Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 140 Sakura's Arrival

"How could you let Naruto and the other two fight against the pursuing Jonin? It's too dangerous. What if something happens?"

"Stop nagging, Kushina. Just focus on refining the Nine-Tails' chakra for me. You have your own mission to complete, so don't worry about others."

Yosuke Shiraku interrupted Kushina, saying that not only Kushina, but he himself was also diligently refining the Nine-Tails' chakra; it was just that with Kushina's help, the efficiency was faster and easier.

After passing through Shirokumo Yosuke with the Vajra Chain, she then bound it to the Yin Nine-Tails, continuously absorbing the tailed beast's chakra. However, when the Yin Nine-Tails' tailed beast chakra reached Shirokumo Yosuke, the darkness and negative emotions within the chakra were blocked, and only the pure tailed beast chakra was absorbed by Kushina.

Yosuke Shirakumo acts as a filter.

"Don't give people weird names. I'm only staying here temporarily because of Naruto. Don't treat me like a tailed beast, you damn brat!"

When she said the last sentence, Kushina's voice suddenly lowered; she was in a bad mood if she didn't say it, but she was afraid of being punished if she did, so she could only resort to this self-deceptive method.

The Yin Nine-Tails was in a more pitiful state. Not only were its limbs pinned down, but its nine tails and mouth were also trapped, preventing it from even roaring. It could only passively have its chakra extracted.

Moreover, Yosuke Shirakumo was quite blunt. He had no interest in the perfect Jinchuriki; the Nine-Tails was just his power bank. As for getting along well with the Tailed Beasts or having a mutual understanding, Yosuke Shirakumo was unwilling to do any of that.

With cloning, artificial tailed beast technology, and the forbidden fusion technique of Orochi, Shiraku Yosuke can create the Ten-Tails himself, and the Ten-Tails created with his genes will be absolutely in tune with his mind.

Why should he bow down to the tailed beasts for power, especially since the power of the nine tailed beasts is no match for the ten-tailed beast!

*Sizzle sizzle sizzle*

A large amount of Nine-Tails chakra was continuously purified and absorbed, and a chakra source resembling the sun was stored in the sealing space above Kushina's head.

Only when the Nine-Tails was almost emaciated and had no strength left to resist did Shiraku Yosuke stop absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Phew~~ It's finally over. I've really helped you a lot this time. Wait, what's wrong with your eyes?"

After Kushina retrieved the Vajra Chain, just as she was about to claim credit, she suddenly noticed Shirakumo Yosuke walking towards her with red eyes—truly red eyes in the real sense; the whites of his eyes had turned black, while his eyeballs had turned red, and his entire being radiated dark energy.

"What, what are you going to do?"

Kushina asked with a hint of lingering fear. She suddenly felt something was wrong and subconsciously tightened the collar of her dress.

"I need a lap pillow, please."

"Huh!?"

Seeing Kushina's bewildered expression, Shiraku Yosuke sat down, then lay down on his side and said, "Hey, didn't we already agree that I could rest my head on your lap whenever I wanted? The Nine-Tails has too much darkness and negative emotions, which affects my emotions and judgment. Only this method can slowly eliminate them. It's a pity that Kurenai isn't by my side."

"You bastard"

Kushina blushed and shouted, but because of her promise, she couldn't send Shirakumo Yosuke away, so she could only look at this guy.

"You bastard!! All that talk about the Nine-Tails' negative emotions is just an excuse, you're just really horny!"

"How could you slander someone's innocence? I thought that as someone who had also been corrupted by the negative emotions of the Nine-Tails' chakra, you would understand that only love could stop your rampage back then. I never expected that you misunderstood me so deeply."

Kushina felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She had indeed been affected by the dark side of the Nine-Tails' chakra several times, and often relied on love to break free. Wait, wait, she didn't do that kind of thing! Kushina quickly realized!

"Hey? Hey! Hey! Don't turn your face away!"

Kushina was about to retort when she suddenly noticed that Shirakumo Yosuke, who was resting his head on her lap, suddenly rolled over and lay face down. Kushina, feeling ashamed and indignant, quickly reached out to push him away.

While pushing her, Kushina said, "You're just trying to take advantage of me, aren't you?"

However, after pushing for a while without success, Shirokumo Yosuke's face seemed to be glued to her leg, and he even said "Thank you for the treat," which made Kushina furious. After getting a chance to go out, she gave up in a huff.

A while later in the real world, Samui approached Shirakumo Yosuke, who was lying on the sofa, and paused for a few seconds as she reached out her hand.

He then patted Shirakumo Yosuke on the shoulder and said in a cool tone, "Lord Yosuke, Lord Yosuke."

"Samui?"

After returning from the sealed space, Shiraku Yosuke sat up and asked, "What is it?"

"A man named Kazuma reports to you that all the experimental equipment you requested has been delivered and is located at Experiment Field No. 3."

Experiment Site No. 3 was originally the place where the Hidden Cloud Village manufactured chakra cannons. It had ample power supply and a large area. However, after the chakra cannons were taken away by Yosuke Shirakumo and transported back to Konoha by the Anbu, the site became empty.

After Shirakumo Yosuke had his plan for the Ten-Tails' husk, he took over the area.

"Where's Kazuma?"

Samui said, "He seems to have other tasks, so he left after reporting."

It was only then that Shiraku Yosuke remembered that he had arranged a lot of things for Kazuma.

After getting up, Shirakumo Yosuke had Samui summon the Konoha Anbu, and then had them bring Yugito and Killer Bee to Experiment Site No. 3.

After Shiraku Yosuke arrived, he set up a high-level early warning barrier outside, and also secretly raised several snake dens and hid the Flying Thunder God mark before he could barely feel at ease.

Soon, Yugito and Killer Bee were brought over. Both of them were in poor mental condition, with three seals on their bodies, and they couldn't even refine their chakra. They were just like ordinary people.

By cloning one's own experimental subject and simulating the environment of a mother's womb, and culturing it with more than ten times the nutritional environment, a baby embryo can be cultivated in less than a month.

Then, the necessary influences for the baby's development can be increased. With continuous artificial regulation, the clone will not develop abnormally. A mature clone with a physical age of about seventeen or eighteen years can be cultivated within five months.

However, this approach also has drawbacks. Accelerating physical growth can cause mental and spiritual development to lag behind. Human consciousness and soul cannot be "accelerated," so even if knowledge is instilled through ninjutsu, it will be useless.

But this is the best option for Shiraku Yosuke. He doesn't need the clone to have its own consciousness; he will directly use the spirit parasitism technique to take over the clone's body.

At that time, the clone was him, the tailed beast was him, and the Ten-Tails was still him; after devouring the Ten-Tails, Shirokumo Yosuke was himself inside and out, without any trace of other beings' consciousness.

Having realized this, Shiraku Yosuke activated the experimental equipment, preparing to create his own clone; however, noticing that there were other people present, he spoke up.

"Samui, if you have nothing else to do, go help Mabui. You can't help me with what I'm going to research next, so go help Mabui distribute tasks."

The missions accumulated by the Hidden Cloud Village have been gradually handed over to the former Hidden Cloud genin. However, they have now all become Hidden Leaf genin. Those with headbands have temporarily changed to headbands, while those without headbands have bandages with Hidden Leaf patterns to represent their identity as Hidden Leaf ninjas.

The genin don't have a strong sense of belonging to Kumogakure. Many genin have families to support, and if they don't have missions for a while, their savings will run out, and they won't be able to carry heavy loads.

So after becoming a Konoha ninja meant they could continue taking on missions, many genin who were thinking about their families hesitated for a while before putting on Konoha headbands, becoming Konoha genin, and regrouping to do missions.

Samui and Tsuchitai have been busy with this for a while. Although Tsuchitai has not yet agreed to join Konoha, he is actually already doing work for Konoha.

"Yosuke-sama."

Samui turned and walked towards the door, then stopped, unable to contain his worry, and asked, "Excuse me... how will they be?"

"Them? You mean Yugito and Killer Bee, right? Let me think. Both Yugito and Killer Bee seem to be die-hard loyalists of Kumogakure. Samui, you already know how to deal with people like that, right?"

Most of the loyalists of Yunren Village are still imprisoned in Yunlei Gorge, but their numbers have decreased significantly. In addition, they have all been put in handcuffs and leg irons, so there are far fewer guards.

Even so, many people still tried to escape, either becoming wandering ninjas or seeking revenge against Konoha, with the latter accounting for 70-80%. They were loyal to Kumogakure and regarded Konoha as their mortal enemy, and after escaping, they thought about revenge all the time.

That's why Hakuun Yosuke sent out Sasuke and many other ninja squads to hunt down these ninjas; otherwise, if they escaped to the Land of Fire to take revenge, it would be a real problem.

Yugito and Killer Bee are probably the most loyal of the Cloud Ninja. Killer Bee is the most loyal, being the younger brother of the Fourth Raikage, who was killed by Yosuke Hakukumo. There is no possibility that he will surrender.

There is still a sliver of hope for Muren to seek refuge with, but the hope is very slim.

"Lord Yosuke, please spare their lives, they..."

Before Samui could finish speaking, Shirakumo Yosuke interrupted him, saying, "You don't mean to suggest that they might still have a chance to defect, do you? Samui, don't say or do anything unnecessary. Go and help Mabui."

As he spoke, Shiraku Yosuke had already walked to Samui's side. Looking at this aloof and beautiful woman with exotic charm, he initially intended to stroke her hair like a pet, but his hand involuntarily pinched Samui's tender cheek instead, and he said to her...

"Go find Mabuya. I'll call you if I need anything."

Bai Yunyou is now focused on cultivating clones, so he directly drove Samui away; although it's nice to have a fair-skinned, beautiful, and busty female subordinate to feast his eyes on, he won't reveal his trump card because of that.

Clones – Spirit Parasitic Clones – Clones Tailed Beast Transformation – Clones Orochi Fusion Technique – Evolves into Ten-Tails Clones!

This is Hakuun Yosuke's ultimate goal: after the chakra of the nine tailed beasts is fused together, it can evolve into Yin-Yang Release and Bloodline Limit, and it will be Hakuun Yosuke's own Bloodline Limit.

"Eight-Seal Barrier!"

Yosuke Shirakumo set up another barrier technique in the laboratory. This was another barrier that Kushina taught him. It could isolate perception and block enemies. Ordinary people couldn't get in at all. Even if they could force their way in, he would use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get there.

"Next, let's begin creating clones."

------------

"Phew, we've finally arrived at Cloudwood City. But is this really the original Cloud Village?"

Kiba Inuzuka took a deep breath after entering Kumoki City and then looked around. They knew almost nothing about Kumogakure before, not even in textbooks, and they never expected it to be Konoha territory now.

However, after looking around, Kiba Inuzuka immediately tensed up. He noticed that the civilians around him seemed to be looking at them, the group of people who had just entered, with indifferent eyes.

"What's going on? Why are they all looking at us like that?"

"Stupid teeth!"

Sakura Haruno pulled Kiba Inuzuka aside and whispered, "You know, this used to be the enemy's ninja village, but we conquered and occupied it; there must be a lot of people who are hostile to us, otherwise there wouldn't be so many guards."

A hundred or so ninja guards are usually enough for an ordinary ninja village, but the guard force of Cloudwood City has five hundred men, three hundred inside and two hundred outside, and the guards are very strict.

Shino Aburame adjusted her sunglasses and said to Kiba Inuzuka, "Kiba, since Kurenai-sensei isn't here, we'd better be careful. If you're thinking of taking a stroll around Cloudwood City after your mission, you should probably give up on that idea as soon as possible."

Recently, the number of A-rank and S-rank missions in Konoha has surged. Even Shirakumo Yosuke's team has received a significant increase in A-rank and S-rank missions, and even Uchiha Sasuke's team has received an S-rank mission.

Many outstanding Jonin have regrouped, forming elite teams with another Jonin or two Chunin to complete high-level missions.

Although Sakura Haruno, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka's squad did not disband, they could no longer carry out missions with Kurenai Yuhi and could only participate in group escort missions with the main force.

This time, they came to Yunmu City as a small squad in the medical escort unit.

"I understand."

Kiba Inuzuka reluctantly agreed. He had come all the way to the former Hidden Cloud Village and had originally planned to explore it thoroughly.

"Don't get separated. You'll have a short rest after the mission is completed, but anyone who falls behind now will be marked as having failed the mission!"

The team leader transporting the medicine relayed a message to everyone: even in Yunmu City, they dared not relax their vigilance in the slightest.

The A-level mission was not considered complete until Kakashi was met and the transported medicines were handed over to the warehouse.

Because the storage scrolls were concentrated and lent to the Hidden Mist Ninja, Konoha's storage scrolls were also very scarce; this large batch of medicine could only be transported by manpower, and some of them were CSE capsules.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hayate and Genma."

After handing over the medicine, Kakashi caught up with his old friends, asking, "I didn't expect you guys to come too, and with so many new recruits."

"There's no other way. The Grass Ninja and Takigakure ninja are causing a lot of damage in the Land of Fire, and many ninjas have been sent out to hunt them down. If we don't use new recruits, even keeping watch at night will be difficult."

"Many Jonin and Chunin have formed pursuit teams to deal with them, and there are hardly any people left in the village."

Hayate Gekko said weakly. Although he was a little weak, he still had the strength of a special Jonin.

"So, how's it going on your end?"

Kakashi replied with deadpan eyes, "It's so-so, just patrolling and guarding every day. Since you're here, come with me to see Lord Yosuke later. Take this opportunity to bring something back to the village."

Hayate Gekko and Genma Shiranui asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Don't ask about that. Anyway, their rank won't be lower than S-rank. But no one should be paying attention to a team that just returned to Konoha after completing a mission."

They all understood Kakashi's implication: the matter was highly confidential and related to the Hidden Cloud Village; if it were leaked, it would likely attract a lot of attention.

"However, Lord Yosuke has been missing a lot lately, as if he's busy with something. I'll report your arrival to Lord Yosuke's guardian ninja later. He should be looking for you after he receives the message. In the meantime, relax in Cloudwood City for a bit."

"Relax. Can you?"

"Don't worry. If I can't even guarantee the safety of the city, then I, as the captain of the garrison, would be terribly derelict in my duty."

Kakashi waved his hand and said goodbye to Hayate Gekko and Genma Shiranui, preparing to report the matter.

That thing is highly confidential and important, and it's not easy to handle here. It can only be sent back to the village so that the mountain tribe can use instruments to explore the information inside.

After parting ways with Kakashi, Hayate Gekko and Genma Shiranui came out and said to the rest of the team, "Let's disband for now. We might have to stay here for a while. You can explore the city, but it's best not to go out alone."

Although Kakashi told them that Cloudwood City was relatively safe, Hayate Gekko and Genma Shiranui did not want anything to happen to their team members. This time, there were a total of seventeen people in their group, including the two Jonin who led the team, as well as three Chunin and Genin teams.

The reason why Cloud Village was renamed Cloudwood City is because it is as big as a town, and no matter how many guards there are, there will still be blind spots.

After the group disbanded, Kiba Inuzuka put his hands behind his head, looked around, and asked, "Shino, Sakura, what are you planning to do?"

Shino Aburame said, "I don't know, it's up to you."

"I'm thinking of going to see my classmates at the Ninja Academy. I probably don't want to go sightseeing anymore. Sorry, Kiba, Shino."

Sakura clasped her hands together apologetically. Before she set off, she had wondered if she would run into Sasuke, and she never expected that she would actually do so. If Kakashi, a Jonin, was here, then Sasuke should also be in Cloudwood City, right?

"Huh? Are you going to find Sasuke?"

Kiba Inuzuka chuckled and joked, "Sakura's feelings for Sasuke are really strong; she doesn't forget to look for him even after a mission."

"tooth"

Sakura called out a little shyly, then continued, "I'll be leaving now. We'll meet back at our accommodation before tonight."

"Okay, you go ahead. Shino and I will just look around the area. It's a rare treat to be here."

Kiba Inuzuka could no longer suppress his adventurous impulse. After parting ways with Sakura, he grabbed Shino Aburame and headed straight for the city. He had only wandered around Konoha before, and this was the first time he had come to such a far place.

----------

"Kakashi Jonin"

Kakashi heard someone call his name, turned around, and saw a pink-haired girl running towards him. When Sakura got closer, he remembered that she was a new student in Team 10 and seemed to often come to see Sasuke Uchiha.

"Adolescent love is something even war can't stop!"

The thought flashed through Kakashi's mind, and as Sakura approached, he greeted her, "You're Sakura Haruno, right? What can I do for you?"

Sakura asked somewhat shyly, "Um... I wanted to ask if Sasuke and Naruto are in Cloudwood Castle? I haven't seen them in a long time."

"They said they were asking about two people, but Naruto was just a side note, wasn't he?"

Kakashi thought to himself with a deadpan expression, then answered truthfully, "They were here a few days ago, but they went out to carry out a mission after receiving their assignment. As for when they will return, I can't be sure. Perhaps Lord Yosuke knows?"

He only knew that it was a mission of the hunting type. Since he was not involved, Kakashi would not have deliberately inquired about the type of mission. He just happened to overhear it in the house at the time.

"Lord Yosuke? Are you Shirakumo Yosuke?"

Sakura was taken aback, then immediately remembered that Shirakumo Yosuke was the commander of this war, and Yunmu City was no exception.

Sakura was now filled with conflicting emotions. She desperately wanted to see Sasuke Uchiha, but the only way to get specific information about him was through Yosuke Hakuun, who was a pervert. If she went to him herself, she knew she would definitely be subjected to unwanted advances.

"Sakura, what's wrong?"

Kakashi noticed that Sakura had suddenly fallen silent and looked conflicted, so he asked her a question. He didn't want to get involved in his junior's love story, so if there was nothing else, he would go about his own business.

"Um... Jonin Kakashi, could you tell me where Yosuke Shirakumo is?"

Sakura hesitated inwardly, thinking that she was more interested in knowing about Sasuke than being taken advantage of; she could just bear it.

However, after asking the question, Sakura suddenly noticed Kakashi's scrutinizing gaze, so she quickly explained, "I... I wanted to inquire about Sasuke-kun. Also, when I was in Konoha, I learned how to make secret medicines from Yosuke-kun, and I was able to visit his secret medicine research institute."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi relaxed his guard around Sakura somewhat. He also realized he had been overly tense; there was no way Sakura could be bribed by a Cloud Ninja spy. So Kakashi said to Sakura…

"Come with me. I was just about to go see Lord Yosuke if he wants to see you."

After saying that, Kakashi gestured for Sakura to come along, and took her to find Yosuke Shirakumo.

Upon arriving at the research institute in District 3, Kakashi said to Sakura Haruno, "Wait here for a moment. If Lord Yosuke wants to see you, I'll take you in shortly. If he's still busy, then you'll have to wait until next time."

After giving Sakura his instructions, Kakashi used a barrier technique to enter.

"So mysterious. That pervert's airs are getting bigger and bigger."

After Kakashi went inside, Sakura kicked the wall by the roadside in annoyance, then sighed. If it weren't for news about Sasuke, she definitely wouldn't have come to find Yosuke Shirakumo. Although that guy is very handsome, he's too much of a womanizer!

After a while, Kakashi came out of the barrier and waved to Sakura, saying, "Sakura, come with me."

"Here comes Jonin Kakashi."

Although she had been complaining, Sakura quickly approached him now that she had a chance to ask about Sasuke.

Following Kakashi into the barrier, they went through many places and passed two groups of guards. Finally, they saw a beautiful woman with short, light yellow hair, fair skin, and large breasts pass by them.

After the woman walked away, Sakura couldn't help but ask, "Kakashi, wasn't that the Jonin who led the Kumogakure team during the Chunin Exams? What's she doing here?"

"Samui has surrendered to us and is now Lord Yosuke's bodyguard ninja. He also helps Lord Yosuke with some daily tasks."

Kakashi casually replied that Samui's sudden surrender was a bit unexpected, but since Shirakumo Yosuke said it was no problem, they wouldn't interfere further; besides, Samui and Mabui had indeed helped a lot, so in terms of the outcome, they had no reason to doubt them.

"arrive."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he knocked on the door. Hearing the voice from inside, he pushed the door open and went in. Sakura followed behind him. After entering the room, she peeked out from behind Kakashi and saw Yosuke Shirakumo sitting at the table.

"Lord Yosuke, Sakura Haruno has arrived."

Yosuke Shirakumo said, "Thank you, Kakashi. If there's nothing else, please tell Hayate Gekko and Genma Shiranui to come to my place tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Kakashi turned and left, closing the door behind him.

As soon as Kakashi left, Yosuke Shirakumo stood up, walked from behind the table to Sakura, and said, "I didn't expect you to come here, Sakura. Is it because of a mission?"

"Ah, that's right. Kurenai-sensei went to carry out other missions. Our Team 10 is on an escort mission with Jonin Gekko and Jonin Shiranui."

After Sakura finished speaking, she saw a sigh on Shiraku Yosuke's face and immediately guessed what he was thinking. She couldn't help but clench her fist angrily and said, "You bastard, are you regretting that Kurenai-sensei didn't come along?"

"How could that be? I just felt so good to see you, Sakura. So, you came to me to ask about Sasuke Uchiha?"

After finishing speaking, Shirokumo Yosuke took out an intelligence scroll from the table and gestured to Sakura, saying, "Uchiha Sasuke and the others probably won't be back for another three or four days. According to the intelligence, the two Cloud Ninja they were chasing have gone to the Land of Iron."

"Three, four more days? That means I won't be able to see Sasuke-kun at all."

Upon hearing Yosuke Shirakumo's words, Sakura said weakly that she hadn't seen Sasuke in a long time.

"Since there's no news of Sasuke, I'll head back now."

"Wait a minute, Sakura."

Shirokumo Yosuke took Sakura's smooth little hand and then said to her in a serious tone, "Since you're here, then help me out."

Although I'm busy with a lot every day, how can I not enjoy my time to relax?

"Huh? Huh?"

Sakura felt a surge of shyness, then angrily shouted at Shirokumo Yosuke, "Don't think about that kind of thing right away! You're always so irresponsible. Don't you feel bad for Ino? Humph! Now you have a beautiful bodyguard by your side!"

"I promised you I wouldn't look for Kurenai, Sakura. You should keep your promise, especially since you're Ino's friend. If you don't help me, I might not be able to resist going to someone else. So, you're partly to blame too."

Bai Yunyoujie directly spoke nonsense.

Sakura, even more ashamed and indignant, clenched her delicate hands and shouted, "What does this have to do with me? You bastard, you wronged Ino from the very beginning!"

"This is our agreement, you don't want to go back on your word now, do you?"

Yosuke Shirakumo hinted to Sakura, "I originally had some information that could get Sasuke to talk to you, but since you don't want to keep your promise, then..."

"Intelligence? What intelligence?"

Sakura's ears perked up at the prospect of Sasuke talking to her, but seeing that Yosuke Shirakumo remained silent, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. After hesitating for a few seconds, Sakura reluctantly said, "Fine, I'll help you."

"What? Sakura, I didn't hear you."

"I...I'll help you!"

Sakura cried out in embarrassment and anger, but her shyness made her look around until Shirokumo Yosuke smiled and said, "Don't worry, the sounds from inside won't carry out."

"It's all your fault!"

"Come with me to our resting place, Sakura."

After finishing speaking, Shirokumo Yosuke took Sakura's delicate hand and walked towards the lounge next door, which had been reserved specifically for him.
