Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 183 Natsume Becomes Famous in the Ninja World

After leaving the shrine maiden's palace, Natsume had a taste of what this world was like.

Poverty and chaos.

He was robbed several times along the way.

Among them was a notorious bandit king.

It is said to possess the strength of a nation.

But in reality, there were only a few samurai and a few hundred villagers.

Natsume easily stole their belongings.

Unlike later generations, we now use gold and silver as currency, rather than paper money.

The same amount of money, just one or two ounces, has a purchasing power that increases more than tenfold.

Natsume has become quite wealthy.

He initially thought the bandit was just bragging, but he later discovered it was actually true.

On his journey, he encountered a fight between two countries.

The land of woods and the land of mountains.

A large-scale brawl involving thousands of people.

This made Natsume fall silent.

Compared to the wars of tens or hundreds of thousands that used to take place in my previous life, this scene was truly shameful.

But upon closer examination, this does indeed reflect the state of neon lights in ancient times.

Natsume can now understand why Kaguya Otsutsuki wanted to quell the chaos of the world.

Because there are too few people.

Only by bringing them together can we plant trees more effectively.

Following the map provided by Kikuri, Natsume finally arrived at the Land of Ancestors.

In comparison, this country has at least begun to take shape.

It's quite large, with an estimated population of tens of thousands.

No wonder Kaguya Otsutsuki came to the Land of Ancestors.

The emperor is just too much of a scumbag.

His reason for betraying Kaguya Otsutsuki was extremely absurd.

It is threatened by a neighboring country.

If they don't hand over Kaguya Otsutsuki, they will attack the Land of Ancestors.

Then the emperor agreed to the terms.

It has to be said that the original plot of the animation is quite far-fetched.

Natsume arrived in the metropolis of the Land of Ancestors.

A city that looks even smaller than Konoha Village.

"Who is it?"

In front of the palace, a group of samurai stopped Natsume and said, "Commoners are not allowed to enter."

In this era, lords and nobles still held a high position.

It is even more stable.

After all, we don't have supernatural powers right now.

Natsume activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and with a casual glare, the samurai all returned to their posts, ignoring him.

He continued forward.

"Who are you……"

The two guards stood frozen in place.

"Take me to see the Emperor."

Natsume gave the instructions.

In the original work, the emperor is not the title of the emperor as we know him; his name is simply the emperor.

After all, under normal circumstances, if it were the emperor, it should be translated as "Great Name" rather than "Son of Heaven".

I wonder if the current emperor is still by his full name.

If so, it proves that Kaguya Otsutsuki's descent is not far off.

Not long after, Natsume met the emperor of the Land of Ancestors.

He was dressed in smart clothes, and his hair was curled and combed to the sides of his ears, making him look much more energetic than the people outside.

In terms of looks and temperament, she is also a cut above the rest.

After all, in chaotic times, only powerful figures and nobles are entitled to live better lives.

Natsume guessed that Kaguya Otsutsuki was a looks-obsessed person.

Two different species, and they can only fall in love based on their looks.

If that's the case, Natsume believes he has a significant advantage.

"How did you get in?"

The emperor looked at the unfamiliar Natsume, then at the two guards, and questioned, "Why did you bring him to see me?"

There was naturally no answer.

He suddenly had a bad feeling and was about to call for help when he froze in a daze.

"How can we prove the version of Kaguya Otsutsuki now?"

Natsume looked at him, lost in thought.

Killing him would actually prove it.

But once someone is dead, there's no going back.

The best approach is to leave room for maneuver.

Actually, fate points can also be used to revive, but he didn't want to waste them.

"He killed his own younger brother."

Although Natsume himself does not know medical ninjutsu, he possesses the Sage Body.

At worst, we can help him recover.

Upon hearing this, the emperor drew a samurai sword from the side and slashed down instantly.

Blood spurted out.

However, because he was under control, he did not shout or yell.

[Because of your actions, the Emperor's fate has changed; you have gained ten Fate Points.]

There is no Kaguya Otsutsuki, nor Hagoromo Otsutsuki or Hamura Otsutsuki.

This indicates it's a comic book version.

"You should kill yourself."

Thinking of this, Natsume gave the order without hesitation.

The emperor picked up his samurai sword and cut off the head on top of it.

He collapsed to the ground, covered in blood.

[Because of your actions, the Emperor's fate has changed; you have gained 48 points of Fate Value.]

It's still acceptable.

Natsume immediately disguised himself as the emperor and temporarily occupied the land of ancestors.

He also ordered all his subordinates to report immediately if they saw a woman with white hair and white eyes.

Meanwhile, the ninja world was bustling with activity.

After Natsume entered the Dragon Vein, Shimura Danzo was resurrected using Izanagi.

But he dared not stay, because Luo Sha and the others had all been captured.

It is absolutely impossible for him to return to Konoha and ascend to the Hokage throne on his own.

"Natsume!"

Shimura Danzo's tone revealed hatred.

He knew he wasn't the one who killed him.

Because he witnessed the Flying Thunder God Technique before he died.

In addition, no bodies or traces were left in the vicinity.

Therefore, he believed that Natsume had already escaped beforehand.

In other words, all his long-term planning has come to naught.

It also involved Sunagakure Village and the Shimura clan.

After that, he became a lonely man again.

But as long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood.

He is still alive.

"I will be back!"

Shimura Danzo gritted his teeth, turned around, and disappeared into the sandstorm.

A high platform not far away.

After Natsume abandoned Rasa and the others, the rest of the group slowly came to their senses.

Am I dreaming?

Kurenai Yuhi opened her mouth wide enough to fit a fist.

This fully demonstrates her shock.

The image of Natsume displaying his incredible power was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Just thinking about it makes me want to clench my legs together.

Yes, I was trembling and couldn't stand up straight.

"It can't be a dream."

Kakashi Hatake lowered his head and scrutinized Rasa with his Sharingan.

It's not an illusion, nor is it a clone or transformation technique.

It is indeed the Wind Shadow.

As a genius of Konoha Village, he became a Jonin at the age of twelve.

By now, we have experienced countless battles, both large and small.

But never before had he been able to personally capture the shadows of the five great villages like this.

He suddenly thought of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Despite being called the strongest Hokage, his battle record was actually quite poor.

Hashirama Senju, however, truly deserves this title.

Because he quelled the chaos and truly defeated the shadow of the Five Great Villages.

Now another Hokage has achieved this level.

Moreover, it was done in an extremely relaxed state.

Kakashi Hatake exhaled.

The Hidden Leaf Village should become quite exciting from now on.

It's unlikely that a situation like that of Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara will ever happen again.

"Kakashi, get fired up!"

Might Guy clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face like a waterfall. "He's too strong! Hokage-sama! I really want to have a youthful and passionate battle with him!"

His tone was full of fighting spirit.

"..."

Kakashi Hatake glanced at him, unsure of what to say.

Although Might Guy with all eight gates open is indeed very strong, he doubts whether a kick would be effective against a Thousand-Armed Guanyin who is thousands of times larger than him.

Besides, Natsume also has the Flying Thunder God Technique; he could be worn down even by flying a kite.

"Hizashi-sama."

Kakashi Hatake withdrew his gaze and asked, "Should we go back now?"

With Rasa and the others in trouble, the ninjas of Sunagakure will certainly not let this go unpunished.

Natsume has gone off to chase after Shimura Danzo, and it's unknown when he'll return.

If the Sand Village ninjas had surrounded them at that moment, it would probably have been another fierce battle.

Especially the two advisors, Chiyo and Ebizo, are not to be trifled with.

"what?"

Hyuga Hizashi responded subconsciously.

He was still in a state of extreme confusion.

Natsume's immense power made him realize just how strong ninjas could be.

Even the legendary Hashirama Senju was probably no match for this.

No wonder Hiashi Hyuga treats Natsume with such special regard.

He even gave away his own daughter.

Under normal circumstances, has the clan ever married or been married off to someone from another ethnic group?

Hyuga Hizashi was a great pity at this point.

Why did he have a son?

If it's a daughter, then you can establish a connection.

Looking back now, even though he became a Hokage advisor, his strategy was still inferior to that of Hiashi Hyuga.

The Hokage's son-in-law is clearly superior to him.

"Hizashi-sama."

Kakashi Hatake repeated, "We should set off back to Konoha immediately."

You're right.

Hyuga Hizashi immediately concealed his complicated expression and became decisive, "Everyone, leave immediately."

The group carried Luo Sha and the others on their backs and then turned and walked away.

About half an hour later, several dark figures landed.

Leading the group was Chiyo, with short, light purple hair and a face full of wrinkles.

Looking at the desert filled with forests before her, she slowly closed her eyes.

In her perception, there was an immense life force.

"That's terrifying."

Chiyo took a deep breath and said, "Konoha has produced another Wood Release master. It will be difficult for Sunagakure to achieve anything more."

"What should we do now?"

Ebizo's previously calm expression crumbled, and his heart turned icy cold.

With the Kazekage Rasa and Jinchuriki Gaara captured, Sunagakure was in its most critical moment.

They want to get them back, but they don't know how much they'll have to pay.

But if they don't change it, Sunagakure might be removed from the list of the Five Great Villages.

The Hidden Cloud Village, which has always coveted them, will probably launch an attack immediately.

"There is no other way but to sue for peace and form an alliance."

Chiyo gritted her teeth, looking helpless, and said, "This matter originated from Rasa, and our Sunagakure is in the wrong. Now we can only hope that this new Hokage will be more agreeable, like Hiruzen Sarutobi."

For an average ninja, it takes three days to travel from Sunagakure to Konoha.

But the news obviously spread much faster.

Even before Hyuga Hizashi and the others returned to Konoha, the ninja world was already in an uproar.

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

Tsunade was sleeping with her head on the table.

Shizune looked at her with a helpless expression.

Without Natsume, she reverted to her lazy self.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Tsunade suddenly woke up, and there were even words left on her delicate face.

"Face."

"Mute me," the voice reminded.

"oh."

Tsunade wiped her face nonchalantly and said, "It must be a message from Sunagakure."

"Come in."

Jingyin nodded and then called out to the door.

"Lady Tsunade."

A ninja from the Anbu appeared and handed over a letter.

"Go down."

Tsunade waved her hand, opened the letter, glanced at it, and couldn't help but laugh, "Just as I thought."

Before Natsume left, he told Shimura Danzo about the Dragon Vein.

Although Sunagakure was also involved, the result was perfect.

"How is it?"

Shizune asked, holding the pink piglet.

"See for yourself."

Tsunade's face lit up with pride as she said, "This will definitely surprise you."

This is the man she chose.

He does a good job wherever he is.

Thinking of this, she licked her lips. How should she reward him for such a great achievement?

"How is that possible?!"

Jingyin only saw one line of text before her pupils contracted sharply, and she blurted out four words.

As mentioned above, Natsume captured the Kazekage Rasa and the One-Tailed Jinchuriki Gaara.

At this moment, she began to wonder if the secret service had made a mistake in their intelligence.

Rasa was one thing, but they even managed to capture a single tail.

Has her junior brother become this powerful without her even realizing it?

"Shizune, go and inform everyone to have a meeting, and also tell the villagers of Konoha about this."

Tsunade stood up, displaying the decisiveness of a Hokage, "How can I face Natsume if I don't extort a good amount from Sunagakure this time?"

Meanwhile, the various ninja clans received the news just one step too late.

Hyuga clan.

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Because he knew that Natsume had the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Now, Wood Release has been revealed.

Isn't he a combination of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?

Hiashi Hyuga was incredibly grateful that he hadn't done anything foolish.

Otherwise, the Hyuga clan, which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, would be destroyed in his hands.

The three families: pig, deer, and butterfly.

"Shikaku, it has to be you again."

A smile appeared on Akimichi Choza's chubby face.

He was referring to several Jonin meetings where Nara Shikaku asked them to support Natsume.

From serving as Hokage's assistant to becoming Hokage himself, he never voiced any dissent.

At first they didn't understand, but now it seems to be the wisest choice.

"Actually, I didn't expect him to have such terrifying strength."

Nara Shikaku remarked with a sigh, "Even the Third Hokage couldn't compare to him."

"Moreover, it is a Wood Release technique with special significance."

Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly thought of his daughter, Yamanaka Ino.

Natsume is still unmarried.

Moreover, he was very young, only a few years younger than Yamanaka Ino.

If it succeeds, wouldn't the mountain tribe take off immediately?

The Sarutobi clan's stronghold.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was frozen in place as if by a spell.

How could this happen?

He knew that from this day forward, he could be Hokage for life, as long as Natsume was willing.

"There's something wrong with his Wood Release technique."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of his Senju clan bloodline.

It's clear that Tsunade was hiding the real reason she adopted him.

"A fake is still a fake."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh.

The Jonin of the Sarutobi clan who transplanted Wood Release techniques would be lucky to have even one percent of its power, let alone be on par with it.

The peaceful village of Konoha was thrown into turmoil by Natsume's extraordinary achievements.

Some of the older villagers shouted, "They're back! They're all back!"

They were fortunate enough to witness the era of Hashirama Senju when they were young, which made their feelings even deeper.

Those who had never seen anything like it were overjoyed, as if it were New Year's Day, upon hearing of such a terrible victory.

For a time, Konoha was filled with joy.

Four thousand characters.
