Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 160 Danzo's Wandering Journey

Natsume and Mikoto Uchiha spent an hour exploring the ruins of the Hidden Village before deciding to leave.

Although the scenery was nice, it wasn't much to see due to the damage from the previous fight.

An hour is already considered quite a long time.

This is especially true for Mikoto Uchiha's frail body.

So the two ended their sightseeing trip early.

Exhausted, Mikoto Uchiha tripped and fell, tearing her kimono.

Natsume carried her back to the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Waves.

[Because of your actions, Shennong's fate has changed; you have gained fifty points of Fate Value.]

[Because of your actions, Mikoto Uchiha's fate has changed. You have gained 69 Fate Points.]

[Because of your actions, Danzo Shimura's fate has changed; you have gained nine points of Fate Value.]

Why is there still something about Shimura Danzo?

But nine o'clock is far too short.

What was he doing outside?

"have a good rest."

Natsume thought for a moment and then patted Uchiha Mikoto's head.

Her hair is very smooth, and so is she.

"Um."

Mikoto Uchiha answered somewhat embarrassedly.

After Natsume left, her eyes gradually became confused.

Although she had convinced herself, she knew that this behavior was a betrayal.

This is especially true for the deceased Uchiha Fugaku.

But that feeling of freedom and indulgence was something I had never experienced before.

And it's powerful.

Mikoto Uchiha looked up at the setting sun outside the window.

A moment later, he held his hand to his nose and took a gentle sniff.

The familiar scent above completely drained her strength, and she lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.

The office not far away.

Natsume knocked on the door and entered.

"elder brother."

Karin immediately ran up and complained, "You haven't played with me in so long."

"What about Tayuya?"

Natsume picked her up and asked, "Didn't she stay with you?"

"Yes, she does, but she cultivates every day; she's too diligent, and I don't want to bother her."

Karin suddenly turned serious and asked, "Brother, did you do something? She keeps talking about you."

"Is he just mentioning me?"

Natsume laughed and asked.

Given Tayuya's personality, he wouldn't believe it without swearing and cursing a few times.

"He said some uncivilized things."

Karin said in a refined manner, "I've already taught her a lesson."

"lesson?"

Natsume paused slightly, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked, "You think you can beat her?"

No, that's all.

Karin raised her chin and said with considerable pride, "I used reverse psychology to pull her into my area of ​​expertise and have her recite the entire text with me."

Good guy!

You have Tayuya's personality completely under your control.

But only you could come up with the idea of ​​memorizing the entire text.

Snatch the bamboo shoots!

Bullying an honest person who has never been to school.

"So clever."

Natsume touched her red hair.

Karin immediately adopted a haughty, cat-like expression, enjoying the petting.

"But don't let her lead you astray."

Swearing is always the fastest-spreading language.

For example, when learning a foreign language, you practically know its meaning without being taught, especially Japanese.

Many people know those few phrases.

"I won't!"

Karin clenched her fist and said, "No amount of words can compare to one punch from me."

"..."

Natsume was speechless.

What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.

I should be worried about Tayuya.

In a few years, she probably won't be able to beat Karin.

Tayuya's greatest strengths are nothing more than summoning techniques and special sound-based ninjutsu.

However, Karin is currently learning sealing techniques and physical techniques.

In the original work, she also possesses magic powers.

In other words, she has the talent of a medical ninja.

But she is still young and not in a hurry to learn.

Mastering sealing techniques and taijutsu is enough to make a living in the ninja world.

Natsume is worried that there are too few people her age.

Fortunately, after Tayuya, there was another one, Amurei.

He suddenly realized that all three of them had red hair.

It was truly fate.

"Karin, why are you saying strange things again?"

Uzumaki Ena put down her work, her tone somewhat helpless, but mostly full of affection.

"That's not surprising."

Karin turned her head and made a face. "My brother didn't say anything."

Uzumaki Ena immediately looked at Natsume, her eyes conveying a clear meaning: It's all your fault for spoiling him.

I don't think it's a big problem.

Natsume shrugged and said.

"My brother understands me best."

Karin immediately cheered.

Uzumaki Ena sighed and shook her head, but didn't say anything more.

"Yu Liu, how are you now?"

Natsume remembered that she also had a strange illness.

Although Shennong was rather arrogant, his medical skills were undeniable.

The fact that he has never been exposed while roaming the ninja world shows that he is indeed skilled.

"It's nothing serious."

Uzumaki Ena's gaze remained fixed on Natsume, filled with tenderness and longing. "She just always wanted to go back to the village."

"That was indeed not taken into consideration."

Natsume doesn't remember the movie's plot very clearly.

Furthermore, it doesn't describe Yu Liu's attitude towards the villagers.

Now it seems that because of his interference, Shennong no longer holds any place in her heart.

"Then let's move the village here."

Natsume waved his hand and said with great flair.

The Land of Waves is already short of people.

Even after conquering the Land of Whirlpools, it was still not enough.

The main needs are for maritime transport, bridges, and subsequent marine resource extraction.

Uzumaki Ena nodded.

Although she ultimately had to make the arrangements, she didn't care how hard or tiring it was, as long as it was Natsume's order.

"News has come from Kirigakure."

Uzumaki Ena picked up another document and said, "The five waterways will be cleared next month, and the chef you requested has also arrived."

Natsume was slightly taken aback by what he heard.

He always remembered the matter of the waterway.

But the chef, if not for Uzumaki Ena's reminder, he would have forgotten.

Speaking of this, he seems to have been showing off Mei Terumi for quite a while now.

"Okay, I got it."

Natsume smiled and patted Karin's head, but his eyes were fixed on Ena Uzumaki.

She understood what she meant and gave a forgiving smile.

Unfortunately, Natsume has to return to Konoha Village.

As the Hokage's assistant, he can't skip work all day.

Under the lingering gazes of Ena and Karin, Natsume appeared in his office.

By this time, a lot of documents had been piled up on the table.

Natsume casually flipped through the pages.

One of the more popular topics is Naruto Uzumaki.

The revelation of his true identity has indeed sparked considerable discussion in Konoha Village.

The human heart, reflected in this mirror, reveals different kinds of brilliance.

It can only be said that being uneducated does indeed make one appear somewhat ignorant.

Natsume does have the idea of ​​establishing a school.

But I estimate there are quite a few people who oppose it.

The ninjas felt the expenses were too high and unnecessary.

The nobles simply felt that you were challenging their power.

After all, the smarter someone is, the harder they are to manage.

Natsume thought to himself that he could wait until he became Hokage before making a decision.

When the time comes, the first person he will have to deal with is the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

He would take care of what Tsunade could manage, and he would take care of what Tsunade couldn't manage even more.

It's not that she was a bad Hokage, it's just that she was limited by her circumstances.

Besides, she's naturally lazy.

Only Natsume can do it.

After finishing processing all the documents, he didn't call for the ANBU ninjas, but instead carried them to the Hokage's office himself.

"Sister, are you tired?"

Natsume opened the door and saw Tsunade resting with her eyes closed, so he asked.

"fine."

Tsunade opened her eyes, smiled, and said, "Put the documents on the desk."

"Um."

Natsume nodded, put down the document, and then noticed a top-secret intelligence document on the table, which he picked up casually.

Intelligence is divided into several levels in Konoha.

The highest level of intelligence can only be viewed by the Hokage.

But Natsume and Tsunade both understand.

They know each other too well.

Intelligence and such can be shared.

Natsume glanced at it and was immediately surprised.

It was actually Danzo Shimura.

The text above states that after leaving Konoha, he went to Amegakure to find the demigod Hanzo.

Although Nagato of the Akatsuki had killed him, the outside world was unaware of this, and the news had been kept under wraps.

Other ninja villages' attempts to gather intelligence were completely futile, like water flowing into the ocean without causing any ripples.

It's understandable that Shimura Danzo would seek out Hanzo.

There aren't many people who can help him make a comeback.

Besides the five major villages, Amegakure is the most likely.

Because they have Hanzo, their leader, who is hailed as a demigod.

God is Hashirama Senju.

The fact that Hanzo was a demigod demonstrates his prestige in the ninja world.

He is most famous for fighting and defeating the three legendary ninjas single-handedly during the Second Shinobi World War.

Strictly speaking, he was the one who bestowed the name "Sannin".

Therefore, being one of the Three Ninja is not an honor, but rather a disgrace.

But because it's so famous, that's what it's called now.

At the same time, the more famous the Sannin became, the more it proved the prestige of the demigod Hanzo.

The intelligence report didn't provide much detail.

It is said that Shimura Danzo went to find Hanzo, but ended up being seriously injured and fleeing.

How so?

He's still alive!

Natsume thought about it and figured that Nagato probably didn't want to reveal the existence of the Akatsuki too much for the time being.

Shimura Danzo was a rogue ninja from Konoha. If he had died in Amegakure, Tsunade would definitely have sent someone to negotiate, at least to get his body back.

After all, a corpse will reveal a lot.

Danzo Shimura, being a high-ranking official in Konoha, knew countless secrets.

It's good that he didn't die.

He can continue to contribute Fate Points.

I wonder where Danzo will stop next?

"Danzo disappeared after being seriously injured."

Tsunade glanced at him and said, "But he also proved that the demigod Hanzo is still as sharp as ever."

She, like everyone else, believed that the demigod Hanzo was not dead.

Moreover, although Danzo Shimura was a bit weak, his strength surpassed that of most ninjas.

There are very few ninjas who can defeat him and seriously injure him.

It's understandable that Tsunade would think of Hanzo.

After all, they had faced each other before, and the encounter left a deep impression on them.

"Is my sister worried about Amegakure?"

After putting down the information, Natsume asked.

"Since the Second Shinobi World War, Amegakure has forbidden anyone from entering or leaving."

Tsunade nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes, and said, "Hanzo is not a docile ninja. He hasn't shown up for so long; I wonder what he's plotting."

Planning how to revive a famous figure.

Natsume answered immediately.

Hanzo can indeed be seen later in the story.

That is, reincarnation in the Pure Land.

However, because he lost his summoning beast, the Salamander, he appeared rather weak and lost to Mifune, the admiral of the Land of Iron.

It completely fails to showcase the demeanor of a demigod.

Especially compared to Hashirama Senju, the god of ninja, he shouldn't be called a demigod, but rather a god one in a billion.

Natsume thought for a moment, but didn't explain anything, saying, "Whatever they're plotting, with Konoha's strength, there's nothing to worry about."

"You have no idea how formidable Hanzo is."

Tsunade immediately began to tell the legendary story of the Three Legendary Sannin's battle against Hanzo during the Second Shinobi World War.

Natsume listened attentively without interrupting, but he felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) in his heart.

Tsunade seemed to have truly let go of the past.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be talking about the Second Shinobi World War.

After all, it was around this time that Rope Tree died.

Moreover, he was killed by an explosive tag in front of Orochimaru.

These unassuming explosive tags changed the lives of two of the legendary Sannin.

It's a completely different path.

One has stopped being human, and the other has retreated into a state of despair.

"That's really impressive."

After listening, Natsume echoed his sentiments.

"Perfunctory."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him; she couldn't tell that Natsume was completely indifferent.

However, considering his strength, Hanzo is indeed a bit lacking.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Since you don't want to hear it, then I won't say it."

"No, I really enjoy listening to it."

Natsume ran up to her, looked at her delicate face, and said, "I'll listen to whatever you say."

"How come you're so skilled?"

Tsunade reached out and flicked his forehead, asking, "Just how many innocent girls have you deceived behind my back?"

Where?

Natsume asked, somewhat annoyed, "Does being the Hokage give you the right to slander people at will?"

"Sure."

Tsunade chuckled and reached out to rub his face, saying, "That's the Hokage's privilege."

"Alright."

Natsume said fiercely, "You just wait, one day, it will be my turn to be Hokage!"

Tsunade was taken aback upon hearing this, then her face darkened, veins bulged on her forehead, and her lips twitched slightly.

She stood up, pressed Natsume down onto the Hokage-style armchair, rolled up her sleeves, and pressed her face close to his, saying, "That's for later. I'm going to teach you a lesson right now!"

While the two were fighting in the Hokage's office, Shizune and Ino Yamanaka happened to be outside the door.

They each carried a stack of documents, or rather, files that Tsunade was going to review.

"Sister Shizune, it seems like there's no one inside."

Yamanaka Ino knocked on the door, and when there was no response, she turned around and asked.

"That shouldn't be the case."

Shizune understands Tsunade.

Although he has a carefree personality, he will still do what needs to be done and will never let personal emotions delay important matters of Konoha.

She stepped forward, pushed the door, and sensed the presence of the barrier.

Shizune paused slightly, then suddenly realized something, and her face flushed slightly.

That's really too daring! Aren't you afraid of being discovered?

"Ino, let's come again tomorrow."

Shizune snapped out of her daze and said, "Lady Tsunade should have already left work."

"oh."

Ino Yamanaka nodded, turned and took a few steps, then asked, "Shizune-nee, why is your face red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, it's just a bit hot."

Shizune changed the subject, saying, "You've managed to revive a rooster; from today onward, you can be considered a medical ninja."

"I'm still a long way off."

Yamanaka Ino's tone was somewhat joyful, but she still said very modestly, "If I can catch up to one-tenth of Shizune-nee's level, I will be quite satisfied."

"Your talent is no less than mine."

Shizune smiled, the blush on her face fading, and said, "Good luck, girl."

Night fell.

Natsume carried Tsunade home on his back.

Jingyin, who was waiting on the sofa, immediately got up.

She was just about to ask what she wanted to eat tonight when Natsume raised his finger, signaling her to be quiet.

Shizune glanced instinctively at Tsunade on his back, who was already fast asleep.

She immediately understood the reason: she was too exhausted.

Natsume placed Tsunade on the bed and did not wake her, but let her continue to sleep.

"Sister Shizune, you should prepare a meal for two."

After leaving the room, Natsume spoke.

Jingyin nodded, her expression unchanged, and walked into the kitchen before letting out a sigh of relief.

But I couldn't help but wonder, with Tsunade's boundless energy, would she get this tired?

Not long after, dinner began.

Because there's one less person, it's simpler.

Natsume didn't pay much attention. After finishing his meal, he told Shizune and took Tsunade to take a bath.

After all, I've worked so hard for so long, and I'm covered in sweat.

After everything was settled, I entered a rare period of quiet nighttime life.

The land of snow.

Snow city.

Even under the cover of night, the lights were still on.

Feng Hua Nu Tao sat on the throne and asked, "Has the fortress that suddenly appeared in the sky been thoroughly investigated?"

Kneeling below were his three capable lieutenants.

Wolf Fang Avalanche, Crane Wing Snowstorm, Winter Bear Hailstorm.

He remained quite silent when faced with his question.

A moment later, Tsurugi Fubuki, with her pink pigtails, spoke up: "None of the people we sent out have returned."

"completely annihilated?"

Feng Hua Nu Tao's face darkened, and he asked, "Where are the enemies? Haven't we even seen them?"

"They lost contact after entering the fortress."

Crane Wing Blizzard paused, then answered somewhat uncertainly, "It was as if I was defeated in an instant."

"That's impossible."

Feng Hua Nu Tao raised his head and asked, "They were all wearing chakra armor, each comparable to a Jonin, how could they have lost so quickly?"

"I don't know."

Crane Wing Snow said with a solemn expression, "Perhaps it's a weapon that came with the aerial fortress."

Feng Hua Nu Tao propped his head up with one hand, lost in thought.

The appearance of the aerial fortress was very strange.

This made him constantly wonder what kind of ninjutsu or technology it was.

Previously, he believed that the Snow Country's technology was already the best among all nations.

I never imagined there were people more capable than me, and that there was always something beyond my understanding.

"They haven't launched a counterattack yet, perhaps they're waiting for something."

Feng Hua Nu Tao tapped the throne and said, "Tomorrow, gather all our forces and attack the aerial fortress."

The longer the enemy delays, the less opportunity they will have.

He was aware of this principle.

Moreover, the longer the air fortress remained, the greater the damage to his prestige would be.

Besides that, he set his sights on the fortress.

"yes!"

The three answered in unison.

"Have you found any trace of Feng Hua Xiao Xue?"

Feng Hua Nu Tao asked again.

He sought to become the daimyo of the Snow Country, solely for the sake of the so-called treasure.

The key to the treasure is called a hexagonal crystal.

He searched the entire Snow Kingdom but couldn't find her, so the only possibility was the princess who had fled abroad.

"no."

Crane Wing Snow said, forcing herself to speak.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Feng Hua Nu Tao couldn't help but show his anger and said, "It's been so many years, how come we still can't find anyone?"
