Konoha: Starting from being adopted by Tsunade

"are you awake?"

Natsume held a bowl of porridge and pushed the door open.

Uchiha Mikoto, who was in a daze, suddenly became excited and quickly pulled up the sheet to cover her body.

Cover your ears and steal the bell.

Natsume smiled, put the porridge on the table, and said, "Get up and eat."

Smelling the aroma, Uchiha Mikoto's stomach suddenly rumbled.

She suddenly blushed in embarrassment.

She didn't eat last night, she didn't eat today, and she had consumed so much energy, she was already hungry.

I was focusing on the Mangekyou Sharingan before, so I forgot about it for the time being.

"You...you go out first."

Uchiha Mikoto's tone sounded quite weak.

It's that feeling of not being threatened, but having to ask for help.

Natsume stepped forward.

"Let...let me go."

Uchiha Mikoto immediately retreated, and when she reached the corner, she had no way to retreat, and she showed a pitiful look.

"What you said is questioning my character."

Natsume stretched out his hand, held her chin, looked around, and asked, "Who coerced whom last night? Have you forgotten?"

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned.

It seemed that she had indeed taken the initiative.

"I...I...that's..."

She hesitated, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Because she was reminded of what happened last night, her face turned pink to the base of her ears.

"I'm sorry...I'm...guilty."

Uchiha Mikoto apologized in a panic.

"If you're guilty, put on new clothes."

Natsume took out a black nun uniform and said, "It can alleviate your guilt."

He didn't tease her anymore, turned around and left, closing the door.

Uchiha Mikoto looked at the nun's uniform in confusion, but ultimately did not refuse.

Her face turned slightly red, and she turned around in circles a little unaccustomed.

Mainly wearing black suspenders for the first time.

The rest was fine.

Uchiha Mikoto glanced outside the door subconsciously. Natsume seemed to have left.

She picked up the bowl of white porridge and took a sip.

It tastes surprisingly good.

Compared with the white porridge I ate last night, it can be said that it is like heaven and earth.

Natsume went to say hello to Uzumaki Einai and then returned to the room.

Uchiha Mikoto ate all the porridge.

My lips are shiny and hydrated, not as dry as last night.

Natsume glanced at the black nun's uniform that wrapped her delicate body. It was very smooth and even better than expected.

"Do you still want it?"

He pointed at the bowl and said, "If you're not full, there's still more."

Uchiha Mikoto put her hands on her belly and nodded sheepishly.

Natsume immediately gave her two more bowls.

"That...I want to ask."

Uchiha Mikoto licked her lips, swallowed the porridge, and asked, "Why didn't I activate the Mangekyo Sharingan last night?"

"How can it be so simple?"

Natsume blinked, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "It's okay, the future is long, and one day I will open my eyes."

"..."

Uchiha Mikoto's body suddenly stiffened.

She had used up all her courage last night.

I thought the torture would end quickly, but I didn't expect it was just the beginning.

"There is nothing in this world that comes without hard work."

Natsume stretched out his hand, rubbed her head and said, "So work hard, Aunt Mikoto."

Uchiha Mikoto hesitated to speak, her red lips slightly opened, and finally did not answer and continued to drink porridge.

"You can go find Huinai from now on and ask her to help you train your pupil power."

Natsume stood up and said, "Your eye power has been forcibly improved now, but it's not very good for you."

"Um."

Uchiha Mikoto nodded.

She didn't quite understand, anyway, she did what Natsume said.

"Remember to return the flute to Tayuya."

Natsume said with a smile, "She is very angry after such a long time. You must not tell her the specific purpose."

Uchiha Mikoto suddenly turned as red as Steam Princess.

No place to be ashamed of.

I want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Natsume didn't stay any longer. He used the Flying Thunder God's Technique and returned home.

He changed into a clean set of clothes and headed to the Hokage Building.

Today is his first day at work after becoming Hokage's assistant.

But he had been late all morning.

Thanks to Shimura Danzo's previous example, he didn't come to the Hokage Building all year round. Whenever he came, he would quarrel with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Everyone is used to it.

Now that there is a new Hokage assistant, being late for work is a trivial matter and not worth making a fuss about.

Natsume entered his office.

After yesterday's cleaning, it looked like that.

He started working.

Although I don't know how Danzo Shimura works, he has been clearly arranged by Tsunade.

That is the so-called decision-making power.

The incident that will be handled initially by the Hokage Secretariat will be left to him for decision-making.

In the past this was the job of the Hokage and the Hokage's advisors.

But now the two Hokage advisors are dead, leaving Tsunade alone.

If it were Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would definitely not share his power.

Tsunade and Natsume are indifferent to each other and are not so open-minded.

Because of the assistance of the Hokage Secretariat, it was actually not as busy as imagined.

Natsume actually had only one thing to do, stamp it.

If you agree, cover it, if you disagree, push it back.

He was extremely efficient and had it all done in less than an hour.

"Send the document to the teacher."

Natsume put down the seal and gave instructions.

An ANBU ninja appeared immediately and took the file away.

After being okay for the time being, Natsume planned to visit Orochimaru.

This time it was as the assistant of Konoha Hokage.

He had mentioned to Tsunade about studying wood escape before.

But most people really can’t handle this kind of experiment.

Without a leader, there may be no results for decades.

In all of Konoha, the most suitable person is Orochimaru.

His scientific research capabilities have been tested countless times and are trustworthy.

This investigation of Shimura Danzo also involved Orochimaru.

According to the rules of Konoha Village, he can already be sent to the Pure Land to meet the Sage of Six Paths.

But his status is special and his influence is great.

The most important thing is that Tsunade can't do anything.

The Sannin have fought side by side since childhood, and their relationship is quite good.

It's not a big problem not to kill Orochimaru, but it's not okay to let him enjoy Konoha's resources in vain.

Natsume didn't care before because the Hokage was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Now the Hokage is Tsunade and belongs to his family.

In other words, Orochimaru was eating and drinking for free at his house.

What Natsume hates most is being prostituted for free.

This is absolutely intolerable.

Orochimaru must work hard.

Natsume left the Hokage Building and headed to Orochimaru's mansion.

When he reached the door, he already felt a lot of peeping eyes.

It's the snake from Longdi Cave.

"Go and inform Lord Orochimaru that Hokage Assistant Natsume wants to see him."

Natsume said casually and entered the hall.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected person.

Mitarashi red beans.

She was holding six skewers of three-color meatballs in her hands. When she saw Natsume, she was chewing them, her cheeks bulging.

"Natsume?"

She quickly swallowed the meatballs in her mouth, smiled and said hello, "It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"It's been a long time."

Natsume nodded, "The last time was three or four years ago, when we formed a team to carry out a mission deep into the Kumo Ninja camp."

"Do you want to eat?"

Mitarashi Anko asked as she took out a bunch of three-color meatballs.

"Need not."

Natsume waved her hand and warned, "Eating more will make you gain weight."

"It's okay, I won't gain weight."

Mitarashi Anko showed a rather confident smile and said, "I eat it every year, but I always maintain my weight."

Natsume secretly thought that this was clearly the effect of the curse seal.

When one day Orochimaru runs away with the bucket, you will be finished.

"Speaking of which, congratulations on becoming Hokage's assistant."

Mitarashi Anko said excitedly, "If I do something wrong in the future, please remember to protect me."

"Your teacher is Lord Orochimaru, he won't let anything happen to you."

Natsume paused and said, "But it's okay to cover you."

Although Orochimaru is cold, cunning and unhuman, he is still a good teacher.

It's really good for the rope tree and Mitarashi red beans.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, he did not train him as a disciple, but as a vessel.

"Great!"

Mitarashi Anko smiled broadly.

"Are you waiting for Orochimaru-sama?"

Although Natsume's position is higher than Orochimaru's, he is a little behind in seniority, so he is given an honorific title in front of outsiders.

"Yeah. But the teacher has something to do, so I don't know when he will come over."

Mitarai Anko's smile dimmed a little and she said, "I haven't seen the teacher for a long time. He has been very busy recently."

Busy is an excuse.

Natsume can probably understand Orochimaru's thoughts.

The main reason is that Mitarai Anko, his apprentice, is really incompatible with him.

Neither his talent nor his personality are what he likes.

But he did have a master-disciple relationship with her.

"Where's Xi Yan?"

Natsume thought of her two teammates.

Uchiha Itachi had defected, but Uzuki Yuugao had not.

"Not sure."

The expression on Mitarashi Anko's face froze slightly.

She really didn't know what Uozuki Xiyan was doing, but she knew that she had been following Orochimaru.

How enviable.

Mitarashi Anko was quite unwilling.

She is obviously Orochimaru's first apprentice.

Why aren't we getting the treatment we deserve?

At this moment, she seemed to change her face, showing an expression of surprise.

"Teacher, are you back?"

"Um."

Orochimaru's eyes fell on Natsume, and he didn't care about Mitarashi Anko anymore.

"I heard that you learned the Immortal Mode of Shigulin?"

Mitarashi Anko's smile suddenly froze.

Woohoo, teacher, look at me.

"lucky."

Natsume gave her a comforting look before answering Orochimaru's question.

“There is no such thing as luck in learning the immortal model.”

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, obviously becoming interested.

Because there are currently only two people in the ninja world who know the sage mode.

Aside from the mysterious masked man he met before, there were only Jiraiya and Natsume.

The former's sage mode is not yet complete.

Although Orochimaru has developed the Curse Seal of Heaven and Earth, there is still a gap compared with the Sage mode.

If Natsume allows him to study it, he may be able to gain different results.

"..."

Natsume could already clearly feel Orochimaru's gaze.

It's like a glue guy seeing the real Gundam.

excited.

"Lord Orochimaru, I came here today because I have something to ask you."

Natsume changed the subject and got down to business.

"What is it?"

Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly.

It’s just that his smile is colder.

But he had no intention of attacking Natsume.

First, it is difficult to fight.

The second is to offend Tsunade.

Unless he is absolutely sure, otherwise, he has no intention for the time being.

"Hongdou, please leave first."

Natsume turned around and said, "This is a secret related to Konoha."

Mitarai Anko was stunned for a moment, her expression a little aggrieved, but she didn't say anything.

She is a ninja, so she must obey orders.

Now Natsume is no longer the junior, but the Hokage's assistant.

After Mitarashi Anko left, Orochimaru's breath became a little colder.

I have to say that he still values ​​this apprentice quite highly.

"Lord Orochimaru, I hope you can preside over the wood escape experiment."

Natsume said neither humble nor arrogant.

"Doesn't Konoha already have Hashirama cell transplantation technology?"

Orochimaru frowned and asked.

"The teacher doesn't want to be transplanted. She wants to be awakened."

Natsume explained.

"Awakening?"

Orochimaru sneered and said, "Did Tsunade become naive after becoming Hokage?"

"no way?"

Natsume asked rhetorically.

"No chance."

Orochimaru did not explain, but issued an expulsion order, "Go back and tell Tsunade not to waste my time."

"As long as the probability is not zero, it is certainly possible."

Natsume smiled and said, "Lord Orochimaru, your cooperation with Danzo Shimura has been known to us."

"You threaten me?"

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, and the majestic murderous aura filled the entire hall.

"It's cooperation."

Natsume said with a normal expression, "Your experiment cannot be exposed to the light. You need someone to help you cover it up and provide you with resources."

"interesting."

Orochimaru suddenly laughed and asked, "It seems that Tsunade doesn't know what you are doing behind your back."

Another Danzo Shimura.

It's not that cooperation is impossible.

Some things are really difficult for him to handle.

"As a condition, you will no longer attack the ninjas and villagers of Konoha Village."

Natsume added, "But I can provide you with prisoners from Konoha Prison."

"so be it."

Orochimaru was reluctant to give up Konoha for the time being, so he didn't refuse.

As for the so-called Konoha Awakening Experiment, just treat it casually.

Anyway, it is normal for this kind of important research to have no results after several years of hard work.

"In order to ensure cooperation, I would like to send someone to study with you. What do you think?"

Natsume had an impromptu idea and thought of Kabuto Yakushi.

how to say?

His best teacher was of course Orochimaru.

If Kabuto Yakushi can learn something, that would be the best.

If you can't learn it, you can only take other methods.

Such as Huangquanjin or other gods.

Orochimaru nodded, not paying attention at all.

“A pleasure to work with.”

Natsume bowed slightly and turned to leave.

"teacher."

Mitarashi Anko, who was outside the door, immediately ran into the hall.

"Are you okay?"

Orochimaru glanced at her and said, "If it's okay, just go back."

"Teacher, these are the three-color meatballs I bought for you."

Mitarai Anko handed him all the remaining five skewers of three-color meatballs.

Orochimaru was silent for two seconds, stretched out his long and slender tongue, and swallowed the wooden skewer as well.

Although it was quite scary, Mitarai Anko still showed a happy expression.

Konoha Orphanage.

Kabuto Yakushi did not conduct any experiments today.

Because he's stuck.

As the things Natsume handed him became more and more complex, his knowledge reserve was obviously a little insufficient.

Although he has acquired many of Orochimaru's techniques, things on paper are ultimately dead.

The pharmacist is smart, but he can't learn it without a teacher.

Tsunade is indeed a good teacher.

However, there are specialties in the art industry.

She and Orochimaru were different in many ways.

"pocket."

Natsume climbed up to the roof and sat next to him.

"Where are my men?"

Yakushi Kabuto glanced at him and said, "One Honono fruit alone is simply not enough."

It is worth mentioning that Honoka does have a good level of scientific research.

It's just one person, not two people.

He is currently working on two main projects.

One, the atavistic Otsutsuki Chakra.

Second, Kaguya Kimimaro’s blood stain disease.

None of it is easy.

"Let's not talk about my subordinates for now."

Natsume laughed and quickly changed the topic, "I found a teacher for you, Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru?"

Kabuto Yakushi showed his surprise and asked, "How could he agree?"

"Actually, I didn't agree."

Natsume briefly talked about his cooperation with Orochimaru, "Anyway, you should learn as much knowledge as possible."

If that doesn't work, use the Mangekyou Sharingan, lock him in a small dark room, and then let him out after teaching everything.

"Um."

Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses, a hint of excitement flashed across his face.

It is naturally a good thing to see Orochimaru's skills.

"come on."

Natsume patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will give you some good things after a while."

He was talking about Shennong.

Whether it's his forbidden medical skills or his knowledge, they are all good things.

It should be helpful to Yakushi Kabuto.

As for safety issues, Natsume doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

He left a token exchanged for destiny points, so that if something happens, he can arrive in time.

In addition, there is the issue of Yakushi Kabuto's loyalty.

how to say?

Although Orochimaru is indeed charming, he doesn't reach the level of a succubus.

And Natsume can be verified through the Holy Ring of Destiny.

[Because of your actions, Yakushi Kabuto's fate has changed, and you have gained thirty-seven fate points. 】

After returning to the Hokage Building, Natsume heard the beep.

As he expected, the destiny value was not particularly high.

This also means that Kabuto Yakushi did not rebel.

He just learned knowledge from Orochimaru.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Natsume put down the information and raised his head.

It was Yuhi Kurenai who came in, wearing a red robe that seemed to be wrapped in bandages.

"Natsume-sama."

After bowing slightly, she said, "Hokage-sama wants to see you."

"Sister Hong, you're welcome, just call me Natsume."

Natsume was a little uncomfortable with this title.

He calls Kurenai sister because Yuhi Kurenai and Shizune are the same generation.

It would be too much to call her aunt.

After all, she is not married yet.

"If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

Yuhi Hong's originally serious face showed a smile and said, "But only if there is no third person present."

She is a more disciplined ninja.

It's not a big deal if you shout in private.

But if someone knows about it, some unnecessary trouble may arise.

The Yuhi family is just a small ninja clan.

Don't get too carried away.

"Can."

Natsume stood up with a smile and said, "Then I'll go see the teacher first."

Five thousand words.
