Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 67 I will strike in Gundam form

"Karin, don't move around."

Natsume reached out and pressed his hand against her abdomen, and chakra surged into her.

After a moment, he nodded.

As expected of the Uzumaki clan, he has far more chakra than his peers.

Judging from the original work, Karin has good talent.

Even without guidance, one can use Kagura's Mind's Eye and the Vajra Lock.

It has to be said that following Uchiha Sasuke was truly a terrible misfortune.

Natsume remembers that Karin also knows the Palm Healing Technique.

In other words, she is a hybrid ninja.

He is skilled in investigation, medical treatment, and sealing.

With proper guidance, becoming an elite among Jonin shouldn't be a problem.

After Natsume finished explaining, Karin sat down and began refining chakra.

He nodded, turned around, opened the door to Uzumaki Ena's room, and glanced inside.

She is cultivating the Yin Seal.

He was delighted to see all the different scenery.

As the ancients said, "Beauty is food for the eyes," and they were right.

Today was supposed to be the second stage of the Chunin Exams.

However, due to Sasuke Uchiha's disappearance, it was forced to be postponed.

Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura have not made any major moves so far.

However, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha never rested and searched everywhere for people.

Natsume entered the room.

He looked down and could see Ena Uzumaki's lips with a pale pink sheen and her fair skin.

Perhaps because of the cold, her body was tense and her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Natsume's eyes darted around, and he reached out to embrace her slender, soft waist, and the two hugged each other.

He immediately felt an astonishing heat.

Uzumaki Ena opened her eyes, her face flushed, but she didn't push him away. She looked at him with a gentle gaze.

After a moment, Natsume patted her head and said, "It's cold, go change your clothes."

He took a few steps back, but did not leave.

Under his gaze, Uzumaki Ena changed her clothes.

"Can I go without socks?"

Natsume stroked his chin and spoke.

Uzumaki Ena immediately took off her socks, revealing her flawless calves and perfectly arched bare feet.

Each toe is round and pink, like a crescent-shaped almond.

Hehe, it's small and smells good.

In comparison, Tsunade appears slightly chubby.

But they are all perfect.

"Brother, I did it!"

Karin's voice startled the two people in the room.

Natsume didn't react much.

But Uzumaki Ena suddenly became as red as a steampunk princess.

He raised an eyebrow, as if he had discovered a good way to play.

Natsume opened the room.

Karin exclaimed excitedly, "I can now refine chakra!"

"good."

Natsume stroked her red hair and said, "It seems you really have the talent to be a ninja. Keep up the good work!"

"I will!"

Karin clenched her fists. "If anyone dares to bully my brother from now on, I'll punch them to death."

Hey, you haven't memorized a single thing from the Analects that I told you to study.

Natsume pinched her cheek, turned his head, and said, "Ena, you watch over her. I have to go out for a bit."

The Fate Ring told him that Orochimaru had already begun his operation, inviting Itachi Uchiha to meet him in the Forest of Death.

He turned and left quickly.

After leaving Konoha Village, he used the Transformation Jutsu to transform into the face he had used in his previous deal with Orochimaru.

This time, I'm using my real body.

the reason is simple.

strength.

He can now exchange for a temporary Sage Body and directly obtain a Senju Hashirama trial card.

Not afraid of Orochimaru, they were naturally not afraid of him discovering their identities.

A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence.

Natsume knew that Orochimaru had always suspected him.

After all, he always used a wooden clone, and when they met and traded, they would each create illusions to conceal their whereabouts.

It's hard to believe that this was a powerful ninja.

But now, let's try it and see.

The Forest of Death.

Orochimaru didn't have to wait long before he met Uchiha Itachi.

"teacher."

Although they had fallen out in private, Itachi Uchiha still maintained politeness on the surface.

After all, Orochimaru's status is too high.

If he tries to cause trouble, the rift between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village could widen further.

"You should have seen Yugao in her cursed seal form before. Now that you're participating in the Chunin Exams, your teacher is also preparing to give you one, which can greatly enhance your strength."

Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes fixed on his neck, as if he were about to bite down and plant a curse mark on him at any moment.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Without a second thought, Itachi Uchiha said, "The Chunin Exams are not difficult for me; I don't need the Cursed Seal."

"You don't need it for the Chunin Exams, but you'll need it someday."

Orochimaru was not surprised by his answer, "I gave Yugao the Earth Curse Mark, but I gave you the Heaven Curse Mark. Even if you are a genius among geniuses, the effect on you will still be very significant."

"Sorry, I refuse."

Itachi Uchiha answered again.

Since he had already witnessed Orochimaru controlling Uzuki Yugao through the cursed seal, there was no way he would offer himself up.

What's the point of increasing your strength if you lose control of your body?

Uzuki Yugao had no power or influence, so she naturally had no right to refuse Orochimaru.

But he is the son of the Uchiha clan chief.

"What a pity."

Orochimaru looked at him with a sinister smile, "Then I have no choice but to give this Heavenly Curse Seal to Sasuke."

"What did you say?! Where's Sasuke?!"

Itachi Uchiha's calm expression was immediately shattered, his eyes flashed red, and his three-tomoe Sharingan was subconsciously activated.

The Konoha Police Department, the Anbu, and the Root—the three major organizations—searched all night but found no clues whatsoever.

I was blinded by emotions before, but now that I think about it, there was clearly a mole inside.

Orochimaru, completely unfazed by his murderous intent, asked, "Since you love Sasuke so much, would you be willing to place the Cursed Seal of Heaven on him?"

While the Heavenly Curse Seal can increase strength, it can also turn people into vessels for its resurrection.

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment.

Don't listen to him!

As the sound rang out, Uchiha Shisui stood in front of Uchiha Itachi.

Orochimaru was not surprised at all.

He had actually sensed it beforehand.

"Oh, don't you want to see Sasuke again?"

Orochimaru gave a wicked smile. "He's your little brother, you know."

Itachi Uchiha once again revealed a murderous expression.

Orochimaru has successfully crossed his bottom line.

"Itachi, leave it to me."

Uchiha Shisui patted him on the shoulder, took a few steps forward, and questioned, "Orochimaru-sama, you have seriously violated the rules of Konoha. Aren't you afraid of the Hokage's punishment?"

"madness."

Orochimaru's face showed a hint of mockery, "You have the surname Uchiha, yet you believe in the Will of Fire. You will only drag the Uchiha clan into the abyss."

"Impossible! Lord Hokage would never allow such a thing to happen!"

Uchiha Shisui's face showed anger.

Since we can't reach an agreement, there's only one solution now.

Farewell God.

Uchiha Shisui's eyes were both Kotoamatsukami.

However, there are subtle differences.

One is permanent, with a cooling time of up to decades.

One is continuous with a short cooldown time, but it will automatically deactivate if it is out of control.

Uchiha Shisui intended to leave the permanent Kotoamatsukami to Uchiha Fugaku, so he gave Orochimaru the continuous Kotoamatsukami.

All we need to do is rescue Sasuke.

"What are you doing here? Don't you know the Chunin Exams have been postponed?"

Danzo Shimura makes a dazzling appearance.

Behind him were eight Root Jonin.

"Danzo, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Orochimaru said coldly, "Make your root leave."

"This is the Chunin Exams venue. As the person in charge, I naturally won't allow you to cause trouble."

Danzo Shimura slowly walked to the middle of them, turned around and asked, "Shisui, what happened?"

Uchiha Shisui hesitated.

He didn't know much about Danzo Shimura.

According to the original work, he would trust him.

But having learned from Orochimaru's example, he currently only trusts Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In the instant he was thinking, Danzo Shimura unwrapped his right arm, which was covered in bandages.

Everyone thought his right arm was disabled and could no longer move.

But only he and Orochimaru knew that his right arm had been restored to normal through Hashirama's cells and that he could use Wood Release.

Wood Release: Explosive Spear Tree!

Danzo Shimura created a giant tree from his right arm, and countless branches transformed into spears that attacked Shisui Uchiha.

Intelligence is life.

Despite being caught off guard, Uchiha Shisui did not completely evade the attack.

But Danzo Shimura made a fatal mistake.

In the original work, Uchiha Shisui self-destructed Kotoamatsukami, so his attack was aimed at the eyes.

He doesn't know about the Mangekyou Sharingan, so he wants to kill him.

"Brother Zhishui!"

Itachi Uchiha wore an expression of pain and despair, his eyes flashing red.

However, he did not awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Because he is too young and does not have a sufficient physical foundation.

It's like how Sasuke Uchiha only awakened his Sharingan after his entire family died.

Just as Shimura Danzo was overjoyed, an enormous, skeletal green giant soared into the sky.

The power, as strong as a demon or god, shook everyone present.

Susanoo!

I will be deployed in Gundam form.

Not far away, Jiraiya suddenly stood up.

What a great evil!

Even at this distance, he could still feel that cold and terrifying aura.

It's definitely not something normal.

Uchiha Shisui's eyes were no longer magatama, but rather the shape of four-bladed shuriken.

Jiraiya remembered the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

They look so alike, so incredibly alike.

He was almost certain that the special eye mentioned in the prophecy referred to the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The main problem is that this force is too frightening.

Of course, he also noticed Shimura Danzo's Wood Release.

He frowned as he recalled the Wood Release experiments that Konoha Village had conducted in its early years.

But the most urgent matter is still Uchiha Shisui.

Regardless of whether he is the one prophesied to destroy Mount Myōboku, he cannot be allowed to leave Konoha Village.

On the other side, Natsume was somewhat sentimental.

It's really lively.

He hadn't expected Jiraiya to appear here.

Is the Great Toad Sage's prediction really that accurate?

They can even know about such important events in advance.

For a moment, he was curious about what kind of prophecy it was.

However, with Jiraiya around, it's not a big problem.

I am invincible, do as you please.

Orochimaru!

Danzo Shimura roared in fury, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"

If I had known beforehand, I would have definitely aimed for his eyes during that sneak attack.

Orochimaru certainly wouldn't want him to get the Mangekyou Sharingan.

All he wanted was to drag Danzo Shimura into the scheme and have him deceive Hiruzen Sarutobi together.

If all else fails, he'll just grab the bucket and run away.

Of course, the prerequisite is to obtain Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Now it's his turn to shine.

The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique!

Amidst the smoke, a monster that was in no way inferior to Susanoo appeared.

It is entirely white and has eight heads.

Shimura Danzo's eyes widened immediately.

Orochimaru actually learned this forbidden technique?
