Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 130 Carrying a knife but forgetting to bring an umbrella

As soon as Natsumi left, Orochimaru appeared right behind him.

It is no coincidence.

He left his summoned beast, the snake from Ryuchi Cave, at his secret base.

Normally, Natsume would be discovered as soon as he arrived.

But he also knew Orochimaru, so he preemptively stunned the snakes, and they only woke up after he left.

Orochimaru, his face grim, entered the secret base and quickly arrived at the glass hall, where he saw Jugo and Guren lying on the ground.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Although Jugo and Guren were unable to get up, they were not unconscious either. Upon seeing him, they quickly greeted him.

"What happened?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, indicating that he was in a bad mood.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Jugo spoke first, "I will accuse Guren of colluding with foreign enemies and taking Uchiha Shin away!"

"I'm not!"

Ignoring the pain, Honglian shouted, "My loyalty to you is as clear as day! It was that mysterious expert who used some unknown means to make me reveal Uchiha Shin's location."

"Don't make a sound."

Orochimaru frowned.

The possibility of Honglian betraying him is very small.

The ninja world does indeed have its own methods of torture.

Although this sounds ingenious, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Orochimaru entered the arena, sniffed the air, and immediately revealed a cold smile.

It seems this powerful figure's methods of concealing his tracks are rather ordinary.

He left a shadow clone to take care of Guren and Jugo, while his main body quickly disappeared from the spot.

Shin Uchiha is related to the Mangekyou Sharingan; he must not lose it and must retrieve it.

Even if it was a trap, Orochimaru was confident that he could get through it safely.

After all, he had many ways to escape.

After leaving the secret base, Natsume traveled at a fast pace, passing through the Land of Fields and entering the Land of Lightning.

Orochimaru was fast, but he was no match for him when he used Sage Mode to escape.

dusk.

Natsume sets up a simple tent.

He left a shadow clone to watch over Shin Uchiha, while he himself used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive in the Land of Waves.

He couldn't be bothered to spend the night with a weird-looking little brat.

It's no exaggeration to say that Uchiha Shin is strange.

This guy doesn't look human at all; his skin is so white it looks like he's been dead for ages.

"Still working?"

Natsume appeared at the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Waves and shook his head as he looked at Uzumaki Ena, who was engrossed in processing data.

He is far too diligent.

Since becoming the head of the chamber of commerce, she has been working all the time except for eating and sleeping.

Fortunately, she was a member of the Uzumaki clan and had a strong physique; otherwise, she would have died suddenly long ago.

"I have nothing to do, so I want to deal with more issues related to the Chamber of Commerce."

Uzumaki Ena raised her head, a gentle smile on her face.

"Some things can be delegated to subordinates."

Natsume walked up to her and took over her office chair.

Uzumaki Ena could only sit on his lap.

She had one arm around him and rested her head on his shoulder.

Natsume pressed his forehead against hers and asked, "Do you know who wrote the 'Memorial to the Throne' that I had Karin recite?"

"It seems to be called Zhuge... Zhuge... Village... Ming."

Uzumaki Ena hesitated, her face showing a hint of doubt, and began to stammer.

She only read it once, so it didn't leave a particularly deep impression on her.

"It is Zhuge Liang."

Natsume ran his fingers through her hair and said, "He died from overwork because he was too diligent and did everything himself."

"what?"

Uzumaki Ena was a little surprised that she would die in this way.

Natsume laughed, charmed by her reaction.

He pinched her soft cheek, looked into her beautiful eyes, and said, "That's why you should rest when you need to."

"I see."

After spending so much time together, Uzumaki Ena had long since gotten used to his little tricks.

"You're really that energetic, you can play with me!"

Sure enough, he was serious for less than a second.

Ena Uzumaki showed an indulgent expression on her face.

She got up, adjusted her position, and sat back down in her office chair.

Two straight, slender legs crossed and joined together, her delicate, petite feet constantly swaying in her high-heeled slippers.

What Natsume didn't expect was that it wasn't Uchiha Mikoto who awakened her Sharingan first, but Uzumaki Ena.

Although it is a special third eye.

Night falls.

Four hours have passed.

Natsume couldn't help but feel a little worried.

However, Uzumaki Ena remained full of energy, her sharp tongue constantly reminding him not to underestimate the female ninja.

Especially the Uzumaki clan who have cultivated the Yin Seal.

At this moment, he suddenly began to suspect the cause of Hashirama Senju's death.

After all, given his invincible cells, his death was quite suspicious.

Now it seems that it might be because Madara Uchiha and Mito Uzumaki joined forces.

Natsume coughed lightly, waited for about ten seconds, and said, "I'll come again next time."

Uzumaki Ena tilted her head back, not wanting to speak, and blinked.

After he left, she reached out and tore off a lot of transparent spider silk from her face.

Let's do a thorough cleaning tomorrow.

Uzumaki Ena slumped to the ground, staring at the spiderweb in the corner of the ceiling, lost in thought.

She was very satisfied with today.

It helped both the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce and Natsume.

She originally planned to close the door to visitors after the first hour, but she mustered her strength and persevered for another three hours.

"The water is too deep."

Natsume has appeared on a riverbank in the wild.

This was also where he set up camp.

Although it was very damp and deep, he still jumped in and took a shower.

Because his clothes got wet by accident, and he didn't have an umbrella, only a knife.

After removing the scent from his body, Natsume had his shadow clone carry Shin Uchiha on his way back to Konoha Village.

Because it was too late, Tsunade was already asleep.

Natsume took off his coat and crawled into bed.

It's very warm.

Especially since he had just taken a cold shower.

Why are you so cold?

Tsunade's voice made Natsume freeze abruptly.

"Sorry, sister, I woke you up."

Without saying a word, he immediately slid to his knees and used an apology to change the subject.

"It doesn't matter."

Although Tsunade's spellcasting was interrupted, she did not let him go.

I touched his cold spot with both hands and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he wasn't sick.

"No matter what you do, you have to take care of your health, understand?"

Tsunade hugged him tightly, and warmth flowed through her.

Natsume paused slightly, then, burdened by the weight of the situation, tried to fall asleep.

But he's so energetic!

Tsunade opened her eyes and met his gaze.

Both of them felt a little awkward.

However, Tsunade did not let up.

She remained expressionless, but her voice trembled slightly as she said, "It's too late, go to sleep."

The next morning.

Headache, dizziness, tingling, and a feeling of tightness are all mixed together.

Natsume opened his eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Seeing how energetic you are, I couldn't resist teasing you a little."

Tsunade released her grip, grabbed her coat, and quickly left the room.

After being interrupted by the silence, her mindset changed.

Since things have come to this point, nothing else matters, let's just make it quick.

It's just too...bold.

Natsume rubbed his head as he got out of bed.

He only slept for a short while, having stayed up almost all night.

That's why I felt so unwell this morning.

But the worst part is that he has to wash the sheets.

Fourth update.
