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

Returning to the Hokage Building, Natsume felt quite emotional.

To outsiders, he had only been gone for two days, but in reality, it had been three years.

"Lady Tsunade... Natsume?"

Kurenai Yuhi's red lips parted slightly, looking rather surprised.

"Sister Kurenai."

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

Kurenai Yuhi wasn't wearing that lady's uniform and pencil skirt. Instead, she had changed back into her previous outfit.

The implication was all too obvious.

Was it for his sake?

Natsume flashed a gentle smile and asked, "Are you that surprised to see me?"

"Since Lady Tsunade suddenly took over, I thought you might not come back so soon."

Kurenai Yuhi came to her senses and explained.

In fact, it was far more than that.

Lady Tsunade is back in power. Many speculated that Natsume might have been seriously injured in the previous battle and needed rest.

Although the Senju Kannon[b]Senju Kannon[/b] jutsu was extremely terrifying, it was well - known that the more powerful a ninjutsu, the greater its side effects.

It was quite normal to have such a conjecture.

But now seeing Natsume return safe and sound, she immediately felt relieved.

Well, she'll wear the secretary uniform again tomorrow.

When Tsunade took over, she thought it was inappropriate, so she didn't wear it.

"Glad you're back."

Kurenai Yuhi sized him up and said, "I'm more used to dealing with you."

"Your words will make the teacher angry if she hears them."

Natsume couldn't help but smile.

"Then don't let her know."

Kurenai Yuhi blinked her eyes, looking a bit mischievous.

Suddenly, her aura became more alluring and charming.

"Of course, I'll follow what Sister Kurenai says," Natsume said, not minding her joke. "The teacher definitely won't know."

"These are the alliance conditions drawn up by the secretary group."

Kurenai Yuhi pursed her lips. In a good mood, she took a few steps forward with her long legs and placed the document on the table.

"Okay."

Natsume opened the document.

There weren't many conditions on it, but each one was quite crucial.

First, Gaara had to stay in Konoha.

Second, they had to hand over the Puppet Master Jutsu[b]Puppet Master Jutsu[/b] of Sunagakure Village.

Third, half of the mission volume given by the Land of Wind should be allocated to Konoha Village.

Well...

With these three conditions, Sunagakure Village would hardly have a chance to make a comeback.

Natsume stroked his chin.

Sunagakure Village definitely wouldn't agree.

But might makes right.

After a few more rounds of negotiation, they'd probably have to grit their teeth and agree.

However, Natsume had a better idea.

That was the Heavenly Network[b]Heavenly Network[/b].

There were so many ninjas in Sunagakure Village. How could they be wasted?

It could both harvest chakra and obtain destiny value.

Why not do it?

There was a rule in the Tamaki of Destiny[b]Tamaki of Destiny[/b] that controlled ninjas couldn't continuously produce destiny value.

But the Heavenly Network[b]Heavenly Network[/b] made them do things voluntarily in the form of missions, not by control.

"Who is coming from Sunagakure Village for the negotiation?"

Natsume looked up and asked.

"It's Advisor Chiyo of Sunagakure Village."

Kurenai Yuhi replied immediately.

Chiyo?

Natsume sucked in a sharp breath and quickly tossed those inappropriate thoughts out of his mind.

Damn it!

It's all those crazy netizens from his past life that gave him such a fixed - idea.

After Rasa and Gaara were captured, only Chiyo and Ebizo in Sunagakure Village still had high prestige.

Natsume wasn't surprised.

"Where is Rasa now?"

"He's being held by the Anbu."

Kurenai Yuhi added an explanation, "Since he's the Kazekage, it's a matter of great importance, so he's not in Konoha's prison for serious criminals."

Konoha's prison for serious criminals, namely Konoha Prison, is under the management of the Konoha Police Force.

Actually, the prison is quite secure.

However, its location is well - known, so there's a high possibility that Sunagakure Village will attempt a prison break.

When he's held by the Anbu, only a few people know where he is.

In terms of security, it was obviously superior.

"I want to talk to Chiyo and Rasa alone."

Natsume put down the documents and said, "Go and make preparations. It'll be in the meeting room, and no one else is allowed to get close."

"Yes."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded. Although she was puzzled, she didn't ask.

Previously, Tsunade had ordered an open negotiation to show Konoha's victory in front of many Jonin.

Natsume's plan was completely the opposite.

But Kurenai Yuhi knew her place.

She would be loyal to whoever was the current Hokage.

"Sister Red, how is Yakumo Kurama now?"

Natsume suddenly remembered that little girl with the special Genjutsu Kekkei Genkai.

"She wants to become a ninja, but her body won't allow it."

A look of worry appeared on Kurenai Yuhi's face as she said, "If this continues, her health will gradually deteriorate."

"You don't need to stop her."

Natsume knew what was wrong with her body.

He couldn't handle it before, but now he could solve it.

Kurenai Yuhi paused and looked at his face.

She was originally puzzled, but then she remembered the look on his face when he showed his great power that day and immediately felt relieved.

With such strength, he should be able to cure Yakumo Kurama.

"Let her come to me when I'm free in a couple of days."

Natsume thought for a while and said.

"Yes."

Kurenai Yuhi bowed slightly, and the black mesh on her upper body squeezed out a flesh - colored outline.

Natsume was slightly stunned.

She really knows how to hide it.

How come he only just noticed such a big thing?

Oh!

Natsume leaned back on the Hokage's soft chair and stretched as he watched her back as she left.

He didn't really have any ulterior motives.

But as a man, it was normal to look at a beautiful woman, right?

After Natsume slacked off for half an hour, the door of the Hokage's office opened again.

It was Ino Yamanaka.

"Mr. Natsume!"

The girl's voice went up, sounding very youthful and lively.

Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she continued, "Mr. Natsume, you're so amazing!"

Ino Yamanaka was undoubtedly referring to the incident a few days ago when he beat up the ninjas from Sunagakure Village.

Girls always have a hero complex.

Natsume definitely met that standard.

Moreover, he was the one she liked.

Well, double the joy.

Being stared at by such a pretty girl with such an admiring look, Natsume was also quite happy.

He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's not worth mentioning."

Mr. Natsume is really not an ordinary person.

If it were someone else, they would have spread the news all over the world.

Ino Yamanaka looked at him with even brighter eyes.

Hehe, the man I've taken a fancy to.

She subconsciously bit her lip and asked, "Mr. Natsume, I wonder if you can take me out with you next time?"

Ino Yamanaka stepped forward aggressively.

Natsume was a bit surprised. Looking at her cute face, he couldn't help smiling.

"Isn't learning [Medical Ninjutsu] boring?"

"No."

Ino Yamanaka quickly shook her head and said, "I think I can make faster progress through actual combat, so I want to go out on missions with Mr. Natsume."

She came up with a good excuse.

Natsume's gaze fell on her fair forehead and he asked, "How's your progress with the [Yin Seal]?"

Under the guidance of Teacher Tsunade, she has been learning [Medical Ninjutsu] for over three years.

In the original story, Sakura Haruno took three years.

Even if she was a bit slower, she should have achieved some results.

"The teacher said I'm young and the speed of accumulating Chakra is relatively slow, so it'll take me more time."

A smile appeared on Ino Yamanaka's face. Then she changed the subject and said, "It'll take at most one more year to complete the training."

"It seems your level as a [Medical Ninja] is quite good."

Natsume thought for a moment, then nodded under her expectant gaze and said, "I'll take you out next time."

Ino Yamanaka waved her arms excitedly.

Her blonde hair scattered freely with her movements.

She reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing."

Natsume smiled and said, "As the [Hokage], how can I refuse a pretty girl's request?"

Pretty girl?

Ino Yamanaka's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously lowered her head and her face turned red.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

She suddenly raised her head in a panic.

But the next moment, she was stunned.

Why am I panicking?

Ino Yamanaka took a deep breath, and her slender and well - toned waist and abdomen rose and fell slightly.

"Mr. Natsume, I won't disturb you anymore."

She opened the door, glanced at Kurenai Yuhi, and then quickly left.

Ino?

Kurenai Yuhi came to her senses. As a woman, she had noticed the remaining blush on Ino's face.

Obviously, she has feelings for Natsume.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising.

Natsume is simply too outstanding.

As the [Hokage], he has a high status, strong strength, and good looks.

Which young girl could resist his charm?

Kurenai Yuhi sighed, then regained her normal expression.

"Natsume, Grandma Chiyo and Rasa are waiting in the meeting room."

"Okay."

Natsume got up and headed for the meeting room.

Kurenai Yuhi stopped at the door. She neither went in nor left, but stood guard at the door.

She serves as both the [Hokage]'s secretary and bodyguard.

It's reasonable for her to stand here.

Natsume opened the door.

Chiyo and Rasa immediately stopped talking and turned their eyes to him.

Their expressions were different.

Rasa had seen Thousand Hands Manipulation Force: Thrust[b]Thousand Hands Manipulation Force: Thrust[/b] and Summit Enlightened Thousand-Armed Cannon[b]Summit Enlightened Thousand-Armed Cannon[/b].

When he saw Natsume again, he recalled what had happened a few days ago, so a look of fear naturally appeared on his face.

He figured he'd never forget that extremely terrifying scene for the rest of his life.

After the fear came regret.

If it hadn't been for Danzo Shimura's incitement, how could he have had such inappropriate thoughts?

Under normal circumstances of Sunagakure Village, he'd never have considered starting a war against Konoha.

Damn Danzo Shimura!

Rasa cursed incessantly in his heart.

Although Chiyo didn't participate in that battle, she knew the general situation.

She was more composed than Rasa.

In the game of winners and losers, there was nothing more to say.

Moreover, Rasa's judgment wasn't wrong at all.

The only problem was that Natsume's strength far exceeded expectations.

Thinking that he was Tsunade's apprentice, Chiyo couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

The Second Great Ninja War.

There had been a confrontation between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village.

At that time, Chiyo was one of the most powerful puppet masters and also a master of poison.

With her amazing poison, Sunagakure Village once gained the upper hand.

Until Tsunade showed up and cracked all her poisons.

Coupled with the fact that Sakumo Hatake, the Legend of the White Fang of Konoha, killed her son and daughter-in-law.

Eventually, Sunagakure Village's efforts ended in failure.

Chiyo regarded Tsunade as her lifelong rival and always hoped to defeat her someday.

But unexpectedly, her apprentice was even better and pushed Sunagakure Village to the brink.

Konoha Village truly had a continuous stream of talents.

"Grandma Chiyo, I've long heard of your name," Natsume greeted with a smile. "I often heard my teacher mention you."

Actually, he hadn't.

Tsunade wouldn't talk about the Second Great Ninja War.

What he meant was that in his past life, he really had long heard of her name.

Chiyo was slightly stunned.

He seemed easier to talk with than she'd imagined.

Chiyo nodded and said, "Hokage-sama, you're young and promising. I'm truly impressed."

Three thousand words.
