Chereads / Naruto: I became the Third Hokage / Chapter 15 - Sage Mode Training

Chapter 15 - Sage Mode Training

"Katsuyu, will I be able to learn Senjutsu?"

The massive slug looked at Akame. She was so massive, that she could probably reach the size of revived Ten-tails.

Well, It was hard to tell though. Afterall, Akame hasn't seen the Ten-tails...

Wait, maybe Katsuyu herself has?

Katsuyu separated several slugs, and they started covering her entire body, filled with mucus.

Akame still felt disgusted, but it was atleast better than eating insects. She just needed to take a bath afterwards.

The slugs retreated back into Katsuyu, and she shook her antenna eyes.

"Your body is strong enough. But you don't have the necessary chakra. You should try again in 3-4 years. Unlike the toads, I have only trained Hashirama in Sage Mode... and well, he mastered it very quickly."

"Alright."

Akame could only sigh in defeat. Unlike the toads, who want to find child of prophecy and constantly find summoners, and snakes who want summoners so that they can get food(humans) in the battlefields, Katsuyu is very peaceful, calm, and would rather lie in mud and eat it.

It was only after Hashirama found the unusually mangrove forests while searching for Madara that he found Katsuyu, and learnt about Sage Mode, which will help him in sensing Madara.

Though Katsuyu has lived from even before the Toad and Snake sage, she didn't interfere with the world.

Though, Akame was a bit curious if Katsuyu wanted anything to do with Six tails. Is Six tails male or female?

Wait...do slugs even have male and female?

Well, Six tails is currently dead, and it will take years for it to form. It was sold to Kiri. So she wouldn't allow it to capture it back.

Perhaps she can bring Six tails to Katsuyu in the future? She definitely wasn't interested in slug romance though.

Anyway...

"Katsuyu, have you met the Sage of Six Paths?"

She nodded.

"His brother picked up a part of me when he was a child, and Sage of Six Paths scolded him and threw me away from his hands, saying that I was disgusting.

Since then, I started avoiding the dirt near that Chakra converter Tree."

So Katsuyu calls 'Divine Tree' that huh. Feeling that Katsuyu felt depressed thinking about those memories, Akame comforted her.

"Katsuyu, you are very beautiful and intelligent."

Katsuyu looked like she blushed, and nodded.

"You are much better than Hashirama. He always complained when he was covered in my mucus during training. He also said it was disgusting."

"Well, I did hear that First Hokage was a bit foolish."

'Sorry for disrespecting you, Lord First.'

Akame apologized to Hashirama in her heart.

Katsuyu, feeling happy about Akame, said softly.

"Still, your body is already strong enough to handle it. In some years, as your chakra naturally grows, you should be able to learn it. It will still depend on your talent though.

Hashirama was a natural sensor. With Sage Mode, he could sense the entire world.

You on the other hand aren't a very good sensor. So I think you should start by learning how to sense Natural energy first. And don't attempt to absorb it.

To prevent any accidents, let me gobble you up, so that I will be able to absorb any dangerous natural energy if it enters your body."

Akame nodded.

"You should remove your clothes. Any more of my mucus will dissolve them."

"Alright."

Akame was already uncomfortable in the clothes that has become, rather sticky.

She will just have Katsuyu directly summon her in her new home near the Hokage Office, and use transformation jutsu to make sure that she appears clothed.

She removed her clothes, and Katsuyu separated a slug of the same size as her, and opened her mouth.

After hesitating for a moment, she entered inside.

And she also got an idea. Can she create self-healing bodysuits with this? If anything, it will help in getting into Sage Mode.

Well, she will have to ask Katsuyu for permission. Afterall, every Katsuyu here is a part of Katsuyu.

But that's for later.

As she went inside Katsuyu's mouth, her whole body was covered in sticky mucus, and Katsuyu's mouth was open above her so she could breathe.

"Now, try to sense the outside world."

"How?"

"...Just try it."

Katsuyu honestly didn't know how to teach humans sensing.

So, two hours was spent on try to sense the outside world, with no significant progress. Spreading out chakra like Second Hokage was blocked by Katsuyu's stomach, and meditating and trying to sense Nature Energy was also not happening.

And while Akame was focused on her training, Senju Iwashi was also reverse summoned by Katsuyu.

The information that Senju and Uchiha clans' ancestors were brothers was very new to him, and even the older members of the Senju clan.

After shuffling through the entire library of the Senju clan, he only found a variety of jutsu scrolls, and the only information on history was that the Senju clan is the successor of the Sage of Six Paths, and the clan's ancestor was killed by the ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

This has been the reason that the two clans have been at war with each other since their foundation.

As for the Senju clan being the heir of Sage of Six Paths? He understood that it was just pure bullshit. Almost every clan in the world claimed to be the heirs and descendants of Sage of Six Paths. Even those Hyuga and Kaguya bastards. One which enslaves their own family, and one that are retards who attacked both Hashirama and Madara when they were in the middle of their battle, so they were driven out of the Land of Fire.

The history wasn't very well documented. So he remembered that his summoning beast, Katsuyu, is a Sage. She must know something.

So when he summoned her, she only told him that she had met Sage of Six Paths and his brother when they were kids, and told him that some fanatics of Sage of Six Paths had come to seal her in the past, since she was almost the same size of the monster that Sage of Six Paths sealed.

She had melted them with acid and buried underground for nutrition. But their possessions were still with her. She didn't exactly know how to read, so she told him that he can take a look.

But, as soon as he came, he saw a naked Third Hokage, covered in sticky mucus, coming out of a Katsuyu.

He turned silent, and was ready to run, but her eyes turned towards him, her Sharingan staring at him.

'Well, atleast I will die after witnessing heaven.'

Thinking that, he calmly accepted his demise.
