Naruto: Off the Rails from Tsunade’s Lap Pillow!

In the conference room of the Hokage Building.

Hiashi Hyuga pushed open the door and found that the room was already more than half - filled.

At a glance, he saw all familiar faces.

The ninjas he was familiar with were basically Jonin.

And today was the Jonin meeting.

Generally speaking, the Jonin meeting was only called for extremely important matters.

The reason was simple.

Jonin were very busy, and many of them were out on missions.

If a meeting was to be held, the Jonin had to be notified several days in advance.

Even so, there would still be absentees.

After all, the missions Jonin undertook were usually Class A or higher and couldn't be completed in just a few months.

Hiashi scanned the room and locked eyes on Hizashi Hyuga.

As the Hokage's secretary, his seat was in the second row.

Compared to before, his status had undoubtedly increased a lot.

But as the clan leader of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi sat in the first row.

However, there were already a few people there.

For example, the newly appointed head of the Konoha Police Force, Kosuke Maruboshi.

When Tsunade dug Kosuke Maruboshi out of nowhere, it really shocked a lot of people.

But they couldn't help but admit that this move was very clever.

The most direct result was that the power of the Konoha Police Force had been restored to Konoha.

Besides Kosuke Maruboshi, there were also four Hokage's bodyguards.

Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and Shizune.

Normally, they weren't qualified to sit here.

But once they became Hokage's bodyguards, things were a bit different.

They were the de - facto candidates for Hokage and held considerable symbolic meaning.

However, there was an additional person now, Natsume.

Hiashi suddenly noticed that Natsume was sitting in the middle, which clearly violated the rules.

This was usually Danzo Shimura's seat.

He was slightly stunned and a guess emerged in his mind.

But he didn't think it was likely at all.

Natsume was too young.

If he showed his full strength, no one would object.

Hiashi sat down silently.

If Natsume became the Assistant to the Hokage, he would be second only to the Hokage, with power only less than Tsunade's.

Maybe he really should consider the matter between Natsume and Hinata.

Hiashi was a smart man and knew what was best for the Hyuga clan.

"Clan leader."

Hizashi greeted him proactively.

"Yeah."

Hiashi came back to his senses and said calmly, "You've been doing a good job recently. Keep it up. If you become a Hokage advisor, it will be your greatest contribution."

Hizashi sighed inwardly but could only nod.

Damn it! When will the branch family rise up?

Not far from the two of them, Kakashi Hatake suddenly noticed Asuma Sarutobi.

He remembered the matter Asuma had asked him to help with not long ago.

What a pain in the neck.

"Red, why haven't I seen you with Asuma recently? Did you have a fight?"

Kakashi thought for a moment and then asked.

He and Asuma were graduates of the same class and had a good relationship, so he could only offer his help.

"No."

Kurenai shook her head and said, "I just think we're not a good match."

"

"Inappropriate?"

Kakashi Hatake was slightly stunned and asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"

"The documents from a few days ago."

After Kurenai Yuhi gave a reminder, she stopped talking.

A look of sudden realization flashed across Kakashi Hatake's face.

So that's how it is.

Through a comprehensive investigation of Danzo Shimura, many past events surfaced.

Among them, many high - level officials such as Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru were involved.

Tsunade had been hesitant to take action. One reason was that she was worried about causing turmoil in Konoha, and the other was her old - time affection.

But for people like Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi, who had followed and admired Hiruzen Sarutobi, it was very hard to accept.

It was like an idol from a past life having a downfall. You thought he was perfect, but then you found out he was involved in shady business (like a disgraced idol getting into trouble).

For a moment, Kurenai Yuhi also began to doubt Asuma Sarutobi, the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Moreover, even if he was innocent, did she have to marry into his family and face Hiruzen Sarutobi every day in the future?

Kurenai Yuhi thought she couldn't do it.

Coincidentally, they had just started dating and their relationship wasn't very deep yet, so she had already decided to give up.

[Due to your actions, the fates of Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Mirai Sarutobi have changed. You have gained a total of 150 destiny value points.]

Natsume, who was in a daze, suddenly startled.

Damn it!

What's going on?

How did I accidentally break up Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi?

Natsume really felt wronged.

He hadn't done anything!

Although Kurenai Yuhi is the Hokage's secretary, Natsume didn't take advantage of the situation at all and didn't make any moves towards her.

However, it was a good thing to get the contribution value.

Natsume wasn't a matchmaker and didn't care about others' happiness.

Besides, he wasn't fond of Asuma Sarutobi.

If it were Naruto Uzumaki, he would have thought it was quite pitiful and might have given a hand.

In short, his principle in doing things was simply to follow his heart.

Not long after, Tsunade arrived and the meeting officially began.

"The first thing is about Root."

Without any beating around the bush, the decisive Tsunade started dealing with the business right away.

When Root was mentioned, the expressions of many people below changed.

Especially Shibi Aburame.

Because Root had taken away two geniuses or top - level powerhouses from the Aburame clan.

That was Tatsuma Aburame and Torune Aburame.

The worst part was that after they joined Root, they basically stopped caring about clan affairs and became the lackeys of Danzo Shimura.

This chapter is not over yet. More exciting content to come!

"Since Root has been disbanded, there's no need to rebuild it," Tsunade said in a deep voice. "The former Root members will also become ordinary ninjas."

As soon as she said this.

Shibi Aburame, who had a gloomy face before, immediately showed a look of joy.

This meant that Tatsuma Aburame and Torune Aburame would also return to the Aburame clan.

It also meant that he no longer had to worry about the clan's geniuses being taken away in the future.

Apart from him, many others also beamed with joy.

In another place, they might have already started showing their loyalty.

"The second thing is about the functional division of the Konoha Police Force."

Tsunade held up her second finger.

The power of the Konoha Police Force has been constantly shared out because of the Uchiha clan.

Even though it has been rebuilt, it still seems rather useless for now.

This is unfair to the ninjas from various ninja clans who have joined the Konoha Police Force.

Or rather, the ninjas don't take the Konoha Police Force seriously.

"From now on, all the security issues in Konoha Village will be handled by the Konoha Police Force. The Anbu will no longer interfere."

As Tsunade finished speaking, the ninjas below all gasped in surprise.

Although this statement sounds quite ordinary, just a return to the original power distribution, it is a huge benefit to them.

Because they are the ones who will benefit now.

Tsunade scanned the room and a faint smile curved her lips.

The first two matters were just a prelude to what was to come.

Of course, she didn't lose out either.

It seems beneficial to the major ninja clans and ninjas, but actually, there is no single biggest winner.

Because the benefits are shared among them.

Konoha is the one who will have the last laugh.

There's not much to say regarding the first matter.

As for the second matter, the Anbu has indeed overstepped its bounds.

Handing the security issue over to the Konoha Police Force can actually save a lot of costs and enable the Anbu to focus on intelligence work and protecting the Hokage.

Moreover, with Kosuke Maruboshi around, the Konoha Police Force won't cause any trouble.

"For the third matter, I'm appointing Natsume as the Assistant to the Hokage. He has made significant merits in the matter of Danzo Shimura. He also has good strength, and besides, he is a ninja from the Senju clan. He is fully qualified."

Tsunade held up her third finger and said seriously, "I'm done speaking. Who agrees? Who opposes?"

There was a moment of silence in the meeting room.

Many people instinctively opposed the appointment because Natsume was too young and inexperienced.

But there were also smart people who realized the problem.

For example, Shikaku Nara, the clan leader of the Nara clan.

He immediately saw through Tsunade's strategy.

First offer two sweet deals, and then get to the main point.

This shows that her attitude is quite firm.

Thinking of this, Shikaku Nara whispered, "Don't oppose."

On his left and right were his allies, Choza Akimichi and Inoichi Yamanaka.

The Nara clan has always been the external brain of the Ino–Shika–Cho.

Even if they don't understand, they will follow Shikaku's instructions.

"Just as I thought."

Hiashi Hyuga squinted his eyes slightly. Maybe he should stand up and be the first to voice his support.

Although it doesn't conform to the Hyuga clan's usual way of doing things, he is the only one who knows Natsume's real strength.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore and stood up.

"I agree."

Hiashi Hyuga ignored the surprised looks from others and said, "I've heard some inside information. It was Natsume who suggested forming the Hokage secretary team and the Konoha Police Force. Coupled with his strength, I think it's okay to make an exception for him."

Tsunade nodded calmly.

Actually, she was quite surprised in her heart.

The Hyuga clan has been giving her a lot of support recently.

Or maybe Hiashi has regarded Natsume as his son - in - law?

With the guarantee of the Hyuga clan, the largest ninja clan in Konoha Village at present, many ninjas gave up the idea of opposing.

"I also think there's no big problem."

Kosuke Maruboshi stood up and said, "It's the young people's era now. If we choose Danzo Shimura again, it'll only harm Konoha. Natsume is an outstanding young ninja of Konoha. We should give him a try. Maybe Konoha will regain its vitality because of him."

After him, Shikaku Nara also expressed his opinion.

Although he was speaking alone, everyone knew he represented three clans.

Of course, there were also opponents, like the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan.

Tsunade paid them no heed.

In the end, most Jonin agreed, which meant Natsume officially became the Assistant to the Hokage.

However, unlike Danzo Shimura, he lost Root, which meant his power was not as great.

That's why so many people agreed.

Moreover, Tsunade had offered some benefits, so it would be ungrateful to oppose.

Being the Hokage ain't just about fighting, it's about dealing with people.

The Jonin meeting ended.

Hizashi Hyuga, as the Hokage's secretary, soon announced the three matters discussed today.

The most sensational one was Natsume's appointment as the Assistant to the Hokage.

At the same time, he was the youngest Konoha high - up in history.

Even Minato Namikaze couldn't compare.

The much - discussed Natsume was led by Anbu to a secret room deep in the Hokage Building.

This was where the Scroll of Seals was kept.

"Lord Natsume, please come in," an Anbu Ninja said respectfully.

"Thank you."

Natsume entered the secret room alone.

There were many seemingly good treasures inside, but he didn't take any.

After all, Tsunade was the Hokage now.

Why would he steal from his own place?

Natsume looked at the Scroll of Seals in the center and opened it.

The first forbidden jutsu was the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu[b]Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu[/b].

Back then, after Naruto Uzumaki was lured by Mizuki to steal the Scroll of Seals, he learned this jutsu.

Now that he thought about it, it was clearly an arrangement by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Otherwise, with Naruto Uzumaki's strength at that time, it was impossible for him to enter this heavily - guarded secret room. How could he have done it?

Moreover, he stole the precious Scroll of Seals without any punishment.

A smarter person would have noticed something fishy.

Only easy - going and care - free Naruto Uzumaki thought it was normal.

Natsume had already learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu[b]Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu[/b], so he quickly skipped to the next forbidden jutsu.

The Inner Four Symbols Seal[b]Inner Four Symbols Seal[/b].

The Hokage's special skill.

Natsume shook his head. He had Ena Uzumaki, so he didn't need to waste time learning any sealing techniques.

He continued to flip through the scroll.

The Impure World Reincarnation[b]Impure World Reincarnation[/b], the original version, was useless and had too many limitations.

He had already obtained an improved version from Orochimaru.

The Eight Gates[b]Eight Gates[/b]. It was powerful, but learning it was extremely torturous.

Natsume didn't think he had the energy to learn it.

Moreover, it depended on the person.

With the same Eight Gates[b]Eight Gates[/b] fully open, Might Guy was much stronger than Might Duy.

The Dead Demon Consuming Seal[b]Dead Demon Consuming Seal[/b], a one - for - one ninjutsu, was not on his list of considerations.

The Spirit Transformation Technique[b]Spirit Transformation Technique[/b] was quite good. Natsume was quite interested in it.

It was an S - rank soul ninjutsu that allowed the soul to leave the body.

Transform oneself spiritually into a living soul to shuttle regardless of distance and kill enemies. One can also control the opponent's body and enter others' spiritual world.

In the entire ninja world, there are very few soul ninjutsu, as rare as the Space–Time Ninjutsu[b]Space–Time Ninjutsu[/b].

In a more popular way of speaking from his past life, it's like having an astral projection.

Natsume noted down the Spirit Transformation Technique[b]Spirit Transformation Technique[/b] and could find time to learn it. Maybe it would come in handy someday.

Soon, he finished flipping through the Scroll of Seals[b]Scroll of Seals[/b].

Well, what should he say?

There were indeed quite a few Kinjutsu[b]Kinjutsu[/b] not mentioned in the original story.

Either the price was too high, or the effect was mediocre.

Natsume didn't find any pleasant surprises, unfortunately.

After leaving the secret room, he returned to his own office.

Danzo Shimura, the Assistant to the Hokage, had his activity area restricted to the Root, so he didn't have a dedicated office.

Actually, Natsume didn't really care about an office.

But Tsunade was more formal and got one for him.

It was located next to the Hokage's bodyguard team.

"Ino, why are you here?"

Natsume opened the door and was a bit surprised.

"Mr. Natsume."

Ino Yamanaka, wearing an apron, said excitedly, "Ms. Shizune told me to help you clean the office."

Natsume didn't quite understand what she was so happy about.

Silly girl, you've been had!

He was sure that it must be Tsunade who asked Shizune to clean, and Shizune outsourced it to Ino.

Natsume casually picked up the broom and said, "Let's do it together. It'll save time."

Ino Yamanaka's eyes lit up and she nodded.

She saw it as a rehearsal for the future.

"By the way, Ino."

While sweeping the stains, Natsume asked, "Shouldn't you call me senior brother?"

"Huh?"

Ino Yamanaka subconsciously looked up and asked, "Um... Does Mr. Natsume prefer the address of senior brother?"

"Not really."

Natsume thought for a while and said, "Let's use the original address. It sounds more intimate."

"Yeah!"

Ino Yamanaka blushed slightly and immediately smiled.

He said we have an intimate relationship!
