Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 252 Rin Nohara's Resurrection

A room in the Konoha Laboratory Building.

The chakra transformed into the wind, whistling through the air.

Kabuto looked at the White Zetsu in the arena and quickly formed hand seals.

This White Zetsu is not a real White Zetsu; it is pieced together from cultured White Zetsu cells.

In short, it has no soul.

Drawn by chakra, White Zetsu trembled continuously, surrounded by light as thin as paper.

But after a few moments, he fell to the ground again.

The expected resurrection did not occur.

"So, they really do need living sacrifices."

Natsume, who was watching from the side, said with some emotion.

"Remember to capture a few more live White Zetsu."

Kabuto lowered his hands and gave a reminder.

Natsume nodded and turned to leave.

White Zetsu mainly comes from two sources.

First, it is the transformation of humans who have been affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Second, it is a White Zetsu cultivated from the Gedo Mazo and Hashirama cells.

The 100,000 White Zetsu of the Fourth Shinobi World War were created using the second method.

Although the two types of White Zetsu are quite similar, the former is undoubtedly stronger.

After Natsume traveled through the Dragon Vein, in order to avoid too many butterfly effects, he had Kaguya Otsutsuki create a lot of White Zetsu.

The White Zetsu currently controlled by Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu are thanks to him.

I wonder if they have all been released?

But it's okay.

White Zetsu is currently functioning as a surveillance device.

In other words, Konoha Village should have it.

Natsume activated Sage Mode, expanding his senses.

Before long, they caught two White Zetsu.

He left and then returned.

Kabuto blurted out, "So fast?"

"It wasn't a difficult thing to begin with."

Natsume tossed the unconscious White Zetsu aside and said, "Summon it."

Yakushi Kabuto nodded and began forming hand seals again.

This time it worked.

White Zetsu gradually transformed into the appearance of a young girl.

Rin Nohara.

She looked at the two unfamiliar boys in front of her with a sense of confusion.

"I...I'm dead, aren't I?"

Pure Land.

It is equivalent to the underworld.

After all ninjas die, their souls enter the Pure Land.

Moreover, it should retain memories from the present world.

For example, the Sage of Six Paths once summoned the shadows that had died in previous generations.

They are no different from when they were alive.

"You died, but you came back to life."

Natsume paused for a moment, then said, "However, it's not that we're truly alive; we're just temporarily existing in this world because of ninjutsu."

"Who are you?"

Rin Nohara roughly understood the current situation and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you revive me?"

Perhaps because she had already died once, she was calmer than expected.

"I am the Sixth Hokage, Natsume."

Natsume replied.

"The sixth generation?"

Nohara Rin paused for a moment, then asked, "How long have I been dead? How come I'm already in the sixth generation?"

Her memory was still stuck in the era of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

That is, her teacher.

In her opinion, Minato Namikaze is so young that he should live a long time.

"It's hard to explain in a short time."

Natsume chuckled and said, "Why don't you let the person you want to see tell you?"

"Kakashi, is he alright?"

After being reminded, Nohara Rin quickly asked.

The reason I didn't ask about Obito Uchiha is because he died earlier.

"Not very good."

Natsume shook his head and said, "He's seemed quite dejected ever since you two died."

Nohara Rin's face darkened upon hearing this.

She had already expected this, so she wasn't too surprised.

Where is he?

Nohara Rin said in a pleading tone, "I want to see him."

Since her resurrection, she has had a vague feeling that she has been controlled and is unable to move.

"To avoid frightening others, you can stay here for now."

Natsume thought for a moment and said, "As for Kakashi, I will have him come to see you."

Finding the best way to utilize Rin Nohara's abilities is something worth planning.

No rush.

Besides, sending her to see Kakashi Hatake should also allow her to gain a lot of Fate Points.

I just don't know if Nohara Rin can contribute?

Natsume returned to the Hokage's office.

After waiting for a long time, the notification sound of the Holy Ring of Fate did not come.

Ok.

Natsume's plan failed.

Rin Nohara, resurrected through Edo Tensei, is still considered a dead person and therefore does not possess a fate value.

The bug he was expecting did not appear.

"Sister Hong".

Natsume summoned Kurenai Yuhi and asked, "Is Kakashi Hatake in the village?"

"Here I am."

Kurenai glanced through the documents and said, "Their team has just returned from a mission."

"Call him over."

Natsume gave the instructions.

Kurenai nodded and left.

A short while later, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake still wears the same Jonin disguise he always has.

There's something I need to tell you.

Natsume looked at his dead fish-like eyes and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In a sense, this is quite cruel.

Lost and found, only to lose again.

But perhaps it's a good thing.

Kakashi Hatake has been in a slump ever since.

Especially under Natsume's influence, he did not become the team leader for Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno.

Rin Nohara's reappearance should allow her to offer him some advice.

"What is it?"

Kakashi Hatake didn't show much reaction.

His life may have been reduced to nothing more than missions.

Do you know about the Impure World Reincarnation?

Natsume took out a document and said, "Take a look."

Kakashi Hatake took it with some confusion, glanced at it, and then asked in surprise, "There's such a... ninjutsu?"

What he really meant was that there was such a shameless ninjutsu.

However, it should be noted that the developer is Tobirama Senju.

He cleverly took back those two words.

How so?

Although Kakashi Hatake was tempted by its effects, he wouldn't use it given his personality.

One reason is the fear of disturbing the spirits of the deceased.

Secondly, it was because living sacrifices were required.

Kakashi Hatake looked at Natsume, hesitant to speak.

They called him over and even showed him the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Could it be that they want him to be the one performing the spell?

But he didn't want to do it.

"The Impure World Reincarnation is related to a top-secret plan of Konoha Village."

Natsume started to make a big deal out of it, saying, "The reason I'm telling you this is because the person you were resurrected with Edo Tensei has some connection to you, so I plan to have you take care of her for a while."

"Who is it?"

Kakashi Hatake's eyes lit up; he clearly hadn't expected it to be Rin Nohara.

Because Natsume said it was somewhat related.

He subconsciously assumed it was a ninja he had worked with before.

"Go to the laboratory building."

Natsume smiled slightly and said, "We'll know who it is when the time comes."

So mysterious?

Kakashi Hatake seemed thoughtful, but didn't ask any more questions.

He bowed slightly, then took his leave and headed straight for the laboratory building.

[Because of your actions, Kakashi Hatake's fate has changed. You have gained 60 Fate Points.]

Soon, the Ring of Destiny sounded a notification.

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Rin Nohara's persuasive skills are quite impressive.

Next up is the Third Raikage.

Although it was supposed to be a sparring partner for Uchiha Sasuke, Natsume didn't plan to tell him for the sake of better results.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to prepare a task.

Natsume stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then made a plan.

This time, he doesn't plan to bring Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, but rather Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.

Hmm, two medical ninjas.

This might give Uchiha Sasuke a good chance to work hard.

Sakura Haruno goes without saying.

Natsume brought Yamanaka Ino along because he had promised her that she would go out on a mission.

I didn't expect it to take so long.

cough cough.

Actually, he had forgotten about it.

Hinata Hyuga is quite obedient.

Even if I didn't take her, she wouldn't say anything.

But Naruto Uzumaki will most likely make a huge fuss.

It's not too troublesome.

He has a very easy personality.

Natsume planned to hand him over to Matt Kay and have him take care of him temporarily for a couple of days.

Anyway, Naruto Uzumaki is fine as long as there's a mission.

Regardless of whose task it is.

Thinking of this, Natsume asked Kurenai Yuhi to bring him the latest assignment.

He wanted to see if there were any familiar original storylines that he could use for practice.

But after looking it over, it wasn't there.

That makes sense.

It's impossible for him to just happen to meet someone on a whim.

After pondering for a moment, Natsume instructed the Anbu to send over a list of intelligence.

Since Konoha doesn't have it, let's look at other ninja villages.

"Did Suiken, a Jonin from Takigakure, betray us?"

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

This name sounds familiar.

He quickly remembered.

This should be an original storyline from the anime.

The rogue ninja Suiken, in alliance with Amegakure, plans to launch a coup against Takigakure.

As a result, they encountered Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno, which led to their defeat.

Takigakure is a ninja village with a significant presence in the original work.

Because it possesses a tailed beast.

Of the nine tailed beasts, eight were distributed among the five major villages.

The Seven-Tails was given to Takigakure Village.

The reason was not mentioned.

Natsume speculated that it might be because of the unique geographical location of Takigakure.

The hidden village located behind the giant waterfall in the Land of Waterfalls.

It's somewhat similar to the Peach Blossom Spring.

To date, it has never been invaded by other ninja villages or countries.

Of course, even the safest geographical environment is meaningless to a powerful figure like Hashirama Senju.

Therefore, Natsume had no idea why he was assigned a tailed beast.

Since Shuiyan has only recently betrayed them, it should still be some time before the actual plot unfolds.

It's not hard to understand why Amegakure was involved; it was mostly for the sake of the Tailed Beasts.

Natsume, of course, wouldn't wait. His idea was to have the Third Raikage transform into the Destiny organization and contact Suiken.

They staged another self-directed and self-acted drama.

They really worked so hard.

Natsume felt he was doing a very good job.

Moreover, he didn't ask Uchiha Sasuke for anything in return.

He is truly a wonderful person.

Hmm, I could go ask Mikoto Uchiha for some compensation.

Natsume immediately stood up.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

He appeared in the Uchiha clan.

His way of ninjutsu is to act on his thoughts immediately.

cough cough.

Natsume opened the door.

Mikoto Uchiha sat on the sofa with her eyes closed.

It wasn't that he was sleeping, but rather that he was refining chakra.

In fact, she put in just as much effort as Sasuke Uchiha.

He spends his days training himself.

Before Natsume could even step forward, Uchiha Mikoto had already opened her eyes.

For ninjas, this is all instinct.

Mikoto Uchiha smiled, put down her stockinged feet, and was about to get up when Natsume stopped her.

Because she was at home, she was wearing a loose white long-sleeved shirt.

Standing high above, Natsume could clearly see her delicate collarbone.

Mikoto Uchiha noticed his reaction and naturally hugged him.

"Natsume."

Warm breath escaped from her mouth, carrying a great deal of tenderness.

Natsume's chaotic thoughts quickly calmed down.

He reached out and stroked her soft, long hair, saying, "In a while, I plan to take Sasuke out on a mission."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto gritted her teeth and stammered, "W-Will there be... danger?"

"There are definitely some dangers."

Natsume smiled and said, "But don't worry, it won't be life-threatening."

Mikoto Uchiha pursed her lips.

She understands the reasoning behind it all.

However, as a mother, worrying about her son is unavoidable.

She sighed inwardly.

If only I were strong enough.

She had already learned about Itachi Uchiha's exact strength from Natsume.

It was stronger than she had imagined.

Simply opening your eyes won't defeat him.

I also need to activate Susanoo.

But Uchiha Mikoto still hasn't figured it out.

This is most likely due to talent.

It was already extremely difficult for her to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Go wash up."

Natsume stepped back and said, "I'll go check on that black cat first."

"Um."

Mikoto Uchiha lowered her eyes slightly and nodded, her throat bobbing slightly.

She stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Natsume withdrew his gaze and moved to another room.

The two wooden figures heard the noise, looked up, and saw him.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly moved closer.

Before Natsume could speak, it had already started licking haphazardly.

This cat is quite friendly.

Natsume paused for two seconds, then reached out and stroked her soft cat back.

After getting spit on his face, he picked up the black cat and sat on the sofa.

Do you miss Kumogakure?

Natsume suddenly asked.

The previously dazed black cat suddenly came to her senses. Her body trembled, and she instinctively tried to break free from his embrace.

But she was held tightly and unable to move.

"If you want to, just meow."

Natsume casually kneaded the soft fur with both hands.

"Meow……"

The black cat called out instinctively.

My tense body relaxed again.

She comfortably squinted her eyes.

Natsume sniffed at her neck; there was a faint fragrance.

"You've been doing well lately, so I can take you back to Kumogakure."

The black cat opened its eyes, which held surprise, delight, and a hint of fear.

In short, it is quite complicated.

They wanted to return to Kumogakure, but not in this way.

If someone sees you, it's better not to reply.

The black cat looked up at Natsume, her eyes revealing her emotions.

She wanted to know exactly what would happen.

"rest assured."

Natsume smiled and said, "As long as you listen to me, I won't make things difficult for you."

The black cat responded, adjusted its body, and curled up in his arms.

At the same time, its tail swayed slightly in front of him, expressing its emotions.

"Meow."

Soon, I felt warm breath coming from my arms.

Natsume nodded with satisfaction.

However, he also understood that the two Yugitos had not truly immersed themselves in their roles.

Given the chance, she would not hesitate to devour her master.

Natsume watched the black cat's ingratiating expression and leaned back on the sofa.

He closed his eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.

The next day.

He opened his eyes and saw Uchiha Mikoto.

Natsume was somewhat puzzled.

Where is my cat?

When Mikoto Uchiha saw that he had woken up, she pursed her red lips and leaned closer.

Four thousand characters.
