Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

The Land of Wind.

Izakaya.

Jiraiya sat between two cool-looking older women, his face flushed.

There were still quite a few strawberries on her neck.

"Hehe, keep drinking."

Jiraiya, holding his wine cup, smiled as he scanned the alluring body.

After leaving Konoha Village, he kept tracking Kakuzu.

The original intention was to find the location of the mysterious organization through him.

But to his surprise, Kakuzu was far more experienced.

The tracking was quickly discovered.

The two got into a fight, but it ended inconclusively.

They cannot defeat their opponents in a short period of time.

Jiao Du simply shook him off.

Jiraiya thus lost the clue.

Fortunately, Kakuzu seems to really enjoy taking on black market commissions.

This gave him the opportunity to continue his investigation.

Having learned from past mistakes, he dared not get too close, lest he be discovered.

Just then, an orange toad jumped in from outside.

"what!"

The two older sisters were immediately startled.

They had never seen such a big toad before.

And it's ugly too.

Jiraiya, his eyes glazed over with drunkenness, stared at the orange toad.

He paused for a moment, then came to his senses.

"You two go out first."

Jiraiya knew that the toad wouldn't come looking for him for no reason.

Something must have happened.

After the two left, Jiraiya asked, "What's your name? I've never seen you before."

"Lord Jiraiya."

The orange toad replied, "I am Gamama, the backup liaison between Konoha and Mount Myōboku."

"spare?"

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised and asked, "Where's Gamabunta Kosuke?"

"Dead, all dead, absolutely dead."

Suddenly, the toad became depressed and couldn't control himself; tears streamed down his face.

"What do you mean?!"

Jiraiya suddenly stood up, completely shaking off his drunkenness and becoming sober.

"Mount Myoboku has been destroyed."

The toad cried as it spoke, "All the toads are dead, and I'm the only one left."

"impossible!"

Jiraiya's face was filled with disbelief, and he instinctively roared.

He shakily raised his right hand and pressed it to the ground.

Spiritual communication!

The smoke flashed by, but the toad he wanted to summon did not appear.

Jiraiya tried several more times, and the result was the same each time.

Fukasaku Sennin, Shima Sennin, Gama Bunta and others.

None of the toads he knew came out.

This undoubtedly confirms what the toads said.

Jiraiya slumped onto the sofa, his expression blank.

A moment later, she covered her face, tears streaming down her face, and said, "It is I who have harmed Mount Myōboku."

Long ago, the Great Toad Sage told him the prophecy.

But he never found the person who destroyed Mount Myōboku.

This has led to a major disaster.

"Who is it?"

Jiraiya looked up and asked, "Who did this?"

"Natsume."

The toad answered.

"What?"

Jiraiya was stunned, and quickly asked to confirm, "Who did you say it was?"

"Natsume, the Sixth Hokage of Konoha Village".

The toad took a deep breath and said.

"How could it be him?"

Jiraiya didn't understand either.

Mount Myōboku is an ally of Konoha Village.

Why did Natsume have to resort to such ruthless methods?

How could he possess such terrifying strength?

Jiraiya closed his eyes; he no longer knew what to do.

Are we going to kill Natsume?

He's the Hokage, after all.

But the grudge against Mount Myoboku cannot go unavenged.

In his mind, the Great Toad Sage was no less important than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"teacher!"

Jiraiya opened his eyes and said, "Gamama, you're coming back to Konoha with me."

Because of the destruction of Mount Myōboku, he was unable to use the Reverse Summoning Technique.

They could only run back with the toad.

On the way, he learned about the entire process of the destruction of Mount Myoboku.

I also understand why the toads survived.

At the same time, it has been basically confirmed that this Natsume is indeed the genuine Sixth Hokage.

Because his Wood Release and Sage Mode cannot be faked.

What shocked Jiraiya was that Natsume possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This led him to some rather unpleasant associations.

If it weren't for the age discrepancy, Jiraiya could have concluded that it was Natsume who took Uchiha Shisui away.

Even if they aren't, there must be a connection between the two.

The Forest of Death.

Jiraiya stopped in his tracks.

"Toad, find a place to hide and wait for me to summon you."

Since Natsume killed all the toads of Mount Myōboku, there would be danger if the toads appeared in Konoha.

The toad hopped away.

Jiraiya leaped into the air, bypassing the main gate and instead scaling walls and rooftops at incredible speed, heading towards the Sarutobi clan's encampment.

He now only trusts Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He dared not see anyone else, including Tsunade.

Because they could all potentially tip off Natsume.

"Who?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly as he looked at the roof.

"it's me."

Jiraiya rolled off the ground and said.

Why didn't you use the main entrance?

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately smiled and asked, "This isn't like you."

Jiraiya was relatively serious in front of him.

This is the first time I've ever sneaked in so stealthily.

Besides, this is Konoha, not some other ninja village.

"Teacher, there's something I need to tell you."

Jiraiya sat down opposite him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned.

Jiraiya, who is usually full of energy, is now listless.

It reminded him of Kakashi Hatake from back then.

"You're acting very strange today. What happened?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped smiling and asked.

"Mount Myoboku was destroyed, and all the toads, including the Great Toad Sage, perished."

Jiraiya said with a heavy expression.

"How is that possible?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was more shocked than saddened.

After all, he had no emotional connection with Mount Myōboku, so naturally he wouldn't be saddened by those toads.

But he was aware of the toads' strength.

The Great Toad Immortal has lived for over a thousand years and is unfathomable.

Even after hearing this prophecy, he thought it would be difficult to realize.

Or rather, it may be many years from now before it is realized.

"Who is it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with some curiosity.

"Natsume."

Jiraiya spoke with mixed emotions.

"...?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed a blank expression.

It took a long time before he came to his senses.

"Are you sure it's Natsume?"

He still couldn't believe it.

Jiraiya formed hand seals and used the summoning technique.

Toads appeared.

After hearing what had happened, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent.

He knew Jiraiya well; he wouldn't joke about anything related to Mount Myōboku.

In other words, it's true.

The culprit was Natsume.

"What do you want to do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he looked at Jiraiya in this state.

To be honest, if he were still the Hokage, he would probably be willing to see Mount Myōboku destroyed.

After all, these toads had long been in control of the higher-ups in Konoha, including Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.

On the other hand, it cannot be said that they are completely useless.

Sage Mode and Summoning Beasts definitely made Jiraiya's strength a step further.

At times, it played a crucial role.

However, overall, there aren't many.

But Natsume is different.

He is the Hokage, possessing Sage Mode and Wood Release, and is incredibly powerful.

It is the pillar of stability for Konoha Village today.

Because of his existence, the village has become the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

Even Sunagakure Village bowed down and submitted.

Gaara, the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, even worked for Konoha Village.

What a magnificent sight!

"I have no idea."

Jiraiya shook his head, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Lord Jiraiya!"

The toad beside him cried out anxiously, "Mount Myoboku has shown you immense kindness; you must avenge this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned immediately.

But he didn't say anything.

It's understandable that toads would react this way.

"I know."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and said, "Even if we want revenge, now is not the time."

The toads fell silent.

Given the strength Natsume demonstrated at Mount Myōboku, even ten more Jiraiyas wouldn't stand a chance.

How can I take revenge?

"Jiraiya".

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, then cautioned, "Don't act impulsively."

"teacher."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there any way to remove Natsume from the Hokage position?"

He was unwilling and dared not to attack the Hokage.

Because Mount Myōboku is not considered important by other ninjas.

It's just a distant legend.

But Natsume was their true leader.

Once you take action, it's predetermined who you'll help.

Even if Jiraiya publicly revealed that Natsume destroyed Mount Myōboku, no one would blame the Hokage.

They might even praise him.

After all, they destroyed one of the three most famous holy sites.

"Unless he abdicates himself, it's impossible to remove him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless. "Don't you know his current prestige?"

In Konoha Village, Natsume is already the second God of the Shinobi World.

From top to bottom, everyone was completely obedient to him.

Those who disagree will either die or flee.

For example, Shimura Danzo.

"..."

Jiraiya actually knew all along.

But what was unexpected was that even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had served as the Third Hokage, was helpless against him.

Are all those toads on Mount Myoboku just going to die for nothing?

"Jiraiya, I understand your thoughts."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "But you are also a ninja of Konoha."

"Natsume is Natsume, and Konoha is Konoha."

The toad spoke again.

"As long as it doesn't affect Konoha Village, I support you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed the urge to kill the toad and said...

But he knew it was impossible.

Natsume is already bound to Konoha Village.

"I see."

Jiraiya nodded, exhaled, and said, "Gamama, this matter needs careful consideration."

The land of snow.

In contrast to the heavy snow outside the window, the interior was as warm as spring.

Are you going back today?

Kaguya Otsutsuki opened her eyes, exhaled a fragrant breath, and asked.

"Um."

Natsume yawned and said with a sigh, "If we don't go back soon, you're going to kill me."

He had been working himself to the bone for the past few days and hadn't slept at all.

Even an immortal's body felt waves of soreness.

Once Kaguya Otsutsuki gets carried away, she becomes quite ruthless and indifferent.

He would only reluctantly let him go if she was happy.

No, it won't.

Kaguya Otsutsuki said earnestly, "Even if you die, I will revive you."

Clearly, she didn't understand the true meaning of those words.

But this kind of place is also one of her endearing qualities.

Natsume smiled.

He remembered something, shifted his body, and reached out to stroke Kaguya Otsutsuki's smooth abdomen.

"Will you get pregnant?"

"meeting."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded and said, "But you can't."

"???"

Natsume looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Your level of life is not high enough."

Kaguya Otsutsuki noticed his expression, and a slight smile appeared on her lips as she spoke.

"oh."

Natsume immediately understood the reason.

Two words: race.

Kaguya Otsutsuki is not human, so how could she become pregnant with a human?

Only after Natsume becomes a member of the Otsutsuki clan can this happen.

Unless, like Hagoromo and Hamura, they condense life from chakra.

But not necessary.

"I'm waiting for you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki hugged Natsume tightly, holding him close, and said...

At this moment, she no longer seemed to be the high and mighty goddess of the earth.

She was a wife who deeply loved her husband.

Even though pregnancy and childbirth would distract her, she still hoped for a child that would be a result of her and Natsume's love.

Natsume was deeply moved.

The moment she raised her head, she was sensed by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

She licked her lips and said, "I'll go back tomorrow."

The wind and snow outside the window intensified.

A new day begins.

Natsume fled as if his life depended on it.

Back in the Hokage's office, he lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

The reason I didn't go to see Tsunade was because my appearance would arouse her suspicion.

Not long after, he felt a pair of gentle hands slowly massaging his forehead.

It is the crimson sunset.

Natsume could already smell the familiar scent on her.

But he didn't say hello; instead, he continued sleeping.

After a long while, he noticed a soft, warm touch.

So he opened his eyes and met the reddish-brown eyes of the setting sun.

A few seconds later, her face turned bright red.

My immediate instinct was to leave.

But Natsume reached out and pressed his hand against her head.

Kurenai's body went limp.

A clumsy response.

When she could no longer breathe, Kurenai finally straightened up.

Her eyes were glazed over as she took deep breaths of fresh air.

She looked like a perfectly ripe apple.

Between the undulations, it shimmers with a moist luster.

Upon seeing this, Natsume couldn't help but exclaim, "Red-sister, you're so beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Kurenai quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact with him.

If Natsume hadn't been lying on her lap, she would have run away by now.

"Thanks."

Natsume sat up and said, "Red-neechan's massage skills have improved again."

"No...it's nothing."

Kurenai paused slightly, then said in a low voice, "It's what a secretary should do."

"Was that something a secretary should have done?"

Natsume licked the corner of his mouth; there seemed to be a lingering taste of lipstick.

"..."

Kurenai Yuhi quickly stood up, saying in a panic, "Natsume, I have something to do, I have to go!"

The sound of rapid, heavy high heels filled the air.

She walked very fast.

Natsume stretched, admired the captivating scenery for a moment, and then looked away.

He returned to the Hokage's seat and casually picked up the documents on the table.

Because of Mount Myōboku and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, he was delayed for almost four days, so there were quite a lot of documents.

He first looked through the list, and then began to select the ninjas to sign contracts with Ryuchi Cave.

Natsume's standards are very simple.

A name and surname are sufficient.

It can contribute some fate points to him.

Anyway, there are a lot of snakes in Longdi Cave.

Those with weaker abilities can simply contract any one of them.

Those with talent and status are another matter.

For example, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, and others.
