Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 265 Using Backdoors

Because there was one more person, Natsume made two more dishes.

After he finished, Shizune returned from Konoha Hospital.

The three women were gathered together discussing their child, and Natsume couldn't seem to get a word in edgewise.

Thank you for your hospitality.

After finishing her meal, Uchiha Mikoto stood up and bowed, saying, "I forgot to tell Sasuke that I can't stay with Tsunade-sama any longer."

"Then let's go back quickly."

Tsunade took her hand and said, "Thank you for today; you taught me a lot."

"Lady Tsunade, what are you saying?"

Mikoto Uchiha replied with a smile, "It's what I should do."

Natsume watched the two chatting happily and couldn't help but have a sense of déjà vu.

Yes, they're like two sisters.

The only pity is that they couldn't become a couple like Uzumaki Ena and Uchiha Mikoto, who were related by marriage.

Mute is a special case.

After seeing Mikoto Uchiha to the door, Tsunade turned and went back into the hall.

"What reason did you give?"

Natsume asked with some curiosity.

"They said it was adopted."

Tsunade sighed helplessly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it."

"If you want to go public, I can."

Natsume stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said.

"no."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What are people going to think of us if this happens?"

"Anyone who dares to speak nonsense will have their tongue cut out."

Natsume pressed his hands together slightly, drawing them close to her body.

"What are you saying?"

Seeing this, Tsunade blushed slightly, grabbed his arm, and said, "It's not evening yet."

"Let me rub it for you."

Natsume blinked and said, "You must be tired after a long day."

"etc."

Tsunade pushed him away and said, "I need to feed my daughter first."

Natsume was immediately unhappy.

"That's really shameless."

Tsunade immediately laughed, tapped his forehead with her finger, and said, "If this continues, it will affect our daughter."

"Don't you have a Yin seal?"

Natsume is experienced.

We have to thank Ena Uzumaki for this.

"What nonsense are you thinking about all day?"

Tsunade curled her lip in annoyance and asked, "Is the Yin Seal used for this?"

She doesn't usually use the Yin Seal.

After all, this thing is theoretically overdrawn.

After Tsunade finished speaking, seeing his aggrieved look, she leaned close to him and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm."

One minute later.

Tsunade took a couple of breaths, then turned and walked towards the room.

Natsume scratched his head.

He thought for a moment and then went to the kitchen.

When Tsunade finished preparing Chinatsu's dinner, she came out to find Shizune looking completely exhausted.

There were still tear stains at the corners of her eyes, as if she had been crying.

"Don't come any closer."

Tsunade said with a look of disgust, "You're disgusting! Go take a shower!"

"Together, together."

Ignoring Tsunade's objections, Natsume carried her to the bathroom.

Silently dragging her tired body, she caught up.

night.

"I'm back."

Mikoto Uchiha opened the door.

But Sasuke Uchiha was not in the room.

She wasn't surprised.

Walking down the corridor, I saw Uchiha Sasuke practicing with his katana in the backyard.

After being brutally beaten by the Third Raikage, he realized the problem with himself.

With his Mangekyou Sharingan, he could barely make out the Third Raikage's movements.

But he himself couldn't keep up.

In fact, apart from the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan is unique and quite skilled in taijutsu, swordsmanship, and ninja tools.

However, this largely depends on the convenience brought by the Sharingan.

Now that the Sharingan no longer has an absolute advantage, his other aspects seem rather ordinary.

Especially when facing a master like the Third Raikage.

Uchiha Sasuke was not discouraged.

He felt that if he could defeat the Third Raikage, he wouldn't be far from defeating Itachi Uchiha.

"Mother."

Sasuke Uchiha noticed Mikoto Uchiha, stopped what he was doing, and said, "You're back?"

"Um."

Mikoto Uchiha quickly walked up to him, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped his sweat. "Have you eaten?"

"Eat it."

Sasuke Uchiha replied, "I ate it with Izumi-neechan."

"spring?"

Mikoto Uchiha was slightly taken aback.

Although Izumi Uchiha was a ninja of the Uchiha clan, she always obeyed only Natsume's orders.

I'm rarely home.

Therefore, Mikoto Uchiha was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I asked her some questions today."

Sasuke Uchiha scratched his head and said, "I also met a very powerful ANBU ninja."

How amazing is it?

Mikoto Uchiha smiled gently.

"I can't beat him without activating the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Sasuke Uchiha frowned. "And I feel like I've seen him before."

Uchiha Mikoto seemed to be deep in thought.

She probably guessed who it was.

Uchiha Shisui.

Although Sasuke Uchiha's strength was forcibly increased by his Mangekyou Sharingan, it does not mean that he was weak.

The three-tomoe Sharingan is enough to deal with most Jonin.

"Then you can learn more from him."

Mikoto Uchiha snapped out of her daze and said.

"I will."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded seriously.

He had just been severely beaten, and it was Uchiha Mikoto's suggestion that made the decision, so he readily accepted it.

Furthermore, Naruto Uzumaki is learning Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave.

When he returns after completing his studies, the gap may widen further.

Uchiha Sasuke is undoubtedly at the most mentally upright state of mind right now.

"Don't exercise too late."

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at the sky and said, "Two hours at most, then I'll take a shower and go to sleep."

After Sasuke Uchiha agreed, she returned to her room.

She looked at the thin white kimono on the bed and thought of Natsume.

I wonder when they'll be coming?

Mikoto Uchiha walked into the bathroom, lost in thought.

She took off her black stockings.

She didn't wear them before.

But Natsume likes it.

After taking a bath, Uchiha Mikoto changed into a new kimono.

Yes, it's quite refreshing.

It looks a bit like a swimsuit.

To avoid being seen by Uchiha Sasuke, she locked the door.

As for Natsume, he possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Mikoto Uchiha wasn't worried about him.

Her only worry was that he wouldn't come tonight.

After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Mikoto caught a whiff of a familiar scent.

"Sasuke can stay outside."

Natsume whispered a reminder.

"He's back?"

Uchiha Mikoto also subconsciously lowered her voice.

"Come here."

Natsume pulled her along, and through the crack in the door, they saw Uchiha Sasuke.

He was in the hall, tending to his katana.

This means that the Lightning Release chakra resonates with it, reaching a point of greater familiarity.

"He's been like this ever since he was defeated by that mysterious ninja."

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes showed heartache. "But given his current condition, it will be difficult for him to improve in a short period of time."

"Well, then we'll have to go through the back door."

Natsume reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, saying, "Do you need me to give him some extra tutoring?"

"what?"

Mikoto Uchiha was a little taken aback. She covered her mouth and asked, "Won't...won't this be bad?"

"What's wrong with it?"

Natsume asked with a smile, "Afraid of being found out?"

"Um……"

Mikoto Uchiha nodded.

"It's no big deal."

Natsume patted her head and said, "I am the Hokage, no one will dare to question me."

"Close the door... Go on."

Mikoto Uchiha took a deep breath, her graceful figure swaying slightly, "so as not to disturb Sasuke."

"Just don't make a sound."

Natsume smiled and said, "Besides, I need to charge some tutoring fees."

Mikoto Uchiha felt a little wronged, but there was nothing she could do.

The thunder gradually subsided.

Sasuke Uchiha exhaled, feeling a closer connection to his katana.

After all, it was forged from Kiba, one of the Seven Ninja Swords.

Even if it's not some kind of divine artifact, it's still a rare weapon.

The more you understand and become familiar with something, the more powerful it becomes.

Sasuke Uchiha sheathed his katana and subconsciously turned to look at Mikoto Uchiha's room.

He seemed to have just heard a sound.

"Mom, are you asleep?"

Uchiha Sasuke thought for a moment and then asked.

However, the sound was not loud.

He received no reply and figured they must already be asleep.

Although I don't quite understand why it's so early tonight.

Uchiha Sasuke got up and walked towards the bathroom.

The sound of rushing water filled the air.

The night was quite quiet.

Mikoto Uchiha stared blankly at her ceiling.

Relax your tense body.

The moonlight climbed into the sky.

The hardworking people still didn't get a rest.

a new day.

Hokage Building.

Natsume yawned.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

After noticing this, Kurenai asked with concern.

"really."

Natsume laughed upon hearing this.

"I feel like your smile is a bit..."

Kurenai paused, not uttering the words "smirking" aloud.

"What's up?"

Natsume tilted his head and asked.

"It's nothing."

Seeing that he had regained his usual handsome smile, Kurenai quickly waved her hand and said.

"These are the stockings I bought for you, right?"

Natsume didn't ask any more questions, his eyes fixed on her exposed calves.

"Um."

The setting sun nodded.

I felt a little shy.

Natsume bought garter stockings.

She's not used to it.

"good."

Natsume nodded in satisfaction and said.

Seeing his burning gaze, Kurenai felt that he was about to make his move.

She nervously changed the subject, saying, "There's an encrypted file."

Encryption means that only the Hokage can watch it.

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

Since taking office, he has hardly used encryption.

Nothing was kept from Yuhi Kurenai.

Besides the Akatsuki organization.

Speaking of which, having been a member for so long, it's definitely time to start taking on some tasks.

I just don't know what it is?

Natsume has been waiting for news from the Akatsuki organization.

But as the Hokage, it's not convenient for him to stay at the Wanli Sunshine Trading Company.

Let Uzumaki Ena receive it on her behalf, and then transmit it to Konoha Village.

As for Nagato's Rinnegan's Illusionary Body Technique, it is generally used for Akatsuki gatherings.

I don't use it much normally.

Natsume opened the file.

It's a bounty mission.

The target is the Fire Temple Jiriku.

He was once one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the Land of Fire, and he was quite strong.

A bounty of 30 million taels of silver has been offered on the black market.

In the original work, he died at the hands of Kakuzu and Hidan.

It's worth mentioning that Sarutobi Asuma died while trying to save him, leaving Kurenai Yuhi a widow.

Now, the timeline has undoubtedly been moved forward.

But thinking about it carefully, given Kakuzu's personality, Jiraiya is bound to be caught sooner or later.

Natsume glanced at Kurenai Yuhi.

She was looking down at him.

Their eyes met instantly.

"Wha...what's wrong?"

Kurenai noticed something strange about his gaze and subconsciously asked a question.

"How is Sarutobi Asuma doing now?"

Natsume asked with a smile, "I remember you two had a good relationship."

Kurenai Yuhi paused slightly, somewhat surprised.

After all, this issue came as quite a surprise.

She looked at Natsume, and suddenly a smile appeared on her lips.

Is he jealous?

"I have nothing to do with him."

Kurenai Yuhi said earnestly, "If you want to know about his situation, you can ask the Anbu."

"I just asked casually."

Seeing her like this, Natsume laughed. "Red Sister, go and call Sasuke over."

She glanced at him with a cold look, then suddenly revealed a mature and alluring charm that was captivating.

She turned and left.

Not long after, Uchiha Sasuke entered the Hokage's office.

"teacher."

He greeted me first, asking, "What can I do for you?"

"Your strength is now extraordinary, and you have already reached the level of a Jonin."

Natsume picked up a document and asked, "Both of your teammates are unavailable. Do you have the courage to undertake a difficult mission alone?"

"have!"

Uchiha Sasuke said without hesitation.

Instead of being nervous, I was actually looking forward to it.

"This is an S-rank mission."

Natsume casually said, "Protect Jiriku, the head priest of the Fire Temple."

"yes!"

Uchiha Sasuke took the document, glanced at it, and said, "I'll set off now."

"Go."

Natsume did not stop him.

Even if Sasuke Uchiha didn't have the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would still take him two days, no matter how fast he went.

There is enough time.

As for the land side, just send a letter there.

Given Konoha's prestige, he would naturally believe it if told he would be attacked.

"Will he be alright on his own?"

After Sasuke Uchiha left, Kurenai Yuhi asked, "Should we send ANBU ninjas for protection?"

"Need not."

Natsume smiled and said, "Red Sister, don't underestimate him. You might not even be his match."

Actually, perhaps all of them can be removed.

Kurenai Yuhi, well, she can be considered the most prominent genjutsu ninja in Konoha.

Because the Uchiha clan is not considered a pure genjutsu ninja.

They actually use fire-style techniques more often.

In the original work, Kurenai Yuhi once fought against Itachi Uchiha.

They lost pretty badly.

"It seems I'm becoming less and less useful as a secretary."

Kurenai Yuhi remarked with a sigh, "She's not even as good as a child."

Where?

Natsume retorted, "Red-sister, you're very capable."

"Then thank you for your praise, Hokage-sama."

A smile appeared on Kurenai's face.

He clearly found it quite useful.

For her, as long as she was useful to Natsume, it meant that she could hold onto her position as secretary for a long time.

I need to go out for a bit.

Natsume stood up, reached out and stroked her black stockings, and said, "I'll leave the matters of Konoha to you for the next couple of days."

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

He disappeared.

Kurenai Yuhi trembled, wanting to say something, but it was too late.

Her face flushed slightly, and she tugged at her stockings, muttering, "I really don't understand what's so great about this."

Country of Fields.

Kakuzu, who was reading a book, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Natsume slowly walked over.

Kakuzu's character design in the original work actually stems from two major hobbies.

Reading and making money.

There's something I need to explain.

Kakuzu put away his book and said, "Give me the head of the Chirai."

"no problem."

Natsume gave a smug smile. "Anyway, money is just a number to me."

"..."

Kakuzu turned and left.

Four thousand characters.
