Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 162 Temari's Pure Love: Dealing with the Traitor!

"Is that all? At least tell Naruto how to train, some chakra techniques and stuff."

From the gates of Konoha to the research base for the secret medicine, Shirakumo Yosuke listened to Kushina's nagging the whole time, as if she was transferring all her nagging to him after Naruto left.

"Alright, Kushina, I've taught you enough. For a smart person, those reminders are sufficient."

Shirokumo Yosuke interrupted Kushina's rambling, saying, "Don't you understand the saying, 'A true teaching can be contained in a single sentence, while false teachings fill countless volumes'?"

"I don't understand, what does that mean?"

Kushina proudly uttered a question befitting an illiterate person, as she, a native of the ninja world, had never heard of such a phrase before.

"What I mean is that when it comes to developing ninjutsu, the direction is the most important thing. You can figure out the techniques yourself. I've already given Naruto the most important thing. Forget it, no matter how much I explain, you'll still think I haven't taken good care of Naruto. So be quiet today."

Yosuke Shirakumo still has a lot of things to deal with: the Flying Fortress needs to be activated and brought back, the Konoha ninja's military equipment needs to be reformed, standardized scientific ninja tools need to be popularized, secret medicine research needs to be conducted, and tailed beast cloning needs to be developed, etc.

This is even with him having delegated many things and not paying much attention to ninja games and other money-making companies lately. If he were to inquire about everything, Shirakumo Yosuke would be too busy to handle it all.

He doesn't have much time to chat with Kushina right now. Even if Kushina seduces him by wearing white stockings, Shiraku Yosuke is busy with his own things.

"Naruto's gone, and you won't let me talk. Are you trying to suffocate me?!"

Kushina crossed her arms and asked, her cheeks puffed up with anger. But after a while, realizing that Shirakumo Yosuke was indeed ignoring her, Kushina couldn't help but ask again, "Can I go find Mikoto?"

"I hope it's alright to look for Mikoto?"

"Speaking of which, Mikoto must be so bored all by herself. Sasuke is probably training too. I wonder what Mikoto does during the day. It's so pitiful for the two of us."

With a grim expression, Shirokumo Yosuke walked into an alley, released Kushina after breaking the seal, and said to her, "I can sense where you are. Don't even think about sneaking out of the village to find Naruto, or I'll immediately release my chakra. And remember to use the Transformation Jutsu."

"Okay, okay, you're such a nag. How could I not know something like this?"

Kushina waved her hand and said that, then used her transformation jutsu to prepare to go and chat with Mikoto, as she hadn't talked to Mikoto in a long time.

After getting rid of Kushina, that nagging girl, Shirakumo Yosuke headed towards the secret medicine research base.

However, she happened to run into an acquaintance on the way, along with two of her teammates.

"Lord Yosuke, it's been a long time."

Temari, who had just come out of the Hokage Building, bowed politely to Shirakumo Yosuke upon seeing him. After she finished greeting him, the two team members beside her also bowed and greeted Shirakumo Yosuke, since they were meeting the shogun of the Land of Fire.

However, besides Temari, there is another person, namely Nara Shikamaru.

It's not surprising that Nara Shikamaru and Temari are together, but how did the two of them run into each other? Temari should have just finished her mission.

"Did you just finish your mission, Temari?"

Shiraku Yosuke asked, then looked at Nara Shikamaru and said, "It's been a long time, Shikamaru-kun."

"Yes, Lord Yosuke."

Nara Shikamaru nodded. Although they had studied in the same class before, his status was now far below that of Shirakumo Yosuke. Even his father had to address Shirakumo Yosuke as "Lord Yosuke" when he met him.

Temari said somewhat embarrassedly, "We just finished a C-rank mission, but there was a slight mishap during the mission, which Shikamaru helped us resolve."

Bai Yunyoujie nodded, then asked, "I see. But do you have time now? I have something I'd like to ask you."

Temari was taken aback by his words. Although she didn't know what Shiraku Yosuke wanted to ask, she nodded and said, "I understand."

After saying goodbye to Nara Shikamaru and his two teammates, he followed Shirakumo Yosuke to the vicinity of the gate of the secret medicine research base, where there was an open space.

Seeing that no one was around, Shirakumo Yosuke asked, "Temari, haven't you returned to Sunagakure since the war ended? Although there's an agreement between Konoha and Sunagakure, the two villages have a good relationship. If you wish to return, I will discuss canceling the agreement with the Kazekage."

Upon hearing this, Temari's face showed a mixture of surprise and delight. Then, a lazy and complaining image flashed through her mind, and she said with an awkward smile, "Although we haven't returned yet, we're gradually adapting to life in Konoha, so there's no need for Lord Yosuke and Father to make things difficult for us."

"Oh? So you have someone you like in Konoha too. Is it Nara Shikamaru from earlier?"

Bai Yunyang asked with a smile, "It's truly rare to encounter such pure love. My greatest interest now is to pluck the flowers of love that belong to others."

"I've heard Ino mention that your two teams often help each other, and many times it's Nara Shikamaru who offers to help you. It seems he's interested in you too."

Upon hearing this, Temari blushed, her hands behind her back clenching shyly. She lowered her head and said, "It's just... helping each other out. Shikamaru is too lazy; sometimes I can't even get him to move."

I hope you two can successfully become a couple.

Shiraku Yosuke sighed meaningfully, saying that with this "devil" around, Temari and Shikamaru's love story probably wouldn't be so smooth.

Before Temari could speak, Shirokumo Yosuke changed the subject and said to her, "I plan to invite the Kazekage to Konoha in twenty days to discuss the aftermath of the war; I originally intended to have the Anbu deliver the message, but since you haven't returned to Sunagakure for so long, I'll leave it to you."

"And your entire squad, you can all go back."

After saying that, Shirokumo Yosuke took out an exquisite scroll, which Samui had prepared yesterday, and another letter was prepared to be sent to Kirigakure.

Inviting Rasa and Mei Terumi was not only for distributing the spoils of war, but also to deepen cooperation; Yosuke Shirakumo also had his own private matters, planning to use the chakra of the One-Tailed and Six-Tailed beasts from Sunagakure and Kirigakure to cultivate his tailed beast clones.

If we add the One-Tailed Beast and the Six-Tailed Beast, his Ten-Tailed Beast clone has fused with six tailed beast clones. In terms of chakra quantity alone, Yosuke Hakuun is truly the number one in the ninja world.

"Going back to the village?"

Upon hearing this, Temari's face lit up with joy. Moreover, it wasn't about sending her back to Sunagakure completely; it was just about letting her return to the village, which could be considered a vacation.

"I understand, Lord Yosuke. I will tell them shortly that I will deliver the scroll to my father as soon as possible."

Hakuun Yosuke nodded and said, "Well, there's not much danger between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. You're a Chunin now, so I won't send anyone to protect you."

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Yosuke."

After expressing her gratitude, Temari couldn't help but say, "Lord Yosuke... he's such a kind person~"

Bai Yunyou raised an eyebrow and said suggestively, "A good person? Don't say that. I was involved in the two recent Shinobi World Wars, and quite a few people died at my hands. I can hardly be considered a good person."

Temari shook her head and said, "Since they are enemies, they should be eliminated. Lord Yosuke is right to do so."

"Haha, then I hope you can keep this view."

After saying this, Shirokumo Yosuke turned and left, heading towards the secret medicine research base; however, after turning around, the expression on his face became quite interesting. Fortunately, Kushina was kicked out, otherwise she would probably have noticed what Shirokumo Yosuke was thinking at this moment.

"This is getting more and more interesting. A love based on mutual admiration and a completely trusted 'good person,' only to fall into depravity and disbelief after the truth comes out, ultimately giving up everything. Isn't this the standard script?"

Shiraku Yosuke thought to himself that he suddenly felt a desire to push forward the script for Temari.

As for Temari, who remained behind, although she was somewhat puzzled by Shirakumo Yosuke's last words, her heart was quickly filled with joy, and she turned around to find her two teammates.

Not long after, they encountered the three on their way back. To Temari's surprise, Nara Shikamaru was still there and hadn't left.

Noticing Temari's surprised gaze, Nara Shikamaru turned away, looking embarrassed, and said, "It wasn't because I was worried. They just called me back, and I didn't know what to do back home, so I stayed a little longer."

Temari smiled and leaned forward slightly, saying, "Eh? Well, thank you for your concern."

"You're so nagging. I already said it wasn't because I was worried."

Nara Shikamaru blushed slightly as he spoke, then casually asked, "Is there something you can't solve?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I need to ask my father to come to Konoha, we have to go back to Sunagakure."

Upon hearing Temari's words, the other two female ninjas immediately looked over happily and confirmed with Temari again. After learning that they could go home, they quickly said goodbye to Temari and went back to pack some things.

Since they were going back, they should buy some Konoha specialties to take back with them. Besides, they had taken on a lot of missions during their time in Konoha and had accumulated quite a bit of mission rewards.

After the other two left, only Nara Shikamaru and Temari remained, which made Nara Shikamaru feel a little awkward; although he was somewhat oblivious to emotions, he had spent many years with Temari and was not completely oblivious to anything.

He was dashing and decisive, a stark contrast to his lazy nature, but it was precisely because of this that the two were drawn to each other like the two poles of a magnet.

Nara Shikamaru, unsure what to say, scratched his head and asked, "Is there anything you want to take back?"

"Of course I'll bring them. After all, I have two younger brothers." After saying that, Temari suddenly tilted her head and asked, "Are you going to give me some advice?"

"Well, since I know Konoha better than you do, I can definitely give you some advice."

Seeing Temari's amused expression, Nara Shikamaru turned away sheepishly and said, "Maybe we can find some cheap and affordable local specialties. If there's nothing else, let's set off now."

"Heh, then I'll leave it to you, you lazy brat."

"You're so nagging. I've already told you not to call me that."

On the other side, the Nara family.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio finally got together after a long time. Yesterday, Yamanaka Inoichi only met with Nara Shikaku briefly before returning to be with Keiko and her daughter. Today was the day the three of them could finally reunite.

Nara Shikaku looked at Yamanaka Inoichi's somewhat cracked Edo Tensei body and said with sadness and regret, "The 75th generation Ino-Shika-Cho trio is finally complete, but Inoichi, you..."

"Don't be sad, Shikaku. Didn't we prepare ourselves for the day we became ninjas?"

Yamanaka Inoichi was quite open-minded. Even if he couldn't, what could he do? He had been dead for several years, and his daughter was almost all grown up.

Nara Shikaku, however, still felt a little apologetic as he said, "Inoichi, I'm sorry. I only visited Keiko-san a few times after you passed away because Choza and I were secretly preparing something, so we couldn't involve Keiko-san. But we are both keeping an eye on Keiko-san and Ino. If they encounter any trouble, Choza and I will definitely step in."

Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head and chuckled, "Shikaku, we've known each other for decades, how could I not trust you? But what exactly is it? Why can't we tell Masaki?"

"I also thought about telling Masaki-kun, but Masaki-kun is more concerned with stability, and he's not that close to me or Choza. So I kept it from Masaki out of respect for the privacy."

Nara Shikaku sighed, then said in a solemn tone, "Of the entire Ino-Shika-Cho trio, only Choza and I know about this. If Inoichi were still alive, I would definitely have told you back then."

Yamanaka Inoichi looked surprised and suspicious. What could be so well kept secret? Could something have happened in Konoha in the past few years that he didn't know about?

Subsequently, Nara Shikaku told Yamanaka Inoichi everything he and Sarutobi Hiruzen had done, including Sarutobi Hiruzen's belief that Shirakumo Yosuke would do something to make Konoha disappear for his own selfish gain.

After the events in the Land of Lightning, the Land of Hot Water, and the Land of Grass, Nara Shikaku roughly understood that Hakukumo Yosuke wanted to unify the ninja world. However, Nara Shikaku's vision was somewhat narrow; he could accurately anticipate the enemy's thoughts and formulate corresponding tactics, but he couldn't see the future benefits of this strategy.

It should be said that Nara Shikaku could have predicted this scene, but his mindset and identity prevented him from giving up everything about the ninja clan, and most importantly, Nara Shikaku chose to believe in Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This is the alliance and friendship of the Ino-Shika-Cho and Sarutobi clans over hundreds of years, and the witness of this generation of Ino-Shika-Cho is Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Yamanaka Inoichi was shocked after hearing this and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "How did it turn out like this, Shikaku? Can we stop now?"

I've seen Shirakumo Yosuke. He's not the same Shirakumo Yosuke we knew before. If we stop now...

"Inoichi, Choza and I are even more aware of Shirakumo Yosuke's strength, but even if we stop, it's unlikely we'll be able to finish him off."

Nara Shikaku sighed and said, "Choza and I have been followed and interrogated by the Anbu for quite some time, but since there was no evidence, Lady Tsunade withdrew the Anbu. Moreover, it seems that the Third Hokage has a backup plan and has no intention of stopping."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't tell Shikaku Nara that his backup plan was the Reaper Death Seal, which could even seal the Nine-Tails. This was a forbidden technique he would only use in the worst-case scenario.

"Inoichi, how long can you stay this time? The Impure World Reincarnation technique shouldn't have a time limit, right?"

Akimichi Choza asked, as they knew about the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation, but were unclear about its specific effects.

"have no idea."

Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head and said, "I should be able to stay for a long time, but I promised to invite Shirakumo Yosuke to my house tomorrow. He should tell me about this then. Why is that? Ino is very fond of Shirakumo Yosuke, but we are his opponents."

This left Yamanaka Inoichi feeling quite helpless. He could see Ino's feelings for Shirakumo Yosuke, but what if the two of them became irreconcilably opposed? Should he hurt his only daughter?

Nara Shikaku spoke up, "Inoichi, if you're staying for a long time, I'd like you to introduce me to Masaki-kun and the elders of your Yamanaka clan, preferably those who are absolutely trustworthy."

"I understand. I'll go find Yashu after I see the passersby tomorrow."

After a moment of silence, Yamanaka Inoichi said, "There's no way I can refuse. The bond between Ino-Shika-Cho and Sarutobi is too deep."

At this moment, Akimichi Choza suddenly spoke up, "By the way, I heard that Shirakumo Yosuke is going to marry into the Hyuga clan. He should be the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan leader, but I don't know if it's true."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi looked shocked and said, "What? There's such a thing?"

Nara Shikaku also spoke up: "I've heard about it too, but it's probably just a rumor. Lady Tsunade went to the Hyuga clan because of it, but nothing came of it afterward. If it were true, then according to the tradition of the Hyuga clan, they would definitely hold an engagement ceremony or something."

The Hyuga clan and Yosuke Shirakumo likely have a deep connection, but the engagement is probably just a rumor.

Choza Akimichi, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. Since Shikaku had analyzed it this way, then it must be true.

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi breathed a sigh of relief. If such a thing really happened, what would Ino do?

The three then chatted for a while, mostly reminiscing about their exciting experiences with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, with only a small portion of the time spent discussing something that was very private to them.

When it was almost time, Yamanaka Inoichi said goodbye and went home, wanting to spend more time with Yamanaka Keiko.

After returning home, Yamanaka Inoichi had another meal with Yamanaka Keiko and Ino, but he had to spit out the food he ate, otherwise it would remain and rot inside the Edo body.

After the meal, it was time to rest. Yamanaka Inoichi stayed in his room for a long time, thinking about what Nara Shikaku had said during the day. He didn't even notice when Yamanaka Keiko had made the bed.

"Hai Yi"

After being shaken by Keiko, Yamanaka Inoichi came to his senses and asked, "Keiko, what's wrong?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yamanaka Inoichi saw the bed that Yamanaka Keiko had laid out. In the past, when the couple planned to do something together, Keiko would lay out only one bed.

Moreover, Keiko's skin is now fair, her cheeks are rosy, and her lips are shimmering, as if she's wearing lipstick.

Yamanaka Inoichi quickly said, "Keiko, let's call it a day. There's something that's bothering me, so I'm not thinking about anything else." Actually, he couldn't do it, but he didn't want to tell his wife.

The impure body is a weapon of war, and has been separated from emotions, desires, and the like.

Although disappointed after hearing this, Keiko Yamanaka still considerately asked, "Inoichi, what happened? If you're troubled, you can tell me, and we can face it together as a family."

"Actually, it's nothing much, it's just..."

Unsure how to respond, Yamanaka Inoichi changed the subject, asking, "What do you think of Shirakumo Yosuke?"

"Yosuke-kun? He's a very powerful person. Many people in the village say that he's already the second ninja god in the ninja world."

Keiko Yamanaka began to speak, saying that she had heard all of this in the village. Most people in the village now have a very high opinion of Yosuke Shirakumo, and this can be seen from the newspapers.

"Is that so? Then Keiko, what do you think of him and Ino?"

Keiko shook her head and said, "The two of them must be very close. I've never heard Ino say anything bad about Yosuke. It's just that Shirakumo Yosuke is often away from Konoha, which makes Ino a little resentful."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi remained silent for a while before saying to his wife, "I understand. Rest now, Keiko. We still have to entertain Yosuke-kun tomorrow."

After saying that, Yamanaka Inoichi brought out another quilt and spread it out; he couldn't do that kind of thing with Keiko, otherwise his impure body would definitely be exposed.

Keiko Yamanaka was somewhat disappointed upon seeing this. This was the first time she had seen her husband in three or four years, but it could only alleviate her longing in her heart.

------

The next day, Shiraku Yosuke got out of Samui's arms, went back to Tsunade's house to clock in, and casually told her about the construction crew coming in to start work.

Tsunade casually replied that she understood. Taking over the Shimura family's property was a small matter. If Shiraku Yosuke hadn't moved in, there would have been no need to tell her about it.

After taking care of some business outside, Shiraun Yosuke suddenly remembered that he had arranged to visit the Yamanaka family at noon, so he took some gifts and headed to the Yamanaka family's house.

Upon arrival, Shiraku Yosuke immediately spotted Yamanaka Ino waiting against the wall outside the door. Today, she wasn't wearing her bandaged leggings, but instead was dressed in a purple short dress, looking very youthful and beautiful.

Upon seeing Shirakumo Yosuke, Ino immediately stepped forward and took his arm with a happy expression: "Yosuke-kun, you're here so early."

Shirokumo Yosuke pinched Ino's tender cheek and said with a smile, "Compared to Ino who was waiting outside, I'm already considered late. Let's go in."

After being led into the house, Ino shouted and then knelt down to help Shirakumo Yosuke change his shoes.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Yamanaka Keiko soon came out of the house. When the former saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel angry; his precious daughter was too humble. How could he manage the household in the future if she was like this?

However, Yamanaka Inoichi didn't say anything. After accepting the gift, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Shiraku Yosuke and then welcomed the person in.

Keiko Yamanaka had already prepared a lot of delicious food, and she put in her best effort to entertain Yosuke Shirakumo; although her skills were not as good as Yosuke's, they were still quite good for a housewife.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the four began to enjoy their lunch. After taking a couple of bites, Shirokumo Yosuke praised Yamanaka Keiko's cooking skills, which made his future mother-in-law beam with joy and chatter.

The conversation over a meal improved Keiko Yamanaka's impression of Yosuke Shirakumo by fifty points. Even Ino looked at Yosuke Shirakumo with admiration. Only Inoichi Yamanaka felt like he was the one who was superfluous, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

After lunch, Yamanaka Inoichi invited Shirakumo Yosuke to sit in the backyard of the Yamanaka family home and sent Ino away.

Once they were alone, Yamanaka Inoichi finally spoke, asking, "Yosuke-kun, how long can the Impure World Reincarnation last?"

"Theoretically, it can be maintained indefinitely, but the exact duration hasn't been verified yet. However, a few years shouldn't be a problem. Jonin, are you planning to stay in Konoha?"

Shirokumo Yosuke asked, changing his way of addressing Yamanaka Inoichi, because he had discovered something interesting.

He slightly modified the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Although he didn't use talismans to strengthen the binding of the impure body like Orochimaru, he used his own chakra when casting the technique, which allowed him to strengthen the binding force to the limit.

Furthermore, by retrieving a portion of the chakra from the impure body, the caster can obtain information about the impure body's collection.

While eating just now, out of curiosity, Shiraku Yosuke had taken back some of the chakra from Yamanaka Inoichi, which actually led him to some discoveries.

However, Yamanaka Inoichi was unaware of this, as he knew nothing about the Impure World Reincarnation technique; after hearing Hakuun Yosuke's words, he continued, "There are still some things I haven't finished dealing with in the ninja world, so I want to stay a little longer."

"Of course, no problem. Jonin Inoichi is a ninja who has made many contributions to Konoha, so there's no need to tell me that. But there is something I need to tell Jonin Inoichi."

With a smile on his face, Bai Yunyoujie said calmly, "Some time ago, I started a war against the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja. However, an accident happened during the attack on the Cloud Ninja. It seems that the Cloud Ninja Village knew that we would start a war and attack them."

Finally, after conquering Kumogakure, we extracted intelligence from the Fourth Raikage's brain. It was information leaked to Kumogakure by Danzo. They knew Konoha would attack Kumogakure, but they didn't expect me to act a month earlier, catching them completely off guard.

After hearing what Hakuun Yosuke said, Yamanaka Inoichi was already a little nervous. If it weren't for the fact that he was now in the body of the Impure World Reincarnation, Hakuun Yosuke probably would have heard his heartbeat.

"Danzo has been a defector for a long time, and very few people in Konoha know about the decision to attack Kumogakure. This was a confidential internal meeting, and only Jonin knew about it. This is because Tsunade-sensei was certain there was a traitor within the organization, and she had the Anbu investigate everyone who knew about the operational agreement!"

"Unfortunately, the Anbu found nothing, and since a large number of Anbu members cannot be used to spy on Konoha's high-ranking officials at all times, the matter was left unresolved."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his face remained grave as he asked, "Yosuke-kun, do you want me to use the Yamanaka Secret Technique to investigate the mole?"

"No, I already know about the mole. It's just too much of a coincidence."

Bai Yunyou shook his head and smiled as he spoke. His words immediately shocked Yamanaka Inoichi, who almost showed his astonishment on his face.

Yamanaka Inoichi, his face nearly turning pale, asked, "You...you know about the mole? That's great. So...who is the mole? Yosuke-kun?"

"Let me be frank. I am a Jonin. I have improved the Impure World Reincarnation technique. The people I summon with Impure World all have my chakra. After I take back some of my chakra, I can know the history of the Impure World body."

"I'm sorry, Jonin Inoichi, but the Impure World Reincarnation technique was originally developed as a forbidden jutsu for combat. Family reunion is just a negligible additional ability of the Impure World Reincarnation."

"You, you."

Upon hearing these words, Yamanaka Inoichi instantly understood what Shiraku Yosuke meant; he already knew what Shikaku and the others had done, and that the information had been leaked from him.

How could you take advantage of me?

"This isn't about taking advantage of you. To be honest, because of Ino, I don't want Jonin Inoichi to get involved in this at all, but it seems you've already made up your mind. This really puts me in a difficult position."

As Baiyun Youjie said this, he quickly formed hand seals, instantly restraining Yamanaka Inoichi, who was trying to send a message.

After strengthening his control over the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Yamanaka Inoichi's eyes instantly went vacant, and the cracks on his body gradually disappeared, making him look more and more like a living person.

"Next, it's time to deal with the mole!"
