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

Natsume felt sorry for snatching the students of Kakashi Hatake.

But in reality, Kakashi had little left to teach.

In the original story, Naruto Uzumaki became a disciple of Jiraiya, and Sasuke Uchiha defected to Otogakure for further study.

Kakashi Hatake was just a tool in the early stages.

If it weren't for the Mangekyo Sharingan Obito Uchiha gave him, he'd end up being a nobody in the final chapter.

Not long after, all the graduates had assembled.

Mizuki began the class assignment.

Kakashi Hatake quickly took away three side characters.

Although they seemed quite excited, only Natsume knew they'd soon be sent back for retraining.

After all, Teacher Kakashi was very strict.

He only officially started serving as the team - leading Jonin when he met Team 7.

Before that, he was just slacking off.

"Team 9, Naruto Uzumaki."

Mizuki glanced at Naruto Uzumaki and continued, "Sasuke Uchiha."

"Sasuke, please take care of me from now on."

Naruto Uzumaki said with a big smile.

He never thought that, just as Minato Namikaze said, he'd be in the same class as Sasuke.

Sasuke Uchiha nodded expressionlessly.

He was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

At least he was aware of Naruto Uzumaki's strength and knew he wouldn't be a drag.

Thinking about it, he felt a bit annoyed.

Even after learning the Lightning Cutter[b]Lightning Cutter[/b], he still couldn't beat Naruto Uzumaki.

Because Naruto had learned a move called Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b] from God knows where.

"And Hinata Hyuga."

Mizuki paused and said, "Please step forward, you three. Your team - leading teacher is Lord Natsume."

"Big bro?"

Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki instantly exclaimed excitedly, "Yay!"

Hinata Hyuga was already aware of this, so she remained calm, though she was equally happy inside.

Only Sasuke Uchiha frowned.

Although Natsume had gained a reputation in recent years, he was still far too young.

In Sasuke's view, as a teacher, Natsume was no match for Kakashi Hatake.

At least both he and Kakashi had the Sharingan, which made them somewhat in the same lineage.

But Natsume was known for his Water Release[b]Water Release[/b], utterly incompatible with Sasuke's Fire Release[b]Fire Release[/b].

However, his two teammates seemed okay.

Sasuke Uchiha left his seat calmly.

"Hey, wait for me."

Naruto Uzumaki quickly chased after him.

Hinata Hyuga walked out gracefully at a leisurely pace.

It wasn't until she saw Natsume that she couldn't help but quicken her steps.

[Due to your actions, the fates of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, Kakashi Hatake, Sakura Haruno and others have changed. You've gained a total of 370 destiny points.]

Sure enough, they were the main characters.

Just by simply taking in students, they could contribute a decent amount of destiny points.

"Come with me."

Natsume reached out and stroked Hinata Hyuga's head.

Naruto Uzumaki was taken aback.

He had no idea the two were so close.

But that didn't really matter.

"Long time no see, big bro."

Naruto Uzumaki was quite enthusiastic.

"From now on, you should call me teacher."

Natsume corrected him.

In fact, he'd long wanted to change how Naruto Uzumaki addressed him.

After all, he still liked it when cute girls called him big brother.

Take Hinata Hyuga for example.

"Okay."

Naruto Uzumaki immediately corrected himself, "Teacher Natsume."

Natsume nodded and then looked at Sasuke Uchiha.

But he seemed rather reluctant.

Considering his personality, Natsume could probably guess the reason.

Well, he was asking to be given a good beating.

Natsume definitely had to fulfill his request.

The four of them walked to Training Ground No. 4, which was adjacent to the Death Forest.

"Let's all introduce ourselves casually," Natsume clapped his hands and said, "My name is Natsume. I like to discuss cooking skills. I don't really want to work. My dream is to live a carefree life. Oh, and one more thing, I don't really like coriander."

"Let me go first!"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his hand quite eagerly.

"Then go ahead," Natsume pointed at him.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I love Ichiraku Ramen. It's super delicious! I'll treat you guys later!"

Naruto immediately went off - topic, "Especially the pork bone ramen. It's a delicacy on earth."

"Get to the point," Natsume reminded him in time and interrupted him.

It seemed that if Naruto started talking about Ichiraku Ramen, he could talk for hours.

Natsume really didn't know why he liked it so much.

In Natsume's view, Ichiraku Ramen did taste good, but it wasn't so delicious that it would blow your mind.

"My dream is to become the Hokage!"

Naruto clenched his fist and said, "I want to protect everyone!"

In the original story, he was influenced by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now, it's Minato Namikaze who influences him.

Natsume thought to himself, Are you also a sunny and enthusiastic guy?

But for Naruto Uzumaki, it made perfect sense.

"Hinata," Natsume called her name.

"My name is Hinata Hyuga. What I like is..."

Hinata Hyuga glanced at Natsume and said, "I like flower pressing and eating chicken drumsticks. My dream is to become a powerful ninja and protect the family I want to protect."

Flower pressing, also known as pressing flowers, involves dehydrating, color - preserving, pressing, and drying plants to turn them into flat flower materials and then making them into beautiful decorative paintings.

This hobby was Hinata Hyuga's original setting in the story.

It hadn't changed now.

"It's your turn, Sasuke," Naruto Uzumaki patted him on the shoulder, with a curious look on his face.

This chapter isn't finished yet!

"Sasuke Uchiha. I don't have anything I like. I want to defeat... that man," Sasuke Uchiha introduced himself briefly with a straight face.

That man naturally referred to Itachi Uchiha.

The other three understood, so they didn't delve deeper.

"After the introductions, let's have a test," Natsume said with a smile, "We don't know each other well, and a test can strengthen the connection between us."

"What kind of test is it?"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately raised his hand and shouted.

"It's called the Bell Defense Battle," Natsume shamelessly copied Kakashi Hatake's test.

Actually, it wasn't really copying. It's a tradition in the Hokage lineage.

As a disciple of Tsunade, there was nothing wrong with him using this method.

"I'll place three bells on a tree. If you can grab them, you'll pass the test."

Natsume deliberately lowered the difficulty for them.

If he put the bells on himself, it would be nearly impossible to pass.

Unless he put them in the sea, it would be nearly impossible to pass in that case.

"What'll happen if we don't get them?"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly grasped the key point.

"Then you'll have to go back to school and retake the course."

Natsume scared them and said, "So, give it your all."

"Yes!"

Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga replied in unison.

Sasuke Uchiha put his hands in his pockets and coolly nodded.

"Take a good look at what the bells look like."

Natsume took out three bells. After waiting for a moment, he casually threw them, and they landed right on the big tree behind him.

"Can we start?"

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the bells hanging on the branches and asked.

"Wait, Sasuke. Let's discuss a strategy first."

Naruto Uzumaki quickly said, "Teacher Natsume is quite powerful. We can't be reckless."

Hinata Hyuga nodded upon hearing this.

She was the one among the three who knew Natsume's strength best.

After all, she had experienced it firsthand.

As for Naruto Uzumaki, he learned about it through Kurama and Minato Namikaze.

Natsume always felt there was a strong sense of disharmony.

The roles of the two were reversed.

In the original story, Naruto Uzumaki was extremely reckless.

Sasuke Uchiha, relatively speaking, was more normal.

But now that he was stronger, he instead wanted to be more straightforward.

"Start."

Natsume nodded, jumped onto the trunk, and said, "Good luck."

Saying that, he sat down and took out a copy of *Make Out Paradise*.

To be honest, there was a reason this novel was so popular.

Two words: real.

Jiraiya wrote about his own real experiences.

It gave Natsume a good understanding of the brothels in various countries.

It's just that the ways of having fun in these brothels were still not as thrilling as those in his past life.

Sasuke Uchiha didn't hesitate and threw out six Kunai.

Natsume raised an eyebrow and silently thought, "This is a bit interesting." 

This was Manipulated Shuriken Technique[b]Manipulated Shuriken Technique[/b].

The target of the six Kunai wasn't him.

Sasuke Uchiha tried to use the rubber rope in his hand to cut the branches with the Kunai so that the bells would fall.

Natsume naturally wouldn't let him have his way. He casually threw out a handful of Kunai and immediately knocked down the six Kunai.

The first attack didn't work.

Sasuke Uchiha wasn't discouraged. He glanced at Naruto Uzumaki and formed [Hand Seal].

Fire Release: Flame Bullet[b]Fire Release: Flame Bullet[/b]!

Fist-sized fireballs flew out one after another.

Naruto Uzumaki instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The fireballs bloomed like a flower.

The next second.

A huge stream of water rose and turned into Wall[b]Wall[/b], blocking all the fireballs.

When water and fire collided, fog rose.

Sasuke Uchiha slightly curled the corner of his mouth. This was the effect he deliberately created.

They had Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] and Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b]. The fog was actually an advantage.

"Yah!"

In the fog, countless Naruto Uzumakis rushed towards Natsume.

Sasuke Uchiha immediately leaped into the air and grabbed for the bells hanging on the treetop.

"Watch out!"

Hinata Hyuga opened her Byakugan, giving a warning while striking out with a single palm.

Her Chakra transformed into an invisible shockwave and was launched.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha was startled. He turned his head and saw a huge palm descending from the sky.

What the hell is this?

He quickly stepped back.

The palm hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Natsume dispelled the Partial Multi-Size Technique[b]Partial Multi-Size Technique[/b] and raised his left hand to meet Hinata Hyuga's attack.

Immediately, he felt a slight numbness in his palm.

"Not bad power."

Natsume gave Hinata Hyuga a look.

It made her blush shyly.

"Teacher Natsume!"

A group of Naruto Uzumaki clones charged forward again.

They had no real strategy at all. They just hoped to overwhelm the experienced one with sheer chaos.

Natsume stood still and punched the "kids" one by one.

But just then, his fist was caught.

The Naruto Uzumaki in front of him suddenly turned into Sasuke Uchiha.

His two - tomoe Sharingan[b]two - tomoe Sharingan[/b] quivered slightly.

The built - in Genjutsu was activated.

Natsume was immediately immobilized on the spot and then punched flying by Naruto Uzumaki.

"Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki was stunned.

Apparently, he didn't expect it to work.

"Quickly retreat!"

Hinata Hyuga dashed forward. A large amount of Chakra emerged from her hands and finally took the shape of a lion.

Although Natsume had told her about long - range attacks, she was still young. What she learned first was still the Gentle Fist.

Naruto Uzumaki was very obedient and immediately jumped backward.

But Sasuke Uchiha was a step slower.

To be more precise, he thought that the Genjutsu of his Sharingan wouldn't be easily broken even by a Jonin.

In his sight, Natsume landed and turned into a pool of water.

His pupils immediately constricted.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet[b]Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet[/b]!

A water dragon dropped straight down while Sasuke Uchiha was in a daze.

Hinata Hyuga punched out with both hands.

But before she could reach the water dragon, she saw it turn and leap over her head, knocking Sasuke Uchiha far away.

"Sasuke!"

The Naruto Uzumaki clones ran towards Sasuke Uchiha.

The Kage Clones were dispersed one by one.

Finally, the real Naruto Uzumaki caught him.

But both of them inevitably got soaked.

Natsume ignored them and appeared in front of Hinata Hyuga.

He reached out his hands and grabbed her wrists, cutting off her Chakra.

The lion heads on Hinata Hyuga's fists immediately dissipated.

She reacted quickly and delivered a sharp roundhouse kick.

"Good."

Natsume let go of her hands and grabbed her ankle instead.

He had originally thought that Hinata Hyuga would be timid when facing him.

Now it seemed that she could still strike hard.

Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Thirty - Two Palms[b]Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Thirty - Two Palms[/b]!

Hinata Hyuga immediately assumed a stance, and her hands slapped out rapidly like a storm.

"Naruto."

Sasuke Uchiha in the distance immediately pushed Naruto Uzumaki away and said, "Go get the bells."

As soon as the words fell, he ran towards Natsume.

At the same time, he formed Hand Seals.

An ear - piercing bird cry sounded.

He grabbed his right wrist, and countless lightning bolts gathered.

Natsume looked up at him.

Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha felt a dizzy spell.

When he opened his eyes again, Itachi Uchiha was standing in front of him.

His pupils shrank violently, and without hesitation, he launched the Lightning Cutter[b]Lightning Cutter[/b].

In less than a moment, regret flashed in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes.

It was a Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b].

What he had attacked was not Itachi Uchiha, but a tree.

"Sasuke, what the hell are you doing?"

Naruto Uzumaki was almost within reach of the bell when Sasuke Uchiha suddenly turned back and charged straight at him.

Without saying a word, he turned into a lumberjack on the spot.

The big tree fell.

Natsume stopped fighting with Hinata Hyuga and casually threw a Kunai[b]Kunai[/b], hitting the bell and making it land in the distance.

Sasuke Uchiha twitched the corner of his mouth, but his face was extremely solemn.

How could he have fallen for the Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] so easily?

It was simply incredible.

The Uchiha clan were natural masters of Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b].

People dared not look into the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] for fear of being caught in a Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b].

But he never thought that one day he would be the one caught.

"Watch out for Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b]."

Sasuke Uchiha gave a simple warning.

"I'll cover you guys."

Naruto Uzumaki immediately understood the reason, but he wasn't too worried.

Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu[b]Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu[/b]!

In an instant, the entire training ground was filled with people.

Natsume was taken aback and thought of a saying.

Give it up. There are Narutos everywhere out there.

It's really cool to have so much Chakra[b]Chakra[/b].

"Leaf Whirlwind[b]Leaf Whirlwind[/b]!"

All the clones of Naruto Uzumaki shouted in unison.

Suddenly, countless spinning tops spun.

A look of admiration flashed across Sasuke Uchiha's eyes.

As expected of Naruto Uzumaki.

Simple and brutal, but effective.

Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] was usually cast through the eyes, and now there were so many pairs of eyes.

It would be very difficult for Natsume to find the real body.

Sasuke Uchiha used the Transformation Jutsu[b]Transformation Jutsu[/b] again and blended into the crowd.

Hinata Hyuga spotted the bell with her Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b] and quickly ran over.

Because she knew that no attack could harm Natsume.

Hinata Hyuga picked up the bell and turned around to see a huge waterfall[b]waterfall[/b] crashing down from the sky and turning into a lake.

Bang, bang, bang.

The shadow clones of Naruto Uzumaki quickly dissipated.

In the end, only his real body and Sasuke Uchiha were left.

But the two of them were helpless and were filled with a bellyful of water.

"Congratulations, you've passed the test."

Natsume clapped his hands and said, looking at Hinata Hyuga who was holding the bell and waving with a smile in the distance.

Only Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki were spitting out water desperately.
