to the SlugAI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-liteTsunade walked a few steps quickly, arriving rapidly in front of Sage Katsuyu. She said, "That's not flattery; these are my honest words. However, there is actually something I need to trouble you with today. I've brought two brats over and I want you to teach them Sage Arts."Sage Katsuyu looked at the two of them and immediately spotted the issue. It spoke, "Oh? One is from the Uchiha Clan, and while the other isn't, he still possesses the Sharingan. Little Tsunade, where did you get these two little brats from?""These two are the descendants of old friends. I was entrusted to take care of them, which is why I brought them to find you. I hope the Sage will not blame me," Tsunade replied respectfully.Sage Katsuyu twisted its massive body and then said, "That's no problem. The grievances between me and the Uchiha Clan happened so long ago that I can no longer remember them. Naturally, I wouldn't take it out on a junior.""However, while I agree to teach them Sage Arts, I cannot guarantee that they will be able to learn it. After all, this kind of thing ultimately depends on personal aptitude.""How about this: leave the two of them here first! I will take them to train for a period of time, and I will send them back when the time comes."Upon hearing this, Tsunade thanked Sage Katsuyurepeatedly. Afterward, she walked over to Narutoand Sasuke, placed her hands on their shoulders, and said earnestly, "This is all I can do. Everything from here on out will depend on you two."After Tsunade left, two slugs the size of arms split off from Sage Katsuyu's body and slowly crawled to the feet of the two boys.Sage Katsuyu said, "The two of you, eat these! They will be of great help in your comprehension of Sage Arts. Even if you are eventually deemed unsuitable for learning my Sage Arts, there will still be immense benefits."Looking at the two slugs at their feet, both boys wore expressions of difficulty and swallowed hard. They stood there, motionless for a long time. Perhaps the two slugs grew impatient, as they actually started crawling up their pant legs on their own. Sage Katsuyu was not in a rush and did not urge them, simply watching the two of them quietly.Finally, Naruto took the lead. He grabbed the slug that had just crawled up to the base of his thigh, gave Sasuke a resolute look, and said, "Sasuke, I know this is difficult, but we are doing this to gain greater power. This is nothing, right?""Come on! Sasuke, I'll give you a hand."Having said that, Naruto took advantage of the other's distraction, swept his legs to knock him down, and then pressed his entire body onto Sasuke. He pinned Sasuke's hands with his own legs, pinched his face with one hand to pry his mouth open, and used his other hand to shove the slug directly into his mouth.Although Sasuke struggled desperately, the gap in strength between them was still too large. His efforts were futile, and instead, it gave rise to a strange sense of excitement in Naruto.As the slug was slowly stuffed into his mouth, tears of regret and humiliation streamed from the corners of Sasuke's eyes. Seeing this, although Naruto felt a bit of reluctance, he had to harden his heart and continue pushing it in with force to help Sasuke break through this psychological barrier.Finally, the large slug was completely shoved inside. Due to using a bit too much force, Narutocollapsed to the side, drenched in sweat, and at this moment, he felt like having a cigarette.As for the liberated Sasuke, he was in an even worse state. He remained in the same position, turning his head to the other side, with tears continuously flowing from his eyes, looking as if he had suffered a great insult.Naruto saw this situation and felt a bit embarrassed. He asked tentatively, "Sorry, Sasuke, was I too rough just now? Don't be sad, I'll definitely be careful next time.""But I'm doing this for your own good. Based on my understanding of you, it would be very difficult for you to complete this step on your own. If you're still angry, how about you feed me in the same way?"However, after Naruto said a whole bunch of nice words, Sasuke ignored him, which made Narutofeel a bit annoyed. "It's just eating a slug, right? Why put on such a 'ravaged' look? I've apologized so humbly and you still won't talk to me? Fine, let's see how long you can hold out."Thinking of this, Naruto deliberately muttered to himself, "Could there be some side effect after eating the slug? Or is one not enough? If so, I'll just feed him the one that was supposed to be mine!"Saying this, Naruto picked up the remaining slug and made a move to continue stuffing it into Sasuke's mouth. This scared Sasuke out of his wits; he quickly got up, eyes wide, and glared furiously at Naruto.It was obvious that Sasuke regretted not agreeing immediately when Naruto asked to be fed earlier. But before he could speak, Naruto smiled and said, "Hehe, you're okay now! Then I won't give this one to you; I'll eat it myself!"After saying that, Naruto shoved the slug in his hand directly into his mouth and swallowed it raw in a few quick gulps. Fortunately, Naruto had a rubber body, so he didn't have to suffer like Sasuke.Naruto held his breath and shoved the entire slug in at once. His throat visibly thickened, and finally, with a push, he easily finished off the large slug.Then, ignoring Sasuke, who was still staring at him with a murderous look, he immediately turned to Sage Katsuyu and said, "Sage Katsuyu, we brothers have finished eating. What should we do next?"Sage Katsuyu slightly raised its eyelids and asked, "Then tell me, what did you feel after eating it? Be detailed, otherwise, it will be hard for me to judge. That kid from the Uchiha Clan, you go first!"Upon hearing this, Sasuke closed his eyes. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that this so-called Sage in front of him was quite unfriendly toward him. It had clearly seen the whole process; it was one thing not to stop it, but to make him recount it afterward—wasn't this just rubbing salt in his wounds?The most critical thing was, why did it make him speak first? Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, in order to increase his strength, Sasuke could only endure it for the time being.He lowered his arrogant head and, in a voice like a mosquito's buzz, spoke with difficulty: "It was thick, large, and it made my throat hurt. My mouth doesn't feel very comfortable either; it's slimy and has a fishy taste. Plus, my hands hurt a lot!"As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, Narutoimmediately added, "Except for my throat and hands not hurting, the other feelings are about the same as Sasuke's."
