Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 192 Striving to Kidnap Princess Kaguya

The unforgettable night has come to an end.

Natsume lay on his bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window.

A moment later, he raised his arm and his gaze fell on the Holy Ring of Destiny.

"How many Destiny Points are needed to bring Kaguya back to the ninja world?"

"Five thousand points of destiny."

A line of text quickly appeared before his eyes.

Holy crap?

So expensive?

Are you going to get yourself hung on a streetlight for doing that?

But upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

Five thousand points is not only not expensive, but also quite reasonable.

Natsume spent 3,900 points to exchange for the Immortal Body.

But can the value of a Sage's body compare to that of Kaguya Otsutsuki?

Definitely not.

Spending 5,000 Destiny Points to exchange for Kaguya Otsutsuki is an absolute steal!

Of course, this is on the premise that the level of affection is high enough.

Otherwise, it'll be a complete disaster.

Can I buy on credit?

Natsume doesn't have 5,000 Destiny Points yet; he's still short by more than 1,000.

Moreover, there are not many ways to obtain Destiny Points in this world.

It would probably take a very long time to accumulate 5,000 Destiny Points.

Why not go back to the ninja world and grind it out again?

Seeing that the Destiny Ring was not responding, Natsume began to reason with it.

"After all these years, don't you understand me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would default on debts? Besides, with Kaguya, my rate of acquiring Destiny Points will double, and it won't be long before I can pay off my debts..."

Yes, this theory is actually the same as the principle behind establishing Skynet.

He's been dealing with Kaguya Otsutsuki for the past few years, so he's become very accustomed to speaking her.

Soon, a pleasant notification sound rang out.

[Loan Agreement: For the host's use only. A loan of 2,000 Destiny Points is available, with a five-year repayment period. Exceeding the period will require repayment of double the amount.]

Natsume let out a breath, feeling much more relaxed.

With this prop, he had no more worries.

Next came the implementation of the plan to kidnap Kaguya Otsutsuki.

His plan was to have her fight Isshiki Otsutsuki and put him at a disadvantage.

At that moment, he would have a reason to rescue her.

Kaguya Otsutsuki wouldn't blame him for acting on his own.

Although she was immortal, Natsume was unaware of this, and in a moment of desperation, it was normal to take her away at a great cost.

And this was indeed saving him.

Without Natsume, she would have been locked in a dark room for a thousand years.

A terrible situation.

In theory, Otsutsuki Isshiki is stronger.

Based on his performance in the original work, his combat experience completely surpasses that of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

But now that he's injured, he doesn't dare to come out.

Someone—no, a toad—needs to lend him a hand.

Mount Myoboku has a treasure called the Immortal's Talisman.

In the original work, he once saved Hamura Otsutsuki.

Otsutsuki Isshiki's life level is higher, so it's impossible for him to return to his peak based on that.

Natsume also did not believe that the talisman of the immortals had such power.

But it should allow Isshiki Otsutsuki to recover a significant amount of his strength.

"I need a mole."

Natsume narrowed his eyes, thinking of the Slug Sage.

In the previous operations, we only saw the Toad Sage and the White Snake Sage, but not it.

Based on his understanding of it, I guess it's because he doesn't care much about it and is rather indifferent.

After all, it's the only one in Shikkotsu Forest, so there's no other pressure.

It is not as attached to humans as the Toad Sage.

a new day.

After preparing breakfast for the mother and her two children, Natsume teleported to Shikkotsu Forest.

It cost him ten points of fate.

Okay.

Natsume opened his eyes and immediately felt a natural energy far more intense than in later generations.

His arrival was immediately noticed by the Slug Immortal.

But it didn't know it was Natsume, and was quite surprised.

How could there be humans?

In no time, the slug hermit's split body was in front of Natsume.

"How is it you?!"

It could no longer maintain its gentle tone, revealing shock and panic.

Now that Natsume has found the place, does that mean Kaguya Otsutsuki will also descend?

The slug fairy suffered cardiac arrest.

Is its life coming to an end?

"Hello, Slug Sage."

Natsume greeted him.

He did not use his true identity; he remained the emperor of the Ancestral Kingdom.

In fact, he always used a false identity except when he was in front of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Hello...

The slug fairy tilted its head, its eyes revealing an unusual glint.

This human doesn't seem to have any ill intentions.

Furthermore, they did not detect any trace of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"I hope to work with you."

Natsume got straight to the point.

"cooperate?"

The slug fairy instinctively wanted to refuse; it had never intended to betray the three holy lands.

But in this situation, it's not easy to refuse.

Kaguya Otsutsuki hasn't appeared yet, but it knows that this human in front of it has a very close relationship with her.

"What kind of cooperation?"

The Slug Immortal decided to listen to what was said first.

"Go find Isshiki Otsutsuki, use the Sage Talisman to save him, and then go deal with Kaguya."

Natsume said calmly.

"what?"

The slug fairy was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

This human has a sudden change of heart and wants to betray Kaguya Otsutsuki?

It was so shocked that it didn't even realize that Natsume knew about the Sage's Talisman.

"You're willing to help us?!"

The slug fairy blurted out.

"This is not helping, it's cooperating."

Natsume corrected his statement.

"..."

The slug fairy stared at him, trying to find any trace of his lying.

But it didn't.

Is it true?

"I have no reason to lie to you."

Natsume raised his bracelet, which was the Skynet login device, and said, "If I wanted to, Kaguya would immediately descend here and kill you, but I didn't. That's my sincerity."

The slug fairy's body trembled.

I wasn't angry at his threat; on the contrary, I thought he made a lot of sense.

But it always felt too out of place.

Natsume's betrayal came without any warning.

It looks problematic no matter how you look at it.

"I agree to cooperate."

The slug immortal put aside his many thoughts and nodded.

Now is not the time to think about problems.

If they don't agree, they'll have to face Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Who can stand this?

"A wise choice."

Natsume smiled, took out a summoning scroll, and said, "This is a gift for you."

"What is this?"

The slug fairy's eyes showed curiosity.

"You can use it to make contracts with humans, making them work for you and act as your representatives."

Natsume explained, "In return, you can teach them sage techniques and natural energy."

"Who exactly are you?"

The slug sage asked incredulously, "Why do you know so much about the three holy lands? And how can you use natural energy?"

"I'm just a ninja passing by."

Natsume glanced at it and said in a teasing tone.

The next second, he returned to the Ancestral Kingdom.

[Because of your actions, the fates of Isshiki Otsutsuki, the Toad Sage, the White Snake Sage, and the Slug Sage have changed. You have gained a total of 100 Fate Points.]

This trip was pretty good.

Natsume nodded in satisfaction.

The Metropolis of the Land of Demons.

A certain izakaya (Japanese pub).

Many people looked at the monk in the corner with great curiosity.

He was wolfing down his lunch.

There was wine and meat; it looked quite luxurious.

They didn't look like monks at all.

Cixian didn't care about their opinions at all.

Because in his eyes, they were just a bunch of ants.

He is none other than Otsutsuki Isshiki.

After being severely injured, it took up residence in Cixian's body.

In order to restore his strength, he traveled around, searching for usable resources.

Unfortunately, this world is too barren, with no rare and precious natural treasures.

He estimated that it would take a thousand years to fully recover.

Thinking of this, hatred appeared on his face.

Damn Kaguya Otsutsuki!

This lowly clansman!

They pushed him to such a wretched state.

She herself was revered as the Goddess of the Rabbit, and acted arrogantly and domineeringly.

How ridiculous!

They are clearly the intruders.

Humans are incredibly stupid.

Not far from him, a young man was cautiously observing him.

Monks, plus special markings.

It should be the person described in the hidden quest.

The young man couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This hidden quest has been available for quite some time.

But no player has completed it yet.

Even many experts couldn't solve it.

Now the opportunity has been given to him.

He was already fantasizing about soaring to great heights with the rewards from this mission, and maybe even making it onto the player leaderboard.

In that case, one would have the opportunity to meet Her Highness the Goddess and become a person of high status.

The young man immediately contacted the official customer service.

The next second, Natsume had already received the message.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

He disguised himself as an ordinary human and entered the izakaya, where he immediately confirmed Jigen's identity.

However, he did not inform Kaguya Otsutsuki, but instead informed the Slug Sage.

After finishing her meal, Cixian returned to her mansion.

He is a person who knows how to enjoy life.

The reason we came to the Land of Demons is because it is the only country that Kaguya Otsutsuki spared.

Although I don't quite understand it, it is undoubtedly safer than other places.

He knew that Kaguya Otsutsuki had been looking for him.

The goal of unifying the world also stems from the desire for more manpower.

But it's no use.

Unless Kaguya Otsutsuki herself appears, no one can see through his disguise.

As for the Skynet, given his arrogant personality, he naturally wouldn't bother to find out.

"A toad?"

As soon as Cixian opened the door, she saw an orange toad and was taken aback.

What happened?

He was confident that he would never be found.

Even if they are found, they shouldn't be natives of this world.

The three holy sites sound quite plausible.

But in his eyes, they were nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs, things he could crush at will.

"I am Gamamaru from Mount Myōboku."

The Toad Sage spoke directly, "We can cooperate to defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"ridiculous!"

Upon hearing this, Cixian sneered without hesitation, "You think you're worthy?"

"We are indeed no match for Kaguya Otsutsuki, but you are."

The Toad Sage smiled and said.

"Of course I can."

Cixian raised her chin and said proudly, "She has always been my defeated opponent."

But then he quickly remembered that he was no match for him now, and suddenly felt a little irritated.

"Get out of here!"

Jigen did not make a move because he was worried that Kaguya Otsutsuki would notice.

"We can help you recover from your injuries."

The Toad Immortal ignored his attitude and offered his bargaining chip: "The three holy lands have existed since ancient times. Because of the wonders of natural energy, we possess some excellent things."

Cixian's eyes lit up immediately.

He knew that the Toad Sage's purpose was nothing more than to make him and Kaguya Otsutsuki both suffer heavy losses so that he could gain an advantage.

But he also found it hard to bear his current extremely weak state.

If he can return to his peak, what is there to fear?

Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki had devoured the Chakra Fruit, she still wouldn't be his match.

He thought about it and agreed.

Even though he was seriously injured, it was still a piece of cake for him to deal with three so-called immortals.

Since that's the case, why not give it a try?

Three thousand characters.
