Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 198 Ino Wants to Go Out

Returning to the Hokage Building, Natsume felt a pang of emotion.

To outsiders, he only disappeared for two days, but in reality, it was three years.

"Tsunade... Natsume?"

Xi Rihong's red lips parted slightly, showing some surprise.

"Sister Hong".

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

Because Kurenai Yuhi wasn't wearing the women's uniform and pencil skirt anymore; she had changed back into her previous clothes.

The implication is far too obvious.

Is it specifically for my own viewing?

Natsume gave a gentle smile and asked, "Are you so surprised to see me?"

"Because Lady Tsunade suddenly took over, I thought you might not be back so soon."

Kurenai Yuhi snapped out of her daze and explained.

In fact, it's much more than that.

Tsunade's return to power has led many to speculate that Natsume may have been seriously injured in the previous battle and needs to recuperate.

Although the Thousand-Armed Guanyin technique is extremely terrifying, it is well known that the more powerful the ninjutsu, the greater the side effects.

This conjecture is perfectly normal.

However, seeing Natsume return unharmed, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, I'll wear the secretary uniform again tomorrow.

She felt it was inappropriate since Tsunade had been in charge of it before, so she didn't wear it.

"It's good that you're back."

Kurenai looked him up and down and said, "I still prefer dealing with you."

"If the teacher hears you say that, he'll be angry."

Natsume couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

"Then you shouldn't let her know."

Kurenai blinked, a hint of mischief appearing on her face.

Her temperament suddenly gained a touch of alluring charm.

"I will naturally follow what Sister Hong says."

Natsume didn't mind her joke and said, "The teacher definitely won't know."

"These are the terms of the alliance drafted by the secretariat."

Kurenai pursed her lips, in a good mood, and took a few steps forward with her long legs, placing the documents on the table.

"Um."

Natsume opened the file.

The conditions above are not numerous, but each one is quite fatal.

First, Gaara must remain in Konoha.

The second condition is that the puppetry techniques of Sunagakure be handed over.

Thirdly, half of the tasks assigned by the Land of Wind will be given to Konoha Village.

Well, how should I put it?

With these three measures, Sunagakure will have virtually no chance of recovery.

Natsume touched his chin.

Sunagakure will definitely not agree.

But might makes right.

After several rounds of negotiation, they will probably have no choice but to reluctantly agree.

However, Natsume had a better idea.

That's Skynet.

How can we waste so many ninjas from Sunagakure?

It can both harvest chakra and gain fate points.

why not?

One rule in the Holy Ring of Destiny is that a controlled ninja cannot continuously generate Destiny Points.

However, Skynet assigns tasks to them voluntarily, rather than controlling them.

"Who are the people from Sunagakure who came to negotiate?"

Natsume looked up and asked.

"She is Granny Chiyo, the advisor of Sunagakure."

Kurenai Yuhi answered immediately.

Chiyo?

swimsuit?

Natsume gasped, quickly banishing the inappropriate thoughts from his mind.

Gan!

It's all the fault of those silly netizens from his past life, who created a stereotype in him.

After Rasa and Gaara were captured, Chiyo and Ebizo were the only two people in Sunagakure who still held considerable prestige.

Natsume wasn't surprised.

"Where is Luo Sha now?"

"He was imprisoned in the secret service."

Kurenai Yuhi added, "Because it is the Kazekage, and the matter is of great importance, he was not imprisoned in Konoha's heavy punishment room."

The Konoha Heavy Prison, also known as Konoha Prison, is under the jurisdiction of the Konoha Police Department.

Prisons are actually quite safe.

However, the location is relatively clear, and it is highly likely that the village of Sunagakure will attempt to break them out of prison.

They were imprisoned by the secret police, and apart from a few people, no one knew where they were.

In terms of security, it is clearly superior.

"I need to speak with Chiyo and Rasa alone."

Natsume put down the documents and said, "Go and prepare. It's in the conference room, but no one else is allowed to come near."

"Yes."

Kurenai nodded, though she had some doubts, she didn't ask.

Because Tsunade's previous order was to conduct open negotiations and demonstrate Konoha's victory in front of many Jonin.

Natsume's plan, however, was completely the opposite.

However, Kurenai Yuhi is very self-aware.

She will serve whoever is currently the Hokage.

"Red Sister, how is Yakumo Kurama doing now?"

Natsume suddenly remembered the little girl who possessed a special genjutsu bloodline limit.

"She wanted to become a ninja, but her body wouldn't allow it."

Kurenai Yuhi's face showed worry as she said, "If this continues, her health will gradually deteriorate."

"You don't need to stop her."

Natsume understood where the problem lay in her body.

I couldn't handle it before, but I can solve it now.

Kurenai paused, her gaze falling on his face.

She had some doubts at first, but then she remembered his powerful expression that day, and she immediately felt relieved.

With that kind of strength, they should be able to cure Kurama Yakumo.

"Have her come see me in a couple of days when she's free."

Natsume pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Yes."

Kurenai bowed slightly, the black mesh of her upper body revealing her flesh-colored skin.

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

Hidden.

How come we only found out about something this big now?

Natsume leaned back in the Hokage chair, watching her departing figure, and couldn't help but stretch.

He didn't actually have many thoughts on it.

But as a man, it's normal to look at beautiful women, right?

After Natsume had been slacking off for half an hour, the Hokage's office was opened again.

It is a mountain well and field.

"Natsume-kun!"

The girl's tone was upbeat, making her sound quite youthful.

Her eyes lit up with admiration as she continued, "Natsume-kun, you're amazing!"

Yamanaka Ino was undoubtedly referring to the incident a few days ago when he brutally beat up Sunagakure.

Every girl dreams of being a hero.

Natsume naturally fits this standard.

And it was someone she liked.

Yes, double the happiness.

Being stared at with such a beautiful girl's gaze, Natsume was quite happy.

He waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing to mention."

Natsume-kun is definitely no ordinary person.

If it were anyone else, they would have been spreading the word all over the world by now.

Yamanaka Ino's eyes shone even brighter as she looked at him.

Hehe, the man I've got my eye on.

She subconsciously bit her lip and asked, "Natsume-kun, I wonder if you could take me out with you next time?"

Yamanaka Ino went up.

Natsume was somewhat surprised, and couldn't help but smile as he looked at her cute appearance.

"Learning medical ninjutsu must be boring, right?"

No.

Yamanaka Ino quickly shook her head and said, "I believe that practical experience is a faster way to improve, so I want to go on missions with Natsume-kun."

The reason is quite well-made.

Natsume's gaze fell on her fair forehead as he asked, "How is your Yin Seal progressing?"

She has been studying medical ninjutsu under Tsunade for over three years.

In the original work, Sakura Haruno took three years.

Even if she was a little short, she should still have achieved something.

"My teacher said that because I'm young, I accumulate chakra more slowly, so it will take me a long time."

Yamanaka Ino smiled, then changed the subject, saying, "At most, it will be another year before you can successfully complete your training."

"It seems your medical ninja skills are quite good."

Natsume pondered for a moment, then nodded under her expectant gaze and said, "I'll take you out next time."

Yamanaka Ino waved her arms excitedly.

Her blonde hair fell freely as she moved.

She reached out, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing."

Natsume smiled and said, "As the Hokage, how can I refuse a beautiful young woman's request?"

Pretty girl?

Yamanaka Ino's heart tightened, and she subconsciously lowered her head, her face turning red.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

She immediately looked up in alarm.

But the next moment, she froze.

Why should I panic?

Yamanaka Ino took a deep breath, and her slender and shapely waist and abdomen rose and fell slightly.

"Natsume-kun, I won't bother you anymore."

She opened the door, exchanged a glance with Yuhi Kurenai, and then quickly left.

Ino?

Kurenai came to her senses and, as a woman, noticed the lingering blush on her face.

She clearly likes Natsume.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising.

Natsume is just too good.

The Hokage is of high status, strong, and handsome.

Which girl wouldn't be tempted?

Kurenai sighed, then regained her composure.

"Natsume, Granny Chiyo and Rasa are already waiting in the conference room."

"Um."

Natsume got up and went to the conference room.

Kurenai stopped at the door, neither going in nor leaving, but instead stood guard at the entrance.

She is the Hokage's secretary and also serves as his bodyguard.

It is perfectly reasonable for me to stand here.

Natsume opened the door.

Chiyo and Rasa immediately stopped talking and turned their attention to him.

The two people have different expressions.

Luo Sha saw the true thousands of hands and the Buddha on the top of his head.

When he saw Natsume again, he remembered what had happened a few days ago, and fear naturally appeared on his face.

He estimates he will never forget that horrifying scene for the rest of his life.

After fear comes regret.

If it weren't for Danzo Shimura's instigation, how could he have developed such inappropriate thoughts?

Because under normal circumstances, Sunagakure would never wage war against Konoha.

Damn Danzo!

Luo Sha cursed incessantly in his heart.

Although Chiyo did not participate in that battle, she already knew the general situation.

She was more open-minded than Luo Sha.

The victor is king, the loser is villain; there's nothing more to say.

Besides, Luo Sha's judgment was not wrong at all.

The only problem is that Natsume's strength far exceeds expectations.

Chiyo couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion when she thought of him as Tsunade's apprentice.

The Second Shinobi World War.

Sunagakure and Konoha have clashed before.

Chiyo was considered the strongest puppeteer and the most powerful poison master at the time.

Relying on her astonishing poison, Sunagakure once gained the upper hand.

Until Tsunade appeared, all her poisons were neutralized.

In addition, Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, killed her son and daughter-in-law.

Ultimately, this led to the failure of Sunagakure.

Chiyo considered Tsunade her lifelong rival and always thought about how she could defeat her again.

But unexpectedly, her apprentice was even more skilled, driving Sunagakure to the brink of despair.

Konoha Village truly produces many talented individuals.

"Grandma Chiyo, I've long admired your name."

Natsume greeted him with a smile, saying, "I've often heard my teacher mention you."

Actually not.

Tsunade would never bring up the Second Shinobi World War.

He was referring to his past life; he had indeed long admired his reputation.

Chiyo was slightly taken aback.

She seemed easier to talk to than she had imagined.

Chiyo nodded and said, "Your Hokage is young and accomplished; I admire you greatly."

Three thousand characters.
