Kapitel 33: Katsuyu knows too much!!!

Katsuyu touched Kazutora's face with her antennas and Kazutora felt a warm feeling entering his body.

"Mm! It's just as I thought. You really have a Natural Sage Body. I didn't expect I would see it again but yours seems to be more aligned with the world than Hashirama-Sama's."

Katsuyu said, and then she jumped on Kazutora's head.

"Tsunade-Hime, as for questions. It's just as it says. Natural Sage Body is something that can only be born by the person who is loved by the world."

"Unlike when people become stone when absorbing Natural Energy, the person who has a Natural Sage Body doesn't need to worry. When the Natural Energy in the body reaches to maximum state, the body would stop absorbing it on its own."

"In future, it is possible to replace the chakra in the body with Senjutsu Chakra, and Natural Energy. He is a born Sage, and he is currently malnourished because he has been rejecting Natural Energy subconsciously."

Katsuyu said and Tsunade rubbed her head at the words.

"Did my grandfather also have the same body?"

"No, he didn't. He had a similar body, and unlike this little guy, it would be better to say that he had artificially created a Natural Sage Body. I can guess the reason but I won't say it."

Tsunade looked at Katsuyu and seeing that she wasn't answering, she gave asking more.

"So, do you think that the reason why he awakened Wood Release is because of Natural Sage Body?" Tsunade asked and Katsuyu started to think of this. Then, she shook her head and said, "No, he didn't awaken Wood Release because of Natural Sage Body."

Tsunade sighed in relief at the words, but Katsuyu's next words stunned her.

"Instead, he created Wood Release Kekkai genkai on his own."

Kazutora froze at Katsuyu's words as he didn't think Katsuyu could know about this.

"I have seen Hashirama-Sama's Wood Release, and since I can sense chakra and natural energy better than you, I noticed the difference between the two."

"Hashirama-Sama's Kekkai Genkai was something he was born with. As for this little guy's Wood Release, instead of calling it a Kekkai Genkai, it would be better to say that his control over Water, Earth, Yang and Natural Energy is good enough to combine them together and create Wood Release."

"If this little guy can get some of Hashirama-Sama's cells or chakra, he should be able to use Hashirama-Sama's Wood Release, but it would be difficult for Hashirama-Sama to use his wood release."

"It would be better to say that his Wood Release is original Wood Release while Hashirama-Sama's Wood Release is mutated Wood Release because of the suppressive and absorbing effect it has."

Tsunade and Kazutora were too stunned by Katsuyu's words and they didn't know what to say. Kazutora stared at Tsunade and saw shock, excitement and some obsession in her eyes.

He gulped as he felt her intense stare, and Tsunade said, "So! Since he created Wood Release, is it, is it possible for me to do the same?"

Tsunade said while stuttering and even though she had given up long ago, she still sub-consciously hoped that she could use Wood Release.

Now, hearing that someone created Wood Release, Tsunade's hope was ignited and she also wanted to have Wood Release.

She didn't care about the fact that Kazutora didn't awaken Wood Release and the fact that he used this against her to pull her back to Konoha.

"I don't know," Katsuyu said while shaking her head and she continued, "It should be possible since he has developed it on his own. But, I believe it would be difficult for you."

Tsunade's expression changed at Katsuyu's words but she didn't lose her will. Since there is a way, then she just needs to keep walking on the path until she reaches her destination.

Tsunade looked at Kazutora with a burning gaze and Kazutora asked, "Wh-what is it?"

Her eyes made him scared and he didn't why but he had bad feelings about this matter. Sensing his fear, Tsunade calmed herself, and said, "Katsuyu, he is the one who made the seals. You can talk with him."

"Little guy, where is Kurenai? I need to talk about some important things with her. You can talk with Katsuyu and ask a few things from her."

"Shizune, follow me."

Tsunade said to the trio and they nodded at her words. Kazutora created a Shadow clone and looking at him, Tsunade nodded and she followed the Shadow clone with Shizune.

With the duo leaving, Kazutora started at the slug on his shoulder and asked, "Can you tell what you meant when you said that I am malnourished?"

"Mm! I can tell, but you need to tell me about the summoning technique and how you think of it." Katsuyu answered and Kazutora nodded after thinking for a moment.

Outside, Tsunade followed Kazutora's clone and reached the house. She looked at the house with a thoughtful look on her face and then entered in with Shizune.

Walking inside, Tsunade sensed a presence in the room, and she saw Kurenai sitting with a pensive look on her face.

Kurenai sensed someone coming and she looked in the direction of the gate. Her expression changed as she saw Tsunade Senju and her friend whom she hadn't seen before.

"Tsunade-Sama," Kurenai got up on her seat and she saw Tsunade waving her hand.

"Sit down, I am not here as Sannin or Jonin," Tsunade said while waving her hand, and sat down in front of Kurenai with a thoughtful look on her face. She looked at Shizune, and at Kurenai, and looking at them, she could feel the difference even though they were of the same age.

'Hmm, I guess I was wrong in assessing her. She seems responsible, and the pensive look on her face showed that she has been thinking of the matter.'

"Shizune, long time no see." Kurenai sat down and looked at Shizune, who smiled back and answered, "Yeah, it's been quite some time. You have changed a lot, Kurenai."

"Hmm, You too," Kurenai said and they both became silent because of a third party in the room. Looking at the two friends, Tsunade raised her brows and then she looked at Kazutora who also sat down.

"You can disperse yourself, I have some things that I want to talk about here, and your presence will make things difficult," Tsunade said with a serious look on her face and Kurenai flinched at the words. She was about to say something but Kazutora spoke first, "Nope, I am not leaving. If it's an important talk related to me, then I will stay here."

"Also, I won't leave this house or I should say that I won't leave my sister for anything. That's my bottom line."

Kazutora said as he looked between Tsunade and Kurenai, and he said after thinking for a moment. He could more or less understand that Tsunade wouldn't let him go, but he wouldn't leave Kurenai alone as he knew that their relationship had gotten closer and he didn't want to leave cracks in it.

Not only that, he felt bad about leaving her, and even though she wouldn't think so, Kazutora felt like he was abandoning her after she had met his goals.

Living with Tsunade at Senju Estate might have many benefits, but Kazutora didn't care about them. The only reason why he was working hard was because of his little family and the people he cared. Even though he had contradictory thoughts in his mind, Kazutora wanted to be selfish in this matter even if it might cause some problems.

Kurenai's expression changed as she heard the words, and her heart started to beat fast. She has been worried about this matter from the start and now listening to Kazutora's words, she didn't expect him to know about this.

Not only that, he said that he wouldn't leave her, and Kurenai felt like there was a lump in her throat making it impossible for them to say anything.

Tsunade looked at Kazutora who was determined and Kurenai, who felt emotional. Looking at them, she felt like she was a villainess separating the male lead and his adopted sister.

"Ughh!" Tsunade groaned while rubbing the back of her head.

"Who said that you have to leave her? Kid, why do I feel like a villain even though I am helping in this matter?" Tsunade said with a groan, and Kurenai froze at her words.

Kazutora looked at Tsunade who seemed annoyed but the slight smile on her face betrayed her thoughts. He could feel that she was satisfied with his words, and Kazutora smiled at her.

'As expected of Tsunade-hime who has broad 'heart'.'

"But, I need to live with him for some reason, and before telling you that, I want to ask, why did you not tell the village about his talent?"

Tsunade said with a sigh and then she became serious at her question. Kurenai felt pressure from Tsunade, and Kazutora was about to say something but Kurenai stopped him.

"Kazu, you can leave. This is something between me and her, and it's an important talk." Kurenai said to Kazutora with a smile on her face, and Kazutora looked at her for a moment and then he accepted her words. He dispersed himself, and looking at them, Tsunade smiled and she was relieved that Kazutora had someone he could call family.

"If the time was peaceful, maybe I would have talked with Hokage about Kazutora's talent but not now. Tsunade-Sama, you should know that minor conflicts have started at borders, and even though the Third Shinobi War ended a few years ago, the skirmish at borders hadn't stopped."

"With the Nine-Tails Incident, the conflicts at the border will increase, and if I had told them about Kazu's talent, he would have been taken away by Hokage-Sama to become a member of ANBU even if he is just six."

"I have seen Kakashi and I can say that Kazu is better than him in terms of talent and he would become an, hmm! How should I say?"

Kurenai stopped at the end with an uncertain look on her face but Tsunade completed her words.

"Excellent ninja, subordinate or it's just as you thought, a good pawn that would listen to all orders without any questions."

Tsunade said with an expressionless look on her face, and Kurenai flinched at the words. Seeing her like this, Tsunade inwardly sighed and muttered, "The village really has degraded to the point that even children wouldn't be spared. Tsk! It's all Danzo and Old Man's fault."

Tsunade murmured in a low voice, but Shizune and Kurenai heard them clearly and they shuddered as they felt chakra pressure from her.
