blue back, appeared from the smoke.
Kitazawa didn't use much chakra, only summoning a half-human-sized slug.
"Tsunade...wait?"
The slug noticed Kitazawa, and its gentle voice suddenly became filled with doubt.
Because it had discovered that it wasn't Tsunade who had summoned it this time.
His name is Kitazawa.
Tsunade introduced herself, saying, "He is the new contracted ninja of Shikkotsu Forest."
"I see."
The slug's pleasant voice rang out again, "Lord Kitazawa, I am the slug. You may call me by my name."
"Master Lively."
Kitazawa responded immediately.
Of the three sacred sites for summoning beasts, the snakes in Ryuchi Cave have the worst tempers, while the slugs in Shikkotsu Forest are the friendliest.
Not only did he address all his contractors as "sir," but he also worked tirelessly without complaint and never asked for sacrifices or any other reward.
It is powerful, obedient, and has a pleasant voice; it is simply a model among spirit beasts.
"You can get to know each other briefly first."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Kitazawa, when you have time, have Katsuyu take you for a stroll in Shikkotsu Forest."
"Ok."
Kitazawa greeted the slug and then dispelled the summoning spell.
"Have Itachi keep an eye on Danzo Shimura."
After a moment's thought, Tsunade added.
"I see."
Kitazawa laughed and said, "Even if we don't say anything, the Uchiha clan will keep a close eye on Shimura Danzo."
"This is called 'you reap what you sow'."
Tsunade shook her head and said.
"What is Lady Tsunade's opinion of the Uchiha clan?"
Kitazawa asked with some curiosity, "I've heard that the Second Hokage had a famous saying: 'The Uchiha are born evil.'"
"Yes, it does exist, but he was referring to the Sharingan."
Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "The Uchiha are ultimately Konoha's Uchiha. As long as they don't cause trouble, I have no objections."
Kitazawa nodded upon hearing this.
As he guessed, Tsunade's attitude towards the Uchiha clan was closer to that of Hashirama Senju than to that of Danzo Shimura.
"Is there anything else?"
Tsunade lowered her hands and prepared to go back to her room to rest.
"Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa thought of the matter of modifying the forbidden medical technique of physical regeneration, and said, "I have some questions I would like to ask you."
Although he has now learned most of Tsunade's skills except for the Yin Seal, he is still far from having much experience.
"Come in and speak."
Tsunade pushed open the door and walked into the living room.
"Kitazawa, have some tea."
Rina Uzumaki poured Kitazawa a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you."
Kitazawa took the tea, took a sip, and then sat down opposite Tsunade to begin asking questions.
Why are you asking these questions?
After answering two questions, Tsunade sensed something was amiss.
"I want to create a medical ninjutsu that can regenerate severed limbs."
Kitazawa didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
"Limb regeneration?"
Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "That's impossible."
As the most outstanding medical ninja in the ninja world, she naturally tried to create medical ninjutsu that could regenerate severed limbs, but all of them ended in failure.
"I think it's worth a try."
Kitazawa didn't tell her about the forbidden medical technique, physical regeneration, as it was too shocking.
The forbidden medical technique, physical regeneration, comes from the theatrical version.
Since the theatrical version is not part of the main series, it features many overpowered ninjutsu techniques.
"Alright."
Seeing his insistence, Tsunade didn't say anything more.
After all, creating a medical ninjutsu that can regenerate severed limbs is a good thing.
Even if it doesn't succeed, you can still gain a lot of experience and knowledge.
After chatting for two hours, Kitazawa got up and went home.
Friday has arrived, and the first week after the first monthly exam is coming to an end.
Nothing major happened this week.
After the Root organization disbanded, Danzo Shimura returned to the Shimura clan, remaining quiet and uninvolved.
But Kitazawa knew he was definitely looking for the right opportunity.
After all, Tsunade stayed in Konoha Village, so there was nothing he could do.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
Tian Tian ran over with a big smile and said, "I've learned how to wield shuriken!"
"Congratulations."
Kitazawa wasn't surprised.
The technique of shuriken throwing is not difficult in itself, and given that Tian Tian is extremely skilled at throwing shuriken, it is normal that she was able to learn it so quickly.
"I'll teach you a new ninjutsu, the Shadow Clone Technique."
Kitazawa's ultimate goal was to teach her the technique of creating shadow clones with shuriken.
However, the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is an A-rank ninjutsu, and it won't be easy for her to learn it.
"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei!"
Suddenly, Tian Tian remembered something and took out a scroll.
Kitazawa opened the scroll and glanced at it, finding it contained one hundred explosive tags.
He immediately sensed something subtle.
The price of detonating tags is very expensive, ranging from three hundred to two thousand taels depending on their effects.
The explosive tags that Tian Tian gave were clearly the most effective type.
"Let me demonstrate the Shadow Clone Technique first."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and accepted the explosive tag.
After all, the ninjutsu he taught was quite valuable.
Especially the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, which cannot be bought with money.
After spending half an hour teaching Tenten the Shadow Clone Technique, Kitazawa arrived in front of Kurama Yakumo.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Kurama Yakumo immediately stopped his training and greeted him.
"Your Leaf Whirlwind is already very proficient, but just knowing one taijutsu technique isn't very useful; you need to master a complete set of taijutsu techniques."
Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "Today I will teach you the Leaf Village Fluid Technique."
After teaching for another half hour, he arrived at the school's artificial lake.
Time passed slowly.
As the sun sets, it's time to let students go home.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Uchiha Sasuke stopped Kitazawa, who was trying to leave the school.
"What's wrong, Sasuke?"
Kitazawa looked at him.
