Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 57 Feeding Cute Animals Mini-Game

A crisis was averted thanks to Natsume's efforts.

Unfortunately, nobody knows.

He kept his achievements and fame hidden.

Hinata Hyuga's birthday party came to an end because of Satsuma Yoru's actions.

The guests left one by one.

In this situation, continuing to "play the music and dance" is truly ungrateful.

Only the drunken Tsunade was clueless.

"The drinks are here! Why aren't you all drinking?"

"Jingyin, let's walk the teacher home together."

Natsume sighed, and with one person supporting the other, they left the Hyuga residence.

Yakushi Kabuto returned to the orphanage to rest.

Back home, Natsume placed Tsunade on the bed and said, "Shizune-nee, please help the teacher change her clothes."

He did want to switch, but to avoid Jingyin questioning her existence, he decided to leave her to take care of her.

Natsume returned to his room and communicated with the slug to share his vision.

He wanted to bring food to Hinata Hyuga, but he couldn't let anyone see him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

A few seconds later, he connected with the slug's vision.

It's a bit dark.

He glanced around and spotted the slug in the closet.

Hinata Hyuga did not reveal that he had been there that night.

Natsume peered out through the gap in the wardrobe.

The scene that comes into view is Rinka Hyuga holding Hinata Hyuga.

The woman's face was filled with lingering fear; she had almost, just a hair's breadth away, from never seeing her daughter again.

"It probably won't end anytime soon."

Natsume disconnected the visual sharing and went straight out to the barbecue restaurant.

"Boss, open the door!"

"Who is it? So late at night."

The shop owner opened the door, looking annoyed, and said, "I'm not selling anymore, get out of here!"

"One hundred thousand taels."

Natsume raised his index finger and said, "Give me enough grilled meat for ten people."

"Oh, guest, please come in, please come in!"

The owner immediately put on a Sichuan opera face-changing act, becoming as enthusiastic as if he were seeing a close brother, "Please wait a moment, I'll start cooking for you right away!"

Natsume smiled. As expected, money is the most useful tool.

An hour later, he left the barbecue restaurant carrying ten plastic bags in his hands.

"Come again next time!"

The boss called out with a smile.

When Natsume returned home, he first summoned the second slug and then connected it to the vision of the first slug.

Hinata Hinata is now alone in the room, as Rinka Hinata has already left.

Reverse psychic abilities!

He disappeared from the room.

Summoning Jutsu is the technique by which ninjas summon summoned beasts.

The Reverse Summoning Technique involves summoning ninjas from summoned beasts.

However, this ninjutsu has extremely limited limitations; ordinary summoned beasts simply cannot learn it.

Even the three holy lands are few and far between.

However, all the slugs in Shikkotsu Forest are one entity, namely the Slug Immortal.

It certainly can.

A puff of smoke flashed by.

Natsume appears in Hinata Hyuga's room.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed, her little head nodding off.

She should have gone to sleep already, but because of Natsume's words, she kept waiting.

"So good."

Natsume opened the plastic bag, took out a skewer of grilled meat, and held it in front of Hinata's nose.

I thought I would be startled awake, but to my surprise, I wasn't.

Hinata licked her lips in her sleep; the fragrance was so strong it seemed real.

Saliva is secreted from the salivary glands and flows down, forming a stringy texture.

Natsume couldn't help but smile.

What an adorable creature!

Hinata.

After Natsume called out a few times, Hinata Hyuga woke up.

Looking at the roasted meat in front of her, she realized that what she had just experienced was not a dream, but reality.

"Come and eat."

Natsume reached out and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

Hinata Hyuga realized what was happening and immediately started smoking, transforming into Steam Princess.

It was both embarrassing and shameful.

For a lady who upholds elegance, being seen drooling in her sleep is simply too embarrassing.

Natsume didn't care; he really enjoyed raising a steampunk princess.

While he was playing a feeding game, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sleeping, was woken up by the Anbu.

"What did you say?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been a little dazed, immediately snapped out of it.

"The Hyuga clan leader, along with Satsuma Yoru and twelve other Cloud Ninja, is waiting for you at the Hokage Building."

The ANBU ninja repeated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Hiashi Hyuga, you big-eyed guy with thick eyebrows, you've also betrayed Konoha?

By capturing the Cloud Village envoy group, are you trying to start a war right now?

Is it because they didn't get any credit in the last war and want to try again?

In just a few seconds, Hiruzen Sarutobi's brilliant mind worked at lightning speed.

But he quickly dismissed the speculation.

Playing around is one thing, but Hiashi Hyuga would never joke about war.

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed his clothes and rushed to the Hokage's office.

He glanced at Satsuma and the others, and asked, "Hiashi, what happened?"

Hiashi Hyuga immediately recounted what had happened.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.

Why did this kind of setback occur at such a crucial moment in the peace talks?

This is troublesome.

At that moment, he wasn't thinking about Hinata Hyuga's safety, but about the peace of Konoha Village.

After fighting for so long, we can't continue; we need to rest and recuperate.

However, the Hyuga clan cannot be ignored either.

"Satsuma, is this the sincerity of your Hidden Cloud Village?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face showing displeasure, questioned him.

"This matter was due to my momentary lapse of judgment, and has nothing to do with the Hidden Cloud Village."

Samoya knew she was in the wrong and chose to take the blame.

"But you are a ninja from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village), how can you escape responsibility?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't believe his nonsense. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Your village must give Konoha an explanation!"

"In this peace negotiation, our Hidden Cloud Village is willing to make concessions and agree to the Hidden Leaf Village's conditions. What does the Hokage think?"

Before Satsuma arrived, he had already discussed with the Fourth Raikage how to deal with the situation if they were captured.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was immediately tempted. The conditions offered by Konoha Village were quite good and could be a great way to recover his losses.

Moreover, the more victories he achieves in the peace talks, the more his reputation and status will be solidified.

He had thought that the Hidden Cloud Village wouldn't agree, after all, he had been haggling over the price for several days.

As expected, Konoha is blessed by the heavens.

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly and said, "Hiashi, Hinata is not injured, and now that Kumogakure has offered compensation, let's leave it at that."

Hiashi Hyuga was filled with questions.

What does it mean that the matter can end here as long as Hinata isn't injured?

Does someone have to die for something to be considered serious?

At this moment, Hiashi Hyuga felt somewhat disheartened.

He believed that the Hyuga clan had been diligent and loyal since following Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But I never expected to be treated like this.

"Let's do as the Hokage says."

Hiashi Hyuga turned and left, feeling disheartened.

"Please rise."

Hiruzen Sarutobi warned, "Satsuma Yoru, I don't want to see the same thing happen a second time."

"Lord Hokage, I will not do it again."

Samoya adopted a very humble attitude, saying, "We'll leave immediately after signing the contract tomorrow."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.

Although it created a rift in Hiashi Hyuga's heart, it was all worth it in exchange for such generous peace terms.

At worst, we can just take better care of the Hyuga clan in the future.

With Hyuga Hiashi's wisdom, he should understand that the Hokage must have a broad perspective and not let the safety of the entire Konoha be affected by the actions of a single ninja clan.
