Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

There is only one slug in the Wet Bone Forest, and that is the Living Slug Immortal.

The slugs summoned by the contractors are usually split bodies of the Living Slug Sage, and the size of the summoned slugs varies depending on the amount of chakra injected by the caster.

The little slug in front of Baiyun Qingye was also part of the Slug Immortal.

He quite liked the Living Slug Fairy.

Because it always remained humble, addressing its contractors as "sir" with great politeness.

Unlike the snakes of Ryuchi Cave, which require sacrifices every time they come out to communicate with spirits, or the toads of Mount Myoboku, which are a bunch of trivial matters.

"Lord Aoba, I sense that you are thinking of something very rude."

The cool and elegant voice of the mature woman rang out again; it was clearly a question, yet it remained gentle.

"no!"

Baiyun Qingye immediately denied it, and then asked curiously.

"How did Lord Live Slug know my name?"

The spirit scroll contained a section about the Wet Bone Forest, which is how he learned the name of the Living Slug Sage.

“I sensed it when Lord Aoba signed his name on the summoning scroll.”

"Lady Tsunade."

The slug noticed Tsunade beside her and politely greeted her.

"Live slug!"

Tsunade responded politely in return, then looked at Shirakumo Aoba and offered an explanation.

“He is my disciple, so I had him sign a contract with Shikubun and then tried to communicate with spirits. I didn’t expect it to succeed on the first try.”

"I see. Lord Aoba's talent is indeed the best I have ever seen in my life."

When it first came out and realized it was a small child, it was also taken aback for a moment.

This is the first time I've encountered such a young contractor.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Livebear."

Although Baiyun Qingye's expression didn't change much, she was still somewhat happy inside.

The Living Slug Immortal has lived for at least a thousand years, if not several thousand. The other party's statement that he had never seen anything like it before might have been an exaggeration, but it still made one feel a sense of comfort.

This is the sophistication of the world.

"Is there anything I can help you with now?"

The live slug asked another question.

"Could you treat Jingyin?"

Tsunade spoke first, looking at Shizune, who had a bump on her head and was still unconscious.

If I don't get it treated, I'll probably have a headache tomorrow.

This is a good opportunity to show Baiyun Qingye the slug's healing abilities.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

After agreeing, the slug crawled toward Shizune.

But this speed... is a little...

Baiyun Qingye bent down, picked up the little slug, and placed it on Jingyin's head.

"Thank you very much, Lord Aoba."

"It's what I should do."

After placing the slug in its place, Baiyun Qingye began to observe it carefully.

The live slug simply perched on Silent's head, and the large bump visibly disappeared.

Soon, Jingyin slowly opened her eyes.

"Uh... what happened?"

Shizune, who had just woken up, was not clear about what had happened. She only felt that her head was a little heavy, as if there was something on her head.

She instinctively picked up the little slug from above her head.

I was momentarily stunned.

"Master Shizune."

The slug politely greeted Shizune again.

"This... Lord Live Slug, who summoned you through spirit communication?"

The silent voice was filled with doubt. Lady Tsunade is currently suffering from hemophobia, so she cannot perform summoning jutsu alone.

Could it be...?

Shizune looked at Baiyun Qingye with surprise.

"Aoba, is that you?"

Bai Yun Qingye smiled and nodded, saying, "Sister Jingyin, I have mastered the art of spirit communication."

"That's amazing!"

Shizune was initially happy for Baiyun Qingye, but soon became somewhat melancholy.

She's truly useless now.

Looking at Shizune, whose face was written with all her emotions—both joy and melancholy—Baiyun Qingye had no idea what she was thinking.

I can only look at the little slug for now.

"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Live Slug."

"This is what I should do."

The live slug, still in a gentle tone, added another sentence.

"Lord Aoba, you can just call me Live Slug from now on."

"Yes, Lord Livebear."

"..."

Did it mishear?

"Is there anything else I can help you with, Lord Aoba?"

Baiyun Qingye looked at Tsunade, and seeing that Tsunade shook her head, she then spoke.

"Nothing."

"Alright, I'll be leaving now. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future, Lord Aoba."

After a gentle farewell, the slug disappeared into the smoke.

The slug's personality is probably the most easy to get along with among the ninjas, and it will basically fulfill any request from its contractor.

It's so much better than toads and snakes.

"I never expected that Aoba would be able to communicate with Lord Minami in just one night."

Jingyin sighed with emotion, realizing that it had taken her quite some time to practice before she was able to successfully summon the Living Slug.

"Just lucky."

"..."

Jingyin walked to Baiyun Qingye's side, stretched out her wicked hands, and pinched her face and patted her head.

Baiyun Qingye noticed that, among everyone, Jingyin patted his head the most.

"Aoba, sometimes being too modest can backfire!"

After venting her frustrations, Shizune cupped Baiyun Qingye's face and spoke earnestly.

"I understand, I won't do it again next time."

Baiyun Qingye gave a somewhat incoherent answer.

Shizune nodded in satisfaction, her face slightly flushed as she released her grip and sat down on the sofa opposite Tsunade.

It seems he doesn't dare sit next to Tsunade.

Hmph, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

Bai Yunqingye couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Once he gets hard, he'll definitely be in for a world of hurt."

"Alright, kid, now that you can summon live slugs, I'll tell you about some of the special features of live slugs."

Tsunade, unusually, entered teacher mode.

Shirokumo Aoba also became serious, but because his seat was taken by Shizune, he could only sit next to Tsunade.

"As you already know, there is only one slug in the entire Wet Bone Forest: the Living Slug Sage. What we usually summon through spirits are the Living Slug Sage's clones."

"Although the Living Slug Sage can split into countless parts, they can still communicate with each other. Therefore, this characteristic can be used for visual sharing, chakra transfer, and information transmission."

"At the same time, we can also use the split body of the Living Slug Sage to perform reverse summoning, thereby achieving the effect of rapid transfer in the ninja world."

"While under the influence of the Yin Seal, one can utilize the slug's split bodies to perform remote treatment, and even large-scale treatment."

It can be said that the live slug is the strongest summoning beast for medical ninjas. It is fully functional, not only able to quickly transmit information, but also has the function of a mini Flying Thunder God.

While others are marked with the Flying Thunder God symbol, she just throws out a slug.

However, Reverse Summoning requires a certain casting time, which is fine for escaping, but not so good for combat.

Shirokumo Aoba then thought of another ability that Tsunade had mentioned.

"Teacher, when can I learn the Yin Seal?"
