Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 165 Kushina's Dilemma: Cooperation Between the Three Villages

Chapter 165 Kushina Shakes the Mimura Cooperation

Without even guessing, Shiraku Yosuke knew that it was Kushina who had returned.

After breakfast, he would go out and usually wouldn't return until evening; and when he did return, he would not say hello, and after releasing the tailed beast chakra, he would go into the sealing space.

They practically treated Yosuke Shirakumo like a hotel.

As Kushina walked barefoot across the living room on the wooden planks, she happened to see Yosuke Shirakumo. She walked over with a delighted expression and said, "Oh, so you're home. Here, give me some money. I want to go on a trip with Mikoto for a few days."

Kushina confidently reached out her hand to Shirokumo Yosuke, asking for money, which surprised Shirokumo Yosuke.

"Going on a trip? You and Uchiha Mikoto?"

"That's right. Now we can't go to the Land of Hot Springs by taking the Thunder Train anymore, it's Yukawa Ward. It's no fun for Mikoto and me to stay in the village, so we should be able to go on a trip."

After Kushina finished speaking, a hint of regret and longing appeared on her face as she continued, "I've spent almost my entire life in Konoha, never even leaving the village. Also, Yukawa Ward has some unique local delicacies that Mikoto and I could learn to make for Naruto someday."

"You two dead people want to go on a trip? Is that really necessary?"

"Sasuke-kun seems to be going out too. Mikoto is getting really bored by herself, and she probably wants to leave the village to see the world. So, could you lend me some money?"

Kushina clasped her hands together and said to Yosuke Shirakumo, "When we were chatting yesterday, I heard Mikoto say that she couldn't sleep day or night. She didn't know what to do when Sasuke left the village to do missions. She could only sit all day, and the boredom was unbearable."

Upon hearing Mikoto's words, Kushina immediately recalled her previous experiences in Konoha. Apart from leaving Konoha to complete a few high-level missions, she had spent the rest of her time in the village.

Even when she left Konoha to do missions, Kushina never went very far, nor did she wander around outside. It can be said that the time when she knew the most about the ninja world was during the time she was in Yosuke Shirakumo's body.

As for Mikoto Uchiha, if it weren't for Sasuke Uchiha supporting her, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer; the Impure World Reincarnation eliminated all her desires, so she no longer needed to eat, drink, relieve herself, or sleep.

Most ninjas would find it difficult to persevere for even a few months, but Uchiha Mikoto has persisted for almost five years.

"Lending you money and letting you go on a trip are no problem, but Kushina, I haven't had any fruit for days."

As Shiraku Yosuke spoke, he patted the spot next to him and continued, "Let's do it now."

"you"

Upon hearing this, Kushina's face immediately flushed with shame and indignation. She slowly clenched her fists and said unwillingly, "I know, you big jerk!"

In the past few days, Shirakumo Yosuke has been very accommodating in letting her go out and have fun, which has increased Kushina's goodwill towards him. However, today she recalled the fact that Shirakumo Yosuke is a jerk.

Bang!

After Kushina used her shadow clone to transform back into Yosuke Shirakumo's favorite outfit—a short skirt, white stockings, and long thigh-high socks—she took a small bowl of fruit, bent her long white stockings, and sat on Yosuke Shirakumo's lap.

After calling out to Kushina, who was holding a blueberry, she closed her beautiful eyes and leaned closer.

However, just as she was about to turn around quickly after feeding the blueberries, she felt herself being embraced by Yosuke Shirakumo.

"This lecherous wolf, he's already so impatient with just the first blueberry."

Kushina felt ashamed and indignant, but remembering that this was a promise she made to Yosuke Shirakumo, she could only helplessly close her eyes.

"Kushina, just say yes, wouldn't it be better to be resurrected?"

"Dream on! I... I won't agree to that!"

"Being brought back to life is something others would kill for, and besides, you know so many of my secrets, Kushina, there's no way I'll let you leave."

However, Kushina remained steadfast in her principles, hesitating several times, only to quickly refuse after a moment's thought; it seemed that even though she longed to be resurrected, a huge chasm was blocking her way.

As Shirakumo Yosuke played with Kushina's white-stockinged feet, a possibility suddenly occurred to him, so he tentatively asked, "Kushina, if you're worried about the new child, I can guarantee you won't get pregnant and have a baby!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kushina became shy and angry, it seemed that he had struck a chord with her and made her emotional.

Even if other parts of the body can be enhanced with chakra to improve their defense, a weakness is a weakness and cannot be strengthened with chakra.

Kushina snorted coldly and said, "I said no, and that's final. Don't even think about it."

"Hey, you rascal, if you can't keep going, you won't have anything to watch at night anymore."

"You bastard, who wants to see your filthy images, you pervert! You big idiot!"

Kushina blushed and shouted angrily, but from a distance, she looked just like a couple.

Shirokumo Yosuke's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a serious and distressed expression, "No, Kushina, you have to take responsibility."

"Nonsense, I don't want to take responsibility, it has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Yosuke Shirakumo's serious expression, Kushina felt a little guilty; however, she thought of the nights she had witnessed before.

"Kushina, you absolutely have to take responsibility! Oh no, oh no!"

Kushina gradually believed Shirakumo Yosuke's performance, and suddenly panicked, unsure of what to do.

Then, pretending to be anxious, Shirokumo Yosuke said to Kushina, "Kushina, help me. If this doesn't work, I'll have to go to the ninja hospital."

"Huh? W-what? Why?"

"Hurry up, Kushina! Don't you want to take responsibility? Or did you do that on purpose?"

"H-How could this be? I didn't mean to, it's just...it's just..."

Kushina stammered and tried to find some excuses for herself, but she was already in the wrong in this matter. In addition, Yosuke Shirakumo's performance was so realistic that Kushina really thought she had made a big mistake.

In addition, Shirokumo Yosuke would occasionally mention how he had helped Kushina in the past, but now he had been "hurt" by her, which made Kushina feel even more guilty.

"Okay, I...I understand."

Feeling guilty and at a loss, Kushina slowly approached Yosuke Shirakumo.

But just as she closed her beautiful eyes, someone suddenly rang the doorbell, followed by a knock on the door.

The smile on Shirokumo Yosuke's face froze instantly; he had been interrupted again. He had been interrupted last time with Tsunade, and now he was being interrupted again while trying to win over Kushina.

"Yes, someone's coming. Let's talk about it another day."

Kushina blushed deeply as she spoke, then immediately released the tailed beast chakra from her body and returned to the sealed space within Shirakumo Yosuke's body.

However, after returning to the sealed space, Kushina felt it wasn't right for her to just leave like that, so she reminded her, "Remember to go to the hospital for a checkup."

"So verbose, it's almost there."

After using a seal to isolate Kushina from his communication, Shirokumo Yosuke sighed with some regret, saying that he was almost able to conquer her completely, but unfortunately, he was interrupted by that bastard outside the door.

After straightening his clothes, Shiraku Yosuke opened the door to greet his guest. Upon discovering that it was Temari, he frowned slightly and asked, "Temari, what brings you here? If it's about the Sand Village, then tomorrow is the day for the three villages to discuss their plans."

"No, Lord Yosuke, besides these, there is something else I would like to inquire about."

"."

Seeing Temari's serious expression, Shirakumo Yosuke stepped aside and said, "Come in."

After Temari sat down at the square table in the reception room, Shirakumo Yosuke served her a cup of tea before sitting down opposite her and asking, "What is it? Go ahead and ask."

"Lord Yosuke, have I disturbed you?"

Temari sensed that Shirakumo Yosuke was in a bad mood today, and his tone was very cold, so she wondered if it was because of her sudden visit, or something else.

"It's alright, you wouldn't know anyway. I'll tell the ANBU outside next time."

Temari was at a loss for words after Shirokumo Yosuke's words. It turned out that Shirokumo Yosuke's bad mood really was related to her. She must have disturbed him just now.

However, Temari was inexplicably eager to know about Shikamaru. Even though she knew she should immediately get up, apologize, and leave, her urgent desire compelled her to ask.

"Lord Yosuke, I'd like to ask about the lazy Nara Shikamaru. Is his father really as described on the notice board? How is Shikamaru doing now?"

"Um?"

Shirakuni Yosuke was somewhat surprised, and then asked, "Is it what you saw? As for Nara Shikamaru, he should be at home now. Konoha doesn't practice the system of collective execution. Even if Nara Shikamaru's parents betrayed the village, he won't be implicated, and he can still be a ninja in the future."

"Oh"

Upon hearing the news about Nara Shikamaru, Temari was both shocked and surprised; she was shocked that the news about Nara Shikamaru was true, that he had colluded with the enemy and attacked Shirakumo Yosuke in front of her.

Surprisingly, Konoha treated Nara Shikamaru so leniently. Even after his parents betrayed the village, he was still allowed to continue being a ninja, and there was no targeting whatsoever.

This is already very good. If it were their Sand Village, they would definitely lock him up in prison for a period of time, and even if he were released, they would keep him under strict surveillance. Moreover, that child would be branded as the son of a rogue ninja. Although Nara Shikamaru also has this reputation, Konoha has not targeted him.

Why, why is this happening?

"You're asking me? I'm not Nara Shikaku or Sarutobi Hiruzen, how would I know what they're thinking? Maybe they're just stupid. Alright, that's all the questions. Do you have anything else to say?"

Shirokumo Yosuke waved his hand and said that he was also a little angry because Temari had interrupted his efforts to win over Kushina.

"If there's nothing else, go back. Please tell Lord Fengying that there's no need to be so deliberate."

"I...I understand."

Upon hearing this, Temari quickly spoke up, though she should have left immediately. But inexplicably, she suddenly asked, "Lord Yosuke, is there any way to help Nara Shikamaru and reduce the harm done to him?"

Shirakuni Yosuke was taken aback and asked, "Reduce what? The damage to Nara Shikamaru?"

"right"

"You think I caused all of this? That's why you came to me?"

Although he was the one who announced the matter involving Nara Shikaku and the other two, it was just the normal procedure, since they were the ones who wanted to harm him.

"Temari, as far as I know, your Sand Village's attitude towards the families of rogue ninja seems far worse than that of Konoha."

Bai Yunyangjie said meaningfully, "It turns out that among the five great ninja villages, only Kumogakure has almost no rogue ninjas. The other ninja villages, Kirigakure and Sunagakure, have the most rogue ninjas. One village has cruel policies, and the other village is poor and has no future."

The policies of these two ninja villages towards rogue ninjas were extremely harsh, and the relatives and friends of rogue ninjas were at the bottom of the village; it was only because Chiyo was a high-ranking member of the village that there were so many people in Sunagakure who criticized her.

"And you must remember your place. You are a ninja from Sunagakure. Even if you like Nara Shikamaru, you dare to question me for that reason. You truly are worthy of being the Kazekage's daughter. It seems I need to reconsider my attitude towards Sunagakure."

Shiraku Yosuke picked up the tea in front of him and, noticing that Temari seemed anxious and wanted to say something more, spoke up first: "If there's nothing else, please leave, Temari."

"Lord Yosuke."

"Do you want me to see you off?"

Upon hearing Shirakumo Yosuke's words and sensing his imposing aura, Temari knew she couldn't say anything more. She could only give a slight bow with a somewhat displeased expression before leaving Shirakumo Yosuke's house.

After Temari left, Shirakumo Yosuke pursed his lips.

Although he had some feelings for Temari, Temari couldn't compare to Kushina. He was almost inside her when Temari suddenly knocked on the door, interrupting him. It would be abnormal if Shiraku Yosuke didn't complain.

Moreover, even if Hakuun Yosuke used the Nara Shikamaru incident to negotiate with Temari, it wouldn't work; the failure rate would be too high. Relying solely on Shikamaru isn't safe. Things will be much better after the negotiations with Sunagakure are completed tomorrow.

If Shirakumo Yosuke tells Rasa what happened today, and then keeps a cold face and deals with Rasa officially, and Temari can still get a good look from Sunagakure, then Shirakumo Yosuke will have to give Rasa a thumbs up.

Rasa only awakened his paternal love after his death. Now he is a typical Kazekage, willing to sacrifice many things for the village, including his children.

------

next morning

"Leaving today? What about me, Kushina?"

When Shiraku Yosuke saw Kushina reaching out to him for money, he asked her in surprise.

Yesterday's verbal sparring was almost over, but it was interrupted. Shirakumo Yosuke was hoping to find an opportunity to make it happen, but Kushina said early this morning that she was going on a trip with Mikoto.

"We can talk about your business later. It's not like I'm not coming back."

Kushina said with a wandering gaze, "I was actually a little grateful to the person who suddenly knocked on the door yesterday."

Back in the sealed space, Kushina was almost mortified by her own actions; moreover, Yosuke Shirakumo blurted out her biggest worry: that if she were resurrected and had a new child, she wouldn't know how to face Naruto.

All night yesterday, Kushina was secretly cursing Shirakumo Yosuke. That lecherous brat was so much younger than her, yet he had her completely under his thumb. That's why Kushina wanted to go on a trip with Mikoto right away, so she could tell Mikoto about her troubles.

For the past few days, Kushina had been talking to Mikoto about other things, and she hadn't mentioned her relationship with Yosuke Shirakumo, partly because she was embarrassed and partly because she felt shy. But now Kushina was very upset, and if she didn't find someone to talk to, she felt like she would suffocate.

"Never mind. This money should be enough for you. If there's an emergency, I'll call you and Mikoto back."

Yosuke Shiraku gave Kushina two million yen, enough for the two of them to live on for several months if they didn't gamble.

Moreover, both of them, one was created by him through reanimation and the other used his tailed beast chakra, were under the control of Shirakumo Yosuke. Even if they were far away overseas, Shirakumo Yosuke could make Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto return immediately at any time.

"Two, two million!?"

Kushina's eyes lit up immediately, and after taking the money, she said with a smile, "Thank you. You're actually quite nice sometimes, but you're just too much of a womanizer."

Give me my money back.

"No way!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina immediately stuffed the money into her ninja tool bag, turned around, and ran out of the Hakuun residence.

"This girl doesn't act like a mother at all."

However, Bai Yunyang understood that Kushina was only twenty-four years old when she died; if she were thirty-four, then rationality would outweigh emotion, and it might not have been so easy for him to succeed.

After Kushina left, Yosuke Shirakumo changed his clothes, had breakfast, and then went out to the Hokage Building.

Today I need to discuss the profit-sharing arrangements after the war with Mei Terumi and Rasa, so I left home very early.

When Shiraku Yosuke arrived at his office, he found that Samui had already prepared the table, chairs, tea, and snacks.

However, there were only three chairs. Upon seeing this, Shirakumo Yosuke asked Samui, "Samui, isn't Tsunade-sensei coming?"

"I just consulted the Hokage, and she said she doesn't know anything about these things, so she won't get involved. This matter will be decided by Lord Yosuke."

That idiot teacher! She clearly gave her the documents; Shirokumo Yosuke probably didn't even look at them. She's really carrying out the idea he gave her a few years ago to the end, pushing all the trouble onto her subordinates.

Soon, Mei Terumi and Rasa each brought one person to Yosuke Shirakumo's office. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they began to get down to business.

"Gentlemen, the war ended so quickly thanks to the help of Kirigakure and Sunagakure; therefore, as agreed beforehand, the spoils of war will be distributed in the following manner."

After Baiyun Youjie finished speaking, he took out two scrolls and handed them to Terumi Mei and Rasa respectively.

It records the post-war harvest and how the profits were distributed.

The harvest record was witnessed by almost all three parties, and Hakuun Yosuke didn't hide anything. His goal was to unify the ninja world and then develop the other world, so there was no need for him to do these petty tricks.

Mei Terumi and Rasa nodded as they looked at the arrangement, having no objections to it.

Mission assignments, resource allocations, war spoils—even the Sand Village, which didn't attack the Cloud Village, received some of the Cloud Village's ninjutsu and secret techniques, though only about a quarter of them. This was nothing compared to Konoha and Kirigakure, since the Sand Village didn't participate in the Cloud Village battlefield.

When the time was almost up, Shiraku Yosuke asked with a smile, "Are you both satisfied with this plan?"

Rasa nodded and said, "Satisfied. Lord Yosuke's distribution plan is very fair, and Sunagakure has no objections."

Mei Terumi smiled with a hint of allure, "The Hidden Mist Village has no objections. In fact, we owe a great deal to Konoha; otherwise, how could we have achieved such a large gain?"

This is the harvest of annihilating three countries. In the previous Shinobi World Wars, almost no ninja village won; all suffered casualties and financial losses.

However, the Fourth Shinobi World War was different from the Fifth Shinobi World War. The Sand Village followed the Leaf Village and ate their fill, while the Hidden Mist Village also got a big bite.

"In that case, you two can take a look at this next. It was also agreed upon before the war; however, the arrangements for Kirigakure and Sunagakure are different, so..."

Yosuke Shirakumo handed each of them a scroll again; this was for discussing a collaborative project.

What was given to Sunagakure was the pre-arranged greening plan: Wood Release ninjutsu combined with a plant cultivation hormone developed by Orochimaru and Shennong, which would allow trees in the desert to survive.

If Yamato were given a batch of secret medicine to restore chakra, along with these plant cultivation hormones, the greening rate of the Land of Wind could be increased to over 70% in less than six months.

When Rasa saw this greening project, he couldn't help but feel excited. If it succeeded, Sunagakure would be free from the miserable state of constant sandstorms it had been in before.

They were finally able to escape from those miserable days when they could only grow some herbs indoors.

As for Kirigakure, they are cooperating to build a large seafood processing plant along the coast, and the two ninja villages are jointly forming a deep-sea fishing association, as well as plans for a sea-based lightning railroad and other projects.

Once all these collaborations are completed, the connection between Kirigakure and Konoha will be very close.

By then, if people from Kirigakure want to come to Konoha for a stroll, they can arrive in less than a day by taking the Lightning Chariot.

After reading the cooperation plan on the scroll, Rasa slowly exhaled and said, "Thank you very much for Konoha's assistance. This has really done our Sand Village a great favor, Lord Yosuke."

"This was agreed upon beforehand, it's nothing, Lord Rosa."

Shirokumo Yosuke said with a polite smile, but just as he was about to say something, Terumi Mei suddenly spoke up with a joyful expression.

"Yosuke, when will all this be finished? I meant, are these all areas where we need to collaborate?"

"Yes, some of it involved my personal assistance, which is part of the promise I made to you before."

Shirakumo Yosuke's words were somewhat vague, but they reminded Terumi of the time she and Shirakumo Yosuke spent alone in the Raikage Building.

Mei Terumi suppressed her joy and said to Yosuke Shirakumo, "Then I thank you on behalf of Kirigakure, Yosuke."

Seeing the joy on Mei Terumi's face, Rasa, who was standing to the side, felt his own joy diminish for some reason.

Although the Sand Village gained a lot from this war, the Hidden Mist Village seems to have profited even more. In fact, it seems that they gained the equivalent of two wars from the Sand Village in just one war.

Afterwards, Shirakumo Yosuke negotiated with Terumi Mei and Rasa for a long time, without even having lunch, and the talks were not completely finished until the afternoon.

"That's all for today, gentlemen. But there's no need to rush back. If you have any other collaborations to discuss, feel free to bring them up. There are many merchants you can contact in Konoha."

"Furthermore, I need to discuss the matter of the Jinchūriki with the two of you tomorrow."

Bai Yunyang sighed and said that he was exhausted today, not physically, but mentally.

However, before Rasa left, Shirakumo Yosuke remembered Temari and reminded her, "Kage, your daughter is quite lively, but it's best not to get too involved in the affairs of other ninja villages, even if she has someone she likes."

"Yes, I understand. I apologize for the embarrassing situation, Lord Yosuke."

Rasa didn't actually know what Shirokumo Yosuke meant, but he could only force a smile and then go back to ask Temari.

It must be that his daughter did something that displeased Shiraun Yosuke; how foolish, he clearly told her to get along well with Shiraun Yosuke.

Rasa walked out with a heavy heart, but as he left the Hokage Building, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked Mei Terumi beside him, "Mizukage, would it be convenient for me to take a look at the cooperation plan between Konoha and Kirigakure?"

"Why does Lord Fengying want to see this?"

Mei Terumi paused for a moment before asking in return, but she had already revealed a lot of information during the discussion; moreover, this was a collaboration between Kirigakure and Konoha, so even if everything was revealed, she wasn't afraid of others sabotaging it.

Who dares to disrupt the cooperation between these two ninja villages? The last village to be soundly defeated by the combined forces of Konoha and Kirigakure was Kumogakure, a story now written into the annals of ninja history.

So after thinking for a moment, Terumi Mei smiled and said to Rasa, "This isn't exactly a secret, but Kazekage, please don't leak it out. In exchange, let me see the cooperation plan between Konoha and Sunagakure."

"it is good."

Luo Sha readily agreed, and the two then exchanged reels.

He had just noticed that Mei Terumi's scroll was clearly twice the size of his, and she must have written more plans on it.

Upon opening it, just as he expected, there were a total of five collaborations between Konoha and Kirigakure. Rasa's eyes widened after reading it.

"They were the Sand Village ninja who cooperated with Konoha first, so why is Kirigakure receiving this preferential treatment?"

As this question flashed through her mind, Rasa suddenly remembered what Shirakumo Yosuke had just said about Temari; for Shirakumo Yosuke to bring it up so openly, Temari's behavior must have really angered him.

This daughter has ruined a major plan for Sunagakure!

Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, Rasa has already decided in his heart that it's related to Temari.

"Yes, the cooperation between Konoha and Sunagakure is excellent. The Land of Wind will no longer be plagued by sandstorms."

Mei Terumi said with a slight curve to her red lips. Although she didn't laugh, her expression at that moment made Rasa feel even more aggrieved than if she were mocking her.

"I have other matters to attend to later, so I'll head back now, Lord Mizukage."

After retrieving the scroll, Luo Sha headed towards his resting place. He wanted to know immediately what Temari had done, and if possible, to make amends.

------

"Captain, there's a huge amount of chakra reaction ahead. This violent feeling seems to be the chakra of a tailed beast."

On the northern border of Raikawa District, several sensory ninjas from Konoha's Anbu suddenly made a major discovery; they had officially formed a search team for the tailed beasts, and before setting off, they had all sensed and become familiar with the tailed beast chakra from Yosuke Shirakumo.

After reporting to the captain, a decision was quickly made, and the group rushed towards the chakra location.

This was already a scorching desert. After quickly approaching, the group finally found their target in a depression.

A sleeping blue cat, its body covered in mysterious black patterns, and its entire body resembling a burning blue flame.

However, even though these Konoha Anbu members were very close, the cat demon still hadn't woken up. It was just slowly gathering the surrounding natural energy, and its own tailed beast chakra was growing stronger day by day.

Upon witnessing this, one of the ANBU members couldn't help but say, "Captain, this should be our target. What's next?"

The squad leader said, "Record the location and route, return and report. The mission only required us to find clues, and now the mission is complete."

Even a sleeping tailed beast is still a tailed beast!

If they suddenly woke up, they would all die here; so the secret service team quietly and slowly retreated, and after returning to the town in Leichuan District, they immediately released Swift Eagles to send a message back to the village.

The swift hawk is almost the fastest flying animal in the ninja world, and it brought the news back in less than a day. After receiving the news from their comrades outside, the Konoha Anbu immediately took the intelligence to report to Yosuke Shirakumo.

"...It really was reborn? If that makes sense, there are now three Two-Tails in the ninja world!"

After reading the information, Shiraku Yosuke was almost certain of his guess, but he still had someone call Yugito over so he could check on her condition again.

Meanwhile, back at his residence, Rasa immediately had Maki call Temari over, then glared at his daughter with a displeased expression.
