Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 1 The course of fate has changed

Happy birthday, Kabuto.

Natsume placed a palm-sized cake in front of the little boy and said, "The headmistress is too busy to see you right now, so she asked me to express her apologies to you."

"Thanks."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, a calmness beyond his years on his face. "The recent major upheaval in Konoha affected many people. As a medical ninja, it's normal for the headmaster to be busy."

"Eat."

Natsume sat opposite him, looking at his white hair, and a thought came to mind.

She changed her gender and gained over 10,000 fans.

White hair and loli (young girl) is an interest to many.

Perhaps white hair and cute boys are a favorite of some people.

After all, we can't underestimate humans.

Although both are forms of punishment.

"You're seven years old now, aren't you?" Natsume asked.

"Hmm." Kabuto swallowed the cake in his mouth and then answered.

Natsume's eyes darted around as he began to calculate.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it's likely that Kabuto Yakushi encountered Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru around this age.

He was valued for his outstanding medical talent and recruited into the army, where he was trained as a ninja spy.

But now, Natsume has traveled through time and keeps reminding Kabuto not to reveal his medical talent.

The course of fate has changed.

Why haven't I received a reward yet?

Natsume subconsciously looked at his wrist.

There is a divine artifact there that only he can see, called the Ring of Fate.

You can get rewards by changing the fate of the characters in the story.

A turning point in one's life refers to the most important turning point in a long life.

For example, Yakushi-hime.

His first turning point in life was when he met Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru.

"I'm finished eating!"

Kabuto wiped his mouth, stood up, and asked, "I'm planning to train in medical ninjutsu. What about you?"

Although Natsume made him hide his talent, his medical ninjutsu did not suffer.

Because his medical talent is truly exceptional, it shouldn't be wasted.

If Kabuto hadn't met Orochimaru, and had followed the established path, he might have become the next Tsunade.

On the contrary, Natsume has no talent whatsoever.

Not only does he lack medical talent, but his ninja talent is also extremely poor.

It can be described as a double celebration.

[Because of your actions, Kabuto's fate has changed; you have gained 100 Fate Points.]

Natsume was suddenly stunned, then overjoyed.

Haha, the cheat code has finally arrived!

"Go and cultivate, don't worry about me."

Natsume watched Yakushi Kabuto leave, then turned and went into the room.

One hundred points of destiny may seem like a small amount, but it is actually quite a lot.

According to the rules of the Holy Ring of Fate, each person can obtain a maximum of one hundred Fate Points per Fate Node.

As for how much is obtained, it depends on the role the character whose fate is changed plays in the story.

However, because there are many turning points in fate, it means that a certain person can be repeatedly targeted.

Natsume is seven years old this year. He is an orphan of the Third Shinobi World War and was adopted by Yakushi Nonou.

In the orphanage, the only character in the story who could change his fate was Kabuto Yakushi.

Under his deliberate influence, they had become good friends after living together for three years.

Otherwise, Kabuto Yakushi wouldn't have listened to him and hidden his medical talent.

Natsume twirled the Holy Ring of Destiny, and a curtain of light unfolded in his vision.

[Current Destiny Value: 100 points.]

The Fate Points Shop is now open.

[Newbie Special Offer: Because you possess the bloodline of the Senju clan, you can awaken your Wood Release talent at a 90% discount.]

Without hesitation, Natsume purchased the newbie special offer.

Ninety points of fate value disappeared.

A warm current ran through my body.

comfortable.

Natsume let out a breath, feeling refreshed.

With his Wood Release talent, he had the means to establish himself in the ninja world.

However, converting talent into real wealth is not an easy thing.

While the Fate Points Shop does offer Wood Release ninjutsu, obtaining Fate Points is difficult.

Natsume has his sights set on Konoha.

The simplest way is to directly reveal that he possesses the talent of Wood Release.

Wood Release holds a very special position in Konoha Village.

Because it represents the invincible First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

It is highly likely that he will be taken under the wing of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and trained by him.

There was a low probability that they would enter the root of the matter and be brainwashed by Danzo Shimura.

But Natsume believes there is a third way.

Tsunade.

Because she is the princess of the Senju clan.

She couldn't possibly ignore the fact that she was the second ninja to possess Wood Release since her grandfather, Hashirama Senju.

If Natsume had Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, protecting him, he would be very safe for a long time, and at the same time, he could learn Wood Release ninjutsu from her for free.

It can be described as a win-win situation.

He won twice.

After the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade left Konoha and wandered around.

But that doesn't mean she became a rogue ninja.

She still has a deep love for Konoha.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Fifth Hokage later on.

The original work does not mention whether she returned after leaving Konoha.

But now that the Nine-Tails' rampage has just ended, the funerals of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina Uzumaki are about to take place.

Tsunade will most likely return.

Natsume has no choice but to take a gamble.

He couldn't contact Tsunade because of his status, but Yakushi Nonou could.

Konoha, at Tsunade's suggestion, has developed a decent medical system.

Medical classes and hospitals were thus established.

Tsunade once taught in the medical class.

Yakushi Nonou was one of her students, and the two had a decent relationship.

Natsume's idea was to reveal the Wood Release technique to her, and then she would contact Tsunade.

Of course, this is a technical skill.

Next, it was his performance time.

night.

After a busy day, Pharmacist Nono returned to the orphanage.

Due to the Nine-Tails' attack, Konoha Hospital was overcrowded, and there was a severe shortage of medical ninjas.

She had no choice but to go and help.

Although Yakushi Nonou was exhausted, now was not the time to rest; she still had to urge the children to go to sleep.

She first went to Kabuto's room.

The lights were not turned off.

Yakushi Nonou knocked on the door and asked, "Reading?"

"Dean, you're back?"

Kabuto Yakushi smiled happily. "I'm looking at the 'Elementary Ninja Case Analysis' you gave me."

Go to bed early.

Yakushi Nonou also smiled.

Although Kabuto Yakushi learns relatively slowly, he works very hard.

Obedient and sensible.

Of all the children, Kabuto was her favorite.

"I'll read one more chapter and then go to sleep, in half an hour."

Yakushi Kabuto held up one finger, haggling as he spoke.

"I really can't do anything with you. You go ahead and look at it, I'll come back later."

Pharmacist Nono felt somewhat helpless, but mostly she was filled with love and satisfaction for the child.

She closed the door and walked toward the second room.

If Kabuto Yakushi is an obedient and well-behaved child, then Natsume is an overly precocious big kid.

Although he is only seven years old, he speaks and acts like an adult.

But it was precisely because of this personality that Natsume became the leader of the children in the orphanage, saving her a lot of trouble.

Yakushi Nonou opened the door and immediately raised her eyebrows.

Her face was slightly pale, her hair was disheveled, and her clean clothes had mud-colored scuff marks. The cuffs looked as if they had been torn open by some sharp thorns, revealing the red and swollen skin underneath.

"Dean."

Natsume quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "I accidentally tripped and fell."

"I want to hear the truth."

Pharmacist Nonou scrutinized the little boy with a serious expression, then squatted down and grabbed his right arm.

"Ouch, that hurts."

Natsume instinctively gasped.

"Now you know what pain is?"

Yakushi Nonou stretched out her right hand and covered the wound, a faint green light shimmering around it.

A warm current soothed his right arm, and Natsume's expression softened. He thought to himself, "Medical ninjutsu is so convenient."

"Alright, be more careful next time."

Yakushi Nonou stared at him with her dark gray eyes. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Natsume hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Dean, it seems I've awakened some kind of special talent."

Awakening? Talent?

Yakushi Nonou was an extremely skilled ninja, and she immediately thought of bloodline limits, which are ninjutsu inherited through bloodlines.

Under certain circumstances, it is possible to awaken automatically.

"Let me see," Yakushi Nonou asked impatiently.

If Natsume can awaken his bloodline limit, it means he can become a ninja.

For an orphan, this is undoubtedly a good way out.

Natsume extended his right hand, and chakra surged forth, extending from his palm in several thorns.

However, because he had poor control, the pieces scattered after a few seconds.

The sharp thorns left scratches on his arm.

"Wood Release?!"

Yakushi Nonou stared wide-eyed, her tone filled with extremely complex emotions.
