Chapter 18

The source that Hashirama refers to is the amount of chakras. The so-called Sage chakras are formed when natural forces and chakras in the body are maintained in a certain ratio. Once this stable ratio is lost the Sage chakras will disappear. What is even more frightening is if that natural forces surpassed the chakras, the users will swallowed by natural force.

Masaki can get the perfect Senjutsu Chakra by relying on the inexplicable spiritual power, even without special training he can get the perfect Senjutsu Chakra. Previously he had no way to control the natural power. As a result the Senjutsu Chakra that condensed naturally is still pouring in, causing a situation that will make him to be seriously ill. But after learning to control the natural forces he was unable to condense more Senjutsu chakras. But due to the lack of chakras he could not use higher powers.

The body of Kazemori's clan is not strong and there are not many chakras. Although Masaki is only 18 years old now there will be more and more chakras as he grows older. But at least it will take 30 years or so to meet his needs Masaki can't wait for such a long time.

Masaki quickly asked Hashirama what methode to quickly increase the chakra. At first Hashirama confuse about Masaki's urgency for power, the other disciples in the room were also shocked, for the rest of the disciples Masaki is not outstanding except for the Sage skills.

　　 After this period of guidance Hashirama was very satisfied with Masaki's serious attitude in study because the other party has the aptitude of the Sage mode and he also has a kind of inherited feelings for Masaki. Therefore he pondered for a while and decided to solve this problem for Masaki. He was not really incapable of doing it.

"Well since you asked so I will give you an idea." Hashirama smiled at Masaki and said: "If you want to increase Chakra, you can only rely on your own growth. For these objects each clan has some corresponding inheritance and your clan should be no exception."

Masaki nodded. They did have some secret medicines to assist the Shinobi's cultivation but Masaki had eaten these since he was a child and it has no effect on him. The cultivation secret medicines of other clans should be the same, unless they are some more domineering and fierce medicine but the damage to the body should not be small such as the three-color secret medicine of Akamichi.

　　 Could the secret medicine of the Senju clan be special? Masaki looked at Hashirama expectantly but he said: "However for a Shinobi of your age, the effect of the secret medicine is not very good even for our Senju clan. But... …"

　　 The corners of his mouth slightly curled up and said "The secret medicine of the Shinobi has only limited effect, but there are also things in this world that are beyond the imagination of the Shinobi."

　　 "What is it?" Masaki was still a little disappointed, but when he heard the second half of the sentence he felt a little excited and asked hurriedly.

　　 "Wait." Hashirama said in a hurry he put his finger in his mouth and bite it. Then he quickly formed the seal and patted it on the ground. In an instant a large number of tadpole-like runes were rapidly extended forming a shape similar to a circle and then with a bang a creature with white and blue body in appeared in the eyes of the two of them.

　　 "This is..." Masaki recognized the true identity of the other party. Isn't this the summoned beast Slug of Tsunade-hime?

Slugs are the creatures living in Shikkotsu Forest. Unlike the other two places of unexplored sage regions, there is only one creature in the Shikkotsu Forest it's the Elder Slug Sage. The summoned beasts are actually just a part of the Slug Sage clone.

　　 It was not surprising that Tsunade Hime also owned Slugs and that Hashirama themselves would also have Sage skills and had some relationship with the Shikkotsu Forest. The question is what does the Slug have to do with the things he said?

Masaki immediately thought of the toad oil in Mount Myōboku that thing should only make it easier to absorb natural forces. Without the effect of increasing the chakra it self. For the other two places Masaki are not very familiar. The only thing he knows is the Sage body originated from Ryūchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest was a complete mystery.

　　 In the original work of another world that Masaki has read at least the white Snake Sage in Ryūchi Cave has appeared and the Slug Sage has not appeared in any chapter. Having said that since the Slug is a clone of the Slug Sage there seems to be nothing to look forward to the appearance of the Slug Sage.

Hashirama didn't know what Masaki was thinking. When he saw the Slugs appearing he greeted her and the Slugs looked at Hashirama and said "It's been a long time Lord Hashirama I didn't expect summon me."

　　 Slug's voice is very nice but there is a feeling of purification of the soul when listening he laughed Hashirama and said: "I also need to ask you."

"Master do you need any help?" The Slug is very curious. Basically with the ability Hashirama he does not need the help of the summoned beast. If you need help to heal, Hashirama can do it by himself and the wooden golem can fight against the full form of Susanoo. Since the signing of the contract, Hashirama have basically never asked the Slugs for anything. The only time is to ask the Slug Sage about the surgical things.

　　 "Actually I hope to borrow the thing from the Shikkotsu Forest." Hashirama looked at Masaki and said "This kid needs it."

　　 Slug turned around and took a look at Masaki lowered his head slightly and said "Hello."

"Hello." Masaki responded sighing that the Slug's temper is really good, like the ones in Mount Myōboku are either grumpy or self-deprecating and not to mention the ones in Ryūchi Cave are basically a group of cruel and tyrannical people but the one in Shikkotsu Forest is simply calm.

　　 "Since it was the request of Hashirama-sama there is naturally no reason not to follow it." said the Slug then "then you ask to let the child sign a contract and then you will take the child to the Shikkotsu Forest?"

"Yeah. " Hashirama nodded and then a cloud of smoke suddenly exploded in front of the Slug and a huge scroll appeared. Hashirama quickly opened it with many names written on the scroll. And the name of the last person is Hashirama.

　　 "Come on Masaki write your name in your blood and leave the five fingerprints so that I can take you to the Shikkotsu Forest." said Hashirama.

　　 Masaki was a little surprised that he was going to sign a contract with a summoned beast so soon and he was still in the Shikkotsu Forest in the unexplored sage regions and his mood was really subtle. But he did not hesitate bit his finger and wrote his name on the scroll with blood and then left his five-fingerprint.

　　 "Okay." Seeing this Hashirama nodded in satisfaction and the Slug immediately put away the scroll saying that he was waiting for two in the Shikkotsu Forest and the two waited for a while.

　　 After the Slug disappeared Masaki asked "Hashirama-sama why are we going to the Shikkotsu Forest?"

"Because there are only things you need in the Shikkotsu Forest. Although you can also bring them out of the Shikkotsu Forest the effect will be greatly reduced." Hashirama said "As long as you know this is used as a raw material of the secret medicine of the Senju Clan. You should know what effect this thing has."

Masaki was shocked when he heard this. The secret medicine of the Senju clan must have an excellent effect. In addition to the natural physique of the Senju clan the secret medicine also plays a great role in it, so there is something to look forward to. Now what exactly is the thing said Hashirama.

　　 After a while Masaki suddenly felt his body lighten and then a sense of weightlessness spread as if he was falling down and everything around him was replaced by darkness. Before Masaki could react the feeling of touching the ground came from the bottom of his feet and he quickly raised his head and looked around.
