"Then, is Gintoki-sensei also come to meet Katsuyu-sama?" asked Hashirama.
Kakashi nodded and said: "Yes, that is indeed my purpose."
"Ah? That's terrible. I also came to meet Katsuyu-sama, hoping to get her approval. If Gintoki-sensei is having the same purpose, wouldn't I be in hopeless situation?" said Hashirama, half squatting on the ground depressedly.
Kakashi facepalmed after seeing this, 'This guy is really easy to get depressed.'
"Hashirama, you think too much, I already have a summoned beast." Kakashi explained helplessly.
"Ah? Really?" Hearing this, Hashirama became excited again.
"Well, I'm looking for Katsuyu-sama for something else."
"That's great, by the way, Gintoki-sensei, what is your summoned beast?" Hashirama asked curiously.
"That is a secret." Kakashi said with a smile.
Kakashi didn't know if his Summoning Technique could still be used or not at this time. After all, he is in the past right now. 'Can summoned beasts travel through time when I summoned it?'
Kakashi didn't know, and didn't want to try. If something went wrong, there would be another problem.
"Is that so." Hashirama said disappointedly.
Immediately afterwards, Hashirama said: "Oh yeah, Gintoki-sensei, the last father thing, I want to apologize to you for what happened with my father last time. I didn't expect it to be like that."
Looking at Hashirama's guilty expression, Kakashi shook his head and said: "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart. Let's go find Katsuyu-sama together."
"Yes!" Hashirama replied happily.
In the dark and damp Shikkotsu Forest, the two felt a little uncomfortable along the way.
Kakashi originally wanted to find Tsunade to get the Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu training method, but after asking Tsunade, he learned that Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu training method is only known to the original Katsuyu, and the split Katsuyu Tsunade summoned didn't know about this.
The original Katsuyu has been asleep for decades without waking up.
It needs to explained here that there is only one Katsuyu in the Shikkotsu Forest, but Katsuyu has a powerful splitting ability, and the one summoned by Tsunade is only a part of original Katsuyu.
The original body of Katsuyu is still in a state of deep sleep.
Originally, Tsunade is also interested in Senjutsu, but because of this, she can't learn it. She can only develop a different technique from Senjutsu based on the past information and her own research on Medical Ninjutsu.
When Kakashi learned of this, he had no choice but to give up.
After traveling to the wrong time, especially after the failure of the fusioning the Senjutsu, Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu was once again included in Kakashi's target.
At this time, the original Katsuyu is not sleeping yet. After all, Hashirama still hasn't learned Senjutsu. If it really asleep, then how did Hashirama learned Senjutsu?
The two of them walked for a while, and Hashirama said: "Gintoki-sensei, why haven't we seen Katsuyu-sama after walking for a long time? This place is too big."
"Don't worry, let me take a lot." Kakashi also felt that walking like this is not an option anymore, not to mention there are so many forks here.
It's a waste of time to walk the path one by one.
Kakashi then released the Cursed of Ryūchi Cave's Senjutsu. In an instant, the purple eyeshadow once again appeared on Kakashi's face.
Hashirama was amazed, and he secretly thought: 'It has appeared again, and my father said this is a Senjutsu. But, I don't know if it is Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu or not.'
Kakashi opened his eyes abruptly, and instantly found Katsuyu.
'I found it!'
At this moment, Katsuyu who is sitting on a huge chair moved the two antennae on its head and whispered softly: "Is there a human coming in again? Is it that brat called Senju Butsuma again? No, there is a smell of stinky snakes and toads, and it's coming from the same person, it's weird."
Katsuyu was a little confused, but she was too lazy to move. She already felt that the two human are walking towards her.
"Hashirama, I found it, let's go." Kakashi released the Sage Mode and whispered.
"Yes! Gintoki-sensei."
Hashirama replied, and then he secretly thought in his heart: 'It seems that this strange Senjutsu has the ability to enhance perception. It's really amazing.'
Kakashi didn't know that Hashirama was thinking at this moment. The two walked together for about ten minutes and then they saw a huge cave.
"Is this where Katsuyu-sama is?" Hashirama asked curiously.
"It should be right here, let's go in," Kakashi said.
"Okay."
After entering the cave, their vision became clearer, but the temperature was still not high.
In the middle of the cave, Katsuyu with its huge body is sitting on a huge stone seat, which was about the same size as the one Gamamaru is sitting.
'This should be Katsuyu-sama real body?' Kakashi secretly thought.
"What a big slug." Hashirama was shocked.
Kakashi patted Hashirama's head lightly, and said, "Don't talk like that. It's Katsuyu-sama."
Hearing this, Hashirama quickly apologize, "Ah, I'm sorry."
At this time, Katsuyu moved and said: "Two young human, why did you come here?"
Hearing this, Hashirama answered: "Katsuyu-sama, I am the son of Senju Butsuma, my father told me to come here to accept your test, hoping to win the help from the Slug Race."
Katsuyu then pondered for a bit and then said, "Oh, it was that brat from back then. It seems that I have told him about this. You are very good. You can become the contractor of the Slug Race. Take it."
As Katsuyu finished speaking, it spit out a summoning contract from its mouth and it landed in front of Hashirama.
Hashirama was dumbfounded after seeing this, 'Is this all right? Isn't it too simple? Where is the test that father said?'
'This summoning contract will not be fake, right?'
"Katsuyu-sama? Is this all right?" asked Hashirama in disbelief.
"Yeah, you can use your blood to write your name on the scroll," says Katsuyu.
Seeing that Hashirama was still in a daze, Kakashi smiled and said: "Hurry up and sign the contract. Isn't that your purpose of coming here?"
"Oh, okay, right away."
Hashirama quickly bite his thumb, causing the blood to spill out instantly, he then use the blood to write his name on the summoning contract. Finally, he put the blood on all of his fingers and printed it on the scroll.
"It's done!" said Hashirama.
"You're done Hashirama? I hope you can spread the name of the Slug Race through the entire Shinobi World." Katsuyu said.
Hashirama nodded and said: "Thank you for your trust, Katsuyu-sama. I, Senju Hashirama, will definitely spread the name of the Slug Race through the entire Shinobi World!"
