Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 271 Black Cat Shooting Game

What is the process or standard for recruiting new members for the Hokage's Guard?

Kurenai reacted quickly and fully performed her duties as a secretary.

Previously, she would have worried that the increase in the number of people would affect her treatment.

But now, she's the Hokage's secretary, so she can rest easy.

"Here's what we'll do: you draft a list of civilian ninjas."

Natsume thought for a moment and said, "As for the various ninja clans, let them report it themselves."

As the Hokage, I have to set an example and maintain a certain level of fairness.

In fact, he already has someone in mind.

We need to strengthen it.

Unfortunately, the Konoha Twelve have not yet graduated.

Speaking of which, after graduation, Might Guy probably won't have time to serve as a member of the Hokage's Guard.

We don't have enough people.

Natsume secretly wondered if he should bring two more from other ninja villages.

"OK."

Kurenai nodded and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"I plan to reform the mission lobby."

Natsume spoke up, "The current system makes accepting missions quite troublesome. I've obtained a wireless bracelet that will make it much easier for ninjas to carry out missions."

The ninja world has radio.

In the original work, when Gaara was captured, Naruto and his friends were equipped with wireless equipment when they went to his aid.

Therefore, it is plausible that a wireless wristband was used to cover up the Skynet login device.

Even if a ninja has doubts, they won't go to the Hokage to ask.

"A wireless wristband?"

Kurenai asked, somewhat puzzled, "If it's too far away, won't it be unable to receive the signal?"

"That's fine."

Natsume took out the SkyNet login device and said, "I'll give you a few days to familiarize yourself with it, then you can start using it."

"OK."

Kurenai took the bracelet, glanced at it, and said.

That's all for now.

Natsume waved his hand and said.

Kurenai nodded and turned to leave.

She acted quickly and spread the message.

This caused quite a stir in Konoha Village.

Of course, this refers to the Hokage's guards.

Everyone knows its value.

He's only one step away from becoming Hokage.

Even if you can't become Hokage, you can still become a high-ranking member of Konoha.

Especially since Natsume is still very young and has plenty of time.

Unlike Minato Namikaze, whose career was cut short, causing his Hokage Guard to also leave the center of power.

Since each ninja clan had its own recommendation quota, no one came to Natsume.

Kurenai Yuhi arrived at Orochimaru's residence.

"red beans?"

"Hong, it's been a long time."

When Mitarashi Anko saw her, she immediately gave her a warm smile, holding a string of three-colored dumplings.

"It has indeed been a long time since we last met."

Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat moved.

After becoming the Hokage's secretary, she stopped going out on missions.

The time spent interacting with fellow ninjas of the same generation was drastically reduced.

However, she didn't feel any regret.

Given the treatment I've received, paying this price isn't too serious.

Are you here to see the teacher?

Mitarashi Anko took a bite of a dumpling, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "You're the Hokage's secretary now, is there a mission for the Hokage-sama?"

"Um."

Kurenai Yuhi didn't hide anything and said, "The Hokage wants to establish a research department and appoint Orochimaru as its head."

"I think the teacher will like this order."

Mitarashi Anko's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "But if that's the case, it will be even harder to see you, sir."

"Apprentices will eventually have to grow up independently."

Kurenai comforted her, saying, "Besides, Lord Orochimaru is always in Konoha. You can still see him if you want to."

"Too."

Mitarashi Anko said with a smile, "I was on a mission anyway, so it's normal that I can't see you, teacher."

She is a special Jonin and also possesses the Heavenly Curse Seal, so she is quite powerful.

Tasks are, of course, unavoidable.

Unless Orochimaru speaks up.

"Perhaps you could try the Hokage Guard."

Kurenai Yuhi had a sudden inspiration and said, "The Hokage is preparing to expand his recruitment. If you succeed, you can stay in Konoha Village."

Hokage Guards?

Mitarashi Anko was slightly taken aback.

This seems like a good idea.

After becoming a member of the Hokage's guard, their main task is to protect the Hokage.

Therefore, there's no need to go around doing missions anymore.

"I'll ask the teacher."

After much deliberation, Mitarashi Anko decided to first consult Orochimaru.

"Then I'll leave Lord Orochimaru to you."

Kurenai took out a warrant and said.

"no problem."

Mitarashi Anko readily agreed.

With this warrant, she could openly meet Orochimaru.

The main problem is that sometimes, when she's busy with experiments, she gets left out in the cold and ignored.

After Kurenai Yuhi left, Anko Mitarashi summoned a snake and sent it to inform Orochimaru.

She waited with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.

Not long after, Orochimaru appeared.

"teacher!"

Mitarashi Anko breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to call out.

"Um."

Orochimaru glanced at her and said, "Natsume's warrant."

Natsume gave him his greatest support.

This will allow him to focus on his research.

He didn't want to change the status quo, so he took Natsume's orders to heart.

"Give."

Mitarashi Anko produced a warrant.

Orochimaru looked it over and was somewhat satisfied.

This will make his future experiments more convenient.

He naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Teacher, there's one more thing."

Mitarashi Anko explains the situation regarding the Hokage's guards.

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback.

With Natsume's strength, does he even need the Hokage Guard?

However, this has nothing to do with him.

"Go if you want to."

Orochimaru glanced at her and said.

He still cares quite a bit about Mitarashi Anko.

There's no harm in being part of the Hokage's guard.

After all, given Natsume's strength, it's hard to say who would protect whom.

But regardless, safety should be guaranteed.

"Okay, teacher."

Anko Mitarashi smiled and asked, "Sensei, shall we have lunch together?"

"I didn't finish my experiment."

Orochimaru turned and left.

Mitarashi Anko sighed, but there was nothing she could do.

Orochimaru has this kind of personality.

Daimyofu, the capital of the Land of Waves.

"Busy again?"

The familiar voice made Ena Uzumaki look up and smile.

Natsume appeared in front of her.

He reached out and ruffled her hair, asking, "Didn't I tell you to train more successors?"

"I'm not entirely at ease."

Uzumaki Ena squinted her eyes, just like a cat, enjoying her owner's massage.

She knew about the two Yukito, so she unintentionally started imitating them as well.

"This is troublesome."

Natsume said with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

Uzumaki Ena looked up, somewhat puzzled.

"I intend to completely take control of the Land of Fire."

Natsume picked her up, sat down in his seat, and said, "You'll be even busier then."

"fine."

"Uzumaki Ena said without even thinking," she replied.

"So obedient."

Natsume took her hand, their fingers intertwined, and said.

"Are you asking me to become the daimyo of the Land of Fire?"

Uzumaki Ena realized something and immediately felt a little embarrassed. "Daimyo, I might not be able to do it."

She has always been involved in business.

She naturally lacked confidence in being put in charge of governing the country.

Natsume smiled and said, "As for the daimyo, leave it to someone else. You will continue to be in charge of the Wanli Sunshine Trading Company."

The importance of the economy is self-evident.

He needs someone he can trust to manage him.

It has to be Ena Uzumaki.

"That's good."

Instead of feeling like she had lost power, Ena Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief.

Because if she were made the daimyo, it would ruin Natsume's plans, and she would feel even more guilty.

She is a rare and good woman who doesn't compete or fight for anything.

This is related to her experience.

"I'm having lunch here today."

Natsume spoke up.

"OK!"

Uzumaki Ena immediately smiled, got up from his embrace, and said, "I'll go prepare now."

"..."

Natsume hesitated, then could only chuckle softly.

He didn't want to disturb Ena's sincerity.

I originally wanted to relax first.

But it doesn't matter.

Natsume walked towards the backyard.

He opened the door.

The two Yugitos were very sensible and came to him, raising their heads to look at him.

Since You Lu's betrayal, she seemed to have resigned herself to her fate and no longer had any other ideas.

After all, there was an undercover agent inside.

Even if she wanted to run, she couldn't escape.

Might as well be a cat.

Natsume picked up the black cat and leaned back on the sofa.

He gently pinched her cheek and asked, "Do you want to go to Konoha?"

The two Yukito looked puzzled.

What does it mean to want to go to Konoha Village?

However, there has always been one thing she doesn't understand.

Natsume is the Hokage.

She was a prisoner of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Logically, it should be sent to Konoha Village.

But she was in the Land of Waves.

"How about I let you join the Hokage's Guard?"

Natsume looked down at her and asked.

Yugito and Nii instinctively wanted to refuse.

Given her current condition, she absolutely does not want to appear in public.

Moreover, he was assigned to the Hokage's guard.

That's ridiculous.

How did she, a Jinchūriki from Kumogakure, become a high-ranking member of Konoha?

If the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee, and Mabui find out later, then there will be no way to clear my name.

Thinking of this, the two Yukito suddenly felt a little dazed.

Can I go back?

She knew very well that she couldn't stop Natsume from making that decision.

The two Yukito sighed inwardly and nodded.

"Don't worry."

Natsume patted her head and said, "I'll prepare a mask for you then."

Yugito Nii disguised herself as a member of her Hokage's guard.

He wasn't afraid of the reaction from the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, the internal workings are difficult to explain.

It's too much trouble, so I'll just keep quiet.

Like Uchiha Shisui, she was also given a part-time role in the Anbu.

The two Yukito felt much better after hearing this.

Actually, given the current situation, becoming a member of the Hokage's guard might be better.

She spends all day in her room, dressed as Catwoman, which is quite boring.

Let's go to Konoha Village, to a bigger place.

That might not be bad.

"There's still time until noon."

Natsume reached out and pinched the chins of the two Yugitos, saying, "Let's play a game."

He remembered a game from his past life called Nekopara.

It's a shooting game about cats.

It's quite fun.

After a long while.

The black cat was curled up on the sofa.

Tears still lingered on her face.

When Ena Uzumaki pushed open the door and saw this scene, she was stunned.

But she quickly realized what was happening.

She stepped forward and said, "You'll easily get sick this way."

The two wooden figures remained motionless upon hearing this.

The main problem is that I don't have the strength.

Uzumaki Ena went to the room, brought back a sheet, and covered her with it.

"Where's Natsume?"

"He's with Karin."

The two Yukitos said somewhat embarrassedly.

"have a good rest."

Seeing this, Ena patted her on the shoulder and said, "Actually, Natsume is pretty good."

"..."

The two wooden figures remained silent.

In her opinion, everything else was terrible except for that aspect.

Thinking about her previous reaction, her face turned even redder.

Uzumaki Ena smiled, and could roughly guess what she was thinking.

"From now on, we'll all be sisters."

"you……"

Yugito Nii wanted to ask, "Did you have the same experience as me?"

But that is clearly wrong.

Because she could tell that Uzumaki Ena really liked, or even deeply loved, Natsume.

That's completely different from her situation.

The two Yugito believed it was impossible for them to achieve such a feat.

Uzumaki Ena left the room.

Karin is now eleven years old.

Because she was excessively pampered, she was like a mischievous witch in the Land of Waves.

She drags Tayuya along every day, causing trouble everywhere.

However, everyone knew their identities, so they could only turn a blind eye.

When Natsume saw them, the two were disciplining a group of little brats.

They beat them so badly they cried and screamed.

He was taken aback.

Good guy!

Has it really come to this?

"Natsume-nii-san!"

Karin saw her, immediately ran over, and hugged him.

Tayuya also stopped what she was doing.

However, unlike Karin, she couldn't be as straightforward and direct, so she stood there and looked at him.

He looked conflicted.

"What are you doing?"

Natsume pointed to the group of children and asked.

"These guys were bullying other students at school, so I found them and beat them up."

Karin clenched her fist and said.

school.

It refers to the University of Waves.

It was founded by Ena Uzumaki.

The main purpose is to provide relevant education for members of the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce and their children.

All the classes were related to economics.

"I see."

Natsume patted her head and said, "Well done."

"And there's Tayuya too!"

Karin hadn't forgotten her good friend and waved to her.

Tayuya hesitated before approaching.

Natsume reached out his hand, but she dodged it.

She scoffed and said, "I was just helping Karin, it's none of your business."

"You told me before that you missed Natsume-nii."

Karin said "Eh," exposing her arrogance.

"No...nothing like that!"

Tayuya's face instantly turned red, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.

With her red hair, she looks more like a steampunk princess than Hinata Hyuga.

Karin blinked.

Seeing this, Natsume couldn't help but laugh.

This little girl hasn't inherited any of Uzumaki Ena's personality.

She does resemble him somewhat.

Natsume reached out and pinched Tayuya's cheek.

She didn't move, her head was lowered, and she didn't dare to look at her.

Fortunately, the arrival of Ena Uzumaki relieved her embarrassment.

Otherwise, she would have really had to flee in panic.

"Let's go eat."

"Uzumaki Ena said with a smile."

"Do you have any of my favorite 'Delicious Grilled' dishes?"

Karin, held in Natsume's arms, asked excitedly.

"some."

Uzumaki Ena patted her head, then took Tayuya's hand, and the four of them headed towards the Daimyo's residence.
