Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 17: Inviting guests, beheading, and taking in servants as dogs

When Natsume woke up, he had already returned to Konoha.

He scratched his head.

I unexpectedly fell asleep because it was so soft and smelled so good.

How can someone your age fall asleep?

Natsume woke up and gave himself a pep talk.

In the hall, Shizune was reading a book, while Tsunade was nowhere to be found.

"Sister Shizune, I need to go back to the orphanage."

"Be careful on the road."

It wasn't surprising that Jingyin looked up.

He would go back to the orphanage almost every two days.

Konoha Village covers a very large area.

However, the core area within the barrier is actually not that large.

Why are the Uchiha clan dissatisfied with their new territory?

Because we've reached the edge of the barrier.

If we keep losing, we'll end up in the Forest of Death.

Fugaku Uchiha was practically pointing at Danzo Shimura and saying, "You have no shame!"

The former residence of Hashirama Senju and the orphanage are located in the central area, so they are not far apart.

Natsume walked for a few minutes and arrived at his destination.

"Natsume-nii-san, you're back!"

"Natsume-nii-san!"

"sugar!"

As soon as Natsume entered the orphanage, he was surrounded by a group of children.

He opened the bag in his hand and said, "Don't fight over it, one lollipop for each person."

"Thank you, brother!"

The children were immediately drawn to the candy.

Natsume looked around and found Kabuto Yakushi.

He was playing with a little white rabbit.

More accurately, we are studying its body structure.

"Hey, want some candy?"

Natsume walked over and asked.

"I'm not a child."

Kabuto shook his head. His hands were stained with rabbit blood, but he wasn't afraid at all as he looked at the dissected white rabbit.

If you didn't look at him, it would be hard to believe he's only seven years old.

"Kabuto, in a while, you'll come with me to see Lady Tsunade. You can show off your medical talent then."

Natsume peeled open a lollipop and ate it himself.

It tastes pretty good.

Kabuto's eyes lit up, his previous composure vanished, and he asked excitedly, "Lady Tsunade, will you accept me?"

"Yes."

Natsume thought to himself, "You have no idea how terrifying your medical talent is. Even if I don't take you on as an apprentice, I'll still have her teach you medical ninjutsu."

Given his current relationship with Tsunade, he should be able to get through to her by putting in some effort and asking her for help.

Yakushi Nonou is actually an excellent medical ninja.

But her identity is special.

If Yakushi Kabuto stays by her side, he could easily be targeted by Shimura Danzo if he is not careful.

Like Orochimaru, this first Hokage had a great fondness for geniuses.

However, the two are different.

Danzo Shimura wanted to recruit geniuses into his Root organization, brainwash them, and turn them into his loyal subordinates.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, coveted the bodies of geniuses, collecting them to use as vessels for himself.

Yakushi Kabuto undoubtedly meets the standard.

"The little white rabbit is so cute, how could you be so cruel?"

Natsume suddenly remembered an amusing anecdote from his past life and said, "Add more spice to lunch, let's have spicy rabbit meat."

"..."

Kabuto paused for two seconds, then finally nodded and said, "That was my original plan."

The orphanage wasn't very wealthy, so naturally they wouldn't waste food.

Natsume watched for a while, but it wasn't very interesting, so he simply practiced his ninjutsu on the side.

D-rank Body Flicker Technique.

A rather useful ninjutsu.

Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique is essentially a form of instantaneous movement technique.

However, it incorporates spatial elements, making it something that ordinary ninjas cannot learn.

D-rank Body Flicker Technique, which is the most basic Body Flicker Technique.

It's not actually a flash, but a speed boost.

The illusion of teleportation is created by accelerating.

Besides the Body Flicker Technique, there is also the Water Release: Water Chaos Wave.

The basic water-style ninjutsu consists of three hand seals. Its effect is to expel a wave of water from the mouth to impact the enemy.

Natsume possesses both water and earth attributes.

However, water is his primary attribute, and his talent surpasses that of earth, so he prioritizes training in water-based techniques.

Then, he used Water Release to conceal his Wood Release, thus establishing his identity as a Water Release ninja.

Natsume spent the rest of his Sunday at the orphanage, only returning home in the evening.

"You're back?"

Tsunade was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

That's right, the ninja world has televisions and computers.

But very few people can afford these things.

Most people live below the poverty line.

The plight of ordinary people outside the five major powers is even more dire.

But because of the existence of ninjas, they couldn't just shout "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" and then rise up in rebellion.

After all, a single Jonin can handle tens of thousands of ordinary people.

Natsume sat down next to Tsunade without any hesitation.

She naturally put her hand on his shoulder and would occasionally ruffle his hair, just like petting a cat.

Natsume felt like a pet.

Speaking of which, in his previous life, he also loved to hug and pet cats whenever he had free time.

It's the weekend, so I'm taking a break and not practicing Wood Release ninjutsu.

Jingyin, on the other hand, is working very hard, studying her medical knowledge.

Studying medicine won't save the ninja world.

Natsume suddenly blurted out Xun Ge's words.

Ordinary medical ninjas cannot reach Tsunade's level.

But even in the later stages of the story, she seemed to be just a minor character.

A real man should pilot a Gundam.

Natsume sniffed it; it smelled somewhat sweet, like some kind of flower.

I don't know if it was perfume or her natural body scent.

There's a theory from a past life that if you can still smell a person's fragrance even if they're not wearing perfume, it means your genes selected them, and your baby won't have any immune gene defects.

"Sister, are you wearing perfume?"

"No."

Tsunade subconsciously sniffed the air and asked, "Is there something strange about it?"

"Oh, no."

Natsume shook his head and said, "I think I just smelled a fragrance."

Tsunade paused for a moment, her smile deepening, and coiled around him like a snake, teasingly saying, "Smell it again, and see what it smells like?"

Woman! You're playing with fire!

You... wait!

Which cadre can withstand this test?

Natsume felt that Tsunade was very different from what he remembered.

Is this what they call an older sister?

In her limited screen time in the original work, Tsunade seems to treat her younger brother very well.

Looking back now, this love seems far too heavy.

Natsume struggled to emerge, took a breath of fresh air, and said, "Well, I can't watch TV now."

Tsunade then released him.

Half a month passed just like that.

While attending school, Natsume also managed to take control of the Gunma Company.

With Tsunade's support, the process was very simple.

Invite them to a feast, behead them, or take them in as dogs.

Talk to the boss first, and if you can't reach an agreement, kill him. The rest will naturally kneel down and shout: Welcome to the supreme new boss who has arrived at his loyal company today.

Gunma Corporation has two main businesses: casinos and underground banking, which is essentially lending.

Anyway, none of them are good stuff.

After acquiring Natsume, he immediately ordered rectification.

In addition to the casino, the underground bank was also renovated and converted to the banking model of the previous life.

He might be the only one in the world who knows that banks are very profitable.

The casino and bank complex is expected to require renovations to take one or two months.

We also need to train the service staff, which will take even longer.

Let's leave Natsume aside for now.

He needs to go see Orochimaru and, while he's at it, give his classmate Itachi Uchiha a big gift.

At the same time, he plans to use the money he earns to hire ninjas to Kusagakure. As for who to hire, he will have to choose carefully.

The night was dark and the wind was high.

Natsume spent some more Fate Points to send the Wood Clone to Orochimaru's courtyard.
