Slugs' offensive abilities involves shooting acid from their mouths, similar to the way [[toads]] use oil. For defending others, the slugs have the ability to encapsulate themselves around an individual's entire body. This essentially makes them a big cushion for the person inside, protecting the person from physical collisions. Slugs have also been shown to be able to divide themselves into many smaller replicas, though this ability may be unique to Katsuyu due to its size. Katsuyu can also absorb chakra from its summoner and even control it to some extent, as shown when Tsunade [[Remote Healing|transferred]] her own chakra to Katsuyu in order to heal the citizens of [[Konoha]] when [[Pain]] [[Invasion of Pain|attacked]].

Also known as {{Translation|''Konoha's Slug Princess Tsunade''|木ノ葉のナメクジ綱手姫|Konoha no Namekuji Tsunade-hime}}, Tsunade signed a contract with these slugs at a very young age. As she got older, she became more renown until she became synonymous with her summons, hence the moniker. She made use of them during the [[Second Shinobi World War]], most noticeably against [[Hanzō]] the Salamander and then later after the start of the series against [[Orochimaru]] during the battle of the Sannin. Her most notable use of slugs was during the [[Invasion of Pain]], where she summoned Katsuyu and had the slug attach itself to every member of the village so that she could [[Remote Healing|heal and monitor]] them. It was because of this that the members of the village survived the attack on the village and the number of casualties was kept at a minimum. More recently, she has summoned Katsuyu once again to act as a mediator, relaying information to and from the headquarters of the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]] after she and [[A]] went to the battlefield.

Katsuyu Summoned

Katsuyu, the slug.

Slugs (蛞蝓, Namekuji) are the trademark summon of Tsunade - famed as Konoha's Slug Princess Tsunade (木ノ葉のナメクジ綱手姫, Konoha no Namekuji Tsunade-hime) - and her student, Sakura Haruno. The only known slug is Katsuyu an enormous creature that is summoned — in parts — from the Shikkotsu Forest.[1]

Offensively, slugs can shoot acid from their mouths. Defensively, slugs can divide themselves into many smaller replicas. The slugs can encapsulate an individual's entire body, making use of their extreme durability to protect the person inside from physical harm or in stasis to prevent loss of life.

Katsuyu can also absorb chakra from its summoner and even control it to some extent, as shown through the use of the Katsuyu: Immense Network Healing technique where the summoner can channel their chakra to Katsuyu in order to heal persons over a wide range without physically being there. Through this technique the summoner also shares a sensory link with Katsuyu and can gather a basic understanding of a persons physical status amongst other things making slugs also an excellent source for information gathering.

Trivia

  • The Six-Tails resembles a slug.
  • The acid-shooting powers are an exaggeration of real-life slugs' ability to regurgitate digestive acids in self-defence.
  • Although Katsuyu is the only slug that has been seen in the series, other slugs are shown on the cover pages of chapters 4, 153, and 162.
