Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 243 Let's Have a Daughter

After provoking the black cat to its limit, Natsume decisively stopped and left.

Although the two Yugitos are strong-willed, there will eventually come a day when they can't take it anymore if things continue like this.

Then she will truly become a cat.

Natsume has certainly lived up to his name.

The entrance to Konoha Village.

Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga were already waiting.

The two door gods, Izumo Shingetsu and Tetsuo Kotetsu, were chatting with them in a friendly manner.

More accurately, it was with Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, he was the only one who was naturally outgoing.

The conversation revolved around their previous trip to the Fire Country metropolis.

"If it weren't for Natsume-sensei stopping him, how could Momochi Zabuza have been a match for me and Sasuke?"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his chin and said with a regretful expression.

"Well done, Naruto."

Izumo and Kotetsu exchanged a glance, clapped their hands, and said somewhat perfunctorily.

They clearly didn't believe what Naruto Uzumaki was saying.

Zabuza Momochi was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and was considered an elite among Jonin.

How could I possibly lose to a Konoha genin?

Sasuke Uchiha's lips twitched.

He was confident if he encountered Zabuza Momochi again.

At the time, it really wasn't working.

However, given Naruto's personality, he wouldn't stop him.

"Hokage-sama!"

The smiles on the faces of Izumo and Kotetsu vanished, and they instinctively straightened up.

"Natsume-sensei, you've finally arrived!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately stopped chatting and said excitedly.

"teacher."

Uchiha Sasuke took the initiative to greet him.

"Sign it."

Natsume met Hinata Hyuga's gaze, walked up to her, and reached out to ruffle her hair.

She squinted her eyes like a kitten, looking both shy and happy.

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were already used to it.

After signing the registration forms provided by Izumo and Kotetsu, the four left Konoha Village.

The Land of Rivers is located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.

It's not particularly far.

In the original work, Raiga Kurosuki's storyline was triggered by a request from the villagers near the Oxalis Gold Mine.

Now, it's a task that Natsume himself has undertaken after sending his secret agents to investigate.

He had been worried that Raiga Kurosugi wouldn't be there.

Because it was a gold mine, Natsume contacted the Wanli Sunshine Trading Company, preparing to let them take over.

Anyway, they're all unclaimed items.

Why not take advantage of a free lunch?

This time when he went to the Land of Rivers, Natsume did not use the Flying Thunder God Technique and walked instead.

The purpose is to train the ninth class.

At such a great distance, one must be constantly on guard against all sorts of ninjas or bandits, and also conceal one's movements.

After all, ninjas on the battlefield can easily cause conflict if they are not careful.

Although Natsume doesn't care, he still needs to understand the three members of Class 9.

Including food.

Let them handle it themselves.

night.

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha took out the bento boxes they had prepared in advance.

The former was purchased, while the latter was made by Uchiha Mikoto.

Ordinary ninjas usually just rush through their missions.

Often, just making some rice balls or something similar will suffice.

However, neither of them is short of money.

Natsume found a spot nearby and set up his tent.

Hinata Hyuga took out her lunchbox and suddenly remembered her mother Rinka Hyuga's instructions.

She glanced at her two teammates instinctively, then got up and walked toward the tent.

"Natsume-nii-san, do you want some?"

Hinata Hyuga, holding the bento box in both hands, asked.

"And what about you?"

Natsume sat inside the tent and patted the ground.

"My mother specially prepared an extra portion."

Hinata Hyuga sat down next to him naturally and said.

"oh."

Natsume took the bento box and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."

She truly is worthy of being my future mother-in-law.

Considerate and attentive.

"Is it tasty?"

Hinata Hyuga took out a new bento box, opened it, and asked with a hint of anticipation.

"It's quite delicious."

Natsume speaks the truth.

Although it couldn't compare to the culinary skills he had acquired through some kind of cheat code, he was considered one of the best among the people he knew.

Hinata Hyuga nodded and mustered her courage to say, "I want to learn cooking from Mother."

After she finished speaking, a light red veil covered her face.

Learning is not the goal; cooking for Natsume is.

"Let me be your first customer then."

Natsume smiled and said.

This girl is far too easy to understand.

"Um!"

Hinata Hyuga's mood instantly brightened, and a smile crept onto her lips.

"I'm looking forward to it, but I shouldn't overwork myself because of it."

Natsume glanced at her and said, "Right now, you should mainly listen to your teacher and study karate diligently."

Hinata Hyuga was a little embarrassed.

She did have that idea.

I never expected Natsume to say it out loud.

She kept her head down, eating her bento box in small bites.

Is one serving enough?

Natsume thought of this problem.

"It's...it's okay."

Hinata Hyuga quickly shook her head and said.

"How can you manage without eating your fill?"

Natsume smiled gently and said, "Anyway, I have the Flying Thunder God Technique, it'll be quick."

Hinata Hyuga saw this and didn't say anything more.

It just feels sweet in my heart.

After the three of them finished eating, Natsume clapped his hands to attract their attention.

"Nighttime is the most dangerous."

He said with a smile, "This is a time when attacks are very likely to occur."

"Let them come!"

Naruto Uzumaki was eager to try after hearing this.

"You look very energetic."

Natsume nodded and said, "Hinata and I will go back to Konoha Village. I'll leave this place to you."

"no problem!"

Naruto patted his chest and said, "Teacher, don't worry."

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be hoping for an enemy attack at any moment, so that they could unleash their full power.

Natsume and Hinata Hyuga returned to Konoha Village.

It was already evening, and the streets were quite deserted.

After all, there aren't many forms of entertainment in the ninja world.

Unlike my previous life, it wasn't as lively.

Natsume led Hinata Hyuga to the Uchiha clan's residence.

Going home isn't appropriate; I'd have to explain.

For Uchiha Mikoto, it was of little consequence.

Hinata Hyuga was puzzled, but she was quite obedient and didn't ask any further questions.

Upon seeing Natsume, Mikoto Uchiha wanted to rush up and hug him.

However, she soon noticed Hinata Hyuga.

"Lord Hokage."

Mikoto Uchiha concealed her true emotions and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you at this late hour?"

"It's nothing."

Natsume shook his right hand, which was holding Hinata Hyuga's hand. "I'm a little hungry."

Hungry?

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at Hinata Hyuga with curiosity.

She certainly knew him.

After all, she and Hinata Rinka were good friends.

Hinata Hyuga is also Natsume's apprentice and Sasuke Uchiha's teammate.

"Please wait a moment."

Although Mikoto Uchiha was puzzled by Natsume's behavior tonight, she was certain that a meal would be provided, no matter the reason.

"Prepare enough food for ten people."

Natsume added.

Mikoto Uchiha nodded and left immediately.

Not long after, she returned to her room.

She originally planned to cook herself, but there were too many dishes for ten people, so she had to let others do it.

Soon, the food was served.

Mikoto Uchiha noticed that Natsume hadn't touched his chopsticks; it was Hinata Hyuga who was eating.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, I was called out of the room.

"Aunt Mikoto."

Natsume patted her ample buttocks and asked, "How is Uchiha Izumi now?"

After he returned last time, he gave her the soul pearl formed from the essence of demons.

Mikoto Uchiha trembled and subconsciously glanced at Hinata Hyuga not far away.

Seeing that she was focused on eating, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Her eye power is increasing rapidly. It won't be long before she reaches the standard to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Unlike Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Izumi was older and had already met the basic requirements.

However, it cannot be said that she can fully awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"That's fine then."

Natsume looked at the plump and beautiful Uchiha Mikoto and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

I feel like I've gained a little weight.

It seems I haven't been getting enough exercise lately.

"that……"

Mikoto Uchiha felt her heart race under his gaze, and asked, "Is there something you need to do here tonight?"

"fine."

Natsume shook his head and said, "It's about feeding Hinata."

Mikoto Uchiha was somewhat taken aback.

She looked at Hinata Hyuga, and a strange sense of envy flashed through her heart.

Natsume's attitude towards her was indeed extremely good.

If I were... no, that's not right.

Mikoto Uchiha thought to herself, "What am I thinking?"

"What's wrong?"

Natsume noticed her expression and asked, "You want a daughter?"

"No...no!"

Mikoto Uchiha quickly shook her head and said.

Although she wasn't as resistant as she had been at the beginning, she couldn't explain having another child to Uchiha Sasuke.

"The Uchiha clan now has only about thirty ninjas left."

Natsume crossed his arms and asked, "Aunt Mikoto, aren't you planning to add a few more geniuses?"

"..."

Mikoto Uchiha remained silent.

What kind of twisted logic is this?

She kept her head down and did not answer.

"Aunt Mikoto, you're probably worried about Sasuke, right?"

Natsume naturally understood her.

Perhaps he understands it better than Fugaku Uchiha.

No matter what it is.

"Um."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded hesitantly.

She hesitated because she also understood Natsume.

There will most likely be some surprising remarks to come.

"With our strength, keeping it from Sasuke is a piece of cake."

Natsume casually said, "As for their identity, I'm not worried at all. Just say that you adopted them."

Mikoto Uchiha fell silent once again.

"However, I'm just making a suggestion."

Natsume smiled and said, "I didn't mean to coerce you."

If it were true coercion, they wouldn't be speaking so politely.

They either need to control him with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, or they need to use the Uchiha clan as leverage.

Either way, it would make Uchiha Mikoto agree.

Therefore, she understood.

Mikoto Uchiha instinctively showed a grateful look.

But then he froze.

Why should I be grateful?

He clearly didn't do anything.

Mikoto Uchiha realized what was happening and felt somewhat helpless.

I can never go back.

After Hinata finished eating, Natsume said, "That's all for tonight. I'll come back to see you after I finish my mission."

Speaking of missions, Mikoto Uchiha suddenly thought of Sasuke Uchiha.

They went together.

"Um."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded obediently and said gently, "Please take care of Sasuke."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Natsume said in a low voice, "Given our relationship, I certainly won't let anything happen to Sasuke."

After saying that, he went into the room and took Hinata Hyuga away.

Mikoto Uchiha stood frozen in place.

Yes.

Given their current situation, what should Sasuke call Natsume?

Three thousand characters.
