Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 33 Four protect one, how can you kill me in a second?

Lunch was made by Ena Uzumaki.

Very exquisite.

At first, it was Natsume who ordered takeout.

But after getting to know each other better, Ena Uzumaki took the initiative to offer to cook for herself.

Surprisingly, it turned out quite well.

If Tsunade's culinary skills are only worth 1,000, then Ena Uzumaki's are worth at least 10,000.

The difference is even greater than the difference between a human and a dog.

Natsume wasn't fabricating stories about Tsunade; it was based on his own experience.

Some people are simply not suited for the kitchen.

After dinner, Karin was sent off to study by Natsume.

To be able to learn the Analects and turn it into a collection of sayings is to be considered a genius.

This little guy is only three years old and he already shows the fiery temper he had in the original work.

Natsume felt that Karin and Tsunade should have a lot in common.

"Comfortable."

He lay on the Whirlpool Huine brand sofa, feeling warm and cozy all over.

It's not advisable to exercise after a meal, so he simply gave up.

Uzumaki Ena stared at Natsume with gentle eyes, holding him with her left arm and slowly massaging his forehead with her right.

Occasionally, I'll pat his little head and take advantage of him a bit.

This pillow is so cute, it feels so nice to squeeze it.

Ena Uzumaki quite likes it.

Natsume is the same.

Who doesn't love a soft, plush cushion?

Good times always pass too quickly.

Natsume got up and prepared to go home.

He then remembered something and said, "I'm now a genin, and I go out on missions regularly. Don't worry if I don't come for several days."

But his words made Ena Uzumaki even more worried.

For once, she, with her submissive nature, stood firm and said, "I'll go with you. I can protect you."

"The missions for genin won't be too dangerous, and my team leader is Tsunade, one of the legendary ninja."

A smile crept across Natsume's lips as he reached out and pinched her cheek, saying as if coaxing Karin, "Just wait for me to come back obediently."

Ena Uzumaki hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded.

The former residence of Hashirama Senju.

Natsume was about to open the door when he suddenly stopped.

The chicken feet almost showed.

He quickly put away the amulet that Uzumaki Ena had given him.

"We'll have dinner later."

Tsunade was in the hall, not watching TV, but looking at various documents.

Natsume leaned closer and discovered it was information related to Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

For example, who are the powerful Cloud Ninja who participated in the battle, what special ninjutsu do they possess, and in which area are they active?

Very detailed.

It's obvious that Tsunade was choosing missions for them and familiarizing herself with the battlefield beforehand.

Natsume glanced at it and picked up a piece of information.

Rabbi the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

It reads: "Extremely dangerous ninja; avoid encountering him if possible."

However, he is currently in Yunlei Gorge in Yunyin Village and has not participated in the battle.

As the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he is arguably the strongest fighter. If he participates in the battle, the nature of the situation will change.

It will turn from a local war into a full-scale war, and may even develop into the Fourth Shinobi World War.

When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured.

Other ninja villages would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Although the Hidden Cloud Village is full of brutes, it also has a few wise ninjas.

For example, the Mabuyi people.

The Fourth Raikage's secretary, she is calm, talented, and no less intelligent than the Nara clan, who are known for their high IQ.

What is most impressive is their dark, almost black skin.

It aligns with the interests of certain individuals.

In reality, given the money earned by the Gunma Casino and Gunma Bank, it doesn't matter whether Natsume does the missions or not.

But going into business can't save the ninja world.

If Nagato were to unleash a Shinra Tensei one day, all his efforts would be in vain.

No matter what, we have to bounce it back.

Strength is the foundation for survival.

Natsume put down the documents and looked at Tsunade, who was engrossed in her work.

A serious man is handsome, and a serious woman is beautiful.

Especially when she was leaning over.

The slight swaying of the mountain peaks is truly a breathtaking sight.

After a moment, Tsunade stretched, turned her head and affectionately pinched Natsume's cheek, saying, "Let's go eat."

Silent had already brought the food up.

Two years have passed, and her cooking skills have only gotten better.

However, Natsume increasingly felt that she was like a maid hired by Tsunade, as she was extremely busy.

late at night.

Tsunade led Natsume to his room.

Since her hemophobia stopped flaring up two months ago, the two of them haven't slept together.

Natsume could only sigh, "What a wicked woman! She uses me and then throws me away. My large figurine is gone!"

"Good night."

Tsunade covered him with the blanket, rubbed his head, and said, "It's winter now, and it's chilly at night, so don't kick off the blanket."

Natsume felt wronged, because it was too hot when I was sleeping with you, so I lifted the blanket.

What's the reason? Don't you know the answer?

But he didn't say anything, he just nodded.

Tsunade looked at him with a complicated expression.

She was actually not used to it at all.

But she had already realized that Natsume was no longer a child; he was about to turn ten and was only a dozen centimeters shorter than her.

In a few more years, they will be considered adults.

Because of the number of cells, people in the ninja world mature earlier.

Although Tsunade has a carefree personality, there are some things she understands.

For example, things between men and women.

Her relationship with Natsume is that of master and apprentice, siblings, and at most, adoptive mother and son.

They don't even qualify as a couple.

Sleeping in another bed would be problematic.

Tsunade sighed.

Even if she doesn't care about age, what about Natsume?

He's still quite immature now. In a few years, when he comes to his senses, he won't cling to her like he does now, but will be attracted to younger girls instead.

But I'm so sad.

The thought of Natsume leaving after growing up was unbearable for her.

"If only I were twenty years younger."

Tsunade returned to her room and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Natsume slept soundly until dawn.

As soon as she got out of bed, she quickly shrank back inside.

He looked out the window.

It's snowing.

It's white season again.

Not long after breakfast, Yakushi Kabuto arrived.

With the addition of Shizune, Tsunade's team was now complete.

However, it wasn't the mission Natsume had expected. He opened the scroll and found it was a summoning scroll.

"My summoned beast is a slug from the Wet Bone Forest, one of the three holy lands. As my disciples, you are naturally qualified to form a contract with it."

Tsunade looked at Natsume and the other two and said, "Sign your names."

Unlike the snakes of Ryuchi Cave and the toads of Mt. Myoboku, the slug is a support-type summoning beast.

Working with a medical ninja is like adding wings to a tiger.

But ordinary ninjas are no bad either; they are quite useful.

Slugs are not a species.

All slugs are merely splits or clones of the Slug Sage.

They can exchange intelligence.

Tsunade's handing the slug over to Natsume and the others was, needless to say, an additional layer of protection for them.

As for the immortal mode in Shikkotsu Forest, it wasn't that she was keeping it a secret, but rather that their conditions didn't meet the requirements.

For example, the first requirement is that one must possess a massive amount of chakra to cultivate Sage Mode.

Because Sage Chakra is a mixture of chakra and natural energy.

If you have too little chakra, it will be absorbed by natural energy.

Natsume signed his name on the scroll.

Delicious.

Tsunade, Kabuto Yakushi, Shizune, and slug.

Four protectors for one, how did you manage to kill me so quickly?

There won't be any abuse of the main character; Tsunade will definitely have a period of mental transformation. But don't you guys think this transformation period is actually more exciting?
