There's an event this week. If, at the end of the week, we rank T50 and above on PS rankings, I'll release 5 bonus chapters. It's up to you now, xD.
This is different from a normal bonus, by the way.
....
Natsuki returned to the Senju clan residence.
After exchanging greetings with Kushina and the others, he went to the ANBU base.
Haru's squad and Taka's squad from the Fourth Division were both in the Land of Rain. Only Asahino's squad and Kenpei's squad were there.
"Help investigate the Chinoike clan."
After calling the two of them over, Natsuki directly instructed, "Especially a shinobi nad En Oyashiro."
Not using authority when he had it would be a waste.
He was now the captain of ANBU's Fourth Division and could use ANBU's power.
In theory, as long as it did not endanger Konoha, he could do whatever he wanted.
"Yes, Natsuki-sama."
Asahino and Kenpei accepted the order and left.
Natsuki fell into thought.
Perhaps the Uchiha clan also knew En Oyashiro's location.
Because back then, the ones guarding the Chinoike clan had been the Uchiha clan.
Although a long ti had passed, for a major shinobi clan, keeping archived records was standard practice. There might be related information.
Unfortunately, Natsuki was not familiar with the Uchiha clan.
The only Uchiha shinobi he knew was Mikoto.
The current Mikoto was not part of the Uchiha clan's leadership, so she probably did not know much.
He would first see whether ANBU could find anything.
Thinking this, Natsuki left the ANBU base and went to the Hokage building.
With his face acting as his pass, he took thirty-five ninjutsu scrolls, five for each of the seven chakra natures.
For Yin Release, he chose genjutsu.
Genjutsu was already very useful. On top of that, he still needed to unlock the Sharingan and Mangekyō Sharingan of the Kakashi Template.
When that happened, it would be strength piled on top of strength.
For Yang Release, he chose dical ninjutsu.
The Retsu Unohana Template also had Kaidō, which was similar to dical ninjutsu.
After unlocking it, he estimated that he could disguise himself as a dical Jonin.
Natsuki returned to the Senju clan residence.
Kushina and Nawaki were training.
Both of them were learning Armant Haki.
After training for so long, they had already learned four of the Six Powers.
It was just that Natsuki did not know the remaining two either.
He did not know when he would trigger a character template related to the Six Powers.
However, neither Kushina nor Nawaki absolutely needed to learn all six techniques.
The forr had a pile of fūinjutsu to learn.
The latter had a pile of Water Release to learn.
Even Tsunade was not idle. She had been learning the Strength of a Hundred Seal.
Natsuki greeted the two of them, then began training not far away.
Previously, he had been learning Lightning Release and developing Magnet Release. Now, another training task had been added, developing Lightning Release: Chidori.
Kakashi had developed Chidori during his youth.
Now that Natsuki had obtained his Seven Release Talent, the timing was just right. He was also in his youth.
The sun set in the west.
Tsunade and Nonō returned from Konoha Hospital.
When they saw Natsuki, both were sowhat surprised.
Nonō imdiately ran over to Natsuki.
Seeing this, Tsunade could not help laughing.
This kid's days in the future probably would not be easy.
Between Nonō and Kushina, no matter which one he chose, one side would be hurt.
Although Konoha's higher-ups all hoped Natsuki and Kushina would be together.
After all, once the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki had a bond, she would no longer defect from Konoha.
"How is the situation in Agakure?"
Tsunade asked casually.
"No major problems, but minor issues keep happening."
Natsuki answered, "But Amayado and the others can handle them."
After such a long investigation, they had already confird that Iwagakure's ANBU were causing trouble in Agakure.
However, they were extrely cautious and never appeared directly. They only secretly manipulated other Agakure shinobi.
This also led to small problems constantly appearing in Agakure.
But minor issues were still minor issues. Amayado and the others held an absolute advantage, so Natsuki did not need to intervene.
Once they caught Iwagakure's ANBU, it would not be too late for him to step in.
"Since there's nothing major happening in Agakure for now, why don't we go out on a mission?"
Nawaki asked with an expectant look.
Natsuki paused slightly when he heard this.
"The last ti our squad went on a mission was during the war with Agakure."
Nawaki complained, "How long has it been? Training every day will cause problems too."
"Nonō and I have our own missions to do."
Hearing this, Tsunade smiled and said, "Have Natsuki take you out. He's a Jonin now anyway."
Nawaki quickly looked at Natsuki.
"That works."
Natsuki thought of En Oyashiro.
Once they confird his location, he could accept a mission nearby and let Nawaki enjoy himself.
"Great!"
Hearing this, Nawaki imdiately bead with joy.
"I'm going too."
Nonō said without hesitation.
"My student doesn't side with ."
Tsunade shook her head and teased.
Nonō lowered her head in embarrassnt.
Kushina sighed. She wanted to go too.
But she knew she could not leave, so she did not say anything and did not trouble Tsunade or Natsuki.
"Kushina."
Natsuki finished his training and said, "It's ti for dinner. Let's cook together."
"Okay!"
Kushina's spirits lifted, and she imdiately beca happy.
She and Natsuki walked toward the kitchen.
Nonō hesitated for two seconds but did not follow.
Tsunade could not help chuckling.
Youth really was interesting.
And with Natsuki's strength and appearance, it was perfectly normal for girls to like him.
If she were the sa age as him, perhaps she would be the sa.
Of course, she was still young now, not even thirty yet.
It was just that among n her age, there were none she currently found appealing.
Tsunade quickly pushed those thoughts out of her mind and entered the living room with Nawaki and the others.
It had been quite a while since she had eaten Natsuki's cooking. She missed it a little.
Night fell.
Just as Natsuki was about to get into bed, he suddenly thought of sothing and went to Kushina's room.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
A mont later, the door opened.
"Natsuki?"
Kushina was sowhat surprised and asked, "Are you looking for ..."
Halfway through speaking, her face suddenly turned red.
Natsuki imdiately looked puzzled.
Why are you blushing?
"There's sothing I want to ask you."
Natsuki stated his purpose. "Can you control the Nine-Tails' chakra?"
Kushina froze. She had not expected Natsuki to co to her just to ask this.
"What's wrong? You can't?"
Natsuki thought that would be sowhat troubleso.
The reason Jinchūriki were powerful was because they could borrow the chakra of their tailed beasts.
Borrowing was also divided into two types.
If they could borrow it completely, they could fully transform into the tailed beast. This was what was known as a perfect Jinchūriki.
But to borrow all of it, the relationship between the Jinchūriki and tailed beast had to reach a certain level.
Most Jinchūriki found it difficult to reconcile with their tailed beasts and beco partners who depended on each other in life and death.
Therefore, perfect Jinchūriki were extrely rare.
But there were also situations where a Jinchūriki could not use the tailed beast's chakra.
Usually, that was because they had only recently beco a Jinchūriki and did not yet know how.
"I haven't tried."
Kushina ca back to herself and said, "But I should be able to."
She had learned from Uzumaki Mito how to borrow the Nine-Tails' chakra.
It was just that her fūinjutsu was not yet skilled enough, and she had not been a Jinchūriki for long. She was afraid of causing the Nine-Tails to go berserk, so she had never borrowed it.
"Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Kushina tilted her head and asked.
"I want so of the Nine-Tails' chakra."
Natsuki did not hide it and said directly.
A shinobi's chakra was difficult to preserve for long because there was too little of it.
But the chakra of a tailed beast was different. There was a lot of it, and it could exist for a long ti.
In the original work, there had been such a plot.
Kazuma, one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja of the Land of Fire's daimyō.
He had once collected scattered Nine-Tails chakra and sealed it inside his son, allowing him to create a small Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
"What do you need it for?"
Kushina asked with concern, "The Nine-Tails' chakra is very violent. It can easily hurt you."
"To try making a new potion."
Natsuki lowered his voice and reminded her, "Don't tell anyone else about this for now."
"This is our secret?"
Kushina's eyes lit up as she asked.
"Yes, a secret only the two of us know."
Natsuki paused slightly, then said, "When it makes money, I'll give you a share."
"I'm not short on money, and I don't have much use for it."
Kushina paused, then smiled and said, "You can keep it for . When I need money, I'll co to you."
"It's a deal."
Natsuki reached out and rubbed her head, then said, "Alright, rest early."
Kushina watched him leave before closing the door.
She let out a breath and threw herself onto the bed. Her small, fair feet kicked back and forth, showing her mood.
The next day.
After breakfast, Natsuki went out to buy the other dicinal ingredients needed for the Stamina Recovery Potion.
When he returned, Kushina pulled him into her room.
"I talked to the Nine-Tails today. It's willing to lend so chakra."
Kushina spoke.
"It agreed?"
Natsuki asked in surprise.
"I told it that your cooking is delicious and worth exchanging chakra for."
Kushina said proudly, "Of course it didn't believe , so I provoked it a little and easily got it to agree."
"You're really smart."
Natsuki paused slightly and praised her.
"Go make a bento now. I'll take it to eat."
Kushina smiled and said, "I think it will definitely like your cooking."
"Wait for ."
Natsuki got up and went to the kitchen.
He did not know what the Nine-Tails liked to eat.
But judging from the original work, it did indeed have a digestive system.
It had once swallowed Kinkaku and Ginkaku, only for them to rebel inside its stomach and eat its flesh.
The Nine-Tails could not bear it and spat them out.
Natsuki returned to Kushina's room and handed her the prepared bento box.
Kushina accepted the bento box, glanced at Natsuki, then turned around.
She lifted her clothes, revealing her smooth abdon and navel.
Chakra surged out, and she sent the bento box into the sealed space.
The Nine-Tails heard the sound of air being cut and opened its eyes.
Its chakra ford sothing like a hand, grabbed the bento box, and threw it into its mouth, box and all.
The Nine-Tails' originally indifferent expression suddenly changed.
The taste of the bento was completely beyond its expectations.
Ever since the Sage of Six Paths left, it had wandered through the shinobi world.
It did not need to eat. Occasionally, when it encountered sothing interesting, it would take a bite, but the taste was always quite ordinary.
"Nine-Tails."
Kushina's consciousness sank into the sealed space, and she asked, "Was it good?"
"Barely acceptable."
The Nine-Tails said disdainfully.
"That's impossible."
Kushina put her hands on her waist and said in disbelief, "Natsuki's cooking is definitely delicious."
"You humans always make such a fuss over nothing."
The Nine-Tails said arrogantly, "But I truly haven't eaten in a long ti. Bring more next ti, and I can lend you chakra."
After saying that, it casually waved a paw, and a stream of blood-red chakra surged toward Kushina.
Kushina's consciousness then returned.
She extended her hand, and a violent stream of chakra appeared.
Natsuki imdiately took out a summoning storage scroll.
Kushina sealed the chakra in her hand into it.
The tailed beast chakra was successfully obtained.
Another week passed.
ANBU base.
Natsuki sat at his desk and read the scroll Asahino had given him.
After a week of investigation, they had already found En Oyashiro's location.
To be honest, Natsuki had not expected it to be this fast.
But after reading the scroll, he understood why it had been so easy.
Because En Oyashiro was rather famous.
Although his fa did not co from his strength.
After leaving the Chinoike clan, he went to the Land of Lightning and founded a company called Wedge Real Estate.
He managed the company extrely well and beca one of the wealthy figures in the region.
Aside from that, he also opened a fighting arena.
Seeing this, Natsuki rembered a certain plotline.
En Oyashiro had a daughter nad Chino.
But from childhood, she and so other children had been forced to train together. She did not even know she was En's daughter.
After awakening the Ketsuryūgan in the fighting arena, she escaped together with a shinobi nad Fūshin and others from the arena.
They ford the Lightning Group, robbing the rich and helping the poor. In the end, they robbed the daimyō of the Land of Water and were discovered by Kirigakure's ANBU.
Only three of them escaped.
After Chino learned the origin of the Chinoike clan, she planned to take revenge on Uchiha Sasuke.
Naturally, she could not defeat him and was captured and brought back to Konoha.
At that ti, the Fifth Mizukage, Terumī i, learned of Chino's strength through ANBU and stepped forward to trade her back to Kirigakure.
From then on, she worked for Kirigakure.
After reading the scroll, Natsuki's first reaction was not to go fight En, but to find a way to bring Chino and Fūshin into Akatsuki.
He could not help laughing.
In the original work, Orochimaru also liked recruiting all kinds of geniuses.
But his goal was to choose a suitable vessel for Living Corpse Reincarnation.
However, as Orochimaru's student, it was not strange for Natsuki to have a bit of his mindset.
After thinking for a mont, Natsuki had an idea.
He planned to bring Nawaki and Nonō to the Land of Lightning.
Although Kumogakure was also in the Land of Lightning, En's location was very far from Kumogakure.
Unless they were especially unlucky, they would not run into the Third Raikage.
Even if they did, Natsuki could still stall him for a while and let Nawaki and Nonō escape.
In a sense, his Unlimited Blade Works was a divine skill for one-on-one combat.
If he pulled an enemy into the Reality Marble, and the enemy could not break it, then they temporarily could not escape.
Natsuki put away the scroll and returned to the Senju clan residence.
But he planned to return to the Land of Rain first.
After explaining the situation to Nawaki and the others, he did not waste any ti and left Konoha.
The next night, he arrived at the Land of Rain's tropolis.
"What took you so long?"
When Kakuzu saw him, he asked with so dissatisfaction.
Delaying his chance to make money was practically unforgivable.
"Buying dicinal ingredients took so ti."
Natsuki said casually.
"The Hero Water is inside."
Kakuzu handed him a summoning storage scroll and asked impatiently, "When do we start selling?"
"Give two days. I can make the first batch of Stamina Recovery Potions."
Natsuki paused, then asked in return, "How do you plan to sell them?"
"How to sell them?"
Kakuzu asked in confusion, "Didn't you already buy a shop?"
"Co over."
Natsuki waved to Yahiko and the others and said, "I'll give you a lesson today."
Kakuzu could not help frowning.
He was a veteran who had traveled the shinobi world for so many years. What lesson did he still need?
"This lesson is called publicity and marketing."
Natsuki smiled and said.
Overall, the shinobi world was still in a feudal era.
Although there were advanced technologies like electric lights and computers, very few people could afford to use them.
Coupled with shinobi being the dominant force, comrce was underdeveloped. Naturally, its publicity and marketing could not compare to his previous world.
For the Stamina Recovery Potion, Natsuki planned to use a celebrity effect, starting with the daimyō.
The daimyō would influence the nobles, creating a trend among high society, which would then spread to wealthy rchants.
As for ordinary residents, they definitely could not afford the Stamina Recovery Potion.
After all, the cost of the Stamina Recovery Potion was also high.
Especially Hero Water and tailed beast chakra. Very few shinobi could obtain them.
Natsuki would not lower the price.
Even among shinobi, only Jonin could afford to use it.
After listening, Kakuzu had only one feeling.
Compared to doing business, earning money every day through bounties in the underground black market was far too slow.
If he had been sowhat reluctant to join Akatsuki before, he was now willing from the bottom of his heart.
Because he believed Natsuki could definitely make money.
Yahiko and the others only half understood.
They were still too young.
But if they listened more, they would eventually understand.
"Alright, go do what you need to do."
Natsuki smiled and said, "I need to seclude myself and make the Stamina Recovery Potion."
After saying that, he entered his room.
Natsuki opened the summoning storage scroll and took out many pieces of equipnt.
The Land of Rain's conditions were too poor, and many pieces of equipnt were unavailable, so he had brought them directly from Konoha.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Nfirea Template Ability Four: Stamina Recovery Potion.]
With the successful creation of the first bottle of Stamina Recovery Potion, he also unlocked the final ability of the Nfirea Template.
After the ability unlocked, his proficiency was fully maxed out, and the speed at which he made Stamina Recovery Potions reached its peak.
By the morning of the third day, he had already made fifty bottles.
"Kakuzu, there are fifty bottles of Stamina Recovery Potion here."
Natsuki handed Kakuzu a summoning storage scroll and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
Kakuzu accepted the scroll and said, "You already explained what to do yesterday. I won't make mistakes with sothing this minor."
"Use shinobi thods when necessary."
Natsuki chuckled and asked, "I assu you won't care about those shinobi rules?"
"You really do suit my tastes."
Kakuzu was still sowhat surprised by these words.
After all, Natsuki was a Konoha shinobi.
He knew so shinobi from the Five Great Villages were extrely rigid and never used ninjutsu against non-shinobi, let alone against the daimyō of the Land of Rain.
