the other party’s slightly teasing tone also made the two suddenly remember their current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two finally reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two’s retreat and turning actions were not only done in one go but also had a synchronization rate of one hundred percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke endured the flutter in his heart and the previous embarrassment, forcing himself to think calmly about the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the other side, Tsunade’s expression was much more exaggerated than Mizunuki Ryosuke’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her originally somewhat pale, beautiful face was as red as an autumn tomato, and her plump, beautiful body was still trembling lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling everything that happened before, Tsunade couldn't help but cover her flushed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't get married anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade muttered to herself in her heart; the extremely rare, shy, and cute expression also made the Katsuyu Sage on the side unable to help but look sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh ho, Little Tsunade is blushing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female voice with a slightly teasing tone rang again, making Tsunade’s face even more flushed, and a trace of shyness and annoyance hidden in her emerald eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Katsuyu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade chided; the shyness in her words could be clearly heard even by Ryosuke on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the time when Katsuyu was teasing Tsunade, Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at everything around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, there had been a certain degree of display of Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave among the Three Great Sage Regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Mount Myoboku, where the Prince had once trained, left a deep impression on most people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mount Myoboku not only has the Toad Sage who can predict the future but also various kinds of rich toad summonings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And although Ryuchi Cave’s space was not obvious, according to Kabuto Yakushi’s memories, the structure of Ryuchi Cave was similar to Mount Myoboku; besides the White Snake Sage at the pinnacle, it also had various snake-type summonings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, only Shikkotsu Forest among the Three Great Sage Regions had always worn a mysterious veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why the Three Great Sage Regions have the title of \"Sage Region\" is that the Three Great Sage Regions are the only way for mortals to learn the power of \"sages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, if you want to learn Sage Art, you can only learn it through the Three Great Sage Regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the differences in the Three Great Sage Regions, the characteristics of the Sage Art displayed by the Three Great Sage Regions are also different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for where the specific differences lie, I am afraid no one can say clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, those who learned Sage Art with a mortal body (Ten-Tails Jinchuriki doesn't count) can be counted on one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are only: Jiraiya, Naruto Uzumaki, Kabuto Yakushi, and Senju Hashirama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides them, no one else has been able to successfully learn Sage Art; the difficulty of learning Sage Art can be imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among them, Naruto and Jiraiya’s Sage Art came from Mount Myoboku, Kabuto Yakushi’s Sage Art came from Ryuchi Cave, and although the original work did not explicitly state where Hashirama’s Sage Art came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from Tsunade’s summoning, one can see that Hashirama’s Sage Art source was naturally Shikkotsu Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to what Mizunuki Ryosuke knows, Shikkotsu Forest has an essential difference from the other two great Sage Regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is—the entire Shikkotsu Forest only has one summoning, and that is the Katsuyu Sage herself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on one’s own strength to be able to contend with the power of a clan of the other two great Sage Regions; what level is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Katsuyu Sage can be called the most unfathomable existence in the original work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention anything else, just out of this mystery, Ryosuke was full of curiosity about the Katsuyu Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Mizunuki Ryosuke could not judge from the surrounding environment where this was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, his heart was filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, because of war and various factors, the number of humans is actually relatively small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the ninja world has large tracts of undeveloped land, and the forests that can be called lush are even more numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these forests look unremarkable at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A big tree, how high do you think it can grow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five meters? Ten meters? Or twenty meters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if Mizunuki Ryosuke tells you that a tree can grow to a height of one hundred meters, would you believe it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the facts are placed in front of Mizunuki Ryosuke, and he cannot help but believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The term \"towering tree\" can be said to be no exaggeration here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The indescribably thick trunks pierced directly into the clouds in violation of common sense; looking up, one couldn't see the tops of these trees at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such big trees were not just one, but an entire forest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too terrifying; such a scene simply violated common sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking that this was Shikkotsu Forest, where the Katsuyu Sage lived, Mizunuki Ryosuke chose to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the surrounding environment, the Katsuyu Sage’s body was very insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of appearance, it was almost no different from the Katsuyu that Tsunade summoned earlier, just wearing a blue long coat over her fat body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also shows that the Katsuyu Sage in front of him was also just a clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps noticing Mizunuki Ryosuke’s gaze, the Katsuyu Sage turned her head and looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke, and the two tentacles that served as eyes also swayed slightly twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk, amazing, amazing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Except for that kid Hashirama, this is the first time I’ve seen a human with such talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heartfelt exclamation made by the Katsuyu Sage startled Mizunuki Ryosuke slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the unfathomable Katsuyu Sage, even he didn't know how to respond for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Katsuyu Sage praising Mizunuki Ryosuke, Tsunade restrained her shy and annoyed emotions and looked at the young man beside her with surprised eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A person like Grandpa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade muttered to herself in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the Katsuyu Sage’s words mean that the young man in front of her possessed talent comparable to the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talent of the God of Shinobi! How terrifying that must be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the look in Tsunade’s eyes toward Mizunuki Ryosuke underwent a slight change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sage, you overpraise me; what virtue or ability do I have to be on par with Lord Senju Hashirama?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head gently and did not accept the Katsuyu Sage’s praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting young man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who knew, after hearing this, the Katsuyu Sage didn't say much, just laughed once and then ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll treat your injuries first, Little Tsunade; it’s the first time I’ve seen you injured so heavily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Katsuyu Sage just blew a breath toward Tsunade in front of her, and in an instant, the originally fatal injury healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the healed wound was as smooth as new, as if she had never been injured at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sage Art!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at the means displayed by the Katsuyu Sage, and a trace of heat appeared in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1383,"2026-06-17T05:01:41.164Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2412c72616c4ca7440f73f9ee34deaf5c238f5d7566f727c1cc959b1cb29fcfc","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-178","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-176",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
