Natsuki thought for a moment.
In Demon Slayer, Hollow Cry, God's Departure was the sword used by Kokushibo, Upper Rank One of the Twelve Kizuki.
It was an anomalous sword forged from his own flesh and bones.
Even if it was severed, it would instantly regenerate.
And Kokushibo's Blood Demon Art was related to this sword.
His body could also freely generate blades similar to Hollow Cry, God's Departure.
These blades could be used for attack and could also fire crescent-shaped slashes.
Natsuki figured that Pakura awakened Blood Demon Art: Hollow Cry, God's Departure because she accepted the Blood Curse while severely injured.
And because of her severe injuries, she received more blood than Konan and Yahiko.
How should he put it?
Blood Demon Art: Hollow Cry, God's Departure was undoubtedly very strong.
If developed properly, he felt it wouldn't be inferior to Shikotsumyaku.
Pakura would be able to excel in both offense and defense.
For long-range, she had Scorch Release. For close combat, she had Blood Demon Art: Hollow Cry, God's Departure.
In terms of strength, she would surpass Rasa and Reki.
"Let's leave this place first."
Natsuki finished his Mystical Palm Technique treatment and said. "Rasa and Reki could appear at any time. We'll go to a safe place."
After speaking, he stood up and opened an Air Door.
Seeing this, Pakura's pupils shrank.
Natsuki actually knew space-time ninjutsu?
If Sunagakure and Konoha went to war again, one could imagine that he would definitely become the biggest headache for Sunagakure.
But... this had nothing to do with her anymore.
Pakura stood up and walked into the Air Door.
When they reappeared, they were already in Natsuki's room in the metropolis of the Land of Rain.
"Do you have any clothes with you?"
Natsuki looked at her and asked.
Pakura suddenly realized.
She subconsciously looked down at her torn and soaked clothes and hurriedly crossed her arms over her chest.
But this action made her curves even more pronounced, faintly revealing her silhouette.
Obviously, her beautiful back wasn't her only feature.
"I've already seen what there is to see. What's the point of covering up now?"
Natsuki chuckled and asked.
"..."
Pakura was instantly speechless.
"Besides, I wasn't looking at you on purpose. It was to save you."
Natsuki emphasized righteously.
"I have clothes."
Pakura turned her head away and said. "You go out first."
"I'll wait for you outside."
Natsuki left the room and went to the courtyard.
Yahiko and the other three weren't there.
They had taken a group of elite Akatsuki ninjas to Hozuki Castle.
Hozuki Castle was under Mui's jurisdiction.
Kusagakure also found it difficult to intervene.
Yahiko and the others going there wouldn't be discovered by others.
Natsuki didn't wait long before Pakura reappeared.
She had changed into another backless outfit, but because her severe injuries hadn't fully healed, her face looked slightly pale.
However, she had already been transformed into a demon and would recover before long.
"Did you want to transform me into a demon from the very beginning?"
Pakura looked at Natsuki, remained silent for a moment, and asked.
"Pretty much."
Natsuki said casually.
Although he didn't have the Kibutsuji Muzan template at that time, he did have a similar idea.
"How truly terrifying."
Pakura was dazed for a moment and said. "Falling to this state, I have no complaints."
In her opinion, for Natsuki to use the rainwater business to scheme against her was truly a bit of a waste.
But conversely, preferring to ruin a business worth tens of millions just to set her up showed exceptional decisiveness and ruthlessness.
"Being able to transform you into a demon so easily is thanks to Rasa and Reki."
Natsuki corrected.
Hearing this, Pakura fell silent.
Rasa and Reki's actions had indeed disheartened her.
"What do you want me to do?"
Pakura steadied her mind and asked.
"Become the next Kazekage."
Natsuki replied.
"Just as I thought."
Pakura said with a tone of understanding. "Your goal, ultimately, is still Sunagakure."
"My ultimate goal is not just Sunagakure."
Natsuki said with a smile.
Pakura subconsciously bit her lip.
Natsuki already had a high chance of becoming the Hokage of Konoha. Coupled with Sunagakure, that would mean one person controlling two hidden villages.
No, more accurately, he would definitely become the Hokage of Konoha.
Pakura had now witnessed Natsuki's methods.
Coupled with his strength, she couldn't think of anyone among his peers in Konoha who could be his rival.
"I agree."
Pakura let out a breath and said. "Since Sunagakure abandoned me, I am no longer a Sunagakure ninja."
"This is the mindset a strong person should have, not limited to one hidden village."
Natsuki nodded and said.
"A strong person dominated by you?"
Pakura asked back.
"There aren't many strong people who can be dominated by me."
Natsuki said without changing his expression.
"..."
Pakura realized his skin was also very thick.
But she had to admit, only people like this could win in the struggle for power and profit.
"I need to hurry back to Sunagakure as soon as possible."
Pakura regained her composure and said. "If I delay too long, Rasa and Reki will seize my position as general manager."
"I'll send you back."
Natsuki raised his hand and opened an Air Door.
The two walked into it.
When Pakura walked out and found she was already at her house, her heart jolted.
Space-time ninjutsu was truly terrifying.
It went without saying how great a threat Natsuki, who could appear in Sunagakure at any time, was.
But again, she no longer belonged to Sunagakure. She belonged to Natsuki.
"What are you going to do? Expose them?"
Natsuki sat casually on the sofa.
"I can't expose them. They didn't reveal their true faces when they ambushed me."
Pakura stepped forward, crouched in front of the coffee table, and poured Natsuki a cup of water.
"Thank you."
Natsuki took the cup and took a sip.
"Furthermore, they have the support of the Third Kazekage and the two elders behind them. Without conclusive evidence, it won't affect them."
Pakura stood up, looked at him, and said. "But since I came back alive, I won't let them have it easy."
"Just as you said, they have support behind them."
Natsuki's gaze followed, and he could see her thighs. "You don't need to be too aggressive. Just maintaining the status quo is fine."
"Didn't you want me to become Kazekage?"
Pakura asked back. "If we maintain the status quo, the one to become Kazekage will most likely be Rasa."
"Don't worry."
Natsuki put down the cup and said. "You have me behind you. Maintaining the status quo is only temporary."
"What are you going to do?"
Pakura asked curiously.
"It's not the time yet."
Natsuki smiled slightly and said. "Just ensure your own safety."
"That's not difficult."
Pakura paused and said. "Moreover, after receiving your blood, I clearly feel much stronger."
"Now that you've become a demon, you can also use Blood Demon Arts."
Natsuki reminded her. "Your Blood Demon Art is related to your body."
Pakura looked thoughtful.
At the same time, she was even more curious in her heart. Why did Natsuki's blood have such an effect?
This effect didn't feel like blood a human could possess.
"I'll be leaving first. Rest well."
Natsuki stood up and said.
"Mm."
Pakura thought for a moment and asked. "How should I contact you?"
"Just contact the Daimyo of the Land of Rain."
Natsuki replied.
Pakura was slightly taken aback, surprised but also feeling it wasn't surprising.
With Natsuki's methods, it was normal for him to control the Daimyo of the Land of Rain.
Natsuki opened an Air Door and left the room.
Pakura watched him disappear, lost in thought.
A moment later, she plopped down on the sofa.
She looked down at her curvaceous figure.
Natsuki's gaze was undisguised, and she had thought she wouldn't be able to escape.
But she didn't expect him to just purely appreciate it.
Or perhaps he wasn't in a hurry.
Pakura had never thought about matters between men and women before, and for a moment, her mind was in turmoil.
After a long time, she regained her calm.
Since things had come to this, her thoughts were no longer important because she was no longer in control of herself.
Pakura stood up and walked into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, she headed to the Kazekage's office.
"Pakura?"
Seeing her, the Third Kazekage couldn't help but be somewhat surprised. "I heard you were severely injured."
"Those are just rumors."
Pakura smiled and said. "I only suffered some minor injuries. It won't affect my work."
"That's good."
A flash of confusion crossed the Third Kazekage's eyes.
To be honest, he had already guessed who had done it.
And the Anbu had also sent back reports from the scene. That large pool of blood undoubtedly proved that Pakura had been severely injured.
But the Pakura in front of him indeed seemed fine.
Except for her complexion being slightly pale.
"I will take my leave, Lord Kazekage."
Pakura bowed slightly, turned, and left.
"Go call Rasa and Reki."
The Third Kazekage said expressionlessly.
Not long after, the Anbu brought Rasa and Reki.
"Stop looking. Pakura has returned, and she only suffered minor injuries."
The Third Kazekage spoke up.
"That's impossible!"
Rasa said subconsciously.
Reki also showed a suspicious expression.
"Would I lie to you?"
The Third Kazekage's face darkened as he said. "I am very disappointed in you. You can't even handle this kind of matter cleanly!"
Rasa and Reki instantly felt things were bad.
They didn't dare to say anything more and could only lower their heads and accept the reprimand.
Meanwhile, after Natsuki returned to the Senju clan compound, he stretched.
Controlling Pakura meant the layout for Sunagakure was half complete.
Time reached the following Sunday.
Class 1-A of the Ninja Academy had just finished their first-semester final exams.
But there was one thing that was hotter than the final exams.
"Kakashi, did you really pass the graduation exam?"
Sarutobi Asuma asked with a look of surprise.
"Mm."
Hatake Kakashi nodded and said.
"Graduating in less than a semester, that's simply unimaginable."
Shizune couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"If it's Kakashi, it's understandable."
Nohara Rin praised. "He not only has talent but also works harder than all of us."
"Graduating at five? That's clearly showing off."
Uchiha Obito curled his lip and said. "No matter how much of a genius he is, he can't be more of a genius than Lord Natsuki, and even he graduated at ten."
"Everyone's situation is different."
Nohara Rin said softly.
Hearing this, Uchiha Obito felt even more displeased.
Darn Kakashi!
Why does he love showing off so much?
But on second thought, Kakashi graduating early wasn't a bad thing, because then Rin would only pay attention to him.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Obito couldn't help but smile.
"Lord Natsuki is the goal I'm chasing."
Hearing the name Natsuki, Hatake Kakashi said. "I graduated early so I can become stronger faster."
Life at the Ninja Academy was too easy.
Coupled with the fact that he had always been first place since enrolling, he felt it wasn't challenging, so he wanted to graduate early.
As for Natsuki, it was related to Hatake Sakumo.
In Hatake Kakashi's heart, Hatake Sakumo had always been the person he looked up to, especially his swordsmanship.
It wasn't until one day when Hatake Sakumo said his swordsmanship was inferior to Natsuki's that Hatake Kakashi started paying attention to Natsuki.
This attention indeed left him dumbfounded.
Natsuki's battle record was simply too glorious.
Although he graduated at ten, as soon as he graduated, he defeated powerhouses like Rasa, Pakura, and Hanzo, surpassing the vast majority of ninjas.
"As expected of my lifelong rival! Daring to chase after Lord Natsuki!"
Might Guy gave a thumbs up and said. "I feel my youth burning. I'm going to do three hundred extra laps today!"
Hatake Kakashi's mouth twitched.
Who's your lifelong rival?
For some reason, after school started, Might Guy sought him out every day for so-called youth duels.
At first, he was interested and fought Might Guy a few times, but over time, he completely couldn't stand his relentless pestering.
"Kakashi."
Ishida Yutaka stood at the door and called out.
"I'm leaving first. See you next time."
After saying goodbye to Sarutobi Asuma and the others, Hatake Kakashi stood up and left.
"Kakashi, Lord Hokage has arranged a ninja squad for you."
Ishida Yutaka said with a smile.
"Who is my Jonin instructor?"
Hatake Kakashi asked curiously.
The Jonin instructor's strength determined the upper limit of the ninja squad.
Especially a genius like him needed a powerful Jonin instructor even more.
"You'll meet them when you go to my office."
Ishida Yutaka said mysteriously. "You definitely won't be disappointed."
Hatake Kakashi was instantly interested.
He nodded and followed Ishida Yutaka to his office.
Upon pushing the door open, Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
Because he saw Natsuki and Namikaze Minato.
What's going on?
Could it be that his Jonin instructor was one of them?
"Kakashi."
Namikaze Minato said with a face full of smiles. "You will join Natsuki's and my squads as a temporary member."
"Two squads?"
Hatake Kakashi was momentarily stumped.
"It's like this."
Namikaze Minato explained the reason.
Simply put, because there was no suitable squad of his peers, he would temporarily follow him and Natsuki.
Amidst his astonishment, Hatake Kakashi also felt pleasantly surprised.
After all, both Natsuki and Namikaze Minato were very famous Jonin.
Especially Natsuki.
Many people said he already possessed Kage-level strength.
Hatake Kakashi agreed with this.
After all, Natsuki had defeated his father, Hatake Sakumo.
"We're returning to the Senju clan compound."
Namikaze Minato reached out and used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Hatake Kakashi only felt his vision blur, and he arrived at a new place.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
This is space-time ninjutsu?
But why hadn't he heard that Namikaze Minato knew space-time ninjutsu?
Was he hiding his strength?
"Kakashi."
Nawaki leaned in, familiarly patted his shoulder, and said. "I'm Nawaki. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me."
"Nawaki-sensei."
Hatake Kakashi was slightly taken aback and greeted him.
He also knew Nawaki.
Not only was he skilled in swordsmanship, but he also inherited Senju Tobirama's Water Release.
"Kakashi just joined our squad. To deepen our understanding of each other, I think you guys should have a spar."
Natsuki suggested.
"Sure."
Nawaki said with a smile. "I'm looking forward to the strength of the new generation genius."
The two walked into the field.
Hatake Kakashi took a deep breath and gripped the White Light Chakra Sabre.
His White Light Chakra Sabre was a replica.
The real White Light Chakra Sabre was still being used by Hatake Sakumo.
Nawaki, on the other hand, took out an ordinary ninja sword.
Using Samehada against a five-year-old Hatake Kakashi would be bullying.
Hatake Kakashi accelerated and charged at Nawaki.
The sound of swords clashing rang out continuously.
Nawaki only defended and didn't attack, but he easily blocked Hatake Kakashi's attacks every time.
Hatake Kakashi, however, fought with increasing urgency, sweat gradually seeping from his forehead.
"Amazing."
Namikaze Minato praised.
He was naturally talking about Hatake Kakashi.
"Natsuki, when you were five, was your swordsmanship this good?"
Uzumaki Kushina nudged Natsuki with her elbow and asked curiously.
"No."
Natsuki shook his head and said. "I only started learning swordsmanship at six."
"So his talent is even higher than yours?"
Uzumaki Kushina blinked.
"Learning early doesn't mean having higher talent."
Hearing this, Namikaze Minato said. "Although Kakashi's talent is high, he absolutely cannot compare to Natsuki."
"Mm."
Uzumaki Kushina nodded.
She also didn't think anyone's talent could surpass Natsuki's.
Besides Natsuki, she had never heard of anyone possessing Kage-level strength before reaching adulthood.
The battle ended.
Hatake Kakashi's stamina reached its limit, and he sat directly on the ground, panting heavily.
"No wonder you could graduate at five."
Nawaki sheathed his ninja sword and said. "Your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to your father's."
"From now on, Kakashi will train with us."
Natsuki spoke up. "He's young, so he'll learn swordsmanship and Rokushiki first. When he's a bit older, he'll learn Lightning Release."
"Is his chakra nature Lightning?"
Namikaze Minato asked subconsciously.
If it was Lightning Release, it would be difficult for him to teach Hatake Kakashi.
He excelled in Wind Release, the Rasengan, and the Flying Thunder God Technique.
At most, he could add Rokushiki taught by Natsuki.
"He possesses five chakra natures."
Natsuki replied.
Actually, it was seven, but chakra induction paper could only test five.
"What?"
Namikaze Minato, Nawaki, and Uzumaki Kushina all revealed surprised expressions.
In their impression, only three ninjas possessed five chakra natures: Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Natsuki.
Hatake Kakashi was also very surprised.
Why did Natsuki know his chakra natures?
Did his father, Hatake Sakumo, tell him?
"Is there really going to be another Natsuki?"
Nawaki scratched his head and asked.
"How could it be that easy?"
Uzumaki Kushina snorted lightly and said.
"Natsuki, then why are you having him learn Lightning Release first?"
Namikaze Minato asked curiously.
"Lightning Release can amplify swordsmanship, so he'll learn Lightning Release first."
Natsuki casually made up a reason.
