Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 216 The Fierce Battle Between Natsume and Kaguya

After leaving the Hyuga clan, Natsume returned to the Hokage Building.

Although the events involving Kusagakure Village and Hozuki Castle have come to a close, it doesn't mean they're completely over.

He has one more thing to do.

That is, writing a task report.

Natsume didn't really care whether or not to report, but his three students couldn't.

I need this to increase my qualifications.

That's right, there are three.

Even if Hinata Hyuga doesn't participate, she will still be counted.

If Naruto cheats, who dares to say anything?

"Sister Hong, could you help me write a task report?"

Of course, Natsume wouldn't write it himself.

What's the point of having a secretary when there's something to do?

"It's about Hozuki Castle."

Natsume thought for a moment and said, "Let's classify it as an S-rank mission. You can just write a few sentences about the specific process."

He omitted the details of Mikoto Uchiha's appearance and Sasuke Uchiha's wish.

It is said that the lord of Hozuki Castle, Muu, opened the Chest of Bliss and released the monster.

Through his efforts and those of Class 9, they defeated and sealed it.

Kurenai Yuhi naturally had no doubts.

As he instructed, I completed the task report.

Natsume glanced at it and said, "Well written."

Kurenai smiled and said, "This is my duty as a secretary."

"Let's seal it away."

Natsume handed the documents back to her and said.

"Yes."

Kurenai Yuhi turned and left the Hokage's office.

[Because of your actions, Hinata Hyuga's fate has changed. You have gained 100 Fate Points.]

[Because of your actions, Hiashi Hyuga's fate has changed. You have gained 20 Fate Points.]

The two consecutive notification sounds puzzled Natsume.

What's the story behind Hyuga Hiashi?

He had no idea that the bow he gave away almost killed his future father-in-law.

Natsume quickly put it out of his mind, dealt with the official business of Shimokoha Village, and then it was time to happily go home.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

He disappeared from the Hokage's office.

A few seconds later, the door was pushed open.

"summer……"

Kurenai Yuhi's gaze fell on the empty Hokage's seat, and she couldn't help but stomp her foot in regret.

"Too late."

She sighed, closed the door again, tied her open collar, and then went home from get off work.

the next day.

The land of snow.

Natsume knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's cool voice rang out.

Natsume pushed open the door and slowly walked in.

With no one at the table, he turned his gaze to the bedside.

Kaguya Otsutsuki leaned against the wall, a blanket covering her legs.

She had been looking up at the ceiling, but when Natsume came in, she looked down at him.

"Just woke up?"

Natsume stepped forward and asked.

"I'm not asleep."

Kaguya Otsutsuki shook her head and said, "I can't sleep without you."

"I can't resist sweet talk so early in the morning."

Natsume paused for a moment, then laughed.

"Sweet nothings?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki tilted her head, staring at him with a hint of confusion, and asked, "Is this what you call sweet talk?"

"Um."

Natsume sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Sweet words are words that make people very happy, and of course, they can only be said to the person you like."

Kaguya Otsutsuki lifted the covers, revealing her long, shapely legs and fair, delicate feet.

"come over."

She waved and said.

Natsume got up and sat down next to her.

Kaguya Otsutsuki pulled the blanket over herself again, covering both of their legs.

Say something sweet to me.

She reached out and hugged Natsume, pulling him into her arms.

"Sweet words, if said deliberately, won't have much effect."

Natsume leaned on her shoulder, his eyes slightly narrowed, gazing at her snow-white jawline.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki seemed to be deep in thought, and pursed her lips.

"Shall we get up now?"

Natsume remembered that today was the Snow Festival, and his original intention was to take her out to play.

She had been in this era for some time, but she had been staying in the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Snow.

If we don't go out soon, we'll get moldy!

"Wait a minute."

Kaguya Otsutsuki hugged him tightly, her long, soft, white legs crossing over his.

I like it this way.

She smiled and said, "It gives me a feeling of my heart racing uncontrollably."

"..."

Natsume was stunned.

How come you can spout such sweet nothings?

And they didn't even realize they were saying sweet nothings.

Natsume felt like he was completely under Kaguya's thumb.

After a moment, he was released.

Kaguya Otsutsuki kissed him on the cheek and said, "I want to eat the breakfast you made."

"Wait a minute."

Natsume left the room and used the daimyo's kitchen to make a bowl of ramen.

As for him, he had already eaten with Tsunade.

Kaguya Otsutsuki picked up her chopsticks and began to eat her breakfast with considerable elegance.

Natsume sat opposite her, watching her every move, and finally his gaze settled on her forehead.

The Rinne Sharingan, her third eye, which she gained after eating the fruit of the Divine Tree.

However, it is not usually shown.

Natsume had never seen its true face, but he was quite curious.

But he didn't dare to ask Kaguya Otsutsuki to take a look at him rashly.

After all, this eye must be the most precious thing to her.

"How is it?"

Seeing that she had finished eating, Natsume asked.

"very good."

Kaguya Otsutsuki narrowed her eyes slightly, looking like a well-fed white cat, appearing somewhat content.

If you say it's good, then it must be good.

Natsume reached out and brushed the white hair from her forehead.

He breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that she wasn't angry.

"What are you doing?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, we can't let your bangs cover up your beauty."

Natsume looked into her white eyes and said with a smile.

Kaguya Otsutsuki blinked, noticing a faint joy welling up inside her.

Was it because she was complimented on her looks?

She suddenly felt that she was becoming a little strange.

She had actually heard similar things before.

But they all let it be.

Or rather, there will be no reaction at all.

Why does it sound so different when Natsume says it?

"Is this a love confession?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki pondered for a moment and then asked.

"I guess so."

Natsume paused for a moment before answering.

Sometimes he felt like he couldn't keep up with Kaguya Otsutsuki's train of thought.

Perhaps this is what a girl with no money, no status, and no job is like.

"I see."

Kaguya Otsutsuki smiled and said, "I don't dislike this feeling. You can say more."

Natsume felt he was going to lose today.

I finally managed to say something sweet, but I ended up being flirted with in return.

That's incredible, Kaguya-sama!

I'm just an ant; I can't possibly escape your grasp.

"let's go."

Natsume opened the door and said, "The Snow Festival has begun, look."

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked up and saw the exquisite patterns in the sky.

Like white clouds, they transform into various plants and animals.

In addition, there are decorations unique to the Land of Snow.

After Fuuka Koyuki restored her kingdom, she received strong support from Natsume.

There were chakra armor, airships, and environmental modification machines before.

Now, let's keep up the good work, continue to optimize, and take our technological level to the next level.

Projecting patterns into the sky is an easy task.

"That's you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki discovered that the central pattern was Natsume.

Besides him, there's also Feng Hua Xiao Xue.

Natsume's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Kaguya-sama would be jealous.

He felt that she didn't care about romance or trivial matters.

Or rather, there are no two humans who she can even look at seriously.

"She likes you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly said.

"No...no, right?"

Natsume suffered cardiac arrest.

"My eyes can see right through her thoughts."

Kaguya Otsutsuki said in a calm tone.

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly remembered that in the anime's original storyline, Kaguya Otsutsuki had seen through Hamura Otsutsuki's lies and Hagoromo Otsutsuki's true feelings.

broken!

Doesn't that mean I have nowhere to hide in front of her?

"Ordinary creatures cannot hide any emotions from me."

Kaguya Otsutsuki stared at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes. "But you are an exception."

Natsume immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it's the protection of the Holy Ring of Destiny?

He wasn't sure why either.

But no matter what, this is a good thing.

Kaguya Otsutsuki noticed a hint of panic in his eyes.

She took his hand, squeezed it, and said, "I don't care what you're thinking, as long as you like me."

Natsume glanced at her subconsciously. Her face didn't show much expression, but her words were full of emotion.

Good heavens, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War at full power, he can't handle it!

The worst part is that she has no idea what she's saying.

"Let's go."

Natsume grasped her hand in return and said, "Let's go take a look around the streets."

The Snow Festival is an annual grand event in the land of snow.

The streets were already packed with people.

Natsume had intended for Kaguya Otsutsuki to disguise herself, but suddenly realized that it seemed no one could see them.

"Did you do this?"

"Um."

Kaguya Otsutsuki said calmly, "I don't like them, and I don't want them to bother us."

His words perfectly captured the style of a domineering CEO.

Natsume smiled and played with her hand as he walked.

Soft and moist.

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't care about his actions, casually looking around.

Everything that followed was relatively unfamiliar to her.

Therefore, she didn't find it boring.

"What is that?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand and pointed to the group of people under the torii gate in the distance.

"It's a protective charm."

Natsume thought for a moment and explained, "It's something like a talisman, used to pray to the gods for peace."

Kaguya Otsutsuki shook her head upon hearing this.

She is a god.

We don't need all these fancy things.

"Go buy one."

Kaguya Otsutsuki stopped and said.

Natsume was stunned.

What do you want to do with it?

Even the gods of this world are struggling to protect themselves when they see you, so how could they dare to protect you?

But since Kaguya-sama has spoken, he naturally has to do as she says.

So I squeezed into the crowd and bought a pink amulet with the words "peace" embroidered on it.

Kaguya Otsutsuki held the amulet, and after a moment, a faint white light appeared on it.

A deep chakra could be faintly sensed.

"for you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki placed the amulet in his hand and said, "Wear it."

Natsume was stunned.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Kaguya Otsutsuki to waste so much chakra for him.

Hmm, it's also possible that he's earned too much chakra recently, so he's giving him a little as a reward.

"What are the effects?"

Natsume asked, guessing, "Does it automatically trigger the defense after I'm attacked?"

"No. I've been fatally wounded. I will appear."

Kaguya Otsutsuki spoke in the most indifferent tone, uttering the most domineering words, "Because I only allow you to die by my hand."

Unable to contain his excitement, Natsume leaned in and silenced her with a kiss.

After a while, Kaguya Otsutsuki took his hand and continued walking forward.

A smile inadvertently appeared on her lips, like a flower blooming in spring.

Natsume is not used to shopping.

Because in his eyes, there's nothing fun to do.

In my past life, all I did when I went out was eat.

But Kaguya Otsutsuki doesn't seem to have this idea.

She had eaten food made by Natsume himself.

I won't eat anything else.

"bookstore."

A flicker of emotion crossed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's snow-white eyes.

She pulled Natsume along and led him into the bookstore.

"???"

Natsume was completely dumbfounded.

In the most prominent spot, there is a huge poster.

There was a sentence written on it.

The latest volume of Jiraiya's "Make-Out Paradise" is now on sale.

"This won't do."

Natsume reached out and nudged Kaguya Otsutsuki's cheek, trying to distract her.

But this obviously had the opposite effect.

"Why not?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked down at him, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"The book is of poor quality."

Natsume forced a smile and said, "It doesn't look good."

"You don't like it?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki asked.

"dislike."

Natsume said against his conscience.

It's not really about going against one's conscience.

"Icha Icha Paradise" is alright in the ninja world, but it would be just average in my previous life.

It's nowhere near as good as those online guides, Jin Shimei, or Piao Piao Xian.

"Then kill him."

Kaguya Otsutsuki said with an indifferent expression.

"Uh, there's no need."

Natsume waved his hand and said, "If you want to kill someone, we can go to Mount Myōboku another day."

Does Mount Myōboku still exist?

Kaguya Otsutsuki was somewhat surprised.

"Um."

Natsume nodded and said, "Not only does it exist, but it has a great influence and is revered as one of the three holy sites."

"When are you going?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned slightly and asked.

"No rush."

Natsume reached out and pinched her cheek, saying, "Let's not worry about that today."

"Um."

Kaguya Otsutsuki then looked at the books on the bookshelf.

She was very obedient and didn't buy "Intimate Paradise"; instead, she bought a novel called "Love Strategy".

Yes, it's a novel.

Natsume flipped through it; it was a proper novel.

So he took out his money and bought it.

The reason he didn't buy "Make-Out Paradise" was because he didn't want Kaguya Otsutsuki to accept such nonsense.

That wouldn't be very fun.

After leaving the bookstore, the two continued walking.

Kaguya Otsutsuki released Natsume's hand and instead opened the novel "Love Strategy".

Natsume's lips twitched slightly.

Could a great villain have turned into a shut-in?

After reading the novel, should I become obsessed with games?

But upon closer reflection, Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't really have much to do.

Her only job now is to collect rent.

There's no skill involved; just wait for the Sand Village ninjas to spend a fortune on in-game purchases.

It's really boring if you don't find something else to do.

Natsume himself couldn't stay with her all the time.

Bringing her to Konoha Village would frighten the flowers and plants.

Especially Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

Oh, and animals too.

For example, toads and poisonous snakes.

"Let's go back."

Kaguya Otsutsuki closed the novel, her eyes gleaming, and said.

Natsume was a little confused, feeling that something was off about her.

Is there something wrong with this novel?

But he didn't want to ask, so he could only nod.

The two returned to the palace.

After putting down her novel, Kaguya Otsutsuki kept staring at Natsume.

It made him feel a little uneasy.

After a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Um... why are you looking at me?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki sat on the tatami mat and waved to him.

Natsume, not understanding why, stepped forward.

"The book says that all men like one thing."

Kaguya Otsutsuki tilted her head and asked in a curious yet innocent tone, "Can you tell me what it is?"

"..."

Natsume swallowed hard.

At this moment, it would be rather excessive for him not to do something.

"Kaguya, don't move."

Natsume reached out and helped her take off her outer garment.

Her graceful body was displayed before his eyes.

Kaguya Otsutsuki showed no embarrassment, simply looking at him and waiting for his next move.

For her, not disliking something means she can do anything.

Natsume admired the large expanse of smooth skin, feeling inexplicably nervous.

For some reason, he became a novice instead.

Kaguya Otsutsuki straightened up, her snow-white hair cascading down and landing on Natsume's abdomen.

She was breathing heavily, her eyes completely blank.

This feeling is unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

It's strange, and it's also wonderful.

A blush quietly appeared on Kaguya Otsutsuki's usually expressionless and delicate face.

Like the morning glow, bright and beautiful.

She reached out her fair hand and stroked Natsume's handsome face.

Is this love?

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's gaze was unfocused as she muttered to herself.

She once again felt a sense of spiritual fulfillment.

The last time was when she waited a thousand years to swallow the fruit of the divine tree.

But spirit alone is not enough.

Kaguya Otsutsuki awakened the Rinne Sharingan.

The two were transferred to the starting space of Amanomi.

Natsume instinctively hugged her leg and asked, "Why...why did you come here?"

Don't blame him for his inarticulate speech; he's really suffering in silence.

Aliens are indeed extremely terrifying.

"Here, I can briefly control the flow of time."

Kaguya Otsutsuki lowered her head slightly, her face glowing with an alluring rosy hue.

She wanted to prolong this feeling as much as possible.

"???"

Natsume discovers the flaws of the immortal body for the first time.

The recovery ability isn't quite there.

He was trapped in a soft snare and could not escape.

A month later, he returned to the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Snow.

At this time, only one day had passed in the outside world.

Natsume opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling.

His whole body ached, making him not want to move at all.

This long and arduous battle was truly exhausting.

He felt like his whole body was falling apart.

So, even immortal bodies have their limits.

He turned his head and saw Kaguya Otsutsuki, her arm around his, a smile on her face, fast asleep.

Natsume leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

Then he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

I don't know how much time has passed.

He felt a wave of nausea and a slight urge to foam at the mouth.

"Are you awake?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki asked in a cool tone.

As Natsume gazed at the landscape before him, with its towering peaks and raging waves, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back.

Help!

Five thousand words.
