Chapter 201: The Peculiar Request

Nii Yugito was silent for a moment. Then almost like a conditioned reflex, the whole person rolled on the ground and assumed a defensive posture. Once in position, she could barely open her eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong with Akatsuki people?" Nii Yugito was taken aback, then frowned as she felt her body unrestricted.

Akatsuki went to all that effort to capture her, and their goal couldn't just be to let her out for a walk, right?

"The Akatsuki people are gone and now I'm the only one here." Natsuo said in a calm voice. He was holding a rabbit as he nonchalantly walked towards her.

"You're Natsuo!" Yugito's two widened in surprise, with a cautious look she said: "Is Konoha allied with Akatsuki?!"

"So that's the reason we couldn't find Akatsuki. I thought it was a small country that was secretly protecting them... It turned out that you, Konoha, were protecting them." The more she spoke the more hostile Yugito became.

"Hey, hey..." Natsuo chuckled lightly. "Why do you have so much drama on your mind? If I were allied with Akatsuki, I wouldn't even put restrictions on you? Or worse, let you regain consciousness?"

"Oh, well, it seems that even if I don't put restrictions on you, you still can't escape my hands anyway."

"I was careless. Thinking of it this way, your vigilance is somewhat justified." Natsuo suddenly realized, then nonchalantly sat on the ground, skinning the rabbit and beginning to roast it.

Yugito frowned slightly, but as time passed she slowly let her guard down.

Although she was experiencing a stress reaction after regaining consciousness, she only needed to think a little to understand. Natsuo had sent the Eight-Tails back to Kumogakure during the war, so why would she let Akatsuki try so hard to capture her and the Eight-Tails again?

So....

"It was you who saved me?" Yugito asked.

Only the man in front of her was the one who could rescue someone from Akatsuki's hands.

"Yes." Natsuo nodded. "I heard the news that Akatsuki would evacuate from this direction, so I came here."

"Do you Konoha have spies in Akatsuki?" Yugito got the key point right away.

"Indeed." Natsuo did not deny. "Uchiha Itachi is Konoha's spy."

Yugito looked at him surprised.

"Clan Killer Itachi?"

"Yes."

"Didn't he kill your Uchiha clan?"

"Oh, yes he did. But you don't need to know the details."

Yugito took a deep breath, a slight tremble in her mouth.

Spies often gain the trust of the enemy because they have the blood of their comrades on their hands. However, it seems very strange to Yugito that someone would have massacred such a powerful clan just to be able to send a spy, even more so if it is the spy's own clan.

"So you saved me on purpose, what reward does Konoha want?"

Yugito said calmly: "If you have any request, you can say it. As Fifth Raikage, I can seriously consider it."

She wasn't naïve enough to believe that the Five Great Shinobi Villages were now close allies simply because they had signed a peace treaty. Even if they were, asking for help would always require payment.

"Oh, can I be direct?" Natsuo stroked his chin.

"Of course!"

"I want to have a child with you."

"What?" Yugito was perplexed, she stared at Natsuo in front of her with wide eyes. 'What was this guy saying?'

"I'm saying I want us to have a child." Natsuo said seriously. "Don't you know? I, Uchiha Natsuo, like having children with exceptional kunoichi."

"Are you willing?" As he spoke, he looked at Yugito with great interest.

Yugito: "..."

"No, I'm sorry, you're out of luck!" Yugito said fiercely.

Then she stood up suddenly. "Really, I'm wasting my time here with you... Where is the Hokage? I'm going to talk to her directly!"

'Her reaction was much more extreme than I thought.' Natsuo stroked his chin as he pondered. 'Perhaps I could use the Yumenso to get him to accept my proposal. She is a Kage-level kunoichi, so she could justify using the Mangekyo Technique. Although I might need the technique later. Well, I will make a decision after this situation passes...'

He then said to Yugito: "Why are you looking for the Hokage? I saved you, if you want to reward someone, shouldn't you reward me?"

"Tsunade probably doesn't know about the attack on Kumogakure yet."

"Are you acting privately?" Yugito was surprised. She had always thought that Natsuo was following Tsunade's orders, intending to gain benefits for Konoha, as well as recruiting Kumogakure to take on the Akatsuki organization...

Who knew he was acting alone? Wait, if he was acting alone...

"What about Killer Bee? Where's Killer Bee?" Yugito looked around, and her sensory ninjutsu was pushed to the limit.

She hadn't paid attention to Killer Bee's absence before, after all, there were things that only the Raikage had the right to discuss.

But if Natsuo was acting alone...

What had happened to Killer Bee?

"He was taken by Akatsuki members. They are probably trying to extract the Tailed Beast from him right now." Natsuo said calmly. "Although it's also possible that they haven't done it yet, after all, my ambush scared them a little."

"Is he still in Akatsuki's hands?" Yugito's eyes widened.

"Yes."

"Why didn't you save him?"

"Why should I save him?" Natsuo asked back. "Rescuing a woman may lead to her giving you her heart, but what's the point of saving a man? Just so one can be a hero?"

"When the Akatsuki members asked me if I wanted to keep him, of course I said no... Who would want a big guy like him?"

Yugito's jaw dropped. 'This guy...' She lowered her head. 'Had he really abandoned the hostage?'

But Killer Bee was still under Akatsuki's control, which was beyond Yugito's expectations. Without hesitation, she turned around and left.

"What are you doing?" Natsuo asked.

"I'm going to rescue him!" Yugito answered without hesitation.

"Sorry, you still haven't paid me for the ransom." Natsuo instantly appeared in front of Yugito, shaking his head. "I can't work for free..."

Yugito said angrily: "Akatsuki is the enemy of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, now I am going to cause trouble for Akatsuki, why are you stopping me?"

"Because you didn't pay." Natsuo spread his hands. "I don't care if you go find Akatsuki or not, but if I have worked for you, you must pay me..."

"Of course, if you can escape from Akatsuki by your own strength and prove that my meddling is completely unnecessary, it doesn't matter if you don't pay."

"But if you can't escape, it means that my work was useful, and you should pay me for it."

"You can't just stop paying the salary, right?"

Natsuo had a serious expression, like a construction worker demanding his salary, although Yugito just wanted him to go to hell.

"What payment do you want?" Yugito suppressed her anger.

Natsuo: "Give me a baby."

"Do not even dream about it!" Yugito got angry. "In the Fourth Great Shinobi War, you killed so many of our fellow Kumogakure shinobi, and you still expect me to give you children?"

"You're delusional!"

"Then we can only see if you can escape." Natsuo said with a shrug. "I won't knock you unconscious and take you back to Akatsuki, but if you can escape from me, that'll be fine too."

"Although escaping from me will be a little more difficult, at least you won't be in mortal danger... That should be fair enough."

Yugito gritted her teeth and glared at Natsuo. She then made a sudden leap and soared towards the trees before shooting out a mouse-shaped blue flame from her mouth, quickly heading towards Natsuo.

"Mouse Hairball!"

Natsuo smiled lightly and disappeared in an instant. The next second, he appeared in front of Yugito.

Yugito's body was quickly covered by the Tailed Beast's chakra.

"Jinchuriki Form: Version 1!"

At the same time, the nails on both hands instantly lengthened, similar to the Ninneko's Cat Chakra Claw, then roared as she lunged towards Natsuo.

"Cat Claw!"

"You really are a naughty little kitten." Natsuo smiled lightly, catching Yugito's hands with ease and pressing her down on the ground.

[Boom!]

The earth shook as Natsuo hit it hard, creating a deep crater.

Yugito screamed in pain, and the Tailed Beast's chakra quickly faded away.

"Very good, you proved that you have no ability to escape from Akatsuki." Natsuo smiled. "So, as a captured kunoichi, I guess you have to be prepared for the consequences, right?"

"So I won't be nice to you." As he spoke, he pressed Yugito's hands with one hand and slid the other deep under her neck.

Yugito: "...!"

But she was an experienced kunoichi, who had been through countless battles, so even though Natsuo had found something, she barely showed any signs of disturbance.

There was a strange feeling though.

However, she simply changed her expression slightly and regained her usual calm and composure.

"It's just a body, do whatever you want." Yugito said nonchalantly. "It seems that you are looking for this kind of cheap pleasure."

"It's ironic that the most powerful shinobi in the world would let himself be carried away by a woman's body regardless of the overall situation."

"And look, now that I see it you've even changed my clothes... You're quick with your movements."

His expression was calm, no matter the situation, he didn't even frown. On the contrary, there was even a hint of disdain.

"That's all? Come on! As if I'm afraid of you!"

Yugito frowned. "I'm not the Fifth Raikage for nothing!"

Natsuo raised an eyebrow. This girl...

Shinobi, by nature, must be people who endure and tolerate. And kunoichi, trained to the standard of assassins, must also discard any feminine weaknesses and stand firm. They must be able to face adversity without giving in, even in the face of their own weaknesses.

Despite attempts at manipulation, torture, and even shameful punishments, they must keep their will firm and not allow their will to be shaken.

However, in reality, almost no kunoichi can achieve this. After all, pain and insults cause anger when it comes to abuse...

Even if you have a stronger will, the body will instinctively give way.

But Yugito was different!

No matter how Natsuo touched her, she didn't change her expression. Her face did not show even the slightest emotion, as if her body had no sensations at all.

"Does your body... have no sensation due to some modification? Or is it just your will that is preventing any reaction on your part?" Natsuo looked at her seriously and raised an eyebrow. "Is this possible?"

"How can the weak of Konoha understand the will of the Kumo shinobi?" Yugito let out a light snort, keeping his expression unfazed.

Natsuo took a deep breath and said, "Amazing."

"As expected of Fifth Raikage, it seems that everyone underestimated you."

In the Naruto Series, Yugito was only a Jinchuriki who was easily captured by Akatsuki, and her strength is only of ordinary Kage level. But this willpower...

To be honest, Natsuo almost thought she was from the One Piece World.

In fact, after Natsuo paid attention, Yugito possessed very strong mental strength. He had never encountered someone with such strength.

"I can become Fifth Raikage, do you think it's a fluke?" Yugito snorted coldly.

Natsuo was slightly silent, this woman's will was really terrifying.

Although currently her strength was not as great as Killer Bee's, but her potential far exceeded his.

However, the Shinobi World valued blood inheritance too much. But if it were transferred to a world where effort and willpower are more important...

She could become very strong.

"Awesome." Natsuo slowly withdrew his hand and sighed softly. "Looks like you won't change your mind anytime soon."

"Not even in the long term." Yugito answered calmly.

She looked at him, a mocking expression on her face. "Akatsuki has already defeated Kumogakure. Now, the only Tailed Beast they have left uncaptured is Konoha's Nine-Tails. Their next target will be Konoha!"

"At this point, are you really thinking about flirting?" Yugito's gaze turned cold, as if she was looking at a scum. "After Itachi took great risks to provide you with information, you use it to trick a woman from another village into giving you children?"

However, Natsuo looked at Yugito strangely. "Who said he was the one who told me?"

Yugito's pupils constricted. Before she could say anything else, her eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness.

Natsuo slowly withdrew the hand that knocked her unconscious.

"I'm sorry, although it was a bit abrupt, but my time is limited..." Natsuo said softly. "I would appreciate it if you could get some sleep."

Then he took her to the Ryuchi cave so that the Snake Princesses could take care of her.

After returning he headed in a certain direction at full speed, after all the time of the agreed meeting was approaching...
