Chapter 307: Chapter 307
In the Shikkotsu forest, Lain stared at the absolutely massive Katsuyu in front of her, and the slug did the same to her .
After a while, Katsuyu said with emotion: “I never expected to see it again after so many years, but here it is: The Wood Release Kekkei Genkai!”
Lain lowered her head and thought to herself: ‘Of course she wouldn’t see it, with the only Senju left being Tsunade Hime…’
Katsuyu guessed her thoughts, and deliberately said: “Wood Release is a not a Senju exclusive Kekkei Genkai . At least, it wasn’t before the appearance of Hashirama . ”
Lain raised her head, not understanding yet .
“It’s actually an ability of some of the Otsutsuki clan, and for some reason, it was reawakened in Hashirama, one of their descendents . Well, we can chat later . Let’s get to business . I’ll teach you how we Slugs use Natural energy!”
After that, Lain began to learn Sage Mode . The most obvious advantage of the Slug’s Sage Mode was it superiority in duration and amount of Senjutsu Chakra compared to the two other types . However, compared with that of Snakes or Toads, it required more Natural Energy absorbed into the user’s body, making it extremely dangerous .
In fact, at the speed at which Natural Energy could safely be absorbed by normal humans, it would take the user a month to go into Sage Mode . However, Wood Release protected the user, and also allowed him to absorb Natural Energy Faster . This allowed Hashirama to take a lot less time to go into Sage Mode .
This is precisely why Tsuande said that this Mode is perfectly suited for Wood Release users .
After teleporting to the other side of the Country to get closer to the Sound Country, Ryo took Tsunade, Shizune and Rin to Orochimaru’s base .
In fact, Ryo did not teleport them straight inside . After all, Orochimaru could be working on something secret, and their presence by his side would expose that .
Orochimaru received a notification from one of his subordinates, saying that Ryo was at the gate with several people .
“I thought that I would find Orochimaru in some desolate place . Well, I didn’t expect it to be so desolate! I doubt there’s an inn close by, let alone a Casino!” Tsunade complained .
“Well, this place is perfect for Orochi san’s experimentations . He would not be bothered in here . ”
“Come on, you don’t need to explain Orochimaru to me . I know him well! This country was weak, and they probably needed ‘his help’ . Right?”
Ryo scratched his head embarrassedly, for Tsunade was right on the money . She fought alongside Orochimaru for years, and she knew him all too well .
Later, Ryo gave the three by his side a brief introduction to Orochimaru’s base . As they were halfway through the ‘tour’, Orochimaru arrived: “Well, isn’t that Tsunade?! Long time no see!”
Hearing Orochimaru’s voice, Tsunade smiled, but her tone in no way gentle: “You stinky snake! You haven’t changed after so many years!”
“Haha! Same goes for you . It seems like the Yin Seal Technique is paying off!”

“Well, a few years were spent on perfecting that!” Tsunade was very happy to admit the source of her perpetual youth .
Orochimaru hadn’t seen Tsunade in so many years, ever since the 3rd World War . However, Tsuande was always on Orochimaru’s mind .
Same was true for Tsunade, who, despite all differences, considered Orochimaru a friend .
The conversation between the two continued, seeming very dull, but every sentence was packed with feelings . Just from their smiles, Ryo could understand a lot .
“Orochi san, there’s no need to chat outside, let’s go in!” He suggested .
Orochimaru smiled and welcomed everyone inside .
In the evening, inside the base, Orochimaru was unusually drinking with Tsunade . After all, he never did any experiments unless he’s sober .
As for Ryo, as much as he wanted to join the fun, he chose not to bother the two . After arranging accommodation for Rin and Shizune, he went into the base alone to find Yahiko .

Meanwhile in Konoha, at the Naka Shrine, two Uchiha teens were chatting…
“Shisui, some time ago, your Sensei asked me a question: If I would choose the clan or the village . I’ve been thinking for the longest time, and I cannot find an answer . Say, what would you choose?”
“I don’t know what I will be choosing in the end, Itachi . However, if the village tries to take the Uchiha down, I would never help them . Same if the Uchiha go for a massacre in Konoha . ”
“Oh? As usual, you never give up on any life . But now, things are getting more and more heated between the clan and the village, and if things go as they are, we will have to pick a choice . ” Said Itachi bitterly .
“If I didn’t meet Sensei, I guess I would choose to leave the choice to someone I trust when that day comes, and just leave this world . However, I would never do that now . No matter who goes unfair to the other side, I will change them, with these eyes!” Saying that, Shisui activated his Mangekyo .
Itachi could perceive the surge of power in his mentor’s eyes, and he could see the new pattern that formed in them . He was shocked speechless for a while, and then said: “Shisui, what do you want to do? Can your Mangekyo really change everything?”
“To tell the truth, I don’t know! However, with these eyes, at least I believe my words would have weight to them, and then there’s Sensei, and we will both be able to make great change . ”
“Ryo Yamanaka sama? He can shake everything indeed!” Itachi suddenly had some hopefulness in his tone .
“So, what we can do now is to improve our own strength and get strong enough to have the right to speak in a family and a village . When the time comes, we’ll do what’s necessary with Sensei . ”

Shisui’s words temporarily dispelled the confusion in Itachi’s heart, showing him a different future for the Uchiha .
“Speaking of that, I haven’t practiced in a long time, and to be honest, I could never gauge my improvement while in the Anbu . How about a little spar?”
“Well, I do want to test the perception abilities of my Mangekyo!” Both smiled at each other, and then began their battle in the woods .
