Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 27 The Mrs. Tea Party

The phrase "born as a sage" naturally refers to Shigeo.

How so?

It sounds impressive, but it's actually not that great.

Judging from his performance in the original work, Jugo's strength is at most equivalent to a Jonin, and is not particularly outstanding.

For him, becoming a sage was more of a negative effect.

This could cause him to go berserk anytime, anywhere.

Only Orochimaru was able to develop the cursed seal through him.

It's quite troublesome for everyone else to get Jugo.

Natsume thought about it and decided that giving it to Orochimaru wouldn't be a problem.

He may look down on the cursed seal, but it's actually quite useful; it's a flawed version of Sage Mode.

Especially the Heavenly Curse Seal, which greatly amplifies its power.

However, there are also quite a few side effects.

First, transplanting the cursed seal has a low survival rate.

Secondly, being in a state of being under a cursed seal for a long time can lead to a loss of self.

Third, they are subject to Orochimaru or the one who bestowed the gift.

Natsume made a killing trading the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

He didn't know where Jugo was now, but the Fate Points Shop could exchange for anything, including his whereabouts.

The price is based on the role played.

Jugo was just a minor character; his movements only cost nine points of Destiny Points.

"What do you think of this deal?" Natsume asked.

"Okay," Orochimaru readily agreed.

The power of Sage Mode needs no further explanation.

He had wanted it for a long time.

But lacking talent himself, he had to find another way.

Now that an opportunity has been presented to him, how could he possibly miss it?

While the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan are indeed valuable, they are not his own, so he doesn't feel bad about giving them away.

Besides, if they give it to us, it will definitely be a replica, so Konoha won't suffer any loss.

"Then, just like with the Hashirama cells, you will hand the items over to my subordinates."

Natsume paused, a faint smile appearing on his face, and said, "However, they are quite unhappy with your previous attack. I suggest you send someone else this time or use a shadow clone. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety."

"..."

Orochimaru's expression froze.

I was the one who got the short end of the stick last time!

I spent half a month in the hospital before I recovered. How come it's all my fault?

But since Natsume said that, there was nothing he could do; he truly didn't want to see Kakuzu and Sasori anymore.

They are truly capable of killing.

"Is there anything else?" Natsume asked.

"I want to know how to speed up Itachi Uchiha's awakening process?"

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "Right now, I can't see any signs of him awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan at all."

"You're too impatient."

Natsume was somewhat speechless. Itachi Uchiha was only six years old. "Awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan requires a certain foundation. Let's wait a few more years."

For example, Sasuke Uchiha only awakened a single tomoe Sharingan after his entire clan was wiped out.

It's not that he lacks talent, but that he's too young and lacks the necessary foundation.

Orochimaru, upon hearing this, was also at a loss.

He couldn't beat Uchiha Shisui.

The only thing we can do is work on Itachi Uchiha.

See you next time.

Natsume released his wooden clone.

Orochimaru returned to the laboratory.

He wants to continue researching the Wood Release potion.

"A, come lie down."

Orochimaru revealed his signature dangerous smile, "It's time for our regular cell harvesting."

Yamato did not hesitate and lay down on the experimental table.

He knew very well that there was no other way but to obey.

In fact, the same is true at the root.

If it were Orochimaru, it would be quite normal.

Moreover, his skills were clearly superior to Shimura Danzo's, which was excellent and allowed Yamato's Wood Release to improve more quickly.

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

"Natsume, I'll come pick you up at noon."

At the school gate, Tsunade seemed to remember something and said something.

"Is there something you need?"

Natsume looked up. He used to eat lunch at school.

"A small gathering."

Tsunade said with a smile, "There's so much delicious food that most people wouldn't want to take him along."

"OK."

Upon hearing about food, Natsume agreed.

"Good boy, pay attention in class."

Tsunade patted his head.

Natsume turned and entered the school.

"Itachi, it's rare to see you today."

"Orochimaru-sensei is busy."

Itachi Uchiha answered calmly.

I've been tormenting Yamato lately, so I haven't had time to teach him. He's always been a good student, so he came to class.

After exchanging greetings, the two ran out of things to say.

That's normal.

Not long after, Naoto Yamanaka entered the classroom.

Today is the theoretical test, also known as the Will of Fire.

Natsume took advantage of his past life as a liberal arts student, and while his writing wasn't exactly eloquent, it was at least substantial.

At noon, he left the school with Tsunade and eventually arrived at an izakaya (Japanese pub).

A typical izakaya is a small bar, but this one is very high-end; it's a large restaurant.

Natsume became increasingly puzzled. What kind of gathering was this?

A refined room.

The faint sounds of women talking and laughing could be heard.

Tsunade opened the door, allowing Natsume to see what was inside.

There were eight beautiful women, with noble bearing and gorgeous attire, many of whom were wearing kimonos.

Natsume only knew one of them, Uchiha Mikoto.

"...?"

Natsume looked completely bewildered.

Did I somehow end up in the Spider Cave?

"Lady Tsunade has arrived."

The eight beautiful women smiled warmly.

Although Tsunade doesn't cultivate relationships much, as the most capable divine doctor, connections come to her on their own.

"Oh, you even brought a handsome young man with you."

His burning gaze swept over Natsume, as if he wanted to devour him.

"It's a pity he's still a child."

A beautiful woman was chuckling, but it was unclear what she was laughing about.

"Natsume, let me introduce you."

Tsuna pointed to the beautiful woman who had just spoken and said, "The daimyo's wife is named Haraguchi Miki, and she is also the main character today. It's her birthday."

It turns out she was Lady Daming.

It's not surprising that Tsunade knew her.

The Daimyo family frequently posts missions in Konoha Village.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki and others once searched for a cat for the Daimyo's wife.

However, that famous lady was rather ugly.

This is clearly not the same person.

"Kajiwara Satoshi, the wife of the governor of Tanzaku-cho, you can ask her to take good care of your Gunma Casino in the future."

Tsunade then introduced another beautiful woman.

Natsume immediately raised an eyebrow.

No wonder they called me over; it turns out they wanted to curry favor with me.

With profits from both the legitimate and criminal worlds, his casinos naturally remained standing.

Apart from these two ladies, the other six were all wives of Konoha ninja clan members.

For example, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, and the Nara clan.

The nine beautiful women ate and drank.

Natsume was restless.

Some of those people were really going too far with their eyes!

After finishing the meal, Haraguchi Miki asked Kajiwara Satomi to draw a picture.

She lay on the soft couch, her face flushed, her posture alluring, both innocent and seductive, dignified and charming.

"Children shouldn't watch this."

Tsunade covered Natsume's eyes.

Damn it!

Can't I even enjoy looking at them?

The party is over.

Natsume sent his clone to school while he went to Uzumaki Ena's place to eat grapes.

It wasn't that he wanted to steal food from Karin.

Instead, he discovered that it could improve his body and increase his chakra.

Natsume is an orphan who has suffered from poor nutrition since childhood.

Even if one were to acquire a Wood Release talent like Hashirama Senju, the lack of a Sage Body and chakra would prevent them from reaching his invincible state.
