Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

"Damn it! Nika died at the hands of those Xuan Yuan people who can control these parasitic explosive bugs. Are we going to lose Raka too now?!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, whose dark face often appeared as the evil minotaur in black and white manga, was now twisted in agony.

"I'm the Raikage! But I can't do anything!"

Beside him, Mabui, a black-skinned beauty with an exotic charm, whose curvaceous figure was adorned with a sexy red-trimmed fishnet shirt that clung to her chest, slightly revealing her enticing cleavage, pursed her full lips.

Her pretty face also showed the loss and pain of being helpless in the face of her companion's impending death.

Her eyes filled with pity as she looked at the Fourth Raikage, A, who was clenching his sandbag-sized bronze fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked, indicating his unbearable pain.

"Lord A! You've already done your best. You only went to Sugi Village to seize their secret scroll for the village's benefit!"

"Being hunted down by the Xuan Yuan people they hired is also something unavoidable. Raka won't blame you!"

Raka, whose chest was bulging with a hideous, giant, worm-like tumor, nodded weakly and even comforted the Fourth Raikage.

This made the black-skinned Raikage, who was as robust as a wild beast with bulging muscles, feel even more pained and self-reproachful.

The Cloud Village's temporary hiding place in the forest was shrouded in a sad and painful atmosphere.

The Fourth Raikage suddenly raised his thick head, his eyes flashing with determination, and roared gruffly,

"Mabui! Use Ninpou: Heavenly Transfer Technique to teleport me to Konoha! Maybe we can still ask Tsunade to save Raka!"

"If we wait any longer, Raka will surely die after that bug grows bigger!"

"As your leader, I won't allow myself to sit idly by and watch my subordinate die a slow death!"

Ninpou: Heavenly Transfer Technique is the Cloud Village's secret space-time ninjutsu. Currently, only a few Jonin in Cloud Village have mastered this technique, and Mabui is one of the best.

This space-time ninjutsu can ignore distance! It is not restricted by any conditions or regions, and can instantly transport any object to any designated location!

It can be said to be a god-level skill for transporting strategic materials and military supplies in war!

But it can only transport inanimate objects! Any living thing, including humans, will be torn apart and killed by the spatial rifts caused by the space-time jump!

Mabui was stunned by his words. Her sexy black face froze, and her meticulously styled silver shoulder-length hair swayed. Her face was filled with anxiety as she tried to dissuade him.

"Lord A! The only one who has ever successfully used the Heavenly Transfer Technique to move was your father, the Third Raikage!"

"Although you inherited the Third Raikage's terrifying physical fitness and strong physique!"

"The intense friction generated in the air during the Heavenly Transfer Technique may still cause irreversible damage to your body! Even…"

The surrounding blonde youth, Shee, and Raka, all echoed Mabui's concerns, trying to dissuade the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage's dark, massive face was filled with determination, "Don't say anymore! Mabui…"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden sound, like a heavy object falling from the sky, came from the forest not far away. In an instant, the forest floor beneath their feet began to shake violently like an earthquake.

The dense flocks of birds and beasts nesting in the lush forest were startled and flew into the sky at the same time.

Then came a deafening crash, as if a mountain had fallen to the ground.

"What's going on?!"

"Did those Xuan Yuan people chase after us and find us?!"

In the hidden forest, Raka and the blonde youth, Shee, were both startled, their faces filled with panic.

The Cloud Village ninjas quickly peeked out through the gaps in the forest, and even the powerful Fourth Raikage's black eyes, as small as bullets, involuntarily shrank.

They saw a blue and white behemoth, like a rolling hill, standing tall not far away in the forest.

The sky-covering white stretched endlessly, that soft white, like pure white clouds, extending to the end of the line of sight, forming a blue and white continuous mountain range that could not be seen.

"What… is that?! It's a monster! How can there be such a large creature?!"

Enduring the pain of the strange bug constantly sucking his life force from his chest, Raka, lying on the ground, murmured weakly with a shocked face, unable to believe it.

The blonde youth, Shee, who was always praised as the Raikage's left hand, also narrowed his blue eyes into pinpoints, unable to speak in astonishment.

As an elite Jonin in the Cloud Village, he was considered to be well-informed, but it was the first time he had seen a creature with such a huge and terrifying size.

The Fourth Raikage's dark face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the soft white, hill-like creature not far away, and he said in a deep voice.

The Fourth Raikage clenched his large, bull-headed fists, his eyes filled with a fiery gaze of eager anticipation at meeting a strong enemy, mixed with caution and apprehension.

Mabui stared into the distance for a while, and suddenly, as if recalling something, her eyes widened and she exclaimed in surprise,

"Lord A! That's Katsuyu! Tsunade-hime of Konoha's Summoning Beast! The legendary Katsuyu!"

"The only one who can summon that Katsuyu summoning beast is Tsunade-hime! Raka is saved this time!!"

"Katsuyu?!" The blonde youth, Shee, and the Fourth Raikage, A, were stunned by Mabui's joyful shout.

That's right! That soft, white and blue color, and the two soft tentacles on the head of that huge monster!

It is indeed very similar in appearance to Tsunade's Katsuyu summoning beast from the legendary Three Great Sage Locations!

No wonder they didn't react for a while. Tsunade has been semi-retired for decades, wandering around the ninja world.

Currently, there are indeed not many people in the ninja world who have seen Tsunade's summoning beast, Katsuyu, alive.

In addition, the size of the Katsuyu summoning beast, which looks like a palm-sized snail in the intelligence scroll about Tsunade sealed in the Cloud Village, is completely different!

No one would associate it with that!

The Fourth Raikage looked at Mabui appreciatively. Fortunately, thanks to Mabui, who is the Cloud Village's strategist, otherwise they would have really missed this only chance to save Raka!

The Fourth Raikage's rough bronze face was filled with ecstasy, "If Tsunade is there, no matter what, I'll go and invite her over!"

Turning around and looking at Raka, who was lying weakly on the ground, he said in a loud voice and prepared to leave, "Raka, hold on!"

With silver hair and dark skin, Mabui, her shapely buttocks accentuated by her pencil skirt, quickly stopped the Fourth Raikage.

“Lord Raikage! Please wait, let me go and fetch Tsunade of the Leaf Village!”

Hearing Mabui's call, the decisive Fourth Raikage Ai abruptly stopped in his tracks, placing great importance on Mabui, one of the few strategists in the Cloud Village.

Mabui hesitated for a moment, her clear voice carrying a sense of calm and wisdom, like the collision of glaciers.

“Lord Raikage! Please allow me to go and seek Tsunade of the Leaf Village!”

Raikage Ai, with his rugged features, furrowed his brow and said in a puzzled, coarse voice. “Mabui? Raka Ai is already on the verge of death, he won't last much longer!”

“I have the fastest speed with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode! I can bring Tsunade back the quickest!”

Mabui's sapphire-like blue eyes showed determination, her silver hair, styled in a neat and simple bun, swayed slightly.

“Lord Raikage! Tsunade has a volatile temper and is not easy to talk to.”

“If she were to meet you, with your equally impatient temperament, I fear you wouldn't reach an agreement. It would be better for me to go, it would be easier to invite Tsunade's assistance!”

The Fourth Raikage was stunned to hear this, being directly contradicted by his subordinate and having his quick temper pointed out, he showed no signs of anger or embarrassment.

Instead, Ai scratched the back of his head with his arm, as thick as a water buffalo's thigh and covered in veins, nodding in agreement with a deep voice.

“That is indeed the case! Mabui, you are right, then go quickly! You must bring Tsunade back!”

“You can agree to any of Tsunade's requests first! No matter the cost!”

“Yes! Lord Raikage!”

…

Naruto felt as if he were immersed in a soft, white space.

Warm, moist, and soft sensations surged in from all directions, boundless and endless.

The feeling of being surrounded and enveloped by something soft and fluffy brought him warmth as if he had returned to his hometown.

Naruto was stunned.

Wasn't he with Tsunade, Shizune, and Kurenai, still on the road to the Fire Country's capital, in the forest?

Just now, he had used the Summoning Technique that Tsunade had taught him for the first time.

How, after seeing the black ninjutsu patterns spreading in all directions from the handprint on the ground.

Did he only hear the whistling of the wind, and then it seemed like something enormous fell from the sky and landed on him, completely covering him.

Why was everything around him pure white, soft, fluffy, and sticky, like a mattress?

Naruto suddenly had a guess about the current situation. The soft thing enveloping him, could it be the Slug Sage?!

Tsunade's summoning beast, also known as the sage of the Shikkotsu Forest, is a species called Slug in the ninja world.

However, that Shikkotsu Forest only has one lonely Slug, and her name is Katsuyu.

Before Naruto could react, he heard Tsunade's muffled, mature, clear voice from beside him, also sunken in this boundless, soft, white river.

“Lady Katsuyu! Please shrink your body a little, it's not very convenient like this!”

“Alright, Lady Tsunade!”

Then, with a “poof” sound, the entire forest experienced the intense tremors of the earth shaking and mountains swaying again.

The warm and moist sensation that had tightly enveloped Naruto disappeared without a trace.

The soft, pure white Slug Sage, with its mountain-like enormous body, disappeared without a trace from on top of Naruto and the others.

Leaving only a palm-sized, cute, slug-like creature with blue and white stripes, appearing in front of Naruto's eyes.

“Ara~~?”

The two soft, long antennae on the Slug Sage's head twitched, and a playful, melodious, gentle, beautiful voice rang out.

“Was it this little child who summoned me? It's quite unexpected~”

“I don't remember making a contract with such a cute little child~”

The Slug Sage's soft, white, petite body was fluffy, and as she spoke, she slowly crawled onto Naruto's shoulder.

Despite her small size, she now seemed to be as big as half of Naruto's head, her two soft and flexible antennae swaying back and forth, occasionally touching Naruto's cheek.

Her gentle voice was so soothing that Naruto's heart was melting.

Tsunade straightened her body, her delicate face showing some complexity and shock, as she looked at Naruto, who was currently sizing up the Slug Sage perched on his shoulder after she had shrunk down.

This kid… This is the first time I've taught him, and it's also the first time he's come into contact with and used the Summoning Technique, right!

I originally only intended to have him try a couple of times to familiarize himself with the hand seals for the Summoning Technique, but I didn't expect him to successfully summon the Slug Sage in one go!

Although the difficulty of the Summoning Technique is only C-rank, the difficulty of contracting a powerful summoning beast of the Slug Sage's level is definitely close to a regular S-rank ninjutsu!

Moreover… if I'm not hallucinating, Naruto just summoned the Slug Sage's entire main body, right!!

She has been to the Shikkotsu Forest where the Slug Sage resides several times.

As one of the few true sages who have lived for thousands of years in the ninja world,

The Slug Sage's single slug body is so enormous that it almost covers and fills the entire Shikkotsu Forest!

Even she, who possesses the vast chakra bloodline of the Senju clan, can only barely summon a part of the Slug Sage's enormous clone on a regular basis!

If I remember correctly, he still can't control the Nine-Tails' chakra within him.

Which means that this kid, as a Jinchuriki, summoned the Slug Sage's main body using only his own chakra?!

Just how much chakra does this kid possess?! He's still a kid who hasn't even graduated from the ninja academy!

Tsunade suppressed the slight surge of shock in her heart and quickly and politely stepped forward to introduce Naruto to the Slug Sage.

Although the Slug Sage is gentle and relatively easy to talk to, she can't really be treated as if she isn't a sage who has lived for thousands of years.

“I see, is he Lady Tsunade's newly accepted disciple?~”

The Slug Sage, perched on Naruto's shoulder, said softly, as if in thought.

“Please take care of me, Lady Slug!” Naruto tilted his head and nodded at the soft, white slug on his shoulder.

“Ara ara~ What a polite and cute little child~”

The Slug Sage's gentle voice carried a hint of joy. She had lived alone in the Shikkotsu Forest for thousands of years, and she was quite lonely.

She especially liked chatting with Tsunade, one of the few acquaintances, but Tsunade had rarely summoned her in recent decades…

“However, Naruto-sama doesn't need to be so polite in the future, after all, you are Lady Tsunade's disciple~”

Hearing the millennium-old sage call a little boy like himself 'sama,' Naruto suddenly felt strange.

I call you 'sama,' and you call me 'sama,' we're each addressing each other, right…
