Chapter 70 Aftermath and Rewards (Fourth Update)

"Natsuki and Kushina, you two come with me to the Hokage's office."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "Nawaki and Minato, you two go back and continue your training."

"Yes, Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki nodded and then reached out his hand to Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki was a little embarrassed, but she still took his hand and stood up from the ground.

Minato Namikaze and Nawaki exchanged a glance unconsciously.

They all felt that Kushina Uzumaki was a complete stranger.

She's not usually like this.

Tsunade led Natsuki and Kushina Uzumaki toward the Hokage Building.

Upon arriving at the Hokage's office, she simply pushed open the door and went inside.

"It's good that you're all alright."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Kushina Uzumaki and then felt relieved.

Although theoretically Konoha doesn't lack Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki is the most talented.

Whether it's her special chakra or her exceptional ability to learn sealing techniques, she surpasses all others her age.

Her condition will be more stable when she becomes the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

No matter which ninja village it is, the biggest worry is that the Jinchuriki will go berserk.

Every time someone goes on a rampage, it inevitably causes huge losses.

Fortunately, Mito Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village, never went berserk.

"Tsunade, tell me the details."

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "This rescue operation is designated as an S-rank mission, and all participating ninjas will be rewarded according to their contributions."

Given that the candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was involved, and four Jonin from Kumogakure participated, classifying it as S-rank is perfectly reasonable.

Furthermore, if Kushina Uzumaki were to be captured and taken to Kumogakure, it would affect the relationship between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha.

"Neither I nor the Anbu could help; it was Natsuki who saved Kushina all by himself."

Tsunade smiled and recounted the rescue of Natsuki to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"This is truly an unexpected result."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised but also pleased, and said with a smile, "It seems I no longer need to worry about the future of Konoha."

This statement was quite harsh, but Tsunade didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

She had never seen a genius like Xia Mu.

In her opinion, even she, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were not as good as him when they were the same age.

"I was able to save Kushina thanks to Tsunade's shadow clones."

Xia Mu said modestly.

There's no need for such polite words.

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and asked, "What reward do you want this time?"

Xia Mu fell into thought upon hearing this.

He really didn't know what he wanted.

He hadn't even mastered the spiritification technique he was asked for last time.

There's no need to ask for another S-rank ninjutsu.

But he has no shortage of money now; it's no exaggeration to say that he's richer than Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

As for Tsunade, let's not even mention her.

Although she wasn't as addicted to gambling as she was in the original story, she would still gamble from time to time, and she lost most of her money.

"Lord Hokage."

Suddenly, a thought struck Xia Mu, and he asked, "Can I become a contractor for the ape race?"

Speaking of summoning beasts, besides the three holy lands of summoning beasts, there is another summoning beast that Orochimaru called the strongest, and that is Enma.

The power of the ape demon lies in its indestructible body and its ability to transform into the Vajra Ruyi Staff.

In the original work, Hiruzen Sarutobi wielded the Vajra Staff and achieved many glorious victories.

For example, he knocked back the Nine-Tails with a single blow.

Of course, Xia Mu was also very self-aware.

He meant becoming a contractor of the ape race, not a contractor of the ape demon.

In the original work, the Monkey King is a prefix for the Monkey Demon, and he also has a son named Monkey King.

This illustrates that this is a race of summoned beasts, not a single summoned beast.

"Your thinking is really unpredictable."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then asked with some curiosity, "You don't know staff techniques, so why do you want to become a contractor for the ape clan?"

Tsunade also looked at Natsuki.

She also didn't quite understand.

"I've heard that the ape clan is the strongest summoning beast, so I'd like to see for myself."

Xia Mu scratched his head and said, half-jokingly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not doubt it upon hearing this.

In his view, that's just how children think; they always like to be the strongest.

As for who told him, it was most likely Orochimaru.

He had said similar things before.

"You are not a ninja of the Sarutobi clan. If you want to become a contractor of the Sarutobi clan, you must obtain Enma's consent."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Tsunade and said, "You should know that even your teachers didn't gain its approval."

Xia Mu was somewhat surprised.

He had initially thought that Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru hadn't become contractors of the ape clan because they had become contractors of the three great holy lands of summoning beasts, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

I want to give it a try.

Xia Mu's ten shadow spells require ten summoned beasts.

The ape clan is also quite powerful; their indestructible bodies alone are comparable to divine weapons.

Furthermore, Natsuki suspected that the ape clan could not only transform into the Vajra Staff, but also into other ninja tools.

After all, the meaning of "Ruyi" is that it can change its form at any time.

In the original work, the Vajra Ruyi Staff can freely extend and retract, change size, and even split into multiple parts.

"Alright then."

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Come to the First Training Ground at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Xia Mu immediately responded.

"You may leave."

After the matter was settled, Hiruzen Sarutobi dismissed them.

Although Kushina Uzumaki has been rescued, as Hokage, he still has a lot to do.

For example, dealing with spies from Kumogakure.

"Come with me to see Grandma Mito."

Tsunade patted Kushina Uzumaki's head and said, "She's quite worried about you."

"Feel sorry."

Kushina Uzumaki said apologetically, "It was my carelessness."

If she could have recognized Natsuki and Minato Namikaze in disguise, she wouldn't have been caught so easily.

"It's all in the past, you don't need to blame yourself."

Tsunade changed the subject, saying, "But I need to give you special training to make you more vigilant."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Kushina Uzumaki did not refuse.

She definitely needs this kind of special training.

Natsuki followed Tsunade and Kushina to see Mito Uzumaki, where she showered him with compliments.

After the visit, he took the ninja cat Shirayuki to the empty area to find Granny Cat.

"Snow White, long time no see, meow!"

A group of cats surrounded Snow White, asking her all sorts of questions.

"Grandma Cat".

Natsuki cut to the chase, saying, "I want the best ninja sword you have."

Although this ninja sword is only for temporary use, he is not short of money now, so he naturally wants the best.

"The best ninja sword is also the most expensive ninja sword."

"7

Grandma Cat reminded her.

"It's okay, I brought money."

Xia Mu said with a confident expression.

Grandma Cat nodded slightly.

She was an information broker and had some knowledge of Xia Mu's situation.

His izakaya business was booming, and he made a lot of money.

"Ten million is needed."

Granny Cat held up one finger and explained, "This ninja sword incorporates a small amount of chakra metal."
