Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 181 Dragon Vein Transmigration and the Witch

"Wood Release?"

Shukaku was a little dumbfounded.

It suddenly remembered that man.

Hashirama Senju.

Although Shukaku did not participate in the final battle at the Valley of the End like Kurama, he had the opportunity to try out Wood Release when Hashirama Senju was collecting the nine tailed beasts to distribute to the five villages.

It instinctively tried to escape, but became entangled by more and more trees.

"Damn brat!"

Shukaku suddenly opened its mouth and used its trump card.

Tailed Beast Ball.

A vast amount of chakra rapidly gathered.

Natsume clapped his hands together.

Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

A seed sprouted quickly and instantly transformed into a wooden dragon, binding Shukaku.

The tailed beast ball in its mouth suddenly disappeared.

"what!"

Shukaku screamed in agony.

The wooden dragon's restraints became increasingly tight.

Ultimately, it couldn't withstand it and shrank back into Gaara's belly.

Natsume immediately snapped his fingers.

The trees carried Gaia to him.

After losing its target, the wooden dragon did not disappear, but instead changed direction.

Magnet Release: Sand Pad!

Luo Sha's expression changed drastically. He quickly used magnetic force to pull the gold dust in front of them, condensing it into a flying golden cloud.

"Danzo, why aren't you making a move?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another wooden dragon soared into the air and began to fight with the incoming wooden dragon.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Sha and the others jumped onto the sand mat and moved away from the battlefield.

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

Danzo Shimura's body was filled with a massive amount of chakra and natural energy.

"That's really good."

Natsume smiled and said, "Danzo, your sealing techniques haven't been wasted."

He had already realized where this extra energy of his came from.

Dragon veins.

When combined with sealing techniques, it produces an effect similar to that of a Jinchūriki.

"Natsume!"

Danzo Shimura said arrogantly, "Today is your death day!"

He believed that, given the same level of Wood Release, he would undoubtedly have the upper hand due to his extensive experience.

Natsume twitched the corner of his mouth.

Actually, he has a very simple method now.

That means activating the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan would allow him to directly control Danzo Shimura.

But his words made Natsume change his mind.

What he likes most is helping others achieve their goals.

Danzo Shimura received a huge amount of chakra, which did indeed enhance the power of Wood Release in a short period of time.

However, he only used a section of the dragon vein, not the entire dragon vein.

This section is even inferior to Shukaku.

"Who gave you your confidence?"

Natsume clapped his hands together.

Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!

Behind him, an enormous statue of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin appeared in the world.

An immense amount of chakra spread across the entire desert.

Rasa and the others, who were floating in the air, stared blankly, doubting their own eyes.

Before the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, they were as insignificant as a speck of dust.

But the most shocked were Hyuga Hizashi and the others.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck them, leaving them shivering.

For the first time, they truly understood Natsume's strength.

The feeling is too unreal.

Having grown up listening to the legend of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, they witnessed the legend become reality for the first time.

After the initial shock, a sense of awe inevitably arises.

"What...is this?"

Danzo Shimura's smile froze.

He doesn't have Sage Mode, so he's destined to be unable to use it.

"impossible!"

Danzo Shimura snapped out of his daze and finally remembered what the ninjutsu was.

The strongest Wood Release ninjutsu of Hashirama Senju.

He had only heard the legend, but had never seen it.

But I never expected to see him today.

However, he would rather he had never seen it.

Especially since this ninjutsu was performed by Natsume.

This means that at such a young age, he already possesses the potential to rival the God of Shinobi.

"This can't be real! It's fake! It must be fake!"

Danzo Shimura trembled with anger, his face filled with disbelief.

Natsume's lips curled up slightly.

The performance has reached its final act.

Hyuga Hizashi and the others have witnessed his strength firsthand.

Soon, everyone in Konoha will submit.

Wood Release holds a special place in their hearts.

Now it overlaps with Naruto again.

Natsume will become the second Hokage with unparalleled prestige after Hashirama Senju.

Having thought this through, he decided not to waste any more time.

The Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue moved accordingly.

Countless whooshing sounds echoed through the clouds.

A thousand giant hands transformed into fists and slammed down.

A Buddha appears on the crown of the head!

Under the fist, all beings are equal.

Even though Luo Sha summoned a large amount of gold dust at an extremely fast speed to protect everyone, he still could not escape the calamity.

Maki, Kankuro, Temari, and the others could only watch helplessly as the Magnet Release, which they considered almost invincible, turned into Porcelain Release, shattering at the slightest touch.

Finally, the fists landed, and they all coughed up blood and fell into a deep sleep.

However, Natsume did not kill him.

Keep them as韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited), and they'll continuously contribute to your fate value.

Under his control, the trees quickly entangled the unconscious Sunagakure ninja.

"Huh, it's a shadow clone?"

Natsume was somewhat surprised.

Danzo Shimura was not the original form.

It has to be said that Guoying does have some skill.

Perception unfolds.

Natsume immediately located his position.

Right in front of the dragon vein.

It is currently absorbing enormous amounts of energy at a frantic pace.

Natsume's heart skipped a beat; something was wrong.

Danzo Shimura's original intention was to increase his own strength, but this action would undoubtedly trigger the Flying Thunder God Kunai left behind by Minato Namikaze, thus causing him to travel through time and space.

"Uncle Hizashi, bring them back to Konoha. Leave the specifics to Tsunade-sensei."

Natsume appeared before Hyuga Hizashi and the others, who were still in a daze, quickly gave them a few instructions, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to rush to the Dragon Vein.

Now that things have settled down, it won't be a big problem for him to disappear for a while.

Given Tsunade's personality, and considering that Rasa and the others have already been captured, there's no reason for her to let Konoha suffer a loss.

Besides, even if he suffers a loss, he'll have to pay it all back when he gets back.

"Natsume!"

At this moment, Danzo Shimura was in a state of madness.

Chakra and natural energy are absorbed into the body as if they're free.

This also caused the interstitial cells in his right arm to start going out of control and to sprout.

Seeing this, Natsume summoned the wooden dragon again without hesitation.

The Wood Dragon can absorb chakra, and can even draw out the chakra that Danzo Shimura had already absorbed.

"I absolutely will not allow it!"

Danzo Shimura was naturally aware of the effects of the wooden dragon.

Just then, he suddenly developed a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Then blood gushed out from his body.

The Inner Four Symbols Seal!

Natsume was startled.

He hadn't expected that Shimura Danzo still possessed a Sharingan.

There is something there.

In an instant, the black curse mark expanded and spread outwards from Shimura Danzo as the center.

As a result, the dragon vein erupted completely.

The Flying Thunder God kunai inside the underground sealing barrier suddenly lit up.

The situation is a bit complicated now.

Natsume thought for a moment and then said, "Destiny Ring, recommend something to save your life."

[Resurrection Armor: Automatically activates before you die, teleporting you back to the Ninja World and restoring all your injuries.]

[Price: 300 Fate Points.]

[Note: Refunds are available if the item is not used.]

Natsume's eyes lit up immediately.

This thing is pretty good.

Good quality and low price.

And you can get a refund.

Trading 300 points of Destiny for a life is definitely worth it.

With Natsume's current fate value, he can exchange it for ten lives. He's invincible.

Of course, exchanging one's life is the last resort.

He still prefers to exchange for items that can increase his strength.

For example, the Rinnegan.

It's still quite a bit short.

After exchanging for the resurrection armor, Natsume used the Flying Thunder God Technique to avoid the Reverse Four Symbols Seal.

But at that moment, he sensed the distortion of the surrounding space.

His vision blurred, his body weakened, and countless chakra flowed outwards.

The cost of the Flying Thunder God Technique depends on the size of the item and the distance of the teleportation.

At this moment, he was caught in the spatial turbulence. The massive chakra of his Sage Body, combined with the energy of the Dragon Vein, sent him flying to an unknown world.

Just as the immense chakra contained in his Sage Body was about to be exhausted, he landed with a thud and fell unconscious.

I don't know how much time has passed.

[Because of your actions, the fates of Danzo Shimura, Rasa, Gaara, Shukaku, Kankuro, Maki, and Temari have changed. You have gained a total of 460 Fate Points.]

Natsume finally regained consciousness.

He felt a strange energy repairing his body.

It's somewhat like natural energy, but there are differences.

Natsume slowly opened his eyes, and a white-haired girl appeared in his line of sight.

She was dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, and now she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair wrists, which she pressed against his chest.

That strange power was emanating from her palm.

Natsume suddenly thought of four words.

The power of the priestess.

"You're awake?"

The girl exhaled, withdrew her right hand, wiped the sweat from her brow, and asked, "What's your name? Who are you?"

During her treatment, she realized that Natsume might not be human.

Because he possesses an extraordinary physique and a power unlike hers.

Natsume scrutinized her, increasingly feeling that she resembled Shion, the priestess of the Land of Demons from the original work.

"Where am I?"

You should answer my question first.

The girl frowned in displeasure, but still said, "This is the Land of Demons."

"So you're Shion?"

Natsume realized to himself that he had actually been transported to the Land of Demons.

Fortunately, it didn't go far.

"No, there is no priestess named Shion here."

The girl shook her head and said, "My name is Kikuri. What's yours?"

Not Aster?

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

It seems that although it's in the Land of Demons, the timeline has been moved back quite a bit.

Shion and Naruto Uzumaki are about the same age.

If it happened after her, then the priestess of the Demon Kingdom must have kept records, and there's no reason she wouldn't know her name.

Previously, it was difficult to predict exactly which year it would happen.

Who is the Hokage of Konoha Village now?

Natsume thought for a moment and then asked.

"Which country is Konoha Village in? And what is the Hokage?"

Kikuri tilted her head, looking puzzled, and asked, "Are you from Konoha Village?"

Natsume was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell!

What era did I travel to?

There isn't even Konoha Village?

That chaotic Warring States period?

Forcing himself to calm down, Natsume asked, "Do you know Hashirama Senju?"

Kikuri shook her head.

"???"

Natsume could no longer remain calm.

If it were the Warring States period, Hashirama Senju would definitely have become famous.

Does this mean we have to go further?

Wouldn't that be the time when Kaguya Otsutsuki descends upon the ninja world?

Three thousand characters.
