Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 157 Son of the Fourth Hokage

Natsume arrived at the Hokage's office, and after confirming that no one else was inside, he pushed open the door and entered.

"Sister, I miss you so much."

He dashed up behind her, reached out and hugged her, sniffing her golden hair as he did so.

It smells a bit good.

It smells like shampoo.

We just met this morning.

Tsunade stopped what she was doing, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "What's there to think about?"

I miss you even for a second.

Natsume chuckled, walked around to her side, and squeezed into the Hokage-themed soft chair with her.

"Let's get down to business first."

Tsunade grabbed his mischievous hand and shoved a document into his hand.

The cover has four big characters: Naruto Uzumaki.

Feeling the warmth emanating from her body, Natsume opened the documents.

The first part is an introduction to Naruto Uzumaki's parents, namely Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

He paused slightly, probably already guessing what Tsunade was planning to do.

Turning to the second part, we find Naruto Uzumaki's own experiences, from birth to the present.

However, there were no major developments; it was only two pages long.

In the end, it was the legacy of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

The former, in particular, served as Hokage and carried out a wide variety of missions, leaving behind a rich legacy.

In the original work, it has clearly been taken over by Konoha.

"Sister, do you want to reveal Naruto's identity as the Fourth Hokage's son?"

Natsume put down the documents and asked.

He didn't mention the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, since that was indeed quite dangerous.

Naruto Uzumaki's strength is not enough right now.

Furthermore, the revelation that he is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki has already turned his situation around.

"You understand your sister best."

Tsunade reached out and pinched his cheek, asking, "How do you feel?"

She had mentioned it before, when Koharu and Homura were in the dorm, but it was met with strong opposition.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi disagreed.

In their view, this was far too ostentatious.

When Tsunade questioned why she spread rumors about the fox spirit, she shifted the blame to Shimura Danzo.

Now that only Natsume remained, there was no longer any resistance.

She increasingly felt that rebuilding the Konoha Police Department was a brilliant move; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to bring down those three old men.

"Of course I support my sister!"

Without any hesitation, Natsume said, "Konoha has indeed let Naruto down."

"Um."

Tsunade shoved the documents back into his hands and said, "You take care of this."

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

He immediately understood what Tsunade meant.

As we all know, Minato Namikaze was able to become Hokage largely because of Kushina Uzumaki.

In other words, the better you are at getting along with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the closer you are to becoming Hokage.

Tsunade is paving the way for him.

Danzo Shimura was furious.

Why didn't he encounter a Hokage like that?

"OK."

Natsume nodded and did not refuse.

Becoming Hokage and accumulating some Destiny Points is certainly an option.

After all, if he were the Sixth Hokage, then Kakashi Hatake would most likely not be able to become Hokage as he did in the original work.

"Go."

Tsunade lowered her head and kissed his forehead.

Before she could even lift her head, Natsume quickly covered her mouth with his tongue.

"It's sweet."

Natsume had a wistful look on his face before Tsunade kicked him out of the room.

"Natsume-kun, are you alright?"

Yamanaka Ino quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"It's nothing, I just tripped and fell."

Natsume released her arm and asked, "Are you getting ready to leave work?"

"No, I'm planning to go back to school."

Ino Yamanaka explained, "I asked Iruka-sensei for a week's leave last time, and it's already over today, so I have to ask for leave again."

"Oh, wait a moment, let's go together."

Natsume turned and went into the Hokage's secretary's office.

Yamanaka Ino was a little confused and hadn't reacted yet.

After regaining his senses, he clenched his fists and a smile of excitement spread across his face.

Ino's great victory!

Hmph, Sakura, you're doomed!

Although the two no longer competed for Uchiha Sasuke, they set up a new rivalry to demonstrate their friendship.

That is, whoever wins over the person they like first.

"Uncle Hizashi, please spread this message throughout the village."

Natsume naturally wouldn't run errands himself; that would be too tedious.

"no problem."

Hyuga Hizashi hadn't even seen it yet, but he had already agreed.

It wasn't that he trusted Natsume too much, but rather that as the Hokage's secretary, this was his job.

He only showed a surprised expression after he opened it.

He certainly knew Naruto's identity, but he didn't expect Tsunade to reveal it.

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, this new Hokage is clearly more charismatic.

For a moment, he had a lot of conflicting thoughts.

Is it feasible for the Hokage to intervene in the affairs of the Hyuga branch family?

"Have you been waiting long?"

Natsume didn't talk much with Hyuga Hizashi, but after giving his instructions, he hurried to find the girl waiting at the door.

"no."

Yamanaka Ino shook her head and walked out alongside him.

As she walked, she kept glancing at Natsume out of the corner of her eye.

He's so handsome it's impossible not to be amazed!

"Is something wrong?"

Natsume noticed her gaze and asked.

"no."

Yamanaka Ino blushed and quickly looked away.

Has Sasuke been discharged from the hospital?

Natsume changed the subject and asked.

After being knocked unconscious by Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha was taken to Konoha Hospital.

Sakura said he has already gone home.

Yamanaka Ino, looking indignant, said, "How despicable! I wonder who did it!"

"Ino cares a lot about Sasuke."

Natsume said casually.

"no!"

Ino Yamanaka quickly explained, "I was just concerned for my classmate, it's definitely not because I like Sasuke!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

They wanted to escape Konoha as quickly as possible.

The blush on her face spread to her ears.

Yamanaka Ino stammered, "Um... I didn't mean anything by it."

"What do you mean?"

Natsume feigned confusion and asked.

"..."

Yamanaka Ino even felt like dying, how could this be?

"arrive."

Natsume stopped teasing her and asked, "I'm going to find Naruto, what about you?"

"I'm going to ask for leave!"

Yamanaka Ino took two steps forward, then quickened her pace, appearing quite eager.

Natsume withdrew his gaze and turned to Class 3-A.

After waiting a while, it was time to let out of school.

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly snapped back to reality.

His attitude towards class now can be summed up in two words: slacking off.

Because the teachers at the Ninja Academy are nowhere near as good as Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

It's better to learn in the sealed space than to attend a class.

"Natsume-nii-san."

Naruto immediately noticed a familiar figure at the door and quickly went forward.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Natsume sensed the strange looks from those around him, so he went to the playground with him.

"This is... a passbook?"

Naruto Uzumaki took the notebook, opened it, and immediately looked surprised. "So...so many zeros!"

He had never seen so much money before.

"It was left to you by your parents."

Natsume patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep it safe, and remember not to be tricked by any strange immortals."

He was referring to Jiraiya.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki is actually a very shrewd and calculating ninja.

Unfortunately, all the money he saved was taken by Jiraiya and he went missing.

But think about it, right now, there's absolutely no way Kushina Uzumaki would let Naruto Uzumaki learn from her.

After all, a normal woman wouldn't like such a clumsy old man.

"Mom and Dad?"

Naruto Uzumaki never expected that the item left by Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki was actually left behind.

However, since the two of them are in the sealed space, it would be quite easy for them to find out if it's true or false.

"I can't remember how many tasks I've done."

Minato Namikaze scratched his head and said, "There should be that much money."

Kushina Uzumaki, however, reacted differently. She clenched her fists, quite furious, and said, "The Third Hokage! He actually embezzled our inheritance?!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto's expression changed.

He genuinely thought Hiruzen Sarutobi was a good person, but he never expected him to be a werewolf.

No matter how optimistic he is, influenced by his parents and with so much irrefutable evidence, his favorability has dropped to its lowest point.

"There's one more thing."

Natsume looked at him and said, "From today onwards, you are no longer a demon fox, but the son of the Fourth Hokage."

Naruto Uzumaki immediately looked up, appearing quite surprised and shocked.

He had already learned about the meaning of Jinchuriki from Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, so he could roughly understand what revealing his identity meant.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a great deal of trust in Tsunade, whom he had hardly ever met.

This is the real Hokage.

He will be his role model from now on.

"As expected of Lady Tsunade!"

Kushina Uzumaki smiled with satisfaction.

Although she had a close relationship with Tsunade, she was still deeply moved at this moment.

Especially compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he is simply too outstanding.

Minato Namikaze laughed upon hearing this.

If he had entrusted the Nine-Tails' rampage to Tsunade instead of Hiruzen Sarutobi, perhaps many things wouldn't have happened.

Even Konoha wouldn't be in such a state.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late.

the next day.

The news of Naruto's true identity spread throughout Konoha Village.

Countless villagers and ninjas who had ostracized or harmed him found it hard to accept.

It's hard for people to admit their mistakes.

Some people expressed their apologies when they saw Naruto again.

But many people adopted an ostrich tactic, simply avoiding the issue altogether.

[Because of your actions, Naruto's fate has changed. You have gained 49 Fate Points.]

This was Natsume's greatest achievement.

With this money, Naruto Uzumaki could live a much better life.

Since he is the protagonist, he has contributed a lot of fate points.

The Sarutobi clan's stronghold.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is fishing.

"Old man, you seem to be taking it easy."

Sarutobi Asuma sat down next to him in a very casual manner.

"It's nothing, I learned it from the two advisors from Sunagakure."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his pipe and asked, "Did you need something?"

Chiyo and Ebizo, the two advisors of Sunagakure, were very willing to relinquish power and simply went to live in seclusion.

Unlike the two advisors of Konoha Village, who are old but still hold power.

"Lady Tsunade has revealed Naruto's identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage."

Sarutobi Asuma looked at the pool and said, "She looks a lot like you when you were young."

"Tsunade has indeed changed a lot since becoming Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi instinctively felt something was wrong, but he couldn't care less now, and finally said, "She did a good job."

As September arrived, the temperature in the Land of Fire dropped considerably.

But even in the Land of Waves, the heat of summer can still be felt.

Natsume sat in the conference room of the Destiny Organization, waiting for the arrival of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Izumi.

"Remember to clean it thoroughly."

Mikoto Uchiha knelt on the floor, head bowed, cleaning up.

Hearing Natsume's words, he ignored them and focused intently on his work.

Not long after, Uchiha Shisui entered the conference room.

He didn't see Uchiha Mikoto under the table.

Logically, he should have been able to notice it.

However, Natsume spent some Destiny Points to temporarily conceal the existence of Uchiha Mikoto.

But she didn't know.

When Uchiha Shisui arrived, she couldn't help but tremble all over, including her teeth.

Natsume stretched, looking quite refreshed, and asked, "Shisui, where's Izumi?"

"She went to the seaside to cultivate herself, so things will be a bit slower."

As Uchiha Shisui spoke, he sat down opposite him.

"You're really diligent."

Natsume remarked with emotion.

Since the night of the Uchiha clan massacre, Uchiha Izumi has been training almost non-stop, except for eating and sleeping.

Their diligence is outrageous.

However, Mikoto Uchiha hasn't been doing too badly lately.

When they go crazy, they become completely unrecognizable from their former selves.

It was as if this could cover up the shame in her heart.

A knock came at the door.

Uchiha Izumi walked straight into the conference room, bowed, and said, "Sorry I'm a step late."

"It's okay."

Natsume let out a breath and said, "Shisui, start explaining the situation."

"We have discovered Shennong disguised as a doctor."

Uchiha Shisui replied, "As you instructed, we carried out an assassination attempt on him, deliberately leaving clues that he has returned to the ruins of the Hidden Void Village."

"good."

Natsume went to such great lengths because he wanted to know if the fortress was completed and what its power was.

In addition, the current storyline is set a few years earlier than the original work.

It would be a real shame if it couldn't be used.

After all, who wouldn't like to have a flying fortress?

"Go and get ready, we're leaving tomorrow."

Natsume waved his hand.

End of the meeting.

Although the two had to leave soon after arriving, they did not complain at all.

Strength is paramount.

Besides, Natsume was their savior.

Both morally and logically, one should be loyal.

After they left, Mikoto Uchiha stood up and wiped the water off her hands.

Natsume glanced at the floor; it was quite clean.

"Well done."

"Thanks."

Mikoto Uchiha swallowed nervously and said, "I will work even harder in the future."

Natsume patted her head and said, "Go wash up."

After she left, he returned to Konoha.

the next day.

Natsume has arrived in the Land of Waves again.

Uchiha Shisui had already organized a team of nine ninjas, including himself and Uchiha Izumi.

Their strength is average; there are two Jonin and seven Chunin.

But that's enough.

Natsume didn't ask them to fight; he only needed to control the aerial fortress.

It is worth mentioning that one of the Jonin was Uchiha Mikoto.

She volunteered to join the fight, wanting to gain more combat experience.

Otherwise, even if he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he wouldn't be a match for Itachi Uchiha.

Natsume didn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique, since it wasn't far anyway, only half a day's journey.

It would be nice for him to take this opportunity to enjoy the scenery.

On the way, Natsume once again experienced Uchiha Izumi's diligence, as she continued to train.

I just don't know when she'll be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In terms of talent, she is far superior to Uchiha Mikoto.

Therefore, Natsume doesn't need to worry about it.

Who knows, he might awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan someday.

All that's missing now is the right opportunity.

"Natsume, it's right here."

Uchiha Shisui stopped and said, "In this rainforest, there is a small village where Shennong usually rests."

Natsume recalled the plot.

This seems to be the source of Zero-Tails' power, the so-called Dark Chakra.

It is the chakra that comes from the darkness deep within people's hearts.

In his view, it was a type of Yin escape.

"Let's go."

Natsume formed hand seals and summoned several giant trees.

Uchiha Shisui took out a knife, cut them apart, and made them into a boat.

The group immediately boarded the boat and headed into the depths of the rainforest.

Uchiha Izumi stood at the bow of the ship.

She dealt with many ferocious beasts in the rainforest.

Just then, she looked up and said, "There is someone in the sky."

Natsume had actually sensed it long ago.

This is what is known as "empty endurance".

They patrol the sky, encased in a device similar to a paraglider.

Few attacks can reach this distance.

Moreover, there are almost no ninjutsu or bloodline limits in the ninja world that allow flight.

Of course, this doesn't mean that being passive and resilient is invincible.

Otherwise, how could they have been destroyed?

"I'll do it."

Uchiha Shisui pulled out a scroll and quickly threw out several huge Fuma Shuriken.

At the same time, people instantly appeared, stepping on them and soaring upwards.

The ninja in the sky had just noticed the Fuma Shuriken when he saw a pair of blood-red eyes, and then nothing more.

Uchiha Shisui returned to the ship, threw the Sky Ninja overboard, and asked, "Where is Shennong?"

The young man, already controlled by the Mangekyou Sharingan, immediately replied, "At Yuru's house."

"Let him lead the way for us."

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

Yu Liu is Shennong's apprentice and the female lead in this theatrical version.

A girl with red hair and reddish skin.

Naruto has produced many theatrical versions, and almost every one of them features a female protagonist.

Among them, the most well-known is Feng Hua Xiao Xue.

Maybe it's because she's pretty.

Yu Liu, obviously, doesn't have much of a reputation.

But at least he's a supporting character with a name and a role, the kind who can contribute points.

Interestingly, Naruto Uzumaki is very popular with women in the movie.

She received all sorts of confessions of love and kisses.

Yu Liu is one of them.

With the help of the young guides, Natsume and his companions arrived at a village deep in the rainforest.

"Lord Shennong."

He knocked on the door and said, "I've brought you a guest."

"What...?"

Shennong opened the door, his gaze sharpened, and he instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Natsume and the others didn't try to disguise themselves much; they were clearly ninjas.

He looked at the young man in front of him with a puzzled expression. "What did you bring back?"

No, that's not right.

This is being controlled.

Shennong remained calm and asked, "May I ask what business you have with me?"

"I'm demanding payment from you."

Natsume casually said, "Three days ago, you injured one of my men, so you need to pay compensation."

Shennong's face darkened immediately upon hearing this.

He rushed back because he knew someone was plotting against Zero Tail after the assassination attempt three days ago.

I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

Five thousand words.
