51 Influenced by Natural Energy?!

"What do you want from me, Tsunade-Sama?" Nono asked with an astonished look on her face, and she saw Tsunade grinning at her words.

"You have two options: either I get you out of the ROOT, but you won't be a teacher at school and only remain as Dean of the Orphanage, which would be under me."

"Or, you become a three-way spy with me being your highest priority. You can give away some information after consulting me, and I want information and orders you receive from them."

"As for the seal on you, I will look for a way to remove or disable it, and I will take the Orphanage under the Senju Clan's name, and then no one will bother you."

"To be honest, I hope that you choose the second option as this way you can continue to teach in the Academy, and you will be a spy known by me, instead of someone unknown," Tsunade said with a smile on her face, and Nono looked down with a thoughtful look on her face.

For her, it would be better to choose the first option as it is her dream to leave ROOT, but Nono didn't say this. Why? It's because even though she knew that Tsunade would keep her word, that would be the last thing Tsunade would do for her.

In the future, if something happens, Tsunade won't help her as she has already lost her value by choosing the first option.

'She said that she could disable the seal after saying the second option. It means that if I chose the first option, the seal would remain on me as I know many secrets that I shouldn't know as Dean of the Orphanage,' Nono thought in her mind, and she looked at Tsunade after making a decision.

"I choose the second option," she said, and Tsunade just smiled at her words.

Tsunade knew that Nono would choose the second option because of the Curse Seal on her, and this is the reason why she said that she would help in removing the seal after the second option.

'Even though I don't mind helping her and the orphanage, it would be better if she could spy for me on the Old Man and Danzo.'

"Show me the curse seal," Tsunade said, and Nono opened her mouth.

Looking at the curse seal on her tongue, Tsunade recorded the appearance in her mind and said, "Tomorrow, ask Tora-Chan to go to your office and show this seal to him."

"As for the guy here, you can deal with him yourself, and I will meet you three days later in the academy as Tora's sister."

"Try to have evidence of orders from Old Man and Danzo, and if you can't, then it doesn't matter."

"Make sure that you aren't caught before you have collected enough evidence to prove your innocence."

"If you can't, just say my name and end the matter there," Tsunade said with a glint in her eyes, and this was her test for Nono.

She sent Kazutora to her to see if she would report this to Danzo. If she does, then Tsunade would just capture her and release the information about ROOT Ninja in the Academy to other clan leaders. If she doesn't than, then it doesn't mean much as Tsunade wasn't losing anything and she knew that Nono would guess this already.

Thinking of this, Tsunade grinned, and she left the orphanage with a chuckle.

Nono felt a shiver run through her spine, and she then looked at the ANBU ninja on the ground.

She rubbed her head as she had to look for something to clear the suspicion, but she wondered why Tsunade asked Kazutora to see her seal.

'Is this a test?' Nono thought in her mind, and she understood that Tsunade was testing her to see what she would do.

'I can't fail the test as this might be my last chance to get out of ROOT.'

At the house, Kazutora looked at the scene of Nono handling the ANBU Ninja on the screen, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

'Would it better to place a few ninjas in ROOT?' Thinking of this, Kazutora felt like keeping a few spies in the ROOT would be a good option, but even if he could crack the curse seal, it would be difficult to influence them.

"Well, let's work on curse seals first and think about it later. This would be the last thing I will be doing, and then I will focus on myself," Kazutora muttered as he kept the crystal ball aside, and he went to the Hospital after leaving a clone at the house.

The next day in the Academy, Kazutora was called by Nono to her office with Kabuto and one other guy.

In the end, Kazutora checked the curse seal on her and how it worked.

It would take some time to permanently remove the seal, but he could disable it after tinkering with the contract seal.

The contract seal removes any direct control the summoner has over a summoned creature, and he just had to modify the base and change the summoned creature to seal.

It was like inserting a needle in the bearings of a machine that has parts connected to each other and moves simultaneously. The needle would stop one part and this would cause others to stop working as they are connected together.

Now, in the recess, Kazutora stood under the tree with Hina in front of her, and he looked at her with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Are you going to say something?" Kazutora asked. Yesterday, he said that they would talk in the Academy, and now looking at Hina, who seemed flustered and sad, he wondered what she wanted to talk about.

"I," Hina opened her mouth but words didn't come out of her mouth. She wanted to talk about her clan and the mission she had received from the Elders, but she felt scared as she thought of the consequences of her actions.

Unlike Kyo, who received the mission to defeat Kazutora and become friends with him, Hina was asked to become close, or she should say, seduce Kazutora to the Hyuga Clan.

Even though the Elders in the clan knew that it was an impossible mission from the start, they didn't care. If Hina could do it, then it would be good for the Hyuga clan, and if she couldn't, they would only lose a little girl from the branch clan.

Before, Hina had some thoughts about completing the mission and asking for her mother to return to the clan as a reward, but after meeting Kazutora and knowing him, she knew that it was impossible for her.

Heck, she felt that if she didn't take care of herself and remain cautious, it would be she who would be seduced by him and then get punished in the clan by the Elders.

"Is it related to the Hyuga Clan?" Kazutora said in a low voice and this was the only reason he could think of Hina's hesitation. He had seen that her nature was of a bold girl, but in the clan, she has been suppressed and has to maintain a meek attitude.

"Eh? Hmm," Hina's expression changed at his words and then she nodded at him.

"So, what mission did you receive from them? If you don't mind, can you tell me?" Kazutora asked with a frown on his face and he understood that she hadn't received a simple mission from the clan. Not only her, but most of the kids in the class have received the mission to join his group or get him in your group.

Kazutora had already seen this before, and with Tsunade's warning, he had already made plans about this.

"Uhh," Hina looked at Kazutora and a few moments later, she said, "I was asked to get close to you."

"You have already done it," Kazutora said and the next words of Hina stunned him.

"And seduce you to Hyuga clan."

Kazutora looked at Hina who had a blush on her face and he rubbed his head at her words.

"Haha, For real? That is an impossible mission and they should know about this. Are you already abandoned by them?" Kazutora murmured in a low voice and Hina looked down at his words. He rubbed the back of his hair with an annoyed face and said, "Just say that you have been working but the girl from Uchiha, Akimichi, and Inuzuka clan are there too."

"Postpone it for two or more years, and then I will be in a position to assist you. However, what do you need that prompted you to undertake this mission?" Kazutora said while looking at the band on her forehead and he knew that he would be able to develop a seal to break away the Cage Bird Seal.

At that time, the Hyuga Branch clan would follow him, and he wouldn't be afraid of mere Elders, and the consequences from the village for his actions.

"I want to meet my mother," she muttered in a low voice that sounded like a sad cry, and Kazutora looked at her. He patted her head and said, "I can't do anything about this but if you want, I will look for a way to send a letter to her if she is outside."

"The letter won't be seen by anyone so you can just write whatever you want without any worries."

Hina looked at Kazutora with stunned eyes as she saw him smiling gently at her and her heartbeat sped up.

'If he does this again, I will really be seduced by him.'

Hina thought in her mind and she could only nod at the words. Kazutora looked in the direction and his eyes fell on the group peeking at him.

"You all can come out," He said and at his words, he saw people falling from the corner of the building. Hina opened her Byakugan at his words and she looked at the group of people who had fallen.

"You! Did you listen to everything?" She shouted with an embarrassed look on her face and then her expression changed as she remembered the consequences of word spreading about her mission.

"No, they didn't, right?" Kazutora said with a serious look on his face and looking at his expression, everyone nodded like hens pecking grains.

"Still, whose idea was to peek around? Hana's?" Kazutora asked and Hana shook her head.

"It was Izumi's," She said and Izumi looked at her with a betrayed look on her face.

"Hana, You!" She said and then Izumi started to run away from Hina who rushed at her to beat her up. Kazutora looked at Itachi who seemed to be in his own world and Shikakuro, who seemed to be thinking about matters again.

A sigh escaped his lips, and Kazutora looked at the leaves above him with a thoughtful look on his face.

The Hyuga Clan's separation, the behaviour towards Uchiha Clan, the existence of ROOTs, the death of White Fang, the Codes of Ninja, Orochimaru's experiments and many others!

All of them are a mockery of the Will of Fire of Konoha, and Kazutora didn't understand why they all still could believe in the Will of Fire and not question it.

Or, maybe they did, but the results made them feel fear and destroyed all the questions they had.

'What a sad and twisted world,' Kazutora thought in his mind and the aura around him became chilling cold.

The people in the place felt chills, and when they looked at Kazutora, they saw him staring in a direction with an expressionless face.

Itachi frowned as he looked at Kazutora, and Shikakuro shuddered at the thoughts that appeared in his mind.

"Kazutora?" He called him but Kazutora seemed to be lost in his world. Hana shivered as she felt terrified by the current Kazutora, and she said, "Hey, wake him up! D-Do so-something!"

Hearing him, Shikakuro made hand seals and tried to use the Shadow Imitation technique, but at that moment, he felt a chakra pressure on him.

Shikakuro saw Kazutora staring at him with an indifferent look in his eyes, and he felt like he was frozen in ice.

Itachi took the chance to jump at Kazutora to attack him, but Kazutora dodged the attack and pushed him to the ground. A groan escaped Itachi's lips as he fell on the ground with Kazutora holding his hand, and just as Kazutora was about to attack, he felt danger and disappeared from the place.

In his place, Tsunade appeared with a frown on her face, and as soon as she noticed that something was wrong while watching him, she had left the house.

She had arrived before and summoned Katsuyu to ask her what was happening, and Tsunade got to know that he had been influenced by the natural energy.

"I will take him away, and I don't want any words about this," Tsunade said before rushing at Kazutora, who constantly dodged the attack and moved around.

"Tora-Chan, come to your senses," Tsunade said while making seals to control him via illusion, but because of the natural energy in his body, she couldn't pull him into an illusion.

"It seems I need to use more strength," Tsunade murmured and she knew that she wouldn't be able to hide what was happening in the place. Looking at Kazutora, who looked at her with an indifferent look in his eyes, Tsunade felt a sting in her heart, and she hated the look on his face.

Clenching her hand, she rushed at Kazutora after making four Shadow Clones.

The Four clones went around Kazutora to catch him, and Kazutora created Wood Clones without any seal. Looking at the Wood clones, Tsunade frowned and with her clones, she made hand seals and used the Water Barrier technique to create a barrier around him.

The area got covered in water and in the barrier, Tsunade looked at Kazutora with a grim look on her face. The reason is that she could feel her control over the barrier loosening and she understood that it was because his control over water and chakra potency was higher than hers.

"Wake the hell up!" Tsunade shouted while using Heavenly Food of Pain, and Kazutora used Body Flicker to move away.

The ground cracked at her attack, and Tsunade muttered, "Katsuyu, I will summon your body here. Take a chance to capture him and take him away to Shikkotsu Forest."

"Yes, Tsunade-Sama," Katsuyu said and Tsunade used 80% of her chakra and summoned the body of Katsuyu. As soon as Katsuyu appeared, the ground trembled.

Katsuyu split into countless bodies and they all rushed at Kazutora. Tsunade had already noticed that Kazutora was only defending against the attacks, and she understood that it was his instincts that were fighting, not him.

It didn't take long for Katsuyu to catch Kazutora, and she reverse-summoned his body to Shikkotsu Forest. Tsunade sighed at this, and she removed the water barrier in the place. She used Earth Release to cover the ground and then left the place without saying anything.
