Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 269 Tsunade's Wood Release

"Sister Hong, you did a great job."

Natsume put down the documents and praised them.

Kurenai Yuhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Natsume wasn't there at the time, as his secretary, she discussed it with the Hokage's advisor, Hyuga Hizashi, and then dispatched Might Guy and Hatake Kakashi.

Because it involved the Nine-Tails' chakra and Sasuke Uchiha, she considered the matter to be quite serious.

"Sister Hong, I feel like I could get a promotion in two years."

Natsume said with some emotion.

Promotion?

Kurenai paused involuntarily.

At this moment, she was thinking about career advancement.

For example, the Hokage's wife.

But she soon realized that Natsume was probably referring to the Hokage advisor.

She wasn't qualified in the first place.

However, after working with the Hokage's guard and as the Hokage's secretary, she had already accumulated enough experience.

"I still have a long way to go."

Kurenai smiled and said with a self-awareness.

"That day will come."

Natsume stared into her beautiful red eyes and said.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Kurenai's heart raced a little as he gazed at her.

Natsume is the Hokage.

His words were undoubtedly a guarantee for the future.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Kurenai leaned forward slightly, exuding the fragrance of roses.

She put away the documents on the table.

Natsume was able to catch a glimpse of white.

He stroked his chin and said, "Send a letter to Kakashi."

Kurenai immediately took out paper and pen and asked, "What's on it?"

"Make the Earth and Land hand over the cultivation methods of the Immortal Clan's talents."

Natsume chuckled lightly, "He sided with Sora in this matter, which offended our Konoha Village. This is our apology."

Kurenai looked at him, feeling a little tempted.

The Temple of Fire is considered a major power in the Land of Fire.

The talents of the immortals are even more of their secret techniques.

But Natsume so casually made him hand it over.

That's real skill.

Kurenai Yuhi was already imagining how wonderful her future would be if she really married Natsume.

"Have you written it?"

Seeing that she had stopped moving, Natsume casually touched her thigh.

Hmm, the stockings have a nice texture.

No wonder he bought such high-end goods.

Kurenai Yuhi came to her senses, her face slightly flushed.

There were those who got caught slacking off, and those who got caught slacking off.

"It has already been written down."

Kurenai tensed, regaining her secretaryly authority, and asked, "Should I inform Your Excellency?"

"Why do we need to inform you by name?"

Natsume paused for a moment, then asked.

"Chiriku used to be a Guardian Ninja."

Kurenai explained.

"What does it matter?"

Natsume could understand her thoughts.

However, the daimyo of the Land of Fire was merely his puppet.

Speaking of this, perhaps we should reorganize our forces a bit.

It would be much more interesting to let Feng Hua Xiao Xue take over.

"Go ahead and do it; the lord won't have any objections."

Seeing her confusion, Natsume added another sentence.

In the minds of ordinary ninjas, the daimyo held a very high position.

All I can say is that this world is a bit abnormal.

"Yes."

Yuhi Hong responded.

She naturally obeyed the Hokage's orders more than the Daimyo's.

After she left, Natsume went home at lightning speed.

When she got home, Tsunade was watching TV.

Her daughter, Qianxia, ​​was sleeping in her arms with her eyes slightly closed.

After the previous TV series ended, Natsume had the crew of the Snow Country film a second one.

Although he thought it was just so-so, Tsunade watched it with great interest.

"That's too much, sister."

Seeing her staring intently, Natsume couldn't help but say, "You're not even going to acknowledge me when I come back?"

"We see each other every day, what's the point of paying attention?"

Tsunade placed Chinatsu in the cradle and beckoned to him.

Natsume leaned forward and was hugged by her.

"Alright, alright? Why are you acting like a child?"

Tsunade chuckled.

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

He felt that Tsunade had become much gentler.

Being a mother really makes a difference.

Natsume sat down next to her, lay down, and rested his head on her lap.

Tsunade reached out and massaged his head.

"Sister, do you remember the Wood Release awakening experiment you had Orochimaru do a long time ago?"

Natsume enjoyed her massage, his eyes trying to see her face clearly through the huge obstruction.

But it was all in vain.

"Remember."

Tsunade's expression hardened. She looked down at him and asked, "Any progress?"

His tone was filled with expectation.

If she can awaken Wood Release through this experiment, it means that the Senju clan will be reborn under her leadership.

At the same time, this is undoubtedly a good thing for Konoha Village.

The power of Wood Release is undeniable.

Even with Hashirama's cell transplant, he is still stronger than an average Jonin.

Of course, Tsunade did not want to see it this way.

After Natsume became Hokage, the project was completely halted.

The few Wood Release ninjas of the Sarutobi clan were the last remaining traces.

"Um."

Natsume nodded and said, "Orochimaru told me not long ago that he has achieved results."

"real?"

Tsunade's face lit up with surprise.

But she had no doubts, so she was mostly happy.

"Go to Konoha Hospital next Monday."

Natsume directly instructed, "Orochimaru will perform the surgery on you then."

"Can."

Tsunade immediately laughed and said, "I never thought I'd be able to use Wood Release one day."

"Wood Release isn't actually as powerful as you think."

Natsume thought for a moment and said, "Its power depends on chakra."

Tsunade has the Yin Seal, so she has actually accumulated a lot of chakra.

But the recovery is slow.

It's impossible to use Wood Release indiscriminately like Natsume.

Not to mention creating the real Thousand Hands and the Buddha on top.

The prerequisite for using these two Wood Release techniques is having Sage Chakra.

"fine."

Tsunade had anticipated this.

If Wood Release were truly that powerful, the Sarutobi clan, with its numerous Wood Release ninjas, wouldn't be in their current predicament.

After a moment, Chika woke up.

Tsunade immediately pushed Natsume away and picked up her daughter.

"..."

Natsume sighed and said, "My status has plummeted."

"Daughter, look at your father. You can't follow his example."

Tsunade, who was teasing Chinatsu, rolled her eyes at him and said.

"Don't slander me in front of your daughter."

Natsume leaned closer and said, "Chika, your mother is talking nonsense, don't believe her."

He wanted to set a good example for his daughter.

"What did you say?!"

Tsunade pursed her lips and punched Natsume on the head.

Chika stared at the two of them with wide eyes, smiling happily.

"You're the one who's setting a bad example for the children."

Natsume took her hand and said.

"Hmph, it's all your fault."

Tsunade realized her behavior was inappropriate and glared at him.

"It was my fault."

Natsume readily admitted it.

Seeing this, Tsunade let him go.

"What about muting it?"

Natsume tried to start a conversation by asking a question.

"What's wrong?"

Tsunade gave him a dangerous look, staring intently at him, and said, "You miss her?"

"no."

Natsume sensed a hint of jealousy and quickly shook his head, saying, "I was just asking when she'd be back. If it's late, I'll cook."

"Jingyin is still young, you need to be careful about her health."

Tsunade suddenly thought of something and said, "Let's find her a younger brother or sister when Chinatsu is a bit older."

She was referring to her silent pregnancy, not that she was having a second child.

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he hadn't thought about it.

I'm going to mute it; I don't have any ideas right now.

When the topic of pregnancy came up, he thought of Uchiha Mikoto.

In two months, we need to send her out on a trip.

Staying in Konoha Village and getting spotted by Tsunade would be hilarious.

Mikoto Uchiha wouldn't betray him, but she could only falsely accuse herself.

Natsume certainly wouldn't be that heartless.

Now that he's the Hokage, he can easily find any excuse to send Mikoto Uchiha out.

Let her go to the Land of Snow then.

"I'll go cook."

Natsume glanced at the time, stood up, kissed Tsunade on the cheek, and then left.

Not long after, Silently opened the door.

Since Chika was born, she has spent less time at home.

Because Tsunade doesn't need her care.

Besides, it's also quite wasteful.

Jingyin is young and ambitious.

Unlike Tsunade, this is utterly bland.

Right now, all I care about is Natsume and my daughter.

He stopped caring about everything else.

"Lady Tsunade."

Shizune took off her shoes and ran to Chinatsu.

Having a child at home is undoubtedly a treasure.

Only when Natsume served the food did the two reluctantly let Chinat go.

night.

Although Tsunade accepted Shizune, they almost never slept together.

Natsume could only be divided into two parts, the first and the second.

a new day.

The Hokage's office.

Uchiha Sasuke has returned.

Natsume finished reading the mission report he had written and couldn't help but nod.

It's written very clearly.

Various analyses, including those of Kakuzu and Takashi.

In short, he can be considered a qualified ninja.

The current Uchiha Sasuke feels more like Uchiha Itachi.

Although I sometimes can't help but want to put on an act.

"Well done."

Natsume put down the mission report and said, "Especially since you activated Susanoo this time, it means your strength has improved another step."

"It's all thanks to the teachers' guidance."

Uchiha Sasuke was unusually humble.

But that's the truth.

His ability to activate Susanoo this time was indeed thanks to Natsume.

Whether it's the thrill of transforming into Takashi or the lingering effects of enlightenment.

"teacher."

Sasuke Uchiha asked impatiently, "I want to continue investigating the mysterious organization."

"An investigation will be conducted, but it's not for you to do."

Natsume shook his head and said, "Your top priority is to consolidate your strength."

Uchiha Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed.

He was in such a hurry mainly because of Itachi Uchiha.

They didn't really want to cause trouble for the mysterious organization.

"Besides that, you can try cultivating the talents of the immortal race."

Natsume took out a scroll and said, "Perhaps your strength can improve even further."

In the original work, Uchiha Sasuke has a special Susanoo state.

That is the Cursed Seal plus Susanoo.

If all else fails, let him receive the curse mark.

"Thank you, teacher."

Sasuke Uchiha took the scroll and left the Hokage's office.

However, he didn't rush to cultivate, but went home instead.

As soon as he arrived in Konoha, he went to the Hokage Building.

Mikoto Uchiha was unaware that he had already completed his mission.

"Mother."

Uchiha Sasuke opened the door and called out.

"So happy?"

Mikoto Uchiha is sweeping the floor.

Hearing the voice, she looked up at him.

I immediately noticed his smile.

Previously, Natsume had told her that he wanted to help Uchiha Sasuke.

Now that they've gone out, it's clear that they've achieved something.

"I have activated Susanoo."

Uchiha Sasuke raised his chin and said with a hint of smugness.

It's actually Susanoo?

Mikoto Uchiha was stunned.

But she quickly smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work."

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and said.

"Did you tell your teacher?"

Mikoto Uchiha got up, put the mop aside, and asked.

"I have already met the teacher."

As Sasuke Uchiha finished speaking, he touched his stomach, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Mom, I want to eat something."

"You should rest for a while."

Mikoto Uchiha walked towards the kitchen.

Since it wasn't noon yet, she simply made herself a bowl of ramen.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't mind at all and ate happily.

Just then, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly covered her mouth and gagged a few times.

"mom?"

Sasuke Uchiha immediately tensed up and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"fine."

Mikoto Uchiha casually remarked, "She's probably just tired from cleaning for too long."

"How about we go to the hospital?"

Sasuke Uchiha was still not entirely at ease.

After losing his father and brother, Uchiha Mikoto became the most important person in his life.

Therefore, he seemed somewhat overly concerned.

"Why make it so complicated?"

Mikoto Uchiha couldn't help but laugh. "Konoha Hospital is always busy, don't bother them with trivial matters."

"oh."

Sasuke Uchiha took a couple of bites of noodles and then asked, "Should we get Sakura over here?"

"Sakura?"

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes brightened slightly as she asked, "Is she your classmate?"

"Yes. Sakura Haruno, she's Dean Nonou's apprentice."

Sasuke Uchiha clearly didn't notice his mother's gossipy gaze.

If he had known, he would definitely have regretted mentioning Sakura Haruno.

Uchiha Mikoto seemed to be deep in thought.

It's rare to see my son mention other girls, so this is a kind of progress.

"If you have time, you can invite your classmate over for dinner."

Sasuke Uchiha responded without giving it much thought.

A week passed quickly.

Konoha Hospital.

At this point, an operating room had been cleared out.

To prevent Tsunade from noticing anything amiss, she was given anesthesia.

She didn't doubt it, thinking that awakening Wood Release would be very troublesome.

After the other medical ninjas left, Orochimaru took out the pill.

He studied it for a week but had no clue.

This was a huge blow to him.

But my curiosity only grew stronger.

Orochimaru glanced at the pill, looked up, and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is this?"

That's a good question, I don't know either.

Natsume twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Whatever it is, it's none of your business."

He took the pill and put it into Tsunade's mouth.

Orochimaru remained silent.

But we can't beat them in a fight, there's nothing we can do.

If you're going to put on a show, go all the way.

Orochimaru made some more marks on Tsunade's arm.

It's basically just adding something similar to a stimulant.

An hour later, Tsunade woke up.

She glanced at her arm and felt that every cell in her body was incredibly active.

She even felt that she had become much younger.

Wood Release represents vitality.

She used the talent she obtained by exchanging the Holy Ring of Fate.

Theoretically speaking, it does have some effect on improving physical condition.

"The surgery was successful."

Orochimaru turned and left.

There's no point in staying.

"How is it?"

Natsume asked with a smile.

"very nice."

Tsunade circled in front of him and said, "I feel full of power."

Four thousand characters.
