Hokage: I use spiritual power to release ninjutsu!

The capital of the Fire Nation and the former residence of the Minister of Finance.

After several hours of traveling, Tsunade and her party finally returned to the capital before dark.

Nowadays, she spends most of her time in the capital handling administrative matters; Konoha is in charge of Nara Shikaku.

"Tsunade-sama, you are back..."

Shizune greeted softly, walked up behind Tsunade, and took the daimyo clothes she had changed out of.

"Shizune, how are you practicing the secret art of your Kato clan - the art of spiritual transformation?"

Tsunade knew that her little follower had always wanted to reproduce the powerful power of the Kato clan's spiritual transformation technique;

It's just that this very strange ninjutsu is very difficult to practice; even after more than ten years of practice, Shizune has never been able to successfully master the art of spiritual transformation.

Since the records of Konoha were recorded, only Kato Dan has been able to successfully cultivate it among the Kato clan;

To a certain extent, the art of spiritual transformation is more difficult to practice than the Flying Thunder God.

"Tsunade-sama, I still haven't gotten started..."

Shizune stuck out her tongue and said with some embarrassment:

"I haven't even figured out the training methods recorded on the ninjutsu scrolls yet."

When she thought of the various mysterious and confusing cultivation methods recorded on the scroll, she felt dizzy.

Even though she had the notes left by her uncle for reference, she was still confused and confused.

"The scroll says that practitioners of the art of spiritual transformation will naturally understand its principles if they can understand it; if they cannot understand it, they do not have the talent to practice this ninjutsu."

A little distress and unwillingness flashed across Shizune's face. She originally thought it was just a ninjutsu;

No matter how magical and difficult it is to practice, she only needs time to polish it; one day, she will be able to master the art of spiritual transformation like her uncle.

But the cruel reality forced her to accept that she was not qualified to practice the art of spiritual transformation...

"Well..." Tsunade pondered for a moment and frowned slightly:

"So after so many years of research, how much do you know about the soul?"

After all, the art of spiritual transformation is a ninjutsu in which the soul separates from the body and is used to attack; naturally it will have some involvement in the soul.

"Tsunade-sama, although I haven't learned the art of spiritual transformation, I have gained a little bit at least. I can sense the existence of souls."

Shizune carefully hung the daimyo clothes on the hangers, and then walked to Tsunade:

"Tsunade-sama, has something happened? Your face doesn't look very good..."

"How can I help you?"

Tsunade turned around and faced Shizune, her expression solemn and solemn:

"Shizune, can you detect the strangeness in the human soul?"

"This..." Shizune hesitated, but immediately replied:

"Tsunade-sama, I have explored the souls of several friends out of curiosity; the final results are no different from my own soul."

"So, I don't know if I can detect the strangeness in other people's souls..."

"Then among the friends you have investigated, have any of them signed a contract with a psychic beast?"

Tsunade's eyes were focused, with a solemn look on her face;

He stared straight at his little follower, and the majestic aura brought by the huge shadow-level pressure and power on his body burst out unconsciously.

Judging from Jiraiya's abnormal behavior at the Five Shadows Conference, she had to put her suspicion on the Great Toad Sage.

She even further doubted whether the Shigu Forest, which is also one of the three holy places, would let her affect her will unknowingly!

As long as they are normal human beings, their will will never and should not be influenced by an animal!

But today, Jiraiya's attitude was like a fanatical believer, worshiping a toad as a true god, which made Tsunade feel a deep chill!

She had never doubted the Three Holy Lands before;

But now, because of Jiraiya's performance and the increase in her own power, she had to or instinctively began to doubt the intentions and purposes of the three holy places.

Tsunade quickly recalled in her mind a series of events between the Sannin and the Three Holy Lands over the years;

Immediately, they discovered that except for summoning the psychic beast every time they fought, the three of them had never interacted with it again.

Not to mention, pay for it!

The psychic beasts in the three holy places are like good old people, risking their lives to work for them in vain.

Although there are some relationships that cannot be measured solely by interests; but with Tsunade's current status, she cannot allow any unknown existence or existence that can threaten her own safety.

She began to think and wonder why the Three Holy Lands worked so hard to help the Sannin without any reward.

Even that old toad who claims to have the ability to predict the future, why is he so concerned about the situation in the ninja world and keeps intervening!

It is really puzzling and unbelievable that as an alien, he thinks so much about another ethnic group!

"Tsunade-sama, none of them owns a psychic beast, so they probably haven't signed a psychic contract..."

Shizune recalled it quickly and replied with a firm tone.

"Okay, Shizune, please help me explore my soul; see if there is any difference from the results of your previous exploration."

Tsunade ordered with a serious look on her face.

"Tsunade-sama! Do you suspect that the psychic technique has flaws or hidden dangers?!"

Shizune was suddenly a little surprised. Although she didn't have a psychic beast, there were many ninjas in Konoha who had psychic beasts;

If the psychic technique is really dangerous, it will definitely be a huge unsafe factor for the village!

"Don't think too much, it's just a guess now, let's do some research first!"

Tsunade shouted, waking up the little follower who was in shock and panic.

"Yes! Tsunade-sama, I will check it for you immediately!"

Shizune looked solemn and immediately walked behind Tsunade; placing her hands that were already glowing with blue chakra light, she gently placed them on both sides of her forehead.

Then he closed his eyes tightly and began to carefully explore her soul.

"Huh? This is?"

After more than ten seconds, Shizune seemed to have discovered something, and her eyes suddenly opened:

"Tsunade-sama, there is indeed something in your soul that neither mine nor my friends' souls have."

"Oh? What is it?"

Tsunade's brows flashed with anger, and she asked in a voice without emotion or fluctuation.

"Rune! It's a bloody mark similar to the sealing rune!"

Shizune frowned and seemed to think of something:

"Tsunade-sama, maybe this is the mark that represents the psychic contract; every ninja who has signed a psychic contract should have it..."

"Whether it is specific or not, it is easy to verify!"

Tsunade stood up suddenly and walked toward the door resolutely:

"Let's go! Go to the front hall and call Kakashi over!"

She knew that Kakashi had a canine psychic beast, and she could know the final result just by letting Shizune investigate.
