Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 278 Princess Kaguya and Kazahana Koyuki

"Of course I'd be willing to give it up."

Natsume stated confidently, "I can certainly afford to pay several hundred million."

Even if it really is money, with the current scale of the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce, there is absolutely no problem with it.

The country of waves, the country of snow, the country of water, the country of fire, etc.

With business in several countries combined, a few hundred million is nothing.

If it's not about money, then it's even simpler.

Yuhi Hong was stunned.

I didn't expect Natsume to be so serious.

Several hundred million.

An ordinary Jonin might not earn as much money in their entire life.

An S-level mission starts at one million taels of silver.

It's both dangerous and time-consuming.

Furthermore, a share is to be distributed to Konoha Village or teammates.

If Natsume gave her several hundred million, Kurenai Yuhi could live a life of leisure without having to struggle anymore.

Perhaps future generations won't need it either; they can just enjoy it.

"When did you learn to coax people like that?"

Kurenai continued massaging with her fingers, pursed her lips, and asked.

After her initial surprise, she still believed that Natsume was just trying to comfort her.

"Sister Hong".

Natsume chuckled and said, "Name your price. If you want a few hundred million, sell me the rest of your life."

"What are you saying?"

Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat annoyed by this. "Don't joke around!"

"I didn't."

Natsume immediately denied it, saying, "I think it's a pretty good deal to be able to buy a Hokage advisor and a Hokage secretary."

"..."

Kurenai frowned as she looked at his expression.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment, she gave a soft snort and asked, "Are you sure I can just name a price?"

"certainly."

Natsume nodded and said, "I am the Hokage, and I always keep my word."

"Two hundred million... no, five hundred million."

Kurenai Yuhi narrowed her eyes and quoted an extremely high price.

She wanted to scare Natsume.

As the Hokage's secretary, she was very familiar with the financial situation of Konoha Village.

Although there are 500 million, taking them out would inevitably cause chaos and create a shortfall.

A competent Hokage would never do such a thing.

Unless you apply to the Land of Fire.

But will they give me my full name?

impossible.

"make a deal."

Natsume stood up, reached out, and grasped Kurenai's hand, afraid she might change her mind. "Kurenai-neechan, it's settled then."

"???"

Kurenai looked puzzled.

Are you serious?

"Natsume, this is not funny."

Kurenai glared at him and said.

"Anyway, you've already agreed."

Natsume knew she didn't believe him, so he didn't explain further.

To be honest, no ninja would believe it.

But what can you do when he has so much money?

And consider it an advance payment for Kurenai Yuhi's future salary.

It's not a particularly bad deal.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Seeing this, Kurenai could only try to appease her.

At this moment, she felt that Natsume was like a child.

dusk.

Kurenai Yuhi left the Hokage Building and headed home.

"I'm back."

She opened the door and called out inside.

"Get ready to eat."

The voice of Yuhi Rin, Kurenai's mother, came through.

"Um."

Kurenai Yuhi smiled happily.

She took off her high heels, her black stockings treading on the floor, and entered the living room.

"Oh, by the way, there's a letter for you on the coffee table."

Yuhi Rin poked her head out from the kitchen doorway and said, "The Hokage sent someone to deliver it."

"What is it?"

Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat puzzled.

If there's any letter, you can simply hand it to her at the Hokage Building; there's no need to send it to her home.

"have no idea."

After finishing her speech, Xi Riling continued preparing dinner.

Kurenai sat on the sofa with her legs together, her posture very upright.

This is a required course after becoming the Hokage's secretary.

Maintain a good image.

We can't let the Hokage lose face.

As for the same at home, that's just a matter of habit.

Kurenai opened the envelope, but inside was not a letter, but a bankbook.

Fire Country Bank passbook.

After Natsume took control of the Land of Fire, the bank naturally fell into his hands as well.

His previous confidence stemmed from this reason, in addition to the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce.

Although the money in the bank doesn't belong to him, he can use it temporarily.

In other words, if one were a little ruthless, Jiraiya could instantly become penniless.

After all, he, and many other ninjas, deposited their money in the Land of Fire's bank.

Kurenai glanced at it subconsciously, then froze on the spot.

The figure above is indeed five hundred million.

At the same time, a piece of paper fell out.

Kurenai caught it.

It's Natsume's handwriting.

"Sister Hong, your life from now on belongs to me."

"..."

It took Kurenai a long time to come to her senses.

She bit her lip, put away the savings book, ran to the door, and put on her shoes.

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

Before Yuhi Rin could answer, Kurenai opened the door and quickly disappeared.

Not long after, she appeared at the bank entrance.

It is the branch of the Fire Country Bank in Konoha Village.

She went inside, and a few minutes later, she came out looking dazed.

it is true.

She could withdraw all 500 million taels immediately if she so desired.

Although giving money is considered vulgar, once the amount reaches a certain level, few people can refuse it.

Whether it's a girl or a boy.

Kurenai was so shocked by Natsume's actions that she was speechless.

a new day.

Natsume, feeling refreshed, pushed open the door to the room.

Behind them is Tsunade, still asleep.

She thought she was ready yesterday, so she recklessly fought for two more hours.

I am now completely exhausted.

After finishing his meal, Natsume left Shizune at home to take care of Chinatsu and Tsunade, and then went to the Hokage Building.

He opened the door and found that Kurenai Yuhi was already in the office.

"Sister Hong, why are you up so early today?"

Natsume actually understood the reason.

It must have been the 500 million yuan that was given to her yesterday.

"Natsume, here, take this back. I can't accept it."

Yuhi Kurenai got up and handed him the passbook.

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

How could Kurenai Yuhi resist the temptation of such a large sum of money?

It's somewhat unbelievable.

But this also shows that she is indeed a good woman.

"Didn't we already agree on this yesterday?"

Natsume shook his head and did not accept it.

"I thought it was a joke."

A faint hint of melancholy appeared in Kurenai's beautiful eyes.

"I'm not joking."

Looking at her like this, Natsume chuckled and said, "Hong-neechan, don't feel guilty. Would you feel better if you considered it as your future salary?"

Kurenai Yuhi was stunned for a moment.

According to this calculation, 500 million is not particularly outrageous.

But she always felt something was off.

It's like selling yourself into servitude.

"Alright, Sister Hong, you should go to work now. There are still many things waiting for you."

Natsume said swiftly and decisively.

"oh."

Kurenai Yuhi walked out of the Hokage's office in a daze.

She looked down at her passbook, and after a moment, she suddenly smiled.

Yeah.

Anyway, she probably won't like another person.

Selling yourself to Natsume for the rest of your life isn't actually that bad.

Daimyofu, the Land of Snow.

Natsume's appearance was immediately noticed by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

She appeared in front of him and hugged him.

Natsume immediately felt a soft touch.

There was no clothing to obstruct their view.

Because Kaguya Otsutsuki is wearing a cheongsam today.

White is elegant and understated, yet still sexy.

Since Natsume took her out for a trip last time, her lifestyle has changed quite a bit.

For example, you don't always wear the same clothes; you occasionally change them up.

Of course, all of these clothes were bought by Natsume.

"Okay."

Three minutes later, Natsume patted her slender waist.

The tight-fitting cheongsam accentuated her beautiful waist.

If it were the same outfit from the original work, her figure wouldn't be visible at all.

It is truly an excessive waste.

"Um."

Kaguya Otsutsuki responded and loosened her embrace, but then took his hand in hers.

Natsume was both amused and exasperated.

When it comes to emotions, perhaps no one can surpass Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Because she was too pure.

"Take a look at this."

Natsume pulled her to sit on the sofa, then took out the meteorite.

Kaguya Otsutsuki glanced at it, a faint ripple appearing in her white eyes.

She said, "It's part of the Ten-Tails."

According to the original work, this meteorite fell from the sky two hundred years ago.

Discovered by the first Hoshikage, the village of Hoshihikage was established on the spot.

It must have broken off from the body of the Ten-Tails, which was sealed on the moon at the time.

As for how it fell off, Natsume speculated that it might be related to the war between the main family and branch family of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon.

After all, in the end, only Otsutsuki Hamura's descendants remained, including Otsutsuki Toneri.

That war must have been extremely intense.

Furthermore, he also possesses the Tenseigan, so it seems plausible that he accidentally struck the Ten-Tails.

"This is contaminated with radiation, can it be removed?"

Natsume asked.

"able."

Kaguya Otsutsuki reached out and grasped the meteorite.

The meteorite visibly trembled.

He seemed very excited.

Soon, the meteorite was completely transformed, and the faint radioactive light that had been there before disappeared.

"Thanks."

Natsume leaned forward and kissed the corner of her mouth.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately seized the opportunity.

Only after their mouths and throats were parched did they manage to escape from the den of demons.

Natsume exhaled, feeling a slight numbness in the corners of his mouth.

He looked into Kaguya Otsutsuki's watery eyes and remembered that he had something else to do.

"etc."

Natsume grasped Kaguya Otsutsuki's hand and said, "Take a look at this scroll."

He gave me a caged bird.

I had promised Hinata Hyuga before that I would help her improve it.

Kaguya Otsutsuki glanced at it, nodded, picked up Natsume, and walked towards the room.

noon.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue knocked on the door.

She found it strange that no one responded.

Logically speaking, Kaguya Otsutsuki wouldn't go out.

She hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door.

There was no one in the living room.

But she could vaguely hear noises coming from the room.

She instinctively walked over, glanced inside, and immediately covered her mouth.

In her panic, she pushed the door open a short distance.

Natsume immediately looked at her.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue blushed and apologized.

But for some reason, her feet remained rooted to the spot and she didn't move.

Natsume raised an eyebrow and glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki.

She didn't react at all, simply lost in her own world.

"come over."

Natsume waved.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue gently bit her red lips and stepped forward.

"Um... what's up?"

A seductive glint appeared in her eyes.

"It's so cold, help me warm up."

Natsume lifted the covers and said.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue paused for a few seconds, then crawled into bed.

Night fell.

Natsume returned home.

But this time he had learned from experience, so he took a shower before going to see Tsunade.

It did not arouse any suspicion.

time flies.

Two more months passed, and winter arrived.

This also signifies the arrival of the new year.

Nothing major happened in Konoha Village.

Natsume passed on the meteorite and the Peacock Technique to Kurenai Yuhi.

This caused her strength to increase dramatically.

However, as the Hokage's secretary, she rarely goes out and has no opportunity to use her skills for the time being.

The improved Immortal Talent, combined with the curse seal, has a good effect.

But that was Orochimaru's cursed seal, and Natsume was worried.

He was waiting for Yakushi Kabuto's curse seal.

As for the Hyuga clan, with Natsume's support, Hiashi Hyuga acted quite aggressively.

The matter of Hyuga Hanabi carving the Caged Bird was temporarily suppressed.

However, Elder Hiroshi Hyuga is also gathering strength, intending to replace the clan leader.

But what he didn't know was that his actions were all being monitored by Natsume.

If he can't hold back any longer, Hinata Hyuga can take out the modified Caged Bird Seal.

There is a big event happening in the Land of Fire.

The transformation of the metropolis.

After such a long period of sorting, the Land of Fire has been completely cleared out.

The former nobility and all that existed no longer exist.

Most of the replacements were talents selected using the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Loyalty is guaranteed in the face of absolute force.

Natsume believed the time was ripe to rebuild the Fire Country metropolis based on the modern cities of his previous life.

That way, we can give Kaguya Otsutsuki a surprise.

In fact, not only her, but Tsunade and the others would probably also be surprised and shocked.

After all, the previous city was really not that great.

The Hokage's office.

Natsume rested his head on Kurenai's lap.

Since paying the price of 500 million, such things have become extremely common.

Kurenai seemed resigned to her fate, letting him take advantage of her.

The two of them were just one step away from understanding each other.

"The new students at the Ninja Academy will be graduating soon."

Kurenai massaged Natsume's head with both hands and said, "This year's freshmen are quite good."

It's more than just good.

This is simply the strongest generation ever.

If Natsume hadn't intervened, the Konoha Twelve would have been formed.

Unfortunately, this title no longer exists.

The three strongest, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga, have already graduated.

However, the remaining contestants are significantly stronger than in previous years.

"Now that the new students are graduating, we need to divide them into classes and assign teachers to their assigned groups. Do you have a plan yet?"

Kurenai asked again.

"The new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, consisting of Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Choji, and Nara Shikamaru, will be led by Yakushi Kabuto."

Natsume said with a smile, "It's time to let Kabuto go out for a stroll. If he doesn't go out soon, he'll get moldy."

"But I guess he wouldn't."

Kurenai Yuhi understood Kabuto Yakushi's personality and knew that he was devoted to research.

He would definitely be very unhappy if he were to lead the team.

"fine."

Natsume waved his hand and said, "Let Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Sakura Haruno form a team, with Shizune leading the group."

Shizune's current strength is not weak.

In the original work, she didn't learn the Yin Seal; she was always just a little short.

Previously, Natsume might not have helped.

Even if they haven't achieved anything yet, they've still put in a lot of effort.

So he spent some Fate Points to help Jingyin successfully cultivate the Yin Seal.

In addition, she and Kurenai Yuhi were also able to use the power of the meteorite together.

With the Yin Seal and the Peacock Technique, his strength is already sufficient.

"You can arrange the rest."

Natsume waved his hand and said.

Anyway, none of the others can contribute Fate Points.
