In Naruto With Gacha Template

Chapter 179: Chapter 182: Uchiha Mikoto’s Honey Trap

Uchiha Mikoto didn’t chat with Natsuki for too long.

Mainly because Natsuki had things to do.

Uchiha Mikoto returned to the Konoha Military Police Force.

"Lady Mikoto."

An Uchiha ninja stepped forward and said. "The Clan Head has requested your presence in his office."

"I’ll go right now."

Uchiha Mikoto nodded slightly and went straight upstairs.

Before long, she arrived at Uchiha Fugaku’s office.

After knocking and receiving permission, she walked in.

"Mikoto."

Seeing her, a slight smile appeared on Uchiha Fugaku’s face as he said. "You did very well."

He had previously hinted to Uchiha Mikoto to ask Natsuki for an important job.

Therefore, he mistakenly believed that she had followed his instructions, and had done so exceptionally well, far exceeding his expectations.

"The Uchiha clan is also very satisfied with you becoming a Hokage Secretary."

Uchiha Fugaku added.

After the Jonin meeting concluded, the news of the establishment of two new departments, the Hokage Guard Platoon and the Hokage Secretary Department, had already spread throughout Konoha.

This was specifically requested by Orochimaru, intended to motivate the people.

Especially with the addition of Uchiha Mikoto to the Hokage Secretary Department, the effect was exceptionally pronounced.

Even the traditionally suppressed Uchiha clan was heavily utilized by Orochimaru, let alone other ninja clans and ninjas.

In fact, the effect was indeed good.

Although the Uchiha clan was proud, they fundamentally still identified themselves as Konoha ninjas.

The radicals seen in the original work were currently still a minority and hadn’t reached the point of rebellion.

Now that Orochimaru had given them a sweet date, it caused many Uchiha ninjas to change their impression of Orochimaru.

They all believed Orochimaru was fairer than Sarutobi Hiruzen and felt hopeful about the Uchiha clan’s future.

"This is not my merit."

Uchiha Mikoto felt she didn’t deserve the praise and hurriedly said. "I just benefited from my association with Natsuki."

"Being able to build a good relationship with Natsuki is your merit."

Uchiha Fugaku said bluntly. "Natsuki is the same age as you and is also a candidate for the next Hokage. You must seize this opportunity."

"...?"

Uchiha Mikoto subconsciously looked up, revealing a bewildered and shocked expression.

She hadn’t expected such words to come from Uchiha Fugaku’s mouth. It seemed very out of place.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen was Hokage, the Uchiha clan frequently expressed dissatisfaction when mentioning him and Shimura Danzo.

Why did the Uchiha clan’s attitude change so drastically the moment Orochimaru became Hokage?

In the end, she just wasn’t sensitive to politics.

No matter how nicely Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, he never gave the Uchiha clan any substantial benefits.

But Orochimaru was different. He directly gave them a Hokage Secretary position, which was a tangible benefit.

"This is the clan’s expectation of you. Just do your best to achieve it without affecting your duties as a Hokage Secretary."

Uchiha Fugaku added.

"I understand, Clan Head."

Uchiha Mikoto remained silent for a moment before saying.

The next day arrived.

After breakfast, Natsuki hurried to the Anbu base.

"Lord Natsuki."

Seeing him, Zo came up to meet him and said. "The construction crew has been found."

"Have them go directly to the Hokage building."

Natsuki paused and asked. "How long will it take?"

"At most half a month."

Zo replied.

"Tell them to work as fast as possible."

Natsuki instructed. "Both departments have to wait for the office renovations to be completed before they can start working."

"Yes, Lord Natsuki."

Zo nodded and added. "During the Hokage inauguration ceremony, Shinno went to the Uzumaki clan compound and stole some Fuinjutsu."

"Continue monitoring him."

Natsuki wasn’t surprised upon hearing this.

"Yes, Lord Natsuki."

Zo turned and left.

Natsuki walked into his office and began his work.

Soon, the sound of knocking rang out again.

"Come in."

Natsuki looked up and said.

The door opened.

But to Natsuki’s surprise, the person who walked in wasn’t an Anbu ninja, but Uchiha Mikoto.

"Natsuki."

Uchiha Mikoto said in a gentle tone. "Do you like drinking tea? I brought you some tea. I bought it from the Land of Tea."

After speaking, she took out an exquisite gift box containing tea leaves from a summoning storage scroll.

Natsuki was slightly taken aback.

He had previously said that Uchiha Mikoto had the aura of a good wife and loving mother.

This impression mainly came from Natsuki having seen the original work.

But the current Uchiha Mikoto seemed very close to the original work.

What was going on?

"Thank you."

Natsuki snapped out of it and said. "Mikoto, since you’ve already brought it over, I won’t be polite. Just put it on the coffee table."

"You don’t need to call me senpai. Just call me by my name."

Uchiha Mikoto shook her head and added. "You focus on your work. I’ll brew the tea for you."

She walked to the coffee table, crouched down, opened the gift box, and took out a brand-new tea set and tea bags.

Watching her, Natsuki felt that every one of her movements carried a sense of respect.

He looked thoughtful.

Could it be that Uchiha Fugaku told her to come over and build a good relationship with him?

Thinking about it this way, it was indeed highly likely.

Right now, the Uchiha clan was far from the point of turning against Konoha.

On the contrary, the Uchiha clan desperately hoped for a Hokage who supported them.

It would be best if this Hokage was surnamed Uchiha.

Natsuki stroked his chin.

It must be that his making Uchiha Mikoto a Hokage Secretary caused a misunderstanding within the Uchiha clan.

So they simply decided to have her use a honey trap to get close to him.

Natsuki couldn’t help but smile.

To be honest, Uchiha Mikoto’s honey trap was terrible.

Because she was a woman with very traditional thinking.

Her honey trap wasn’t coming over to seduce him, but taking care of him like a good wife and loving mother.

But he had to admit, this kind of honey trap was actually quite interesting.

Natsuki guessed the truth but didn’t plan to expose it.

He wasn’t some saint. He wouldn’t return a gift delivered to his door.

Besides, in a sense, he had also fundamentally prevented the tragic annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

Natsuki withdrew his gaze and continued reading the documents in his hands.

Before long, the fragrance of tea permeated the air.

Although Natsuki didn’t know much about tea, just smelling this fragrance told him that the tea given by the Uchiha clan was not ordinary.

But that was normal.

The Uchiha clan was a large ninja clan, very wealthy.

All large ninja clans shared this characteristic.

Because of their large population, many clan members who couldn’t become ninjas went into business to make money.

Even the Nara clan dealt in medicinal herbs, let alone a large ninja clan like the Uchiha.

"Natsuki."

Uchiha Mikoto walked up to him, holding the teacup with both hands.

"Thank you."

Natsuki took the teacup, took a sip, couldn’t help but nod, and said. "It is indeed good tea."

After finishing it, he casually set it aside.

Uchiha Mikoto immediately picked up the teapot and poured him another cup.

"No need to go through so much trouble. I can do it myself."

Natsuki tilted his head to look at her and said. "If you have things to do, you can go."

"I don’t have anything to do for now."

Uchiha Mikoto said softly. "Natsuki, is there anything I can do? I can help."

"Doesn’t the Konoha Military Police Force have anything to do?"

Natsuki asked, puzzled.

"I am a Hokage Secretary now."

Uchiha Mikoto replied. "In order not to affect my work, the Clan Head has already relieved me of my duties at the Konoha Military Police Force."

"I see."

Natsuki couldn’t help but think to himself that Uchiha Fugaku was truly thorough.

But it was also normal.

As the Clan Head, everything was based on the interests of the Uchiha clan.

If he wanted to get married, he didn’t lack women.

Besides, Uchiha Mikoto wasn’t so breathtakingly beautiful that he had to marry her.

Based on Natsuki’s aesthetic, she didn’t even rank in his top five.

However, the aura of a good wife and loving mother she possessed made him like her very much.

After all, as a man, everyone likes a woman who is completely submissive to them.

"What about your squad then?"

Natsuki asked again.

"My squad members were all members of the Konoha Military Police Force."

Uchiha Mikoto explained. "They will have a new Uchiha Jonin to lead them."

"The work I have here isn’t suitable for you."

Natsuki thought for a moment and said. "But I guess Teacher will assign us tasks very soon."

Just because the office renovations weren’t finished didn’t mean there was nothing to do during this time.

Based on his understanding of Orochimaru, he would personally handle the work for at most this week to familiarize himself with it.

Starting next week, most of the work would be handed over to the Hokage Secretary Department.

This way, he would have enough time to conduct his experiments.

"Mm."

Hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto said with a gentle expression. "Then I’ll pour tea for you."

"Thank you."

Seeing this, Natsuki didn’t say anything more and continued working.

Uchiha Mikoto secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the first step was successful.

She hadn’t been kicked out by Natsuki.

But on second thought, she felt a bit ashamed.

After all, Natsuki treated her, his friend, very well, even helping her become a Hokage Secretary.

Yet now she was approaching him with ulterior motives, which was truly improper.

Uchiha Mikoto lowered her head, looked at Natsuki’s handsome profile, and couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.

Although she approached him under the instructions of the Uchiha clan, she actually didn’t resist it.

An hour later, Natsuki finished processing the documents.

He picked up the teacup and finished the last cup of tea.

To prevent the tea from getting cold, Uchiha Mikoto had even used Fire Release to heat it midway.

"Sorry for troubling you today, Mikoto."

Natsuki stood up and said. "My work is done. I have to go back and train. You should go back and rest too."

"Natsuki."

Uchiha Mikoto hesitated for a few seconds and asked. "Can I come again tomorrow?"

"Of course."

Natsuki stared at her and said.

"Then... I’ll be leaving first. See you tomorrow."

Sensing his gaze, Uchiha Mikoto hurriedly turned and left.

After exiting the office, she subconsciously pressed a hand to her chest, feeling her face burning.

Her actions just now were far too out of line for her. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Natsuki smiled, opened an Air Door, and returned to the Senju clan compound.

"Natsuki!"

Uzumaki Kushina immediately ran up to him.

Just as Natsuki was about to speak, she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the living room.

Uzumaki Kushina stood on her tiptoes, and her rosy lips pressed against his.

Looking at her right in front of him, Natsuki thought to himself that she was truly clingy in the honeymoon phase.

A long time later, their lips parted.

A happy smile appeared on Uzumaki Kushina’s face.

Her soft lips gleamed, faintly showing traces of their kiss.

"Little glutton."

Natsuki reached out, grabbed her bottom, and said.

"So what?"

Uzumaki Kushina snorted lightly and admitted.

Natsuki raised an eyebrow.

He’d have to find a suitable opportunity to teach her a harsh lesson.

"Let’s go train."

Uzumaki Kushina happily grabbed him and dragged him to the courtyard again.

Natsuki formed hand seals and created three Shadow Clones.

He was currently learning the Impure World Reincarnation and the Dead Demon Consuming Seal simultaneously.

Besides that, he was developing Yin Healing Wound Destruction and new abilities for the Door-Door Fruit.

Among them, developing Yin Healing Wound Destruction was actually the easiest.

There was also the Ryuchi Cave’s senjutsu.

But because it didn’t involve unlocking character template abilities, he only learned it when he had free time.

A new week. Time had entered August.

The change in Hokage didn’t produce any negative effects. Instead, Konoha became even more vibrant than before.

Only Shimura Danzo emerged as the biggest loser.

All of Root’s experiments were forced underground.

Although it didn’t seem to have much impact in the short term, it actually had a huge impact.

Because Konoha’s financial investment in Root would decrease.

After all, Root no longer needed to conduct experiments. All experiments were concentrated in the Research Department.

But experiments were precisely what required the most money.

Shimura Danzo could hold on for a while relying on his savings.

But as time passed, he would face the predicament of a severe lack of funds.

Monday.

After breakfast, Natsuki received an Anbu notification telling him to go to the Hokage’s office.

He subsequently arrived at the Hokage building.

At the entrance, he met Uchiha Mikoto.

"Good morning, Natsuki."

Uchiha Mikoto stepped forward and said softly.

"Good morning."

Natsuki smiled and said.

During this past week, Uchiha Mikoto would come to his office every day to brew tea for him, simply more dedicated than any maid.

"Did Teacher call for you?"

Natsuki asked as they walked.

"Mm."

Uchiha Mikoto nodded.

The two quickly arrived at the Hokage’s office.

Nara Shikaku and Namikaze Minato were there even earlier than them. Upon seeing them, they nodded in greeting.

"Everyone is here, so I’ll start assigning tasks."

Orochimaru said decisively. "You are Hokage Secretaries, mainly responsible for the following tasks..."

Five minutes later, Natsuki’s mouth twitched after listening.

Orochimaru had delegated at least four-fifths of the original Hokage duties to them.

The four of them each handled one-fifth of the work.

He had to admit, Orochimaru really knew how to use people.

Natsuki remembered that in the original work, after Uzumaki Naruto became Hokage, he was so busy he barely had time to go home.

"From now on, the categories of work I just mentioned will be sent to your office."

Orochimaru finally said. "After you process them, report them to me."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Natsuki and the other three said in unison.

"Go to your office."

Orochimaru waved his hand and said.

He hadn’t conducted experiments for a week, and he couldn’t wait to get back to it.

Natsuki and the other three bowed slightly, turned, and left.

The Hokage Secretary’s office was right next to the Hokage’s office.

After the renovations, there were four desks.

Two pairs facing each other, placed on the left and right sides respectively.

Leaving an aisle in the middle.

"I’ll probably be in my own office most of the time."

Natsuki thought for a moment and said. "I’ll choose the desk furthest inside."

"I’ll choose the desk opposite yours."

Uchiha Mikoto immediately said.

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato and Nara Shikaku chose the two desks closer to the door.

"I’m going to take a look at my office."

Natsuki said goodbye and went next door.

He looked up and saw a line of text written beside the door: Hokage Guard Platoon, Hokage Secretary Natsuki’s Office.

Anbu Commander wasn’t added.

Under normal circumstances, the Anbu didn’t show their faces in public.

He was a special case, holding three positions simultaneously, so many people also knew he was currently in charge of the Anbu.

Natsuki pushed the door open and walked in.

His office was much smaller than the Hokage’s office, but the layout was similar, with a desk, a coffee table, and a sofa.

At this time, a pile of documents was already placed on the desk.

Natsuki stepped forward and began working.

These documents were all minor matters, not particularly important. Before long, he had finished them all.

Another week passed.

Natsuki’s heart stirred, sensing the disappearance of an Eyeball Clone.

This was the Eyeball Clone left with Kakuzu.

Thinking of this, Natsuki used the Door-Door Fruit to travel to the Land of Water.

But he hadn’t been to Kakuzu’s current location, so he used Minazuki’s Shikai.

Riding the giant manta ray, he began flying over the sea and activated Observation Haki.

Half an hour later, an island came into view.

The island wasn’t very large, but the vegetation on the island was dense, with a forest.

The Kakuzu and others Natsuki sensed were inside the forest.

More accurately, inside a barrier.

He put away Minazuki and jumped down from the sky.

Upon reaching the ground, he immediately decelerated.

"Lord Natsuki."

His appearance immediately caught the attention of the Akatsuki organization ninjas.

Kakuzu also appeared.

The two walked into a hall.

"You’ve done well."

Natsuki nodded and said.

"Can I return to the Land of Rain now?"

Kakuzu immediately asked.

Having stayed here for nearly a month without making any money was simply torture to him.

"I’ll send you back." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Natsuki then opened an Air Door.

Kakuzu walked into it and disappeared.

Natsuki bit his thumb and used the Summoning Jutsu.

With a poof.

Amidst the smoke, Ichikishimahime appeared.

"Master!"

As soon as Ichikishimahime saw him, she leaned in and said. "Long time no see. I think about you every day!"

Natsuki felt her soft body rubbing against him, then looked at her face full of innocent smiles, unable to tell if she was speaking the truth.

He steadied his mind, then summoned Tagitsuhime and Tagorihime as well.

"I have a mission for you."

Natsuki told them about establishing the Kuja Pirates.

"Master, rest assured. With the power of our Ryuchi Cave, establishing the Kuja Pirates will be absolutely no problem!"

Ichikishimahime immediately stated her stance.

"Even against Kirigakure, we have the power to fight."

Tagitsuhime said very confidently.

Tagorihime nodded with a calm expression.

"Your first task is to investigate the companies in the Land of Water that deal in maritime shipping."

Natsuki instructed.

Since they were the Kuja Pirates, they naturally needed a ship first.

Fortunately, the technology tree of the ninja world was very skewed, even having modernized warships.

Natsuki’s idea was to hijack one, and incidentally figure out the backgrounds of the major shipping companies.

He wouldn’t just hijack anyone. He planned to specifically target shipping companies that were involved in shady business.

Besides that, it was also to verify the intelligence capabilities of the Ryuchi Cave.

Because theoretically, the Ryuchi Cave could command all the snakes in the ninja world.
