Chiling quickly slid forward.
Because the environment of the Shikkotsu Forest has been shaped by slugs for thousands of years, Dosuke only saw the surroundings rapidly shifting around him.
After a while, Chiling stopped.
Slowly stabilizing, Chiling said, "Dosuke, you've arrived."
"Okay, thank you, Chiling."
"You're welcome, Dosuke; you can call me directly if you need me outside." After Chiling finished speaking, she slowly squirmed and left.
Dosuke looked up at Katsuyu lying on the ground.
"Oh, it's Little Dosuke. What's the matter with you?"
It may be that seeing Dosuke come again so soon, Katsuyu's tone was obviously a little happy.
"Katsuyu-sama, I have something to ask you for advice," Dosuke shouted loudly.
After speaking, he took out the bottle containing the Hero Water from behind.
"Katsuyu-sama, have you ever seen this kind of water?" Dosuke opened the bottle and poured a little water in front of Katsuyu.
"Oh, this kind of water..." Katsuyu fell into deep thought.
"It feels very familiar."
Katsuyu's words made Dosuke excited.
"Really? Katsuyu-sama, can you think about it; this thing is very important to me." Dosuke looked expectantly at Katsuyu.
"Understood, I remembered; this is natural energy. Although it is very thin, this is the feeling of natural energy." Katsuyu's ethereal voice was full of joy.
That's right, that's it. No wonder the chakra will skyrocket if you drink too much. In fact, the skyrocketing chakra is just entering sage mode, but it is not a complete sage mode.
After drinking too much at one time, you will die. How is this different from those who failed in sage mode at Mount Myoboku in the original story? One is to turn into a frog or a stone statue.
It's all self-destructive behavior. It's just that the Hero Water in Takigakure makes people die directly.
"I got this from a mission. It is said that it can increase people's chakra. Tsunade-sensei said that she once felt a similar breath from you," Dosuke replied.
"It is indeed the feeling of natural energy, but it is a diluted natural energy."
"Katsuyu-sama, why did I find through tests that this water is no different from ordinary water?" Dosuke asked the doubts in his heart.
"Hahaha, silly boy, although there is natural energy in this water, it is water. What is the difference between water and water energy?" Katsuyu said with a smile.
"Katsuyu-sama, can I master sage mode through this?" Dosuke asked excitedly.
"Oh, did Tsunade even tell you about sage mode? Little Dosuke, I advise you not to try it. Whether it is your current control of chakra or the amount of chakra, it is a bit too early to learn sage mode."
"Well, I get it; I won't try it forcibly." Dosuke had now recovered from his initial excitement to calm.
Tsunade never told him about sage mode.
"That's good." Katsuyu nodded her huge head.
"Katsuyu-sama, is there any way you can use the Hero Water in this bottle to increase my chakra?" Dosuke asked.
"You can try this. If it is the natural energy of the Shikkotsu Forest or the other two sacred places, I will definitely stop you, but I can help you with this diluted natural energy." Katsuyu nodded.
After a while, a huge slug more than three meters high crawled not far behind Katsuyu.
"Little Dosuke, you should stay with Mizurina during this period of time. She will help you practice. Give me the bottle!" Katsuyu took the bottle containing the Hero Water from Dosuke's hand and swallowed it.
After a while, Katsuyu spit out the bottle containing the Hero Water from her mouth.
"I neutralized the Hero Water in the bottle for you; you should be able to feel chakra more easily."
Dosuke received the neutralized Hero Water from Katsuyu and found that the blue water in the bottle was slightly white.
"Little Dosuke, follow Mizurina."
"Thank you, Katsuyu-sama; I will definitely be careful."
"Dosuke, please hop on my back." Different from Chiling's soft girlish voice, Mizurina's voice revealed a lazy tone.
"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Mizurina."
"You're welcome; it's my duty to assist Dosuke."
After finishing speaking, Mizurina carried Dosuke slowly toward the depths of the Shikkotsu Forest.
After Mizurina and Dosuke left Katsuyu, a slug slowly crawled up to Katsuyu.
"Are you going to let Dosuke master sage mode?"
Katsuyu smiled. "It's been a long time since we have produced sages from the Shikkotsu Forest lineage and the Ryuchi Cave lineage. Tsunade is not suitable for sage mode. Forced cultivation will only harm her."
After finishing speaking, Katsuyu laid her entire body on the ground and slowly fell asleep.
After walking for a while, Mizurina stopped suddenly. "Dosuke, we've arrived."
Jumping off Mizurina's body, Dosuke found that it was a small platform.
"Mizurina, what should I do next?" Dosuke asked with a puzzled expression.
Mizurina's head pointed to the edge of the platform. "Dosuke, you need to get to that edge."
"Next, I will break down the water in this bottle with the acid that our slugs have and turn it into gas, covering you, Dosuke."
"Then what should I do?"
"Dosuke, for the rest, just work hard to improve your chakra. Stay calm, and you will succeed naturally. If there is any accident, I will assist you." Mizurina's pleasant voice came.
"Okay, I see."
After speaking, Dosuke handed over the Hero Water to Mizurina and walked slowly to the edge of the platform by himself.
Sitting cross-legged on the edge of the platform, Dosuke could hear the howling wind.
Looking down, below was a few thousand meters above the ground; even with Dosuke's current ninja ability, he still couldn't help being frightened.
"Dosuke, calm down; I'm going to start." Mizurina shouted at Dosuke.
