Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 273 Taking a hot spring with Tsunade

Konoha Onsen.

Natsume booked the entire venue and even set up a protective barrier.

"Why are you being so cautious?"

Tsunade leaned against the partition and couldn't help but laugh, "Anyone who didn't know better would think we were in another village!"

Mist rose.

Some kind of spherical object could be vaguely seen floating in the water.

"There are often peeping Toms at Konoha Hot Springs, so be careful."

Natsume submerged in the hot spring, and ripples spread outwards from the hot water.

"I have a feeling you're talking about Jiraiya."

Tsunade exhaled, closed her eyes, and said, "He came to see me yesterday."

"What do you want?"

Natsume leaned closer and rested on her right side.

He didn't do anything.

After all, the purpose of going out is to soak in hot springs, not anything else.

Although it can be done anytime, anywhere, there's no need to be in such a rush.

But why did Jiraiya want to find Tsunade?

Are you still thinking about what to do for Mount Myoboku?

Seeing that he had been staying in Konoha without making any moves, Natsume assumed that he had given up on himself.

Because whatever he does is meaningless.

On the contrary, it will only hurt yourself.

"He meant that he wouldn't be going out for a while, so he was thinking of teaching Naruto."

Tsunade looked slightly puzzled and said, "This is really unlike him. He used to prioritize the prophecy of Mount Myōboku."

It seems that Jiraiya did not mention the destruction of Mount Myōboku.

Natsume seemed lost in thought.

She probably doesn't want to offend him for the time being.

After all, Jiraiya needed the Hokage's approval to teach Naruto.

Did you say yes to him?

Natsume asked casually.

"no."

Tsunade glanced at him and said, "You're the Hokage, and Naruto is your student. What's the point of me agreeing or not?"

"Of course."

Natsume smiled and said, "If you agree, I definitely won't say anything."

"I'm not a woman who takes advantage of being pampered!"

Tsunade kicked him.

It didn't have much force.

"If you want to act cute, I'd love to!"

Natsume reached out, wanting to take her hand, and said.

"I'm not a little girl."

Tsunade slapped his hand away, preventing him from grabbing it, "We'll talk about it after you take a shower."

"Sister, I think you've misunderstood me."

Natsume understood her underlying meaning and said righteously, "I'm not that kind of person."

Tsunade stared at him, looking completely unconvinced.

"And most of the time it's you..."

Before Natsume could finish speaking, Tsunade, enraged and embarrassed, pulled him into her arms.

He clenched his right fist and punched it hard on the head several times.

Water splashed everywhere.

Natsume was repeatedly struck by the heavy abyss.

"Shut up!"

After Tsunade vented her anger, she pushed him away.

"..."

Natsume looked at her with a wronged expression.

His face was covered in hot spring water.

He looked quite disheveled.

However, Tsunade was already immune to his cutesy act.

Instead of feeling sorry for her, she laughed happily.

Natsume twitched the corner of his mouth.

Laugh now, but I'll make you cry tonight.

But will Jiraiya allow him to teach Naruto?

After a moment of contemplation, he also laughed.

To be honest, what can Jiraiya teach now?

In the original work, it's nothing more than the Rasengan, Sage Mode, and controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra.

But Naruto Uzumaki had already learned it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Tsunade was slightly alarmed when she saw his inexplicable smile.

"Thinking about what to eat tonight."

Natsume said meaningfully.

Tsunade was slightly startled.

There just doesn't feel right with that statement.

She turned her head and said, "It's still early before evening."

"Eating is a major event in life."

Natsume tilted his head.

While Tsunade wasn't looking, he opened the bottle and took a sip of the chilled milk.

"Enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot springs!"

Tsunade trembled, glared at him, and said.

"It's too hot."

Natsume licked his lips and said.

"Hmph, as expected, a casual guy."

Tsunade crossed her arms and said.

"I'm not!"

To prove himself, Natsume became a hardworking bathhouse attendant.

An hour later.

The two left the hot spring.

I soaked for too long and felt a little dizzy.

Her skin also had a reddish tinge.

Natsume is fine because he has a hermit body.

Tsunade is a more obvious example.

He walks with a stagger.

"It feels nice to soak in a hot spring once in a while."

Natsume stretched.

"It's good."

Tsunade casually picked up her clothes and put them on, saying, "But it's not appropriate for me to come out with you. I'll ask Shizune next time."

"what?"

Natsume scratched his head.

"You ruined most of my time soaking in the hot spring."

Tsunade said with dissatisfaction.

Natsume could only force a smile.

There's no way a normal man could remain indifferent in that situation.

It seems I'll have to go find Kaguya Otsutsuki before going to a hot spring next time.

The saying goes well.

Once you're full, you won't crave more food.

The two returned home.

In the hall, Shizune and Uchiha Mikoto were talking about Chinatsu.

More accurately, the latter is imparting experience.

She has two children and knows more than Jingyin.

And the silent one listened very attentively.

One reason is to take care of Chika.

Secondly, it is to prevent problems before they occur.

Who knows, her own child might be born someday.

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama."

Uchiha Mikoto noticed the two people and stood up to greet them.

"Mikoto, thank you for your help today. How about staying for dinner?"

Tsunade smiled and asked.

"No."

Mikoto Uchiha thought for a moment and said, "Sasuke is waiting for me to go back, maybe next time."

"Okay then."

Tsunade didn't force her.

"I'll take Aunt Mikoto home."

Natsume stepped forward and said, "Use the Flying Thunder God Technique so you don't have to walk."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Mikoto immediately spoke in a gentle tone.

Natsume glanced at Tsunade and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In an instant, the two appeared at the Uchiha clan's encampment.

It is the room of the two wooden figures.

When she saw Natsume and Uchiha Mikoto, her previously wary expression relaxed.

"Lord Hokage."

The two wooden figures spoke first.

She was unaware of Natsume's relationship with Uchiha Mikoto, so she addressed him as "Hokage-sama" when outsiders were present.

"Um."

Natsume didn't spend time explaining, and looked at Uchiha Mikoto again, saying, "Aunt Mikoto, please help me communicate with this black cat."

He left the room after he finished speaking.

Uchiha Mikoto and the two Yugito looked at each other in bewilderment.

But they all understood what Natsume meant.

The two Yugitos once again realized the perverse tastes of their master.

The identity of Uchiha Mikoto.

She knows it.

Unexpectedly, even the widow was taken into their possession.

Mikoto Uchiha had a different feeling.

When she first saw the two Yugito, she was wondering why the Cloud Ninja from next door had gone to Konoha to become the Hokage's bodyguard.

Now I finally understand why.

A black cat?

Does Natsume like this flavor?

Mikoto Uchiha fell into deep thought.

Natsume thought that Jiraiya would come looking for him soon, but he didn't.

Instead, there was an unexpected visitor.

Hinata Hyuga.

"Have a glass of water."

Natsume poured her a glass of water, handed it to her, and said.

"Thank you, Natsume-nii-san."

Hinata Hyuga held the water cup with both hands and took a small sip.

Her movements were elegant and adorable.

"Did you need something?"

Natsume sat down next to her and asked, "Why didn't you say so last night?"

He still brings Hinata Hyuga a late-night snack every day.

"It's because...we're discussing business today."

Hinata Hyuga said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Then tell me what it is."

Seeing her adorable appearance, Natsume couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

"It's about the caged bird."

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head slightly, feeling a little shy from the touch on her face.

But she was already used to it, so she didn't blush; on the contrary, she was quite happy.

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

He almost thought that Hiashi Hyuga wasn't planning to change the Caged Bird Sequence.

I didn't expect them to arrive so late.

He really is an indecisive person.

"I've already spoken with my father."

Hinata Hyuga said softly, "The Hyuga clan has decided to abolish the main family and branch family."

Natsume's eyes brightened slightly.

This appearance added a touch of authority to her.

She really does have the air of Hyuga-sama.

"What do you want to do?"

Natsume rubbed her head.

That air of authority vanished instantly.

"First, improve the caged bird, then win over the clan members who have branched out, and finally go to see the clan elders."

Hinata Hyuga blurted it out in one breath.

Clearly, she already had a plan in mind.

"Do as you say."

Natsume immediately said.

"Thank you, Natsume-nii-san!"

Hinata Hyuga was greatly encouraged.

Although she knew he would support her, his unwavering support still deeply moved her.

Do you have any ideas on how to improve caged birds?

At this moment, Natsume thought of the all-powerful Kaguya Otsutsuki again.

"no."

Hinata Hyuga shook her head, took out a scroll, and asked, "Natsume-nii, can the Sealing Team help us?"

Natsume opened it and glanced at it; it was information about the Caged Bird.

The Caged Bird is a type of curse seal, belonging to the category of sealing techniques.

Finding a sealing class is indeed a good idea.

However, the fact that Hiashi Hyuga was able to bring it out shows his determination; he was truly serious this time.

I'll let you know when I have the results.

Natsume put away the scroll.

He planned to go find Kaguya Otsutsuki again after some time.

After all, I had just troubled her, so I couldn't do it so frequently.

It's also bad for your health.

A month passed quickly.

The research department was successfully established.

Kurenai Yuhi recruited many computer talents from various countries.

Natsume exchanged some knowledge from their past lives for them.

Help them get the network up and running as soon as possible.

In fact, even without his intervention, this world would have appeared not long afterward.

After all, Boruto has already proclaimed that the era of ninjas is coming to an end.

What became popular were the so-called scientific ninja tools.

It is a high-tech device that uses chakra as its energy source.

The new Hokage's guard team is on track.

The previous turmoil subsided silently.

no way.

The Hokage is too powerful; even if someone is dissatisfied, no one dares to question him directly.

After all, neither the Hyuga nor the Sarutobi clans, being major ninja clans, had any objections.

The rest remained quiet.

Konoha Village is relatively peaceful.

A major event has occurred in the Land of Fire.

Previously, Natsume had intended to replace Daimyo Enichi with a different one.

However, it is easy to cause controversy.

So he adopted a more gentle approach.

They let Kazaka Koyuki and Uzumaki Ena take over the Land of Fire.

It has a similar feel to that of Cao Cao, who held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords.

Thus, the Land of Fire entered a new era.

The two worked together and issued many new orders.

Establish modern schools and the imperial examination system.

Clean up the aristocratic parasites.

Greater emphasis is placed on the economy.

In short, it's getting closer and closer to its past life.

However, it certainly won't have much effect in the short term.

Fortunately, in the world of ninjas, strength is paramount, and no matter how strong the counterattack, it will be useless.

Natsume only needs to wait for the results in Konoha Village.

The Hokage's office.

Kurenai Yuhi knocked on the door and entered.

She was slightly taken aback.

Natsume was lying on the Hokage's chair, seemingly asleep.

She thought for a moment, then stepped forward and softly called out, "Natsume."

No response.

She was a little surprised.

Given Natsume's strength, he would be awakened by the slightest disturbance.

Is he really tired?

With that in mind, Kurenai walked behind him, reached out her hand, and began to massage him.

In fact.

Natsume is currently engrossed in the Skynet.

The Skynet is structured around Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Of course, it is essentially chakra.

Chakra is a combination of mental and physical power.

Kaguya Otsutsuki possessed sufficient power to input chakra over long distances.

Natsume had a sudden, unexpected idea last time.

Kaguya Otsutsuki created an illusion using her chakra.

The two were able to play against each other online.

That's right, Natsume is playing a game with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The previous life of "Naruto".

Of course, all the pay-to-win elements have been removed, and only the battle mode has been retained.

Under normal circumstances, Natsume would certainly be no match for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

However, restrictions can be increased within Skynet.

For example, not using chakra.

The two were evenly matched.

Therefore, Natsume had no time to respond to Kurenai.

The battle is over.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was slightly outmatched.

The main problem is a lack of proficiency.

Actually, in terms of hand speed and reaction time, she is faster than Natsume.

But she's only been playing for a few days.

"I have something to do, I'll play later."

Natsume opened his eyes.

The first thing I saw was the crimson sunset.

She was staring at him.

It was supposed to be a massage.

But after a long period of no response, Kurenai stared at him, gradually becoming lost in thought.

Natsume paused slightly, then stepped forward.

Kurenai was only released when she was out of breath.

Her face was flushed, and the lipstick on her lips had faded considerably.

"I...I..."

The setting sun stammered for a long time.

The kiss had interrupted her train of thought.

"Sister Hong, tell me slowly."

Seeing this, Natsume pulled her into his arms and said with a smile.

Kurenai froze, her mind going completely blank.

Until she felt the mischievous hand on her thigh through her stockings.

She suddenly stood up.

All that remained was Natsume's rich, refreshing fragrance.

To be honest, his behavior can be described as thuggish.

Surprisingly, Kurenai Yuhi didn't get angry.

She turned her head away and reported, "Naruto... has returned from Ryuchi Cave."

"He learned Sage Mode?"

Natsume admired the shy, mature woman before him and asked.

"Um."

Kurenai felt even more uncomfortable under his gaze.

But as the Hokage's secretary, she cannot escape at this time.

She took a deep breath and said, "Lord Jiraiya said he wants to see you."

"Oh?"

Natsume was somewhat surprised.

When has Jiraiya ever been so polite?

That's definitely the attitude of someone asking for help.

"Let him come to see me."

Natsume thought to himself.

"OK."

After straightening her clothes and checking her stockings to make sure everything was in order, Yuhi Kurenai left the office.
