Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 17 Going to School

"Plans? Akatsuki has only one plan, which is to achieve peace. However, before that, Akatsuki needs to accumulate funds and strength, and Hakuun Yosuke is the target entrusted to us by our employer."

Pain spoke in a calm tone, which left Orochimaru unable to discern anything, unsure whether this was Akatsuki's true objective or merely a cover-up.

"Capture him and hand him over to the employer. That's all there is to the mission."

"Capture it? Or keep it alive? This is a troublesome task."

Kakuzu couldn't help but speak up. He was a bounty hunter by training, and even after joining the Akatsuki, he would often take on missions from underground gold exchange offices. What he hated most were missions involving protection and capture alive.

"Don't bother me with this kind of thing, all I do is kill."

"The employer will offer one hundred million taels!"

"How many!?"

Kakuzu immediately widened his small green eyes, and the next second he said in a serious tone, "I have more experience, let me do it."

A renowned Jonin from a great nation only earns a little over 30 million ryo, but now there's a target with a target of 100 million ryo. Even if it's a bit of a struggle to capture the target alive, it won't be much of a problem for Kakuzu.

Payne said, "Don't rush, Beidou. First, we need to know about Shirokumo Yosuke. This commission is quite important to the organization. If we complete it, there will be a steady stream of commissions in the future, which will allow us to accumulate money quickly."

After he finished speaking, Pain and the others turned their gazes toward Orochimaru, who had just mentioned knowing about Yosuke Shirakumo's gaze.

"He was nine years old and was taken to Konoha Village. Tsunade and Jiraiya should go back too; those two are troublesome."

Orochimaru chuckled and then revealed the information he knew, but only a little, enough for the Akatsuki to take action.

"The other two Legendary Sannin? This is a bit troublesome, Boss. If we launch a full-scale attack on Konoha, we might need you to lead the team."

"Calm down, Kakuzu."

Payne interrupted, saying that they were supposed to use code names within the organization, but Kakuzu's crazy tone made him feel something was wrong. He should have known better than to tell Kakuzu the bounty amount.

"If we were in Konoha, we'd need to think things through carefully. Konoha has more than just the Legendary Sannin; it also has the Third Hokage and thousands of ninja. Besides, we need to remain hidden right now; it's not the right time to engage Konoha in direct combat."

Payne's words drew everyone's attention, and many understood the meaning behind them.

Is it unsuitable to engage in direct combat with Konoha, meaning they have the strength but are unwilling?

Orochimaru, Itachi Uchiha, and the others looked at Pain with a change in their gaze. The source of their confidence was probably those eyes—the eyes of creation of the Sage of Six Paths.

Only Orochimaru, who had fought against the Rinnegan, knew how powerful those eyes were; all his ninjutsu seemed utterly powerless against them.

However, that was his previous thought. Although his dreams about the future were fragmented, Orochimaru had noted down some important clues.

"Orochimaru, Itachi, you two came from Konoha, so you should know more about Konoha than others. Now we need a way or clues to infiltrate Konoha. This mission is very important to the Akatsuki."

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "I understand, Boss. But I just fought Tsunade the day before yesterday, and my pawns have already been exposed. If you want to lead the way into Konoha, you should ask Itachi-kun. After all, the Uchiha are Konoha's security force, hehe."

"."

Uchiha Itachi didn't speak, but just gave Orochimaru a cold look.

Pain said, "Itachi, Orochimaru, hand over the information you have to Zetsu later. He will be responsible for infiltrating and verifying it. The rest of you can just take on commissions and accumulate resources for now. You will be notified in advance when the operation is about to begin."

"Understood, Chief!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll head out now. I'm still standing in the rain when I was called to this meeting."

After Pain finished speaking, people began to speak one after another. Seeing this, Pain also dispelled the Illusionary Body Technique and sent White Zetsu to Orochimaru and Itachi to get information.

Konoha, Ninja Academy

As Iruka led the way, he said to Yosuke Shirakumo, "Yosuke, although you've been absent for two years, Shizune told me you'll catch up as soon as possible. If your score is too low in the next test, I'll consider having you repeat your second year."

"I understand, Iruka-sensei."

Bai Yunyoujie nodded and said that he had made a bet with Tsunade. If Tsunade won, she might sacrifice herself, so he would definitely become the top student in the grade.

Moreover, with his new abilities, Shiraku Yosuke felt that he was fully capable of doing it.

When I arrived at the classroom of Class A, I could hear the noise coming from inside even before I went in.

Iruka suddenly felt a little ashamed. He had just mentioned the best class, and now that he wasn't there, the class was so noisy.

Bang!

Iruka reached out and pulled open the classroom door, shouting, "Shut up, you idiots! Naruto, Kiba, it's you guys again!"

Upon seeing the enraged Iruka, the students inside the room immediately fell silent, their hearts skipping a beat. Even Naruto Uzumaki, who had been laughing heartily just moments before, now obediently lowered his head.

"We'll settle accounts with you guys later. Now, let me introduce a new student who will be spending the next three years with us. Come in, Yosuke."

Iruka called out, and then Yosuke Shirakumo walked in, picked up the chalk, and wrote his name on the blackboard.

"My name is Shirakumo Yosuke, and I hope to get along well with everyone."

After a brief introduction, Shiraku Yosuke remained silent. He felt that ideals and hobbies were unnecessary, as everything would change.

The people around are all familiar faces: the reincarnation of Indra and Ashura's chakra, as well as Sakura, Ino Yamanaka, and others.

However, many people were curious about Shiraku Yosuke, as transfer students were rare at this time, and the classrooms were full with no empty space.

Iruka also seemed a bit troubled; he couldn't very well move a table and sit alone. So after thinking for a moment, he said, "Sasuke, move over a bit and let Yosuke sit next to you. I'll change it to a three-person table for you another day."

The reason Iruka arranged for Shirakumo Yosuke to be by Sasuke's side was because Sasuke had become increasingly distant since that incident, and Iruka hoped that Shirakumo Yosuke could communicate with Sasuke more.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't say anything, but moved a little further inside. Shirokumo Yosuke glanced at Iruka, then walked straight to Uchiha Sasuke's side, nodded, and sat down.

"Alright, let's begin class. There are only a few months until the test, so if anyone fails, get ready for extra practice!"

Iruka's words caused many of those who had been secretly watching Shirakumo Yosuke to turn around and begin to listen attentively.

Meanwhile, Shiraku Yosuke also took out his textbook and began to study.

He had learned to read in the village before, and could understand all the words in the book. Moreover, his new abilities had improved a lot, and he had also done some pre-study before going to school.

Now, Shiraku Yosuke needs to catch up with what others have learned in three years within a month, so he has to multitask.

I'll update three times a day from now on: two at dawn and one at noon. By the way, please vote!
