Chapter 82 - 82: Katsuyu's Speculation

Kazuki knew that Katsuyu's true form was massive, but upon truly seeing it, Kazuki felt that his previous understanding had been narrow. Even the current Nine-Tails probably couldn't compare to Katsuyu in terms of sheer size. Unless he activated his perfect Susanoo, it would be difficult to surpass Katsuyu in physical stature. "Slug Sage, I'll be troubling you next." Kazuki surveyed his surroundings, silently perceiving for a moment, and found that the Natural Energy within Shikkotsu Forest was almost five times that of the outside world, and Katsuyu contained a vast amount of Natural Chakra within it. Previously, Kazuki had fought One Tail in the combat arena, and he could clearly feel that the Chakra on Katsuyu's body even surpassed One Tail's. Perhaps not comparable to Nine-Tails, but the Chakra on its body already surpassed most Tailed Beasts. Truly one of the Three Great Sages. "Hmm, you should already be aware of the conditions for Sage Mode. Although your Chakra reserves can't compare to Hashirama's, you are already one of the humans with the most Chakra I've ever seen." "The key is that you're only ten years old, it's hard to imagine how much Chakra you'll have in the future." To be honest, Katsuyu was somewhat bewildered at this moment. It naturally understood Hashirama's situation. He was the reincarnation of Asura's Chakra, wasn't it reasonable for him to possess such vast Chakra? But what about Kazuki? Although his Chakra still lagged far behind Hashirama's, it was already much more than many people's, even surpassing that of ordinary Senju and Uzumaki clansmen in terms of Chakra reserves. If it were a Senju or Uzumaki, Katsuyu could still understand, but Kazuki was an Uchiha. While the Uchiha's Chakra reserves were considerably more than those of an average Ninja, they still fell a bit short when compared to the Uzumaki and Senju. Soon, it had some conjectures, could it be that Kazuki was this generation's Indra? Only an Indra reincarnation could satisfy this point, it couldn't be that Asura reincarnated into the Uchiha clan to stop Indra, could it? This made Katsuyu take him seriously. Although Indra failed when facing Asura, and Indra Chakra reincarnations have always lost to Asura Chakra reincarnations, every generation of Indra Chakra reincarnations has been one of the Ninja World's top powerhouses. Some Indra reincarnations were even stronger than Asura Chakra reincarnations, only to inexplicably fail in the end. It was impossible to say there was no trickery involved. However, now both the Senju and Uchiha are in Konoha, and Kazuki's mental state is also good. The Indra Chakra reincarnation will likely no longer oppose the Asura Chakra reincarnation, so there's no problem in investing in Kazuki. Never before has an Indra Chakra reincarnation learned Sage Mode, and Katsuyu was also very curious if Kazuki could succeed, and to what extent Sage Eyes combined with Sage Mode will reach? "Slug Sage, you flatter me." Kazuki observed Katsuyu for a long time before saying, "Compared to Slug Sage, I'm still far behind." Let's assume young Naruto, after suppressing the Nine-Tails's Chakra, could use 4 units of Chakra. If his own Chakra plus the Nine-Tails's Chakra amounted to 100 units, it meant Naruto and the Yang Nine-Tails's Chakra was 100 units, then adding the Yin Nine-Tails's Chakra, it would be at least 150 units or more. The Nine-Tails's overall Chakra reserves should be 100 units or more. During the Fourth Great Ninja War, the evil old Senju ghost once said that Naruto's Chakra combined with the Yang Nine-Tails's was equivalent to Hashirama's. Naruto grew from around 12 to 16 years old, during which his Chakra reserves would also significantly increase. In fact, until around 18 years old, Chakra reserves will see a significant increase. And a Tailed Beast like One Tail has Chakra reserves of about thirty units, which is also more than Kazuki, but not by too much. Someone like Katsuyu should have over a hundred units of Chakra. "Perhaps in the future, your Chakra reserves won't be less than mine." The antennae on Katsuyu's head twitched, and it said to Kazuki, "May I feel your Chakra?" "Oh? Please do." Kazuki placed his hand on Katsuyu's body, transferring some of his Chakra into its body. The matter of Indra Chakra would be exposed sooner or later, so it was better to be proactive. In fact, Kazuki could clearly feel that although he hadn't awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, the Indra Chakra had begun to manifest, and his ocular power was growing stronger and stronger. He just felt that the Mangekyo Sharingan was very close to him, yet also very far away. This feeling, diametrically opposed to Asura Chakra, must be Indra Chakra without a doubt. So, where is this generation's Asura reincarnation? Katsuyu's heart was filled with curiosity. Logically speaking, the Asura Chakra reincarnation should be in the Senju clan, but now the Senju clan has disbanded, with most members having integrated into Konoha. The most outstanding individuals of this generation are Tsunade and Nawaki, but they fail to meet the standards of an Asura Chakra reincarnation. Could it be other Senju clan members who integrated into Konoha, or did Asura reincarnate into the Uzumaki clan? But Uzushiogakure has already been destroyed, and the Uzumaki clan has also been scattered across the world, with some possibly having been abducted by other villages. Katsuyu has no village allegiance. Since it has already formed a contract with Kazuki, and considering Kazuki's current status, it seems it must help Kazuki get stronger. Katsuyu carefully phrased her question. "Have you noticed another special kind of Chakra within your body?" "I have a little, but it doesn't affect me much, and it's even increasing my strength." Kazuki knew that Katsuyu had noticed and didn't hide it. "Then have you found anyone similar to you in Konoha?" Indra reincarnations and Asura reincarnations generally aren't too far apart in age. If they were in Konoha, Kazuki should know them. "I haven't encountered anyone." However, Kazuki's answer disappointed Katsuyu. Perhaps the Asura reincarnation's situation wasn't very good. Fortunately, there's no need to worry about the Asura reincarnation having any strange thoughts. Instead, it's the Indra Chakra reincarnation that needs careful guidance. "Is that so? Then let's begin training Sage Mode." Katsuyu looked towards a small lake nearby.
