After the battle with Madara, Hashirama was finally unable to control the natural activation of cells in his body, so he died quickly after some time.

After realizing the real cause of her grandfather's death, Tsunade couldn't contain it and developed a strong obsession.

She wanted to walk the path of Senju Hashirama in person, learn the Senjutsu of Shikkotsu Forest, and use her own strength to find a solution to the side effects of natural activation of cells.

If she can do this, Senju Hashirama will definitely be proud of his precious granddaughter.

"Compared with the air of Mount Myoboku and the soil of Ryuchi Cave, the concentration of natural energy in this hot spring is much higher, so it is easy to lose control during the training. But please be rest assured, my clone will be there to help you, and it will try to avoid all accidents from happening."

Then Katsuyu's three-meter-high body split into dozens of small slugs, and they were divided into two groups and came to the two of them.

Tsunade frowned and glanced at Kisame, as she pointed at the hot spring and said:

"We're sharing this hot spring in half, you're on the left, and I'm on the right. We won't interfere with each other, ok?"

"No problem."

Kisame nodded readily, and began to take off his clothes and shoes on the spot. Soon, only a pair of shorts were left on his body, and he swaggered towards the hot spring.

"Humph."

Tsunade looked at his back and snorted lightly, as she turned to the other side of the hot spring.

She stood on the shore, unbuttoned her clothes, and took off the green windbreaker with the word "gambling" printed on the back, revealing the white swimsuit she had put on at some point.

This swimsuit is a little more conservative, but with Tsunade's figure, it looks good.

She entered the hot spring cautiously, and her snow-white skin became smoother and slippery as it came in contact with the warm pool water. Against the backdrop of the dense mist, her figure was full of allure.

As long as it is a normal man, seeing this scene, it is inevitable that his blood will rise and he will not be able to resist.

Tsunade was also worried that Kisame would peek at her, but when she glanced towards him, she realized that he didn't even look at her at all,

Instead, he interacted with little slugs with a smile on his face.

Obviously, in his eyes, slugs are much more attractive than Tsunade wearing a swimsuit and soaking in hot springs.

'Weird fellow.'

She cursed inwardly, and stopped worrying about him, and started preparing to train senjutsu.

"Huh? Why can't I feel any change, it's like I'm soaking in an ordinary hot spring."

Soon, she asked the little slug beside her with a puzzled face.

"Tsunade-sama, that's because you haven't sensed the existence of natural energy. Before absorbing natural energy, you must first enter a state of absolute stillness, so let's start by calming down."

The little slug reminded patiently.

Under its guidance, Tsunade tried to stretch her limbs. Due to the high density of the spring water, she quickly floated on surface like a piece of driftwood.

Then, she closed her eyes and lay on the water, wrapped in the warm spring water, entering a deep state of tranquility.

On the other hand, Kisame entered the state of stillness earlier than Tsunade.

From this point of view of mind, although the Kisame is only in his teens, he is a calm person.

On the contrary, Tsunade, who is twenty years older than him, is very mature physically, but sometimes her mental state is not that calm. She is easily irritable, and she has been depressed for a long time in the middle of her life. She is addicted to alcohol and gambling, so her self-control and concentration are much weaker than Kisame.

To put it simply, it is difficult for Tsunade to get rid of all kinds of distracting thoughts in her heart and completely calm down, to enter a state where her mind is like still water.

Therefore, in Senjutsu training, although she did not want to lose to Kisame, she still fell behind as soon as she started.

After an hour.

Kisame floated quietly in the hot spring, motionless, as if he really turned into a piece of wood, rippling back and forth slightly with the flow of the spring water under him.

At this moment, he reached the state of stillness, and his spirit and body were integrated into this hot spring and became a part of nature.

In such a state of mind, he finally sensed the existence of natural energy.

Kisame subconsciously raised his hands and put them together, trying to absorb the surrounding natural energy.

For a moment, it was like a swarm of sharks that smelled blood, swarming towards him from all directions and pouring into his body.

The natural activation of cells began.

Kisame knows that from this second, he has no way back.

But he didn't have the slightest hesitation and fear in his heart, his heart was like iron, and he fearlessly accepted the rush of natural energy and allowed them to transform his body.

The little slugs around Kisame also crawled onto his body, attaching to his shoulders, chest muscles, abdomen, thighs, etc.

When training senjutsu, you need to stay focused throughout the whole process. Once you get distracted, there is a risk of being swallowed by natural energy.

The task of these little slugs is to sense the situation in Kisame's body at all times, and help him absorb the excess natural energy when he is in danger due to distraction.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes.

Another hour has passed, and there is no abnormality in Kisame's body, and the absorption of natural energy is going on smoothly.

Even the slug sage was surprised.

Kisame's aptitude is better than what Katsuyu thought, and even Senju Hashirama was not as good as him.

However, Kisame is still a human, and human beings have limits.

At a certain moment, after maintaining concentration for several hours, Kisame was finally disturbed by distractions and broke out of the state of absolute stillness.

The next second, a thrilling scene happened.

'Gurgle.'

The spring water under Kisame suddenly bubbling a lot, as if the water was boiling.

Kisame's hair grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly changed from short to shawl-long, and there was no sign of stopping.

What's even more frightening is that Kisame's right ear suddenly split, and a third ear grew; next to the thumb of his left hand, a sixth finger also grew.

The natural energy devouring him.

In Mount Myoboku, if a person training senjutsu fails, they gradually becomes a frog statue.

In Shikkotsu forest, the risk is that the cell division in the body is completely out of control, splitting a large number of limbs and organs in a short period of time, and finally turning them into a deformed flesh-and-blood monster.

Seeing that the situation is going to get worse.

The little slugs that were lying on his body quickly acted to remove the runaway natural energy in his body.

After a while, Kisame's appearance returned to normal, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Thank you, Katsuyu." He smiled and expressed his gratitude to the little slugs.

"Kisame-sama, your spirit is very tired, so let's stop here for the time being for today's practice, don't force yourself too hard."

The little slug kindly suggested.

"Well, it makes sense. Haste is not good."

Kisame nodded, he did not try to be brave, but happily accepted her suggestion.

So he swam ashore and got dressed.

At this time, Kisame finally had time to look to the other side of the hot spring, curious about Tsunade's progress.

Unexpectedly, after most of the day, she still couldn't enter the state of stillness.

"Damn, failed again."

Tsunade opened her eyes with annoyance. Just now, she could almost sense the existence of natural energy, but unfortunately, her heart was confused again at the last moment.

When she was upset, she found that Kisame had completed his training and was watching her from the shore.

Kisame smiled at Tsunade, shook his head, turned and walked into his luxurious wooden house.

"I was upstaged by this guy again."

Tsunade gritted her teeth and hit the water with a punch.

However, perhaps stimulated by Kisame, after venting her negative emotions, she quickly calmed down, closed her eyes again, and devoted herself to her training.

Finally, her hard work paid off.

After trying again and again, Tsunade has successfully sensed the existence of natural energy and can't wait to start absorbing it.

She was intent on catching up with Kisame's progress.

At dusk.

"Whaaaa!"

A scream came from outside the house, attracting Kisame's attention and that let him go out to see it.

It turned out that Tsunade's training had gone wrong.

After walking out of the wooden house, Kisame saw her crawling from the water to the shore, and resting on the shore with a frightened expression.

Obviously, Tsunade and Kisame were in the same situation, they were distracted during the training and were attacked by natural energy, resulting in the alienation of the body.

However, her condition seems to be worse, and even the little slug can't completely absorb the excess energy in a short time.

Therefore, when Tsunade noticed that Kisame was approaching, her face changed. She hurriedly put on a trench coat and covered it up so that he could not see her.

But Kisame's eyes are very sharp, he looked at Tsunade with surprise:

"Yo, it's very interesting, you have three breasts now? It's amazing."

When Tsunade heard this, she was immediately embarrassed and annoyed. She gave Kisame a vicious look, then hurried away without saying a word, and got into her wooden house.

"Tsunade-sama." A bunch of little slugs chased after her. It is conceivable that before Tsunade's body returns to normal, she will no longer be able to train senjutsu.

So during the next few days, Kisame further widened the gap with Tsunade and took a big lead in senjutsu training.

Under the immersion in the hot spring, the cells and tissues in his body, from the limbs to the torso to the internal organs, were naturally activated at an amazing speed.

Finally, half a month later, Kisame completed the first stage of senjutsu.

This afternoon, the cells in his entire body were naturally activated.

'Boom!'

An extremely powerful chakra shot up from the hot spring, forming a dazzling beam of light, that dispelled the clouds hundreds of meters high.

In the hot spring, Kisame slowly moved and stood above the water.

At this moment, the natural energy in the water is continuously entering the soles of his feet, and then spreads to all parts of the body, and combines with the chakra in his body to form a more powerful chakra.

"Is this the senjutsu chakra?"

Kisame murmured, feeling that all the limbs and bones were extremely warm, as if filled with endless powerful power.

He moved his fingers at will, and a strong windflow was generated, forming a strong wind that spread around, setting off a circle of ripples on the water surface.

On the shore, Tsunade looked horrified and looked a little ugly.

Half a month ago, she and Kisame began training senjutsu at the same time, but until now, she has barely completed the natural activation of the limbs, and her progress is less than one-third of Kisame's.

'Whoosh.'

Kisame jumped up and came to the shore, landing on the ground not far from Tsunade.

'Bang.'

He was like a cannonball falling from the sky. With a loud bang, he instantly smashed a large pit several meters deep into the ground, and dust rose into the sky.

"Cough cough..."

Tsunade was shrouded in the oncoming dust, coughed as she fanned the dust, and shouted at Kisame, "Do you have to make such a big commotion, bastard!"

"Sorry, I can't control my power now."

The ghost shark came out of the dust and said helplessly.

He didn't seem to be satisfied, so he clenched his fists in front of Tsunade, smiled at her, and punched her.
