Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 229 The Transformation of Kurenai Yuhi

The demons were incompetent and furious.

No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free from the entanglement.

It could have shouted a few words, but the vines blocked its way, turning it into a whimpering sound.

Ziyuan blushed slightly and looked away.

The current depictions of demons and monsters are somewhat unsuitable for children.

She let out a breath, feeling much more relaxed.

Now that things are like this, there's no need to use her life to seal it away, right?

I just don't know how Natsume will handle this.

She, or rather, all the priestesses throughout history, understood that the demons could not be killed.

But in any case, at least it's safe for now.

The guards around her all looked dazed, as if they had never seen the world before.

In fact, it does.

The Land of Demons is too remote.

There are many things I don't understand.

In their minds, they truly believed that demons were invincible.

Even if Natsume were the Hokage, he still couldn't gain their trust.

But now the facts are right in front of them, leaving them dumbfounded and forced to reshape their worldview.

Natsume touched his chin.

Wood Release can deal with demons, but because of their special constitution, they cannot be killed.

The best solution is naturally to use sealing techniques.

It's the same kind of operation as the monster Satoru from the previous Box of Elysium.

However, that's how it was handled because Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't around at the time.

It's not that complicated now.

Natsume moved closer to her and glanced at her delicate and aloof face, which he had carefully sketched in the Amano-no-Mikoto.

"Kaguya, please help me compress the demon into a pure energy state."

He lowered his voice slightly and said.

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand, and a black sphere flew out from her palm.

The demon, entangled by vines and branches, began to struggle violently.

An unprecedented sense of crisis spread from the bottom of its heart throughout its body, making it tremble with fear.

But struggling is useless.

The black sphere expanded and enveloped it.

The outer vines and branches were the first to disintegrate and vanish into nothingness.

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

As a user of Wood Release, he naturally knew exactly what they had encountered.

It has to be said that Kaguya Otsutsuki's strength was terrifying.

The demons gradually dissipated.

The pure soul power was exposed to the air.

Under Kaguya Otsutsuki's control, they were rapidly compressed and fused together.

She lowered her head, grasped Natsume's wrist, and placed the transparent soul orb in his palm.

Although she had no expression, Natsume could still feel her gentleness and the lingering fragrance.

He investigated and found that it wasn't a fragrance, but rather the scent emanating from Kaguya Otsutsuki's fair and smooth skin.

Aliens are awesome.

"Thanks."

Natsume put away the Soul Orb.

Given Kaguya Otsutsuki's previous personality, she would never have given something so full of energy to an outsider.

After all, it can be converted into chakra.

This only proves that Natsume is no longer an outsider, but an insider.

"That...that big thing, how...how did it disappear?"

Ziyuan's eyes widened immediately, and she gestured with her hands.

Just that brief minute was indescribable for her.

Every priestess, once she comes of age, is taught how terrifying the demons are, and that after they are resurrected, they must be sealed away with her life.

In other words, the demon was Shion's lifelong nightmare.

Even though Natsume just captured it with Wood Release, she only thought she would seal it, not kill it.

But in the blink of an eye, the demon vanished completely from the ninja world.

Aster and it share the same origin, so it can sense its life and death.

She was then plunged into an even greater shock.

"Congratulations, you don't have to worry anymore."

Natsume smiled and said.

Ziyuan subconsciously lowered her hand, stood there for a moment, and then her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She rushed to Natsume, hugged him, and said in a tearful voice, "Thank you!"

"We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite."

Natsume was slightly taken aback, but he could understand Shion's reaction.

She was, after all, just a little girl, whose life had been threatened by demons since she was a child.

Now that the matter has been resolved, I am naturally happy.

At the same time, Natsume is also avenging her mother, Miroku.

A moment later, Ziyuan released him, wiped away her tears, and her face was slightly flushed.

"Hinata, give your Demon-Slaying Bow to your teacher."

Natsume turned to look at Hinata Hyuga.

Because there are so many terracotta warriors, she is still shooting arrows.

Her face was pale, cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her movements were much slower than before.

For her age, she has undoubtedly reached her limit.

But because she didn't want to disappoint Natsume, she kept putting on a brave face.

Upon hearing this, Hinata Hyuga stopped what she was doing.

She took a step forward, her legs trembled, and she almost fell.

Natsume quickly helped her up and took her Demon-Slaying Bow.

"Why are you always showing off, you little rascal?"

He reached out and wiped the sweat from Hinata Hyuga's face.

The slight chill made her shiver, and she lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Kaguya Otsutsuki took the Demon-Slaying Bow and casually drew it.

The bow began to tremble violently, and countless arrows flew out, annihilating the remaining terracotta warriors.

A massive, visible surge of energy rushed toward the Demon-Slaying Bow.

Ziyuan felt that her worldview had been shattered once again.

This ninja named Shinomiya is just too outrageous.

Do humans really possess such terrifying power?

Natsume returned the Demon-Slaying Bow to Hinata Hyuga.

"Kaguya, erase the memories of all humans except Shion."

Ziyuan is one of our own, so it doesn't matter.

It's harder to say about the guards.

After all, ninjas have many tricks up their sleeves.

Natsume doesn't want Kaguya Otsutsuki to be exposed for the time being.

Thus, the grand drama he directed and starred in came to an end.

Shion claimed that she resealed the demon using Natsume's Wood Release technique.

As for Kaguya Otsutsuki, she was never mentioned.

Two days later.

The Shrine of the Demon Kingdom.

"Shion, this is the daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Koyuki."

Natsume pointed to Kazahana Koyuki, who had just arrived, and said, "From now on, she will be in charge of cooperation between the two countries."

"Um."

Ziyuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Sister Xiaoxue."

Although she controls the Kingdom of Demons, she knows nothing about anything except sealing away demons.

After several years of Natsume's tutelage, Koyuki Kazahana has grown considerably.

She's very good at economics; it wouldn't be a problem for her to transform a demon kingdom.

"fine."

A gentle smile graced her face amidst the gentle breeze, flowers, and light snow.

She had naturally heard of Ziyuan's great name.

But I never imagined that the two of them would one day be able to call each other sisters.

Really interesting.

Thinking of this, Fuuka Koyuki subconsciously glanced at Natsume.

However, she was caught stealing glances.

A slight blush appeared on her beautiful cheeks.

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

Although the flower is beautiful, he has no interest in it right now.

The main reason was that he was tortured too badly by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Shion noticed her expression, her eyes darting around, and she roughly understood what she was thinking.

It seems like we can have a chat.

The brief meeting ended.

Natsume didn't linger any longer and planned to go back.

As for Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hinata Hyuga, they had already left the day before yesterday.

At the palace gate.

Natsume exchanged a few words with Kazehana Koyuki.

The Land of Demons is an undeveloped country.

It is rich in various natural resources.

Therefore, what to do is also very simple.

First, build roads.

Second, mining.

As for other resources, we'll take our time.

"Any other questions?"

After Natsume finished speaking, he looked at her and asked a question.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue shook her head.

"Then I..."

Natsume was cut off before he could finish speaking.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue tiptoed, her two delicate arms wrapped around his neck, her face and the back of her ears flushed red.

Her red lips were pressed tightly against Natsume's.

After a while, she let go.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and said softly, "Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned and ran.

Natsume was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to be so bold.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

If I remember correctly, Feng Hua Xiaoxue has turned eighteen this year.

He shook his head. "Let it be."

He needs to pay off his debt to Kaguya Otsutsuki first.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

Natsume returned to Konoha Village.

"Natsume, go back..."

Kurenai Yuhi, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up, but stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

"Sister Hong, what's wrong?"

Natsume paused for a moment, then asked.

Kurenai's smile froze, and a conflict arose in her heart.

Because she saw the red mark on Natsume's lips.

As a daimyo, Kazeka Koyuki, in accordance with the traditions of the Land of Snow, always wears heavy makeup.

Kurenai Yuhi immediately had a misunderstanding.

But upon closer reflection, it's not surprising.

With Natsume being so outstanding, it would be impossible for him not to have any girls around, right?

But she did not give up because of this.

Kurenai walked up to him, reached out her hand, and brushed her fingertips against his lips.

"I have lipstick on, and it wouldn't look good if someone saw it."

She withdrew her hand, a faint smile on her face, and said.

It seems to have been completely unaffected.

"Thanks."

Natsume was a little embarrassed, but not much.

Perhaps subconsciously he believed that Kurenai Yuhi wouldn't or dared to spread the word.

She was a rather traditional ninja.

"Natsume, I've finished writing the mission report for the Land of Demons."

Kurenai Yuhi pulled out a document and handed it to him.

Similarly, Kaguya Otsutsuki is not included here.

But with the addition of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

Yes, Naruto is just openly cheating.

There was no way around it; Konoha, the referees, and the ninjas were all his people.

Even Fang Ziyuan, who was commissioned, was involved.

How can we fight him?

Natsume leaned back and started reading the mission report.

As always, Kurenai Yuhi's work is of a very high standard, with absolutely no flaws.

"That's all, it's very well written."

Natsume nodded and said, "Red-sister, I feel like I'm becoming more and more dependent on you as Hokage."

"Um."

Kurenai Yuhi smiled and said, "As the Hokage's secretary, I naturally won't leave the Hokage."

She bent down, picked up the documents, and casually showed off her arsenal.

Natsume glanced at it without any restraint.

Kurenai Yuhi wasn't angry; she took out another piece of intelligence and handed it to him.

It's about Danzo Shimura.

It says above that he was captured by the Hidden Cloud Village, and his current situation is unknown.

[Because of your actions, the fates of Mouryou, Shion, Fuuka Koyuki, Kurenai Yuhi, Hidan, and Kakuzu have changed. You have gained a total of 220 Fate Points.]

Natsume paused slightly, then gave Kurenai Yuhi a meaningful look.

I never knew you were involved.

What caused this change?

Three thousand characters.
