Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 295 Golden Cat Samui

"Be careful!"

The Fourth Raikage immediately issued a warning.

Darui and the others reacted quickly.

The forest created by Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World covers a very wide area.

When all the vines came crashing down, they were forced to stop and fight back.

Storm Release: Resilience and Determination!

Darui quickly forms hand seals.

Several lightning bolts composed of water vapor immediately extended from his hand.

Under his control, the vines attacked from all directions.

The others were not slow either.

Various ninjutsu techniques were activated.

A tapestry of colors intertwined in the air.

However, most of them use lightning techniques.

However, the Fourth Raikage did not come to the rescue.

He flashed, transforming into a purple streak of light, and slammed his elbow down towards Natsume.

Heavy storm!

After activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the Fourth Raikage became like a Saiyan, with his entire body transformed into weapons.

This is what is known as ninjutsu.

Using Lightning Release chakra to activate cells, it achieves amazing results in a short period of time.

However, the side effects are minor and within an acceptable range.

Aside from a few exceptionally powerful ninjas, very few people could actually defeat the Fourth Raikage.

He can be described as a hexagonal warrior.

It simply means it lacks a bloodline limit.

The Fourth Raikage's idea was simple.

Wood Release was used by Natsume.

If we kill him, we can save the other ninjas.

It must be said that this idea is correct.

But Natsume is precisely a ninja with cheat codes.

Especially his immortal body.

Even if the Fourth Raikage had Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it still couldn't compare to him.

Feeling the immense impact of his physical attack, Natsume smiled faintly and threw a punch.

Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, thinking to himself that he was courting death.

The fist and elbow made contact.

With a loud bang.

The enormous sound turned into sound waves that spread in all directions.

The Fourth Raikage's face was filled with horror.

An irresistible force arrived.

His body was forced backward.

The attack, which they were originally so proud of, seemed to have encountered the hardest thing in the world, and could not break through it in the slightest.

Just then, a scream rang out.

The Fourth Raikage turned around and looked.

Apart from Darui, everyone else was entangled in vines and unable to move.

Damn it!

The Fourth Raikage's face showed disbelief.

Many of the elites of Kumogakure are gathered here.

And then someone took care of it?

The Fourth Raikage preferred to believe he was under a genjutsu.

Since the Third Shinobi World War, his confidence has grown increasingly inflated.

The reason lies in the overall improvement of the strength of the Hidden Cloud Village.

If it weren't for Natsume's appearance, Konoha Village would definitely not be their match.

Of course, this is all on the premise that there is no overpowered protagonist like Naruto Uzumaki.

"Who are you, sir?"

The Fourth Raikage took a deep breath and asked.

After their recent exchange, he realized that he couldn't defeat Natsume.

Now a whole bunch of people have been arrested.

The Fourth Raikage may be reckless, but that doesn't mean he's brainless.

If the fighting continues, the Hidden Cloud Village might be completely wiped out.

Moreover, he didn't understand what the purpose of this mysterious organization was, or why it wanted to capture Killer Bee.

And what about the Wood Release expert in front of us? Is he related to Konoha Village?

Natsume was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Raikage didn't fight.

But that makes sense.

Natsume smiled faintly, without answering his question.

Although he could wipe out the Hidden Cloud Village right now, his idea was to let the Akatsuki cause some trouble first.

Moreover, he wanted to see what choice the Fourth Raikage would make.

It will definitely be different from the original work.

In that case, Natsume will also gain a lot of Fate Points.

He glanced in the direction of the corner of his eye.

They had vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Natsume vanished in a flash.

With his departure, the vines also went out of control.

The Fourth Raikage's expression changed; he hadn't expected his reaction.

He instantly transformed into lightning and chased after Kakuzu.

Now I just hope I can catch up.

But an hour later, he returned to the same spot.

Empty-handed, they gained nothing.

His face was grave.

The Hidden Cloud Village first lost the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, and now it has lost the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee.

Their strength has arguably dropped to its lowest point.

No matter how strong the other ninjas are, they all have their limits and are far inferior to Jinchuriki.

In addition, a mysterious and powerful figure has set his sights on them.

"Lord Raikage."

Darui stepped forward, his face grim, and said, "Samui has gone missing."

"Missing? What does that mean?"

The Fourth Raikage snapped out of his daze and asked with a frown.

The Wood Release master did not take anyone with him when he left.

And even if they were to take it away, why Samui of all people?

"We haven't found her."

Darui, puzzled, said, "Everyone was captured at the time, and no one noticed her. After we recovered, we realized she was missing."

The Fourth Raikage instinctively clenched his fist.

A person doesn't disappear without a reason.

The only possibility is that a Wood Release expert took her away.

Although the reason is unknown, she is now in a situation where her life or death is uncertain, just like Killer Bee.

The Fourth Raikage suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back first, then hold a meeting. Have the Anbu go find the person."

This is the last resort.

But he knew the chances were slim.

A powerful organization that appeared out of nowhere.

Without any prior intelligence, it's unlikely we'll find anything by searching now.

And even if they are found, it's uncertain whether they can be saved.

Considering Natsume's terrifying strength, even the usually fearless Fourth Raikage was somewhat bewildered.

But no matter what, the goal is to save lives.

The current situation is that there are no clues.

Not long after, a meeting was officially convened in the council hall of Kumogakure.

The participating ninjas were all Jonin, such as Tsuchishiro, Nozomi, Mabui, and Omoi.

After Darui explained the situation, the meeting room fell into shock.

They never imagined that the thriving Hidden Cloud Village would suddenly suffer such a calamity.

Both Kirabi and Samui have disappeared.

Especially the former.

However, he is the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails.

They are the strongest fighting force in Kumogakure besides the Fourth Raikage.

Just how terrifying must an enemy be that even he hasn't fought?

"The problem now is that we know nothing about them."

The Fourth Raikage surveyed the entire room and said, "If you have any thoughts, feel free to share them."

The meeting room fell silent as everyone looked at each other.

There's nothing here, so what can they say or figure out a solution?

Ultimately, many people turned their attention to Mabuyi.

Lei Ying's secretary is also an external brain.

With white hair and dark skin, wearing a suit jacket and a pencil skirt, she looks youthful and beautiful, quite young.

But it is full of wisdom and talent.

In the original work, he served as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Shinobi World War along with Nara Shikaku.

Ultimately, he tragically died at the hands of the Ten-Tails.

"The mysterious organization's goal is the Tailed Beasts."

Mabui calmly said, "Tailed beasts are not only found in our Hidden Cloud Village, but also in other ninja villages."

"You mean we're not the only ones being attacked?"

Darui couldn't help but ask.

His face showed shock.

If what Mabui said is true, it means they attacked several Jinchūriki at the same time.

It's astonishing that such a powerful and mysterious organization has managed to thrive under the noses of the Five Great Villages for so long.

This is truly terrifying.

It wasn't just Darui who thought of this; everyone else did too.

The meeting room fell silent once again.

"Um."

Mabui nodded and analyzed, "If it were simply a matter of seeking revenge, he could have killed Killer Bee directly, but he didn't, which means his real target is the Tailed Beast."

"Then we can only wait and see how things go in the other ninja villages."

The Fourth Raikage spoke in a somber tone.

They didn't have to wait long.

The battle between the tailed beasts was never meant to be kept secret; it was a massive affair.

Furthermore, the Hidden Cloud Village has spies in various ninja villages.

Such a significant matter naturally requires reporting.

"Both Jinchuriki from Iwagakure have been captured. It seems that, just as Mabui said, their target is the Tailed Beasts."

The Fourth Raikage put down the intelligence report, his expression rather grim.

The power of this mysterious organization exceeded his imagination.

All six of them possessed strength comparable to the Five Great Village Kage.

And it's also unknown whether there are more members.

"Could this matter be related to Konoha Village?"

Standing behind the Fourth Raikage, Darui asked, "Konoha is holding the Joint Chunin Exams, which has attracted a lot of attention. Logically, Natsume is in Kirigakure, Konoha is vulnerable, and Kurama is the most powerful tailed beast. Why didn't he go?"

"yes."

Tsuchishiro couldn't help but nod. "Moreover, the people who attacked us used Wood Release. As everyone knows, Wood Release is the iconic bloodline limit of Konoha Village."

The Fourth Raikage's eyes flickered; it did indeed make sense.

"This matter requires careful consideration."

Upon seeing this, Mabui quickly said, "If Konoha is a suspect, then Sunagakure and Kirigakure are also suspects."

"But Konoha is the most likely candidate."

The Fourth Raikage himself had a lot of grievances against Konoha Village.

The feud between the two villages has a long history.

Konoha Village certainly had reason to take action.

Furthermore, judging from Natsume's record of suppressing Sunagakure, he also has the ability to defeat Killer Bee.

The only question is where the other five powerful individuals came from.

There are named ninjas in Konoha Village, and the Fourth Raikage is quite familiar with them, but there is no one who matches that description.

"I don't deny it."

Mabui sighed and said, "Right now, there's nothing we can do about Konoha Village."

The Fourth Raikage hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Although I hate to admit it, that's really the case.

If he starts a war, will the Hidden Cloud Village win?

If neither side has a Tailed Beast, the Fourth Raikage is still confident.

However, Konoha now has the most powerful Nine-Tails, and Sunagakure, which has become its subordinate, has the One-Tails.

Two tailed beasts, plus Natsume's immense power.

The outcome of the war was predictable.

"The best course of action now is to seek an alliance and send someone to contact Iwagakure."

Mabui continued, "Then we wait. If the mysterious organization is not controlled by Konoha, then they will definitely make another move."

"What if they don't intervene?"

Darui stared at her and asked, "Does that mean it was Konoha Village who did it?"

"Very likely."

Mabui nodded and said, "Then, let the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village join forces to inquire with the Hidden Leaf Village."

"Just asking?"

Tsuchishiro couldn't help but ask, "What about Killer Bee and Samui?"

Mabuyi remained silent.

She shared the same thoughts as the Fourth Raikage.

Can we win a war?

The residence of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village.

Accompanied by a faint spatial ripple, Natsume appeared.

Behind him lay the unconscious Samui.

He waved his hand slightly, and guided by chakra, she was placed on the bed.

Natsume glanced at her curvaceous body and then slowly left the room.

He and Kakuzu went to Kumogakure without taking the two Yugitos with them.

She was in her room at that moment.

Natsume knocked on the door.

He hadn't actually planned to bring Samui back.

But thinking that his black cat must be lonely by itself, he decided to get a golden cat instead.

The two cats have each other for company.

Moreover, Samui's personality doesn't seem to be as proud and unyielding as the two Yugitos.

However, Natsume didn't have time to play with her.

He's quite busy right now.

They didn't even consider Samui a threat.

Therefore, he planned to hand it over to the two wooden figures to handle.

The door opened.

The two Yugitos were taken aback when they saw Natsume.

She was a little surprised.

Because logically, he should be in Kirigakure right now.

Has the Joint Chunin Exams ended?

The two wooden figures quickly stepped forward and called out, "Master."

She wasn't wearing the Catwoman bodysuit or the Dark Guard uniform today.

Instead, it's just ordinary casual wear, but it looks incredibly youthful.

Natsume patted her head and said, "I've prepared a gift for you."

The two Yukito were slightly taken aback, then looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Go to the room next to yours. You should know what to do."

Natsume glanced at her, then disappeared.

The two Yugitos paused, their gazes fixed on the gate not far away.

She stepped forward, pushed him away, and was stunned.

Samui.

What happened?

What happened in Kumogakure?

Yugito and Nii would never believe that Natsume went to catch someone because he was bored with her.

If that were the case, we wouldn't have had to wait until now.

She looked at the unconscious Samui and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing old friends is certainly a happy thing.

But meeting here in Konoha Village, I really don't know what to say.

Is it good fortune or misfortune?

No matter what, keep living.

The two Yukito thought to themselves, "Only by surviving can there be hope."

Moreover, the fact that Natsume entrusted the task to her means that the methods used would not be so extreme.

As long as Samui behaves, everything should be fine.

Hidden Mist Village.

Natsume discovers that the Joint Chunin Exams are still ongoing and have not ended.

But we've reached the most exciting part.

The only remaining genin are Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Gaara, and Hinata Hyuga.

The rest of the people have all failed and their rankings are now confirmed.

Natsume was not surprised by this result.

Characters like Temari, Ino Yamanaka, and Neji Hyuga are not weak, but they are within the normal range.

Actually, there was also a Lee, who finally got his wish and faced off against Naruto Uzumaki.

In the original work, he opened the fifth gate of the Eight Gates and fought Gaara to a standstill.

However, due to the excessive consumption of five gates, he was forced to lie down for a long time.

He was only saved when Tsunade returned to the village.

This time, Natsume specifically instructed Might Guy to let Rock Lee open the fourth door at most.

Unsurprisingly, he lost the battle against Naruto Uzumaki.

Natsume glanced at Uzuki Yugao, who was disguised high up, but instead of switching places with her, he simply found a spot to watch.

At the same time, the notification sound of the Holy Ring of Fate rang out.

He gained a considerable amount from this trip, a total of 520 points of destiny.

At this moment, the match schedule flashed on the screen in the venue.

Gaara and Hinata Hyuga.

Four thousand characters.
