Traveling through the Naruto world to become the God King

Although Chiba is able to use the Shadow Clone Technique, sometimes this advantage alone can determine the outcome.

However, if one only partially achieves immortalization, one will no longer fall into that situation.

Chiba noticed that his hands were more capable of sensing natural energy than any other part of his body.

This is probably because his hands were fused with Hashirama's cells, thus blessing him with the physique of a sage.

Therefore, Chiba tried to enter Sage Mode using only his hands, and immediately succeeded in entering this state.

However, the amount of chakra he possessed in Sage Mode at this time was only half of that in Full Sage Mode, but its power was not weakened.

The body of an immortal is more stable and stronger than that of an ordinary person, and can fully withstand and quickly absorb natural energy.

This is also the reason why Hashirama doesn't need to spend too much time when using Sage Mode!

Therefore, Chiba firmly believes that once he possesses a perfect sage body, he will be able to instantly enter the sage mode like the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and display the power to move mountains and fill the seas.

After completing the training, Qianye found the Slug Sage and said goodbye to it. The Slug Sage was very surprised at Qianye's progress. He learned the Sage Mode in just half a year without any help from the slugs, and it was zero risk.

You know, the most talented person that Slug Sage had ever seen was Senju Hashirama, who successfully mastered the Sage Mode in the previous generation, and even he took a whole year. But Chiba only took half a year, which undoubtedly broke the record of learning the Sage Mode in Wet Bone Forest.

"Slug Immortal, I want to leave a part of my shadow clone here to continue practicing."

Qianye is about to leave the Wet Bone Forest, but he hopes to leave some shadow clones here to continue training.

"No problem, you can leave with peace of mind, you have surpassed the previous generation of Senju Hashirama!"

"Thank you!"

As Qianye spoke, he formed a seal with his hands, and smoke immediately rose around him, creating a total of five shadow clones.

This is the limit that Qianye can currently achieve, and these shadow clones cannot absorb natural energy at the same time, otherwise they will not be able to bear it and will be released.

"Well, goodbye, Slug Immortal!"

After saying that, Qianye bit his finger and pressed lightly on the ground. As a tadpole-shaped talisman extended out, Qianye's figure turned into smoke and disappeared on the spot.

"It looks like another powerful figure is going to appear in the ninja world. I remember... the guy who succeeded last time became the guardian of the ninja world and put an end to the war. And this Chiba is even more powerful than Hashirama!"

The Slug Immortal looked in the direction where Qianye left and whispered to himself.

Chiba returned to the Land of Grass. Because he was practicing the Sage Mode, Tsunade and Shizune stayed by his side and he did not wander around.

Since Chiba appeared, Tsunade's gambling behavior has obviously decreased a lot.

Just as Chiba returned to his residence, before he got close, he heard Tsunade's drunken voice at the distant gate.

"Really, Lady Tsunade, you can't drink any more!"

Shizune beside her pulled Tsunade's sleeve and persuaded her softly.

"What does it matter? Wine is a good thing. It can make me forget all my worries!"

Tsunade replied drunkenly.

Then, her gaze fell on Qianye and she rubbed her eyes.

"It seems that I am really drunk. Why did that brat Qianye come here——!"

Seeing Tsunade drunk, Chiba felt very uncomfortable. Tsunade had done a lot for him, but Chiba was helpless as to how to help her get out of the shadow of the death of her loved ones.

Tsunade was devastated by years of pain and has been exiling herself, wandering around.

"Ah! Lady Tsunade, this is not an illusion - Junior Brother Chiba is really back!"

Shizune cried out excitedly.

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then hugged Qianye, pressed Qianye's head against her chest, and said drunkenly:

"It seems like you have learned Sage Mode, what a terrifying talent - come, have a drink with me, I'll celebrate for you!"

“Ouch! Wait, wait—”

Chiba didn't expect Tsunade to suddenly hug him. He took a lot of effort to break free from Tsunade's deep cleavage, gasping for breath.

I almost suffocated to death. Tsunade's thing is really big.

"You're blushing again, kid. You'll become the second Jiraiya if you keep going like this!"

A drunken Tsunade laughed.

"How does Sage Mode feel?"

"Yeah, very powerful!"

Chiba's cheeks turned slightly red. Tsunade, who was already drunk, was now even more disheveled, with her shoulders almost exposed, which made Chiba a little embarrassed.

"Chiba's talent is really enviable. In just one year, he not only learned medical ninjutsu, but even mastered the Sage Mode!"

Shizune looked at Chiba with envy.

She had been learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade since she was a child, but she didn't expect to be surpassed by Chiba in just half a year.

"This kid's talent is probably on par with my grandfather's. I'm afraid I can't beat him!"

Tsunade said with a smile, she had witnessed Chiba's efforts with her own eyes, not only did he have amazing talent, but he also worked harder than others.

Surpassing her grandfather and Uchiha Madara no longer seemed surprising.

As she spoke, Tsunade took out a secret report from her pocket and handed it to Chiba.

"This was sent from Konoha's Anbu. It should be for you!"

"Don't worry, I've always been like this, there's nothing to worry about—"

Tsunade pinched Chiba's face and said playfully.

"Well, since you are my apprentice, don't be so fussy. I originally thought you were very manly, but you will lose points for saying this!"

After hearing this, Qianye couldn't help but curl his lips.

I have nothing to teach you now, you have already mastered the God Mode. I have some ninjutsu secrets left by my grandfather and second grandfather. "Tsunade said as she unbuttoned the fierce part of her clothes, and Chiba watched Tsunade's movements without blinking.

Then, he saw Tsunade actually took out a scroll from that part, which made Chiba stunned for a long time, thinking in his heart: Your place is already big enough, can it still hide a scroll?

"You have all the chakra attributes, so you should be able to learn these ninjutsu. Most of them are water ninjutsu, and there are also some wood ninjutsu. I wonder if you can master them."

Tsunade explained to him. However, when she mentioned Wood Release, Chiba was instantly shocked and asked excitedly:

"There's actually Wood Release?"

"Yes, that was left to me by my grandfather. Since I have both water and earth attributes, I can theoretically learn Wood Release, but I haven't learned it yet. If you can master it, then take it and study it yourself!"

Tsunade handed the scroll to Chiba, who took it and immediately felt its heavy weight.

"I think that with your talent, it would be impossible for you to tarnish the prestige of these ninjutsu."

Chiba stared blankly at the scroll in his hand. Although it was small, it seemed unusually heavy in his eyes. Tsunade's words made him feel sad.

"Well, I will make it famous again in the ninja world!"

"Haha, what great ambition! If you mess up these ninjutsu, I'll teach you a lesson with my fists!"

The Wood Release of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, who was a master in creating countless Ninjutsu, their Ninjutsu are extremely valuable to any ninja, or to the entire ninja world.

"Don't underestimate me, your fist may not be as hard as mine!"

"You little brat, is it appropriate for you to talk to your master like this? Come, have the last cup. Drink it with me and I'll take it as my reward!"

Tsunade's face was full of joy, as if she hadn't been so happy for a long time. She hugged Chiba and held him tightly in her arms.

Chiba looked at Tsunade helplessly, and seeing her sad look, he accompanied her to drink.

"Otherwise, how about Master Tsunade and Sister Shizune come back to Konoha with me?"

Tsunade shook her head and responded with a hint of sadness.

"That place, I don't want to go back yet—"

She seemed to be trapped in the sadness of the past, a trace of melancholy flashed across her face, but she quickly forced a smile.

"As expected, I still can't let you go, Master Tsunade. I once said that I want to make you happy! So I will let you walk out of the shadows one day!"

Tsunade hugged Chiba and said firmly. Shizune and Tsunade looked at Chiba in surprise.

"What are you talking about, you stinky—"

Before Tsunade could finish her words, Chiba suddenly looked up and kissed Tsunade on the forehead.

Tsunade froze for a moment, and Shizune's face turned red in shock.

"Wow wow wow...I didn't see anything, I really didn't see anything!"

Later, Chiba suddenly picked up the scroll and jumped up, looked at Tsunade and said with a smile: "I will come again, I mean what I say!"

Tsunade's pupils gradually dilated and she stared at Chiba blankly. His smile seemed to overlap with the two people deep in her heart.

After a while, Tsunade came to her senses and the drunkenness disappeared.

"Really? If you still have a conscience, you can come visit us once in a while!"

After bidding farewell to Tsunade and Shizune, Chiba left the Land of Grass. Although Tsunade said she didn't want to go back, he knew that Tsunade actually loved Konoha, the homeland that was created and protected by her grandfather.

Watching Chiba's departing back, Tsunade took a sip of wine, her eyes flickering. She touched her forehead, which seemed to still have a trace of warmth.

"Happiness? This brat is really good at talking about love!"

After a while, Tsunade suddenly threw the small wine glass aside, picked up the bottle directly, and shouted happily: "Come on, Shizune, let's have another drink. We must drink to our heart's content tonight!"

"Lady Tsunade, you've had too much to drink!"

At this moment, the smile on Tsunade's face was more sincere than ever before.

At the same time, Chiba left the Land of Grass. He knew that the battle between Kumogakure and Konoha must be very fierce, and even the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was sent out. It was obvious that Kumogakure was determined to fight Konoha to the end.

Now, Chiba faces two choices.

One is to go directly to the front line to support Konoha's battle;

The second is to sneak into Yunyin and destroy their logistical support.

Both methods have their own advantages. In terms of efficiency, the second method is faster. But for the first method, Chiba also wants to compete with the Eight-Tails, and wonders if he can defeat Killer Bee.

"Well, how should I choose?"

Just as Qianye was thinking, the sound of a fierce battle was heard at the edge of the forest.

"Someone is fighting!? And there looks to be quite a few people involved!"

Chiba muttered to himself and ran towards the direction where the sound came from. Then he saw two groups of ninjas fighting fiercely.

After observing the strength of both sides, Qianye couldn't help but frown.

"Is this... a war between the Kusa Ninja Village and the Taki Ninja Village!?"

There weren't many ninjas on either side taking part in the battle.

Chiba made a rough estimate and found that there were about twenty people from the Kusa Ninja Village, and nearly thirty people from the Taki Ninja Village.

The battle situation is clearly one-sided, and it is only a matter of time before the Grass Ninja Village is defeated.

Chiba thought that he had just passed by the Kusa Ninja Village, but he didn't expect to be defeated so quickly. It was really sad.
