Chapter 116 Kushina Possession

Tsunade asked, "Do you think the old man would contact Danzo?"

"In Konoha, Danzo can only contact his former friends from the same period, so keeping an eye on them is the right thing to do; and I have also ordered the ninja squads on missions at the border to send a message immediately if they encounter them."

Hakuun Yosuke told Tsunade that he had two identities in Konoha: the Fifth Hokage's disciple and the Shogun of the Land of Fire.

Moreover, he frequently issues orders, and Tsunade also gives orders to the Anbu that they can completely obey Hakuun Yosuke, so he is basically the Sixth Hokage.

Two years is enough time for Hakuun Yosuke to command 70-80% of the ninjas in Konoha, and even the ninja clans will not ignore his orders.

"Tsunade-sensei, when the Third Hokage returns, go and ask him. If he lies to you, then he's probably in contact with Danzo."

After the ANBU member who reported the news left, Shirakumo Yosuke spoke to Tsunade.

He felt that the Third Hokage wouldn't reveal Danzo's whereabouts, given that he was so lenient towards Danzo that even Yosuke Shirakumo couldn't understand it.

For someone who constantly tried to usurp his position and even sent people to kill him, Hiruzen Sarutobi only gave him a warning.

Those who know them understand that these two have been teammates for decades, but those who don't might think that Shimura Danzo is Hiruzen Sarutobi's eldest son.

Tsunade bit her finger and said, "I'll go ask him, but don't overthink it. The old man probably has some personal matters or a mission."

"What kind of mission could possibly warrant the departure of a former Hokage, especially within the Land of Fire? Tsunade-sensei, don't lie to yourself."

Shirokumo Yosuke shrugged. Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions were too strange. The Sarutobi clan had done this a few times before, but they hadn't investigated it thoroughly then.

Besides, he was Tsunade's teacher after all. If Hiruzen Sarutobi just became a retired old man, Yosuke Shirakumo wouldn't bother with him. But if he was restless, then he would have to be dealt with.

However, Tsunade needs to be disappointed in Hiruzen Sarutobi first before Yosuke Shirakumo can make his move.

After saying all this, Tsunade asked about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Jinchuriki are the ultimate source of strength for a ninja village. In the ninja world, the most destructive force is the tailed beast, a fact universally acknowledged.

When a forbidden technique of ultimate level can rival the power of a Tailed Beast Ball, it is already considered a god in the eyes of other ninjas.

In another future, the Sand Village dared to attack Konoha based solely on Gaara's feigned sleep technique; this was partly due to being pushed to the limit, and partly due to their overconfidence in the One-Tailed Beast.

Originally, Tsunade didn't have much hope for Naruto Uzumaki in the short term. After all, he was just a kid with the strength of a Chunin. If he wanted to control the power of the Tailed Beasts through his training, it would take at least ten years.

But Yosuke Shirakumo gave her a pleasant surprise; in the future, when war breaks out again, she won't have to worry about Jinchuriki from other ninja villages.

Afterwards, Shirokumo Yosuke demanded a reward for this, and only when Tsunade could no longer bear it did she send Shirokumo Yosuke away.

However, before kicking Shiraku Yosuke out of the office, Tsunade asked him if he was going home that night.

She's not allowed to go to Kurenai's place for the time being, and Yosuke Shirakumo will naturally go home to rest. There are only three places in Konoha that belong to him: the house built in his name is where Mikoto Uchiha and Sasuke live, Kurenai's apartment, and Tsunade's house.

As they were leaving the Hokage Building, Shirakumo Yosuke ran into Kakashi's team, who were returning from a mission.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto also went up to greet Shirakumo Yosuke after seeing him.

"Yosuke! It's been so long!"

"Yosuke-sama."

Sasuke and Kakashi nodded in acknowledgment; neither of them were talkative.

Shiraku Yosuke waved and laughed, "You've completed the first task so quickly? Well done!"

Naruto Uzumaki laughed confidently, "Of course! After all, I'm going to be the first to pass the Chunin Exams and then become Hokage!"

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but say, "Just don't cause trouble for me and Karin next mission, you loser."

"What did you say?"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing and go hand in your mission. It seems you know about the Chunin Exams too. I won't say anything more."

Bai Yunyou paused for a moment, then continued to say to Sasuke, Naruto, and Karin, "The three of you are my promising talents. If you fail and are eliminated in the Chunin Exams, you'd better prepare to face my wrath."

These words made both Naruto and Sasuke swallow hard.

Although Shiraku Yosuke is usually cheerful and easy to talk to, he can be quite ruthless when he gets angry. The two of them had only met once before, and that time he suffered terribly.

"I'm off now, good luck to you guys."

After saying this, Shiraku Yosuke said goodbye and left.

However, just a short while after he left, Kushina's voice rang in his ears: "Is Naruto back? Hey, as promised last time, let me use your body. Today is the chance!"

Shirokumo Yosuke sighed. He had just untied her clothes when he left the Hokage's office, and then he ran into Uzumaki Naruto by sheer coincidence.

After his consciousness entered the sealed space, Shirakumo Yosuke said dismissively, "What's the rush? Naruto Uzumaki will be staying in Konoha for a few more days anyway."

Upon hearing this, Kushina quickly retorted, "You're lying! You already said you'd give Naruto more missions, and he might leave the village again in a couple of days. Do you want to break your promise?!"

She even changed into white stockings, and this brat still managed to fool her? How awful!

"Who said it's a lie?"

"Then let me use your body for a bit, it'll only take the time it takes to cook a meal!"

Kushina, with a fierce aura, strode up to Shirokumo Yosuke with her slender, white-stockinged legs, demanding, "Didn't you already see the white stockings? Why won't you agree?!"

After speaking, she stomped her foot on the ground, drawing Bai Yunyangjie's attention to her long, white-stockinged legs.

"Okay, I'll say yes later."

Thinking that Kushina could still be of great help in the future, Shirakumo Yosuke agreed to her request.

If another war breaks out, and if Yosuke Shirakumo's opponent is a Jinchūriki, then Kushina can fight him inside his body using the Adamantine Chains, making her a humanoid Tailed Beast.

----------

Ding Dong!

When Mikoto Uchiha opened the door, she was surprised to see Yosuke Shirakumo standing outside. She said, "Yosuke-kun? Welcome! Sasuke went on a mission and hasn't returned yet."

"Hello, Mikoto. Ahem, Mrs. Mikoto."

Kushina had just greeted him warmly when Shirakumo Yosuke warned her that if she were exposed, he would seal her away immediately.

"Please come in and talk, Yosuke-kun."

Mikoto Uchiha was a little confused, but she still stepped aside to let Yosuke Shirakumo into the house, since he had provided it for her.

"Sasuke and Naruto are back, but they've gone to turn in their mission. They'll be back soon. I'm cooking for Naruto."

Kushina held up the bag in her hand, which was full of freshly bought vegetables and meat.

Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha's eyes widened in confusion. "Huh? Cooking for Naruto?"

"Haha. Naruto hasn't been eating properly lately, so I'm taking care of him. Anyway, where's the kitchen?"

Kushina asked with a laugh, but the more she explained, the stranger it sounded, so she decided to go straight to the kitchen.

Mikoto Uchiha pointed and said, "Over there."

"Then I'll go cook now, Mrs. Mikoto."

After saying that, Kushina picked up the groceries and hurried to the kitchen, closing the door behind her. But she quickly opened the door again, peeking out and saying to Uchiha Mikoto...

"Mikoto, when they get back, tell them to get ready for dinner."

"Oh, okay, I understand."

Uchiha Mikoto paused for a moment before nodding, but then saw Shirakumo Yosuke close the kitchen door, which puzzled her greatly.

"Why is Yosuke acting so strange today?"

And the tone of voice when you called her name just now seemed familiar.

A short while later, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Karin Uzumaki returned.

The latter two usually had nowhere to go and had been coming here often in the past two years, so they came along after the mission ended; although Sasuke complained about Naruto, he still took the initiative to give Naruto slippers.

"Welcome, Naruto-kun. Karin, dinner will be ready soon. Go wash your hands first."

Uchiha Mikoto greeted him at the door, smiling gently as she said, "Naruto-kun, Yosuke-kun specially made lunch for you today."

"Huh? Yosuke? How could he?"

Naruto was taken aback and puzzled. When they met at the Hokage Building, she said she had something to do. Why was she suddenly at Aunt Mikoto's house and saying she wanted to cook for him?

The last time I ate food cooked by Yosuke Shirakumo was more than a year ago.

After the three of them finished washing up and sat down at the dining table, Kushina had just finished cooking and brought the food to the table one by one.

"Hey, how about ramen for lunch?"

"This is my specially made deluxe ramen!"

Kushina said smugly, then said to everyone, "Eat up!"

Uchiha Mikoto's eyes widened slightly upon seeing it. She didn't know how it tasted, but it was definitely luxurious; the char siu, prawns, and other ingredients alone were plentiful, piled up like a small mountain.

"Let's get started!"

After the three finished speaking, they began to eat the ramen with gusto. Sasuke and Karin thought it was just so-so. They had eaten Shirakumo Yosuke's cooking before, but this time it felt much worse. However, the two were very tactful and didn't say anything.

After taking a few bites, Naruto smacked his lips and said, "It tastes alright, but it's not quite as good as the food you made before, Yosuke. I wish it were as delicious as it was."

Kushina clenched her fists and said to Naruto, "Stop talking nonsense and eat it all!"

"Yes, yes!"

Naruto was startled and quickly started eating his ramen.

Naruto quickly finished the large bowl of ramen, and Kushina kept piling food onto his plate before asking with a grin, "It was delicious, wasn't it? Consider it a gift for your first mission."

"Mmm, delicious."

A strange emotion welled up inside Naruto, then he smiled and gave Kushina a thumbs-up, saying, "It's really delicious, even better than Ichiraku Ramen!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina scratched her head contentedly and chuckled, "Hehe, it's not that great."

At this moment, Mikoto Uchiha was somewhat certain of her guess. She then coughed and said to Sasuke, "Sasuke, tidy up here. Mom and Yosuke-kun have something to say."

After saying that, he took Kushina's hand and walked towards the bedroom.

"Huh? Mikoto, wait a minute, I haven't finished."

After being led to the bedroom, Uchiha Mikoto said to "Kushina" with certainty, "You're Kushina, right?"

"No, I am Shirakumo Yosuke, Mrs. Mikoto."

"Stop pretending, Kushina. You suddenly want to cook for Naruto-kun, and you even have that catchphrase. The way you address me is exactly the same as before. You must be Kushina."

Mikoto Uchiha said with certainty that she had forgotten how Kushina addressed her because it had been so long since they last met; it wasn't until she saw Kushina's relationship with Naruto that she suddenly remembered.

"What's going on? Why are you using Yosuke-kun's body? Is this some kind of forbidden technique?"

Mikoto's first thought was of forbidden techniques, since she was currently surviving in the ninja world by relying on the Impure World Reincarnation.

"It was an accident, really. I was trying to fool you, but I didn't expect you to be so clever, Mikoto."

Kushina, realizing she could no longer hide it, had no choice but to confess.

However, Mikoto shook her head. With so many flaws, Karin probably noticed something was wrong. Only Naruto didn't expect it. He's just like his mother. But Mikoto didn't say this.

"Luckily, that guy was teaching Kurama a lesson, so I was able to tell you that my last bit of chakra was actually sealed into Naruto's body by Minato, but two years ago, when that guy was extracting Kurama's chakra, he accidentally extracted my chakra into his body as well, so it remained."

Kushina pointed to her head, looking indignant.

"After that, I made a deal with this guy. He would take care of Naruto for me, and I would teach him sealing techniques and help him subdue the other half of the Nine-Tails. I'm borrowing his body today because I miss Naruto so much."

Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha understood Kushina's current situation; due to an accident, she had entered Yosuke Shirakumo's body and was now essentially parasitizing it, having reached an agreement to help each other.

However, Kushina is indeed dead.

"Kushina"

Mikoto was just about to ask Kushina if she could be resurrected like her, so that she could take care of Naruto more easily.

But before she could finish speaking, Kushina leaned in and whispered something in Mikoto's ear.

"Mikoto, you'd better watch out, this brat really likes pretty women."

"Eh?"

"He often makes unreasonable demands. This time, I only agreed to let him use my body to cook for Naruto after I was wearing white stockings. You're so pretty, you have to be careful."

"Hehe...hehe"

Mikoto gave an awkward laugh, not believing Kushina's words at all; she had seen Shirakumo Yosuke very few times in the past two years, and had never accepted Shirakumo Yosuke's invitation to dinner.

Besides, she's currently in Edo Tensei form, unable to even eat, drink, or sleep, so how could she possibly do *that*? Kushina's worries are completely unfounded.

"Really, you believe me, that guy."

Before she could finish speaking, Kushina's expression suddenly changed. She glanced left and right before immediately sitting back down.

"Mrs. Mikoto, that idiot didn't say anything unnecessary to you, did he?"

Seeing that familiar gaze and tone, Uchiha Mikoto realized that the person in front of her was Shirakumo Yosuke, whom she knew from before, and quickly said...

"No, Yosuke-kun, Kushina only shared some of her experiences."

After nodding, Shirokumo Yosuke said, "That idiot just talks about trivial things and sometimes causes a lot of trouble. It's fine as long as he didn't say anything. Well then, I'll leave you here today, Mrs. Mikoto."

"No, it's okay."

Mikoto Uchiha waved her hand and laughed, "It's good to see a good friend. I'm sorry to have troubled Yosuke-kun today."

Shirokumo Yosuke nodded, then got up and walked outside.

He had just tried to suppress the Nine-Tails' consciousness and forgot to monitor Kushina's movements; who knew that in just a short while, Kushina was already clinging to Uchiha Mikoto with her body.

I think I said something I shouldn't have; I'll settle the score with her when I get back.

However, just as Shirakumo Yosuke was about to leave, Uchiha Sasuke called out to him: "Yosuke, I have some questions I'd like to ask you. May I bother you for a moment?"

"Let's not go outside."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yunyang agreed. Once in the woods outside with Uchiha Sasuke, he asked, "What's the problem? Is it about training?"

"No, it's about the Uchiha clan. But were you alright just now?"

"Of course it's okay, go ahead and ask."

Sasuke Uchiha had some doubts, but he still got down to business, saying, "Yosuke, you are now the shogun of the Land of Fire and a disciple of the Hokage. Do you know what happened to the Uchiha clan back then?"

Shiraku Yosuke nodded and asked in return, "I roughly know. What do you want to ask? The inside story?"

"My mother taught me how to throw shuriken. She used her Sharingan better than I did, and she was just a retired Jonin from the Uchiha clan. If you include the entire security force, even if Itachi Uchiha was incredibly strong, he couldn't possibly handle that many people."

The Uchiha voiced his suspicions: "Even if he awakened a special Sharingan capable of killing all his clansmen, why didn't anyone come to his aid for so long? Is there something more to the Uchiha clan's story?"

"have!"

Bai Yun Youjie said bluntly, "Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi still has helpers, but you're too weak right now. Knowing the inside story won't do you any good. Wait until you defeat Kakashi, or reach the same level of strength as him, and then I'll tell you."

"Also, you'd better look for Orochimaru more often; his understanding of techniques is definitely better than Kakashi's."

Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath; he still needed strength!

He then nodded and said, "I understand. I'll ask you again after I win first place in the Chunin tournament and have Kakashi's strength."

Shiraku Yosuke nodded, but then he suddenly asked curiously, "If you knew the inside story of the Uchiha clan and discovered that Uchiha Itachi also had his reasons, what would you do?"

"A compelling reason."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke fell silent for a moment, his expression showing some struggle, and he clenched his fists tightly.

After struggling internally for a while, he slowly spoke, "No matter what his reasons were, they were not an excuse for him to kill his parents and his entire clan."

"Many others in the Uchiha clan have suffered the same fate as my mother, causing her such grief. Regardless of his reasons, he killed his parents and his entire clan—that's an inescapable fact!"
