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

Hinata Hyuga wasn't chatting like Kiba Inuzuka and the others. Instead, she stared with her Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b], carefully observing the fight between the two.

After watching for a moment, she felt a sense of disharmony.

Naruto Uzumaki seemed overly experienced.

Normally, with his two-tomoe Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b], Sasuke Uchiha should be able to completely see through Naruto Uzumaki's movements and anticipate his actions.

But that wasn't the case. Instead, Sasuke Uchiha was fighting with constraints.

The roles of the two had reversed at this moment.

It was as if it was Naruto Uzumaki who had activated the two-tomoe Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b], not Sasuke Uchiha.

Undoubtedly, this was thanks to Minato Namikaze.

Not to mention a two-tomoe Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b], he could even gain the upper hand when fighting Obito Uchiha with the Mangekyo Sharingan[b]Mangekyo Sharingan[/b].

Sasuke Uchiha was still too inexperienced and was being toyed with by three people.

Suddenly, Hinata was startled.

She turned around and found that it was Natsume who had just tapped her on the shoulder.

Natsume put a finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet.

Hinata nodded and stepped out of the crowd, standing beside him at the edge of the field.

"How do you feel? Can you beat them?"

Natsume watched Sasuke Uchiha's fancy Manipulated Shuriken Technique[b]Manipulated Shuriken Technique[/b] and thought of Itachi Uchiha.

He wondered if Itachi Uchiha had joined the Akatsuki organization[b]Akatsuki organization[/b] by now.

After activating the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b], Sasuke Uchiha's vision had been greatly enhanced, allowing him to fully display his skills in throwing ninja tools[b]ninja tools[/b].

Moreover, this technique didn't consume much Chakra[b]Chakra[/b], making it an essential skill for Genin[b]Genin[/b] and Chunin[b]Chunin[/b].

"It's difficult."

Hinata thought carefully and said, "If I could get close enough to hit their acupuncture points[b]acupuncture points[/b], I might be able to defeat them."

The Gentle Fist[b]Gentle Fist[/b] of the Hyuga clan[b]Hyuga clan[/b] is actually quite powerful.

When combined with the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b], Chakra[b]Chakra[/b] can be injected into the enemy's body, destroying their meridians and internal organs, thus achieving victory.

In the ninja world[b]ninja world[/b], it is very difficult to train internal organs.

Theoretically, it is very dangerous to let a Ninja[b]Ninja[/b] from the Hyuga clan[b]Hyuga clan[/b] get close.

One slight mistake, and you could lose your combat ability.

But unfortunately, there were too many powerful opponents in the later stages.

There was simply no chance to get close.

"Why don't you try to hit their acupuncture points[b]acupuncture points[/b] from a distance?"

Natsume asked with a smile.

"From a distance?"

Hinata replied matter-of-factly, "Because the Gentle Fist[b]Gentle Fist[/b] is a close-range Taijutsu[b]Taijutsu[/b]."

"But don't you think it would be more convenient from a distance?"

Natsume reached out and stroked her hair, saying, "If there were a long-range Gentle Fist[b]Gentle Fist[/b], combined with the range of the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b], you could subdue the enemy very safely."

"Seems... you're right."

Hinata was somewhat convinced and felt that it did make sense.

But why didn't the Hyuga clan[b]Hyuga clan[/b] have long-range attack methods?

With the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b]'s exaggerated visual distance and range, if they used Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b] or something similar, they should be able to strike first, right?

The Hyuga clan[b]Hyuga clan[/b] can learn Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b].

But since the Gentle Fist[b]Gentle Fist[/b] is already very difficult to master, no one wastes time learning Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b] other than the Gentle Fist[b]Gentle Fist[/b].

"Hinata, you can try to develop a new Gentle Fist[b]Gentle Fist[/b] in the future."

In fact, Natsume could also help her, like using some destiny value[b]destiny value[/b].

But there is no rush. They can talk about it when she grows up.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga hastily shook her head. "I... I don't have that talent."

Developing ninjutsu is far more difficult than learning it.

Among the ninjas in Konoha, those who can develop new ninjutsu multiple times are extremely rare.

The most classic example is the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Whenever there's an unknown forbidden jutsu, it's usually attributed to him.

Just like Danzo Shimura always taking the blame, it has become a common practice.

Natsume squatted down and looked at her. After making Hinata blush to the roots of her hair, he said, "I believe in you."

"I... I..."

Hinata was so flustered that she started babbling incoherently.

Natsume pinched her soft and warm little face and then stopped teasing her, lest she faint.

He looked at the battle in the arena. It had now reached the most critical moment.

Sasuke Uchiha originally wanted to easily defeat Naruto Uzumaki with his two-tomoe Sharingan and win back the glory of the Uchiha clan.

But he found that the situation was far beyond his expectations, and he couldn't hit at all.

After several probes, he began to form hand seals with both hands.

The first ninjutsu was the most representative Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique[b]Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique[/b] of the Uchiha clan.

In the past, Naruto would use Wind Release ninjutsu to counterattack, but not today.

The fireball burned his clone.

The real body appeared behind Sasuke and punched out.

Because of the Sharingan, although this punch was very fast, it was still detected.

Sasuke subconsciously raised his arm to block.

A dull, thunderous sound rang out.

His face changed.

What a powerful force.

Sasuke quickly retreated.

Naruto formed hand seals with both hands.

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

Three Narutos rushed towards Sasuke.

"All of them are real?"

Sasuke's pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't dare to be negligent. He put one hand to his mouth, and his chakra transformed into a barrage of flame bullets.

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

The three Narutos were immediately hit by the flame bullets and burned.

Seeing this, Sasuke's face lit up with joy.

I've finally defeated this guy!

But the next moment, a gust of evil wind came.

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

Naruto descended from the sky and smashed down on Sasuke with a high-speed spinning kick.

A scream.

Sasuke flew out and landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The battle isn't over yet!

Naruto quickly stepped forward and reached out to support him.

"Don't touch me!"

Sasuke's face turned a little pale. He impatiently pushed Naruto's hand away and struggled to get up.

"Sasuke, you were so amazing today!"

Naruto gave him a thumbs up and sincerely praised him.

If it weren't for Minato Namikaze's guidance, he might not have been able to defeat Sasuke.

Unless he used Kurama's power.

But that would be pure bullying.

Both Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze had said that unless it was absolutely necessary, he shouldn't use Kurama's power to avoid forming a dependence.

"Wait, next time I'll definitely win."

Sasuke snorted coldly, turned around expressionlessly, and left.

However, he had already noticed the change in Naruto and also learned something.

Three words: Use your brain.

Today, Naruto Uzumaki clearly fought very smartly.

Sasuke Uchiha took a deep breath. He had to be smarter than Naruto Uzumaki.

In fact, he had already realized that this battle was the easiest one for him.

Although he lost to Naruto Uzumaki in the end, the pressure was indeed not that great.

The Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] is truly the best eye.

Thinking about this, Sasuke Uchiha headed home.

He didn't even notice Sakura Haruno running up behind him.

Natsume withdrew his gaze.

Hinata Hyuga had returned to normal.

"Let me walk you home."

Just as Natsume was leading Hinata to the school gate, they were caught by Rinka Hyuga.

"Natsume, thanks for your help again."

Rinka Hyuga issued an invitation gently, "Come to my place for a meal?"

Her attitude almost made Natsume think that he had already joined the Hyuga clan in advance.

But he still chose to decline.

Because he had to go home to accompany Tsunade.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for a day, and they needed to pour out their hearts to each other.

Rinka Hyuga didn't get angry. She pulled Hinata, who was reluctant to leave, and left the Ninja Academy[b]Ninja Academy[/b].

The Hokage Building[b]Hokage Building[/b].

Standing in front of the Hokage's office[b]Hokage's office[/b], Natsume knocked on the door.

He knocked because there was more than one person inside.

Otherwise, he would have just slipped in.

After getting a response from Tsunade, Natsume opened the door and saw Ino Yamanaka.

She was pressing a dying rooster with both hands, trying to revive it.

Natsume was slightly stunned. Why not a fish?

He remembered that in the original story, the starter prop for Sakura Haruno to practice Medical Ninjutsu[b]Medical Ninjutsu[/b] was a fish.

Why was it a rooster now?

Well, showing your true colors, are you?

Hearing the sound, Ino Yamanaka instinctively turned to look, and that's when things went wrong.

The rooster twitched twice and died completely.

"Teacher, I'm sorry..."

Ino Yamanaka blushed and quickly apologized.

"It's okay."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "You're just starting out. It's normal to be unskilled."

Ino Yamanaka let out a sigh of relief.

Actually, she didn't know much about Tsunade's personality, so she was being so polite.

After all, this was the Hokage[b]Hokage[/b].

Offending her would be a huge problem.

"That's enough for today," Tsunade said, looking at the sky. "It's getting late. Continue practicing tomorrow."

"Yes."

Ino Yamanaka bowed slightly, then turned around. When she passed by Natsume, she stopped to say hello.

After watching her leave, Tsunade snorted and said, "You're quite good at seducing young girls."

Ino Yamanaka's mistake just now was obviously caused by seeing Natsume.

"Slander! It's definitely slander!"

Natsume smiled and stepped forward to hug her, saying, "I definitely haven't seduced anyone, except you."

"Smooth-talking!"

Tsunade forcefully pressed him into her arms, as if trying to suffocate him.

The fragrance filled his nostrils, and Natsume really almost passed out.

I'd totally endure this 'torture' every day.

He got all pushy, like he was trying to break into this 'evil abyss'.

"You bastard!"

Tsunade pushed him away, gave him a light tap on the head, and said, "Behave yourself!"

Natsume wisely didn't continue.

Although it was fun to flirt, there should be a limit.

"You're the Assistant to the Hokage now. What do you plan to do with Root?"

Tsunade got down to business, saying, "Not long ago, we caught those Root members. We've already removed the Seal of Tongue Annihilation from them, but it'll take them a while to get over the shadow of Danzo Shimura."

"It's okay. Let them become ordinary ninjas."

Natsume didn't want to use the ninjas trained by Danzo Shimura. Who knew when they might stab him in the back.

"That's what I was thinking too."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Root is equivalent to the Anbu. Loyalty is a must."

She cared more about Natsume's safety than her own safety.

The past tragedy couldn't happen again.

Unless someone stepped over her corpse.

"I don't need Root."

Natsume thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Root's existence is a thorn in the side of many ninja clans and ninjas. There's no need to rebuild Root."

Danzo Shimura had two criteria for selecting Root members: one was genius, and the other was a certain darkness in their hearts.

Leaving the latter aside, the former had already offended many ninja clans.

Such as the Aburame clan and the Yamanaka clan.

No ninja clan wanted to see the geniuses in their clan being used by others.

"No, you need someone to protect you."

Tsunade frowned and said, "The ninja world isn't safe. You're the Assistant to the Hokage, in a high - ranking position, and nominally my apprentice. Many people will cause you trouble."

The simplest case is the black - market bounties.

All the well - known ninjas in Konoha were on the list.

For example, the well - known Asuma Sarutobi had a bounty of thirty - five million Ryo.

Although Natsume hadn't been to the black market, he estimated that once it was made public that he was the Assistant to the Hokage, the bounty on him would definitely be higher.

"I..."

"Don't say you don't need protection."

Tsunade interrupted him preemptively and said, "If not, choose two from these Wood Release ninjas."

"Wood Release ninjas?"

Natsume subconsciously took the documents and found that all of them were ninjas from the Sarutobi clan.

Currently, since Hiruzen Sarutobi had just retired, there was no need to worry about their loyalty.

Coupled with Wood Release, they were indeed suitable candidates.

"I'm not used to having someone protect me."

Noticing the change in her expression, Natsume quickly said, "I want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b]."

"The Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b]?"

Hearing this, Tsunade was stunned for a moment. She naturally knew about the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b].

If Natsume could learn it, he really wouldn't need protection anymore.

Back then, Minato Namikaze used this Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b] to move around the battlefield freely as if there were no opponents to stop him.

It was just extremely difficult to learn.

"Now that Sister is the Hokage, I should have permission to read the Scroll of Seals[b]Scroll of Seals[/b], right?"

Natsume asked with a smile.

He could take this opportunity to stop hiding his knowledge of the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b]. This would make things much more convenient for him in the future.

Well, he also wanted to take a look at the Scroll of Seals[b]Scroll of Seals[/b].

This Scroll of Seals[b]Scroll of Seals[/b] contains all of Konoha's forbidden jutsu.

"Yeah.

Tsunade gave a grunt and replied, "You should try training first. If it doesn't work, I'll assign two bodyguards to you."

"By the way, Sister, have you ever thought about having Wood Release[b]Wood Release[/b]?"

Natsume waved the documents in his hand and said, "The transplantation technique is quite safe now."

Tsunade was silent for a moment and then shook her head.

She couldn't bring herself to accept the transplantation of her grandfather's cells.

Natsume thought to himself, just as he expected.

It was the right decision for him to give up transplanting Hashirama cells[b]Hashirama cells[/b] before.

The Wood Release potion[b]Wood Release potion[/b] is different. It's been made into a kind of medicine and won't affect one's own cells.

"But I think it's worth researching," Natsume said, spouting nonsense. "Wood Release is a Kekkei Genkai[b]Kekkei Genkai[/b]. Theoretically, all members of the Senju clan[b]Senju clan[/b] could potentially awaken it; it's just recessive at the moment. If we can stimulate it, perhaps you could awaken it too, Sister."

He wasn't sure if what he said was true or false.

But in the original story, there was a ninja named Moegi Kazamatsuri[b]Moegi Kazamatsuri[/b] who awakened Wood Release[b]Wood Release[/b].

If Wood Release[b]Wood Release[/b] was said to come from the God Tree[b]God Tree[/b], her existence seemed rather unreasonable.

Perhaps it really was the Kekkei Genkai[b]Kekkei Genkai[/b] of the Senju clan[b]Senju clan[/b].

But for Natsume, it was all a pretense.

If the research could help Tsunade awaken Wood Release[b]Wood Release[/b], that would be great.

If not, he'd wait a few more years and exchange for it with destiny value[b]destiny value[/b].

Hearing this, Tsunade was indeed a bit tempted.

Wood Release[b]Wood Release[/b] was too special for her.

Tsunade suddenly burst into laughter, rubbing his face with both hands, and asked, "Do you think I'm useless, Natsume?"

"The stronger you are, Sister, the better you can protect me," Natsume said with full justification. "Then I can slack off without a care!"

In other words, rich woman, I'm starving. Feed me.

"Ha! How dare you slack off?!"

Tsunade increased the pressure, kneading his face into all sorts of shapes, and finally couldn't help but kiss him.

The battle was ignited.

Natsume immediately launched a counterattack.

He fully redeemed the previous reward[b]reward[/b].

Then the music played, and the dance went on.

The Hokage's office[b]Hokage's office[/b], which should have closed for the day, kept fulfilling its purpose as the melodious music echoed non - stop.
