"Are you awake?"

Natsume held a bowl of porridge and pushed the door in.

Uchiha Mikoto, who was in a daze, suddenly became agitated, and hurriedly pulled up the sheet to cover her body.

Cover your ears and steal the bell.

Natsume smiled, put the porridge on the table, and said, "Get up and eat." ”

Smelling the aroma, Mikoto Uchiha's stomach suddenly rang.

She blushed in embarrassment.

She didn't eat last night, she didn't eat today, and she used so much energy that she was already hungry.

Before, I was focusing on the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, and I forgot about it for the time being.

"You...... You go out first. ”

Mikoto Uchiha's tone sounded rather weak.

It's the feeling of being unthreatening, but having to beg someone.

Natsume stepped forward.

"Let it go...... Leave me alone. ”

Uchiha Mikoto immediately retreated, and when she reached the corner, there was no way back, only to reveal her pitiful appearance.

"What you say is a question of my character."

Natsume stretched out his hand, pinched her chin, looked left and right, and asked, "Who coerced whom last night?" Have you forgotten? ”

Uchiha Mikoto froze.

It seems that she did take the initiative.

"I ...... I...... That's ......"

She slurred, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Because she was reminded of what happened last night, her face and ears were covered with a layer of pink.

"I'm sorry...... I...... Guilty. ”

Uchiha Mikoto apologized in a panic.

"If you're guilty, put on new clothes."

Natsume took out a black nun outfit and said, "It can lighten your sense of guilt."

He didn't tease her anymore, turned away, and closed the door.

Uchiha Mikoto looked at the nun suit in confusion, and finally did not refuse.

Her face was slightly red, and she was a little unaccustomed to spinning in circles.

Mainly wearing black suspenders for the first time.

The rest is fine.

Uchiha Mikoto subconsciously looked out the door, and Natsume seemed to have left.

She picked up the bowl of white porridge and took a sip.

It tastes surprisingly good.

And the white porridge I ate last night, It can be described as a day and a place.

Natsume went to say hello to Megumi Uzumaki and went back to the room.

Uchiha Mikoto ate the white porridge completely.

Lips are shiny and hydrated, not as dry as last night.

Natsume glanced at the black nun dress that wrapped her delicate body, it was very bumpy and uneven, and it was even better than expected.

"Do you still want it?"

He pointed to the bowl and said, "If you're not full, there's more." ”

Mikoto Uchiha put her hands on her lower abdomen and nodded embarrassedly.

Natsume immediately sent her two more bowls.

"That...... I would like to ask. ”

Uchiha Mikoto licked her lips, swallowed the white porridge, and asked, "Why didn't I turn on the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye last night?" ”

"How can it be so simple?"

Natsume blinked, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "It's okay, the future is long, and one day it will be opened." ”

“……”

Uchiha Mikoto's body suddenly stiffened.

She had run out of courage last night.

I thought I could end the torture quickly, but I didn't expect it to be just the beginning.

"There's nothing in this world that doesn't work for nothing."

Natsume reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "So work hard, Aunt Mikoto."

Uchiha Mikoto stopped talking, her rosy lips opened slightly, and finally she didn't answer and continued to drink porridge.

"You can go to Hui Ji in the future and let her help you exercise your pupil strength."

Natsume got up and said, "Your pupil power has been forcibly improved now, but it's not very good for you. ”

"Hmm."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded.

She doesn't quite understand either, anyway, what Natsume says, how she does it.

"Remember to return the flute to Tayuya."

Natsume smiled and said, "It's been so long, she's very angry, you must not tell her what it is for." ”

Uchiha Mikoto suddenly turned as red as Steam Hime.

Ashamed.

I want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Natsume didn't stay any longer, and the Flying Thunder God technique was cast, and he returned home.

He changed into a clean set of clothes and headed to the Hokage Building.

Today was his first day at work after becoming Hokage's assistant.

But he was already late for the morning.

Thanks to the example that Shimura Danzou had set before, he didn't come to the Hokage Building all year round, and when he came, he quarreled with Sarutobi Hiza.

Everyone is used to it.

Now with a new Hokage, it's a big deal to be late for work, it's a trivial matter, and it's not worth making a fuss about.

Natsume entered his office.

After yesterday's cleaning, it looks like that's the case.

He got to work.

Although I don't know how Shimura Danzou works, he has been arranged by Tsunade to make it clear.

This is the so-called right to decide.

After the Hokage's secretary group preliminarily handles the matter, it will be handed over to him to decide.

In the past, this was the job of the Hokage and the Hokage's advisors.

But now that the two Hokage advisors are dead, Tsunade is left alone.

If it was Ape Flying Sun, he would definitely not share his power.

Tsunade and Natsume are indistinguishable from each other, and they don't see each other that much.

Because of the assistance of the Hokage's secretary group, it is actually not as busy as imagined.

Natsume actually has to do one thing, stamping.

Cover those who agree, hit back those who disagree.

He was extremely efficient, and it didn't take him an hour to get it all done.

"Send the documents to the teacher."

Natsume put down the seal and commanded.

A shadow ninja immediately appears and takes the file with him.

After being okay for the time being, Natsume plans to visit Orochimaru.

This time, it's as the assistant of the Konoha Hokage.

He had mentioned to Tsunade about studying Mu Dun before.

But this kind of experiment is really impossible for ordinary people.

Without a leader, I'm afraid there won't be anything for decades.

The whole Konoha is the most suitable for Orochimaru.

His scientific research ability has been tested countless times and is trustworthy.

This investigation of Shimura Danzo also involved Orochimaru.

According to the rules of Konoha Village, he can already be sent to the Pure Land to meet the Six Dao Immortals.

But his identity is special and his influence is also great.

The most important thing is that Tsunade can't do it.

The three ninjas have fought side by side since childhood, and their relationship is quite good.

It's not a big problem not to kill Orochimaru, but it's not okay to let him enjoy Konoha's resources for nothing.

In the past, Natsume didn't care because the Hokage was an ape flying sun.

Now the Hokage is Tsunade, his family's.

In other words, Orochimaru eats and drinks for nothing at his house.

Natsume's most annoying thing is being prostituted for nothing.

This is absolutely unbearable.

Be sure to work hard at Orochimaru.

Natsume left the Hokage Building and headed to Orochimaru's house.

By the time he reached the door, he had already felt a lot of voyeuristic gazes.

It's a snake from the Dragon's Cave.

"Go and inform Orochimaru-sama, Hokage assistant Natsume wants to see him."

Natsume said casually and entered the hall.

I didn't expect there to be an accident.

Mitarai red beans.

She was holding six strings of three-color balls in both hands, and when she saw Natsume, she was chewing, and her cheeks were bulging.

"Natsume?"

She hurriedly swallowed the balls in her mouth, greeted her with a smile, and said, "It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"It's been a long time."

Natsume nodded, "The last time was three or four years ago, and we formed a team together to carry out the mission of going deep into the cloud ninja camp. ”

"Do you eat?"

Mitarai Red Bean took out a string of three-color balls and asked.

"No, you don't."

Natsume waved his hand and reminded, "It's easy to gain weight if you eat more." ”

"It's okay, I can't get fat."

Mitarai Azuki smiled confidently and said, "I eat it every year, but I've always kept my weight. ”

Natsume secretly said that this is clearly the effect of the curse seal.

One day, when Orochimaru runs away with a bucket, you'll be done.

"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the Hokage's assistant."

Mitarai Red Bean said excitedly, "If I make a mistake in the future, remember to cover me." ”

"Your teacher is Orochimaru-sama, he won't let you have an accident."

Natsume paused and said, "However, you can also cover it." ”

Although Orochimaru is cold, cunning, and unkind, he is still a good teacher.

For the rope tree and Mitarai red beans are really good.

As for Sasuke Uchiha, he didn't train him as an apprentice, but as a container.

"Yay!"

Mitarai red beans smiled and blossomed.

"Are you waiting for Orochimaru-sama?"

Although Natsume's position is higher than Orochimaru's, his seniority is a little worse, so he added an honorific title in front of outsiders.

"Hmm. But the teacher has something to do, and I don't know when I'll come over. ”

Mitarai Azuki smiled a little dimly and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen the teacher, and he's been busy lately. ”

It's an excuse to be busy.

Natsume can probably understand Orochimaru's thoughts.

The main reason is that the apprentice of Mitarai Red Bean is too incompatible with him.

Neither talent nor character is the kind he likes.

However, he does have a master-apprentice affection for her.

"Where's Xiyan?"

Natsume remembered her two teammates.

Uchiha Itachi has defected, but Utsuki Yuyan has not.

"I don't know."

The expression on Mitarai Azuki's face froze slightly.

She really didn't know what Utsuki Xiyan was doing, but she knew that she had been following Orochimaru all along.

It's really enviable.

Mitarai red beans are quite unwilling.

She is obviously Orochimaru's first apprentice now.

Why isn't it being treated as it should be?

At this moment, she seemed to change her face, showing a surprised expression.

"Teacher, are you back?"

"Hmm."

Orochimaru's eyes fell on Natsume, and he didn't care about Mitarai red beans anymore.

"I heard you learned the Immortal Pattern of the Wet Bone Forest?"

Mitarai Azuki's smile froze suddenly.

Woo woo, teacher, look at me.

"Fluke."

Natsume gave her a reassuring look before answering Orochimaru's question.

"There's no such thing as a fluke in learning the Immortal Mode."

Orochimaru licked the corners of his mouth, apparently interested.

Because there are only two people in the ninja world who can currently know the immortal mode.

Aside from the mysterious masked man he met before, there are only Jiraiya and Natsume.

The former's immortal mode is not yet complete.

Although Orochimaru has developed the Heaven and Earth Curse Seal, there is still a gap compared to the Immortal Mode.

If Natsume had allowed him to study and study, he might have gained something different.

“……”

Natsume could already clearly feel Orochimaru's gaze.

It's as if a glue guy has seen the real Gundam.

Excited.

"Orochimaru-sama, I came here today because I was looking for you."

Natsume changed the subject and got down to business.

"What is it?"

Orochimaru smiled indifferently.

It's just that the smile is colder.

But he didn't have the heart to do anything to Natsume.

First, it is not easy to fight.

The second is to offend Tsunade.

Unless he is absolutely sure, he has no mind for the time being.

"Red Bean, please leave first."

Natsume turned his head and said, "This is a secret related to Konoha. ”

Mitarai Red Bean was stunned, his expression was a little aggrieved, but he didn't say anything.

She's a ninja, so naturally she has to follow orders.

The current Natsume is no longer the junior of the original, but the Hokage's assistant.

After Mitarai Red Beans left, the breath on Orochimaru's body became a little colder.

I have to say that he still attaches great importance to this apprentice.

"Orochimaru-sama, I hope you can preside over the Mu Dun experiment."

Natsume said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Doesn't Konoha already have intercolumnar cell transplantation technology?"

Orochimaru frowned and asked.

"The teacher didn't want to transplant, she wanted to awaken."

Natsume explained.

"Awakening?"

Orochimaru sneered and said, "Has Tsunade become naïve since he became the Hokage? ”

"Impossible?"

Natsume asked rhetorically.

"It's not possible."

Orochimaru didn't explain and gave an eviction order, "Go back and tell Tsunade not to waste my time." ”

"As long as the odds aren't zero, it's okay."

Natsume smiled and said, "Orochimaru-sama, your cooperation with Shimura Danzo has been known to us. ”

"You threaten me?"

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, and the majestic murderous aura had filled the entire hall.

"It's cooperation."

Natsume said as usual, "Your experiments can't see the light, and someone needs to help you cover it up and provide resources." ”

"Interesting."

Orochimaru suddenly laughed and asked, "It seems that Tsunade doesn't know what you're doing behind your back." ”

It's another Shimura group.

It's not that we can't cooperate.

There are some things that he really can't handle.

"As a condition, you can't attack the ninjas and villagers of Konoha Village anymore."

Natsume added, "But I can provide you with the prisoners of Konoha Prison. ”

"So be it."

Orochimaru is reluctant to give up Konoha for the time being, so he didn't refuse.

As for the so-called Konoha Awakening Experiment, just be perfunctory.

Anyway, it is normal for this kind of major research to work hard for several years without results.

"In order to ensure cooperation, I would like to send someone to study with you, what do you think?"

Natsume was improvised, and thought of Yakushidou.

How so?

His best teacher is, of course, Orochimaru.

If you can learn something, it's the best.

If you can't learn it, you have to resort to other methods.

For example, Huang Quanjin or other gods.

Orochimaru nodded, completely unconcerned.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Natsume bowed slightly and turned to leave.

"Teacher."

Mitarai Azuki, who was outside the door, immediately ran into the hall.

"Are you okay?"

Orochimaru glanced at her and said, "It's okay, you can go back." ”

"Teacher, this is a three-color ball bought for you."

Mitarai Azuki handed him all the remaining five strings of three-color balls.

Orochimaru was silent for two seconds, stretched out his slender tongue, and swallowed the wooden skewer with it.

Although it was more terrifying, Mitarai Red Bean still showed a happy expression.

Konoha Orphanage.

Pharmacist didn't do the experiment today.

Because he was stuck in a bottleneck.

As the things Natsume handed him became more and more complex, it was clear that his knowledge was a little insufficient.

Although he has acquired a lot of Orochimaru's skills, what is on paper is dead after all.

The pharmacist is smart and smart, but it is impossible to be self-taught.

Tsunade is indeed a good teacher.

However, there is a specialization in the art industry.

She and Orochimaru are different in many ways.

"Pocket."

Natsume climbed onto the roof and sat next to him.

"What about my men?"

The Medicine Master glanced at him and said, "One Spike Fruit alone is not enough at all. ”

It is worth mentioning that Suinaiguo does have a good level of scientific research.

It's just one person, you can't use it as two people.

There are two main projects that he is currently working on.

One, atavistic large barrel wood chakra.

Second, Kaguya-kun Maro's bloodstain disease.

None of them are easy.

"Don't mention the words of my subordinates yet."

Natsume snorted and quickly changed the subject, "I found you a teacher, Orochimaru." ”

"Orochimaru?"

Yakushidou looked surprised and asked, "How could he agree?" ”

"Actually, I didn't agree."

Natsume briefly explained his cooperation with Orochimaru, "Anyway, you should learn as much as you can." ”

If it doesn't work, use the kaleidoscope to write the wheel eye, lock him in a small black room, and release him after teaching everything.

"Hmm."

The pharmacist lifted his glasses, and a hint of excitement flashed across his face.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to see the technique of Orochimaru.

"Come on."

Natsume patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll send you some more good things later." ”

He's talking about Shennong.

Whether it's his medical prospering skills, or his knowledge, it's a good thing.

It should be able to help the pharmacist.

As for security, Natsume doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

He left behind the tokens exchanged for Destiny Points, and in case of an accident, he was able to arrive in time.

In addition to that, there is the question of the faithfulness of the medicine man.

How so?

Although Orochimaru is indeed attractive, it is not to the level of a succubus.

And Natsume can be verified by the Ring of Destiny.

[Because of your actions, the fate of the Medicine Master Dou has changed, and you gain thirty-seven fate points. 】

After returning to the Hokage Building, Natsume heard a chime.

As he expected, the fate value was not particularly large.

This also means that Yakushidou did not defect.

He just learned from Orochimaru.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Natsume put down the information and looked up.

It was Sunset Red who came in, wearing what appeared to be a bandaged red robe.

"Natsume-sama."

She bowed slightly and said, "Hokage-sama wants to see you. ”

"Sister Hong, you're welcome, just call me Natsume."

Natsume wasn't used to it.

He called Sister Hong because Sunset Red and Silent were the same generation.

If you call Auntie, it will be too much.

After all, she wasn't married.

"In that case, then I might as well be respectful."

Sunset's originally serious face showed a smile and said, "But only if there is no third person present." ”

She's a more disciplined ninja.

Shouting it out in private is not a big problem.

But if it is known, some unnecessary troubles may arise.

The Sunset family is nothing more than a small ninja clan.

Don't get carried away too much.

"Yes."

Natsume got up with a smile and said, "Then I'll go see the teacher first." ”

Five thousand words.
