Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not receive an answer to the White Snake Sage's question.

Although it was indeed a powerful being, in her eyes it was still an ant.

She doesn't like talking to ants.

The three snake queens looked at each other, their eyes filled with horror.

Because they had just sensed a hint of fear in the White Snake Immortal's tone.

So much so that they thought they were under an illusion.

Why would the White Snake Immortal have such emotions?

But the familiar scent emanating from her couldn't be faked.

"The White Snake Immortal".

Seeing this, Natsume broke the silence by speaking.

"Who are you……?"

The White Snake Immortal glanced at him and was immediately stunned.

Kaguya Otsutsuki concealed her true power, so Kaguya could not see through it.

But Natsume hasn't reached that point yet.

It immediately sensed the enormous amount of chakra within him.

This reminded it of someone, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

The White Snake Immortal felt a tremor in his heart.

Ordinary humans could never reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths.

Because it is determined by bloodline.

In other words, Natsume possesses the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan.

Only Kaguya Otsutsuki possesses this ability.

The White Snake Immortal hesitated at this moment.

Just how much power does Kaguya Otsutsuki possess now?

How should I treat her?

"Natsume, we're here to cooperate."

Natsume's answer brought the White Snake Sage back to his senses.

It looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki, who remained unmoved, and became even more puzzled.

Because the scene before my eyes was too incongruous.

It seems that Natsume is the one in charge.

Kaguya Otsutsuki is not.

Given her personality, this shouldn't have happened.

Even the former emperor of the Land of Ancestors was extremely respectful before Kaguya Otsutsuki.

But Natsume's attitude was very calm, as if the two were equals.

The White Snake Immortal pondered for a moment, then suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Natsume, the Sixth Hokage of Konoha?"

"it's me."

Natsume smiled and said, "It seems the White Snake Sage is quite interested in the ninja world."

"Orochimaru, the contractor of Ryuchi Cave in this generation, is a ninja from Konoha Village."

The White Snake Sage paused, then asked, "Since you are the Hokage, why didn't you have him come along?"

"Because it's unnecessary."

Natsume shook his head and asked, "White Snake Sage, how about the details of the collaboration?"

"What is it?"

The White Snake Immortal was quite patient.

The main reason is that it is too afraid of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Even if the one in front of it makes it somewhat suspicious, it would be best to avoid conflict if possible.

"Ryuchi Cave has many summoning beasts, but it only has Orochimaru under contract, which is a huge waste."

Natsume smiled and said, "I hope you can help the ninjas of Konoha fight and train in Sage Mode."

"impossible!"

The White Snake Sage didn't answer; it was Princess Ichikishima who spoke, "What do you take Ryuchi Cave for?!"

Following Natsume's suggestion, Ryuchi Cave became a complete vassal of Konoha Village.

Originally, they were sacred places, high above all others, ready to devour humans at any time if they were displeased.

In other words, they are in a position of absolute leadership.

Natsume, however, pulled them all down and turned them into ordinary summoning beasts.

This reaction is perfectly normal.

"Isn't your cooperation rather insincere?"

The White Snake Immortal, his face grim, spoke up, "Cooperation is about fairness, so what will our Dragon Land Cave get in return?"

If it weren't for Kaguya Otsutsuki's sake, it would have swallowed Natsume long ago.

This was the first time it had ever seen such audacious and reckless humans.

"To have the chance to survive."

Natsume shrugged and said, "Isn't this worth all the sacrifices Ryuchi-dong has made?"

"asshole!"

"What are you talking about?"

"White Snake Immortal, kill him!"

The three snake queens instantly flew into a rage.

The fear he had felt towards Kaguya Otsutsuki before vanished under the extremely humiliating circumstances.

They all assumed combat stances.

Floating in the air with its long, forked tongue sticking out, it looks extra terrifying.

The White Snake Immortal couldn't hold back either, revealing a chilling murderous aura.

Natsume's words just now were truly outrageous.

They simply didn't take Ryuchi-dong seriously.

The three sacred sites, once so powerful, now seem like ants that can be manipulated at will.

This was something the White Snake Immortal had never encountered before.

The moment her murderous intent was revealed, Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression turned cold, and she raised her hand.

Yagogami air attack!

Chakra rapidly gathered, transforming into countless fists in her hands.

In an instant, space trembled.

The White Snake Immortal and the three Snake Princesses immediately changed their expressions, a sense of life-or-death crisis surging into their hearts.

At the critical moment, a large white-scaled snake appeared.

It was the true form of the White Snake Immortal.

The immense amount of Sage Chakra condensed instantly made its body far superior to any type of armor, making it absolutely sturdy and indestructible.

It protected the three snake queens behind it.

Because it understood that facing such an attack, they would only face certain death.

However, it still underestimated Kaguya Otsutsuki at her peak.

A fist was about to land.

Countless drops of blood sprayed out.

In the blink of an eye, all sorts of cracks appeared on the white phosphorus snake's body.

This was only because Kaguya Otsutsuki showed mercy.

The three snake queens were sprayed with blood.

They all stood there, stunned.

Then, unable to contain their fear, they began to tremble, just like three terrified girls.

It is no longer as powerful as it once was.

"We...are willing...willing to cooperate."

The White Snake Immortal reverted to human form, his face deathly pale, his body covered in blood that could not be stopped.

Its eyes were filled with terror, and its voice trembled.

is her!

Kaguya Otsutsuki!

That woman has returned to the ninja world.

Moreover, its strength has not diminished in the slightest.

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Seeing this, Natsume couldn't help but sigh, "Kaguya Otsutsuki is really useful."

But for the upcoming Mount Myōboku, he wanted to do it himself.

After all, you can't just make a trip and then just watch.

Moreover, theoretically, doing it yourself will yield more contribution points.

"What do we need to do with Ryuchi-dong next?"

The White Snake Immortal, being quite pragmatic, inquired about the matter.

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

Either die or submit.

"First, I will select a group of good ninjas to enter Ryuchi Cave and find their respective summoning beasts."

Natsume held up one finger and said, "I know what kind of people you snakes are, so I'd like to trouble the White Snake Sage to give them a nudge. I don't want anything unpleasant to happen."

Summoning beasts are of little use to truly powerful individuals.

Unless it's a tailed beast.

But ultimately, it's too little.

The summoned beasts of the three holy lands are already something to be dreamed of.

This is especially true for ordinary ninjas, as it adds wings to their already formidable strength.

As can be seen from the Three Sannin, summoning beasts are a great help.

Of course, it's impossible for every ninja to have a summoning beast.

The quantity is insufficient.

Natsume's idea is to recruit Jonin and Chunin with good talent.

The White Snake Immortal nodded.

Given the current situation, it cannot refuse.

"Secondly, the cultivation of Sage Mode is quite lengthy and depends on talent."

Natsume raised another finger and said, "I don't know who can cultivate, so the three Snake Princesses will stay in Konoha Village from now on."

"No...don't..."

The three snake queens shook their heads instinctively.

His eyes were filled with pitiful longing.

They didn't want to go to Konoha Village, where they would spend every day with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

How terrifying.

The White Snake Immortal glanced at them, feeling a pang of pity.

"There are other snakes in Ryuchi Cave..."

"no."

Natsume interrupted it, saying, "Just the three of them."

The three Snake Queens have names and can contribute Fate Points.

Other snakes won't work.

"..."

The three snake queens immediately looked despairing.

They had reason to suspect that Natsume was settling a personal score.

After all, they had just attacked him.

Although it was unsuccessful.

"Then let the three of them go to Konoha Village, but I hope that they will not be harmed in consideration of their dutiful service."

The White Snake Immortal sighed inwardly and said...

"Of course not."

Natsume smiled and said, "I have always been very fair and just."

"..."

The White Snake Immortal moved his lips, unsure of what to say.

You've brought Kaguya Otsutsuki to my door, where is the fairness and justice?

"Third, lead the way to Mount Myoboku."

Natsume retracted his fingers and said indifferently.

Mount Miaomu?

The White Snake Immortal's body trembled.

Somewhat surprised, but not much.

Now that Kaguya Otsutsuki has returned, none of the three holy lands can escape.

Ryuchi Cave is already in such a terrible state, there's no reason why Mt. Myoboku would survive this calamity unscathed.

After all, the Great Toad Sage contributed the most.

Ryūji-dong can only be considered an accomplice.

The White Snake Immortal agreed without hesitation.

Its relationship with Mount Myoboku isn't great either.

It also disliked the ever-mysterious and eccentric Toad Immortal.

It's a good thing to see it make a fool of itself.

If it's worse than Ryuchi-dong, then it'll be even happier.

The White Snake Immortal is now overwhelmed with a sense of despair.

"Kaguya, heal it."

Seeing its blood-soaked appearance, Natsume spoke up.

Kaguya Otsutsuki doesn't know medical ninjutsu, but her chakra is omnipotent.

Soon, the White Snake Immortal recovered completely.

However, its aged face was filled with shock and disbelief.

The emotions were even more intense than before.

Is it seeing a ghost?

How could a human command Kaguya Otsutsuki?

What a bizarre scene this is!

For a moment, it even began to suspect that it had been under an illusion.

"You three, come here."

Natsume waved to the three snake princesses.

"..."

The three people looked at each other, and walked up to him with trepidation.

"I'll take you back to Konoha Village first."

Natsume left behind a Flying Thunder God kunai and then appeared in the laboratory building.

Kabuto raised an eyebrow.

He looked at the three snake queens.

strangeness.

But there was also a familiar feeling.

It's Sage Chakra.

He followed Orochimaru and naturally witnessed the cursed seal.

"They are the high-ranking members of Ryuchi-dong, the three great snake princesses."

Natsume explained, "They will teach you Sage Mode."

"I see."

Kabuto nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

"No...it's nothing."

Princess Tsurugi gave a forced smile.

This surprised Kabuto Yakushi quite a bit.

He had seen Orochimaru summon Manda; he looked incredibly arrogant.

The three Snake Princesses, who held higher status, were surprisingly...amiable.

He clearly sensed their awe of Natsume.

I don't know what exactly happened.

But none of this matters to him.

Anyway, he has already gotten what he wanted.

Natsume returned to Ryuchi Cave once again.

Just like before, he sent the White Snake Sage with the Flying Thunder God Kunai to Mount Myōboku.

He and Kaguya Otsutsuki were at Ame no Michūrō.

About an hour later, they arrived at the border of Mount Myoboku.

"What are your plans for dealing with Mount Myoboku?"

Unlike the Slug Sage, the White Snake Sage did not leave, but continued to follow.

After all, it's ruthless and doesn't have any feelings of embarrassment.

"Kill them all."

Natsume said calmly.

"Killed?"

Upon hearing this, the White Snake Immortal felt a pang of anxiety.

This is completely different from what it had imagined.

It thought that Mount Myoboku would end up like Ryuchi Cave.

After all, those toads are quite powerful, and they would be a great help to most ninjas.

Like the snakes of Ryuchi Cave.

"Do you know about the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage?"

Natsume asked casually.

"You mean the Child of Prophecy?"

The White Snake Sage answered instinctively, but quickly realized something was wrong. "Is it the prophecy about the destruction of Mount Myōboku?"

"The White Snake Sage knows a lot about Mount Myōboku."

Natsume paused, then asked, "Or are you saying you're close to the Great Toad Sage?"

"That's not true."

The White Snake Sage quickly explained, "Our concern for Mount Myōboku is for safety reasons."

The implication is that Mount Myoboku and Ryūchi-dō are enemies.

"The Great Toad Sage's predictions are always very accurate."

Natsume ignored the White Snake Sage's reaction and said with a smile, "So I have to help it and make the prophecy come true."

"..."

The White Snake Immortal didn't know what to say.

Its fear of the giant toad immortal stemmed from its prophecy.

Now he is to die according to prophecy; this is truly a testament to the capriciousness of fate.

Just now.

A temple deep in the Myoboku Mountains.

The Great Toad Immortal awoke from his dream.

Dreams are the omens it foretells; the two are closely related.

The dream I just had was a nightmare, filled with countless killings and bloodshed.

"Sir, you're awake?"

The sage Fukasaku, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up.

"You and Shima should immediately take Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro and leave Mount Myōboku."

The Great Toad Sage's voice sounded fast and urgent.

"Master?!"

Fukasaku the Hermit was immediately stunned. "What happened?"

"Don't ask questions, just go."

A resolute look appeared on the Great Toad Sage's face. "Go to the ninja world and live in anonymity."

"Could it be that the one who destroyed Mount Myōboku has arrived?"

Realizing something, Fukasaku blurted out, "Who is it?"

"No matter who it is, destruction is imminent."

The Great Toad Sage sighed and said, "I just had a dream, and this is a warning."

"I'll stay."

Without hesitation, the immortal Fukasaku said, "Staying here will increase our chances of winning."

"Fukasaku."

The Great Toad Sage said in a serious tone, "It is an order for you to leave."

Just then, a toad came running from a distance.

It's the toad in charge of communication.

It spat out a scroll and said, "The White Snake Immortal is coming this way with two humans."

"The White Snake Sage? What's he doing at Mount Myōboku?"

Fukasaku the Hermit paused for a moment, then picked up the scroll and opened it.

Above are portraits of Natsume and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The giant toad sage glanced at them, a chill running down his spine. He shouted, "Fukasaku, leave now! Quickly!"
