Because the Slug Sage's true form is in the middle of Shikkotsu Forest, and Uchiha Kakuzan needs the acidic mucus spit out by the slug's true form to cultivate Sage Mode, and the very center of Shikkotsu Forest is also the place with the most concentrated natural energy, which is also beneficial for Uchiha Kakuzan to cultivate Sage Mode.
When Uchiha Kakuyama arrived at his destination, he was utterly stunned by the enormous giant slug before him.
To put it simply, how big are the Tailed Beasts? Compared to this, they're just large insects. How big are the Ten-Tails? Compared to this, they're just little brothers. The slug in front of Uchiha Kakuyama is equivalent to ten Ten-Tails. Even the head of this giant slug seems to pierce the clouds.
As Uchiha Kakuzan stared in disbelief at the slug before him, the slug's voice echoed back.
"Lord Uchiha Kakuzan, it's a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to working with you in the future."
Uchiha Kakuzan snapped out of his daze and looked at the enormous creature before him, saying, "Slug Sage, you're too kind. You're the senior, so I should be saying that. It's a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
Just then, the small slug in front of Uchiha Kagami said, "It's too inconvenient to talk to you with my real body, so I'll talk to you with this clone instead."
Uchiha Kakuzan also shifted his gaze from the giant slug and looked at the slug in front of him, saying, "Slug Sage, you don't need to be so polite. We are all juniors in front of you."

Chapter 201 Cultivating Immortal Techniques
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Slug replied in a voice that sounded like a little girl, "It's alright. I address everyone who has made a contract with me as 'Master.' Kakuyama-sama, you can just call me Slug."
Upon hearing the Slug Sage's words, Uchiha Kakuzan understood that this was indeed the case and readily agreed, saying, "Alright, Slug, I'll leave the rest to you."
The slug shook its head and said cheerfully, "I also hope you can master my Sage Mode. I have had many contractors throughout the ages, but not many people have been able to master my Sage Mode. Compared to the Earth Dragon Cave and Mount Myōboku, there are relatively few people who have successfully mastered my Sage Technique. Although I don't really care, I still feel a little uncomfortable."
Uchiha Kakuzan nodded in agreement upon hearing the slug's words. There was no other way, as the conditions for cultivating Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest were quite demanding, and few people could complete them.
Next, Uchiha Kakuyama, led by the slug, arrived near the area below the slug's head. This place not only had a high concentration of natural energy, but it was also convenient for the slug to expel its special mucus.
After Uchiha Kakuyama settled down, a light drizzle began to fall from above, evenly covering his bare upper body with a lot of sticky liquid. As soon as the liquid landed, a sizzling sound was heard, as if Uchiha Kakuyama's body had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid.
Uchiha Kakuzan also felt a burning pain when the slime landed on his body, and this burning pain became more and more intense as time went on.
Uchiha Kakuzan could clearly feel that his skin had been completely corroded by the mucus, which was now eroding his muscle tissue.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama quickly activated the chakra and life energy within his body to repair himself.
At this moment, the slug beside him spoke up: "Lord Qiushan, you need to calm down at this time, feel and absorb the natural energy, and control the ratio between it and the chakra in your body. Only in this way can you successfully cultivate the Sage Art."
Uchiha Kakuzan frowned slightly upon hearing the slug's words. He endured the intense burning pain in his body, allowing it to heal naturally. He placed his hands on his lower abdomen, quietly sensing the omnipresent natural energy in the Shikkotsu Forest and attempting to capture it.
······
The next morning, when Tsunade arrived at the Takamagahara space villa, she found Uchiha Kazuyama looking pale. At this time, Uchiha Kazuyama had just returned from the Shikkotsu Forest and had just changed out of his trousers, which had been corroded and were now just a shred of fabric.
Tsunade looked at Uchiha Kakuzan, whose face was deathly pale and who had lost his eyebrows and hair. Although she couldn't find any injuries on him, Tsunade, who had also tried Sage Mode, felt a slight stirring in her heart upon seeing this familiar scene.
"You went to Shikkotsu Forest last night?"
Uchiha Kakuyama nodded weakly. You see, the slug sap secreted by the slug sage is incredibly corrosive. Even Orochimaru, who is known for his self-preservation, didn't want to face it head-on, let alone soak in it for a whole night.
"The slug sludge is really terrifying, Tsunade-nee. I heard from the slug that you've experienced it a few times?"
Tsunade's pale yellow eyebrows twitched slightly as she skillfully performed a Healing Palm Technique to heal Uchiha Kagami, while saying...
"Yes, the slug's mucus is too corrosive. I only tried it a few times, but I gave up later. Otherwise, my body wouldn't have been able to withstand it before I could master the immortal arts, and I would have died directly."
Uchiha Kagami's body was soothed by Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, and he comfortably closed his eyes.
"I stayed in there all night, and my chakra is almost completely depleted. I need to rest for a few days."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Tsunade's hand, which was resting on him, trembled slightly.
She had experienced that burning pain before. At first it was okay, but later the burning pain became stronger and stronger, as if the bones and internal organs in her body were about to be fused together.
Even with her strong personality, she couldn't last half an hour, let alone a whole night.
Looking at Uchiha Kagami, whose eyes were closed and face was deathly pale, Tsunade's eyes softened, and she couldn't help but give him a light peck on the cheek.
After being secretly kissed by Tsunade, Uchiha Kakuzan, before she could escape, hurriedly pulled her into his arms. Looking at Tsunade's beautiful face and feeling the magnificent chest pressing against his, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't wait for Tsunade to speak before kissing her red lips.
The two kissed more and more passionately, their breathing became more and more rapid, and Tsunade's clothes became more and more disheveled. If it weren't for Uchiha Kakuzan's consideration for Tsunade's pregnant body, he would not know where Tsunade, who was holding him, would have run off to.
When the two finished packing and came down from the villa, half an hour had passed. By this time, Uchiha Kakuyama's complexion was rosy and his breathing was steady. Tsunade, who came down with him, had a face as beautiful as a peach blossom, her face glowing with health. Her eyes seemed to contain the entire starry sky, sparkling and gentle as water.
When Tsunade saw the two pretty maids, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Yoh, busily preparing breakfast downstairs, and thought of the towering pillar beneath Uchiha Okayama earlier, she couldn't help but say, "Okayama-kun, I haven't been feeling well for the past year. Why don't you take these two girls in? Otherwise, they're waiting for you."
Uchiha Kakuyama was taken aback by Tsunade's generosity, as she was usually stingy. He shook his head and said, "They are still a bit young. Let's wait another two years."
Tsunade, being a medical expert, agreed with Uchiha Kakuzan's decision. She rolled her eyes and suggested, "Don't let Shizune serve you. Anyway, I think Shizune's heart is with you. It's just that she's shy and embarrassed to get close to you."
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Tsunade with some surprise upon hearing her words. He never expected that Shizune would like him. However, he still shook his head: "Let's talk about Shizune later. Let's cultivate our relationship first. Otherwise, I won't be able to bring myself to do it."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Tsunade rolled her eyes as she walked with him to the dining table. She secretly pinched his soft flesh a few times, muttering with her rosy lips, "I wonder who it is that has made a move on me after only knowing me for a few days."

Chapter 202 Obito Uchiha's Determination
While secretly reaching out her small hand and pinching Uchiha Okayama's soft flesh a few times, Tsunade muttered with her rosy lips, "I wonder who it is that has made a move on me after only knowing me for a few days."
Uchiha Kakuyama, after being attacked by Tsunade and hearing her words, gasped and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's mainly because Tsunade-nee is so beautiful that I couldn't control myself."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's explanation, Tsunade rolled her eyes at him smugly, snorted, and let him go. She then sat down at the dining table and began to enjoy her sumptuous breakfast.
Seeing that Tsunade had let him off so easily, Uchiha Kakuyama breathed a sigh of relief. He quietly rubbed the spot where Tsunade had assaulted him, forced a smile, and sat down at the dining table.
……
Konoha Village Memorial Monument
The morning sun had just begun to shine here, but a tall, upright figure seemed to have been standing there all along.
The figure's silver-gray hair was covered with a few dewdrops, and the figure seemed to have no reaction at all. The black mask he wore also concealed the subtle expressions on his face.
Kakashi's exposed eye, its gaze dull and lifeless, stared at the memorial tablet before him as he spoke in a dejected tone:
"Obito, I've come to see you again. Come to think of it, it's been several years since you left. I'm such a useless piece of trash."
"Not only did I fail to protect you, but I also failed to help Master and Mistress when the Nine-Tailed Fox was causing chaos a few years ago, causing them to die that night."
"Even Rin, whom I promised to protect with my life, ultimately died at my hands, from the very ninjutsu Chidori that I developed."
"Right now, I feel a strong, lingering smell of blood on my hands that I can't wash off no matter how much I wash. I also reek of rotting blood. Obito, you must be very disappointed in me."
"The Third Hokage was also very disappointed in me. My strength has not improved in the past few years. Although I have earned the title of Copy Ninja Kakashi, it is all thanks to the Sharingan you gave me."
“Speaking of copy ninjas, one of your clansmen, an Uchiha with a similar title to me, Uchiha Okayama, who possesses the Copy Eye, is getting more and more powerful.”
"Now even Danzo, who has always targeted your Uchiha clan, doesn't dare to provoke him. Now, your traces in Konoha are becoming fewer and fewer. Even your clansmen have moved away from Konoha, and we don't know where they went."
"If you were still here, you would be very happy. After all, you would be very happy to be free from the cage of Konoha."
Just as Kakashi was rambling on in front of the memorial stone, behind him, in a place that was neither visible nor perceptible, Obito Uchiha was also looking at Kakashi standing there with a complicated expression.
His eyes sometimes flashed with nostalgia, sometimes filled with resentment, and his expressionless face also had a pale tinge, a result of the loss Obito Uchiha suffered at Uchiha Hill, from which he had not yet fully recovered.
When Obito Uchiha heard Kakashi mention Uchiha Kagakuyama, a look of fear and resentment flashed across his usually expressionless face, and he clenched his teeth tightly, clearly trying his best to control his anger.
When he heard that the Uchiha clan had moved away, he was shocked. He now had a fear of the Uchiha clan's territory, so he didn't go there again after returning this time. He never expected that the Uchiha clan, which he had always been concerned about, would move away so quietly.
Obito Uchiha abruptly turned his head, looked at the pitcher plant Zetsu (black and white) beside him, and asked with a frown and displeasure:
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Konoha Village at all times? The Uchiha clan's relocation is such a big deal, why didn't you tell me?"
Black Zetsu remained silent, only staring grimly at Kakashi not far away, while the more lively White Zetsu hurriedly offered an explanation:
"How could that be? Several of my clones have been keeping watch at the gates of Konoha Village. Let alone the relocation of such a large clan as the Uchiha, I would observe any group with more than four people carefully."
"Speaking of which, recently almost no members of the Uchiha clan have come out. The few Uchiha kids who have come out are only with their teachers, doing extracurricular activities near Konoha Village."
Just then, Black Zetsu, his face grim, interrupted White Zetsu:
"No need to explain. Kakashi has always followed the Third Hokage, and his intelligence has always been very accurate. Since he said that the Uchiha clan has moved out of the village, it should be true."
Just as White Zetsu was about to say it was impossible, Black Zetsu stopped him again, saying:
"Have you forgotten the fluctuations of space-time ninjutsu we sensed when we went to the Uchiha clan's territory? It should be Uchiha Kakuzan. His awakened space-time ninjutsu eye technique should be a more advanced eye technique than Obito's. It was able to relocate the Uchiha clan members silently. It seems we need to hurry up with our plan, otherwise, who knows what kind of accidents might happen."
“Obito, how long are you going to be such a waste? Things are different now. You have absolutely no chance of winning against Uchiha Kakuzan. If you continue to be soft-hearted, our plan will never be realized, and you will never see Rin again. Now is the time for you to make a decision.”
Obito Uchiha, who was standing there, changed his expression instantly upon hearing Black Zetsu's words. His expression became filled with struggle and hesitation, and even his hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists. His gaze towards Kakashi also turned gloomy.
Obito Uchiha looked at Kakashi and said in a hoarse voice, "Kakashi, you piece of trash, today I'm taking back what I left on you. My Mangekyou Sharingan has been on you for so long, and all you've done is earn the title of Copy Ninja. You're a disgrace to me."
"Kakashi, don't blame me. Let's meet in another world, together with Rin."
After Obito Uchiha finished speaking, he casually put on an orange mask. Then, his body seemed to be erased piece by piece, disappearing from the world. Finally, his entire body disappeared in front of Zetsu Black and White.
At this moment, Kakashi was still standing in front of the memorial stone, staring blankly at the name on it, exuding a lazy and decadent aura.
Just then, a black-gloved hand suddenly reached out from behind him and was about to touch him.
Chapter 203 Kakashi VS Obito Uchiha
Chapter 203 Kakashi VS Obito Uchiha
Kakashi was still standing in front of the memorial stone, staring blankly, exuding an aura of laziness and decadence.
At that moment, a black-gloved hand appeared silently behind Kakashi, about to touch his body.
"Ok?"
Kakashi suddenly sensed something was wrong and turned to look behind him. What came into his view was a mysterious person wearing a swirling mask and a black robe with auspicious cloud patterns. Most importantly, this person was about to touch him.
Kakashi's hair stood on end, and he was about to react when the mysterious man's hand was already on his shoulder.
"Kakashi, say goodbye to this space." Obito Uchiha said softly as he used his eye technique to suck Kakashi into the Kamui dimension.
Kakashi was completely powerless to resist when Obito Uchiha's Kamui eye technique pulled him in, as if he had entered a transparent vortex and was being sucked in while spinning.
Just as Kakashi was about to be sucked into the Kamui dimension, his figure suddenly turned into smoke with a "bang," and he disappeared completely.
Obito Uchiha was stunned for a moment, staring at the smoke that Kakashi had turned into, and muttered, "Shadow Clone? When did that happen?"
At that moment, Kakashi suddenly appeared beside Obito Uchiha, and his right hand was enveloped in a ball of lightning, clearly indicating that he had used Chidori.
Just as Obito Uchiha was stunned, Kakashi suddenly rushed over, and the Chidori in his hand pierced into his body.
Obito Uchiha clearly noticed Kakashi's appearance as well. Seeing the Chidori in Kakashi's hand, his expressionless face quickly turned gloomy.
When Kakashi inserted Chidori into the mysterious man's body, he suddenly felt something was wrong, because it was as if he had inserted it into thin air, without any sense of contact.
Kakashi seemed to have encountered a phantom. Not only did his Thousand Years Sword not touch the enemy, but he also passed right through the enemy without any hindrance, without causing him the slightest harm or effect.
After rushing past the enemy, Kakashi quickly turned around and looked at the mysterious man still standing there with a look of surprise.
Kakashi's pupils shrank to a single point as he stared at the enemy before him, as if recalling something. He murmured, "The mysterious person who appeared on the night of the Nine-Tails' death, the day my master died."
