Chapter 139.2 : Rank 2?

Seeing Uchiha Ran's interest, White Snake Sage quickly and earnestly explained, "The two golden rings are Noble Phantasms. I don't know the specifics, but after the death of Lord Tamamo, I acquired them by chance. Wearing them on any part of the body can make it shrink, but it requires a considerable amount of natural energy."

"I can maintain my current size entirely by relying on the ability of the ring. Otherwise, like Katsuyu, my body would be too large to move.

It's not that she couldn't move, but moving would be impractical.

The Three Great Sage Region boast the most abundant natural energy in the ninja world, and she has no reason to leave the Ryūchi Cave. Nevertheless, a massive body comes with its share of inconveniences.

"I understand," Uchiha Ran nodded lightly, finally grasping what White Snake Sage envied.

"How is it possible that your body is so large, and Tamamo didn't teach you how to temporarily shrink it?" Uchiha Ran asked curiously.

"Lord Ran, you may not know, but Lord Tamamo taught us the method of sensing and storing natural energy, yet she hasn't taught us how to use and refine it," came the response.

Uchiha Ran was surprised and took over the conversation, saying, "So, you continued to condense natural energy and chakra to create your own Senjutsu for chakra use?"

"Yes, Ran-sama. As we kept accumulating Senjutsu chakra, our strength increased, and our bodies grew along with the increase in Senjutsu chakra."

"So, you haven't been with Tamamo-mae for a long time?" Uchiha Ran mused, rubbing his chin.

"Actually, it's been a long time, almost a hundred years!" White Snake Sage glanced at Uchiha Ran and explained, "Initially, we didn't have a human mind. After being cultivated for a long time by Master Tamamo, we underwent a transformation, gaining the ability to learn from her."

"Originally, after accumulating a certain amount of natural energy, we could learn more methods from Tamamo-sama. However, at that time, we happened to encounter Kaguya, who had consumed the Chakra fruit and began cleansing the world, so..."

Uchiha Ran nodded.

Everything became clear.

Tamamo had pre-cultivated the White Snake Sage, Sage Katsuyu, and Gamatsuji.

Unfortunately, just when the formal teaching was about to begin, Kaguya appeared and started cleaning up the world.

The inheritance of absorbing and utilizing natural energy was likely discontinued at that time.

On the other hand, these three beasts, using and releasing half-baked natural energy, questioned Chakra and embarked on a path of self-discovery. They also occupied three locations with the most abundant natural energy, establishing Three Great Sage Region.

No wonder they were called ancestors, despite not appearing simple.

As for the inheritance of Gamatsuji, it was probably stolen by Gamamaru, or the latter had the opportunity to become a sage through other opportunities.

"White Snake Sage, work for me. In the future, you may have the chance to transform," Uchiha said.

The White Snake Sage Alliance took the lead.

At the same time, inside the Shikkotsu Forest,

"Tsunade, how about I take your surname in the future?" Katsuyu, who had fully adapted to his new body, asked Tsunade, tilting his head.

The wind blew, lifting their hair.

The gentle smile on Katsuyu's delicate face was like a spring breeze, touching the softest place in the heart.

"If you like it, of course, I won't refuse," Tsunade laughed.

After the transformation, Katsuyu was only stronger than his grandfather, wasn't she?

Listen to Katsuyu?

Alright.

"From now on, we'll be on our own," Katsuyu hugged Tsunade's arm.

They looked like twins.

In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya saw this scene through the live broadcast and, for some reason, wore an intoxicated expression like a Pig. "Double the happiness..."

At that moment, a cold voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Lord Jiraiya, please respect yourself."

Seeing Shizune approaching, Jiraiya slowly restrained his expression and smiled wryly.

What are you still fantasizing about?

Too frivolous.

Perhaps visiting a custom shop would be more appropriate, and it might inspire creative inspiration.

"It's really Hashirama's luck," he muttered.

On the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, Uchiha Madara softly pouted.

Sage Katsuyu was comparable to the Sage of Six Paths, and it must be even stronger after the transformation.

Senju Clan had someone at the Six Paths level to keep watch.

Fortunately, the Uchiha clan had Uchiha Ran.

Of course, he still had confidence in himself.

"It's not just about the difficulty of getting stronger..."

Uchiha Ran observed the live room intently.

After bantering with Katsuyu, Tsunade finally reached a decision.

"I will bring back my grandma, Uzumaki Mito."

"I'll also resurrect my younger brother, Nawaki!"

Her words echoed.

The golden scroll descended.

A new figure materialized.

Uzumaki Mito, now restored to her youthful vigor and peak strength.

The bewildered crowd stared at the Nawaki, hands outspread.

Resurrection!

A surge of vitality!

The bells continued to chime.

A silhouette emerged.

Upon closer inspection, everyone was in disbelief.

"How is this possible!?"

"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is second!?"
