Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 335 Visiting with Mei Terumi

Natsume kissed Hinata Hinata on the cheek, then got up and changed his clothes.

He left the room.

Samui, who was sitting at his desk, immediately looked at him.

"You take care of her, and when she wakes up, let her take a bath."

Natsume pointed to the sleeping Hinata Hyuga.

"Yes, Master."

Samui answered immediately.

Although they got there first, she knew that Hinata Hyuga was different.

As the Hokage's lawfully wedded wife, her status was far above theirs.

Natsume simply vanished.

When they reappeared, they were in accommodations arranged by other ninja villages who were attending the wedding.

"What... Lord Hokage?"

Chojuro's wariness turned into respect.

In the original work, he became the next Mizukage.

Their skill level is indeed quite low.

Like the leg shadow of Kurotsuchi, it's not outstanding, or rather, top-notch.

But we can't blame them.

Upon closer reflection, no one of their generation was stronger than them.

Things are a little different now.

At least in Kirigakure, there are several people more suitable than Chojuro.

For example, Zabuza Momochi.

Of course, he is also quite old.

However, if we can hold on for a while and wait for more juniors to grow up, it will still be possible.

"Lord Mizukage, are you there?"

Natsume is concerned about the next Mizukage of Kirigakure because he hopes that Mei Terumi will retire as soon as possible.

"She's inside."

Chojuro stepped aside.

Natsume knocked on the door and entered after receiving permission.

Mei Terumi is working.

Upon seeing him, she asked indifferently, "Lord Hokage, what are you doing here instead of enjoying the company of women?"

Natsume sensed a strange, unsettling aura.

Although I had managed to seduce her well two days ago, given Mei Terumi's personality, she wouldn't accept it so easily.

Letting her say a few words, Natsume didn't think it was a big deal.

"Why aren't you getting some rest?"

He walked over, glanced at the documents on the table, and felt a headache coming on.

"..."

Mei Terumi glared at him and said, "Kirigakure isn't as simple as Konoha."

"You should learn from me."

Natsume walked around behind her, reached out his hands, and gently kneaded her smooth, soft shoulders.

"There aren't many truly capable people in Kirigakure."

Mei Terumi sighed.

Natsume had previously given her some information about the organization of Konoha Village.

She did as instructed, establishing a secretariat to assist with the process.

However, the results were not as good as expected.

One reason is that there are few talented people in Wuyin Village.

Secondly, the affairs of Kirigakure are more complicated than those of Konoha.

Natsume was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Solving the talent problem is a long-term process.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "Have you been to the Konoha Ninja Academy?"

Mei Terumi shook her head.

Like everyone else, she still held traditional views about ninja academies, believing them to be places that only trained ordinary genin.

"You've actually fallen into a misconception."

Natsume smiled and said, "Why must we use a powerful ninja as a secretary?"

Mei Terumi was slightly taken aback.

Because this is a tradition.

Moreover, wouldn't it cause trouble if ordinary ninjas were to manage matters concerning ninjas?

But on second thought, it makes sense.

It requires both immense strength and the ability to manage a ninja village; there are very few people who possess both.

If we separate, things will be much better.

When are you leaving?

Natsume continued the massage, his hands now reaching the collarbone. "Before you leave, you can visit the Ninja Academy."

"I was planning to leave today."

Mei Terumi pondered for a moment and said, "But since you put it that way, I do need to find out more."

As she spoke, she frowned again.

This guy's hands are getting increasingly restless.

Mei Terumi was wearing an off-the-shoulder strapless dress.

It's so convenient.

"If you're free, come with me."

Mei Terumi grabbed his wrist and asked.

The two of them had already had a full schedule a few days ago, so she didn't have that idea for the time being.

What I'm looking forward to now is the Ninja Academy.

Seeing this, Natsume stopped making any further moves.

"Okay, then I'll introduce you to it."

"Thanks."

Mei Terumi stood up, her red lips moving closer to express her sincerity.

A few minutes later, the two left their residence and arrived at the ninja academy.

"So big?"

Mei Terumi was somewhat taken aback.

In her mind, the ninja academy in Konoha was not much different from that in Kirigakure.

But now it's at least ten times bigger.

She couldn't understand it.

After all, in her view, a large school is meaningless if there aren't enough students.

"Come with me."

Natsume didn't offer much explanation, saying that what he saw with his own eyes was more real.

He arranged for Terumi Mei to attend classes from elementary school all the way to university, according to her grade level.

At first, it was no different from the ninja academy we had before.

They teach the Three Body Techniques and various basic ninja knowledge.

But even in middle school and university, the surprise on Mei Terumi's face never disappeared.

She now finally understood what Natsume had said before.

The ninjas were divided into different roles to achieve greater efficiency.

If it were proposed by Sunagakure, Mei Terumi would definitely have some doubts.

However, the strength of Konoha Village has already proven the feasibility of this model.

"Could you provide me with more specific information?"

Mei Terumi looked up at Natsume, a hint of unease in her eyes.

To be honest, it was already very generous of us to let her visit.

But simply looking at things doesn't allow for a deep understanding of many things.

"Can."

Natsume didn't care.

In the ninja world, strength ultimately reigns supreme.

Unless Kirigakure produces an unparalleled powerhouse who surpasses Kaguya Otsutsuki.

But is that even possible?

Of course it is impossible.

A ninja's strength is largely determined by their bloodline.

Without a bloodline limit, the upper limit is limited to characters like Orochimaru or Jiraiya.

It's quite cruel.

Even if Natsume wanted to change it, he wouldn't know where to start.

After all, it's impossible to completely disable everyone's bloodline limit and put everyone on the same level.

After visiting the school and obtaining the information, Terumi Mei left satisfied.

When we arrived, we walked from Kirigakure.

Now that they're going back, Natsume wouldn't mind seeing them off.

The revelation of the Flying Thunder God Technique has caused great concern among the Hidden Mist Village ninjas, except for Mei Terumi.

Because this ninjutsu is simply too abnormal.

Especially since the user himself is invincible.

This means he can steal a house whenever he wants.

After seeing off the people from Kirigakure, Natsume arrived at the residence of the people from Sunagakure.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will also be setting off today.

"Lord Hokage."

Temari stood up and greeted him.

"I've come to see you off."

Natsume waved his hand and laughed, "So you don't have to walk anymore."

"Thanks."

Temari knew that he possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Natsume no longer needs to hide it.

Pointless.

"Lord Hokage."

Temari hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have thought through what we discussed before."

"What are your plans?"

Natsume knew she meant marriage.

I still want to choose you.

Temari said in a deep voice, her face hardening.

This is the best way.

She is willing to sacrifice herself for the future of Sunagakure.

"..."

Natsume never imagined that he would be buried while mining.

But since he'd already said that, he couldn't very well refuse.

"I'll talk to you in detail next time."

Natsume currently has many female confidantes, so he's not in a hurry to get Temari.

"Um."

Temari secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't actually want it to be that fast.
