Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

"I'll nibble!"

Gu Zang used the bark of the Wet Bone Forest as a tool to vent his anger and kept gnawing on it.

As a tardigrade, he has eight sharp claws and terrifying mouthparts.

Especially after being nourished by chakra and natural energy, the tardigrade's body is no longer as small as its original form.

But no matter how much he grows, he can never defeat the towering slug fairy in the distance.

It was unknown how long ago that he was reborn as a water bear, and then he entered the Wet Bone Forest after binding himself to a Devouring System of the Heavens.

The Devouring System of the Universe, as the name suggests, means that only by devouring can one become stronger.

But what does the Wet Bone Forest have?

As one of the three holy places in the Naruto world, the Wet Bone Forest has only one kind of insect besides these trees full of natural energy - slugs.

When Gu Zang wanted to eat a slug secretly, he was slapped away by the Slug Immortal, and then dragged back half-dead. After that, he became much more obedient.

Eating slugs was impossible. Unlike the other two sacred species, the slugs in the Wet Bone Forest were all part of the old woman's body.

The days of being an old woman in the Wet Bone Forest were leisurely and boring.

Every day when he opens his eyes, he starts to gnaw on the bark under the vague gaze of the slug fairy. When he is full, he sleeps and eats again when he wakes up. Occasionally, he challenges the old woman and is patted to sleep.

Gu Zang once discussed with the Slug Immortal and asked her to let him go, but the Slug Immortal disagreed.

They talked about things like a change of destiny and an unseen species, and insisted on keeping him.

He was the one who wanted to stay no matter whether Gu Zang lived or died.

Gu Zang could only continue to gnaw on the bark in the Wet Bone Forest with tears in his eyes, trying to improve himself.

Fortunately, as one of the three holy places, it has abundant natural energy.

As the body improves, chakra grows without the need for refinement.

But the Devouring Heavens System had been abandoned for too long. If Gu Zang had not hidden a lot of trees from the Wet Bone Forest in his personal space, and the old woman had turned a blind eye and ignored him, he would have doubted whether the system was still in his possession.

The system must have a prompt that something can be swallowed before swallowing can be improved. The only thing that can be swallowed in the Wet Bone Forest is an old slug woman, and he can't beat her.

......

After eating, Gu Zang used his eight limbs to jump down from the tree trunk, then stimulated his body with chakra and gradually restored his body shape.

His body, which was less than one millimeter in size, began to grow visibly, and only stopped at a height of twenty meters.

The Slug Immortal in the distance just glanced at Gu Zang indifferently, uttered an ambiguous "hmm", and then ignored him.

"Old woman! Fight again!"

Gu Zang's blood boiled, and he used all eight of his claws to rush towards the Slug Immortal.

The closer it ran, the bigger the slug fairy appeared in Gu Zang's vision.

You have to know that in the later period of Naruto, the 400-meter slug summoned by Tsunade and Haruno Sakura together was only one-tenth of the Slug Sage's apparent strength!

Gu Zang certainly knew that he could not defeat the Slug Immortal. With her huge body, bumping into her would be no different from being bitten by a mosquito.

But challenge! Climb! Courage!

Things worth pursuing always seem unreasonable!

"kill!!!"

Just as Gu Zang was charging forward selflessly, he did not notice that a teleportation array made of talismans appeared on the side of the Wet Bone Forest.

The Slug Immortal slowly twisted his endless body, and countless small slugs gathered into a whip, which lightly whipped Gu Zang away and headed straight for the teleportation array.

Buzz—a puff of smoke.

"What the hell? What are you doing here? Who is the killer Sen... Sen... Senju Hashirama?"

Gu Zang raised his head and looked at the man who was laughing.

Black hair, black robe, red armor.

And... clear eyes.

"Tsunade-chan~ This is summoning~ Don't you think it's cute~ Slug... Hey?"

Senju Hashirama curiously put his face close to the ground and carefully examined the ancient treasure on the ground.

At this time, Gu Zang was channeled out for the first time, and his body recovered to a size of about five centimeters, which was similar to the radius of the channeling array.

"This slug seems a little different~hahaha~"

The hearty laughter made the little blonde girl beside him laugh as well.

The little loli had two buns tied behind her head and was wearing a white suspender with two red bows on it. She was holding a dice cup in her arms. It was Tsunade.

But Gu Zang couldn't be happy and laugh along, because there was a cold-faced handsome man with white hair next to them.

He wore a half forehead protector, a black robe and blue armor, and was named Senju Tobirama!

He was staring at Gu Zang with narrowed eyes. Gu Zang had no doubt that if he dared to move, he would immediately spit and pierce him!

Swah——

Before Gu Zang could think of what to say, Senju Tobirama had already flashed to Gu Zang's side, holding a water needle between his two fingers, and was about to nail Gu Zang to the ground.

"Tobirama!"

"Big brother!"

Tobirama did not give in to Hashirama's obstruction. He looked at his elder brother with a cold face, and the water needle between his two fingers almost pierced Gu Zang's body.

Gu Zang was so scared that he almost died of dehydration.

Although water bears are said to be immortal, that is just a claim. They can withstand high temperatures and high pressures, and cannot be killed by drowning or suffocating in a vacuum, but there is an upper limit. It does not mean that water bears are invincible!

Hashirama's face, which had been serious for a moment, immediately lost its composure when he saw Tobirama's serious look. He said with a look of dejection: "Hey! Tobirama! At least let me talk~"

"Humph!"

Tobirama didn't give his elder brother any face, but still didn't do it. He gestured with the water needle, snorted coldly and looked at Gu Zang.

"You, what are you?"

Tsunade next to him was used to this family atmosphere. She jumped to Gu Zang's side in three or two steps, stretched out her chubby little hands and pulled Gu Zang's insect body twice.

Gu Zang looked at the needle hanging above his head and could only cooperate by slowly rolling on the ground, which made Hashirama and Tsunade laugh again.

"Look at this little bug, it's so cute, maybe it's a relative of the slug, don't be so nervous, Tobirama~"

Hashirama advised again, patting Tobirama's arm.

Hashirama's toughness comes from his absolute strength. No matter who is here, he is sure that he can kill the opponent with one slap before the opponent can suddenly hurt Tsunade. If one slap is not enough, he will use a wooden slap!

Tobirama looked at Hashirama and was about to say something, but after looking at Kozang, he just snorted coldly.

The water needles between his hands also dissipated along with the chakra.

"Where are you from, little guy? Where's the slug?"

Hashirama smiled warmly, but Kozang didn't dare to act rashly.

Gu Zang looked at Tobirama's retracted hand in fear. He had been able to get out of the Wet Bone Forest and thought he could become invincible with the help of the system. However, he didn't expect that the Naruto plot had not yet begun and these two old guys were still alive.

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all.

"Actually, it's not impossible for me to be a slug. That old lady... the slug fairy is female, and I'm male..."

Hashirama looked at Kozo, then at Tobirama, and laughed.

"Does this little guy think I'm stupid? Tobirama, do I look like a fool to you?"

"Build——"

Tobirama turned away in disgust, muttering something like "stupid brother".
