Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 113 Ino, a seasoned beauty enthusiast

early morning.

Natsume opened his eyes with difficulty.

I was too tired yesterday.

He trained in the morning, met with Orochimaru and Mei Terumi in the afternoon, and fought a bloody battle with Ena Uzumaki in the evening, which exhausted him greatly.

"Didn't sleep well?"

Tsunade noticed his reluctant look and couldn't help but ask.

She went to sleep first last night, and vaguely remembered that he came home very late.

He probably talked to Hinata Hyuga for too long again.

"No, it's that I don't want to get up."

Natsume rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "It would be even better if you could sleep in with me, sister."

Tsunade reached out and tapped his forehead, saying irritably, "You've only been working hard for a few days, and you're already trying to slack off?"

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Natsume suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Don't pretend."

Tsunade crossed her arms and said coldly, "You're not even afraid of the Slug Sage's sticky, sour tongue, but you're afraid of this little bit of pain?"

Hey!

Bad woman, don't you even know what romance is?

"It really hurts."

Natsume collapsed onto the bed.

Tsunade instinctively stepped forward to support him, and then she was embraced.

"You bastard!"

She frowned and glared angrily at Natsume, who had taken advantage of her.

But she was a step too slow.

Following his hunter's instincts, Natsume pressed his face against hers with lightning speed.

Tsunade was a little dazed, but she quickly got up, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and threw him onto the sofa in the living room.

She said threateningly, "You have to eat double breakfast today."

"No!"

Natsume's smug smile froze instantly, and he stood there petrified.

But the smile won't disappear; it will only shift.

Tsunade smiled with satisfaction, casually tied on her apron, and went into the kitchen.

"Huh? Natsume, why do you look so desperate?"

Hearing the sound, Jingyin opened the door, putting on her headband as she asked curiously.

"It's nothing."

Natsume looked up at her expectantly and asked, "Shizune-nee, are you feeling hungry? Do you want to eat more?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Jingyin's expression immediately changed, and she said, "I always eat a fixed amount of breakfast."

The will to survive triumphed over the bond between the senior and junior students.

In the end, under Tsunade's coercion, Natsume ate twice the amount of food with tears in his eyes.

He ran to the ninja academy while thinking about what the breakfast would taste like.

Today is the first day of school, plus an assessment.

When he last met Hinata Hyuga, she told him he absolutely had to come and see her.

Natsume happened to be going to see Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, so he agreed.

A large number of students and parents have gathered at the entrance of the ninja school.

"Itachi".

Natsume spotted the cold-faced Uchiha Itachi in the crowd at a glance.

"Natsume, I didn't expect to see you here."

Itachi Uchiha turned his head, somewhat surprised.

Where's Sasuke?

Natsume looked around but didn't see Uchiha Sasuke.

Good guy!

Do you perhaps have a new baby?

I haven't heard that Mikoto Uchiha had another baby.

He went to find his friend and told me to wait for him here.

Itachi Uchiha's cold expression softened slightly.

His biggest worry was Uchiha Sasuke.

Because of his personality and surname, no one made friends with him.

But now it seems that even without his older brother, Uchiha Sasuke will not be alone.

"A friend? Naruto?"

Natsume narrowed his eyes slightly.

Under normal circumstances, Itachi Uchiha would not want Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki to have much contact.

Unless he has already reached an agreement with Orochimaru to wipe out the Uchiha clan and then defect.

"more than."

Itachi Uchiha said with a hint of relief, "There are two girls too."

"Oh, I heard Sasuke is quite popular at school."

Natsume nodded, already able to guess which two girls they were.

Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.

Come to think of it, he had never met either of them.

Because he wasn't in the same class as Naruto Uzumaki.

It has to be said that being good-looking makes one popular.

Even though Sasuke Uchiha is called Uchiha, it didn't affect his popularity with women much.

Although right now, all he can see is Naruto Uzumaki.

Women will only affect his strength.

His only wish now is to defeat Naruto Uzumaki and dominate the Ninja Academy.

As a genius of the Uchiha clan, he was actually being suppressed and beaten.

That's so embarrassing!

Because of this incident, Sasuke Uchiha never received Fugaku Uchiha's praise, and it almost became a source of inner demons for him.

"I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here?"

While waiting, Itachi Uchiha unusually tried to start a conversation.

After Uchiha Shisui's fate became unknown, Natsume was one of the few people he could talk to for a few minutes.

"Look at that little boy."

Natsume pointed to Hinata Hyuga in the distance and said, "I'll go over there."

He stepped forward.

Hinata Hyuga immediately noticed him, and her eyes lit up.

"Aunt."

Natsume first greeted Hinata Hyuga, then looked at Hinata Hyuga and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

We actually see each other every day.

"Natsume-nii-san."

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head, her right hand unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes.

Actually, when two people are alone together, they're not that shy.

But outside, she felt all sorts of eyes were on them.

In summary, this reflects social anxiety.

Hinata Rinka glanced down at the shy expression on her daughter's face and smiled knowingly.

But she did not object.

Tsunade's renewed activity was something that well-informed major ninja clans had long suspected.

She's probably the next Hokage.

As her apprentice, Natsume's status naturally rose accordingly.

Because the Hokage of each generation have proven that Hokage is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

To become Hokage, fighting alone isn't enough.

Of course, there have also been exceptions like the White Fang of Konoha.

But this is a topic that cannot be discussed.

Hyuga Rinka asked, "Natsume, what brings you to the ninja academy?"

"Oh, I ran into Itachi, so I stopped by to take a look."

Natsume can't exactly say, "I met with your daughter at night to see her."

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Rinka Hinata glanced at Hinata Hinata, then leaned close to Natsume's ear and breathed warm air into her.

"The Uchiha clan is in a bad situation right now. Take my advice and avoid contact with them."

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

This kind of reminder is quite rare.

This indicates that Hinata Rinka has a good impression of him.

"I see."

Natsume nodded and said.

"Um."

Hyuga Rinka took Hyuga Hinata's hand and said, "There's an entrance exam today. You can take a look if you're interested."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

After watching the mother and daughter leave, Natsume returned to Itachi's side.

Not long after, four children walked over from a distance.

Uchiha Sasuke walked at the front with his hands in his pockets and a cold expression.

On the left is Naruto Uzumaki, laughing and talking incessantly.

On the right are a blonde girl and a pink-haired girl swooning over a guy.

"Sasuke-kun is so handsome!"

Sakura Haruno's eyes lit up, and her mind was filled with rage: That damn Naruto! He stole my man!

As Yamanaka Ino was about to speak, her face suddenly went blank.

In the crowd, an exceptionally handsome young man caught her eye.

Uchiha Sasuke is indeed good-looking, but he is still young and hasn't reached his peak appearance yet.

And Natsume was at his most handsome at that time.

Most importantly, Yamanaka Ino is a seasoned aesthetics enthusiast.

In the original work, she married Sai simply because he resembled Uchiha Sasuke.
