Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 164 The Tender and Gentle Mikoto

"Aunt Mikoto, get up. The ground is cold. You're not a snail."

Natsume stretched out his hand and placed it in front of her.

Upon hearing the voice, Uchiha Mikoto instinctively looked up, her eyes staring at him with a bewildered expression.

What snail?

What does this have to do with snails?

"What? Now that Aunt Mikoto has seen the light, she's planning to be ungrateful?"

Natsume raised an eyebrow and asked teasingly.

"I'm...sorry."

Mikoto Uchiha naturally took his hand and, with his help, stood up.

When her soft waist was embraced, she couldn't help but feel despair.

Even though she wanted to resist, her body obeyed her and she could no longer go back to the past.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan needs Natsume right now.

Whether it's returning to Konoha or Sasuke Uchiha's job arrangements after graduation.

Without the Hokage, none of this would be possible.

Natsume pressed close to her body, acting as a kind citizen to comfort Uchiha Mikoto, who was in a bad mood.

After she shed tears again, vented her negative emotions, and her mental state improved, he finally learned from her about the two eye techniques of her Mangekyou Sharingan.

How so?

It truly is an eye that reflects the soul.

The awakened eye techniques are all related to the state of mind and condition at the time of awakening.

Tenko-no-miko and Aya-ha-ji.

Two auxiliary pupil techniques.

This is a good improvement for Mikoto Uchiha's strength.

Especially the latter.

Of course, the former played a unique role in revitalizing the Uchiha clan.

After all, it can maximize the creation of Sharingan.

[Because of your actions, Mikoto Uchiha's fate has changed. You have gained 100 Fate Points.]

After lunch, Natsume was still not full, so he continued to eat fruit.

Mikoto Uchiha sat down behind him and hugged him.

She reached out and picked up a grape, peeled off the skin to reveal the juicy flesh, and then offered it to Natsume's lips.

"Thanks."

Natsume opened his mouth and tasted the grapes, which were a little sour and a little sweet.

"Is it tasty?"

Mikoto Uchiha shifted her hips to cushion his head, and continued peeling grapes.

"good."

Natsume squinted, his whole body relaxing.

This life is wonderful.

Was Kakashi Sasuke's mentor after graduation?

Mikoto Uchiha whispered in her ear, "What do you mean?"

"no."

Natsume shook his head and said, "It's me."

Mikoto Uchiha paused for a few seconds, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that he was indeed more suitable than Kakashi Hatake.

She knew that Natsume possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, although she didn't know it was the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kakashi Hatake only has a three-tomoe Sharingan, at least for now.

With the addition of being a disciple of the Hokage, Sasuke Uchiha's future prospects are no longer a concern.

"Thanks."

Mikoto Uchiha opened her mouth and massaged his ears while her hands continued to feed him grapes.

"It's nothing."

Natsume smiled nonchalantly.

He took Uchiha Sasuke as his disciple, ultimately to gain Destiny Points.

But how to help him open his eyes is indeed a problem.

In theory, the stronger Naruto Uzumaki is, the more easily he is stimulated, and thus becomes stronger as a result.

However, theory is one thing, but reality rarely unfolds as predicted.

He suddenly thought of Mikoto Uchiha's eye technique, Ayahaji, which seemed quite promising.

Controlling the senses and emotions—isn't that the perfect requirement for the Mangekyou Sharingan?

However, there is a concern about Sasuke Uchiha's own physical condition.

Try to get him to use his Yin Escape technique.

Speaking of Yin Dun, he actually had one by his side.

Kurama Yakumo.

Before long, a monster made of pure spiritual energy, Idu, will be generated within her body.

But to devour it would seem a bit wasteful.

Moreover, it will affect Yakumo Kurama, and a powerful illusionist may disappear.

Natsume fell into deep thought.

Mikoto Uchiha didn't disturb him. She stopped feeding him and massaged his shoulders with both hands.

Her expression was serious yet gentle, like that of a virtuous wife.

Natsume snapped out of his reverie and remembered something strange.

Box of Elysium.

Legend has it that it is a tool of the Sage of Six Paths and an all-powerful wish-granting machine.

Once opened, it can grant a person's wish.

In reality, it is not possible.

The Box of Bliss has four faces on its four sides, representing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

When the wish is fulfilled, it will transform into a monster, and enlightenment will follow.

It can read minds and is immortal.

Based on these two descriptions alone, Natsume can almost conclude that this thing is also a product of Yin Release.

The Box of Paradise is located in Hozuki Castle in Kusagakure Village.

Natsume looked up at Uchiha Mikoto.

Awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is far from enough to defeat Itachi Uchiha.

At the very least, one must have extensive experience.

Although Natsume has been training her over the past few years, she still lacks sufficiently powerful enemies.

Hozuki Castle is a pretty good dungeon.

"What's wrong?"

When Mikoto Uchiha noticed him staring at her, she asked, "Is it... you want to do that?"

As she spoke, she instinctively reached out her hand, but Natsume grasped it.

"When do you want to see Sasuke?"

Natsume stroked her soft, boneless hands and asked.

"I... am fine with anything."

Mikoto Uchiha originally wanted to say the sooner the better, but in the end, she wisely chose the all-purpose answer.

"I'm starting to like you more and more."

Natsume turned around to face her and said, "Then let's wait until I become Hokage."

"Thanks."

Mikoto Uchiha immediately smiled.

"You should smile more; you're quite pretty."

Natsume stared at her for a while, then said, "When you meet Sasuke, use your eye technique, Ayahaji, on him to maximize the joy of your reunion. Do you understand what I mean?"

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth curved into a crescent moon, a smile that bloomed from the depths of her heart.

Natsume paused for a moment, then reached out and patted her head, reminding her, "You can't overuse your eye techniques, or you'll go blind."

Of course, Mikoto Uchiha is far better than Itachi Uchiha.

Because for the past few years, Natsume has been using his own blood to help her build up her physique.

He is now a celestial being, and in some ways, he is more useful than the Hashirama cells.

"Um."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded obediently.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that Natsume was not bad.

But he quickly dismissed the thought.

"Tomorrow is Sasuke's graduation, do you want to go see him?"

Natsume thought for a moment and then asked.

For him, Uchiha Mikoto was a good subordinate.

They can do anything.

Although she is very obedient now, it would be even better if I could win her heart.

"May I?"

Mikoto Uchiha raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

"Of course, but we should wait two more days before we meet."

Natsume nodded and said.

"Thanks!"

Mikoto Uchiha was quite excited.

Whatever the reason, Natsume did make her feel grateful today.

It's excellent, at least for Sasuke.

"Put on some clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Natsume stood up and said, "I'll come see you again in a couple of days."

He left the room and closed the door behind him.

"Try this trick of mine!"

A gust of wind swept in.

"Who taught you to shout before an assassination?"

Natsume dodged the fist of the little loli, or rather, the big loli Tayuya.

"Damn it!"

Tayuya, dressed in a kimono, stopped in her tracks and turned to deliver a punch.

The flow of chakra stirred up a storm.

This is superhuman strength.

Natsume taught Karin, and Karin then taught Tayuya.

Physical skills would undoubtedly greatly enhance her close-combat abilities.

Natsume reached out and grasped her fist, then raised his other hand and flicked her forehead.

Tayuya's body instantly vanished.

You've been tricked!

A melodious sound filled with excitement came from the sky.

Natsume looked up.

Tayuya, now in his cursed form, sported white horns and a smug expression on his dark face.

"Hey, I see it, it's white."

"Pervert! Die!"

Tayuya's face suddenly turned red, one hand pressing down on her clothes, the other clenching into a fist.

"Weak punches, unsteady footwork, and an overreaction."

Natsume shook his head and commented, "Even if you continue like this for another hundred years, you still won't be able to assassinate me."

At the same time, he stepped back, immediately avoiding her fist.

"Mind your own business!"

Tayuya landed on the ground, her face full of contempt as she cursed, "You pervert!"

"So, does this mean your assassination attempt failed?"

Natsume asked with a smile.

"What do you want to do?"

Tayuya instinctively took a step back, but immediately felt humiliated. She put her hands on her hips and snapped, "I'm not afraid of you!"

"Come here."

Natsume waved.

"Come on over!"

Tayuya gritted her teeth, took a few steps forward, and looked resentful.

Natsume touched the horn on her head with lightning speed.

"you……"

Tayuya's body trembled, and she almost fell to the ground.

Her legs, clad in white over-the-knee socks, were exposed, glowing white in the sunlight.

"Here's a toy for you."

Natsume took out a black bow-shaped choker.

Tayuya was slightly taken aback; she did look quite pretty.

But what kind of punishment is this?

It wasn't until she saw the bell on it that she said, annoyed, "You can't take a joke!"

How could she possibly assassinate him?

Anyone who gets too close will be spotted by the sound of the bell.

"You don't have to wear it when you try to assassinate me."

Natsume smiled magnanimously and said, "Isn't that fair enough?"

Tayuya snorted and took the collar, putting it on.

"It's quite beautiful."

Natsume sincerely praised it.

After several years of meticulous care from Ena Uzumaki, Tayuya looks even more refined and beautiful than in the original work.

The black bow makes her look like a doll.

Adding a gothic maid outfit would make it even more perfect.

"Don't think that praising me will make me give up killing you!"

Tayuya held her head high with a fierce expression, as if to say, "No matter how good you are to me, it won't make a difference."

"Good deeds don't always go unrewarded."

Natsume stroked his chin and said, "Shouldn't we give you some more punishment?"

"You're being unreasonable!"

Tayuya immediately panicked.

"What? You can be reasonable now?"

Natsume couldn't help but laugh. "When did you learn that?"

"..."

Tayuya glared at him immediately, "You're so annoying!"

As she moved, the bells around her neck jingled softly.

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."

Natsume waved his hand and disappeared before her eyes.

Tayuya paused slightly, hesitated, and finally let out a soft hum.

I'll definitely teach this guy a lesson next time.

Thinking about it, her mood immediately improved.

Tayuya skipped and hopped, a smile appearing on her lips as she listened to the bells, and turned to walk towards the training ground.

Three thousand characters.
