For a moment, Senju Hashirama was looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart——

Anyway, let's play some role.

At least, don't let all Tobirama's efforts and the girl's little joy be completely in vain.

However, his intuition is really too keen, so the result is not what he expected...

Exactly the same.

"Hashirama-sama's biggest problem is not his injuries, but the loss of his vitality." The blue-and-white slug whispered softly in a voice that could almost be described as "clear", "I can heal the injuries suffered by humans.

But it cannot make up for the overdrawn vitality. Sorry, Hashirama-sama, there is nothing I can do about your situation."

Unlike the eponymous toads and snakes, there has always been only one slug in the Shifty Bone Forest - the Slug Immortal. And the contractor can summon a part of it based on the amount of his own chakra, but no one has ever summoned it

There has been a complete Slug Immortal.

At this moment, the seriously injured Senju Hashirama, despite deliberately concentrating most of his chakra, still summoned a slug as big as the entire yard.

But even so, it can only describe the current situation of the contractor as "helpless".

"Soga..." Senju Hashirama, who had been mentally prepared for this, smiled generously, "Well, I understand, thank you for your hard work, slug."

"You're welcome." Slug replied softly, "Also, it's an honor to sign a contract with you. If Lord Hashirama and your relatives and disciples meet the criteria for summoning me, I will also be willing to sign a contract with them and provide them with

Healing help." It said while looking sideways at Senju Tobirama and a certain girl.

After the latter was stunned for a moment, he murmured: "Noto..."

Slug: "?"

"...Is your name 'Noto'?" the girl suddenly asked. For some reason, she always felt that was the case.

"Hey?" Slug was stunned for a moment and then replied, "...No, because there has always been only me in Shigulin, my name is just 'Slug'." It continued with a good temper, "Of course.

, if you want to use this name as a code name to call me, that’s fine too.”

"Yes...really..." The girl scratched her hair.

Senju Hashirama looked at the two people next to him with a smile: "Are you interested in signing a contract with Slug?" It is impossible not to meet the standards.

"...I'll forget it for now." Qianju Tojian thought for a while and shook his head, "Xing, what about you?"

"I'll forget about it for now." The girl thought for a while, shook her head, and said by the way, "However, Sachiko and the others are medical ninjas, so they are quite suitable."

Senju Tobirama asked: "So, Slug, do you have any objection to leaving your contract scroll at Senju's house for the time being?"

"No." Slug replied in a good tone, "The contract is fate, living abroad is fate, staying in Thousand Hands is also fate, just follow the fate."

Afterwards, the Senju family discussed it for a while.

In the end, the couple Sachiko Senju and Marri Kitahara signed a contract with Slug. The couple originally worked at Konoha Hospital and were both excellent medical ninjas. With Slug's assistance, they would get twice the result with half the effort.

In all fairness, even if the others sign the contract, it will only be beneficial and harmless. However, they are not greedy people themselves, and they also respect the Slug Immortal's statement about "fate". Since there is no need for the time being, then there is no need.

Destiny, why should we forcefully occupy a contract quota?

Maybe one day, there will be people who need this more.

The ninja beast slug was also welcomed by Senju's family because of its good temper. After seeking the other party's consent, several slugs were stationed at Senju's house from time to time. Because of their small size, even if they use chakra for daily maintenance

It doesn't take much effort. After all, its contractor is a member of the Senju family, a natural "chakra monster".

For the daily health of his wife, Senju Noriko, Senjuwa specially invited one and respectfully carried it back to his yard, asking it to help take care of his wife who was raising her baby alone at home.

Noriko Senju also really likes slugs, so she specially made a cute little pink hat for the one that lives beside her every day.

Nothing to do at home in winter.

She made all kinds of little clothes for her unborn child at home.

The palm-sized slugs lay in small baskets filled with fabric.

Then one person and one animal chatted wordlessly.

"By the way, Slug, Xing said that this child will be a girl~"

"Well, she will definitely be a very cute and healthy girl."

"Really? That's great. By the way, this child's name is 'Tsunade'."

"What a great name."

"Right, when this child grows up, he might also sign a contract with you~"

"Well, I and we are all looking forward to it."

The tentacles on the top of the slug's head moved, and its eyes looked at Senju Noriko's belly tenderly——

Tsunade...?

It's indeed a nice name.

Therefore, little Tsunade-hime may have booked a "playmate" and future contract partner before she was born~

By the way, Kyuubi has a pretty good relationship with the slug, and even allows one of them to lie on his shoulder every day. Don't ask, it just reminds me of a guy who didn't live up to expectations, but the rhinoceros guy is covered in acid.

This slug is much better. Look at it, it’s pretty, has a gentle personality, and speaks nicely. Rhinoceros, you lose, Rhinoceros!

There is no doubt that the arrival of the Ninja Beast Slug has added "little joy" to the Senju family as the New Year is approaching.

However, for Senju Tobirama, the most fundamental problem has still not been solved——

The ninja beast Slug, who he had placed more or less hope on, could not pull his eldest brother back from the edge of death. So...

Although he actually expected such a result. However, when this hope was really shattered before his eyes, it still made him feel a little depressed. If he tried very hard not to show this emotion at home, then

, more or less in the office...

"turn down."

"Not approved."

"Can't you do this little thing well?"

"There is a problem with the amount calculation, what's the matter? Do you want to work overtime and redo it in the new year?"

…

He did not deliberately seek trouble, and the handling process was the same as usual, but his demeanor and tone changed somewhat, so that many people who came to report on the work were a little trembling.

Of course, when a girl goes to work with him, he will pay more attention to avoid scaring others. Therefore, during this period of time recently, everyone hopes that the little girl can come to work... Look, it's almost the Chinese New Year.

Everyone hopes to maintain a relaxed and happy work rhythm every day...

"Master Xing, will you come again tomorrow?"

"Master Xing, see you tomorrow."

"Master Xing, will you come over tomorrow?"

…

Unknowingly, everyone turned this expectation into words.

Girl: "???" Maomao scratched her head - is she so popular?

Finally, I couldn't help but investigate a little, and found out the reason.

Then, she sighed quietly, because... She could completely understand Master Tobirama's mood. Even she felt lost, let alone Master Tobirama? His feelings would only be doubled or tripled or even

More?

However, there is always a way, there must be a way!

She will also work very hard with Tobirama-sama to find a way to save Hashirama-sama, so before that, she has to find a way to make Tobirama-sama feel better~

Well, so, what to do?

After much thought, she decided to ask others for help.

The first thing that came to mind was Lord Hashirama, but then she felt that it was not possible. Because if Lord Hashirama knew the reason why Lord Tobirama was lost, he would feel uncomfortable, right? Then who should he turn to?

"Ah!" The girl's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands vigorously, "Yes!"

So...

It's approaching noon.

Senju Tobirama smiled and asked the girl occupying a corner of his table: "Hoshi, what do you want to eat this afternoon?"

This old man has completely forgotten about keeping a distance and letting her have more private space. On the days when they went to work together, unless he was really busy in the afternoon and couldn't get away, he would definitely spend time with his beloved little girl.

Eat together.

He doesn't like eating out, very much.

However, if he is with the right person, he feels that he can like him.

So during this period of time, he had accompanied her to taste all kinds of well-received delicacies in Konoha, and he seriously felt that he could continue. Although many of the foods seemed to him to be unworthy of their reputation, she looked satisfied.

The way Xiang Tian eats is so cute, it is enough to offset all the shortcomings.

"Ah, I'm sorry." The girl raised her hand in a gesture of rejection, "Tobirama-sama, you can eat by yourself this afternoon, I have an appointment."
