Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 203 The Whirlpool of Revenge, Ena

"What are the Sage of Six Paths' divine weapons? What are their uses?"

After his initial excitement, Naruto's curiosity grew, and he asked, "Is it incredibly powerful?"

"It must be pretty impressive."

Natsume recalled his past life and said, "It was called the Box of Bliss, and it could grant one wish to the person who opened it."

"Can I have any wish?"

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly interrupted and asked.

"Is Sasuke interested too?"

Naruto Uzumaki was somewhat surprised and asked.

Sasuke Uchiha did not answer his question, but looked at Natsume expectantly.

At that moment, he was thinking about the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If I wish to open my eyes, will it come true?

"Any wish is possible."

Natsume smiled slightly and nodded.

"Wow!"

Naruto's eyes widened, drool dripping from his mouth, and he exclaimed, "Then I'll have an endless supply of Ichiraku Ramen from now on!"

Uchiha Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth.

What kind of crazy wish is that?

What a waste!

You might as well give this wish to me.

I'll pay for all my Ichiraku Ramen from now on.

Anyway, he is quite wealthy.

"Teacher, can I open it?"

Ignoring Naruto's wish, Sasuke Uchiha asked.

"Can."

Natsume waved his hand dismissively.

He thought to himself, "I've really fallen into a trap."

Hinata Hyuga didn't react much when she heard this.

She had no particular wishes.

Even if it exists, it has already been largely achieved.

Naruto, on the other hand, was somewhat frustrated because his chance had been stolen.

But since it's Uchiha Sasuke after all, it's fine to give it to him.

And so he quickly regained his energetic self.

"Teacher, what are the requirements for this task?"

Hinata Hyuga asked the question.

Neither of the teammates seemed to care much about the specifics.

She was still considered a traditional ninja.

"The place you are going to is called Ghost Lantern Castle, a prison on a deserted island surrounded by the sea with sheer cliffs on all sides."

Natsume casually picked up a piece of information and said, "The Box of Paradise is inside Hozuki Castle, but only one person knows its exact location: the lord of Hozuki Castle, the Jonin Muwashi of Kusagakure."

Will he tell us?

Uchiha Sasuke frowned and asked.

"Of course not."

Natsume shook his head and said.

Wuwei was appointed as the lord of Ghost Lantern Castle because it made it easier for him to carry out his duties.

He specifically used the chakra of ninja prisoners to feed the Box of Bliss, causing it to open and resurrecting his son, Wugou.

In the original work, after absorbing the Nine-Tails' power from Naruto Uzumaki, he finally achieved his goal.

Unfortunately, the resurrected Wugou was already possessed by a monster.

In fact, the so-called all-powerful wish-granting machine of the Box of Bliss is a deception.

No matter what the wish is, in the end it will release a monster called Wu.

Enlightenment has two capabilities.

First, it is immortal and indestructible.

Second, it reads emotions.

It's somewhat similar to mind reading; it can easily detect an enemy's emotions and use that to judge their behavior.

This means that you can't let your mind wander when you're fighting it.

Otherwise, you won't be able to hit it.

These two abilities clearly originate from Yin Escape.

Natsume asked Uchiha Sasuke to open the Box of Elysium for this very reason.

If he absorbs it, he might be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

But I don't know if he can handle it.

Besides, Natsume also wanted to know if this thing was a divine artifact left behind by the Sage of Six Paths.

"Should we go directly to arrest Wuwei?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked again.

"no."

Natsume fabricated a reason, saying, "Hozuki Castle and our Konoha have a friendly cooperative relationship. We cannot rashly attack Wuwei, as it would damage our reputation."

Actually, this statement isn't exactly a lie.

Hozuki Castle is a prison built under commission from various countries, essentially an international prison.

Wuwei did indeed maintain a good relationship with Konoha Village.

"Let's go and have a chat with this uncle."

Naruto Uzumaki gave a bright smile and said, "Now that Natsume-sensei is so amazing, he'll definitely give us face."

Natsume glanced at him.

These kinds of words were probably taught to us by Minato Namikaze or Kushina Uzumaki.

But unfortunately, it was of little use.

Wuwei would never hand over the Box of Bliss, since it concerned the life and death of his son.

If it weren't for the fact that Mugou was involved, he might have chosen to give up because of Natsume and the strength of Konoha.

"Do you think a teacher's influence is that useful?"

Natsume retorted, "Besides, this is your mission. You can't just do nothing, can you?"

"That seems to be true."

Naruto scratched his head and said.

"Alright."

Natsume clapped his hands and instructed, "Only prisoners are allowed to enter Hozuki Castle. You will have to disguise yourselves as prisoners."

"no problem."

Naruto Uzumaki pumped his fist, full of fighting spirit, and asked, "When do we set off?"

"No need to set off."

Natsume's lips curled into a smile as he said, "I'll just tie you and Sasuke up and send them to Hozuki Castle."

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki was stunned.

Is this how you complete a task?

Uchiha Sasuke, on the other hand, remained relatively calm.

Since he had already guessed it, he wasn't surprised.

Since he was a prisoner, he must have been escorted by Konoha to Hozuki Castle.

But why isn't Hinata Hyuga included?

Uchiha Sasuke curled his lip.

He felt he had discovered Natsume's true nature.

He is biased towards girls.

But he didn't say anything.

Since Natsume found Mikoto Uchiha and the others, Sasuke Uchiha has been very grateful to him.

"What...what should I do?"

Hinata Hyuga looked up in a flustered manner.

Because it wasn't her business, she thought she had been excluded.

"Don't worry, your task is quite important."

Natsume noticed the unease in her eyes and said, "You possess the Byakugan; the only way to find the Box of Elysium is through you."

"Okay...okay."

Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face.

"Sasuke, and Naruto, you two have a very important task ahead of you."

Natsume instructed, "Once you enter the prison, you must try your best to escape and explore Hozuki Castle to determine the possible location of the Box of Elysium."

"Natsume-sensei, don't worry!"

Naruto patted his chest and said, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Although Sasuke Uchiha didn't say anything, his face conveyed the same meaning.

In their eyes, a mere Jonin from Kusagakure was not worth mentioning.

In particular, the strength of the two of them is no less than that of a Jonin.

"Go and prepare. Someone will be looking for you in a couple of days."

Natsume did not remind them to be careful about inaction.

Well, it's good to deflate their arrogance.

Wuwei is an important character in the theatrical version, and his strength is not bad.

Especially his Fire Release technique, which is similar to a sealing technique.

This should give Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki a lot of trouble.

I wonder if the two of them will be able to escape from prison successfully.

If all else fails, we'll have to rely on Natsume.

Anyway, since they both have the Flying Thunder God mark on them, they can't die.

"Natsume-nii-san."

Hinata Hyuga didn't leave. She secretly tugged at the hem of her clothes, looked at him, and asked, "Do I need to go to Hozuki Castle with them?"

"Need not."

Natsume glanced at her, got up, walked to her side, ruffled her hair, and said, "Just follow me."

"OK!"

Hinata Hyuga's eyes brightened slightly, and her tone was somewhat excited.

The mission doesn't matter, as long as I'm with Natsume.

"Natsume-nii-san, I heard from Mother that you're going to take Hanabi as your adopted sister?"

Hinata Hyuga turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with him to prevent him from revealing too much of her emotion.

Are you unhappy?

Natsume reached out and pinched her soft cheek, asking with a half-smile.

"no."

Hinata Hyuga's cheeks flushed, and she waved her hands somewhat hesitantly.

"Hanabi is your sister, so naturally she's my sister too."

Natsume moved his right hand up, twirling her bangs with his fingers, and said, "Don't worry, it won't affect us."

Hinata Hyuga mustered her courage to look at him, but quickly lowered her head again, and finally whispered a "hmm".

Actually, she wasn't jealous of Hinata Hanabi.

Instead, I was a little confused.

If Natsume becomes Hanabi's older brother, then doesn't that mean he's become her own older brother?

In that case, can the two of them still get married?

Hinata Hyuga's worries finally subsided after Hinata's identity was confirmed.

However, for her, being noticed by Natsume was still too embarrassing.

Her face was flushed, and she lowered her head, as if she wanted to press her face to her chest. It seemed that a faint steam was rising from the top of her head.

"Hinata, has anyone ever told you that you're cute?"

Natsume stared at her for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Hinata Hyuga's mind went blank, and she instinctively felt like fainting.

Fortunately, Natsume caught her in time.

But feeling the warmth in her arms, her eyes rolled back and she lost consciousness.

"..."

Natsume hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He didn't do it on purpose.

I never expected that Hinata Hyuga would still faint after spending so much time together.

Yes, the training volume is not enough; we need to continue.

Natsume picked up her small body and took her back to the Hyuga clan.

After that, he arrived at the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Waves.

"Natsume."

Upon seeing him, Ena Uzumaki put down her work, ran to him, and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Natsume asked in a teasing tone.

"Of course it is possible."

Uzumaki Ena glanced at him, her expression somewhat resentful.

She clearly didn't mean it that way.

Natsume couldn't help but kiss her forehead and said, "This is to make amends."

Uzumaki Ena immediately smiled.

"Good girl."

Natsume reached out and gently pinched her delicate face, saying, "I plan to go to Kusagakure."

Uzumaki Ena was stunned.

The Hidden Grass Village was already a rather unfamiliar name to her.

She hadn't heard from him since he was rescued by Natsume.

But she still hasn't forgotten the scenes from her life in Kusagakure.

To this day, it remains her nightmare.

If it weren't for Natsume, she would probably be dead.

"What are you going there for?"

Uzumaki Ena took half a step forward and leaned against him.

Only in this way could she feel fearless.

Natsume patted her back and said gently, "Go and take your revenge."

Uzumaki Ena looked up and noticed his doting expression, which made her blush.

"Even if I don't make a move, with your current strength, there are almost no ninjas in Kusagakure who can threaten you."

Natsume pressed his forehead against hers and said, "You could have killed them all."

Uzumaki Ena's eyes widened instinctively.

Kill them all?

She had actually had this thought before.

But lacking the ability, they could only bury it deep in their hearts.

Later, she devoted herself entirely to Natsume, and the matter of revenge gradually faded from her memory.

Now that it was suddenly brought up, Uzumaki Ena immediately had something on her mind.

"All I need to do is kill the ninjas who treated me badly in the past."

She is somewhat similar to Naruto Uzumaki; she is kind-hearted by nature and would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Although Natsume didn't think the ninjas were innocent.

Most ninjas had killed people.

"Can."

Natsume smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want."

"Thanks."

Uzumaki Ena instinctively hugged him tighter.

"There's no need to thank me."

Natsume rubbed her head and said, "After all these years, I only just remembered to let you take revenge. I should apologize to you."

"That's not true."

Uzumaki Ena said somewhat shyly, "I've been very happy since leaving Kusagakure. Revenge isn't actually that important to me."

"You're blushing."

Natsume pinched her chin, looking her over from left to right.

Uzumaki Ena instinctively wanted to lower her head, but she couldn't, so she could only meet his gaze and let him admire her.

Her delicate face grew increasingly red, like a ripe apple with a thin, glistening sheen on its surface.

Natsume nodded in satisfaction.

Uzumaki Ena has always held a special place in his heart.

It's probably because he can manipulate things at will.

Men, after all, have their own dignity.

Ena's gentleness and responsiveness allowed Natsume to feel that dignity at any time.

Although Uchiha Mikoto has now been added, the two are not the same.

One was proactive, the other was reactive.

Natsume lowered his head and bit the soft red jade.

Suddenly, it felt as if a sweet taste was nourishing his taste buds.

Uzumaki Ena looked at him with dreamy eyes, her expression filled with endless longing.

For her, Natsume was her whole life.

Karin, the daughter, is merely of equal weight.

The night was rolling.

The birds outside the window were startled away by the sound of the towering mountains.

a new day.

When Natsume opened his eyes, he saw Uzumaki Ena, who had already gotten up.

"Hmm... Good morning... because I feel very energetic..."

Good morning, you look quite energetic.

Natsume rested his head on his hands, smiled at her, and did nothing.

An hour later, Ena Uzumaki looked tired and said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry."

"Get some rest."

Natsume wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

"Um."

Uzumaki Ena closed her eyes, her breathing quickly became steady, and she drifted off to sleep.

Natsume got dressed, stretched, and opened the door.

"Pervert! Die!"

Tayuya suddenly appeared behind him.

Natsume turned around, grabbed her fist, and seeing her flushed face, said, "Eavesdropping on adults' conversations is not the behavior of a good child."

"Who's eavesdropping?!"

Tayu glared at him and said, "I came to call Aunt Ena for breakfast!"

"She has already eaten, she doesn't need to eat anymore."

Natsume loosened his grip on her fist and said in a calm tone.

"have eaten?"

Tayuya was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to understand.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Natsume scooped her up in his arms, raised his hand, and said, "This is today's punishment."

With a snap.

Tayuya blushed.

He actually spanked her?

"You bastard! You pervert! I'll kill you!"
