Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 254 Takigakure Village Mission

Entrance to Konoha Village.

Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Yamanaka Ino had already arrived.

The first two are chatting.

Sakura Haruno mainly spoke, while Sasuke Uchiha listened.

Yamanaka Ino looked at the two of them with a smile.

She found it very interesting.

Especially since Sakura Haruno is her best friend.

A good friend is also a bad friend.

She could tell that Sasuke Uchiha didn't really like Sakura Haruno.

But he didn't explicitly say he disliked her.

There is clearly an opportunity.

In response, Yamanaka Ino could only offer her best wishes.

She couldn't be of much help.

In comparison, Ino Yamanaka considers herself to be much luckier.

After all, Natsume likes her.

Yeah, probably.

As Yamanaka Ino watched, she became somewhat distracted.

Why aren't they here yet?

She would occasionally turn her head to look in the direction of the Hokage Building.

The next second, Natsume suddenly appeared in front of her.

Moreover, the two were very close to each other.

The faint fragrance emanating from Yamanaka Ino made Natsume take a light breath.

This is youth.

Unlike before, Yamanaka Ino now has a diamond shape on her forehead.

This is a sign that the Yin Seal cultivation has been successful.

This means she can make adjustments to her body in the future.

After a two-second eye contact, Yamanaka Ino blushed slightly, took a step back, and said, "Natsume-kun."

"How long have you been here?"

Natsume glanced at Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura before looking down at Yamanaka Ino.

Her lips seemed to be coated with lipstick, looking shiny and soft.

"Just a few minutes."

Yamanaka Ino noticed his gaze, looked away, and dared not look at him.

"Natsume-sensei."

Uchiha Sasuke appeared in front of the two at an inopportune time.

This also gave me a chance to get rid of Sakura Haruno's incessant chatter.

For him, who is single-mindedly pursuing strength, everything else is just an obstacle.

As for love, he had no concept of it at all.

"Natsume-sensei."

Sakura Haruno followed closely behind and greeted her.

Although it was a temporary team, calling each other "teacher" shouldn't be a problem.

Besides, she is the apprentice of Yakushi Nonou, so in a sense, she is quite close to Natsume.

Let's go.

Seeing this, Natsume stopped chatting.

After registering with the two gatekeepers, the four left Konoha Village.

Takigakure is located in the northwest of the Land of Fire, right next to the Land of Grass.

If you just run there, it will take about a day.

"Natsume-kun, what's our mission this time?"

Yamanaka Ino caught up and asked.

She is quite meticulous when it comes to tasks.

Actually, she wanted to ask that question right there in the Hokage's office.

But Natsume didn't say anything.

Let them gather at the village entrance.

"Traitorous ninja water pipe."

Natsume casually remarked, "The Anbu received information that he has joined forces with a mysterious organization and plans to deal with Takigakure Village."

Yamanaka Ino nodded and wrote down the relevant information.

She then asked, "What organization is it?"

"I don't know."

Natsume shook his head. "That's one of our goals too."

End the chat.

The four of them remained silent and continued on their way.

After all, at such high speeds, one must conserve energy.

By dusk, they had arrived at the Land of Waterfalls.

Because they were not far from Takigakure Village, the four of them did not rest and made their way to their destination in one go.

A remote place whose name is unknown.

"That's truly spectacular."

Sakura Haruno exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the waterfall that was three or four hundred meters high in front of her.

"No wonder Takigakure has never been involved in wars."

Yamanaka Ino remarked, "Without a specific map, it would be very difficult to find a place like this."

"Who is our target?"

Sasuke Uchiha asked directly, "Is it related to the Tailed Beasts?"

After he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he really wanted to fight a Jinchuriki.

Although Naruto Uzumaki could meet his demands, they were teammates after all, so he couldn't kill him.

For example, his two pupil techniques.

Sasuke Uchiha was well aware of its power, and to avoid accidentally killing someone, he never used it in sparring.

"Traitorous ninja water pipe."

Natsume said casually.

Is he good at it?

Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow slightly and asked.

"good."

Natsume knew what he was thinking and said, "Don't worry, your time to shine will come."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded and said nothing more.

"Someone is approaching us."

Yamanaka Ino suddenly spoke up.

Her role in the team is that of a medical ninja and a reconnaissance ninja.

Therefore, she always maintained the necessary vigilance.

Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously reached for the katana at his waist.

This was reforged from the twin blades of Kurozuki Raiga.

It provides a good boost to Lightning Release.

He named it Futsu-no-Mitama.

This is the legendary sword of the god Jianbudu.

Uchiha Sasuke borrowed the name Futsu-no-Mitama because he had a dojutsu called Kenfutsu-no-Kami.

"It's the ninja from Takigakure who came to meet us."

Natsume raised his hand and said, "No need to be nervous."

"Hello everyone!"

Accompanied by a cheerful and lively voice, a girl with green hair and dark skin appeared before them.

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes narrowed.

Such a massive amount of chakra.

He is by no means an ordinary person.

"Fu!"

A teenager ran out from behind, his face full of displeasure. He said, "How many times have I told you not to act rashly!"

On either side were two older men wearing headbands from Takigakure Village.

"Village Chief, didn't you say that Konoha Village is our ally?"

The girl, completely unconcerned, said to Natsume and the others, "I'm Fu, let's be friends!"

芙。

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

In the original work, he participated in the joint Chunin Exams in Sunagakure.

She has a rather naive personality, is very outgoing, and is always thinking about making friends.

He looks a bit like Naruto Uzumaki.

This is related to the environment in which she grew up.

She was pampered from childhood in Takigakure Village, so much so that she was innocent and a happy little black girl.

In the end, it was Kakuzu and Hidan who killed them and took the Seven-Tails.

He was also turned into one of the Six Paths of Pain by Obito Uchiha.

It was quite tragic.

"Fu, you mustn't be rude."

The boy pulled Fu behind him, looked at Natsume, and asked, "I am Shibuki. May I ask if you are the Hokage?"

"I am."

Natsume smiled and said, "Fu is quite interesting."

"Right?"

Fu poked her head out and said, "I think we can be friends."

"Don't interrupt."

Shemu patted her head helplessly.

Although he was the one who encouraged Fudo to make friends, he needs to be mindful of the occasion and circumstances.

But we can't blame her.

That's just his personality.

Ultimately, it's because they've been spoiled too much.

Natsume suddenly thought of Naruto Uzumaki and Gaara.

If it were like this, there would probably be a lot less plot.

"Lord Hokage."

Shibuki smiled again and said, "Let me introduce you. These two are Jonin from Takigakure, Kegen and Yorou."

"Lord Hokage."

Hua Yan and the demon wolf shouted indifferently.

"My three students are Uchiha Sasuke, Yamanaka Ino, and Haruno Sakura."

Natsume said casually.

"Lord Hokage."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Shibuki got back to the main topic and asked, "Where is the water pipe now?"

Yesterday, he received a message from Konoha Village.

They were utterly shocked.

Although Takigakure has a Jinchūriki, Shibuki is quite terrified because of his timid nature.

Therefore, upon learning that Natsume would be coming, he personally came to greet him.

"We should be arriving at Takigakure Village soon."

Natsume sensed it for a moment and then spoke.

"The hookah was actually my teacher."

Shibuki's face immediately turned grim. He took a deep breath and said, "I never expected him to come to this."

"There's no other way now that things have come to this."

Natsume glanced at him and said.

Hookah and wading wood.

They do resemble Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze somewhat.

However, the latter is excellent enough.

But Shemu is far inferior.

If Natsume were a water pipe, he would have to defect as well.

"Lord Hokage, you are right."

Shibuki snapped out of his daze and said, "Let's go into the village first."

He plunged headlong into the waterfall, followed by a complex and lengthy secret passage.

After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at Takigakure Village.

Natsume once again thought of the Peach Blossom Spring.

They look so alike.

Since the hookah hadn't arrived yet, Shibuki arranged rooms for the four of them.

Night falls.

Natsume and his companions received a warm welcome.

Meanwhile, outside, Suiken and the Third Raikage had already arrived at the Great Waterfall.

Behind them was a group of wandering ninjas.

It was the arrangement for hookah.

In his plan, if the Third Raikage could defeat the Jinchuriki Fu, then victory would be assured.

If you can't win it over, there's no show to be had.

He himself had to run for his life again.

"What do you want to do?"

The Third Raikage asked in a cold tone.

"Kill Shibuki."

Suigan wants to become the new village chief, so naturally he can't possibly destroy the entire Takigakure village.

In that case, it would be meaningless.

"They're here."

Hookah narrowed its eyes.

Two ninjas wearing Takigakure headbands appeared.

"Who... is that... smoking hookah?"

The two men's expressions changed simultaneously.

"I have no interest in fighting you."

Shuiyan waved her hand and said, "Go and call Shibuki out."

The two exchanged a glance, then turned and left.

Knowing the strength of the hookah, they readily went to call for reinforcements.

As for relying on the concealment of Takigakure Village to deal with the enemy, that's even more impossible.

After all, hookahs know more secrets than they do.

"I'll leave it to you in a moment."

He took a deep breath and said.

The Third Raikage nodded expressionlessly.

Two Takigakure ninjas swiftly entered the village and found Shibuki.

"Village chief, the rogue ninja Suigan is outside, requesting to see you."

"I understand, you may leave."

Shibuki subconsciously took a breath.

Although Natsume had already told him, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard the name Suigan.

"Take us there."

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly stood up, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes.

The time had finally come for him to show his skills.

Shemu was slightly taken aback.

He was unaware of Sasuke Uchiha's strength.

I just thought that Natsume brought him here to broaden his horizons.

His current enthusiasm makes him feel that Uchiha Sasuke is a bit too confident.

"Lord Hokage."

Shibuki snapped out of his daze and asked, "What should we do now?"

It has to be said that his personality is even worse now than in the original work, and he is completely at a loss.

Here, we must mention once again the amazing abilities of Naruto Uzumaki.

It enabled Shibuki to drink the Hero's Water, regain his confidence, and defeat Suigan and the others.

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

Natsume said casually.

Of course, he wasn't in the mood for any verbal sparring.

Furthermore, since Mu remains true to his nature, in a sense, he can contribute even more to his destiny.

As soon as Natsume finished speaking, it was Uchiha Sasuke who was the most enthusiastic.

He walked straight to the front.

"Village chief, I'm going too."

Seeing that no one seemed to be mentioning her, Fu quickly spoke up.

"You can't go!"

"I'm serious," Shibuki said.

Fu is the Jinchuriki of the Seven-Tails, and is Takigakure's ace and secret weapon.

He won't use it unless absolutely necessary.

Furthermore, he did not want the Jinchūriki to be exposed to outsiders.

"But……"

Fu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"It's fine."

Yamanaka Ino smiled and said, "With us here, you don't need to lift a finger."

"good."

Shibuki gave her a grateful look and then said, "Besides, the village needs someone to look after it. I don't trust anyone else, so I can only trouble you."

"no problem!"

Fu, completely oblivious to their coordinated actions, excitedly declared, "I will definitely protect everyone!"

Shibuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and caught up with Uchiha Sasuke, heading out of the village.

Not long after, the two groups met formally.

"So they're ninjas from Konoha."

Shuiyan sneered and said, "No wonder you dared to come to see me alone."

"teacher."

Shibuki mustered his courage and said, "As long as you give up now, you will still be an advisor to Takigakure."

"That's enough!"

Shuiyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she said, "I didn't come here today to listen to your nonsense."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ninjas behind him threw kunai and shuriken.

In an instant, it was as if a black dome had covered everyone.

Uchiha Sasuke immediately placed it on the hilt of the sword.

With a crisp sound, the long sword was drawn.

A dazzling display of lightning covered the area.

In an instant, the katana transformed into a lightning blade.

Uchiha Sasuke simply swung his hand.

Lightning crackled, forming a blade several meters wide.

The shuriken and kunai were split in two.

Some of it shattered, while some bounced back.

Meanwhile, the thunder blade's momentum remained undiminished, transforming into a storm that swept across the land.

The pupils constricted during hookah smoking.

He clearly hadn't expected a little kid to have such outrageous strength.

He quickly formed a hand seal.

A wall formed of water blocked his way.

Uchiha Sasuke ignored him.

He quickly formed a hand seal.

The sounds of countless birdsong echoed throughout, even drowning out the sound of the waterfall.

The sword in Sasuke's hand burst forth with dazzling lightning.

Streaks of lightning crackled and swirled, radiating an aggressive aura in all directions.

He awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

The person vanished instantly.

A flash of lightning streaked through the air.

Before Suigan could react, Sasuke Uchiha had already raised his katana and slashed down at him.

My life is over!

Just then, another dazzling bolt of lightning rang out.

The Third Raikage stood in front of Suigen, and facing the katana wrapped in Raikiri, he threw a punch.

Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

Madness!

But the next moment, the lightning twisted.

The fist slammed into the blade, and a tremendous force surged forth.

The entire katana was trembling.

Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth but did not give up his sword.

This action also cost him dearly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Third Raikage raised his right foot and kicked out.

Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, barely managing to catch a trace, and raised his elbow to defend himself.

A snap.

It's a fracture.

Uchiha Sasuke was immediately sent flying backward.

Four thousand characters.
