Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 136 New Uzumaki Clan Ninja

Natsume has always been a ninja who keeps his word.

He did nothing more to Mikoto Uchiha.

A person's capacity to bear burdens is limited.

He wanted a normal subordinate, not a crazy one.

As Natsume walked out of Mikoto Uchiha's room, he saw Tayuya.

She was still wearing a kimono, but without the bamboo tube.

"How was the punishment last time?"

Natsume smiled, revealing an amused expression.

Perhaps it was this attitude that made Tayu feel angry.

She put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and said with a hint of disdain, "Two days is nothing to worry about!"

Well, she wouldn't say that she was so hungry she was about to faint, while drooling soaked the bamboo tube and dripped all over the ground, which was quite unseemly.

"You look very energetic."

Natsume nodded in satisfaction.

"What do you want to do?"

Tayuya immediately showed a wary expression, staring at him fiercely, like a young beast.

"Am I really that worthless in your eyes?"

Natsume casually pulled out a lollipop and asked, "Want some?"

"I won't eat it!"

Tayuya paused for a second, then shouted, "I'm not a child!"

"Adults can eat lollipops too."

Natsume shoved it into her hand and said, "You have to eat it, or I'll punish you."

Tayu was a little confused.

But Natsume had already left.

She thought for a moment, tore open the lollipop wrapper, licked it, and found it was banana flavored.

"What the hell?"

Tayuya scoffed and said, "You think you can bribe me with a lollipop? That's impossible. Next time, I'll definitely kill you!"

Natsume did not leave the Land of Waves immediately.

It was noon, so he spent an hour exchanging cooking tips with Uzumaki Ena.

The next second, as the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated, he appeared in the Mizukage's office.

"Could you have let me know before you came?"

Startled, Mei Terumi patted her chest and said...

"Feel sorry."

Natsume smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I don't have any good ideas either."

There is currently no internet, mobile phone, or telephone in the ninja world.

How could he give advance notice?

Mei Terumi stared at him for a long while, then asked, "Your ninjutsu looks like the Flying Thunder God Technique from Konoha?"

Natsume was somewhat surprised.

As expected of the Mizukage.

They have such keen observation skills.

Logically speaking, the Flying Thunder God Technique should be impossible to defend against.

Her ability to recognize this ninjutsu from the smallest details is truly astonishing.

To be honest, Natsume had been trying to increase her affection level, even by playing the hero and saving her from harm, but she still hadn't lost her rationality and fallen into the so-called love-struck state.

A nice woman.

You've caught my attention.

cough cough.

Natsume readily admitted, "It is indeed the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"As expected, what you said earlier about being a ninja from Kirigakure was a lie."

Mei Terumi wasn't too surprised; she had already guessed it.

Because Natsume is excessively strong.

In addition, some of the water-style techniques he used were not recorded in Kirigakure at all.

In the entire ninja world, the village with the best water-style ninja techniques is actually Konoha.

Because of Tobirama Senju.

This Second Hokage relied on his incredibly powerful Water Release techniques to dominate the ninja world.

The Hidden Mist Village borrowed a lot from the water-style ninjutsu.

Although Mei Terumi knew some of Natsume's true identity, there was nothing she could do.

After all, she was heavily in debt.

Moreover, if Natsume really wanted to harm Kirigakure, he would have plenty of opportunities.

Why go through all that trouble?

Mei Terumi has come to understand that when a person is powerful enough, no amount of conspiracy will work.

What can she do?

Killed Natsume?

Drive out the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce?

She can't do anything.

The former is no match for them, while the latter is a major financial backer.

The harsh reality.

"The sun is shining brightly today, the sky is cloudless, and it won't rain."

Natsume stood by the window, smiling as he extended an invitation, "Lord Mizukage, would you be interested in accompanying me to the Land of Whirlpools?"

"You're wrong. This isn't accompanying you; it's a task assignment."

Mei Terumi shook her head and corrected her.

"Yes, it's a mission assignment."

Natsume found it quite interesting.

Mei Terumi and Tsunade have completely different personalities.

One is dignified, the other is straightforward.

No wonder the former is the Mizukage and the latter is the Hokage.

"Since it's the Mizukage who's in charge, let's set it as an S-rank mission. The reward, hmm, is five million two hundred thousand taels."

Natsume said casually.

When you have hundreds of millions, a few million is just pocket money.

Mei Terumi, however, is different.

This was the first time she had ever met such a generous employer.

It took me several seconds to react.

"No, that's too much. A country like the Land of Whirlpools, which has no ninjas, isn't worth that much money."

Mei Terumi was quite tempted, but she still rejected Natsume's excessive affection.

As a principled person, Shuiying cannot be corrupted by money.

Moreover, such an excessive reward makes it hard for her not to suspect that Natsume might have some ulterior motive.

"Then let's make it one million."

Natsume's sudden price cut left Terumi Mei stunned once again.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Were you kidding me?"

While one million is a reasonable amount, the sudden cut of over four million is highly unusual.

The only explanation is that he did it on purpose.

"It's not good to have a serious face all the time."

Natsume smiled and said, "I'm quite happy that I can use money to show the Mizukage a different kind of glory."

Mei Terumi couldn't help but glare at him.

What kind of lecherous rogue is this?

If it were anyone else, she would have already dissolved them in one breath and killed them.

Mei Terumi patted her chest and silently recited, "I am the Mizukage, I am not angry."

Natsume, on the other hand, admired the trembling, arcing motion.

Although she can't compare to Tsunade, she surpasses most people.

"Let's go."

Mei Terumi regained her aloof demeanor and said, "I've already had the Anbu members investigate the Land of Whirlpools beforehand. The most troublesome ones are the wandering ninjas."

Natsume nodded, then suddenly thought of Kaguya Kimimaro.

Will Mei Terumi try to take him away from me?

100% yes.

It's a bit of a hassle.

Judging from the situation, Mei Terumi was unaware that Kimimaro Kaguya was also in the Land of Whirlpools.

Why?

Logically speaking, if Kaguya Kimimaro had made a move, she would have noticed it.

After all, the characteristics of the corpse bone vein are too obvious.

Unless he never made a move?

After a moment's thought, Natsume roughly guessed the reason.

Bloodstain disease has broken out.

In the original work, Kaguya Kimimaro met Orochimaru when she was young, which allowed her to live a few more years.

Now that he's a wandering ninja, where will he get the funds and the skills to treat himself?

"There are roughly three groups of wandering ninjas. The largest one is quite organized, and its leader is named Honoka, who is a researcher who studies summoning beasts."

Mei Terumi glanced at the documents already prepared on the table and said, "There's not much to say about the remaining two groups; they don't even have any Jonin."

In fact, even a Jonin would find it difficult to become a wandering ninja.

With that kind of strength, you could easily live a life of luxury in any small ninja village.

If you have ideals, you can join the Five Great Villages and who knows, you might rise to great heights.

Natsume frowned upon hearing this.

The name Honoka seems familiar.

That idol who sings and dances?

No, that's not right, it should be a character from the original work.

Since his strength increased significantly, Natsume's memory has also been enhanced.

He can recall many details from his past life that he only saw once.

"What's wrong?"

Mei Terumi had been watching him closely, and noticing the change in his expression, she asked, "Is something wrong?"

"No, let's go."

Natsume shook his head and said.

Mei Terumi didn't ask any more questions, stood up, and walked towards the door.

"etc."

Natsume called out to her, "No need for that, I'll take you there."

Mei Terumi hesitated for two seconds before nodding.

She had only heard of the Flying Thunder God Technique, but had never seen it.

After all, during the Third Shinobi World War, when Minato Namikaze was active, Kirigakure only sent the Three-Tails and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

As the Mizukage, one should not take risks with such an unknown ninjutsu.

"Spatial transfer can be a bit unstable."

Natsume stretched out his arm in a serious manner and said, "Grab me so you don't fall."

Mei Terumi immediately began to suspect his motives.

After examining the expression several times, I couldn't find anything wrong.

She was no ordinary woman after all; she simply grabbed his arm and placed it in her full embrace.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

Two people appeared on the ruins of Vortex Village.

The Flying Thunder God Kunai that Natsume had his shadow clones bury earlier is located here.

The main reason is that this place is remote, and under normal circumstances, it would not be discovered.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed very useful."

Mei Terumi released his arm, her heart stirred with a mix of emotions, but mostly with envy.

Konoha Village is just too blessed by nature.

Not only are there abundant resources, but geniuses also emerge one after another.

When it comes to forbidden techniques or decisive ninjutsu, Kirigakure has almost none.

"Lord Mizukage, please lead the way."

Natsume felt Mei Terumi's gentle warmth, but it was clearly not as strong as Tsunade's.

"Um."

Mei Terumi looked around to determine her direction, then leaped into the air and disappeared into the distance.

Natsume quickly followed.

Ten minutes later, they stopped in front of an izakaya (Japanese pub).

"This is the stronghold of the first group of wandering ninjas."

Mei Terumi pushed open the door as she spoke, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Where did this pretty girl come from?"

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a sleazy appearance and an even more sleazy voice stood up. "Judging by your appearance, you don't know what happiness is, do you? Come and keep this old man company!"

Mei Terumi's expression darkened.

Before Natsume could speak, she had already opened her mouth.

Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!

The orange-yellow acid liquid instantly soaked the middle-aged man's entire body.

Without even a scream, he returned to the Pure Land and went to see the Six Paths Immortal.

"Run!"

Even the dumbest of the remaining people knew they had encountered a master.

Mei Terumi showed no mercy, her acidic spittle scattering like a shower of flowers, engulfing everyone.

A wandering ninja, his death is not a pity.

They were all utterly wicked.

Even if Kirigakure was short-handed, Mei Terumi wouldn't even consider them.

In the lawless land of Whirlpools, humanity has long been extinguished.

Screams continued to ring out.

Natsume wrote several large characters on the ground.

"From now on, it will belong to Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce."

After he finished writing, Mei Terumi also finished her work and called it a day.

She felt pretty good.

He vented all the frustration he had just felt from being teased by Natsume.

As for the words of the unknown middle-aged man, she considered them insignificant.

Unless it's Natsume who says it.

Only then will she react.

"Let's go."

Mei Terumi glanced at the words on the ground.

Yes, it's quite well written.

She turned and left the izakaya.

Half an hour later, they appeared at a casino.

Although there was slight resistance, it was still accepted smoothly.

In the end, only one wave of wandering ninjas remained.

"In the mountains?"

Natsume was somewhat surprised.

The chaotic environment of the Land of Whirlpools allows even slightly powerful ninjas to act with impunity.

Traveling all that way into the mountains is truly extraordinary.

"Leave this to me, okay?"

Natsume reached out and blocked her path.

"...?"

Mei Terumi looked up at him.

A clever mind is already figuring out the reason.

Natsume had acted strangely when he heard about Honoka earlier.

Do they know each other?

"I haven't made a move yet on this trip, it's a bit boring."

Natsume made up an excuse and went into the cave.

Mei Terumi hesitated for a few seconds, but still didn't follow.

He's just a wandering ninja.

Even if there are problems, they won't be too outrageous.

She has no reason to offend this big spender.

Suddenly, a faint light flickered in the dimly lit cave.

Natsume tilted his head, and a kunai grazed his face.

Then, he heard the sound of wind behind him, and the short sword pierced straight into the center of his back.

Natsume, who was prepared, blocked the short sword with a kunai and released his grip.

Using his chakra, the kunai was launched and struck the attacker's Achilles tendon.

A scream rang out.

Natsume ignored him and continued walking.

The rapid weathering turned it into air cannonballs.

It flew toward him from not far away.

Natsume looked up and saw an ordinary young ninja.

He vanished in an instant, dodging the wind bullets while simultaneously stunning him.

Just then, a thick fog rolled in.

The already dimly lit cave became completely pitch black.

Natsume was somewhat surprised.

This is the technique of concealing oneself in mist.

Ordinary wandering ninjas don't have that many tricks up their sleeves.

Kind of interesting.

The sound of rushing water came from afar.

A giant water dragon appeared in front of Natsume in the blink of an eye.

Too lazy to dodge, Thor's sword slashed down suddenly.

Several wounds instantly appeared on the attacking water dragon's body.

A few breaths later, it was cut into more than a dozen pieces and scattered on the ground.

Natsume swung his sword again.

A flash of lightning transformed into a sword aura, illuminating the cave and stunning the caster, who then foamed at the mouth.

But the fog still hadn't dissipated.

This means there was another ninja.

Natsume turned around, and the Thunder God Sword roared, unleashing dozens of sword lights centered on the blade.

"Be careful!"

"Scatter!"

"Aaaaaah!"

A series of sounds rang out.

Natsume glanced at the several people lying on the ground, but did not kill them.

He eventually entered the depths of the cave, into a rather large underground hall.

At this moment, six people were on high alert, ready to fight.

In the center stands Honoka, wearing a white dress.

What attracts Xia the most is her fiery red hair.

The Whirlpool Clan.

He finally remembered who Honoka was.

A sealing ninja who appears on the island of spirits in the Land of the Sea in the original work.

Skilled in sealing techniques and spirit communication techniques.

Although not explicitly stated to be a member of the Uzumaki clan, their characteristics are too obvious.

But why would they appear in the Land of Whirlpools?

After a moment of contemplation, Natsume realized that it was indeed possible.

After all, the storyline of Shaman Island is still several years away.

She must have gone later.

"May I ask who you are?"

Honoka stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "What are your intentions? We can discuss it."

In the previous battle, she had already realized that Natsume's strength far exceeded theirs.

Unless Kaguya Kimimaro is released from her hospital bed.

But doing so would only hasten his death.

Four thousand words, two chapters combined. First and second update.
