Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 175 The Withering of Cherries and the Opposition of Keiko Yamanaka

"I'm so angry! That idiot Uzumaki keeps ruining my plans, otherwise I would have already taken down Sasuke-kun."

Sakura clenched her fists angrily and said that not long after being driven away by Karin Uzumaki, she went to the secret medicine research base to find Yosuke Shirakumo.

Because she had repeatedly failed to catch up with Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura wanted to ask Yosuke Shirakumo for some advice so that she could catch up with Sasuke; this was something she had discussed with Yosuke Shirakumo beforehand, even though she had just obtained the secret medicine from him.

"Yosuke-kun, could you give me another idea to get closer to Sasuke-kun? At least create an opportunity for us to have a meal alone, okay?"

However, Shirakumo Yosuke remained silent, sitting in his seat looking at some research documents in his hands; Sakura kept pleading with him until she began to have doubts, at which point Shirakumo Yosuke's shadow clone turned into smoke with a "pop".

"Huh? This bastard, he actually tried to fool me with shadow clones."

Upon seeing this, Sakura clenched her fists in anger and said, but before she could finish speaking, Yosuke Shirakumo appeared in the room using the Flying Thunder God Technique and said to Sakura, "Shadow clones are for handling documents. I didn't expect you to come so suddenly. So, you failed again this time, Sakura?"

Upon hearing Yosuke Shirakumo's sigh and question, Sakura Haruno turned her head somewhat ashamed and said, "It was because of Karin Uzumaki that I didn't succeed. But Sasuke-kun promised to give me the Uchiha's genjutsu, so that's a big step forward, right?"

"You're totally immune to romance, Sakura. Why don't you consider someone else? How about becoming my girlfriend?"

Sakumo Yosuke sighed and said that although he was pretending to help Sakura pursue Uchiha Sasuke, the ideas he came up with the first few times were definitely effective; Sakura failed time and time again on her own, and Sakumo Yosuke didn't interfere, so Sakura's lack of progress was purely because she was stupid.

"Idiot, I'll never be your girlfriend! My heart is only for Sasuke!!"

Sakura blushed slightly, then angrily clenched her fist and said to Yosuke Shirakumo, "Besides, your girlfriend is Ino, you womanizing bastard! Do you want to break up with Ino?"

After hearing what Shiraku Yosuke said, Sakura suddenly wondered if this guy had secretly gone to see Kurenai-sensei again, but she had no proof.

"I'm doing this for your sake. I've been pursuing you for years, and we haven't even touched hands, let alone kissed. Sakura, if this continues, you might not catch up with Sasuke even when you're in your twenties or thirties. Are you going to be all alone then?"

Yosuke Shirakumo had just extracted enough Three-Tails chakra, so he was in a great mood and couldn't help but flirt with Sakura when he saw her.

After all, Sakura herself came to him.

Recently, everything that Hakuyun Yosuke has been doing has been going smoothly. After he has successfully cultivated and devoured the Three-Tails clone, and completed one or two projects in cooperation with Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure, he will consider attacking Iwagakure to unify the ninja world.

In a good mood, seeing Sakura puffing out her cheeks in anger, Shiraku Yosuke couldn't resist the sudden surge of interest and wanted to tease her a bit.

"And Sakura, you gave me your first kiss. You felt really good then, didn't you? It was a kind of comfort that Ino never experienced."

As he spoke, Shiraku Yosuke came to Sakura's side and pulled her into his arms.

Upon sensing Yosuke Shirakumo's actions, Sakura immediately struggled and retorted angrily, "You bastard, I'm the one who's uncomfortable, let me go!"

"Really? Who was it last time?"

"Shut up, you idiot!"

Sakura shouted angrily, for it was her most shameful memory, and every time she thought of it, her shame would explode.

"Okay, I won't say anymore. But Sakura, is it okay now? I suddenly feel like it."

While placing his hand on Sakura's waist, Shirakumo Yosuke gently said to her, "Although Sakura says she is devoted to Sasuke, she still finds it hard to resist a gentle and handsome guy."

After all, Sakura secretly hopes to fall in love with the gentle Sasuke. Although Yosuke Shirakumo is not Sasuke, his equally handsome and gentle demeanor will gradually make Sakura lose her resistance.

Moreover, Shiraku Yosuke was not satisfied and planned to go further.

"No, no, I need to go home for dinner!"

"You just finished eating before you came, Sakura!"

Shirokumo Yosuke blocked Sakura's path, forcefully pulling her into his arms again. He then picked her up in a princess carry and carried her into the house, continuing to say to her, "I just gave you an idea, Sakura. Whether it's according to the agreement or something else, you can do that kind of thing now, right?"

"You bastard, let me go, or else..."

"Besides, I miss you too, Sakura."

Suddenly, a very gentle, almost confessional sentence came out of Shirokumo Yosuke's mouth, and his appearance was also very much in line with Sakura's aesthetic sense, which made Sakura pause and be stunned.

Now, Sakura is just one step away from the scene she most desires. If it were Sasuke Uchiha, she would probably offer herself up directly; but if it were Yosuke Shirakumo, the effect would be only slightly different, especially since Sakura and Yosuke Shirakumo already had a much closer relationship.

"I...I don't miss you."

When Sakura saw Yosuke Shirakumo's gentle gaze, her attitude softened instantly. Although she was still stubborn, her tone was completely different from her fierce one before.

After a few seconds of silence, Sakura turned her head and said, "Hurry up, but after this, you also need to give me a plan to pursue Sasuke, at least so that I can have a meal alone with Sasuke-kun."

"Don't worry, Sakura."

After this, maybe your heart won't be with Uchiha Sasuke anymore; after agreeing, Shirokumo Yosuke couldn't help but think to himself that after this, he would occupy an indelible place in Sakura's heart.

After entering the house, Shirakumo Yosuke gently took off Haruno Sakura's ninja shoes, revealing her beautiful feet.

Sakura felt a little embarrassed. Although she had taken a bath yesterday, she had been running around outside for most of the day, so she was inevitably not as clean as she had just taken a bath. So she withdrew her snow-white feet and said, "Don't touch me here, I... I haven't washed yet."

"Then I'll go with you, Sakura, later."

"Eh?"

Sakura was taken aback by what she heard. Before she could ask anything, Shirokumo Yosuke came over and covered her mouth with his hand.

"Hmm~"

Just like the familiar feeling from last time, Sakura felt shy and nervous, but her hands were propped up on the bed, preventing her from pushing Shirokumo Yosuke away; while Shirokumo Yosuke kept getting closer to her.

A few minutes later, Sakura, her cheeks flushed, turned her head away, somewhat avoiding Yosuke Shirakumo's gaze, and said, "No, let's not rest like this for a bit."

Sakura had just used a lot of willpower to break free from the kiss, turn her head away, and even pull her bare feet back.

"Let's go to the bathroom, Sakura."

Upon hearing this, Sakura shook her head anxiously and shyly, refusing, "No, this is fine, why do we have to go to the bathroom?"

"Didn't you just say you haven't showered yet? And I'd like to take a bath with you, Sakura."

While gently persuading her, Shirakumo Yosuke reached out and helped Sakura down; rather than helping her down, it was more like Shirakumo Yosuke using his considerable strength to lift Sakura off the bed.

Unless Sakura gets really angry and turns on you, you can't break free just by struggling.

Sakura Haruno then wriggled as Yosuke Shirakumo carried her into the bathroom; today he had changed his approach to dealing with Sakura.

Instead, he used a gentle tone and attitude to slowly dismantle Sakura's defenses.

"Sakura, why don't you take a bath?"

"."

Sakura covered herself with her arms, her beautiful eyes now fixed warily on Shiraku Yosuke. She gave a cold snort and reminded him, "It's a promise, I'll leave after my bath."

Don't worry, Sakura.

Yosuke Shirakumo half-tricked and half-coaxed Sakura into the bathtub.

He then hugged Sakura, said some compliments praising her beauty, and kissed her again in a gentle tone.

------

As darkness fell, Sakura Haruno, who had only slept for a little over an hour, slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing the somewhat unfamiliar ceiling, Sakura paused for a moment, but her mind quickly recalled the memories before she fell asleep, which also made her quickly remember what she had just done.

"Me, how could I?"

Recalling her earlier madness and what she had done with Shirakumo Yosuke, Sakura was filled with shame and anger, as well as guilt and remorse for her half-hearted agreement with Shirakumo Yosuke.

"Bastard, bastard!!"

creak!

Just then, the door opened, and Shiraku Yosuke walked in carrying a water glass. Seeing that Sakura had already woken up, he greeted her with a smile, "Sakura, you're awake! Have some water, but don't throw your pillow at me, Sakura."

"You still say that? You bastard, I shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place!"

Sakura angrily grabbed her hair. She had originally intended to save her first time for Sasuke, but this inexplicably happened. She was in a daze just now and didn't even know what Shirakumo Yosuke did to her in the end.

"Don't be angry, Sakura. You're still a virgin; we didn't use your front just now."

Shirokumo Yosuke comforted her, and then tried to console Sakura from other angles, which gradually calmed her down. The main thing was to let Sakura know that she was still a virgin, otherwise Sakura would definitely have gone berserk.

"You bastard, I'll never trust you again!" (Turns away)

Sakura shouted in shame and indignation, then quickly put on her clothes after Shirokumo Yosuke turned around. However, she felt some pain in her waist and buttocks along the way. After she finished dressing, she couldn't help but kick Shirokumo Yosuke twice with her delicate feet.

"It hurts a lot, Sakura, and you seemed to be enjoying it just now, so you didn't really lose out, did you?"

"Idiot, shut up!!"

Upon hearing Yosuke Shirakumo's words, Sakura couldn't help but throw a few more punches out of shame and anger. However, Yosuke Shirakumo pretended to be in a lot of pain, but in reality, he wasn't in any pain at all.

After venting her anger by throwing a few punches, Sakura remembered her parents were at home, so she snorted and said, "I'm going back!"

"Take care, Sakura. Will you come again tomorrow?"

"Idiot, you won't come tomorrow, you won't come the day after tomorrow, and you definitely won't come the day after that!"

Sakura shouted, then staggered away from the secret medicine research base.

As soon as Sakura Haruno left, Yosuke Shirakumo couldn't help but laugh.

"He's already taken half the place in Sakura's heart. After two more times, once she's hopeless about pursuing Uchiha Sasuke, we can take the final step—home base."

Sakura Haruno's progress is much easier than I expected. If he had used his gentle, manipulative personality more beforehand, as Sakura's male best friend, the progress might have been even faster.

Looking back now, Shiraku Yosuke realizes it was his mistake to think of Haruno Sakura as someone like Temari, when in fact there are still some differences.

However, Sakura Haruno's body is truly delicate; among all the women he has been intimate with, she is the most delicate.

There is still much room for development.

Meanwhile, when Sakura returned home, she found her mother waiting for her in the living room, with dinner on the table.

Upon seeing Sakura return, Haruno Meibuki asked with dissatisfaction, "Sakura, why are you back so late? Where did you go today? You didn't have any missions, so why couldn't you even come back for dinner on time?"

"Don't say that, Mom, I was just held up by something!"

Sakura Haruno said somewhat irritably, "I'm not eating. I have no appetite today. I'm going home now."

After saying that, Sakura went upstairs, but her unsteady gait surprised Haruno Mebuki, who asked, "Sakura, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"

"It's nothing, I just fell a few times while cultivating."

"Do you want me to give it to you?"

"I already said I'm fine. I'm really tired today. I'll just take a shower and go straight to sleep."

Sakura Haruno's tone was a little harsh, but her mind was in turmoil and she just wanted to be alone for a while. She didn't want to deal with her mother's endless questions at all, so she quickly went upstairs.

------

The ninja world has finally achieved a rare period of peace, after two major ninja wars occurred in the previous six years, during which several ninja villages and nations were destroyed.

However, the countries that benefited from the war began to develop rapidly, so Konoha concentrated all the workers and resources of Raikawa District to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in the ninja world.

Highways and lightning train tracks are the main directions for future construction. A total of 27 lightning train tracks have been planned for the entire Land of Fire. Once all of them are completed, the main roads in the country will be basically connected. At the highest speed, it will take only four or five hours to travel from Konoha to Sunagakure.

Previously, even Jonin would take a little over two days to travel, but the speed of the Lightning Train is now almost catching up with the Swift Hawk.

After absorbing the Three-Tails clone, Baiyun Youjie's strength increased again. The Ten-Tails clone within him has begun to slowly transform. Even without absorbing the entire Four-Tails and Five-Tails clones, as long as he has the chakra of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, the Ten-Tails clone within him can slowly transform.

Originally, Yosuke Shirakumo wanted to immediately launch an attack on Iwagakure, but most of Konoha's resources and manpower were tied up in the construction of the Land of Fire.

Moreover, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village did the same. After seeing the Leaf Village ninjas use ninjutsu to clear mountains and level the ground, these two ninja villages also followed suit and learned to do it in a similar manner.

Putting aside other things, Earth Release ninjutsu is particularly useful for construction sites. With the modification of rugged mountain roads using Earth Release ninjutsu, construction can be completed smoothly in just half a day. Even the highest mountains can be moved within half a day.

The reason why the Thunder Chariot Railway was built so quickly was entirely due to the convenience of Earth Release ninjutsu.

Konoha was thus engrossed in a massive infrastructure project, and the village even intentionally opened up the teaching of Earth Release ninjutsu, requiring Jonin to learn one or two Earth Release ninjutsu.

The situation of the Akatsuki organization is both good and bad.

The bad thing is that they have become the enemy of the ninja world, but the good thing is that they have captured the Three-Tails again and found the location where the Nine-Tails was resurrected; however, the Nine-Tails is not fully resurrected yet, and it will take at least a few more months to gather enough chakra to form the tailed beast body.

The news that White Zetsu clones were impersonating daimyo from various countries and stealing money and valuables had already spread, and thanks to Konoha's intelligence sharing, they all knew that it was done by an organization from Amegakure.

However, since Konoha was the leader of both the Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village, after sending people to inquire about Konoha's opinion, they found that Konoha was unable to spare the resources. Therefore, the Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village temporarily shelved their plans to deal with the Akatsuki.

Now, most of the ninjas from both villages have been sent out to work on construction projects, and with the daimyo and ministers all killed, the remaining officials are not enough to command Rasa and Terumi Mei. If Shirakumo Yosuke doesn't give the order, then the two ninja villages will really have a hard time taking action.

Unlike Yosuke Shirakumo, Rasa and Mei Terumi do not have noble status in their country, so even if a new daimyo is elected, it will not be their turn.

However, Shirakumo Yosuke is about to become a daimyo.

The daimyo and ministers of the Land of Fire were all killed, as were the daimyo's children and wives. There was no heir, so a new daimyo had to be chosen based on rank.

In the end, after all the rankings, only Shirokumo Yosuke, the general of the Land of Fire, held the highest position, and all other officials were out of ranks.

Hakuun Yosuke remains the new God of Shinobi in the ninja world. If someone else were to become the Daimyo, Konoha would probably not want to see a new Daimyo chosen before Hakuun Yosuke.

Therefore, the officials from the Daimyo Prefecture submitted the list of candidates for the new Daimyo to Konoha. There was only one name on the list, which was Shirakumo Yosuke.

one day

Yosuke Shirakumo was invited out by Ino Yamanaka. Since they didn't know where to go, and Ino Yamanaka simply wanted to spend time with Yosuke Shirakumo, she dragged him to visit the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

"Yosuke-kun, please help me put these flowers out. The festival is coming up soon, and these are all very popular varieties."

Yamanaka Ino chuckled and directed Shirakumo Yosuke, then placed two potted plants in his hands: "Every year around festival days, it's the busiest time for the flower shop. So many people order flowers during that period, Mom can't keep up with the demand by herself."

"Business seems to be going well, Ino. But is Aunt Keiko out?"

After putting the flowers away, Shiraku Yosuke returned and asked, "Go order some flowers. Although we have our own flower shop, Mom will buy other flowers based on orders." Ino, who was tidying up other bouquets inside, casually replied, "Go order some flowers. Although we have our own flower shop, Mom will buy other flowers based on orders."

After finishing tidying up, Yamanaka Ino cheerfully approached Shirakumo Yosuke, a shy smile on her face, and asked, "Yosuke-kun, if we're together in the future, I'd like to continue running the flower shop."

"Of course, no problem. Ino can do whatever she wants, and I'll come help when I have time."

Shirokumo Yosuke immediately gave Ino a thumbs up and said that he definitely knew what to say at a time like this.

Yamanaka Ino's face immediately lit up with a happy smile, and she rushed over to hug Shirakumo Yosuke, exclaiming, "Yosuke-kun!"

"Ino."

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the flower shop. Upon hearing this, Ino immediately got off Shirakumo Yosuke shyly, then turned around and greeted Yamanaka Keiko, who had just entered, saying, "Mom, you're back. I asked Yosuke-kun to help tidy up the flower shop."

Keiko Yamanaka exclaimed in surprise, "Yosuke Shirakumo!?"

Because of what happened last time, she kept recalling and thinking about it, but the more she thought about it, the more Keiko Yamanaka felt that it wasn't her husband, Inoichi, that happened that day, but she just didn't have any concrete evidence.

Ino immediately said with displeasure, "Hey? Mom, why are you calling Yosuke by his name so directly? That's so rude."

"It's alright, Aunt Huizi might be a little surprised."

Shirokumo Yosuke spoke up in defense of Yamanaka Keiko, but just as he was about to say something more, an ANBU suddenly appeared in front of the Yamanaka flower shop, and upon seeing Shirokumo Yosuke, knelt down and said...

"General, the Hokage wants you to go to the Hokage's office as soon as possible."

"I see."

After Shiraku Yosuke finished speaking, the Anbu used the Body Flicker Technique to leave again.

Then Shiraku Yosuke turned to the mother and daughter in the mountains and said, "Ino, I'm sorry, this is all for today."

Ino quickly shook her head and said, "It's alright, Yosuke-kun, go ahead and do your thing. There'll be plenty of time later."

"Well then, Ino, Aunt Keiko, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Shirakumo Yosuke walked outside, and Ino followed with a smile, waving goodbye and saying, "Take care, Yosuke-kun."

After Shirakumo Yosuke had walked away, Ino returned to the flower shop somewhat angrily and questioned Yamanaka Keiko, "Mom was acting so strange today. What happened? Why were you so cold to Yosuke-kun? You didn't even say hello!"

"No, it's Ino."

Keiko Yamanaka took a deep breath. She felt extremely wronged, but she couldn't tell Ino about it. After a while, she solemnly said to Ino, "Ino, Mom doesn't want you to be with Yosuke Shirakumo. If you can, listen to Mom and break up with him!"

"Huh? Why, why?"

Ino Yamanaka paused for a moment, then asked in surprise and confusion, "Mom, what's going on? Why would you say something like that? Weren't you very welcoming to Yosuke-kun last time?"

"Well, I can't tell you the reason yet, but you should just listen to me."

Yamanaka Ino shook her head resolutely, her eyes filled with determination, and said, "No, even if it's Mom, I can't leave Yosuke-kun in such a confused state. Absolutely not!"

"Ino, you..."

"I don't want to listen anymore! Mom's acting so strange today!"

Before Keiko Yamanaka could finish speaking, Ino turned and went home.

Keiko Yamanaka, left behind, stood there for a long time. After catching her breath, she thought to herself with resentment, "If I can't persuade Ino, I'll have to try to persuade Yosuke Shirakumo."

If she were to reveal that, Shirakumo Yosuke would likely feel ashamed and stop being with Ino.

In short, her guess was right; that day was definitely not Haiyi!
