Chapter 151: Chapter 154: Unlocking Kami-e, Maid Outfit Kushina
Early morning.
Natsuki woke up on time.
He changed his clothes, walked to the window, and stretched.
It was already October, and Konoha had become much cooler.
When he opened the window, a cool breeze hit him.
"This is really troublesome."
Natsuki took a deep breath and couldn’t help but shake his head.
After awakening the Bruno template yesterday, he planned to have the Akatsuki organization’s orphanage continue recruiting.
After all, the more orphans there were, the faster he could unlock the Door-Door Fruit.
But this presented a problem.
He needed to personally make a trip to the Land of Rain.
Because other than him, no one else was suitable.
For example, the Anbu.
Although he was an Anbu squad captain, his subordinates were not truly his subordinates. They were Sarutobi Hiruzen’s subordinates.
In other words, the orders he gave would most likely be known by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It would be very troublesome to explain then.
And Natsuki didn’t want to explain either.
There were two ways to solve this problem.
One was to plant his own subordinates in the Anbu. For example, subordinates who had received his blood would no longer follow Sarutobi Hiruzen’s orders.
But he was currently only a squad captain, not the commander-in-chief, so he couldn’t be too blatant about planting subordinates.
Moreover, he didn’t have many subordinates he could plant. Currently, there were only Chino and Fuushin.
The other way was the Akatsuki organization’s CP9.
Currently, all the members were orphans from the Land of Rain with no strength. CP9 would be merely decorative for a long time.
His idea was to find two ninjas who had received his blood to be the persons in charge.
One of them could reside in Konoha permanently to facilitate the transmission of his orders.
Of course, if he had the Door-Door Fruit, this problem would be easily solved.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the Door-Door Fruit yet.
And even with the Door-Door Fruit, an intelligence agency was still necessary.
Natsuki stroked his chin.
Go catch a White Zetsu?
To be honest, White Zetsu was undoubtedly the one who best met his requirements.
But the problem was that it would alert Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, which carried risks.
Besides White Zetsu, were there any other ninjas like that?
Haku’s mother might work, but her location was currently uncertain.
Natsuki pondered for a long time, and suddenly his heart stirred.
It didn’t necessarily have to be a ninja. A Summoning Beast would also work.
In the original work, Mount Myoboku’s intelligence capabilities were not inferior to the Anbu of the Five Great Villages.
Jiraiya used Mount Myoboku to transmit intelligence multiple times.
Because there were too many toads on Mount Myoboku.
And they could also command ordinary toads.
As Orochimaru’s student, Natsuki naturally set his sights on the Ryuchi Cave.
There were also many snakes in the Ryuchi Cave.
And there were tons of ordinary snakes all over the ninja world.
Most importantly, the snakes of the Ryuchi Cave didn’t play by the rules, so turning them into demons would give Natsuki absolutely no psychological burden.
He narrowed his eyes, feeling that the best targets for transformation were the three Snake Princesses of the Ryuchi Cave.
They held high positions and could command all the snakes in the Ryuchi Cave.
The only problem was that their strength was unknown.
Natsuki thought for a moment and decided to go after unlocking the Jiraiya template’s Sage Mode.
After all, the strength of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato was increasing very quickly.
It wouldn’t be long before they possessed the strength of an ordinary Jonin.
After breakfast, Natsuki, Nawaki, and Uzumaki Kushina went to the courtyard.
Unlike usual, Tsunade was also there today.
She was going to teach Natsuki Cherry Blossom Impact.
But Natsuki didn’t waste time either.
He planned to have his main body learn Cherry Blossom Impact from Tsunade, while sending out two Shadow Clones to learn Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique and develop a new Rasengan.
The Rasengan had many derivative ninjutsu in the original work.
For example, Big Ball Rasengan, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, Sage Art: Rasengan, and so on.
Natsuki thought for a moment and decided to start with a relatively basic Rasengan, which was adding a chakra nature to it.
For example, Wind Release: Rasengan or Lightning Release: Rasengan.
He ultimately chose Lightning Release: Rasengan.
Lightning Release: Rasengan originated from Boruto, and the reason he chose it was that it could be used as a ranged attack.
Today’s training began.
Nawaki and Uzumaki Kushina changed their training content just like Natsuki.
They started learning a new Rokushiki technique: Rankyaku.
Another half a month passed.
After Natsuki grasped the basics of Cherry Blossom Impact, he found time to go to the metropolis of the Land of Rain.
It was also a good opportunity to teach Rankyaku to Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.
Before Natsuki even got close to the courtyard, he heard the sounds of fighting.
He raised an eyebrow and walked forward curiously.
Standing at the entrance, he looked into the courtyard and found that the ones fighting were Fuushin and Yahiko.
Chino, Konan, and Nagato were standing on the side watching the battle.
Natsuki thought for a moment and stood there watching as well.
Typhoon Release: Extreme Decaying Winds!
Fuushin formed hand seals.
A surging gale appeared out of thin air and blew toward Yahiko like a tidal wave.
Blood Demon Art: Freezing White Princess!
Yahiko unhurriedly raised his hands.
Two ice-sculpted maidens appeared on his left and right, simultaneously opening their mouths.
Freezing air roared out, and wherever it passed, the wind was frozen solid in place.
Fuushin’s expression changed.
Yahiko’s strength had improved too much compared to before.
When they first met, his strength steadily surpassed Yahiko’s, but now their strengths had reversed.
The freezing air continued to blow toward him without losing momentum.
Fuushin had no choice but to use the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.
Blood Demon Art: Shuriken!
Yahiko pursued his victory, his blood turning into shurikens and flying toward Fuushin.
For a moment, Fuushin appeared extremely battered.
Chino watched with mixed feelings.
Even she, when fighting Fuushin, couldn’t push him to this extent.
But previously, Yahiko was no match for Fuushin.
The reason for this result was Natsuki.
More accurately, it was because Yahiko had received Natsuki’s blood.
Just like Yahiko, there was also Konan.
Her strength was also rapidly approaching hers and Fuushin’s.
Typhoon Release: Great Decaying Winds!
Fuushin stopped in his tracks and found an opening.
Following his hand seals, a violent typhoon immediately formed with him at the center.
Blood Demon Art: Wintry Icicles!
Yahiko swung both hands.
A massive amount of blood turned into icicles and poured down from the sky.
The typhoon was forced to dissipate just as it formed.
This Blood Demon Art: Wintry Icicles perfectly countered Typhoon Release: Great Decaying Winds.
After all, the center of the typhoon was its weak point.
The icicles falling from the sky left Fuushin powerless to resist, and he ultimately had no choice but to concede.
A smile couldn’t help but appear on Yahiko’s face.
When he first met Chino and Fuushin, their Kekkei Genkai had put a lot of pressure on him.
He was terrified that Natsuki would overlook them because of it.
But not only did that not happen, Natsuki also bestowed them with Blood Demon Arts, causing their strength to skyrocket.
Now, he was already on par with Chino and Fuushin.
"Not bad."
Natsuki stepped forward, clapped his hands, and asked. "When did you learn Blood Demon Art: Freezing White Princess?"
"Natsuki-sensei!"
Yahiko shouted with a face full of pleasant surprise.
Nagato and Konan also hurriedly walked up to Natsuki.
"Lord Natsuki."
Chino and Fuushin followed closely behind to greet him.
"I only learned it last week."
Yahiko said somewhat embarrassedly. "I was a bit slow to comprehend it."
Chino and Fuushin were instantly speechless.
The speed at which your strength skyrocketed is simply illogical.
Moreover, given the ages of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, under normal circumstances, let alone having Chunin strength, even newly graduated Jonin wouldn’t be able to beat them.
Natsuki glanced at Chino and Fuushin.
Judging from their expressions, they must have felt the progress in Yahiko and Konan’s strength during this period.
Perhaps they would soon figure it out and take the initiative to come to him, begging to be transformed into demons.
Although the Lower Ranks were not as strong as the Upper Ranks, they would also awaken corresponding Blood Demon Arts.
He was quite looking forward to it.
"Chino."
Natsuki returned to the main topic and said. "Go find the Daimyo of the Land of Rain and tell him to continue taking in orphans."
"Yes, Lord Natsuki."
Chino nodded, then turned and left with Fuushin.
"I will teach you a new taijutsu called Rankyaku."
Natsuki turned to look at the trio and said.
He didn’t stay long, returning to Konoha a week later.
The trio were already familiar with Rankyaku. The rest was just a matter of time.
The new orphans added to the orphanage would also be taught by the three of them.
With so many orphans, gathering nine to learn one of the Rokushiki wouldn’t be a big problem.
After November passed, a new year arrived.
Natsuki also successfully unlocked three abilities.
All three abilities were related to the Bruno template.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Bruno template Ability 2: Kami-e]
Its unlock condition was to learn Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique.
Although Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique was quite difficult, Natsuki used a tricky method.
While Nawaki was using Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique, he secretly activated his Sharingan and copied it.
After unlocking Kami-e, his Rokushiki were finally complete.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Bruno template Ability 3: Tekkai — Smash]
Its unlock condition was to learn Cherry Blossom Impact.
Natsuki used the same method, but he didn’t copy Tsunade.
After all, he was afraid Tsunade would notice his Sharingan, and he wouldn’t be able to explain it.
He found an opportunity and copied Uzumaki Kushina’s Cherry Blossom Impact.
After studying it for a while, he successfully mastered Cherry Blossom Impact.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Bruno template Ability 5: Tekkai — Wheel]
Its unlock condition was to develop a new Rasengan.
Combining it with Lightning Release, Natsuki successfully developed Lightning Release: Rasengan.
The reason he was able to unlock the three abilities so quickly was that they were all related to ninjutsu.
Natsuki’s favorite unlock condition right now was learning ninjutsu.
After all, he now had the Sharingan and the seven nature talent brought by the Hatake Kakashi template.
"Natsuki."
Uzumaki Kushina ran over and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"What’s wrong?"
Natsuki looked down at her and asked.
"Come to my room tomorrow morning."
Uzumaki Kushina smiled mysteriously. "I have prepared a New Year’s gift for you."
"Why do I have to go to your room?"
Natsuki asked, puzzled.
"Just come when I tell you to. Don’t ask!"
Uzumaki Kushina snorted lightly, let go of his clothes, and said.
"Alright then."
Natsuki laughed and said. "If it satisfies me, I’ll sneak you out to play."
"Really?"
Uzumaki Kushina’s eyes lit up as she asked.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Natsuki asked back.
"You’re not allowed to bring anyone else."
Uzumaki Kushina nodded and added.
"Just the two of us."
Natsuki pinched her cheek and said.
He saw that Uzumaki Kushina rarely went out normally, so he prepared to take her out for a trip.
Although there were Anbu ninjas watching her, he was an Anbu squad captain after all. He could just take over their shift.
Of course, they wouldn’t leave Konoha.
As long as they were within the boundaries of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn’t say anything even if he knew.
"I’ll be waiting for you! Don’t be late!"
Uzumaki Kushina skipped away happily.
The third day of the New Year.
Natsuki got up early and arrived at Uzumaki Kushina’s room.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Uzumaki Kushina’s voice rang out.
Hearing this, Natsuki pushed the door open.
The first thing he saw was Uzumaki Kushina sitting on the edge of the bed.
He subconsciously took a look and couldn’t help but be stunned.
Because Uzumaki Kushina had changed into a black and white maid outfit.
Her long red hair was tied up and hung down her back, and there were two cat ears on top of her head.
The maid outfit was primarily black, with a white hem.
Because Uzumaki Kushina was sitting on the edge of the bed, the hem of her skirt spread out on both sides, revealing her thighs.
The skin on her thighs was snow-white, but from the knees down, they were covered by black thigh-high socks.
"Good morning, Natsuki."
Uzumaki Kushina smiled and greeted him.
Her slender legs swung slightly, and her delicate feet swayed along with them, looking like chocolate.
"This is your New Year’s gift?"
Natsuki snapped out of his daze and asked.
"Do you not like it?"
Uzumaki Kushina hopped off the bed, her thigh-high socks wrapping her delicate feet as she stepped onto the carpet.
"It’s cuter than the apron."
Natsuki reached out and touched her cat ears.
They were furry, and the texture was quite nice.
"I knew you would like it."
Uzumaki Kushina smiled smugly, then glanced at the door and asked. "Were you discovered by the Anbu ninjas when you came in?"
"You don’t need to worry about them."
Natsuki knew what she was thinking and said. "I am an Anbu squad captain. I’ve already told them not to follow you today."
"That’s great!"
Uzumaki Kushina cheered and said. "Then let’s sneak out right now!"
After saying that, she took out a pair of shoes and put them on.
"Are you going out wearing this?"
Natsuki was slightly taken aback.
"I finally put it on. I don’t want to change."
A conflicted look appeared on Uzumaki Kushina’s face.
"Then just wear a trench coat over it."
Natsuki thought for a moment and said.
"You’re the smart one!"
Uzumaki Kushina immediately opened her wardrobe and took out a trench coat.
After she put it on, it completely hid the fact that she was wearing a maid outfit underneath. The only remaining trace was the cat ears on her head.
"Let’s go through the backyard."
Uzumaki Kushina grabbed Natsuki and headed outside.
The two quickly arrived at the backyard.
Natsuki flipped onto the wall and reached out his hand.
Uzumaki Kushina grabbed his hand and leaped up.
The two jumped down from the wall.
Outside the courtyard was a small path lined with trees on both sides.
At this time, the sunlight filtered through the branches and landed on the ground, creating a dappled effect.
Uzumaki Kushina took a deep breath, feeling an unprecedented sense of freedom.
Although living in the Senju clan compound wasn’t very restrictive, she ultimately couldn’t go out casually.
This was great.
"Did you plan this sneak out?"
Natsuki chuckled and said. "You seemed very familiar with the route just now."
"I only planned it yesterday."
Uzumaki Kushina blinked and said. "But luckily, it was a huge success on the first try."
"As expected of you."
Natsuki gave her a thumbs up and said.
"Where are we going to play today?"
Uzumaki Kushina asked while walking and looking around.
"Anywhere is fine, but we can only stay in Konoha today."
Natsuki paused and said. "Once I learn a space-time ninjutsu similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique, I’ll take you to play around the ninja world."
"Mm."
Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina wasn’t disappointed. She smiled and said. "I look forward to that day."
"You still haven’t said where you want to go."
Natsuki reminded her again.
"Let’s go play an adult activity!"
Uzumaki Kushina suddenly thought of something and said excitedly.
"...?"
Natsuki’s face was instantly full of question marks.
"Let’s go to the casino!"
Uzumaki Kushina waved her hand grandly and said.
"The casino?"
Natsuki was slightly taken aback and asked. "Have you been influenced by Tsunade-sensei?"
"She gnashes her teeth every time she mentions the casino, so I’m very curious."
Uzumaki Kushina explained.
"She just has bad luck with gambling and loses every time, so naturally she won’t have a good expression."
Natsuki couldn’t help but laugh.
"Then let’s go test our gambling luck!"
Uzumaki Kushina said with great fighting spirit.
"Alright."
Natsuki nodded and added. "But we have to use the Transformation Technique to enter the casino."
Neither he nor Uzumaki Kushina were adults. According to Konoha’s regulations, they couldn’t enter the casino, nor could they drink alcohol.
But killing people on missions was allowed.
"Let’s go!"
Uzumaki Kushina grabbed his hand and quickened her pace.
The two quickly arrived at a nearby casino.
After using the Transformation Technique, they successfully snuck in.
"This casino is a bit different from what I imagined."
Uzumaki Kushina noticed the slot machines not far away.
"Give it a try."
After exchanging some coins, Natsuki handed her one.
Uzumaki Kushina inserted the coin into the slot machine.
The slot machine screen began to flash.
"It must be three sevens!"
Uzumaki Kushina clasped her hands together and prayed.
But obviously, she didn’t have such good luck.
"Darn it!"
Uzumaki Kushina picked up another coin and said. "Again!"
Natsuki sat next to her, smelled her faint fragrance, and smiled.
Facts proved that gambling was addictive.
In his past life, Natsuki’s favorite thing to do during the New Year was playing mahjong with friends.
Slot machines were somewhat similar.
"Three sevens!"
After an unknown amount of time, Uzumaki Kushina suddenly shouted.
The slot machine subsequently emitted a pleasant sound and spat out a large number of coins.
"Not bad luck."
Natsuki took a look and said. "At least you broke even."
"Mm!"
Uzumaki Kushina’s face was flushed, and she looked very excited.
"Should we play something else?"
Natsuki suggested. "Since we’re here, let’s play all the games."
"Okay!"
Uzumaki Kushina collected the coins and moved to the next machine.
Time slowly passed.
The two played until evening before leaving the casino.
"I won twenty thousand ryo!"
Uzumaki Kushina said happily.
Natsuki thought to himself, Tsunade is indeed the anomaly.
How could a normal person lose every single bet?
"Then let’s use this twenty thousand ryo to eat a grand feast."
Natsuki pondered for a moment and said. "Since it’s winter, we can try beef sukiyaki."
"Their cooking isn’t as good as yours."
Uzumaki Kushina tilted her head and said. "Let’s buy ingredients and go back. We can all eat together."
"That works too."
Natsuki smiled and said. "Then let’s try my special sukiyaki. I call it hot pot."
