Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 142 Teaching the Instructor to Cook

Natsume took Naruto Uzumaki home.

Looking at the slightly dilapidated room, he thought of Uchiha Sasuke.

With his help, the relationship between Naruto and Kurama should improve quickly.

Furthermore, he also obtained the memories of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze.

The former has a good understanding of Jinchūriki.

The latter, needless to say, has extensive combat experience and possesses numerous ninjutsu techniques.

In other words, Naruto Uzumaki has two more power-ups than he did in the original work.

Compared to the other two, Uchiha Sasuke is really pitiful.

If we don't come up with a solution soon, I'm afraid we'll never be able to surpass Naruto Uzumaki.

How so?

Uchiha Sasuke is still quite young and has just awakened two tomoe Sharingan.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to advance further; the best way is to learn ninjutsu.

For example, Lightning Release.

Natsume was just chatting with Minato Namikaze when he reminded him of something.

Hokage's bodyguards.

The original purpose of this position was not to protect the Hokage, but to cultivate his direct descendants.

For example, the Hokage guards of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

They are all very famous.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Torifu Akimichi, Kagami Uchiha, etc.

The Fourth Hokage was rather lackluster.

Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Deivashi.

The main reason they were transferred away from the power center of Konoha was not only because Minato Namikaze died young, but also because they lacked strength.

The only valuable thing is that the three of them can work together to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After Tsunade became Hokage, she also chose to become a bodyguard.

That's right, it's still Genma Shiranui and the other two.

It's most likely because of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the lack of a suitable candidate.

Natsume returned to the Hokage's office.

Only after confirming that no one was inside did they push the door open and enter.

Given his relationship with Tsunade, there was no need to knock.

"elder sister."

Natsume slipped to her side, jumped into her arms, and rubbed his little face against hers.

"This is the office."

Tsunade reached out and lifted his chin, simultaneously kicking him with her bare foot. "Behave yourself."

"And you're the one who said that?"

Natsume glanced at her bare feet, which were free of high-heeled sandals, and said, "She doesn't look like a Hokage at all."

"Hmph, I am the Hokage!"

Tsunade glared at him. "Everything I do has its reasons, and you can only listen to me."

"Alright, my Hokage, I have a memorial to present."

Natsume took out the proposal for the Hokage's secretariat that he had written beforehand and handed it to her.

"What did you write?"

Tsunade opened the file and immediately put on a thoughtful expression.

With nothing else to do, Natsume stood behind her and massaged her shoulders.

"The bottom-ranking elimination system and shift system are good; they can stimulate their sense of crisis and enthusiasm."

Tsunade raised her head, revealing her fair neck, and said, "It's just that Konoha has never had this kind of reward system before, so it's not quite appropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Natsume looked into that deep gaze and asked, "The seven ninjas in the Hokage's secretariat are too busy with their work to go out and work. If they aren't paid, how can they be expected to continue working there long-term?"

The ninja system is truly outrageous.

As a ninja, you can only earn rewards through missions.

The rest are all doing unpaid work.

No wonder the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was so eager to boast about the Will of Fire.

Tsunade blinked; it did seem to make a lot of sense.

She turned her head and looked at the documents again.

Natsume, on the other hand, played with her silky, smooth blonde hair.

"I will study it carefully."

After reading it all, Tsunade couldn't help but show her surprise.

Although some things were insignificant, with Natsume's suggestions and combinations, they actually came together to form a management system that seemed feasible.

If followed completely, it will definitely be faster and more effective than the previous method.

"I've realized you're more suited to be Hokage than I am."

Tsunade's heartfelt sentiment.

Where?

Natsume rested his chin on her shoulder and said, "I also learned this from experience at Gunma Corporation."

The hot breath tickled her ear, and Tsunade tilted her head uncomfortably.

Hearing him mention Gunma Corporation immediately reminded me that this guy was incredibly clever a long time ago.

"elder sister."

Natsume suddenly turned the Hokage chair around so that Tsunade was facing him.

"What's wrong?"

A look of confusion crossed her face.

"Your birthday present was a bit rushed, so I'm giving you a second one."

Natsume knelt on one knee and took out a diamond ring.

Diamonds exist in the ninja world.

In the original work, at Naruto's wedding, the wealthy woman Tenten gave him a blue crystal kunai with colored diamonds.

His heroic spirit soared to the heavens.

Tsunade did not show any shyness like a young girl, but instead smiled brightly.

She stretched out her hand and spread her fingers.

Natsume grasped her left wrist and slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

This diamond ring isn't very big; it's mainly for easy carrying.

The Flying Thunder God mark is engraved beneath the diamond.

Although Tsunade didn't know he knew the Flying Thunder God Technique yet, she definitely had to get one for safety's sake.

Moreover, diamond rings have special meaning in a past life.

Wearing it on the ring finger signifies that you are married.

"Thanks."

Tsunade got up and hugged him, leaning against him affectionately, and said, "I really like this gift."

"I also like the gift you gave me."

Natsume put his arm around her slender waist and said.

"When did I ever give it to you...?"

Tsunade was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly looked up, rolled her eyes, and cursed, "Bastard!"

She already understood what Natsume meant by the gift.

On her birthday, she truly gave her the most precious gift.

"Can you please stop ruining the mood so easily?"

Still not satisfied, Tsunade clenched her fist and punched Natsume in the back.

She didn't use much force, but instead hugged him even tighter.

The next moment, she pushed Natsume away angrily.

"Thinking about something naughty again!"

Tsunade sat back down in the Hokage's chair, arms crossed, and said with a rather domineering air, "If there's nothing else, go home and wait!"

Natsume thought to himself, "She's definitely no ordinary woman."

Unfortunately, Tsunade is still quite traditional and doesn't dare to do it in the Hokage's office.

"There's one more thing."

Natsume cleared his mind of distractions and reminded her, "Sister, now that you've become Hokage, you should form the Hokage Guard."

"I don't need protection."

Tsunade refused without hesitation, "I'd have to protect them then, it's too much trouble."

"That's true, but you have a guard, and you can order them around."

Natsume explained, "Besides, even with the Anbu, you need to cultivate your own loyal followers."

Tsunade fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

That was something she hadn't considered thoroughly.

How so?

She had just become Hokage and was not yet familiar with the power struggles and intrigues.

"Then you'll become the Hokage's bodyguard?"

Tsunade looked up, her bright brown eyes filled with anticipation.

As the Hokage's bodyguard, he can stay by her side anytime, anywhere, which is really great.

Natsume, of course, wouldn't agree; he was too busy.

"Too boring, not for me. I do have someone in mind, how about Kakashi Hatake or Might Guy?"

Although Matt Kay can easily change his art style, his skill is undeniable.

Kakashi Hatake is evenly matched with anyone, while he always manages to trade one for one with anyone.

Even Madara Uchiha almost fell for it.

Furthermore, once Might Guy becomes Tsunade's bodyguard, Natsume will have a reason to let her learn the Eight Gates.

If she could acquire Shennong's two forbidden medical techniques later, her strength would be greatly enhanced.

Yin Seal, Hundred Healing Technique, Body Activation, Body Regeneration, and Eight Gates Formation.

Just thinking about it is exciting... cough cough, terrifying.

Natsume thought to himself that only his immortal body could withstand this relentless onslaught.

"Hmm, let's add Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune-nee to the mix."

It won't work if it's just men.

Although Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy aren't interested in women, just in case, let's mute someone and have them act as a mole.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade stroked her chin and began to ponder.

Leaving aside Shizune, none of the other three have ever served as Jonin leaders.

Kakashi Hatake became a student, but he had no students to mentor.

After thinking about it, it seems quite suitable.

"We can let them give it a try."

Tsunade finally agreed to Natsume's suggestion.

"I'll go and inform them."

Natsume stopped at the door and said, "Sister, I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Stop talking so much nonsense!"

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat, but she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Get to work!"

Natsume left the Hokage Building.

There's no need to ask her to be quiet; she'll definitely agree.

In the original work, she held multiple positions: apprentice, bodyguard, secretary, and general helper.

The first person Natsume went to see was Kurenai Yuhi.

She readily agreed.

Kurenai Yuhi comes from a genjutsu ninja clan, but it is not a large one.

Theoretically, members of the Hokage Guard could become Hokage.

For example, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At the very least, one could try to climb into the middle or upper echelons of Konoha.

The remaining two are Might Guy and Kakashi Hatake.

In the original story, neither of them ever married or had children; they were practically best buddies, destined to be together forever.

Natsume glanced at the sky; it was just dusk, and Might Guy should be training outside the village at this time.

He walked into the Forest of Death, and while no one was around, he activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and quickly found his target.

"Three hundred and twenty-one! Three hundred and twenty-two! Three hundred and twenty-three!"

A powerful and youthful voice reached Natsume's ears.

Matt Kay, dressed in a green bodysuit, was seen running upside down.

They ran while counting.

"Hey, sir!"

Natsume called out.

"Hey, young stranger, what brings you here?"

Matt Kay ran toward him upside down.

This scene was truly bizarre.

"The Hokage has given you orders."

Natsume raised an eyebrow and said.

"What?! Hokage-sama!"

Might Guy immediately leaped into the air, spinning 360 degrees before landing, and asked excitedly, "The Hokage is looking for me?"

Because of his father Might Day's achievements, he gained the attention of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, his personality was indeed a problem for ninjas, so most of the missions he was assigned were direct combat.

In reality, for ninjas, infiltration and assassination missions are the most common.

But who would dare to let him carry it out?

Compared to Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy seemed to have more free time.

He applied to join the Anbu, but was rejected by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He also applied to join the Root organization, but was rejected by Danzo Shimura.

I have so much passion to burn, but nowhere to release it.

It's normal to be excited right now.

"The Hokage wishes to appoint you as his bodyguard..."

Before Natsume could finish speaking, Might Guy burst into tears.

"Waaaaah! The Hokage actually made me his bodyguard! I'm so touched! My youth is burning like crazy!"

With a roar, he declared, "Training time tripled today! I'm off!"

"..."

Natsume watched his departing figure, speechless for a moment.

I haven't finished speaking yet!

He couldn't help but smile. As expected of a rare beast of Konoha.

Actually, Matt Kay is very suitable to be a subordinate.

Strong and loyal.

It's just that her personality is too unconventional.

Natsume could already foresee the complete change in the style of the Hokage Building.

He turned back to Konoha Village and eventually found him at Kakashi Hatake's house.

"Please come in."

Kakashi Hatake sat on the windowsill, holding a copy of "Icha Icha Paradise" and flipping through it.

Natsume suspected that he wore a mask to hide his blushing.

"Natsume?"

Kakashi Hatake glanced at it and asked, "What do you need me for?"

"The Hokage wants you to be his bodyguard."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake fell silent upon hearing this.

Because of his status, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, and now Tsunade have all taken good care of him.

But he really didn't have any particular interest in it.

"I've already become a Jonin leading a team, so I'm afraid I don't have time."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head, which was a tacit refusal.

"You don't have any good students right now, do you?"

Natsume offered a condition: "If you become the Hokage's bodyguard, I'll make you Sasuke Uchiha's teacher. What do you say?"

Kakashi Hatake was immediately tempted.

In Konoha today, the most suitable person to be his disciple is none other than Uchiha Sasuke.

Because he has Sharingan.

Kakashi Hatake also worked with Itachi Uchiha and was quite familiar with his genius.

As his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke was no less capable.

Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

He became the team leader because he had the idea of ​​taking on apprentices.

He found it hard to refuse such a promising talent.

[Because of your actions, the fates of Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Kakashi Hatake, and Sasuke Uchiha have changed. You have gained a total of 37 Fate Points.]

There are very few.

It's no later than 10 o'clock.

That's normal, though.

Indeed, their fate remained unchanged.

By the time Natsume finished his business, it was already getting dark.

He returned home.

There was no one there at all.

Natsume has to cook for himself.

Not long after.

Tsunade opened the door, changed her shoes, and took off her divine robe.

Not seeing Jingyin, she immediately knew that she must be working overtime at Konoha Hospital.

She smiled and went to the kitchen.

Natsume, who was cooking, fell into a warm embrace.

What are we eating today?

Tsunade, having relinquished her duties as Hokage, became extremely lazy.

She leaned on his shoulder, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Natsume turned and put his arm around her waist, asking, "What...what do you think?"

Tsunade didn't react at first, but soon her bright brown eyes softened, and blushes appeared one after another.

Natsume picked her up and placed her on the kitchen counter, saying, "Your cooking skills are so bad, watch carefully and learn well. If you don't understand the first time, I'll teach you a few more times."

"Do you want to die?"

Tsunade was furious and embarrassed.

She raised her long, slender legs, unclad in stockings, and launched a fierce offensive, her love as strong as a seven-day bond.

Natsume gasped.

What a bad woman.

She just said one bad thing, and she was so heartless, not caring at all whether he would get hurt.

But Natsume's current strength is extraordinary.

Tsunade only ended up trapping herself.

So the next day, the Hokage, who had just taken a day off, took another day off.

Fortunately, the Hokage's secretariat was already in place, so it didn't delay Konoha's important affairs.

Four thousand words, the third and fourth updates.
