Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 188 Mom, where's Dad?

"Your Highness, Goddess."

Natsume knocked on the door and entered the room.

Kaguya Otsutsuki sat by the window, gazing at the distant sky.

This is her usual state.

Upon hearing Natsume's voice, she turned her head, her white eyes falling on him.

After two years of getting along, she had completely trusted her servant.

It even led to a slight dependency.

Because she does nothing, she can still accumulate a decent amount of chakra every day.

She had thought about what she would do if Natsume left her one day due to the end of his life.

They would definitely be at a complete loss.

She was someone who didn't know much to begin with, and this tendency became even more pronounced after Natsume came into her life.

The simplest way to put it is that she was raised to be a useless person.

Aside from possessing immense power, he has to rely on Natsume for everything.

In short, this servant is very good.

She was somewhat reluctant to part with it.

"I need you to help me find someone."

Suppressing her sudden thoughts, Kaguya Otsutsuki said expressionlessly, "He is my enemy, named Isshiki Otsutsuki."

"Any clues?"

Natsume asked calmly, "As long as there are distinctive features, the entire ninja world can search for you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Why didn't I think of Skynet?

Although those ants are not strong, they have the advantage of numbers.

Moreover, given Otsutsuki Isshiki's arrogance, he would disdain these weeds.

If you're not prepared, you might get found.

If Kaguya Otsutsuki went to find it herself, there was almost no hope.

Because Otsutsuki Isshiki knew she wanted to kill him, he would flee without hesitation if he sensed it.

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at Natsume and was once again amazed by his extraordinary wisdom.

I should have told him about Otsutsuki Isshiki beforehand.

Maybe it has already been found.

"He should be residing in some human body right now."

Kaguya Otsutsuki thought for a moment and said, "This human will not age or die, and there will be a black diamond-shaped mark on his palm as a sign."

That's enough.

Natsume smiled and said, "Don't worry, Skynet will definitely find him."

In fact, he knew slightly more than Kaguya Otsutsuki.

For example, Otsutsuki Isshiki resides in the body of a monk named Jigen.

As long as someone is human, there will be traces of their existence.

Unless he stays in some extremely secluded place.

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at his smile, and the corners of her mouth also curled up slightly.

The worry and anxiety I had felt suddenly lessened considerably.

She pondered for a moment and said, "After you find Otsutsuki Isshiki, I will give you an even better reward."

Natsume's eyes lit up.

What's a better reward than a kiss?

He was suddenly full of energy.

"Your Highness, the Skynet needs your help with something."

Natsume observed her expression and, seeing that she reacted, continued, "I hope you can set up a button on all the login devices that can contact you, because they are about to begin their unification journey and will inevitably encounter gods. If they die, it will take time to rebuild them."

"Can."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded.

She wouldn't let anyone else harvest her leeks.

"Summoning you is certainly not free."

Natsume added, "I will set a reasonable amount of chakra currency."

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at him, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

Or should we transform him into a branch family of the Otsutsuki clan?

It's really useful.

Although Kaguya Otsutsuki had never seen many living beings, she had interacted with the high and mighty Otsutsuki Isshiki, the head of the main family.

Putting aside bloodline and power, she believed that Natsume was a hundred times better than him.

With him, she felt that her second chakra fruit was not far away.

"What's wrong?"

Natsume was somewhat puzzled.

He could actually sense a hint of aggression in Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes.

This is actually quite common.

This is how she looks every time she checks chakra.

But for humans, this is the first time.

Natsume wondered to himself if he was about to rise to the top and become the master of his own destiny.

"It's nothing."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki withdrew her gaze and said, "Go ahead and get busy. I'll teach you the summoning technique in a couple of days."

Natsume nodded, not daring to ask any more questions, and could only suppress his curiosity.

Unifying the world is a major undertaking.

Although Natsume has already issued the mission, he does not want the players' strength to be scattered.

After all, they are still relatively weak.

Encountering the three holy sites or deities could result in total annihilation.

Therefore, Natsume asked Kaguya Otsutsuki to grant him the method of summoning.

Kaguya, save me.

This ninjutsu is the real forbidden technique.

He also has a login program, and it's free; he can use it freely in the future.

At least in this world, he is invincible.

Being a kept man is indeed delicious.

Natsume walked to the plaza while pondering.

He had now designated the plaza as a skills learning area, with two resident mentors.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki.

Speaking of those two, Natsume could only feel envy.

The former was born with the Rinnegan, while the latter was born with the Byakugan.

In addition, their talent is too abnormal.

I can learn anything after seeing it only once.

Natsume had no gaming experience whatsoever.

Being a teacher is so frustrating it makes me want to vomit blood.

Is this child only two years old?!

In terms of strength, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, also known as the Sage of Six Paths, is almost surpassing him.

Otsutsuki Hamura, on the other hand, is a bit slow-witted, which may be related to his personality.

Very easygoing.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki already has the air of the Sage of Six Paths from later generations.

Calm, intelligent, and composed.

However, for Natsume, he is an excellent tool.

He has already arranged for Hagoromo Otsutsuki to develop the Five Elements Escape Technique.

With his experience from later generations as a foundation, it was much faster than creating something from scratch.

Therefore, Hagoromo Otsutsuki admired him quite a bit.

They can come up with an interesting ninjutsu very easily.

Hmm, what's this called?

Natsume thought to himself, "This is how I teach myself."

"teacher."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki greeted him quite politely.

"teacher!"

The same address was doubled in volume by Otsutsuki Hamura, accompanied by a warm smile.

"How is the situation?"

Natsume nodded and asked.

"They seem to be learning very slowly."

Hamura Otsutsuki scratched his head and asked, "Why is that?"

Because you're not human.

Natsume thought to himself, but said aloud, "It's a matter of talent. You and your brother are true prodigies with extremely high talent, while they are much less gifted."

"oh!"

Hamura Otsutsuki beamed with excitement, exclaiming, "So I'm a genius after all!"

"Your teaching work for today is now concluded."

Natsume patted Hamura Otsutsuki on the shoulder and said, "Go play."

After all, he's only two years old, and his natural instinct is to play.

Hearing him say that, the two of them happily left the square.

"I have released the first main quest: Unify the World."

Natsume turned to look at the crowd in the plaza and said, "There are many side quests under the main quest, each with its own rewards, so let's all do our best."

"yes!"

A chorus of responses rang out.

Although Natsume calls them players, they are far from being the so-called Fourth Calamity.

After all, they are quite obedient.

"Next, you three thousand will form the first ninja army of the Ancestral Kingdom, and we'll call it the Goddess Army."

Natsume casually picked out a name and said, "You will rest for three days, and then set off for our neighboring country, the Land of the Others, to take them down."

The cheers were even louder this time.

That country is stronger than our ancestral country in terms of national strength.

In addition, the two countries are geographically close and have a history of friction.

But each time, it ended with the ancestral country suffering a loss.

Over time, an irreconcilable hatred developed between the two countries.

Now that they have a chance to take revenge, they are naturally very excited.

"There's also a hidden quest that will unlock once you meet certain conditions."

Natsume said with a smile, "If you complete it, there will be a very generous reward."

The hidden mission is to find Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Of course, he didn't directly state his name, but only wrote down his characteristics.

Seeing the fighting spirit on everyone's faces, Natsume left the plaza with satisfaction.

And in a very far place, not a single toad could be seen.

Mt. Miaomu.

Gamamaru, also known as the Toad Sage, listened to the report with a solemn expression.

In the past two years, it has been focusing on Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and Hamura Otsutsuki.

As for Natsume, he ignored him.

Because he looks like an ordinary human being, just a lucky one chosen by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

No, they shouldn't be called lucky ones, they should be called unlucky ones.

He was destined to die.

But now the Toad Sage suddenly realizes a big problem.

It was unaware when Skynet appeared.

By the time the army of three thousand ninjas was formed, it probably knew what Kaguya Otsutsuki wanted to do.

Harvest humans in a gentle way to feed the sacred tree.

Given Kaguya Otsutsuki's personality, it's absolutely impossible for her to come up with something so bizarre.

There is only one murderer.

Natsume.

The toad immortal's skin was iron-colored and bluish-black.

It is truly hateful that humans should submit to aliens!

But it also has its doubts.

Why is Natsume not mentioned in its prophecy?

It was as if he had appeared out of thin air.

Not scientific.

Why was Kaguya Otsutsuki able to pick just anyone and yet be so intelligent?

Is she truly a person of destiny?

"Go and inform the gods in all places that they must stop them."

The toad immortal gave the order in a deep voice.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was no match for him, but these three thousand ninjas were easily defeated.

By stopping them, we can slow their progress.

Besides, Natsume absolutely cannot be allowed to live.

In just two years, so much trouble has been caused.

If this continues, things will get really bad.

Even a powerful but unintelligent Kaguya Otsutsuki could defeat her.

But how do you fight someone who has both strength and wisdom?

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"It's so delicious!"

Hamura Otsutsuki wolfed down his food, while simultaneously expressing his amazement.

"Hamura, don't shout while eating."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki chewed his food elegantly and offered a reminder.

Kaguya Otsutsuki tilted her head slightly, glanced at the two brothers, pursed her lips, and revealed a gentle smile.

At this moment, she showed a hint of maternal radiance.

Although she is still essentially a young girl.

"Mom, I have a question about the book my teacher gave me yesterday."

Ignoring Hagoromo's hint, Hamura Otsutsuki looked up and asked.

The books Natsume gave them weren't obtained through the exchange of the Destiny Rings; they simply existed in this world all along.

What if these two can't figure it out and instead of becoming ninjas, they run off to become emperors?

That would be so much fun!

"What is it?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki asked calmly.

"It says that all children are the fruit of their parents' love, but what about my father?"

"I asked with a naive yet curious look on my face," said Otsutsuki Hamura.

"The fruit of love?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki subconsciously looked at Natsume.

His eyes were filled with confusion.

What is love?

Why can a man and a woman have a child when they are together?

Natsume noticed her gaze and his expression stiffened.

He understands the principle.

But how do you explain this thing?

"I understand!"

Hamura Otsutsuki glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki, then at Natsume.

The clever little brain was working like crazy.

"My teacher is like my father!"

"Otsutsuki Hamura said excitedly."

There are two reasons for the excitement.

Firstly, he didn't dislike Natsume; on the contrary, he liked his care and his strange ideas.

Secondly, he believed he had figured out his own background.

Natsume was completely dumbfounded.

"Hamura, don't talk nonsense."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was clearly more mature than his brainless younger brother. "Our teacher isn't our father."

He could tell that Natsume and the three of them were not of the same species at all.

The books he read mentioned that only people of the same species could produce offspring.

"Ahem, your mother is a goddess, so she's special."

Natsume glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki.

She should have been the one to explain, but her eyes were unfocused; she was probably still wondering what love was.

"Don't we have a father?"

Hamura Otsutsuki immediately showed a look of disappointment.

"It's okay, you don't have fathers, but you have teachers."

Natsume smiled and offered words of comfort.

Hamura Otsutsuki was still a child at heart; his emotions came and went quickly, and he soon threw himself back into his rice-making endeavors.

"The ninjutsu you requested has been created."

Kaguya Otsutsuki moved her head, came to her senses, and stopped thinking about other things.

"Thanks."

Natsume reached out his hand, thinking to himself that Princess Kaguya was indeed very useful.

Next time, let her create a long-range soft fist technique.

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't say anything, but grasped his hand and transmitted the ninjutsu information to him.

When Ōtsutsuki Hamura saw this, his eyes darted around, as if he was thinking about something.

Natsume carefully reviewed the information in his mind and nodded in agreement.

This summoning ninjutsu perfectly fulfilled his requirements.

Hmm, let's call it Goddess Summoning.

After finishing his meal, Natsume went to the plaza.

"War often means sacrifice."

He began his speech, "Although you are stronger than ordinary warriors, you will still be injured and die. However, we have Her Highness the Goddess, who has shown great mercy and bestowed upon you two divine spells that you may use."

Natsume added the Goddess Summoning and Resurrection Techniques to the Skynet Launcher.

Instantly, the square erupted in countless sounds of shock and cheers.

"Resurrection?! They can actually resurrect?!"

"Doesn't that mean we won't be afraid of death anymore?!"

"..."

"Your Highness!"

Ultimately, all the discussions boiled down to four words.

Natsume smiled. He didn't care about these people's loyalty; after all, a thousand years later, not a single one would be left.

"This expedition will primarily capture prisoners, understand?"

His plan was to select those who submitted to become new players, and to throw those who refused to submit to Kaguya Otsutsuki as White Zetsu.

Natsume was worried that his Skynet would lead to the disappearance of White Zetsu.

That would have too great an impact, and the losses would outweigh the gains.
