Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 150 Natsume, the Master of the Bathhouse

"What you're saying sounds familiar."

Tsunade stretched out her soft, warm hands and angrily ruffled Natsume's hair, pinching his cheeks into various shapes, and complained, "Why did you have to learn Danzo of all things?"

During the time when Hiruzen Sarutobi was Hokage, she often heard him arguing with Danzo Shimura.

It always ends with the phrase "You regret it, I'll be furious," which is very memorable.

"Don't worry, the two of us are definitely better than the two of them."

Natsume crossed his arms and cradled her soft bottom through her clothes, laughing, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female'?"

"Where did you get all these twisted arguments?"

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Who did you learn that from?"

"That's called self-taught."

Natsume raised his chin and said smugly, "So, I'm a genius. You really made a good deal by picking me up."

Tsunade didn't answer. She pursed her lips, leaned on his shoulder, and felt a strange sense of peace.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Natsume tilted his head slightly to the right, glancing at her delicate face out of the corner of his eye, and asked.

"Go home quickly."

Tsunade moved her head slightly, pressed her lips to his, and said.

"Yes, sir!"

Natsume licked his lips and immediately began to speed up.

After the battle with Danzo Shimura and others, it was already dusk, so there was no need to go back to the Hokage Building; I could go straight home.

When they reached the village entrance, Tsunade originally intended to get off.

But Natsume simply scaled the walls and rooftops, avoiding all the crowd, which put her at ease.

Their relationship cannot be made public for the time being, to avoid criticism.

"Open the door."

Natsume stood at the door and spoke.

He can't free his hands right now.

Tsunade nodded, took out her key, and opened the door.

She shifted her body a few times and said, "Put me down."

Now that they were home, Natsume wasn't in a hurry. He let go of her hand, and Tsunade landed on the ground again.

"I wonder if Shizune is back yet?"

Just as Tsunade was about to bend down to change her shoes, she saw Natsume already squatting in front of her and grabbing her ankle.

This time she did not refuse and let him do as he pleased.

"Tsunade-sama... I'm sorry, I didn't see anything."

Upon hearing the sound, Shizune immediately turned and left.

Tsunade froze, her face slightly flushed, and kicked Natsume, somewhat annoyed: "Do you want to die?"

Even though Shizune already knew about their relationship, she still felt embarrassed.

After all, her identity is unusual.

Natsume grabbed her bare feet, touched them, and laughed, "What are you afraid of? Shizune-nee won't say anything."

After he changed his shoes, Tsunade flicked his forehead and said irritably, "It's all your fault! You're so heartless!"

Natsume was stunned. He had just become the Hokage's assistant today, and he was already being blamed?

Oh no, the second-generation pot shadow is actually myself?

In the living room, Jingyin was watching TV, looking obedient and well-behaved.

After noticing the two people, she said, "Lady Tsunade, your orders have been fulfilled."

She was referring to the fact that Shimura Danzo was classified as an S-rank rogue ninja.

"Yes, if you find any trace of him, report it to me immediately."

Tsunade remained composed, displaying the dignified expression befitting a Hokage.

Natsume was itching to try it.

It's a pity that Jingyin is here acting as a third wheel; otherwise, the nightlife could have officially begun.

After dinner.

Silently go wash the dishes.

It's impossible for Tsunade and Natsume to eat and then go to sleep.

The former continued working; tonight's events were far from over.

The latter arrived at the courtyard, but did not practice ninjutsu.

How so?

Natsume's strength has actually reached its limit.

However, in order to make it more believable for Tsunade, he continued to pretend to practice ninjutsu.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

Natsume first went to the analysis class to erase the traces of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and then went to the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hyuga lay obediently on the bed, her two little paws sticking out and gripping the sheets, but she wasn't asleep.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, her eyes vacant, lost in thought.

A moment later, the sound of wind could be heard in the room.

Hinata Hyuga immediately propped herself up and sat up, excitedly calling out, "Natsume-nii-san!"

What do you want to eat tonight?

Natsume reached out and touched her hair, asking with a smile.

Hinata Hyuga was wearing a thin, opaque black blouse, which, combined with her appearance, made her look quite cute.

In the original work, her clothing consisted of traditional, conservative long shirts and trousers, which was related to the rules of the Hyuga clan and her personality.

Natsume won't change anything about her, because she's fine.

If all girls have the same style, it will lead to aesthetic fatigue.

"drumstick."

Hinata Hyuga answered without hesitation, her bangs revealing her forehead as she tilted her head. "Natsume-nii, are we going to buy it now?"

"No need, it's in your kitchen."

After Natsume had a friendly conversation with Hiashi Hyuga, he obtained the right to use the kitchen.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga stared wide-eyed, her adorable eyes wide with a look of shock.

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to your father."

Natsume looked at her expression and couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

Hinata Hyuga blushed instantly, but she didn't faint, which shows she has made great progress.

More accurately, it's a habit.

"Wait a moment."

Natsume opened the door and went straight to the kitchen.

Because it was night, there was no one there.

However, he was discovered as soon as he opened fire.

Two Hyuga guards immediately surrounded him.

Natsume took out Hiashi Hyuga's warrant and handed it to them.

"...?"

Both Hyuga guards simultaneously showed bewildered expressions.

That's so weird!

The Hyuga clan head gave an outsider a warrant that allowed him to use the Hyuga family's kitchen.

But the handwriting and family crest on it couldn't be fake.

The two bowed slightly and then turned to leave.

"Natsume?"

Not long after, another person, or rather two people, entered the kitchen.

Hinata Rinka, holding Hinata Hanabi, looked at the busy Natsume with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing here?"

"Cooking".

Natsume answered without changing his expression, and then asked, "Aunt Rinka, it's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Hinata Hanabi.

However, she is currently a baby and doesn't resemble the character in the original work at all.

"...?"

Hinata Rinka tilted her head.

Why does it feel like the Hyuga clan has become his home?

"The fireworks were so loud earlier that I didn't have time for dinner, so I came here to grab something to eat."

Hinata Rinka still answered Natsume's question.

She was not a pampered noblewoman, but a virtuous wife and loving mother.

She prepares all three meals a day.

Natsume felt that women from the Hyuga clan seemed to be quite gentle and kind.

Perhaps it's because of their strict rules, making them more aristocratic than ninjas.

In fact, although the Hyuga clan belongs to Konoha, even the Hokage cannot interfere in their internal affairs.

The simplest example is that Hyuga clan ninjas never appear in the Anbu or Root.

The main branch of the family has a small number of members, so there's nothing we can do about it.

The reason for the split was the "Caged Bird Seal," which the Konoha leadership dared not use.

In short, within the Hyuga clan, the clan itself is more important than Konoha.

However, they are not like the Uchiha clan, who tend to cause trouble. They are very intelligent and obedient.

The Hokage simply let it be.

"Aunt Rinka, what would you like to eat? Please order whatever you like."

Natsume pointed to the refrigerator and said, "You haven't tried my cooking yet, have you? You can try it; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Hinata Rinka showed a hint of interest and smiled, "I don't have any special requirements, just do what you're doing now."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Natsume turned around and continued working on his chicken leg.

"You wouldn't be saving this for Hinata, would you?"

Hinata Rinka leaned closer to take a look and couldn't help but ask, "Now Hinata's favorite food is chicken legs."

Besides, it would be too strange for Natsume to suddenly appear in the Hyuga clan's kitchen.

After thinking it over, the only thing that can be related to Hinata is this.

Young people these days are really audacious!

Rinka Hyuga was unaware that Hiashi Hyuga had already agreed and assumed he had sneaked in.

However, as a woman, she actually thought these behaviors were quite nice, even a bit romantic.

It will be even better in a few years.

Hinata Hyuga doesn't understand anything right now and is too easily fooled.

Especially a handsome guy like Natsume, he's even more irresistible.

What should I do if I get scammed?

"Um."

Natsume nodded and admitted, "I just came to check on things."

Who would sneak into a girl's room late at night?

Rinka Hyuga thought to herself, if he weren't the Hokage's apprentice, he would have been beaten to death by the Hyuga clan long ago.

Natsume made fried chicken legs, following the recipe for tempura, and added a lot of vegetables. She also cooked porridge.

Tempura is a dish made by deep-frying vegetables in batter.

It is a typical Japanese dish.

Since it was evening, Natsume didn't dress too greasy.

Not long after, a plate of tempura was ready.

"Aunt Rinka, please try some."

After handing her the bowl and chopsticks, Natsume continued frying chicken legs.

Hinata Hyuga wouldn't have enough to eat with just this much food.

"Wow, this is delicious!"

Hinata Rinka took a bite and chewed slowly.

A moment later, an indescribable aroma exploded in her mouth, making her taste buds tremble.

Because it was so delicious, she rarely lost her composure and showed an expression of amazement.

She put down her chopsticks, picked up the porridge spoon, took a sip, and her eyes lit up again. Her stomach felt warm and cozy, dispelling the chill of the night.

"That's really good."

While eating, Hinata Rinka asked, "Where did you learn that?"

"I just followed the recipe."

Natsume gave a perfunctory reply.

"I never knew you had such a talent for cooking."

Hinata Rinka noticed that he was still throwing chicken legs into the pot, so she said, "Hinata has a small appetite, so you don't need to prepare so many, lest she get an upset stomach."

"I ate it myself."

Natsume thought for a moment, but did not reveal Hinata Hyuga's secret.

Yes, it's a secret that only he knows.

Moreover, sharing a common secret will make the relationship even closer.

Hinata Rinka didn't ask any more questions. After finishing her meal, she carried Hinata Hanabi back to her room to rest.

Natsume made tempura for twenty people before leaving the kitchen.

Hinata Hyuga's eating manners are exactly the same as Rinka Hyuga's, both being very elegant.

Even with a large amount of food, they remained calm and unhurried.

It is pleasing to the eye.

Even without chatting, Natsume felt he could watch for a long time without getting bored.

"Go to sleep."

After Hinata finished eating, Natsume stood up, patted her head, and said, "See you tomorrow."

It was almost midnight when I got home.

He opened the door; the hall was empty, but there was the sound of rushing water.

Natsume formed hand seals and performed a basic sensory ninjutsu.

Yes, it is indeed Tsunade inside, not Shizune.

Otherwise, rushing in recklessly could lead to serious problems.

Natsume used his stealth skills, which were even more proficient than Old Wang's, to silently approach the bathroom.

He grabbed the handle, twisted it, and sure enough, it wasn't locked.

After all, there are only two people in the family.

Tsunade can't defend against Shizune, nor can she defend against him.

Natsume quietly opened the door.

What came into view was mist.

But it doesn't block his view.

Tsunade was lying in the bathtub, and perhaps she had been soaking for a while, as her fair skin appeared quite rosy.

She stopped rubbing the bubbles abruptly and said, "Come in."

Natsume entered the bathroom and locked the door from the inside.

"A shower is fine, but nothing else is up for discussion."

Tsunade glared at him and said.

"I'll do whatever you say."

Natsume's eyes are glowing red. Don't misunderstand, it's not the Sharingan, it's just that he's gotten really angry.

After a long while.

Tsunade frowned, biting her finger, and said, "Men, not a single word they say is true."

Her gesture made her already flushed face even more pitiful and charming.

The water in the bathtub churned again.

"Damn it! I'm the Hokage!"

Tsunade said angrily.

"So what?"

Natsume raised his head, a fierce expression on his face. "I told you you'd regret this!"

"I...have...to...go...to...work!"

Tsunade spoke slowly and deliberately, raising her voice to express the hardships of working people.

As the Hokage's assistant, Natsume had no choice but to obey the Hokage's orders.

After all, she's his boss.

early morning.

Tsunade opened her eyes groggily.

She stretched and felt a wave of fatigue.

Unlike Uzumaki Ena, she never uses the Yin Seal unless it is a matter of life and death.

the reason is simple.

If too much chakra is used after the Yin seal is broken, it will cause her considerable loss.

That's why she looked extremely unwilling.

"Why should someone from a branch of the Senju clan, so incredibly distant, awaken my grandfather's constitution?"

Logically speaking, the closer the bloodline, the easier it is to awaken.

Unfortunately, Tsunade did not inherit Hashirama Senju's Sage Body.

After Natsume exchanged for the Sage Body, he couldn't explain its origin, so he said it was due to bloodline tracing.

It is possible.

For example, the bloodline limit of the Kurama clan is awakened only once every few generations.

As for Kurama Yakumo, Tsunade has already examined her and doesn't have any good solutions for the time being, so she can only help her nourish her body.

At the same time, just like in the original work, Kurenai Yuhi is made her teacher.

"Isn't that amazing?"

Natsume asked with a smile.

"You're not allowed to go to the Hokage Building today!"

Tsunade blushed, changed her clothes, and fled in panic.

"...?"

Natsume was stunned for a moment, then snapped angrily, "You bad woman, you broke your promise!"

You were scared when we agreed to spar in the Hokage's office?

You're unworthy to be Hokage!

"In a couple of days."

Tsunade's voice suddenly came over.

"Alright."
