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

Natsume looked around and couldn't help but sigh that the Daimyo was really wealthy.

The palace was magnificently built, and it reeked of money everywhere.

In contrast, Konoha Village seemed rather simple.

One reason was the lack of funds, and the other was that ninjas didn't care about such things.

Except for a few ninjas, most ninjas were more like ascetics, leading rather self - disciplined lives.

After all, there were so - called ninja codes.

Of course, powerful ninjas could ignore them.

For example, the Sannin of Konoha Village.

"Sir Natsume."

Santa Asama stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Please wait a little while. Her Highness is changing into gorgeous clothes."

Just as Natsume was about to speak, he heard Yukie Kazahana's voice coming from the room.

"Asama, let him in."

"Please come in."

Santa Asama immediately stepped aside.

Although Natsume had knocked him out not long ago, it had led to the restoration of the Land of Snow.

He would be willing to be knocked out or even killed.

This was loyalty!

Natsume pushed open the door and entered the room.

The sunlight shone through the silk - like curtains onto the down quilt, making it look extremely dazzling and luxurious.

His gaze couldn't help but fall on the huge bed in the center.

It could accommodate seven or eight people. What a luxury!

Natsume kind of wanted to roll around on such a big bed. It should be very comfortable.

"Sir Natsume."

Yukie Kazahana turned her head, greeted him, and then continued applying makeup.

For some unknown reason, there were no maids.

Natsume watched for a while and found that her makeup skills were quite good.

Maybe it was because of her experience as an actress.

The only downside was that the weather in the Land of Snow was extremely cold, and no matter how beautiful a woman was, she was wrapped up very tightly.

Cough.

Natsume didn't mean anything inappropriate. He just thought it lacked a bit of adornment.

"Sir Natsume."

Yukie Kazahana put down her lipstick, stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay."

Natsume waved his hand and asked, "But Your Highness, what did you call me here for?"

"Well... actually, I'd like you to attend the succession ceremony with me."

Yukie Kazahana blushed, looking as shy as a young maiden, just like her red lips.

"I was going to attend anyway."

Natsume asked in confusion.

"To go on stage."

Yukie Kazahana took a deep breath and said seriously, "From now on, the Providence Organization will be the ninja village of the Land of Snow. I think everyone should know that they are under protection."

In fact, it was because of her selfishness.

She would feel really secure with Natsume by her side.

Unlike Yukie Kazahana in the original story, she hadn't undergone any psychological transformation and was now confused and worried about everything.

"But I don't want the Providence Organization to be exposed."

Natsume shook his head and refused, saying, "They don't need to know too much."

Although the Land of Snow didn't attract much attention, it was still a country.

The news of the change of the Daimyo would definitely spread.

Then the Providence Organization might become well - known.

There was no need for that for the time being.

Natsume thought it would be more fun to develop stealthily and then surprise everyone quietly.

Yukie Kazahana felt a pang of urgency, and sweat began to bead on her forehead.

The Daimyo's authority suddenly declined sharply.

Fortunately, having been an actress, she came up with an idea in the nick of time. "Then I'd like to invite you to be the Grand Minister of the Land of Snow," she said.

Natsume was slightly taken aback; this was beyond his expectations.

According to the official ranking system under Japan's Ritsuryo system, the Grand Minister was the head of all officials, also known as the prime minister.

In the Land of Snow, this position was second only to that of the Daimyo.

It was a position of great power and high status.

It was indeed against the rules to have an outsider take on this role.

"Well, what do you think?"

Yukie Kazahana stared at him expectantly, afraid that he would refuse.

Looking at her cute appearance when she exposed her true nature, Natsume couldn't help but smile.

In fact, the position of Grand Minister was quite suitable for him in a way.

After all, he did plan to transform the Land of Snow.

Originally, he planned to issue orders through Yukie Kazahana, but now he could take the lead himself.

"Sure," Natsume nodded and reminded her, "but I might be very busy and won't be in the Land of Snow all the time."

"As long as you agree," Yukie Kazahana's delicate face was filled with a smile, not caring about his latter words at all.

Natsume also smiled.

He could tell that this young girl had a good impression of him.

Not bad.

He still had some charm.

Moreover, this was beneficial for the harmony between the Land of Snow and the Providence Organization.

Natsume had no romantic intentions towards her for the moment.

He'd think about it when she grew up.

"One more thing. My identity is quite special," Natsume thought for a moment and said, "Please call me Kishi in public, not by my real name, Natsume."

Hearing this, Yukie Kazahana's eyes lit up.

Telling her his real name was undoubtedly a great sign of trust.

"I got it," Yukie Kazahana replied cheerfully.

"Your Highness, it's time to start!"

Santa Asama's excited voice came from outside the door. "Everyone is waiting for you outside!"

He had been looking forward to this moment for years, so it was hard for him not to get emotional.

"Um... please witness this with me," Yukie Kazahana showed a sweet smile like a young girl.

But in a second, she regained the dignity of a Daimyo.

Natsume couldn't help but think to himself, What great acting skills!

Yukie Kazahana walked to the door, turned back to look at him, and only continued walking after he caught up.

This chapter is not over!

They left the palace all the way and reached the square.

It was already crowded with people.

As soon as they saw Yukie Kazahana, the crowd erupted into cheers.

Natsume stood behind her, now with an ordinary-looking face.

As usual, Yukie Kazahana began to give a speech.

You didn't even need to listen to know what the content would be.

Ten minutes later, Yukie Kazahana raised her hand and said, "Lord Kishi, please come here."

Natsume was slightly startled.

Is there something for me too?

To announce it at the succession ceremony?

It seemed that he held a pretty important position in her heart.

Natsume stepped forward a few steps and stood beside her.

"Let me introduce to you. This is Lord Kishi, who will serve as the Grand Minister of the Land of Snow."

Yukie Kazahana boldly took his hand. Her face was burning hot as she exhaled warm breath and said, "This restoration of the country entirely depends on Lord Kishi. With his help, the [Land of Snow] will be even better in the future."

After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted into cheers again.

Their worldview has always been relatively simple.

Whoever is beneficial to them is a good person.

Only Santa Asama stood there stupidly.

I was the first one!

Why did this happen?

He thought that with all these years of accompanying the agent and his [Merit] in restoring the country, he could become the [Grand Minister].

Who would have thought that someone would cut in halfway?

And it was Natsume, the one he thought was the least likely.

After all, under normal circumstances, which ninja would go to work in the court?

After Yukie Kazahana's appointment, it didn't mean the end of the succession ceremony.

What followed was a day of national celebration.

It was similar to the Spring Festival in the past life.

They had been oppressed by Doto Kazahana for too long. It was time to celebrate.

Inside the palace, Yukie Kazahana held her first court meeting as the Daimyo.

Natsume stood at the front.

Behind him were the [civil and military officials] of the [Land of Snow].

But at this moment, they all looked nervous.

Because they were all former subordinates of Doto Kazahana.

"Lord Kishi."

Yukie Kazahana said calmly, "Please investigate them."

Natsume nodded but didn't take any action.

Shisui Uchiha flashed into view.

He stood in front of Yukie Kazahana and said, "Please look at me."

He activated his Mangekyo Sharingan[b]Mangekyo Sharingan[/b].

"Start with you. Tell us what you did to help Doto Kazahana."

Shisui Uchiha pointed randomly.

An extraordinary court meeting began.

Santa Asama trembled with fear.

Holy crap! This is so terrifying!

I don't want to play anymore!

Everyone has their own selfishness and secrets.

Including him.

But who could have expected such an outrageous situation?

Santa Asama clenched his fist and placed it on his heart.

He secretly swore that he would be absolutely loyal, fair, and open from then on, without concealing, deceiving, or betraying.

Yukie Kazahana listened and gave orders at the same time.

After a morning, half of the [civil and military officials] were executed.

But it was worth it.

Keeping the pests won't help the tree thrive.

Yukie Kazahana naturally understood this truth.

Fortunately, the Mangekyo Sharingan[b]Mangekyo Sharingan[/b] can not only screen out treacherous officials but also distinguish loyal ones.

A Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] cast, and those who could withstand it were generally not bad.

Just like that, within a day, the [civil and military officials] took up their posts again.

Yukie Kazahana's pressure was greatly reduced.

After all, she was just a young girl and didn't know many things. Becoming the Daimyo was also an accident.

Now with the help of such capable ministers, she was naturally much more relaxed.

And Shisui Uchiha's methods also made everyone fear Natsume absolutely.

The [Land of Snow] entered its most enlightened era.

In fact, Natsume didn't interfere much.

Reform can't be achieved overnight.

What's more, the [Land of Snow] is extremely poor!

The top priority is to improve the economy right away.

However, it also had an advantage, which was technology.

The saying goes, "If you want to get rich, build roads first."

The Land of Snow already had trains. Now, it's vigorously promoting the railway network and aiming to lay tracks to every corner.

Meanwhile, it's using the geothermal heaters left by the former Daimyo to build ice-free ports.

Relying on shipping lanes, it conducts trade with the outside world.

And at this time, it's the turn of the Thousand Sunny Merchant Guild to take the stage.

It's their specialty.

They can completely sell the unique resources of the Land of Snow to countries like the Land of Water and the Land of Fire to earn greater profits.

Conversely, they can also buy common resources from other countries at low prices and transport them back.

After Natsume assigned this matter, he returned to Konoha.

Regarding the Land of Waves and the Land of Snow, he only gave suggestions and left the implementation to Ena Uzumaki and others.

Time quickly passed to the New Year.

According to the timeline of the original story, this should be the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination.

But because of Natsume, it had already happened earlier.

In the next few years, the ninja world was relatively peaceful.

It wasn't until Naruto Uzumaki graduated that the plot officially began.

With the arrival of the New Year, Konoha Village became lively.

Natsume appeared in Kiri.

Four months had passed since the last time.

Today happened to be the day when the five shipping lanes were officially opened.

After all, they had chosen an auspicious day.

As the nominal person in charge, Natsume had to make a trip and by the way, show concern for the Mizukage.

"You're here."

Mei Terumī looked up, trying to keep her tone calm.

But actually, she was quite annoyed.

When Natsume left last time, he told her he'd bring her a new set of clothes.

As a result, she'd waited with anticipation and unease for four months without seeing him.

It had left her in a very uncomfortable state.

Now that she saw this guy, she was both delighted and a bit angry.

But as the Mizukage, she couldn't lose her temper and could only hold it in.

Natsume glanced at her and couldn't help smiling. He asked, "Does the Mizukage-sama seem to be angry?"

"I'm not."

Mei Terumī, of course, wouldn't admit it. She said, "I'm quite happy now."

"Is it because of seeing me?"

Natsume stepped forward and directly sat on the office desk, looking down to admire the view covered by the fishnet.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Mei Terumī crossed her arms in front of her chest, showing the authority of the Mizukage, and asked.

"Nothing worth looking at."

Natsume curled his lips.

Especially when compared with Tsunade, it seems not at all impressive.

"What did you say?!"

Mei Terumī suddenly got a bit emotional, removed her hand, and asked.

After all, she was a woman.

What women care about most is their appearance and figure.

And she was quite confident in these two aspects.

But when she noticed Natsume's playful smile, she immediately realized something was wrong.

Mei Terumī blushed slightly, gave a soft snort, and asked, "Am I not worth looking at? There are quite a lot of people pursuing me."

Natsume thought to himself, 'She doesn't think I don't know she'll become an eager-to-marry older single woman in a few years.'

Come to think of it, Mei Terumī isn't bad.

But why does this situation occur?

It's because there really aren't any outstanding men in Kiri.

The only one who can be brought out is Chojuro.

His personality and appearance destined that Mei Terumī wouldn't be fond of him.

Judging from her aesthetic standards in the original story, she would probably like guys like Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha.

Anyway, they have to be handsome and have good temperaments.

"Then, who does Lady Mizukage plan to choose?" Natsume asked with a smile.

Mei Terumī suddenly felt a little flustered.

Who to choose?

Instinctively, she didn't want to discuss this topic in front of Natsume.

After all, Mei Terumī wasn't an ordinary young girl. She shook her head and said, "I'm not in the mood for that right now."

"There's a saying, 'Seize the day when the opportunity arises.'" Natsume continued to comment in a condescending way, "Don't end up an old maid."

"Absolutely not!"

Mei Terumī couldn't maintain her cool expression any longer. She almost blurted out these four words.

If she were able to beat Natsume, she'd probably teach him a lesson right away.

"Let's make a bet," Natsume said, holding up a finger. "If you win, the two-and-a-half-year deal will be wiped out. But if you lose, it'll be doubled."

"I..."

Mei Terumī hesitated, then looked up at him and asked, "Why should I bet? Whether I get married or not has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, she suddenly felt her heart pounding.

"True," Natsume shrugged. "If you don't want to bet, let's talk about business."

Mei Terumī secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but somehow, she also felt a twinge of loss.

She picked up the documents on the table and was about to speak when a set of clothes suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Here, this is for you," Natsume said with a big smile. "You'll be even more irresistible when you dance in it."

Hearing this, Mei Terumī was slightly taken aback.

But then she felt a bit smug.

You just said I wasn't worth looking at, and now you're praising me.

Such a two - faced man.

Mei Terumī glanced at the clothes. It was an evening dress.

Compared to the blue dress she was wearing, it seemed rather cheap.

She had to admit that she kind of liked it.

"Try it on now?"

"..."

Mei Terumī hesitated for a few seconds, but finally didn't let Natsume down.

She picked up the clothes and quickly disappeared.

Not long after, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Natsume looked up, and a flash of amazement crossed his eyes.

Her reddish - brown hair was neatly coiled into a dignified bun at the back of her head, looking very much like an aristocratic lady.

Her delicate and flawless face had her moist lips slightly flushed.

Her tall figure was a perfect match for the low - cut and off - the - shoulder evening dress.

The tight - fitting design perfectly highlighted her alluring pear - shaped figure.

"I feel so pressured standing next to you," Natsume said with a smile, looking at Mei Terumī who was even taller than him because of the high heels.

"It's your fault for being so young," Mei Terumī said, a smile curving her lips. It was rare for her to gain the upper hand.

Although it was just because of the age difference that she was a head taller than Natsume, looking down at him like this made her quite happy.

There was an inexplicable sense of dominance.

Natsume jumped off the desk and ran in front of her.

Mei Terumī instinctively wanted to step back and crossed her arms over her chest. But then she remembered his comment of "not worth looking at", and immediately felt annoyed.

She straightened her upper body nervously and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Natsume didn't expect such a rebellious act from her. His eyes involuntarily followed the beautiful curve.

"I'm sorry to you."

"Good that you know."

Mei Terumī gave a soft snort, but her eyes narrowed, feeling extremely delighted.

Natsume suddenly thought she looked quite like a cat at this moment.

It's a pity he couldn't stroke her.

"Now it's time to talk about business, right?"

Mei Terumī wasn't used to wearing high heels. She went back to her Mizukage throne.

Natsume admired her graceful figure. Finally, his gaze fell on her fair, smooth and delicate bare back. Immediately, he thought of a saying.

It's a pity not to do cupping on it!

He took a few steps forward, sat on the office desk, and chose an excellent viewing spot.

Oh!

"..."

Mei Terumī slightly parted her rosy lips and said, "Could you please sit over there?"

"Why?"

Natsume scrutinized her charming curves and asked.

"The office desk isn't for sitting on."

Mei Terumī was already a bit overwhelmed, with an unnatural look on her face.

"Actually, there are quite a lot of ways to use an office desk."

Thinking of Tsunade, Natsume gave a silly laugh and sat on the sofa opposite her.

"This afternoon is the opening ceremony of the shipping lanes. If you want to attend, I'll ask them to reserve a seat for you."

Mei Terumī secretly let out a sigh of relief, feeling less pressured.

After all, she was just a young girl, far less bold than she would be in the future.

"You can go."

After thinking for a while, Natsume said, "With Mizukage - sama there, I won't be able to steal the show."

"You're smart."

Mei Terumī crossed her hands. A satisfied smile appeared on her beautiful face as she said, "I'll keep an eye on it for you."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Natsume was straightforward.

Anyway, she owed money and couldn't get away with it.

If she wanted to pay back the money, she had to work hard to maintain the shipping business and make a profit from it.

"The chefs you wanted are already in place."

Mei Terumī added, "You can cook whatever you like."

"Thanks."

Natsume nodded. "I'll treat you to a meal then."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Mei Terumī said politely.

Anyway, it was all fish. No matter how delicious it could be, that's all it was.

She was more curious about the deeper meaning behind it or if there were any extra tricks.

"Where are those chefs? Take me there."

Natsume wanted to start his high - end cuisine as soon as possible.

As long as the taste and appearance were good, he would go to the Water Daimyo to promote it.

With a little more promotion, it could become popular among the aristocracy and he'd make a lot of money.

Mei Terumī stood up and suddenly realized her inappropriate attire. Then she said, "Let Ao take you there."

Soon, Natsume met seven chefs.

Each of them was quite famous in the Land of Water.

They agreed entirely for the sake of money.

Natsume briefly explained the cuisine from his past life. The rest would depend on their creativity.

Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Waves.

Shisui Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha are in the Land of Snow.

Now only Mikoto Uchiha and others remain.

Natsume felt like he was short on manpower again.

But there was nothing he could do.

In a few years, with the establishment of Konoha Village, there would be less to worry about.

"Here's what you asked for."

When Kabuto Yakushi looked up and saw Natsume, he casually threw out two scrolls.

They were the two medical kinjutsu of Shinno, Body Activation[b]Body Activation[/b] and Body Regeneration[b]Body Regeneration[/b].

"Thanks."

Natsume put away the scrolls and turned to leave. He came to the office of Ena Uzumaki.

He knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Ena Uzumaki said without looking up.

When she heard the familiar footsteps, she immediately showed a smile and looked at him gently.

"Are you busy again?"

Natsume said with a bit of guilt, "I've left you to handle so many things alone."

"It doesn't matter."

Ena Uzumaki shook her head and said, "I'm willing to do it."

Natsume walked up to her.

Before he could speak, she had already given up her seat.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Natsume leaned back against the seat, feeling completely relaxed and warm.

"This... is what I should do."

Ena Uzumaki let out a breath, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Um... what brings you here today?"

"Form a mining team."

Natsume held her to keep her from falling and said.

"Min...ing what?"

Ena Uzumaki's eyes went blank and she looked dazed.

"Underwater resources."

Natsume explained, "You can hire some Water Release ninjas through the Mizukage to mine underwater, like ore veins."

Obviously, ores have a wide variety of uses.

The ninja world can't make full use of them for now. However, the technology in the Land of Snow and the Sky Country is quite good and can utilize a large amount of these resources.

At present, the underwater resources are ownerless. It would be a waste not to take them.

As for the Kiri Village trying to snatch them, he was certain that Mei Terumī wouldn't dare.

One was because of his strength, and the other was because of the debt.

However, Natsume wasn't that heartless. It wouldn't be a problem to give her some benefits.

After all, she was providing the manpower.

Ena Uzumaki bit her lip and nodded, a blush appearing on her face.

"There's another thing."

Natsume stared at her rather charming expression and asked, "There should be some prisoners to be executed in the Land of Waves, right?"

"Yes!"

Ena Uzumaki replied firmly.

"Preferably ninjas."

Natsume added.

He planned to disguise one of them as Shinno and then manipulate things a bit to successfully hand over the two medical kinjutsu to Tsunade.

"Okay!"

Ena Uzumaki's voice was firm again.

Natsume didn't say anything else and slowly closed his eyes.

He was quite tired today.

It was just the right time to take a break.

Three hours later, Natsume left the Land of Waves feeling refreshed.

Back in Konoha Village, he immediately summoned Inoichi Yamanaka.

The person in charge of the analysis team.

"Lord Natsume."

Inoichi Yamanaka greeted him neither overly humble nor arrogant.

Although it was a bit awkward to address a junior as "lord", he was, after all, the Assistant to the Hokage.

In terms of position, he outranked him by a lot.

Moreover, he had learned from Ino Yamanaka that Natsume had played a significant role in her being taken under Tsunade's wing.

So, he didn't show much reluctance when addressing Natsume as "sir."

"Uncle Inoichi, if I asked you to do something without telling my teacher, would you do it?"

Natsume asked with a smile.

Giving Tsunade the Kinjutsu was essentially a good thing and not a betrayal of Konoha.

It was just a bit tricky to explain the source.

But he didn't have to explain it to Inoichi Yamanaka.

After all, big shots always have their secrets.

"…?"

Hearing this, Inoichi Yamanaka immediately looked troubled.

His mind started racing.

Could it be that this Assistant to the Hokage was getting restless and wanted to be like Tanzō Shimura?

The Ino–Shika–Cho have always been supporters of the Hokage.

Logically, they shouldn't help, but it wouldn't be pleasant to offend the Assistant to the Hokage.

After all, Natsume wasn't Tanzō Shimura. He was young and had a great chance of rising even higher.

What they'd be offending wasn't just the Assistant to the Hokage, but the future Hokage.

"May I ask what it is?"

Inoichi Yamanaka hesitated for a moment and then asked.

Sure enough, he was a smart guy.

Those who had reached this level couldn't possibly be blindly loyal.

Of course, there were always a few exceptions.

Natsume thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you heard of the name Shinno?"

"A bit."

Inoichi Yamanaka nodded and said, "I've heard he's a pretty good traveling doctor."

"The traveling doctor act is just a disguise. He was a ninja from the Hidden Air Village, aiming to deceive the ninja villages into giving up their ninjutsu."

Natsume fabricated the story and said, "The Hyuga ninjas from the Konoha Police Force discovered the plan that he was up to, arrested him, and obtained two really good [Medical Ninjutsu]. They plan to present them to my teacher."

The part about the Hyuga ninjas was true.

Kosuke Maruboshi was so upright that he was hard to persuade.

Hiashi Hyuga was more flexible, so it would be a piece of cake to give the Hyuga ninjas in the Konoha Police Force a little hint.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

Inoichi Yamanaka was extremely confused.

You've got everything sorted out. What's it got to do with me?

"You found these two [Medical Ninjutsu] on Shinno's corpse."

Natsume paused for a moment and then said, "But I can't give you Shinno's corpse. Instead, it'll be a corpse of an ordinary ninja."

Inoichi Yamanaka suddenly understood his plan.

The only thing to consider was whether these two [Medical Ninjutsu] were authentic.

Ninjutsu was like a precise machine. If a part was missing, it would malfunction.

If Natsume were to harm Tsunade, he could easily tamper with the [Medical Ninjutsu].

This made Inoichi Yamanaka unsure and he didn't dare to agree right away.

"Uncle Inoichi, my teacher is the most powerful [Medical Ninja] in the ninja world. Do you think she'd fail to spot something wrong with the [Medical Ninjutsu]?"

Natsume guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile, "I'm just having a hard time explaining the source, so I'm troubling you."

If Natsume, as Tsunade's apprentice, wanted to harm her, there were better and easier ways.

Why involve an outsider?

Inoichi Yamanaka thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Thanks."

In return, Natsume suggested, "Ino is my junior sister. I'll take good care of her."

Hearing this, Inoichi Yamanaka showed a hint of joy on his usually calm face.

With the Assistant to the Hokage looking out for her, Ino Yamanaka's future'll be a breeze.

Next came the refinement of the details.

The next day.

In the Hokage's office.

Tsunade was reviewing papers.

There was a knock on the door.

Inoichi Yamanaka walked in.

"Inoichi, what's up?"

Tsunade stopped what she was doing and asked.

"Please have a look, Hokage-sama."

Inoichi Yamanaka presented two medical kinjutsu[b]kinjutsu[/b], Body Activation[b]Body Activation[/b] and Body Regeneration[b]Body Regeneration[/b].

Tsunade opened them calmly, but soon showed a shocked expression.

In the original story, these were kinjutsu[b]kinjutsu[/b] that even Orochimaru desired.

As a medical ninja, she understood their value even better.

"Where did you get these?"

Tsunade asked seriously.

Inoichi Yamanaka immediately told her all the details he had discussed with Natsume.

"I've heard of Shinno. I didn't expect him to be the leader of the Hidden Air Village."

She let out a sigh and said, "It's a pity that our paths diverge. Otherwise, he would definitely be a top - notch medical ninja."

These two medical kinjutsu[b]kinjutsu[/b] were not far inferior to the Yin Seal.

Moreover, she could learn them.

This was undoubtedly a great boost to Konoha.

"You did a good job on this matter."

Tsunade smiled and said, "I'll have the secretary team reward you according to your contributions."

This incident not only prevented Shinno from stealing ninjutsu but also obtained two highly valuable medical kinjutsu[b]kinjutsu[/b].

Both morally and rationally, rewards were due.

After all, a less scrupulous person could have easily kept these two medical kinjutsu[b]kinjutsu[/b].

Using them personally or selling them would have been far more profitable than handing them over to Konoha.

Inoichi Yamanaka didn't refuse.

Refusing would have seemed unreasonable.

He thanked Tsunade and then left.

Half an hour later, Natsume rushed over.

"Sister, you look so happy. Why?"

He put down the papers and asked.

"Take a look at this."

Tsunade handed him the scrolls of Body Activation[b]Body Activation[/b] and Body Regeneration[b]Body Regeneration[/b].

"Looks pretty amazing."

Natsume quickly skimmed through them and said.

"Oh, it's way more than that."

Tsunade said with a smile, "These two kinjutsu[b]kinjutsu[/b] can solve the problem of medical ninjas' difficult survival. They're really a big help."

Natsume was slightly stunned. He hadn't thought that far.

He just thought that it was no wonder Tsunade was the one who proposed to have a fixed medical ninja in each ninja squad and established the medical system.

This chapter ain't over yet!

Although it wasn't easy to train these two kinjutsu[b]kinjutsu[/b], once successful, they could indeed greatly improve the survival rate of medical ninjas.

After all, in battle, medical ninjas were the first targets to be killed.

"Got it."

Natsume suddenly understood. Then, pretending to have a sudden inspiration, he asked, "Based on the effects of these two kinjutsu[b]kinjutsu[/b], can they significantly reduce the side effects of the Eight Gates[b]Eight Gates[/b]?"

Tsunade was stunned, then fell into deep thought.

After a moment, her eyes lit up slightly. She said, "It's indeed possible, but I have to test it to know for sure."

"Am I smart?"

Natsume walked around to the front and sat on her lap, enjoying the human seat.

"Yes, yes, yes. You're the smartest."

Tsunade crossed her arms. Remembering something, she said, "Let's have a baby in a few years."

"Ah?"

Natsume was a bit surprised and asked, "Why wait a few years?"

Given the current situation, he wouldn't be surprised if Tsunade got pregnant tomorrow.

"I'm the Hokage."

Tsunade wiggled her waist to make him lean more comfortably in her arms. "How can I be the Hokage if I'm pregnant?"

"Oh, I'll be the Hokage in a few years, and then you can take maternity leave."

Natsume understood what she meant, but then thought of a problem. "Can you control such things?"

"I'm a Medical Ninja and have the Yin Seal[b]Yin Seal[/b]."

Tsunade tapped his head and asked, "Are you looking down on me?"

"Sorry."

Natsume apologized at lightning speed.

"You're thinking bad thoughts again."

Tsunade frowned and pushed him away, looking all business-like. She said coldly, "I still have work to do. You can go."

"..."

Natsume hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

After all, getting things done is the most important.

Anyway, his goal had been achieved.

With these two medical Kinjutsu[b]Kinjutsu[/b] and the Eight Gates[b]Eight Gates[/b], Tsunade had completely become a Medical Ninja with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

In addition, Kabuto Yakushi and others would also benefit. It was quite a good deal.

[Because of your actions, the destinies of Tsunade, Kabuto Yakushi, Shizune, and Ino Yamanaka have changed. You have gained 37 destiny values.]

There was an unexpected gain.

Natsume returned to his office.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Natsume, who had been slacking off, immediately stood up and regained the proper demeanor of an Assistant to the Hokage.

"Mr. Natsume."

The person who walked in was Ino Yamanaka. As usual, she was wearing a tight-fitting top, revealing her fair and toned abdomen and navel.

It's a pity she's still young. Otherwise, in terms of her waistline, she'd be perfect.

"Mr. Natsume, are you free for lunch? I'd like to invite you to have a meal."

Ino Yamanaka was a bit nervous, but more expectant. Finally, she added, "It was my dad's instruction."

This was true.

Inoichi Yamanaka had cooperated with Natsume to a certain degree because of the Shinno incident and had received a friendly assurance.

He believed his daughter should show her appreciation.

"Sure."

Natsume never had the heart to turn down a pretty girl's invitation.

"Mr. Natsume, what would you like to eat?"

Ino Yamanaka immediately showed a smile and asked.

"Are we going to your house?"

Natsume said with a smile, "If so, anything is fine."

"I... I..."

Ino Yamanaka's face immediately turned crimson. She hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Natsume was a bit confused.

In the middle of the day, what else could you be thinking about?

"If Mr. Natsume doesn't mind, I can cook myself."

Ino Yamanaka took a deep breath and said quickly.

After saying that, she didn't dare to meet his eyes and lowered her head, like a criminal awaiting sentencing.

"Okay."

Natsume didn't refuse.

After tasting Tsunade's cooking, he was undaunted.

"You're still too young, girl."

Hearing this, Ino Yamanaka immediately looked up, her eyes shining, and said loudly, "I'll work hard!"

What an answer!

Natsume complained silently in his heart, but still said with a smile on his face, "I'm looking forward to it."

Ino Yamanaka quickly said goodbye and left. She also asked for leave from Shizune and ran back home to prepare lunch.

Time passed quickly.

Natsume arrived at the residence of the Yamanaka Clan.

Along the way, people kept greeting him.

Finally, he stopped in front of Ino Yamanaka's house.

Natsume knocked on the door.

Not long after, he saw Ino Yamanaka wearing a white apron open the door.

"Mr. Natsume, please come in."

She was still holding a spatula and looked extremely rushed.

"Thank you."

Natsume changed his shoes and entered the hall. He asked, "Aren't your parents at home?"

"Father is at the Hokage Building, and Mom is at the flower shop."

Ino Yamanaka said as she walked towards the kitchen, "Mr. Natsume, make yourself at home."

"Okay, go ahead with your work. Call me if you need help."

Natsume was still a little worried.

After all, she was quite young.

If something went wrong, it would be a big problem.

Fortunately, nothing like that happened.

Ino Yamanaka safely finished making lunch.

There weren't many dishes, just three.

Tempura, spinach pickled in broth, and miso soup.

"Not bad at all."

Natsume picked up a piece of fried shrimp, threw it into his mouth, chewed for a while, and praised, "Ino, you'll be a good chef in the future."

"Thank you!"

Ino Yamanaka immediately relaxed, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

For a moment, she looked very girlish.

She also popped a piece of fried shrimp into her mouth, and her cheeks puffed up slightly, looking as cute as a hamster eating.

This chapter isn't finished yet!

Ino Yamanaka noticed Natsume's gaze. She pretended to say casually, "If Mr. Natsume likes it, you can come to me anytime."

Her heart started pounding, and her free left hand twirled around her hanging golden hair.

"Sure."

Natsume said with a smile, "When I'm hungry one day, I'll come to you. Don't turn me away then."

"Definitely not!"

Ino Yamanaka waved her hand and immediately said, "No matter when you come, I can cook for you."

After saying that, she realized something was a bit off, and her face instantly turned red.

For her, it was like a confession.

After all, inviting a boy to her home anytime meant their relationship was extremely intimate.

"Thank you very much."

Natsume didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon.

The two of them went to the Hokage Building together.

"Mr. Natsume, I'm going to learn [Medical Ninjutsu] from Ms. Shizune!"

Ino Yamanaka was obviously in a great mood. She waved at him excitedly and bounced into the Hokage's bodyguard Office.

Natsume was infected by her mood and also smiled.

No wonder looking at pretty girls can add years to your life.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, another two-and-a-half-year had passed.

What Natsume did most during this period was to take on missions.

The reason was simple: to build up his credentials.

He was admitted as an Assistant to the Hokage in an exceptional and unorthodox way. If he didn't find a way, it would be even harder for him to convince the public when he became the Hokage.

I have to say that it's quite slow to complete missions during the peaceful era.

But fortunately, he was strong enough to choose the most difficult missions, which could make him famous quickly.

Well - informed ninjas in the ninja world all knew about him.

With Water Release[b]Water Release[/b] and Sage Mode[b]Sage Mode[/b], and being the apprentice of The Fifth Hokage, he was the leading figure among the new generation in Konoha Village.

With all these factors taken together, it was impossible not to know him.

In Konoha Village, he was well - known to everyone.

After all, when a genius emerged, everyone feels proud as it's an honor for the whole community.

In the Hokage's office.

"Sister, I've wrapped up the mission!"

Natsume appeared using the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b].

This was also one of the reasons why he was so efficient.

After feigning training for a year, he told Tsunade that he had successfully completed his training.

So now he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b] at will.

"Come here."

Tsunade waved and said.

Natsume walked to her in confusion.

"Congratulations."

Tsunade grabbed his hand and placed it on her belly, saying, "From today on, you're going to be a father!"

Natsume was struck dumb for a moment and then burst into joy.

She was pregnant.

He immediately hugged Tsunade and planted several kisses on her, babbling, "Thank you! Thank you!"

For him, it was the first time in his two lives.

"I should thank you."

A smile appeared on Tsunade's lips, and her eyes were filled with deep love.

She patted Natsume's back and leaned her face on his chest.

After losing her loved ones one by one, Tsunade thought she'd sink into darkness, but unexpectedly, someone pulled her back and now brought new life to her.

The smile on her lips gradually widened, and finally, happiness was extremely brilliant at this moment.

With about ten thousand words, by combining chapters and mentioning the average number of subs, it'll soon become a high - quality work. Once I get a badge, I won't combine chapters any longer. Speeding up the progress is to better write about Hinata and Ino. There won't be too many scenes for the protagonist's daughter. Just write some daily life. Besides, by the time they grow up, the ninja world will have been unified, and it won't be their turn to appear.
