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

"Indeed, Isshiki Otsutsuki isn't dead," said Kaguya Otsutsuki, withdrawing her gaze.

"As expected, he's a troublesome foe," sighed Natsume. "But you don't need to worry too much. He poses no threat at the moment."

"If I want to kill him, do you have a solution?" Kaguya Otsutsuki fixed her cold gaze on him.

This was the trust built over the years. Whenever she encountered something she couldn't handle, she'd turn to Natsume, and he'd always offer a perfect solution.

"Your question implies that to kill him, we have to break the seal first, right?" Natsume thought for a moment and asked.

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded.

Sure enough, Natsume understood her best.

She tilted her head slightly, and a hint of anticipation appeared on her face.

"If Isshiki Otsutsuki isn't dead, he must have left a back - up plan," Natsume said with a smile. "So, how about waiting for him to break the seal himself?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's snow - white pupils brightened.

Inside the seal, Isshiki Otsutsuki would definitely not be able to recover. In other words, breaking the seal would be his death sentence. And Natsume's guess was highly likely. Isshiki Otsutsuki, although arrogant, was not stupid. If he didn't leave a back - up plan, he would be completely sealed and unable to get out, which would be more painful than death for him.

"Okay, let's do it your way," Kaguya Otsutsuki agreed to his plan.

Because she didn't want to waste too much Chakra.

Thinking of Chakra, she thought of the God Tree.

"When should we start the Heavenly Network?" Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand and said uncertainly, "The state of the God Tree seems a bit strange. My connection with it is faint."

"Wait," Natsume held her hand and said, "Don't rush to summon the God Tree."

By now, Nagato should have summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the shell of the God Tree. However, as the true owner and possessing the more powerful Rinne - Sharingan than the Rinnegan, Kaguya Otsutsuki could easily reclaim the Demonic Statue. If that happens, things will get tricky.

"Why?" Kaguya Otsutsuki was a bit puzzled. Suddenly, she remembered that Natsume had talked with Hagoromo Otsutsuki before leaving.

Could the God Tree be related to him?

Before she could ask, Natsume had already admitted it on his own.

"The God Tree, or rather, the Ten - Tails, has been divided into nine Tailed Beasts. I asked Hagoromo to do this."

Previously, he did this to prevent historical changes. But the appearance of Isshiki Otsutsuki gave him another reason.

"Your Highness, the Goddess, think about it," Natsume said with a smile. "Isshiki Otsutsuki needs a large amount of energy to be resurrected, and currently, only the God Tree can provide it for him."

Kaguya Otsutsuki was slightly startled.

That makes a lot of sense.

Could he really have guessed this?

Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly felt lucky that Natsume was on her side. If he'd sided with Isshiki Otsutsuki, the outcome would've been unpredictable.

"So, it's obvious that Isshiki Otsutsuki's backup plan will be to break the seal after gathering the nine Tailed Beasts."

Natsume continued, "If Your Highness summons him now, it'll alert him. So, we just need to wait."

"What about the Heavenly Network?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki was far more obsessed with Chakra than Isshiki Otsutsuki.

"Of course, we'll build it."

Natsume watched the changing expressions on her cold face and couldn't help reaching out to pinch it.

She was so cute.

"Even without the God Tree, having you is just as good," Natsume said as he gently tucked a lock of her hair behind her delicate ear.

Kaguya Otsutsuki involuntarily showed a smile.

Right.

After devouring the fruit of the God Tree, she was no less powerful than the tree itself. She could use her Rinne - Sharingan as a server.

By then, the Chakra obtained would be directly recycled to her.

Moreover, the God Tree was only temporarily out of use.

After getting rid of Isshiki Otsutsuki, they could have it back.

"Where shall we go now?" Kaguya Otsutsuki asked in a cold tone.

"Well, to the Land of Snow," Natsume said as he held her hand. "I'm in charge there."

Suddenly, he stopped and sized up Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Her horns and Rinne - Sharingan were far too eye - catching.

She didn't look like an ordinary human at all.

"Can you hide your horns and eyes?" Natsume asked cautiously.

He was mainly worried about some taboos.

"Understood."

Kaguya Otsutsuki obediently complied.

Without her horns and Rinne - Sharingan, she looked like a member of the Hyuga clan.

But her aura was more noble.

Considering Kaguya Otsutsuki's strength, Natsume thought the White Zetsu would be caught as soon as they got close. So he wasn't worried that they would be exposed.

He cast the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b].

The two appeared at the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Snow.

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked around, and her gaze finally landed on a lamp.

She tilted her head, looking a bit confused.

Without fire and no sign of Chakra, how did it light up?

"This is an electric lamp," Natsume noticed her expression and explained. "It runs on electricity."

"What's electricity?" Kaguya Otsutsuki stared at the lamp and asked.

"..."

Natsume took a light breath.

I'm just an arts student.

How can I give a science lesson?

Fortunately, Yukie Kazahana came to his rescue.

"Oh, goodness!"

"Natsume..."

The smile on her face froze, and she involuntarily looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki.

She was immediately stunned by her amazing appearance and noble aura.

Yukie Kazahana showed a complex look in her eyes.

No wonder Natsume had shown no interest in her in the past few years.

It turned out he already had such an outstanding woman.

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't even glance at Yukie Kazahana.

Apart from Natsume, humans didn't arouse any interest in her.

In her view, this so - called electric lamp was more interesting.

Feeling Kaguya Otsutsuki's indifference, Yukie Kazahana bit her lip.

A bit angry.

But there was nothing she could do.

She really couldn't hold a candle to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Natsume noticed Yukie Kazahana's strange reaction and more or less guessed what she was thinking.

After all, she had made it quite obvious. 

To be honest, Yukie Kazahana is quite pretty.

But Natsume has a rather casual attitude towards her.

There isn't a particularly deep emotional bond, but he wouldn't refuse if she made a move.

Ahem.

Natsume asked, "Yukie, have you received the news about the alliance between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village? How long has it been?"

He wanted to confirm whether time had stood still or continued to pass here during the nearly three years he spent in the past.

Yukie Kazahana snapped out of her thoughts and said, "It was yesterday."

So time had remained static here.

Natsume heaved a sigh of relief.

If time had continued to pass, it would have meant he had been missing for three years.

That would have been a disaster!

Tsunade and the others would have been worried sick.

Now, there was no problem at all.

Maybe he could still make it back just in time to sign the alliance treaty with Sunagakure Village.

"Yukie, this is Miss Shinguji."

Natsume paused for a moment and made up a random name for Otsutsuki Kaguya. "Could you prepare a room for her?"

"She's going to stay here?"

Yukie Kazahana was a bit surprised.

In her opinion, Otsutsuki Kaguya seemed to be a princess from some country.

She exuded an air of haughtiness and nobility.

"Yeah."

Natsume added, "Next to my room, please."

Hearing this, Yukie Kazahana's face fell a bit, but she still turned around to make the arrangements.

"Your Highness, the Goddess, to avoid being detected by Otsutsuki Isshiki, please use Shinguji as your name for now."

Natsume turned to look at her.

Otsutsuki Kaguya seemed quite interested in the high-tech of later generations and had been observing.

Hearing what he said, she just nodded, looking nonchalant.

"Please follow me."

Natsume turned around and opened the door.

Otsutsuki Kaguya withdrew her gaze, took a few steps forward, and walked side by side with him.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the study.

"Here are the stories that have happened over the past thousand years."

Natsume casually picked up a book and handed it to her, saying, "Hagoromo is now respected as the Sage of Six Paths and is quite famous."

Otsutsuki Kaguya showed a bit of interest.

She sat down in the chair and opened the book.

"Your Highness, the Goddess, I'll come back later."

Natsume closed the door.

He used the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b].

He materialized in the Hokage's office.

Natsume put a finger to his lips, gesturing for Shizune to keep quiet.

Tsunade, in her sleeveless top, was lying on the Hokage's office desk, sound asleep.

Shizune covered her mouth and nodded.

She glanced at Tsunade and then, quite self-consciously, left the office with Tonton in her arms.

Although she really wanted to ask where Natsume had gone in the past two days, this clearly wasn't the right time.

It seemed she no longer had a place in this family.

Natsume slowly walked forward.

Maybe because she was too tired, Tsunade didn't notice his arrival.

Her upper body was tilted, easily revealing her charming curves.

Natsume hadn't discussed cooking with anyone for three years, and he suddenly felt a twinge of temptation.

"Hmm?"

Tsunade finally noticed the intense gaze.

She opened her eyes, a look of surprise immediately appearing on her face. She quickly stood up and hugged him.

Natsume also wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

It has to be said that when compared with Tsunade, Kaguya Otsutsuki might as well be a flat-chested girl.

Well, ahem.

This is really not just nonsense; it's based on personal experience.

"Why'd you come back so soon? I thought you'd be gone for ages."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and let his hands explore her skin.

Natsume didn't reply and bent down to savor the slippery jelly.

"Mmm..."

Tsunade blinked her eyes. She always felt that Natsume was overly enthusiastic today.

But she didn't refuse. Instead, she adjusted her position to fit more snugly into his embrace.

Soon, her eyes lost focus, leaving only affection.

The Hokage's office suddenly became lively.

Outside the door, Shizune's face flushed red. She put up a soundproof barrier.

She let out a breath. For some reason, she felt a bit hot.

Thinking of this, she hung a "Resting" sign on the Hokage's office door and quickly left.

Night fell. The sun, which had been radiating light and heat, finally set, and the fair moon rose to the zenith among the countless twinkling stars.

Natsume glanced at the sky condition. After gently kissing Tsunade's happy and tired sleeping face, he picked her up and returned home.

The three-year longing was finally relieved today.

He was worried about the pregnant Tsunade, so he had been very restrained.

After helping her take a bath, Natsume let her sleep peacefully.

As for him, he was going to see Mikoto Uchiha.

Mainly to ask if Sasuke Uchiha had awakened his eyes after meeting Mikoto Uchiha.

By the way, there was also a small matter: he planned to ask Mikoto Uchiha to use the Ame no Koyane no Mikoto[b]Ame no Koyane no Mikoto[/b] Dojutsu on Tsunade.

If their future child can inherit the talents of both of them, it would naturally save decades of hard work.

Three thousand words.
