Konoha: From being adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 156 Cooperation with Orochimaru

"are you awake?"

Natsume pushed the door open with a bowl of porridge in his hand.

Uchiha Mikoto, who was in a daze, suddenly became agitated, and quickly pulled up the sheet to cover her body.

Deception ah.

Natsume smiled, put the porridge on the table, and said, "Get up and eat."

Smelling the aroma, Uchiha Mikoto's stomach groaned.

She immediately blushed in embarrassment.

She didn't eat last night, didn't eat again today, and consumed so much energy, she was already starving.

I was focusing on the kaleidoscope Sharingan before, and temporarily forgot about it.

"You... you go out first."

Uchiha Mikoto's tone sounded rather weak.

It's the kind of feeling that there is no threat, but you have to ask for help.

Natsume stepped forward.

"Let... let me go."

Uchiha Mikoto backed away immediately, and when she reached the corner, there was no way to retreat, only to reveal her pitiful appearance.

"Your words are a question of my character."

Natsume stretched out his hand, pinched her chin, looked around, and asked, "Who threatened whom last night? Have you forgotten?"

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned.

It seems that she did take the initiative.

"I... I... that's..."

She hesitated, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Because of being reminded of what happened last night, her face turned pink from the bottom of her ears.

"I'm sorry... I'm... guilty."

Uchiha Mikoto apologized in a panic.

"If you're guilty, put on new clothes."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Natsume took out a set of black nun clothes and said, "It can relieve your sense of guilt."

He stopped teasing her, turned and left, and closed the door.

Uchiha Mikoto looked at the nun's clothes in confusion, but finally did not refuse.

Her face was reddish, and she turned around a little unaccustomed.

Mainly wearing black suspenders for the first time.

The rest was fine.

Uchiha Mikoto subconsciously glanced outside the door, Natsume seemed to have left.

She picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip.

The taste is surprisingly good.

It can be said to be the same as the white porridge I ate last night.

Natsume went to say hello to Uzumaki Ena, and then returned to the room.

Uchiha Mikoto ate all the porridge.

Lips are shiny and hydrated, not as dry as they were last night.

Natsume glanced at the black nun's dress that wrapped her delicate body. It was very bumpy and even better than expected.

"Do you still want it?"

He pointed to the bowl and said, "If you're not full, there's more."

Uchiha Mikoto put her hands on her lower abdomen and nodded embarrassedly.

Natsume immediately gave her two more bowls.

"That... I want to ask."

Uchiha Mikoto licked her lips, swallowed the porridge, and asked, "Why didn't I open the Kaleidoscope Sharingan last night?"

"How can it be so simple?"

Natsume blinked, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "It's okay, the future will be long, and one day I will open my eyes."

"..."

Uchiha Mikoto's body stiffened immediately.

She had used up all her courage last night.

I thought the torture would be over quickly, but I didn't expect it was just the beginning.

"There is nothing free in this world."

Natsume reached out, rubbed her head, and said, "So work hard, Aunt Mikoto."

Uchiha Mikoto hesitated to speak, her rosy lips parted slightly, and she continued to drink porridge without answering in the end.

"You can go to Hui Nai in the future and let her help you train your pupil power."

Natsume got up and said, "Your pupil power has been forcibly improved now, but it's not very good for you."

"Ah."

Uchiha Mikoto nodded.

She didn't quite understand, anyway, what Natsume said and how she did it.

"Remember to return the flute to Tayuya."

Natsume smiled and said, "It's been so long, she's very angry, don't tell her the specific purpose."

Uchiha Mikoto was as popular as Steam Princess.

No place to be self-contained.

Looking for a hole to dig into.

Natsume didn't stay any longer, and the Hiraishen technique was performed, and he returned home.

He changed into a clean set of clothes and headed to the Hokage Building.

Today is his first day at work after becoming the assistant of Hokage.

But he was already late all morning.

Thanks to Shimura Danzo's previous example, he doesn't come to the Hokage Building all year round, and when he comes, he quarrels with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Everyone is used to it.

Now that there is a new Naruto assistant, being late for work is such a trivial matter that it is not worth making a fuss about.

Natsume entered his office.

After yesterday's cleaning, it looks like that's the case.

He got to work.

Although I don't know how Shimura Danzo works, he has been clearly arranged by Tsunade.

That is the so-called decision-making power.

The matter after the preliminary handling by the Naruto Secretary Group will be handed over to him for decision.

In the past this was the job of Hokage and Hokage consultants.

But now that the two Hokage advisors are dead, Tsunade is the only one left.

If it was Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would definitely not share his power.

Tsunade and Natsume are indistinguishable from each other, and they don't see each other that much.

Because of the assistance of the Naruto Secretary Group, it is actually not as busy as imagined.

There is only one thing Natsume has to do, stamping.

Cover those who agree, hit back those who disagree.

His efficiency is extremely fast, and it was all done in less than an hour.

"Send the file to the teacher."

Natsume put down the seal and opened his mouth to give orders.

An Anbu ninja immediately appeared and took the file away.

After nothing happened for a while, Natsume planned to visit Orochimaru.

This time in the capacity of Konoha Hokage's assistant.

He had previously discussed with Tsunade about the study of Mutun.

But this kind of experiment, ordinary people really can't handle it.

Without a leader, I am afraid there will be no results for decades.

For the whole Konoha, the most suitable one is Orochimaru.

His scientific research ability has been tested countless times and is trustworthy.

This investigation of Shimura Danzo also involved Orochimaru.

According to the rules of Muye Village, he can already be sent to the Pure Land to meet the Immortals of the Six Paths.

But his status is special, and his influence is also great.

The most important thing is that Tsunade can't do anything.

Sannin fought side by side from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship is pretty good.

It's not a big problem not to kill Orochimaru, but letting him enjoy Konoha's resources for nothing is not okay.

In the past, Natsume didn't care because Hokage was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Now Hokage is Tsunade and belongs to his family.

In other words, Orochimaru eats and drinks for free at his house.

What Natsume hates the most is being prostituted for nothing.

This is absolutely intolerable.

Orochimaru must work hard.

Natsume left the Hokage Building and went to Orochimaru's compound.

When he reached the door, he already felt a lot of peeping eyes.

It is the snake of Ryuji Cave.

"Go and tell Oshemaru-sama that Assistant Hokage Natsume wants to see him."

Natsume said casually and entered the hall.

Unexpectedly, there were unexpected people.

Mitre wash red beans.

She was holding six strings of three-color balls in both hands, and when she saw Natsume, she was chewing, her cheeks bulging.

"Natsume?"

She quickly swallowed the meatballs in her mouth, greeted with a smile, "It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"It's been a long time."

Natsume nodded, "The last time was three or four years ago, we formed a team together to carry out the task of going deep into the cloud ninja camp."

"Do you eat?"

Mitarai Anzuki took out a bunch of three-color balls and asked.

"Need not."

Natsume waved his hand and reminded, "Eating more will make you gain weight."

"It's okay, I'm not fat."

Mitarai Red Bean showed a confident smile and said, "I eat it every year, but I have always maintained my weight."

Natsume thought to himself that this was clearly the effect of the curse seal.

When Orochimaru runs away with a bucket one day, you will be done.

"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the assistant of Hokage."

Mitarai Anko said excitedly, "In the future, if I make a mistake, remember to cover me."

"Your teacher is Oshemaru-sama, he won't let anything happen to you."

Natsume paused and said, "However, it's okay to cover you."

Although Orochimaru is cold, cunning and unkind, he is still a good teacher.

For rope tree and mitarai red beans are really good.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, he didn't train him as an apprentice, but a container.

"Great!"

Mitarai Anzuki burst into laughter.

"Are you waiting for Oshemaru-sama?"

Although Natsume's position is higher than Orochimaru's, his seniority is a little bit behind, so he added a respectful title in front of outsiders.

"Well. But the teacher has something to do, I don't know when he will come over."

Mitarai Anko's smile was a bit dim, and she said, "I haven't seen Sensei for a long time, he's been very busy recently."

Busy is an excuse.

Natsume can probably understand what Orochimaru thinks.

The main reason is that Mitarai Anko, an apprentice, really doesn't match him.

Neither talent nor character was to his liking.

But he did have a mentoring relationship with her.

"Where's Xiyan?"

Natsume thought of her two teammates.

Uchiha Itachi has defected, but Uzuki Yugao has not.

"I don't know."

The expression on Mitarai Anko's face froze slightly.

She really didn't know what Uzuki Xiyan was doing, but she knew that she was always by Dashemaru's side.

It's really enviable.

Mitarai Red Bean was rather unwilling.

She is obviously the first apprentice of Orochimaru now.

Why is it not treated as it should be?

At this moment, she showed a surprised expression as if changing her face.

"Teacher, are you back?"

"Ah."

Orochimaru's eyes fell on Natsume, and he didn't care about Mitarai Anko.

"I heard that you learned the fairy mode of the Wetbone Forest?"

Mitarai Anko's smile suddenly froze.

Woooooo, teacher, look at me.

"lucky."

Natsume gave her a comforting look before answering Orochimaru's question.

"It's no fluke to learn the immortal mode."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, obviously interested.

Because there are currently only two people in the ninja world who can be in the fairy mode.

Aside from the mysterious masked man he met before, there are only Jiraiya and Natsume.

The former's Rishi mode isn't complete yet.

Although Orochimaru has developed the Heaven and Earth Curse Seal, there is still a gap compared with the Immortal mode.

If Natsume could let him do research, maybe he could have a different harvest.

"..."

Natsume could already clearly feel Orochimaru's gaze.

It's as if a jerk saw the real Gundam.

excited.

"Master Oshemaru, I came here today and I have something to look for you."

Natsume changed the subject and got down to business.

"What is it?"

Orochimaru smiled indifferently.

Just a cold smile.

But he didn't intend to attack Natsume.

One is that it is not easy to fight.

The second is to offend Tsunade.

Unless he is absolutely sure, otherwise, he has no thoughts for the time being.

"Hongdou, please leave first."

Natsume turned her head and said, "This is a secret related to Konoha."

Mitarai Anko was stunned for a moment, with a slightly aggrieved expression on her face, but she didn't say anything.

She is a ninja, so naturally she has to obey orders.

The current Natsume is no longer the original junior, but the assistant of Hokage.

After Mitarai Anko left, the breath on Orochimaru became a little colder.

It had to be said that he valued this apprentice quite a lot.

"Master Orochimaru, I hope you can preside over the wooden escape experiment."

Natsume said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Didn't Konoha already have intercolumn cell transplantation technology?"

Orochimaru frowned and asked.

"The teacher is not willing to transplant, what she wants is awakening."

Xia Mu explained.

"Wake up?"

Orochimaru sneered, and said, "Has Tsunade become naive after becoming Hokage?"

"no way?"

Natsume asked back.

"No way."

Orochimaru didn't explain, and issued an order to evict the guest, "Go back and tell Tsunade, don't waste my time."

"As long as the probability is not zero, it is naturally possible."

Natsume smiled and said, "Oshemaru-sama, we have already known about your cooperation with Shimura Danzo."

"Do you threaten me?"

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, and the majestic murderous aura had filled the entire hall.

"It's cooperation."

Natsume said with a normal expression, "Your experiment cannot be seen in the light, and someone needs to help you cover it up and provide resources."

"interesting."

Orochimaru suddenly laughed and asked, "It seems that Tsunade doesn't know what you're doing behind the scenes."

Another Shimura Danzo.

It's not impossible to cooperate.

There are some things that he really can't deal with.

"As a condition, you can no longer attack the ninjas and villagers of Konoha Village."

Natsume added, "But I can provide you with prisoners from Konoha Prison."

"so be it."

Orochimaru was reluctant to give up Konoha for the time being, so he didn't refuse.

As for the so-called Konoha Awakening experiment, just perfunctory.

Anyway, it is normal for this kind of major research to have no results after several years of hard work.

"In order to ensure cooperation, I hope to send someone to study with you, what do you think?"

Natsume thought of Yaoshidou on the spur of the moment.

how to say?

His best teacher is naturally Orochimaru.

It would be best if Yaoshidou could learn something.

If you can't learn it, you can only take other ways.

Such as Huang Quanjin or other gods.

Orochimaru nodded, not paying attention at all.

"Pleasant to work with."

Natsume bowed slightly, turned and left.

"teacher."

Mitarai Adzuki who was outside the door immediately ran into the hall.

"Are you okay?"

Orochimaru glanced at her and said, "Go back if you have nothing to do."

"Teacher, this is the three-color meatball I bought for you."

Mitarai Anzuki handed him the remaining five strings of three-color balls.

Orochimaru was silent for two seconds, stretched out his slender tongue, and swallowed it even with the wooden stick.

Although it was scary, Mitarai Anko still showed a happy expression.

Konoha Orphanage.

Pharmacist Dou didn't do any experiments today.

Because he got stuck.

As the things Natsume gave him became more and more complicated, his knowledge reserve was obviously not enough.

Although he has already obtained a lot of technology from Orochimaru, things on paper are dead after all.

A pharmacist is smart if he thinks about it, but it is impossible to learn without a teacher.

Tsunade is indeed a good teacher.

However, there are specializations in the art industry.

She and Orochimaru are different in many ways.

"pocket."

Natsume climbed onto the roof and sat next to him.

"Where are my men?"

Yao Shidou glanced at him and said, "Just one Honoko is not enough."

It is worth mentioning that Honoka has a good level of scientific research.

It's just one person, it can't be used as two people.

There are two main projects he is currently working on.

One, the ancestral Datongmu Chakra.

Second, Kaguya-kun Maro's blood-stained disease.

None are easy.

"Don't mention the words of your subordinates."

Natsume laughed, and quickly changed the subject, "I found you a teacher, Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru?"

Pharmacist showed surprise and asked, "How could he agree?"

"Actually, I didn't agree."

Natsume briefly talked about his cooperation with Orochimaru, "Anyway, you should try to learn as much as possible."

If it doesn't work, use a kaleidoscope to write sharing eyes, lock him in a small black room, and let him out after teaching everything.

"Ah."

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses, a trace of excitement flashed across his face.

It is naturally a good thing to see the technology of Orochimaru.

"come on."

Natsume patted him on the shoulder and said, "After a while, I'll give you something nice."

He was talking about Shennong.

Whether it is his medical forbidden technique or his knowledge, they are all good things.

It should be able to help the pharmacist.

As for safety issues, Natsume doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

He left behind a token exchanged with destiny value, and if something happens, he can arrive in time.

In addition, there is the question of Yao Shidou's loyalty.

how to say?

Although Orochimaru is indeed attractive, it does not reach the level of a succubus.

And Natsume can pass the Holy Ring of Fate verification.

[Because of your behavior, the fate of Yao Shidou has changed, and you have gained 37 points of fate. 】

After returning to the Hokage Building, Natsume heard the beep.

As he expected, the fate value is not particularly high.

This also means that Yao Shidou did not rebel.

He just learned knowledge from Orochimaru.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Natsume put down the documents and looked up.

It was Kureni Yuhi who came in, wearing the red robe that seemed to be wrapped in bandages.

"Master Natsume."

After bowing slightly, she said, "Master Hokage wants to see you."

"Sister Hong, you're welcome, just call me Natsume."

Natsume was a little unaccustomed to this title.

He called Sister Hong because Yuhihong and Shizune were of the same generation.

If you call auntie, it seems too much.

After all, she is not married yet.

"If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Yu Hihong showed a smile on her originally serious face, and said, "But the premise is that there is no third person present."

She is a more disciplined ninja.

Shouting in private is not a big problem.

But if it is known, some unnecessary troubles may arise.

The Yuhi family is just a small ninja clan.

Don't get too carried away.

"can."

Natsume stood up with a smile and said, "Then I'll go see the teacher first."

　Five thousand words.
