Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 247 You Came Just in Time

"I'm back."

"Silence," the voice called out as usual.

"Is the hospital busy today?"

Tsunade didn't turn her head when she heard this, and continued to look at the TV and asked.

"About the same as usual."

A silent, offhand reply.

Only during wartime was Konoha Hospital overcrowded.

We don't need too many people right now.

But Jingyin doesn't have much to do at home, so going to the hospital would at least help pass the time.

Even if they don't treat patients, they can still train the new medical ninjas.

With her skill level, it's more than enough.

"I'll go cook."

Silently changed her shoes and went into the kitchen.

Once again, only the sound of the television remained in the hall.

"I'll go check what we're having for dinner tonight."

Tsunade patted Natsume's hand and said.

"I'll go."

Natsume immediately said, "It's not convenient for you right now."

"What's inconvenient?"

Tsunade frowned and said, "I can run and jump now, there won't be any problems at all."

That statement is perfectly correct.

Even if she were pregnant, given her constitution, she certainly could.

Natsume is overly worried.

"Then go ahead."

"That's more like it."

Tsunade smiled and poked his forehead before getting up and going into the kitchen.

"Lady Tsunade?"

Hearing the noise, Shizune instinctively turned around, saw her, and quickly put down the knife in her hand, stepping forward to help her up.

"Why are you like Natsume too?"

Tsunade pushed her hand away and said, "I'm pregnant, not paralyzed."

"What is it, Lady Tsunade?"

Mute promptly changed the subject.

"There is something I need to take care of."

Tsunade met her gaze and asked, "You're getting older now, do you have someone you like?"

"what?"

Silent paused for a moment, not quite understanding.

This question is obviously rather abrupt.

"Is there?"

Tsunade asked again.

"no."

Shizune suddenly thought of Natsume and hurriedly shook her head.

"Then why are you panicking?"

Tsunade straightened her face and said, "You're not good at lying."

Having followed her for so many years, Jingyin naturally couldn't hide her thoughts.

"..."

Hearing her words, Jingyin became even more flustered, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Tell me your thoughts."

Tsunade smiled again and asked.

"no."

Shizune paused for a moment, then said, "I never thought about getting married. I plan to stay by Tsunade's side and learn for the rest of my life."

In fact, that is indeed the case in the original work.

Like Mei Terumi, she never got married.

Of course, given their status and power, finding someone would be relatively easy for them.

I can only say that I haven't met anyone I like.

Especially Mei Terumi.

Is that what you think?

Tsunade paused slightly, a little disappointed, and said, "Then forget it. I was just thinking that if you like Natsume, I could help you out."

Natsume?

Silently called out, "Wait."

Tsunade stopped in her tracks and sighed inwardly, "It really is so."

But upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

The man she's interested in is incredibly charming.

Natsume waited in the living room for half an hour before Tsunade finally came out.

He asked with a puzzled look, "Why did it take so long?"

"Chatting with Silent".

Tsunade sat down next to him and asked, "Do you want to hear what girls are saying?"

"Need not."

Natsume took her hand and said, "I was just asking casually."

Dinner is over.

Tsunade went to the study to read a novel.

If TV dramas were her first pastime, then novels were her second.

She can't play her favorite games of gambling and drinking for the time being.

Taking advantage of his free time, Natsume made a trip to the Hyuga clan.

Deliver a late-night snack to Hinata Hyuga.

After that, I went to the Land of Waves to pet cats.

This has become his daily routine.

When Natsume got home, he found Tsunade still reading, so he said, "I'm going to take a bath."

We used to be together, but now we're apart.

There's a saying: Out of sight, out of mind.

Natsume entered the bathroom and turned on the water.

But a moment later, he heard the door open.

Tsunade walked in.

"How could you...?"

Natsume's expression suddenly hardened, and he said, "You are not Tsunade."

Although he didn't roll his eyes, with his strength, seeing through the transformation technique was a piece of cake.

With a bang.

Smoke rose.

Transformation spell canceled.

It is silent.

Before Natsume could ask, her face flushed red, she launched a desperate charge.

Shizune finally understood why Tsunade was often physically exhausted.

a new day.

Natsume prepared breakfast for the two women who had overslept, and then went to the Hokage's office.

To his surprise, there were already two people waiting there.

Kurenai Yuhi and Yakumo Kurama.

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

Kurama Yakumo gave him a rather chilling feeling at this moment.

It's just like Orochimaru.

But the former is innate, while the latter is clearly not.

So, does this mean that the monster Ido, created from Kurama Yakumo's bloodline limit, has already been born?

"Lord Hokage."

Kurenai Yuhi spoke up first, saying, "Yakumo has been having some mental issues lately."

Then she recounted her unusual behavior.

Natsume nodded; it was clearly Ido's doing.

It is a pure Yin-style monster.

Yin Dun, which originates from spiritual power, is prone to generating extreme emotions.

The Uchiha clan is the most typical example.

But they still have eyes as a vessel.

It's somewhat controllable.

Without Yakumo Kurama, Ido became an evil monster.

He harbored malice towards everyone.

In the original work, the plan was to bewitch Yakumo Kurama and make her completely lose herself.

Natsume's original plan was to use his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to enter her mental world and defeat Ido.

But upon closer inspection, it's still a bit troublesome.

After all, he wasn't absolutely certain that after defeating Ido, he could make it work for Kurama Yakumo.

Therefore, he had no choice but to call upon his family's main villain, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Don't worry, I have a way to solve this."

Natsume smiled at the two of them and said, "Red Sister, could you help me with something today? I'm taking Hachima to see someone."

"no problem."

Kurenai Yuhi answered immediately.

As for who she was going to see, she didn't ask.

However, she guessed it might be Tsunade.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

Natsume and Yakumo Kurama appeared in a room in the Land of Snow.

He did not go directly to see Kaguya Otsutsuki.

After all, it's troublesome to explain.

"Yakumo, get a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you'll be able to be a normal ninja."

If someone else had said that, Yakumo Kurama definitely wouldn't have believed it.

We should also suspect that he has ulterior motives.

But Natsume is the Hokage.

She nodded and lay down on the bed.

"I can't sleep."

Kurama Yakumo couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of his health problems being cured.

Natsume formed hand seals, offering her a small helping hand.

When he heard soft breathing, he opened the door and went to Kaguya Otsutsuki's room.

But before he even arrived, the person had already appeared in front of him.

Without saying a word, she pulled him into the room.

"etc."

Natsume quickly stopped the car and said, "There's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki stopped, hugged him, and said expressionlessly.

Although she had no expression, Natsume could clearly sense her emotions.

Thinking about it, I realize I've indeed left her here for quite a while.

In the past, when Kaguya Otsutsuki had a steady income of chakra, she wouldn't have been bothered at all.

Now I have another hobby.

Sometimes, I really do miss it.

"Come with me."

After letting her hug him for a while, Natsume took her hand and led her back to the room.

Kaguya Otsutsuki noticed Yakumo Kurama, a flicker of emotion passing through her eyes.

She already understood what Natsume wanted her to do.

"What about the reward?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki tilted her head and asked.

Some things only happen once or countless times.

Once the cracks are opened, there's no stopping them.

But Kaguya Otsutsuki believed she was not wrong.

Because this is a fair trade.

Natsume's face fell; it was time to do the hard labor again.

He thought for a moment, then tentatively raised one finger.

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked quite serious and thoughtful.

This kind of thing is clearly absurd.

But for her, it wasn't like that.

After all, it is the second most important thing after chakra.

A few seconds later, Kaguya Otsutsuki shook her head.

She felt it was too little.

Natsume then raised two fingers.

Kaguya Otsutsuki asked softly, "How do you intend to handle this?"

This undoubtedly means that they have already agreed.

"Let's turn the monster inside her into a Stand that Kurama Yakumo can control."

Natsume thought for a moment and then said.

Ido's performance in the original work was quite remarkable.

If Yakumo Kurama can perfectly control her, her abilities are no less than those of an Uchiha clan member who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, turning illusion into a real bloodline limit is truly outrageous.

However, aside from the dual personality, Natsume is worried that Kurama Yakumo won't be able to handle it.

If it's a stand-in, then that's perfect.

In a sense, it is the same form as the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded slightly and grabbed Natsume's shoulder.

The next moment, the perspective shifted.

Natsume opened his eyes and found himself in a desolate and chaotic world.

Only the paintings around the perimeter are relatively normal.

This also proves that he is currently in the spiritual or illusory world of Yakumo Kurama.

"This is truly a potent Yin Release technique."

Natsume felt a pang of emotion.

The whole world is filled with powerful forces.

Considering Yakumo Kurama's age, it seems incredible.

This level of cheat-like ability is almost on par with Uchiha Sasuke.

Natsume can now understand why the Kurama clan declined.

Too much strength leads to breakage.

"How did you get in?"

A childlike yet familiar voice rang out.

Kurama Yakumo.

But unlike his external counterpart, his face was gloomy, and his whole being exuded a twisted aura.

"How you got in is none of your concern."

Natsume narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you get her consent before using someone else's body?"

"This is my body!"

With a low growl, a torrent of chaotic emotions erupted from Idu.

In an instant, it transformed into a raging inferno.

But when they reached Kaguya Otsutsuki, they all vanished.

Upon seeing this, Idu's expression froze.

What's going on?

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't give her time to think; she swung her sword forcefully.

The boundless spiritual power, like a trembling ocean, stirred up countless waves.

The entire space was devastated.

The painting itself is rapidly collapsing.

Idu looked terrified.

The image of Yakumo Kurama that she maintained immediately vanished, transforming into a hideous monster with white hair and long horns.

This is her true nature.

"impossible!"

Idu roared in despair, "I won't die!"

The sound disappeared.

Her eyes changed from fierce to clear.

She looked blank and had lost all her previous liveliness.

Her consciousness had been erased by Kaguya Otsutsuki, and she was now like a puppet.

He truly deserves to be called a major villain.

They accomplished things that others couldn't do with ease.

Natsume returned to his room.

Kurama Yakumo remained fast asleep, showing no reaction or change.

But her body will no longer be troubled by Ido.

In other words, one can become a real ninja.

And unsurprisingly, he is the strongest genjutsu ninja.

Well, the Uchiha clan doesn't count.

Later on, everyone's flying Gundams, who's going to use illusion magic anymore?

In fact, even with them included, Yakumo Kurama could still become the strongest genjutsu ninja.

Natsume already has a plan regarding her excessively abnormal bloodline limit.

The first thing was to help Uchiha Sasuke awaken his Sharingan.

Once his pupil strength reaches the required level, you can give him a little stimulation.

Natsume narrowed his eyes, thinking of Uchiha Mikoto again.

Perhaps we can do something else.

"Natsume."

Kaguya Otsutsuki reached out and stroked his face, asking, "Is there anything else?"

"no."

Natsume knew what she wanted to do and did not refuse.

Kurama Yakumo should wake up several hours later.

With Kaguya Otsutsuki's ability to control time, they have been able to spend several days together.

[Because of your actions, the fates of Kurama Yakumo and Ido have changed. You have gained 100 Fate Points.]

After Natsume came out of Amanominaka, he heard the notification sound of the Destiny Ring.

He ignored him and looked at Kurama Yakumo, who had already woken up.

Her face was full of excitement.

They have clearly noticed the difference in their bodies.

Compared to his previous state of weakness, he is now remarkably normal.

For her, being normal was already a huge surprise.

"Hokage-sama!"

Kurama Yakumo quickly got out of bed, bowed deeply, and said gratefully, "Thank you!"

"No need to thank me."

Natsume said quite directly, "Your bloodline limit is very useful, so work hard to become stronger and then contribute to Konoha Village."

"yes!"

Kurama Yakumo answered without hesitation.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

The two returned to the Hokage's office.

"How is it?"

Kurenai immediately looked up and asked.

"Teacher, I'm completely healed!"

Kurama Yakumo smiled brightly.

This is completely different from her previous self.

Kurenai Yuhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She herself is a genjutsu ninja.

After meeting Yakumo Kurama, he treated her as his disciple, the kind of disciple to whom he could pass on his mantle.

After all, she's the Hokage's secretary now.

It's estimated that there won't be a second apprentice.

If we have children in the future, that's a different story.

However, this is unlikely to be achieved in the short term.

Kurenai glanced at Natsume, then quickly lowered her head and said, "Yakumo, let me take you back first."

After the two left, Natsume leaned back in the Hokage chair, a hint of fatigue on his face.

The battles with Kaguya Otsutsuki are always so dangerous.

However, he has also improved and is now able to launch powerful counterattacks.

Previously, Kaguya Otsutsuki always maintained a cool and aloof demeanor.

Now, I'm not so carefree anymore; I might lose my composure.

The arrival of winter means the start of the New Year festival.

The ninja world is basically a copy of Japan, so it can be called the most lively festival of the year.

Natsume usually goes out with Tsunade.

There's nothing we can do this year.

Tsunade is pregnant and it's not appropriate for her to wander around.

The Hokage's office.

A knock came at the door.

Kakashi Hatake and his three students entered.

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari.

"Lord Hokage, this is the mission our team recently completed."

After exchanging greetings, Kakashi Hatake took out a scroll.

"Just say what's on your mind."

Natsume glanced at it and smiled.

In the present day, Konoha no longer needs him to review any mission reports.

"The three of them want to take two weeks off and go back to Sunagakure."

Kakashi Hatake still had that dead fish-like look in his eyes.

The three people behind them, especially Kankuro and Temari, both showed a mixture of anticipation and trepidation on their faces.

"Can."

Natsume didn't think about it for long before agreeing.

"Thank you, Hokage!"

Kankuro and Temari immediately shouted excitedly.

Only Gaara remained relatively calm.

For him, going back was nothing to worry about.

After sending the four people away, Natsume suddenly thought of the Akatsuki organization.

He had been a member for quite some time, but had never received a mission.

It wasn't because Nagato had forgotten him, but because he was too busy.

After receiving the two billion, he had many things to do and temporarily stopped paying attention to Natsume.

The New Year festival is approaching.

Natsume also started getting busy.

It's not about setting up Konoha Village or anything like that; those kinds of things are naturally handled by specialists.

He's busy because he has to run around to several places.

From Ena Uzumaki, Kaguya Otsutsuki, Mikoto Uchiha, Mei Terumi, to Tsunade.
