Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 53 Tsunade's Weakness

Tsunade rested her head on Natsume's lap and then closed her eyes.

"Let's begin."

After informing her, Natsume reached out and brushed Tsunade's bangs aside before beginning the massage.

He actually doesn't know anything about massage.

But it's nothing more than pinching and kneading.

He slowly pressed Tsunade's forehead in a fixed rhythm.

A few minutes later, Tsunade's body relaxed.

She was already a little tired, and with the gentle massage, her mind calmed down, and she fell asleep.

Natsume quickly moved his gaze to her face.

It has a very fleshy feel.

But not fat.

A woman with a perfect figure won't feel uncomfortable to the touch.

Suddenly, Tsunade turned to face him.

Natsume suddenly found it difficult to operate.

He pondered for a moment, looked at her delicate and exquisite earlobe, leaned down, and blew a breath on it.

In a previous life, it was called ASMR.

Natsume sometimes listens to it, but it doesn't cure his insomnia at all; it only makes him more excited.

It was still quite comfortable, though.

It just lacks some tools to assist it.

For example, cotton swabs or something.

"don't want!"

Tsunade shuddered and woke up, opening her eyes to see a bewildered Natsume.

"Ears don't need a massage."

Her face flushed slightly as she spoke softly.

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

Speaking so softly, and still trying to open... wait, this isn't Tsunade's personality.

Oh, I see.

Sensitive points.

If it were a game, like Sekiro, a red dot should appear at this moment.

Natsume silently memorized it, nodded, and said, "I understand."

Tsunade closed her eyes again.

Not long after, rhythmic breathing could be heard.

Natsume enjoyed the smooth, delicate touch until his hands were too tired, at which point he stopped massaging.

"I……"

Just as Shizune was about to speak, she saw Tsunade sleeping.

A master and his apprentice should act like a master and his apprentice.

The scene before them made it impossible to tell that the two were master and apprentice.

But considering Tsunade and Natsume's usual behavior, it seems quite reasonable.

Silently slipped into the kitchen.

Natsume continued to gently stroke Tsunade's hair.

This is revenge.

He had been patted on the head countless times.

Finally, there was an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

When it was time to eat, Tsunade woke up.

She slept quite well.

In fact, after her treatment for hemophobia ended, she returned to sleeping alone and would occasionally suffer from insomnia because she was not used to it.

Natsume stood up, but because he had been in the same position for almost an afternoon, his legs were sore and numb, and he fell backward.

Tsunade quickly extended her right arm to support him.

But an embarrassing thing happened the next second.

As Natsume fell, he instinctively tried to grab something.

As a result, they climbed to the summit.

Tsunade blushed instantly, loosened her grip, and let Natsume fall onto the sofa.

"Come and eat."

She left behind four words and then disappeared.

Natsume glanced at his left hand.

I swear, it really was an accident.

Next comes eating, cultivating, and sleeping.

Natsume drifted off to sleep without any problems.

But Tsunade was not; she was in excellent spirits and couldn't sleep at all.

After a long while, she got up and crept to Natsume's door.

The door was closed, but not locked.

Using her superb stealth skills, Tsunade arrived at the bedside without alerting Natsume.

Natsume was sleeping soundly, his little face quite peaceful.

Combined with his appearance, Tsunade saw him as a fragile piece of porcelain.

A strange feeling welled up in her heart.

Tsunade was somewhat confused.

She knew that keeping her distance was the right thing to do, but she couldn't control her own thoughts.

When suppressed to the extreme, it will explode at some point.

Tsunade sighed softly, stood there for a moment, did nothing, and then turned and left.

After calming down, the long night passed quickly.

the next day.

A knock came at the door.

"Lady Tsunade, is Natsume home?"

When Uchiha Shisui saw that it was Tsunade who opened the door, he asked a question.

"Shisui, what do you want to see him about?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow; she had no prejudice against the Uchiha clan.

But Natsume should avoid getting too close to them.

Yes, that's a common trait among parents all over the world.

I'd like to treat him to a meal to express my gratitude.

Uchiha Shisui sensed Tsunade's subtle wariness, but he found it difficult to understand.

"I'll ask him."

Tsunade thought about it and ultimately did not refuse.

She turned and went into the study.

"Shisui said he'd like to treat you to dinner as a thank you. Would you like to go?"

"grateful?"

Natsume now understands what Uchiha Shisui said in the Hokage's office yesterday.

It was because he stopped Orochimaru.

"Go."

Natsume agreed.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a barbecue restaurant with Uchiha Shisui.

Itachi Uchiha was also there; he had already ordered the food.

"This meal is mainly to thank you for your help; otherwise, I might have lost my eyesight."

Uchiha Shisui picked up his glass and said, "Since I'm not an adult, I'll have juice."

The three of them clinked glasses.

"I've read your article on the Will of Fire."

After drinking it all in one gulp, Uchiha Shisui continued, "It's rare to meet someone who shares such similar ideals. I think we can become friends."

Good guy!

They repay kindness with enmity.

Who doesn't know that the Uchiha clan's friends are the most dangerous?

Who knows, one day it might become a sacrificial offering to those who have gained enlightenment.

Natsume smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "We can discuss this."

All three of them enjoyed the meal very much.

Although Natsume gained the temporary trust of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, his life remained largely unchanged.

Another week has passed.

The messenger from Kumogakure arrived.

To show his sincerity, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally led the various ninja clans to receive him.

The reception hall of the Hokage Building.

"Why isn't Hiashi here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced around and noticed that the Hyuga clan was missing, so he asked a question.

"The Hyuga clan head said that he is unable to leave temporarily due to preparations for Hinata Hyuga's third birthday."

The Hokage's bodyguard behind him answered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.

This is an expression of dissatisfaction.

In previous media coverage, Tsunade and Fugaku Uchiha were portrayed as the biggest winners, while the Hyuga clan was not mentioned at all.

He took a puff of his pipe and said, "It's alright if you don't come."

The Hyuga clan has always been staunch supporters of the Naruto series.

They'll help whoever wins.

This is also why they have stood firm.

Despite their dissatisfaction, they remained loyal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't think much of Hiashi Hyuga's little actions.

The compensation will be next time.

Not long after, the delegation from Kumogakure entered the hall, consisting of twelve people.

The leader of the Jonin was named Satsuma Yoru.

While the two sides were engaged in a heated debate over the terms, Natsume received an invitation.

It comes from the Hyuga clan and was written by Hyuga Hiashi himself, showing his sincerity.

They were invited to Hinata Hyuga's birthday party.

Natsume, of course, wouldn't miss it.

The envoy from Kumogakure has arrived, and that event is about to take place.

Hinata Hyuga kidnapping case.

Fate is beckoning.

It was not only a turning point in her fate, but also a turning point in the fates of Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Neji.

Saving them might trigger a conflict between the main family and the branch family, allowing you to gain more Fate Points.

However, the existence of a caged bird is always a shackle.

No matter how much trouble they cause, they can't escape being controlled after splitting up the family.

A new week, a new round of recommendations begins! Stay tuned, everyone! Feel free to vote with your recommendation tickets.
