Chapter 17: The Possibility of Learning Shikkotsu Forest Senji Sannin Mode
Well, forget about it. Yue Yan stopped thinking about those things and focused on the feather of Ho - Oh.
In the world of Pokémon, it is said that those who see Ho - Oh will be blessed with eternal happiness. Ho - Oh is also a first - class god. It rules over the three legendary birds and has the power of resurrection.
Putting aside its ability to enhance recovery and vitality, the ability to increase the lifespan limit is truly terrifying. This means that if one keeps this feather with them all the time, and without illness or disasters, they can live a much longer life. In fact, it's possible to live indefinitely.
Based on his experiences of opening the blue treasure chest this time and previous treasure chests, Yue Yan knew that every time he first obtained a treasure chest of a certain grade, there would surely be good items inside.
Therefore, Yue Yan began to look forward to the good things that might be in the treasure chests of a higher grade than the blue one.
Actually, he currently lacked a lot of things. Although most of these deficiencies were due to his age limit, Yue Yan still wanted to give it a try.
Suddenly, he thought of a technique that one must master in the later stages of the Hokage world. Without hesitation, Yue Yan bit his finger and began to form hand seals.
"Summoning Technique!"
After a puff of white smoke, a blue - and - white slug roughly the size of a brick appeared in front of Yue Yan. It was none other than the well - known Katsuyu in the ninja world.
As early as when Yue Yan could independently perform some surgeries, he had gained the recognition of Katsuyu and obtained the qualification to summon it.
Compared with Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave, the two major summoning holy places, there is only one sage Katsuyu in the Bone Forest. What others summon are just small parts split from Katsuyu.
Even by the end of Shippuden, no one had been able to summon the complete Katsuyu.
Maybe Yue Yan could grow to that level through accumulation and his super newbie constitution, but it wasn't the time to think about these things yet.
Katsuyu crawled up Yue Yan's wrist and onto his palm, healing the wound on his finger.
"So it's little Yue Yan. Did you summon me for something?"
"Yes," Yue Yan said slowly after organizing his words. "I heard that Lord Jiraiya, as an heir of Mount Myoboku, mastered a powerful ninjutsu called Senji there. Lord Katsuyu, I'd like to ask if our Bone Forest has a similar ninjutsu?"
Hearing this, Katsuyu was silent for a moment and then slowly nodded.
"Yes. Although the Senji mastered in the Bone Forest is different from that of Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave, in essence, it is also a method of using natural energy, so we collectively call it Senji. Do you want to learn this, little Yue Yan?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan was about to shout excitedly that he wanted to learn it, but then Katsuyu poured cold water on him.
"No. If you learn it now, you'll turn into Ittan. So I won't teach you."
"The consequence is so serious?"
Yue Yan frowned. From the original story, he knew the training method of the Sannin Mode of Mount Myoboku and that one would turn into a stone statue if the training failed. However, the two sages, Shenza and Shima, had the Black Receiver that could expel natural energy from the body. Logically, sage Katsuyu should have something similar. Otherwise, how did Chishima train in the Sannin Mode back then?
As if sensing Yue Yan's confusion, the two small antennae on Katsuyu's head wiggled, and it spat a mouthful of saliva onto Yue Yan's forearm.
This wasn't ordinary saliva; it was Katsuyu's saliva, which, with another name, became Katsuyu's only offensive skill, Tongue-Tooth Glue Acid.
Yue Yan saw white smoke rapidly rising from the part of his forearm that came into contact with the Tongue-Tooth Glue Acid. Immediately, an indescribable sharp pain hit him. In just a moment, the skin on his forearm was dissolved, exposing the bloody muscle tissue beneath.
Although Yue Yan grimaced in pain, he still endured it and didn't shake off Katsuyu. Then he looked at Katsuyu with a puzzled look.
Katsuyu didn't beat around the bush and explained, "When training in the Sannin Mode in the Bone Forest, one won't turn into stone, but that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. The Bone Forest has long been experiencing acid rain with a power similar to that of the Tongue-Tooth Glue Acid just now. If you go to the Bone Forest to train in the Sannin Mode now, you'll definitely be dissolved into thick liquid."
Katsuyu pointed at the area where granulation had started to grow and was slowly recovering with its small antennae.
"Your recovery ability needs to be at least twice as fast as it is now. Otherwise, I won't agree to you going for the training."
After hearing this, Yue Yan nodded, indicating that he would obey.
At this time, he also understood why Tsunade, named after Princess Katsuyu, couldn't use the Sannin Mode of the Bone Forest. It was mainly because Tsunade didn't have such a strong recovery ability to withstand the constant erosion of the acid rain. She couldn't just rely on and keep consuming the Byakugo Technique that had accumulated chakra for many years.
In the original story, only Chishima could use the Sannin Mode of the Bone Forest because Chishima already had the Senju body with super - fast recovery.
Yue Yan even suspected that Chishima's almost perverted recovery ability in the later stage wasn't something he originally had but was gradually developed to this extent during the training in the Sannin Mode in the Bone Forest.
"So, that Kunai could really have killed Chishima back then. It seems that netizens have wrongly blamed him. He's still the same dumbass all the way."
Katsuyu didn't catch what Yue Yan was muttering to himself. Instead, it looked at the almost - healed arm and couldn't help but sigh.
"Although your recovery ability is a bit inferior to that person I saw, it's still extremely rare in the world."
"I understand, Lord Katsuyu. Thank you for coming here."
Hearing this, Katsuyu waved the small antennae on its head, as if waving goodbye to Yue Yan.
"It's okay, little Yue Yan. I'm glad you summoned me."
After saying that, Katsuyu disappeared in a puff of white smoke in front of Yue Yan.
Yue Yan lay back on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
It seems that the way to learn Sannin Mode is temporarily a dead end. To increase his chances of survival in the future, Yue Yan had no choice but to make up for it in other ways, such as developing a sensory ninjutsu as he had previously thought.
Of course, Yue Yan didn't just rely on imagination. He had so many works from his past life as references, so he wasn't worried.
For example, there's a certain thunder god whose power can destroy the world but was defeated by a non - conductive rubber boy. Yue Yan was very interested in one of his sensory abilities.
Anyway, he couldn't practice other things at the moment, so it was a good time to improve the sensory ninjutsu he used to deal with the bandit leader before.
Yue Yan got up and went to the training ground. He channeled his Lightning Bolt into the Daichi and used extremely weak currents to simulate an electric grid. As long as something passed by, it would cause fluctuations in the grid.
Although this move couldn't compare to a real sensory ninjutsu, it had the advantages of a wide range and strong concealment.
However, Yue Yan was still not proficient. Once the range exceeds a certain limit, these currents will spread uncontrollably into the Daichi, and not long after, the released currents will naturally dissipate.
Just when Yue Yan had been trying for a long time and finally got a hint of the knack before his chakra ran out, Xiaolan, who had followed him, came over.
"Damn it!"
Yue Yan was also quite speechless about this. What was originally just an exclamation to express his surprise has now been picked up by Xiaolan, and Xiaolan seemed to like it very much. Yue Yan didn't plan to make him change it. Anyway, he should be the only one in this world who could understand it.
"You said you want to spar with me to test your recent training results?"
Seeing Xiaolan nod, Yue Yan smiled and agreed. Although the wound on his arm hasn't healed yet, it's just a sparring session and won't have much of an impact.
