Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 104 Join My Organization

Natsume was not surprised to see Orochimaru, who had transformed from a white snake into a black snake due to the cursed seal.

Although he never used the cursed seal in the original work, now that he possesses Hashirama cells and Yamato, his physical strength can be artificially enhanced.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, captivated by the immense power.

But he will not become arrogant because of this.

He clearly remembered the Wood Release technique that Natsume used when he stole Uchiha Shisui.

It was truly appalling.

However, things are different now.

Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!

Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals, extended his right arm, and several huge wooden vines bloomed like a flower.

Natsume suddenly opened his Mangekyou Sharingan.

A powerful surge of pupil energy erupted forth.

Magical Shackles Technique!

The sky suddenly darkened.

Orochimaru regained his senses, only to find his body immobilized by large iron nails.

A sharp pain shot through him, and his face was covered in cold sweat.

"How is that possible?"

Orochimaru found it utterly unbelievable.

After being transformed into a cursed seal, one should theoretically have increased resistance to illusions.

Could it be due to the unique nature of the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Natsume looked at Orochimaru and almost laughed.

Just like in the original work, in order to save his life, he divided his own soul and used it for the Heavenly Curse Seal.

This also created a huge weakness for him.

His incomplete soul caused his resistance to illusions to decrease.

More accurately, it is unable to resist the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

When Orochimaru joined the Akatsuki, he was defeated by Itachi Uchiha's Illusionary Shackles Technique.

"Want to know why?"

Natsume casually took out a kunai and walked over slowly.

"What's the reason?"

Orochimaru seemed to have stopped struggling and was waiting to die on the spot.

But Natsume naturally wouldn't believe it.

He threw away the kunai, clapped his hands together, and activated Sage Mode.

Perception expanded.

Natsume immediately disappeared.

The next instant, a jet of water sliced ​​through the wall behind them, cutting it in two.

"Sage Mode?"

Orochimaru's expression was solemn.

He learned Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave and also saw Jiraiya use Sage Mode.

He would never have been mistaken about the special chakra emanating from Natsume.

I didn't use Sage Mode last time.

Orochimaru's heart sank; they had actually preserved their strength.

Wood Release, plus Sage Mode.

Isn't this just Hashirama Senju reincarnated?

Natsume's body appeared not far away.

Orochimaru has broken the genjutsu.

To be precise, it was Tobirama Senju who solved it.

That water jet was his signature ninjutsu.

Water Escape · Water Breaks Waves!

All the water-style ninjutsu Natsume learned came from Tobirama Senju.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him his apprentice.

"As expected of you, Orochimaru."

Natsume glanced at the stunned Tobirama Senju.

Even with modifications, the Impure World Reincarnation technique cannot unleash the full power of a person's previous life without a White Zetsu as a sacrifice.

Tobirama Senju was also the creator of this technique, so to prevent him from undoing it on his own, his consciousness was directly erased.

Orochimaru summoned him because of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which would make it easier for him to leave.

He just didn't expect that his first enemy would be Natsume.

It must be said that being summoned ahead of schedule is indeed a stroke of luck.

But Tobirama Senju alone is not enough.

Orochimaru remained silent and did not make a move.

The feeling of being controlled by illusion was very ominous.

Even his last battle with Uchiha Shisui wasn't that bad.

Orochimaru, hiding behind Tobirama Senju, asked, "How about we make a deal?"

After Natsume unleashed his Sage Mode, he became incredibly difficult to defeat.

It's better to go with the flow.

"Oh? Now you want to make a deal?"

Natsume couldn't help but smile and said, "You're not willing to suffer even the slightest loss."

"I can't beat you, but I can destroy Uchiha Izumi."

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then said, "Tobirama Senju has the Flying Thunder God Technique; you can't stop him."

Natsume thought to himself, "This guy is really troublesome."

But he never intended to kill him. Keeping him alive would allow him to continuously contribute fate points, making him a good leek to be harvested.

"What kind of deal?"

"Tell me why you easily controlled me just now, and I will hand over Uchiha Izumi to you intact."

Orochimaru's chilling voice emanated from the room.

To be honest, he was very unhappy about losing Uchiha Izumi.

But this is already the best possible outcome.

If the fighting continues, it's hard to predict the outcome.

He does possess the Heavenly Curse Seal that allows him to revive, but at a great cost.

"There's something wrong with your soul."

Natsume said casually.

Actually, there's another reason: the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan is too powerful.

Orochimaru frowned, but did not ask any further questions.

Tobirama Senju grabbed him, and the two of them vanished instantly.

Natsume deactivated Sage Mode and turned to walk into the room.

He was slightly taken aback; there were two people.

Uchiha Izumi was locked to the wall, her chakra almost completely still, with only her Sharingan eyes flaring restlessly.

On the ground was another beautiful woman who looked somewhat like her, with strangulation marks on her snow-white neck.

Unsurprisingly, it was her mother.

“Who…who are you?”

Uchiha Izumi looked at the unfamiliar young man with a wary expression.

"Are you interested in joining our organization?"

Natsume crouched down and placed his hand on Uchiha Hazuki's head.

"Let her go! What do you think you're doing?!"

Uchiha Izumi immediately became excited and shouted.

"She just fainted, she's fine."

Natsume's chakra circulated once before he withdrew his hand.

"...What?"

Uchiha Izumi was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at him.

"What are your thoughts on my suggestion?"

Natsume took out a kunai, covered it with chakra, and immediately became indestructible. He quickly cut off the chains binding her.

Izumi Uchiha had no time to answer his question and quickly ran to Hazuki Uchiha and helped her up.

After confirming everything, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Natsume, a look of hesitation on her face.

She naturally didn't want to join any organization.

But the current situation truly doesn't allow her to refuse.

"You're hesitating."

Natsume narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand. After all, my origins are unknown, so it's normal that you don't want to follow me."

Uchiha Izumi was taken aback.

This unfamiliar, powerful figure is so understanding?

"The Uchiha clan is in dire straits. As a member of it, you should find another way out, right?"

Natsume crouched down, grabbed her right hand, inserted a token, and said, "Enter your chakra, and I will know."

Although he saved Uchiha Izumi, it was impossible for him to gain her trust so quickly.

Moreover, he had no intention of bringing her under his wing right now.

The best time is when she is in despair.

That is, the night of the extermination of the entire clan.

Natsume left quite decisively, leaving Uchiha Izumi standing there in a daze.

Looking at the words "Destiny" on the token, she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

A moment later, her chakra recovered, and she got up and left with her mother.

He was slightly startled when he noticed the signs of a battle outside.

This shows that Natsume was not in cahoots with Orochimaru, but rather that he drove him away.

Its true strength is bound to be earth-shattering.
