Recruiting Tenten

"Tenten, come over."

Tenten walked over as instructed. "Lord Natsuki."

Natsuki knew Tenten's recent situation fairly well. The Kubisaki Lizard's recovery had also been going quite smoothly.

Through the Summoning Technique, Tenten had developed a new combat style as well.

Learning the Summoning Technique was not only about summoning more powerful Summoned Beasts. It also involved how long the Summoned Beasts could remain, one's understanding of space, and more.

However, Tenten had talent in these areas, and she had always learned quickly.

Tsunade liked her quite a bit too.

"Our Radiant Country has a considerable demand for ninja tools, and there's also a huge commercial market there. Would you be willing to move your family's business over to my side?"

"Huh?" Tenten was completely stunned.

She did not understand what Natsuki meant. Logically speaking, after Natsuki led the Uchiha Clan out to become independent,

he had established the Radiant Country and Radiant Hidden Village.

Konoha and them should now have been two separate factions.

At first, she had thought Lord Natsuki and Orochimaru did not get along.

Later, she discovered that Lord Natsuki was not only close with Lady Tsunade, but also had a good relationship with the Fifth Hokage.

She could not understand why Lord Natsuki would leave to become independent when he was on such good terms with the Fifth Hokage.

But Natsuki's sudden invitation to Tenten left her feeling flattered.

After all, although Tenten was studying the Summoning Technique under Tsunade, that did not mean her family business was doing particularly well.

During wartime, merchants like her family, who dealt in ninja tools, would certainly have made a fortune.

But the Ninja World had been peaceful for a long time now. Even the conflict between Cloud Village and Mist Village had nothing to do with Tenten's family.
