Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 59 Having a wife makes one forget one's mother

The fates of Naruto Uzumaki and Kurama, also known as the Nine-Tails, have changed.

Natsume understands.

But what is the reason for Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake?

Since both of them are here, where is Uchiha Sasuke?

After a moment of contemplation, Natsume made a guess.

Naruto Uzumaki became a super genius, so naturally he didn't repeat a year and graduated smoothly.

In that case, his teammates and teachers might change.

In other words, Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake will miss out on him.

But Sasuke Uchiha did not.

It truly is a tragic love story that has dragged on for thousands of years.

This cannot separate you.

Are Asura and Indra male hormones?

cough cough.

Natsume recalled a sentence he had read in his previous life.

If Uchiha Sasuke were a woman, there would be no Sakura Haruno and Hinata Hyuga.

Naruto Uzumaki happily left with the grilled meat.

Natsume and Ena Uzumaki returned to Tanabata Town.

After lunch, he went to cultivate.

Wood Release, Water Release, and Earth Release.

Natsume learned a lot.

How can a man who doesn't work hard get promoted, get a raise, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, become the future CEO of Konoha, and reach the pinnacle of life?

Late at night, he used the Reverse Summoning Technique to have an affair—oops, I misspoke—to secretly deliver food to Hinata Hyuga.

"Guess who I am?"

Natsume reached out and covered Hinata Hyuga's eyes, asking in a playful tone.

"Yes...yes..."

Hinata Hyuga stammered, unable to say her full name.

Natsume could already feel his palms rapidly heating up.

It looked like steam would rise from it at any moment.

Natsume stopped teasing her and took out today's midnight snack.

Ichiraku Ramen.

He remembered that in the original work, Hinata Hyuga ate more than forty bowls in one go, making Choji Akimichi question his life.

But she's still young, so her appetite shouldn't be that big yet. That's why I brought ten bowls this time.

Hinata Hyuga's eyes lit up uncontrollably when she saw ramen, much like a squirrel's reaction to a pinecone.

Here, chopsticks.

Natsume sat opposite her, smiling, and said, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

"Thanks."

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head and started eating.

Have you been going out recently?

Natsume was worried that she would be bullied by the bratty kids again.

Hinata Hyuga took a slurp, swallowed the ramen in her mouth, shook her head, and said, "Father has been teaching me boxing, he doesn't have time."

She shuddered as she said this.

Hiashi Hyuga's angry and disappointed expression terrified her.

But she couldn't change her personality.

At the same time, she also sensed that Hiashi Hyuga had increased the amount of training, as if he was quite eager.

Natsume frowned.

Like Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga is a representative figure of the Hawk father.

He was overly strict in his efforts to make his children stronger.

However, being overly strict doesn't have much effect.

Hinata Hyuga developed this personality trait, which is actually related to her fear of Hiashi Hyuga.

Natsume doesn't have a solution in the short term.

We can only wait and see if feeding Hinata Hyuga will cause any changes.

After all, such a large appetite is quite unusual for the Hyuga clan.

Unlike the other fat members of the Akimichi clan, she doesn't gain weight.

After much thought, Natsume could only conclude that it was due to bloodline.

"I'll take you out to play in a couple of days."

"Really?"

Hinata Hyuga immediately became happy.

She was being scolded repeatedly by Hiashi Hyuga every day, and she felt that if this continued, she would probably go crazy.

It would be good to be able to go out and keep watch.

And it would be even better if it were with Natsume.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Natsume smiled and said, "Let's continue eating noodles."

Hinata Hyuga nodded.

Half an hour later, all ten bowls of ramen had disappeared.

Natsume glanced at her lower abdomen subconsciously, but there was no change, as if her stomach was a dimensional bag.

"Are you full?"

"Um."

Hinata Hyuga nodded hesitantly.

"You're being naughty."

Natsume tapped her forehead with his index finger. "Tell me the truth, or rather, how many more bowls can you eat?"

Hinata Hyuga's face turned bright red again, and she held up one finger.

"bowl?"

Natsume raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Ten...ten bowls."

Hinata Hyuga whispered.

"..."

Only two words remained in Natsume's mind: admiration!

Luckily, he owns the Gunma Casino and Gunma Bank; otherwise, he couldn't afford to support them.

"Okay, I'll bring you twenty bowls of ramen tomorrow night."

Natsume said earnestly, "You must eat your fill, otherwise you won't have any energy."

Hinata Hyuga nodded obediently.

"Okay, I won't disturb your sleep."

Natsume got up, took the trash with him, and left her a slug.

The technique of reversing the summoning of spirit beasts is used.

He returned to his room and fell asleep.

But what he didn't know was that there was a wicked woman committing crimes outside the door.

Tsunade.

She couldn't sleep and wanted to check on Natsume, but found he wasn't there.

After a moment of contemplation, she summoned the slug, understood the cause and effect, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Knew it.

Natsume has a new little girl.

Tsunade should have been happy, but she just couldn't feel happy.

She returned to her room and couldn't sleep for a long time.

Ultimately, considering various factors, she felt it was time to sever her overly close relationship with Natsume and remain either mother and son or teacher and student.

the next day.

"Natsume, Rinka said she's planning to treat you to a meal to thank you for your help. Hinata will be there too."

Tsunade said calmly.

"Oh?"

Natsume thought to himself, "What a coincidence."

He had originally planned to invite Hinata out to play through Rinka Hinata.

I never expected to go from being proactive to being reactive.

"Can."

Natsume nodded.

Tsunade noticed his change in mood and felt a little sad.

He's forgotten his mother now that he has a wife.

She silently told herself that she shouldn't be sad, that she should be happy, because she knew she couldn't be with him until the end.

"There's one more thing."

Tsunade quickly changed the subject, saying, "With your and Kabuto's strength, you're capable enough to participate in the Chunin Exams, so I've registered you."

Natsume was taken aback; he hadn't expected this at all.

But this is a good thing.

Becoming a Chunin elevates one's status, and consequently, the rewards also increase.

The Chunin Exams in the original work were the Joint Chunin Exams.

The most classic one was hosted by Konoha Village, which invited many ninja villages such as Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Kusagakure to participate.

Of course, the Chunin Exams can also be held separately by the village.

As long as the Hokage approves.

Because sometimes there might only be a few applications for Chunin in a year.

Organizing a joint Chunin Exam seems far too extravagant.

But there's no need to make them wait a year or two, so we can just do it internally.

"Since Shizune is already a Chunin, you need to find another teammate."

Tsunade glanced at Shizune, then looked at him again and asked, "Do you have someone in mind? If not, I'll find you one."

"Does Inuzuka Hana have any teammates? She's my classmate, so we're quite familiar with each other."

After thinking it over, Natsume could only think of Inuzuka Hana, a supporting character, as someone who might be able to gain Fate Points.

"Let me ask."

Tsunade nodded.

Natsume is a combat ninja, and Kabuto is a medical ninja; they are indeed lacking a sensory ninja.

Meanwhile, at Mount Myoboku.

Jiraiya looked around, a hint of nostalgia on his face.

Of the three legendary ninjas, his ninjutsu talent was actually the worst.

Leaving Tsunade aside, her matches with Orochimaru have always ended in his defeat.

This situation changed after he unexpectedly entered Mount Myoboku.

He mastered Sage Mode and Sage Arts, causing his combat power to skyrocket. Even Orochimaru might not be able to defeat him.

Because of this kindness, Jiraiya held Mount Myōboku in high esteem, especially the Toad Sage.

Its words are always obeyed.

"It's been a long time since I've been back."

Jiraiya looked on with a sigh.

After learning of the existence of the Child of Prophecy from the Toad Sage, he wandered the ninja world, gathering information and inspiration.

So far, he has narrowed it down to two candidates.

Minato Namikaze and Nagato.

The former has already sacrificed himself, so it is not.

It's possible that the latter possesses the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths and has exceptional talent.

The only pity is that he wasn't a Konoha ninja.
