Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: Sasuke's Goal

Not long after, Natsuki and Tenten left the Hokage Building.

Tsunade watched them leave, her face full of emotion. She hadn't expected the legendary Six Paths Tools to fall into Tenten's hands, and judging by Tenten's expression, she would definitely use them.

Having such a powerful trump card, Tsunade felt quite lucky.

Even if the Tailed Beasts caused trouble one day, they could be easily dealt with.

"Hehe, the two little rascals still have some conscience, they didn't really hide it from me. And they didn't forget to bring me wine. While Shizune isn't here, I'll secretly have a couple of sips..."

"Tsunade-sama?"

Shizune pushed the door open, scaring Tsunade, who quickly hid the wine bottle behind her back.

However, the sharp-eyed Shizune still spotted it. "Tsunade-sama! Where did you buy wine again! You can't drink while working! Confiscated!" .

Tsunade collapsed. "No, Shizune! This is 'Five Seven Zero', my life!"

Outside the Hokage Building, Natsuki and Tenten walked hand in hand towards the Ninjutsu Shop, planning to bring the specialties from the Land of Lightning to the Ninjutsu Shop Owner.

The reason they were honest with Tsunade about the Six Paths Tools wasn't to show off, but out of trust. Since Tsunade asked, they might as well tell her, as she would definitely keep it a secret.

As Tsunade said, she would know sooner or later, and knowing in advance would give her peace of mind.

Tenten had actually discussed with Natsuki whether she should keep the matter of obtaining the Six Paths Tools absolutely secret, but Natsuki let her decide for herself.

Tenten had also considered it herself. Thinking of powerful enemies like the Akatsuki, she felt that the Six Paths Tools would likely be used very soon, so even if she were to hide it, she shouldn't hide it from Tsunade.

This way, when powerful enemies attacked, she could also be of great help.

And Tsunade-sama wouldn't have to think about splitting Natsuki in half to use him.

Tenten was such a person. She loved her companions very much, and she also loved the Village, so she really wanted to contribute her strength.

In the original story, when she found the crimson gourd and the Amber Purifying Pot, she immediately ran towards the main battlefield regardless of the danger because she believed that the two treasures could help everyone, so she had to deliver them quickly.

Even when trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, she constantly tried to find a way to leave and save everyone.

It was precisely because Natsuki understood Tenten that he did not interfere with her decision. Tenten was a very smart girl and would figure things out herself.

Since Tenten was willing to reveal it to Tsunade, Natsuki naturally supported it.

And Tenten would also gain Tsunade's attention and important positions because of this, and she would be able to realize her ideals and ambitions more in the future.

"Dad, we're back!"

As soon as Tenten reached the entrance of the Ninjutsu Shop, she shouted, smiling as she pulled Natsuki to the Ninjutsu Shop Owner, and then summoned a pile of things and placed them in front of him.

Natsuki explained with a smile, "Father-in-law, Tenten and I went to the Land of Lightning. Look, these are all gifts we specially chose for you. Look, this is the best-selling wine in the Land of Lightning, and this is the most expensive wine sold in the Land of Lightning. Anyway, we bought them all for you. Even Tsunade-sama likes these!"

The Ninjutsu Shop Owner couldn't stop smiling and looked proudly at the neighbors who were gathered at the entrance to watch the fun.

He really wanted to show off.

Although his daughter and son-in-law were not officially married yet, they already felt like they had been married for many years. It was like suddenly returning to his daughter's home, which made him tear up.

Moreover, his daughter was very filial, and his son-in-law was very thoughtful. Even when they were away, they remembered to bring gifts for him, their father.

So, let the neighbors envy, be jealous, and hate! Hahahaha!

"Ahem! Since Tsunade-sama also likes this kind of wine, I'll keep it. Someday during a festival, I'll send some to Tsunade-sama too, so she can take good care of our family's business."

He was clearly very happy, but he had to pretend to be serious, which was truly amusing.

Natsuki quickly said, "No need, Father-in-law, keep these for yourself to drink. I'll handle Tsunade-sama. I am now highly regarded by Tsunade-sama, and Tenten is also very much liked by Tsunade-sama. You don't have to worry about our family's business. Just wait to enjoy your life!"

The Ninjutsu Shop Owner couldn't completely hide the smile and pride on his face and patted Natsuki's shoulder, clearly very satisfied with this son-in-law.

And he felt in his heart that it must be because his daughter was naturally beautiful and exceptionally outstanding, otherwise how could a genius like Natsuki have been willing to fall for her from a young age?

Hmm, all in all, his daughter was the most amazing!

Tenten was too lazy to expose her dad's facade and went into the kitchen with Natsuki to make dinner. The family ate a happy meal together.

Then, Tenten left with Natsuki. Anyway, she was already used to living with Natsuki. Apart from not officially moving in and not being officially married, it was actually no different from being married...

The Ninjutsu Shop Owner was also too lazy to care; he had gotten used to it over the years.

He entertained the neighbors and occasionally brought out the specialties to show off, making the neighbors extremely envious.

Meanwhile, as soon as Natsuki and Tenten arrived home, someone came knocking.

Natsuki opened the door and saw, "Sasuke? Come in first."

Tenten also greeted, "Sasuke, you're here. Come in and sit. Do you want black tea or green tea? Black tea is fine."

Saying that, she went to make tea.

Natsuki also invited Sasuke to sit down. "Just say what's on your mind. Tenten is family, and she will also keep your secret, so you don't need to hide anything."

Sasuke nodded and took out a scroll, handing it to Natsuki. "Look at this."

Natsuki took it curiously, opened it, and was immediately stunned. "Three-Tails?"

"Yes, I found this at Orochimaru's place."

Sasuke explained, "I saw Sai rummaging through something in Orochimaru's base's data room at that time, and I thought Orochimaru must have collected a lot of good things and special information, so I also decided to take a look. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to find this."

Natsuki wasn't surprised. "It seems the Three-Tails Jinchuriki is already dead, and the Three-Tails hid again after being revived."

At this moment, Tenten brought the black tea and thoughtfully prepared sugar.

She also sat down and leaned over curiously to look at the scroll. "I didn't expect Orochimaru to have already discovered the whereabouts of the Three-Tails 1.4. He probably wanted to use the Three-Tails for experiments. So, why did Sasuke come to find Natsuki? He doesn't want to become a Jinchuriki, does he?"

Sasuke affirmed, "Yes! I want to ask Natsuki to help me subdue the Three-Tails. I want to become a Jinchuriki!"

Ah, this...

Tenten hadn't expected her joke to actually come true!

This guy actually wanted to become a Jinchuriki!

However, Tenten wasn't stupid and knew that Sasuke carried the burden of his clan's destruction, so it was normal for him to want power. Becoming a Jinchuriki was also a good choice.

Just look at Naruto. Although his abilities weren't great, he would occasionally burst out Nine-Tails Chakra in difficult situations, which was very powerful. Once he fully controlled the Nine-Tails' power, his strength would likely surpass Tsunade.

If Sasuke became a Jinchuriki, he should be able to do better than Naruto.
