Chapter 296 Child of Nature, Tsunade's Shyness

"Hey, he's almost there."

The Slug Immortal let out a gasp of surprise.

Its enormous antennae swayed gently.

Tsunade then looked up and realized that it was indeed as the Slug Sage had said.

Kiyoshi's face had already developed what is known as the "immortal's face".

These patterns are exactly the same as those of her grandfather, Hashirama Senju!

The surrounding natural energy began to form a vortex at Qing Si's chest.

From a distance, it looked like a funnel on Kiyoshi's chest, constantly surging into Kiyoshi's body.

The place where Qing Si sat cross-legged was a stone floor, and from the cracks in the floor, a faint hint of emerald green began to emerge.

First, a tiny green sprout poked its head out, then two, three, four, and soon, these green sprouts appeared densely at Qing Si's feet.

"A futon?"

Tsunade said in surprise.

These suddenly growing plants are just like the meditation cushions that monks use when meditating.

Tsunade once visited the Fire Temple, which is the most famous temple in the Land of Fire.

The monks under their command also mastered a technique called "Talent of the Immortal Clan," and some monks even became the personal guards of the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"These plants must have been influenced by Kiyoshi's strong vitality, just like the medical ninjutsu you used, Tsunade."

"That's what the slug fairy explained."

"Medical ninjutsu..."

Tsunade observed it carefully and found that it was indeed similar to medical ninjutsu.

To learn medical ninjutsu, the most basic lesson is to use the life force within the "Yang" Release chakra to give withered flowers a final burst of life and bloom once more.

Kiyoshi is like this now.

"Wood Release..."

Tsunade suddenly remembered a joke that Kiyoshi had once made to her.

Kiyoshi said he was able to develop the bloodline limit of "Wood" Release.

At the time, Tsunade didn't take it seriously and even said that since Kiyoshi could develop it, she would call Kiyoshi "teacher".

Seeing Kiyoshi's current performance, Tsunade suddenly felt uncertain.

Could this kid actually develop it?

While Tsunade and the Slug Sage waited, Kiyoshi continued to maintain the balance of the three energies within his body.

Because his chakra is simply too enormous!

This very advantage has ironically become an obstacle.

A large amount of chakra means that more natural energy is needed.

The more natural energy one possesses, the higher the requirements for chakra control become; otherwise, there is an immediate tendency for one to turn into bones.

"Three-way allocation..."

Kiyoshi's mind was completely absorbed in his body.

The last time I focused so intently on my internal body was when I received the infusion from the White Snake Sage in Ryuchi Cave.

"You have learned a new term: [Term: Slug Transformation into an Immortal (Purple)]".

A new term appeared before Qing Si.

[Entry: Slug Transforms into an Immortal (Purple)]

[Requirement achieved: Receive instruction from the Slug Sage and experience the energy of nature.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: Your physical body has experienced the "slug's" understanding of natural energy, and your affinity for "natural energy" has increased by 100% from the original level.]

Your cultivation speed for the Shikkulin lineage's immortal arts has increased by 100% from its original level.

The power of your Shikko Forest lineage magic has increased by 100%.

When an "insect" is weaker than you, it will involuntarily bow down to you and serve you as its master.

[Advanced Path 1: Gather the "Immortal Techniques" from the three holy lands to obtain an advanced golden attribute.]

"It's similar to the entry for [White Snake Transformation into an Immortal (Purple)] that I got in Ryuchi Cave."

Kiyoshi barely managed to spare a bit of his attention to close the entry panel.

He could only glance at the text on it quickly.

However, this is much better than the last time I received the initiation from the White Snake Sage at Ryuchi Cave.

At that time, Kiyoshi could not afford to be distracted even for a moment.

Otherwise, the White Snake would immediately undergo its transformation, which would be extremely dangerous.

Of course, given his physical strength at the time, even if he failed, there wouldn't be too much backlash.

What we need to worry about is the attack by the White Snake Sage.

"I felt it, this power..."

Kiyoshi closed his eyes, sensing the new "Sage Chakra" within his body.

Chakra refined using "Sage Techniques" from Ryuchi Cave is green.

He can now sense that the "Sage Chakra" within his body is different in color from that extracted from Ryuchi Cave.

Furthermore, the effects of these two versions are different.

His perception has weakened.

Or rather, its perception ability is not as strong as that of the "Sage Mode" in Ryuchi Cave.

Of course, this is all relative.

Compared to his usual self, and even to other ninjas, Kiyoshi's improvement was enormous.

Even without using his eyes, he can sense changes in the outside world by spreading his chakra.

The movement of air, and the moisture within it.

The viscous liquid that slugs drip when they move.

Kiyoshi could also sense Tsunade's heroic face and the faint blue veins on the thick layer of fat on her face.

He surveyed Tsunade's grandeur as if using radar to scan her entire body.

A deeper understanding has been gained.

As expected of the woman known as the greatest ninja in the world, she is indeed quite voluptuous.

After briefly getting used to his sensory abilities, Kiyoshi began to experience other abilities.

While perception has been weakened, other aspects have been greatly enhanced.

That is vitality!

Kiyoshi had a feeling that he could split right now.

puff.

The figure of Kiyoshi, who was sitting cross-legged on the spot, suddenly began to dissolve, flowing on the ground like a puddle of water.

Tsunade was startled by this sudden turn of events.

How did Kiyoshi turn into a puddle of water?

"He learned our ability to divide."

The Slug Immortal recognized the spell Qing Si was using.

Her greatest expertise lies in splitting and healing.

The inherited "immortal arts" also have these characteristics.

However, Kiyoshi's split is somewhat different from her own split.

Kiyoshi's actions were more like directly splitting flesh and blood, resulting in a scene of turning into blood.

"The Ghost Lantern Clan?"

Tsunade remembered a famous ninja clan in Kirigakure.

"Indeed, Kiyoshi's 'Water Transformation Technique' is very similar to that of the Hozuki clan."

The Slug Immortal nodded.

Kiyoshi transformed into blood; perhaps it could be called the "Blood Transformation Technique"?

At that moment, the blood coagulated again into the figure of Kiyoshi.

He opened his eyes, his pupils still black, but now tinged with a faint golden hue.

There was an unusual red eyeshadow around the eyes.

His perspective has become completely different from before.

He can touch the life of the earth.

He can sense the dust-like organisms floating in the air.

He can see the vibrant life of all things!

"This is... vitality."

Kiyoshi muttered to himself.

His Ryuchi Cave "Sage Mode" is similar to Mitsuki rather than Yakushi Kabuto.

The "Sage Mode" of Shikkotsu Forest, who has now successfully completed his training, is somewhat different from that of Hashirama Senju.

Kiyoshi could feel the life force within his body surging towards his abdomen.

Something seemed to be forming there.

He reached out and touched the green sprout emerging from the crack in the floor.

Under Qing Si's caresses, those green shoots eagerly began to grow and become stronger.

In the blink of an eye, Kiyoshi's figure was completely obscured.

From a distance, a small, lush green area can be seen on the smooth stone hall.

"Wood Release?"

Qing Si understood.

This is the "Wood" Release seed growing within him.

He is now able to irrigate these plants with his life energy to help them grow.

When Kiyoshi is able to control it, the development of the "Wood" Release bloodline limit will be complete.

This won't take too long.

"call……"

Kiyoshi exhaled a breath of stale air.

The aura struck the ground, and a few green shoots sprouted.

As long as it exists wherever there are seeds and life, Kiyoshi is like a mobile source of life.

He can perform "enlightenment" at will.

"Kiyoshi, how are you feeling?"

Tsunade asked.
