Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

The traveler had never seen Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Its birth was due to Hagoromo Otsutsuki splitting the Ten-Tails into nine.

But it is ultimately a part of the Ten-Tails.

Kaguya Otsutsuki gained control of the God Tree by absorbing the Chakra Fruit.

Upon seeing her, a variety of emotions arose within him.

“Who…who are you?”

It resisted the urge to prostrate itself in worship and asked.

"Yataru, what are you doing?"

Its hesitation puzzled the two Yugitos. "Now is the best opportunity. As long as we capture her, Natsume will be hesitant to act, and we can return to Kumogakure."

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand expressionlessly and waved it slightly.

The two wooden figures were instantly sent flying without any resistance, crashing into the invisible wall of the sealed space before rolling to the ground.

Her consciousness was bruised and battered, and she coughed up blood.

Kaguya Otsutsuki initially didn't care about her, but she mentioned threatening Natsume.

She couldn't help but punish him.

But they didn't kill him.

She knew it was Natsume's toy.

The two Yukito looked at the traveler with disbelief.

It was being attacked, and it didn't even try to help?

What happened?

Aren't we good friends?

"By Mujin".

You Lu said seriously, "Don't be in a hurry."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's attack just now gave it a familiar aura.

It reminded me of my previous speculations about Natsume.

The original source was this person.

The two Yugito looked surprised upon hearing this: "Yataru, what's wrong with you?"

If she hadn't failed to detect any traces of illusion, she would have suspected that the traveler was being controlled by illusion, which explained his abnormal behavior.

"What is your relationship with the Sage of Six Paths?"

Ignoring the two Yugitos, Masataka looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki and asked cautiously.

"Relationship?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki stepped forward and placed her hand on Matatabi's head.

Chakra surged in.

A few seconds later, the traveler was startled and stepped back.

Without hesitation, he prostrated himself on all fours in an extremely devout manner and said, "I...I didn't know it was you...Please forgive me."

The two wooden figures were struck as if by lightning.

Tailed Beasts are all arrogant and proud creatures.

It took her a great deal of effort to establish a friendship with You Lv.

Moreover, this is all thanks to the mysterious Turtle Island in Kumogakure.

The above contains trials that help one become a perfect Jinchūriki.

The way the traveler is now behaving so humbly is simply unheard of.

When have the tailed beasts ever done this?

The two Yugito stared blankly, completely bewildered as to what was going on.

"Another journey."

Kaguya Otsutsuki said calmly, "From today onwards, you are the tailed beast of Konoha Village."

"yes!"

You answered without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki left the sealed space.

"Yukito..."

After several seconds, You Lu stood up again and said, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to help you anymore."

"Why...?"

The two Yugitos turned stiffly to look at it. "Why did you betray Kumogakure?"

"Because I never belonged to Kumogakure."

Then Lu sighed and said.

"And... what about me?"

The two wooden figures asked again.

"Feel sorry."

You Lu felt reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.

Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki helps the two Yugito break the seal outside, so what?

It was all in vain.

It's no use.

"Actually, being a cat is pretty good."

After thinking for a moment, Lu said comfortingly.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two wooden figures turned pale.

How could you possibly say something like that?

I am a human, not a cat.

After a long while, the two wooden figures leisurely got up and left the sealed space.

She opened her eyes and saw Natsume's devilish smile.

"What exactly did you do?!"

The two wooden figures suddenly spoke angrily.

Having lost all hope, she was no longer afraid of death.

"That's none of my business."

Natsume reached out and stroked her face, saying, "This is Matatabi's choice. I told you before that it would betray you."

The two wooden figures trembled, slapped his hand away, and said in despair, "Kill me!"

"What? You have no more attachments now?"

Natsume smiled and said, "What about Kumogakure? Don't you care about it anymore?"

The two Yukitos instinctively widened their eyes.

That damned devil!

She clenched her fists.

The betrayal by the traveler made her forget the purpose for which she had survived.

Now, reminded by Natsume, she couldn't help but give a bitter laugh.

"If you survive, you might still be able to save Kumogakure."

Seeing this, Natsume said.

"Wha...what do you mean?"

The two women felt a chill run down their spines and asked, "Are you going to attack Kumogakure?"

"Isn't this inevitable?"

Natsume reached out again and pinched her cheek. "Even if I don't do anything, Kumogakure won't be able to resist."

This time, the two Yukito did not dodge.

She looked at Natsume, speechless for a long time.

In Hidden Cloud Village, martial arts are rampant.

In addition, there's the Fourth Raikage's volatile temper.

One day, the Ninja World War will break out again.

The two wooden figures suddenly felt an impulse.

She wants to escape, return to Kumogakure, and stop the Fourth Raikage.

The fact that the army had submitted to her made her realize a problem.

So, who exactly is Kaguya Otsutsuki?

Even the Fourth Raikage couldn't have made Matatabi achieve that level of skill.

He can defeat them by force at most, but he won't win them over with genuine respect.

If Kumogakure and Konoha were to go to war, who would win?

Yugito Nii previously favored Kumogakure.

But now we don't know the answer.

Meow~

The two wooden figures crawled on the ground, enduring the humiliation, and rubbed their heads against Natsume's trouser legs.

Without a doubt, she decided to live, like a cat.

Natsume was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to be so decisive.

After all, there were outsiders present.

Previously, the two Yukitos absolutely refused to transform into black cats in front of outsiders.

Natsume glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki without thinking.

Her face showed a deep contemplation.

Wait, something's not right.

Given her personality, she probably wouldn't care about the two Yugitos.

Just then, Kaguya Otsutsuki asked in a cool tone, "You like this kind?"

Natsume was taken aback by what he heard.

This problem stumped him.

Do you want to play too?

Natsume couldn't help but imagine it for a moment.

The situation where Kaguya Otsutsuki transforms into a cat.

He couldn't help but gasp.

It seems...quite exciting?

But on second thought, it wasn't necessary.

This is just one form of punishment.

"You don't need to."

Natsume shook his head and said.

"Are you staying today?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki stopped pressing the matter and changed her question.

"I'll come back in a couple of days."

Natsume's body trembled, and he quickly said.

He's just been tortured, and now he's going through it again?

Who could stand this?

"Um."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded and then said, "I'm a little bored."

Natsume involuntarily looked at her.

This doesn't sound like something she would say.

Because she won't be bored as long as she has a constant source of chakra.

Now that he's gone, I'm a little bored.

This is clearly an unconventional way of expressing one's feelings.

Natsume thought for a moment.

He simply couldn't stay with Kaguya Otsutsuki forever.

The main problem is that he can't stand this kind of companionship.

Since we're bored, let's think of something fun to do.

"How about we play video games?"

Natsume spoke up.

"game?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

Natsume didn't explain, and directly spent 200 Destiny Points to exchange for a computer and most of the single-player games from his previous life.

"How is it?"

Through chakra, Natsume passed on the method of operation to her.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's eyes lit up slightly, and she said, "This seems rather interesting."

This was undoubtedly very novel for her.

She was like a caveman who suddenly connected to the internet and instantly opened up a new world.

Seeing her like this, Natsume suspected that she would become a shut-in.

But that's alright.

Daimyofu, the capital of the Land of Waves.

Natsume touched the two Yugito's soft cheeks and said, "I'll come find you to play again next time."

[Because of your actions, the fates of Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, and Inoichi Yamanaka have changed. You have gained a total of 450 Fate Points.]

[Because of your actions, the fates of Yugito, Matatabi, and Tayuya have changed. You have gained a total of 230 Fate Points.]

The notification sounds of the Destiny Rings, one after the other, rang out.

The former were all ninjas who had signed contracts with Ryuchi Cave.

The value of changing one's fate is not much.

After all, the help from summoned beasts is limited.

The latter is relatively better.

In particular, the two Yukito and Matatabi have a relatively high Fate Value.

Because their fates were drastically changed.

The Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage, this is a situation report."

Uzuki Yugao has returned.

"Hard."

Natsume glanced at it, but there wasn't much to note.

The White Snake Immortal was very accommodating; no snakes caused any trouble.

"How is everyone's mood?"

Natsume put down the documents and asked casually.

"Everyone is very happy."

After thinking for a moment, Uzuki Yugao said, "They asked me to express their gratitude to you for obtaining the summoning beasts from Ryuchi Cave."

This incident undoubtedly boosted Natsume's reputation once again.

While not utterly devoted, they were certainly loyal.

How so?

The ninja mindset in this world is still quite simple.

If there are tangible benefits, then one can offer their heart.

"That's good."

Natsume smiled and said, "Go and rest."

"Yes."

After bowing, Uzuki Yugao left.

Soon, Kurenai Yuhi entered.

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

She handed over a document and said, "Lord Jiraiya has returned to Konoha."

"What a rare guest."

Natsume raised an eyebrow, smiled, and opened the file.

It contains Jiraiya's movement trajectory.

The reason why the Anbu were able to detect it so clearly was because Natsume gave the crystal ball he obtained at Mount Myōboku to Uchiha Shisui.

That's right, he's now in charge of the Dark Division.

Anyway, the Dark Guard wears a mask every day, so no one can know his true identity.

The main reason is that the Land of Snow no longer needs Uchiha Shisui.

After all, Kaguya Otsutsuki was there.

That's the safest place in the entire ninja world.

As for the Land of Waves, it is protected by Konan.

There's no problem.

To avoid waste, Uchiha Shisui was appointed as the leader of the Anbu.

He was quite satisfied with the position.

Natsume glanced at the documents.

Jiraiya met Hiruzen Sarutobi.

So, he already knew about Mount Myōboku.

That makes sense; he was able to sense the problem simply by using psychic abilities.

But it's nothing serious.

Because it can't create any waves.

If they have any self-awareness, Natsume wouldn't mind letting them go for Tsunade's sake.

If they remain stubbornly unrepentant, there's nothing that can be done.

"Don't worry about it."

Natsume said casually.

Jiraiya held a special position in the village.

It's understandable that Yuhi Kurenai values ​​it.

However, after hearing Natsume's instructions, he nodded.

"The Hyuga clan chief said he wants to meet you."

"Oh? Where is he?"

Natsume was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't really talked to his future father-in-law in a long time.

At most, I only met him when I went to see Hinata Hyuga.

"It's right outside the door."

Kurenai bent down and retrieved the documents from the table.

Natsume suddenly reached out and patted her thigh.

"you……"

Kurenai was startled and blushed slightly as she looked at him.

"This is in return for you stealing a kiss from me."

Natsume said with a smile.

"rogue!"

Yuhi Kurenai gave him a playful glare, then, clutching the documents, strode away.

She wasn't angry.

"Sister Hong".

Natsume called out to her, "Your stockings have a run."

Kurenai instinctively looked at her feet.

The stockings were snagged on the calf and calf, and were torn.

Her ears turned bright red instantly.

It was like fleeing.

A moment later, the door was reopened.

Hiashi Hyuga walked in, looking preoccupied.

"Uncle Hiashi".

Natsume took the initiative and asked, "What do you want?"

"Lord Hokage, you should know about the Caged Bird Seal, right?"

Hiashi Hyuga paused for a moment, then said, "The reason I asked you to take Hanabi as your adopted sister was precisely to prevent the Caged Bird Syndrome, but..."

"But the elders of the Zong family are unwilling?"

Natsume continued, "I'll continue what he's saying."

"The elders had put pressure on me many times before, but recently they have joined forces with many other members of the clan."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded and said.

"Does this include members of a branch family?"

Natsume asked upon hearing this.

"Um."

Hiashi Hyuga sighed and said, "In their view, it's unfair to the divided family if Hanabi doesn't plant the Caged Bird Seiryu."

Before they were housed in the Caged Bird Seiryu, each branch family member was actually similar to Hinata Hanabi.

But now that she enjoys special privileges, they are naturally unwilling.

"Uncle Hiashi, what would you do if you lost control of the Caged Bird Seiyuu?"

Natsume's question stunned Hiashi Hyuga.

His feelings toward caged birds are actually quite complex.

On the one hand, it is believed that it damages the affection between brothers or sisters.

On the other hand, it also acknowledges its importance to the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi Hyuga pondered for a moment before speaking, "The Caged Bird Seal can effectively prevent the white eyes from flowing out."

"I don't mean to abolish caged birds."

Natsume explained, "Instead, we are returning control of the caged bird to the branch family."

"..."

Hiashi Hyuga remained silent.

"Caged birds nowadays have become an unnecessary burden."

Natsume looked at him and asked, "If it's just about preventing it from leaking out, why forbid the branch family from learning advanced Gentle Fist? And why hold onto control so tightly?"

Hiashi Hyuga opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"If you're really determined, I can help you."

Natsume continued, "However, it wasn't me who made the move, but Hinata Hyuga."
