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

Natsume and Mikoto Uchiha spent an hour exploring the ruins of the Hidden Air Village before deciding to leave.

Although the scenery was pleasant, the previous battle had left little worth seeing.

An hour was already considered a relatively long time.

Especially for Mikoto Uchiha, whose frail body couldn't take much.

So the two cut their sightseeing trip short.

Due to exhaustion, Mikoto Uchiha stumbled and tore her kimono.

Natsume carried her back to the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Waves.

[Your actions have changed Shinno's destiny. You have gained 50 destiny value.]

[Your actions have changed Mikoto Uchiha's destiny. You have gained 69 destiny value.]

[Your actions have changed Danzo's destiny. You have gained 9 destiny value.]

How does Danzo get involved?

But nine points is too few, isn't it?

What has he been doing out there?

"Get some rest."

Natsume thought to himself as he stroked Mikoto Uchiha's head.

Her hair was silky smooth, just like her.

"Yeah."

Mikoto Uchiha replied shyly.

After Natsume left, her eyes gradually grew distant.

Although she had convinced herself, she knew what she did was a betrayal.

Especially to her late husband, Fugaku Uchiha.

But that sense of freedom and liberation was something she'd never felt before.

And the power.

Mikoto Uchiha looked up at the setting sun outside the window.

After a moment, she held her hand to her nose and took a gentle sniff.

The familiar scent on it made her lose all her strength. She lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Not far away was the office.

Natsume knocked on the door and entered.

"Brother!"

Karin rushed up immediately, complaining, "You haven't played with me in ages!"

"Where's Tayuya?"

Natsume picked her up and asked, "Isn't she with you?"

"She is, but she trains every day. She's so dedicated that I don't want to bother her."

Karin paused, then suddenly looked serious and asked, "Did you do something? She won't stop talking about you."

"Just talking about me?"

Natsume grinned and asked.

Knowing Tayuya's personality, he wouldn't believe it if she didn't curse a bit.

"She said some rather vulgar things."

Karin said in a refined manner, "I've given her a piece of my mind."

"Given her a piece of your mind?"

Natsume was a bit surprised and asked curiously, "Can you beat her?"

"Not really."

Karin lifted her chin proudly and said, "I used reverse psychology to get her into my area of expertise and made her recite the whole text with me."

Wow!

You've really got Tayuya figured out!

Only you could come up with the idea of reciting the whole text.

So cunning!

Taking advantage of an unschooled girl.

"You're so smart."

Natsume stroked her red hair.

Karin immediately showed a tsundere, cat-like expression, enjoying the stroking.

"But don't let her lead you astray."

It's said that dirty words always spread the fastest.

For example, when learning a foreign language, you seem to know their meanings without being taught, especially Japanese.

How many people can say a few sentences.

"I won't do that!"

Karin clenched her fists and said, "No matter how many words, they can't compare to one punch from me."

"..."

Natsume was immediately speechless.

What you said makes so much sense that I can't refute it.

I should worry about Tayuya instead.

In a few years, she might not be able to beat Karin.

What Tayuya is best at is nothing more than the Summoning Jutsu[b]Summoning Jutsu[/b] and special sound - based Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b].

But Karin is learning the Sealing Technique[b]Sealing Technique[/b] and Taijutsu[b]Taijutsu[/b].

In the original story, she can also use the Mystical Palm Technique[b]Mystical Palm Technique[/b].

That means she has the talent of a Medical Ninja.

But she is still young, so there's no rush to learn it.

Learning the Sealing Technique[b]Sealing Technique[/b] and Taijutsu[b]Taijutsu[/b] first is enough to make her survive in the ninja world.

What Natsume is more worried about is that there are too few people of her age.

Fortunately, after Tayuya, there is another Uru.

He suddenly found that all three of them have red hair.

It's really fate.

"Karin, why are you saying strange things again?"

Ena Uzumaki put down the work in her hand. Her tone was a bit helpless, but more of it was affection.

"It's not strange."

Karin turned her head and made a face. "My brother didn't say anything."

Ena Uzumaki immediately looked at Natsume. Her eyes clearly showed that it was all his fault for spoiling her.

"I think it's not a big problem."

Natsume shrugged and said.

"Brother still understands me best."

Karin immediately cheered.

Ena Uzumaki sighed and shook her head, but didn't say anything more.

"How are you doing now, Uru?"

Natsume remembered that she had a strange illness.

Although Shinno is quite arrogant, his medical skills are real.

He has walked in the ninja world without being exposed, which shows that he is really good.

"It's not a big problem."

Ena Uzumaki's eyes were always on Natsume, full of tenderness and yearning. "She just wants to go back to the village all the time."

"We really didn't think of this."

Natsume didn't remember the content of the movie version so clearly.

And it didn't write about Uru's attitude towards the villagers.

Now it seems that because of his intervention, Shinno doesn't hold any status in her mind at all.

This section isn't over yet! More exciting stuff to come!

"Then move the village here."

Natsume waved his hand boldly and said.

The Land of Waves is short of people.

Even after taking over the Land of Whirlpools, there is still a shortage.

Mainly, the shipping business, the bridge, and the subsequent exploitation of marine resources all require people.

Ena Uzumaki nodded.

Although she is the one to arrange the final things, as long as it is Natsume's order, she doesn't care how hard and tiring it is.

"News came from Kiri."

Ena Uzumaki picked up a document and said, "The five shipping lanes will be dredged next month, and the chefs you want are already in place."

Natsume was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He always remembered about the shipping lanes.

But about the chefs, if Ena Uzumaki hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten.

Speaking of this, it seems he has been neglecting Mei Terumī for quite a while.

"Okay, I got it."

Natsume smiled and ruffled Karin's hair, but his eyes were on Ena Uzumaki.

She understood what he meant and showed a tolerant smile.

It was a pity that Natsume had to return to Konoha Village.

As the Assistant to the Hokage, he couldn't skip work all day.

Under the reluctant gazes of Ena Uzumaki and Karin, Natsume appeared in his own office.

There were already quite a few documents piled on the desk.

Natsume casually flipped through them.

One of the hot topics was Naruto Uzumaki.

The exposure of his true identity had really sparked quite a discussion in Konoha Village.

People's hearts, when reflected in this mirror, showed different colors.

It could only be said that those without an education did seem a bit stupid.

Natsume actually had the idea of establishing a school.

But he guessed there would be quite a few opponents.

The ninjas thought it would cost too much and wasn't necessary.

The aristocrats simply thought he was challenging their power.

After all, the smarter people are, the harder they are to control.

Natsume thought to himself that he could wait until he became the Hokage to bring it up.

By then, the first thing he would handle was the Fire Daimyo.

He would handle what Tsunade could handle and even more that she couldn't.

It wasn't that she was a bad Hokage; it was just that the environment limited her.

Moreover, she was naturally lazy.

So it had to be Natsume who did it.

After finishing dealing with all the documents, he didn't call an Anbu ninja but carried them to the Hokage's office himself.

"Sister, are you tired?"

Natsume opened the door and saw Tsunade closing her eyes to rest, so he asked.

"Not bad."

Tsunade opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Put the documents on the desk."

"Okay."

Natsume nodded. After putting down the documents, he noticed a top - secret intelligence report on the desk and casually picked it up.

In Konoha, Intelligence reports were classified into several levels.

The highest - level intelligence could only be viewed by the Hokage.

But Natsume and Tsunade understood each other well.

They knew each other too well.

They could completely share intelligence.

Natsume took a glance and was immediately a bit surprised.

It was about Danzo Shimura.

It said that after Danzo Shimura left Konoha, he went to Amegakure Village to find Hanzo the Demi - God.

Although Nagato of the Akatsuki organization had killed Hanzo, the outside world didn't know about it, and the news had been blocked.

Other ninja villages tried to gather intelligence, but it was like throwing water into the sea, with no ripples at all.

It was understandable that Danzo Shimura went to find Hanzo.

There weren't many people who could help him make a comeback.

Apart from the Five Great Villages, Amegakure Village was the most likely one.

Because they had Hanzo, the leader known as the Demi - God.

The God was Hashirama Senju.

From this, one could know Hanzo's prestige in the ninja world.

He was most famous for single - handedly fighting against the Sannin and winning in the Second Great Ninja War.

Strictly speaking, he was the one who named the Sannin.

So the title of Sannin was not an honor but a shame.

But because it was so well - known, it was still used now.

Moreover, the more famous the Sannin were, the more it confirmed the value of Hanzo the Demi - God.

The intelligence report didn't go into too much detail.

It only said that Danzo Shimura went to find Hanzo and fled badly injured.

How should I put it?

He actually didn't die!

Natsume thought for a moment. Perhaps Nagato didn't want to expose the existence of the Akatsuki organization for the time being.

Danzo Shimura was a rogue ninja from Konoha Village. If he died in Amegakure Village, Tsunade would definitely send someone to negotiate and at least retrieve the corpse.

After all, the corpse could reveal many things.

And Danzo Shimura was a high - ranking official in Konoha Village, knowing countless secrets.

It was good that he didn't die.

He could continue to contribute destiny value.

He just wondered where the wandering Danzo Shimura's next stop would be.

"Tanzō disappeared without a trace after being seriously injured," Tsunade glanced and said, "But he also proved that Hanzo the Demi - God still had his edge."

Like the others, she believed that Hanzo the Demi - God was not dead.

Moreover, although Danzo Shimura was a bit of a disappointment, his strength had exceeded that of most ninjas.

Very few ninjas could defeat and seriously injure him.

It was understandable that Tsunade would think of Hanzo.

After all, they had fought against each other and she had a deep impression of him.

"Sister, are you worried about Amegakure Village?" Natsume asked after putting down the intelligence report.

"Since the Second Great Ninja War, Amegakure Village has prohibited anyone from entering or leaving," Tsunade nodded, showing concern, and said, "Hanzo is not an obedient ninja. He hasn't shown up for so long. I don't know what he's planning."

He's planning to be resurrected.

Natsume answered immediately.

Hanzo could indeed be seen in the later stage.

That was through Impure World Reincarnation[b]Impure World Reincarnation[/b].

Oh!

But because he lost his summoned beast, Sanshouo, he seemed rather weak and was defeated by Mifune, the great general of the Land of Iron.

He completely failed to display the bearing of a demi - god.

Especially compared with Hashirama Senju, the god of the ninja world, he shouldn't be called a demi - god. He should be called a one - hundred - millionth of a god.

Natsume thought for a moment and didn't explain anything. He said, "No matter what he's planning, with the strength of Konoha Village, there's no need to worry."

"You don't know how powerful Hanzo is," Tsunade immediately told the legendary story of the battle between the Sannin and Hanzo during the Second Great Ninja War.

Natsume listened attentively without interrupting, but he couldn't help feeling a bit emotional inside.

It seemed that Tsunade had really let go of the past.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have mentioned the Second Great Ninja War.

After all, Nawaki died during this period.

And he was blown up by an Explosive Tag[b]Explosive Tag[/b] right in front of Orochimaru.

This unremarkable Explosive Tag[b]Explosive Tag[/b] had changed two of the Sannin.

They just went in completely different directions.

One stopped being a human, and the other went into seclusion in negativity.

"He's really quite powerful," Natsume echoed after listening.

"You're just being perfunctory." Tsunade gave him a sideways look. How could she not tell that Natsume didn't care at all.

But thinking about his strength, Hanzo really wasn't much to write home about.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Since you don't like to listen, I won't talk about it anymore."

"No, I really like to listen," Natsume ran in front of her, looked at her delicate face, and said, "I'll listen to whatever you say."

"How are you so good at this?" Tsunade reached out and flicked his forehead and asked, "How many innocent girls have you deceived behind my back?"

"How could you say that?"

Natsume asked, annoyed. "Can the Hokage just slander people at will?"

"Sure can."

Tsunade said with a playful smile, reaching out to ruffle his face. "That's the Hokage's privilege."

"Fine then."

Natsume said fiercely. "You just wait. One day, it'll be my turn to be the Hokage!"

Hearing this, Tsunade was taken aback. Then her face darkened, veins popping on her forehead, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

She stood up, pressed Natsume onto the Hokage's soft chair, rolled up her sleeves, and with their faces close, said, "That's for the future. I'm going to teach you a lesson right now!"

Just as the two were fighting in the Hokage's office, Shizune and Ino Yamanaka happened to be outside the door.

Each of them was holding a stack of documents, or rather, papers for Tsunade to review.

"Ms. Shizune, it seems there's no one inside."

Ino Yamanaka knocked on the door. Not getting a response, she turned to ask.

"That's not right."

Shizune knew Tsunade well.

Although she was laid - back, She still does what she's supposed to do and would never delay Konoha's important matters because of personal emotions.

She stepped forward, pushed the door, and sensed the presence of a barrier.

Shizune was slightly startled. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her face flushed a little.

How daring! Aren't they afraid of being discovered?

"Ino, let's come back tomorrow."

Shizune came to her senses and said, "Lady Tsunade should have left work."

"Okay."

Ino Yamanaka nodded, took a few steps forward, and asked, "Ms. Shizune, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay. It's just a bit hot."

Shizune changed the subject and said, "You can be considered a medical ninja from today on since you can revive a rooster."

"I still have a long way to go."

Ino Yamanaka said with a hint of joy but still very modestly, "I'd be really satisfied if I could be one - tenth as good as you, Ms. Shizune."

"You're just as talented as I am."

Shizune smiled, and the blush on her face had faded. "Come on, girl."

Night fell.

Natsume carried Tsunade back home.

Shizune, who was waiting on the sofa, immediately stood up.

She was about to ask what they (Natsume and Tsunade) would like to eat tonight when she saw Natsume raise his finger, signaling her to be quiet.

Shizune instinctively looked at Tsunade on his back, who was in a deep, sweet sleep.

She immediately understood. She was just too exhausted.

Natsume laid Tsunade on the bed without waking her up, letting her continue to sleep.

"Ms. Shizune, just prepare dinner for two."

After leaving the room, Natsume said.

Shizune nodded. With a calm expression, she walked into the kitchen and then let out a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but think, even Lady Tsunade with her abundant energy could get this tired?

Not long after, dinner was served.

With one person missing, the meal was relatively simple.

Natsume didn't really care. After he was full, he told Shizune and carried Tsunade to take a bath.

After all, after working so hard, she was all sweaty.

After taking care of that, they entered a rare, quiet night.

The Land of Snow.

The Snow City.

Even under the cover of night, the area remained brightly lit.

Doto Kazahana sat on his throne and asked, "Have you found out about that sudden appearance of the aerial fortress[b]aerial fortress[/b] in the sky?"

Three of his most trusted lieutenants knelt below him.

Nadare Roga, Fubuki Kakuyoku, and Hyōhō Fuyuguma.

They fell silent when faced with his question.

After a moment, Fubuki Kakuyoku, with her pink ponytail sticking up, spoke up, "None of the men we sent out came back."

"All of them were wiped out?"

Doto Kazahana's face darkened. He asked, "What about the enemies? Didn't they even catch a glimpse of them?"

"They lost contact after entering the aerial fortress[b]aerial fortress[/b]."

Fubuki Kakuyoku paused for a moment and replied uncertainly, "It's as if they were defeated in an instant."

"That's impossible."

Doto Kazahana looked up and asked, "They were all wearing Chakra armor[b]Chakra armor[/b], and each of them was as powerful as a Jonin[b]Jonin[/b]. How could they lose so quickly?"

"I don't know, sir."

Fubuki Kakuyoku said with a solemn expression, "Maybe it's the weapons the aerial fortress[b]aerial fortress[/b] is equipped with."

Doto Kazahana propped his head up with one hand and fell into deep thought.

The sudden appearance of the aerial fortress[b]aerial fortress[/b] was extremely suspicious.

He kept wondering what kind of Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b] or technology it was.

Previously, he thought the technology of the Land of Snow[b]Land of Snow[/b] was the best among all the countries.

He never expected that there's always someone better.

"They haven't launched a counter - attack up to now. Maybe they're waiting for something."

Doto Kazahana tapped on the throne and said, "Gather all our forces tomorrow and attack the aerial fortress[b]aerial fortress[/b]."

He was well aware that the more the enemies delayed, the slimmer his chances would be.

Moreover, the longer the aerial fortress[b]aerial fortress[/b] stayed, the greater the blow to his prestige would be.

Besides, he had set his eyes on this fortress[b]fortress[/b].

"Yes, sir!"

The three of them answered in unison.

"Have you found any traces of Yukie Kazahana?"

Doto Kazahana asked again.

He had plotted to seize the position of the Daimyo of the Land of Snow[b]Daimyo of the Land of Snow[/b] just for the so - called treasure.

The key to the treasure is called the hexagonal crystal.

He had searched the entire Land of Snow[b]Land of Snow[/b] but couldn't find it, so the only possibility was that it was with the princess who was on the run.

"No, sir."

Fubuki Kakuyoku said reluctantly.

"A bunch of useless fools!"

Doto Kazahana couldn't help but show his rage. "After all these years, how can you even fail to find a single person?"

Five thousand words. PS: I'd like to recommend a new book written by a member of our book club, a fan - fiction about Shinigami[b]Shinigami[/b]. If you're interested in Shinigami[b]Shinigami[/b], you can take a look.
