Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 176 Naruto Uzumaki Becomes Daimyo, Severely Injured

"Let me be the daimyo?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yunyangjie looked surprised, but quickly regained his composure. He had already guessed that this would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon, less than a year later, and that he would think of him.

"That's right, it seems that you're the only one in the entire Land of Fire who can be a daimyo now."

Tsunade rested her chin on her hands and spoke in a very formal tone because there were outsiders present: "Yosuke, what do you think? If you're not willing, then they'll have to skip you and choose another suitable daimyo."

"Of course I agreed, but if the daimyo is going to work, he/she will have to stay in the daimyo's residence. Oh well, I'll handle this. Anyway, the Land of Fire needs some reforms."

Baiyun Youjie shook his head and said that he did not want to live in the capital city's daimyo mansion just because he became a daimyo. It would not matter if the ninja world was unified, but now all his research equipment and women were in Konoha.

Furthermore, Konoha is not far from the capital of the Land of Fire; at its fastest speed, the Thunder Chariot can reach it in an hour.

After pondering for a moment, Shirokumo Yosuke said to an official from the Daimyo's prefecture who had come to deliver the message, "I agree to the Daimyo's request, but I will not be going to the Daimyo's prefecture for the time being. The Daimyo's prefecture will continue to operate as it is now, and all matters should be sent to Konoha the following morning after they are handled."

Baiyun Youjie gave several orders, which can be summarized as maintaining the status quo and keeping everything else unchanged for the time being; moreover, there is another war coming up, and he will not go to the Daimyo's residence before the unification of the ninja world.

"This is... Lord Daimyo."

The officials of the daimyo's prefecture hesitated for less than three seconds before immediately agreeing. Hakuun Yosuke was different from the previous daimyo, who was a nice guy who consulted with other nobles and officials. However, Hakuun Yosuke was a ninja god who had destroyed a country.

The daimyo and most of the officials and nobles of the Land of Lightning are still mining in the mines.

"Announce it when you get back. By the way, how's Elder Mitomon doing in Daimyo Prefecture?"

"We are doing our best to complete the task, Lord Daimyo. As for other matters, our strength and that of our guards are insignificant."

The official immediately changed his tune, displaying remarkable shrewdness, and recounted all of Mitokado Haru's recent behavior.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo died, Yosuke Shirakumo sent people to monitor the Sarutobi family for a period of time but found nothing, so he gradually gave up and continued to send people to monitor them; Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane did the same, but it seems that they have no thoughts about Hiruzen Sarutobi's death.

There were also some significant discoveries on Danzo's corpse. After studying it for a while, Hakuun Yosuke quickly discovered the Oni-Garra Technique. However, he was too lazy to do it himself, so he sent the corpse to Shennong and Orochimaru. Once the two of them had completed their research, Hakuun Yosuke could take over the task.

"It's good that you're alright. Go back now. I'll have the garrison stationed in the capital."

Baiyun Yangjie waved his hand, dismissing the officials from Daming Prefecture.

After everyone else left, Tsunade resumed her relaxed state, as she had when the two of them were together. She leaned back in her chair and said, "I never imagined that brat from back then would become a Daimyo now, even higher in status than Master!"

"No matter how high his rank, he's still your disciple, Tsunade-sensei; and to be honest, I prefer the identity of being the Fifth Hokage's disciple to being a Daimyo."

Bai Yun Youjie immediately said that he wasn't flattering her, but rather that whenever he was with Tsunade, calling her "teacher" when he took advantage of her made her even more shy.

The more Tsunade tried to downplay the master-disciple relationship, the more Shirakumo Yosuke wanted to emphasize it, making Tsunade feel uneasy every time he addressed her by his name; moreover, Shirakumo Yosuke also had a vague feeling that Tsunade probably liked him this way, at least she didn't hit him with superhuman strength.

"Don't be glib with your master!"

After Tsunade's reprimand and warning, she couldn't help but smile, but quickly continued, "Now that you've become the Daimyo, the future of Konoha depends entirely on you. It's quite strange, really. I was originally planning to make you the Sixth Hokage, but you ended up becoming the Daimyo instead."

Baiyun Youjie shook his head and said, "The daimyo is a little better, but I really have no interest in the Hokage position. I'll leave Tsunade-sensei to someone else in the Anbu. Besides, I've heard that daimyo can marry many wives."

Swish!

One second Tsunade was still sitting in her chair, but the moment Shirakumo Yosuke finished speaking, she instantly appeared in front of him, then 'fiercely' grabbed him by the collar, her pretty face almost touching his as she asked...

"Huh? I don't think I heard you clearly. What are you doing, you idiot disciple? Marrying a lot of wives?"

"Uh, that's a privilege reserved for daimyo, but if I were to marry, I'd only marry Tsunade-sensei!"

Sensing danger, Shirokumo Yosuke immediately tried to sweet-talk him, but even so, Tsunade stared at him with her beautiful eyes for a long time before loosening her collar and coldly snorting, "Hmph, marry me if you want. Your disciple will eventually have to fly on his own, and I can't take care of you forever."

"Tsk, how can an older woman be so endearing when she throws a tantrum?"

When Shiraku Yosuke saw Tsunade's attitude, he almost couldn't help but laugh, but he managed to hold back with his willpower; Tsunade's appearance was really endearing, especially since she had been so strong-willed before, but now she looked so aggrieved.

"How could that be, Tsunade-sensei? I love you the most!"

After saying that, Shiraku Yosuke stepped forward and hugged Tsunade. This time, Tsunade did not resist.

However, Shirokumo Yosuke was thinking about other things. It seemed that the biggest obstacle for him to exercise the right of a daimyo to take multiple wives was Tsunade. Did he really have to seduce Tsunade?

Originally, I wanted to bring all the women into the open, but now it seems unrealistic. At least the relationships between Temari, Kushina, Sakura, and others need to be kept secret.

Hinata, we'll see. She has the Hyuga clan behind her, so it's not easy to hide it for now. And then there's Mei Terumi and Ino Yamanaka. Yosuke Shiraku has already sensed that if his relationships with these women are exposed, he'll be the first one to get into trouble!

Perhaps the Fifth Mizukage and the Fifth Hokage will bring together Ino Yamanaka, Kurenai Yuhi, and Hinata Hyuga to form an Avengers team and unite to defeat him, the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Pregnancy! It seems this is the only way to keep Tsunade, Kurenai, and the others safe. Thank goodness the ninja world doesn't have a tradition of abortion."

Bai Yunyangjie couldn't help but feel grateful and relieved, thinking that after much thought, this was the only way to save him.

Wars frequently broke out in the ninja world. Even in the safest places like the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, there were bandits and wandering ninjas. Moreover, three major ninja wars broke out within fifty years, which greatly reduced the population of the ninja world.

Therefore, every child is extremely precious to people in the ninja world.

This was the only solution Shirakumo Yosuke could think of; otherwise, he might really be facing an Avengers team composed of the Mizukage and the Hokage.

Tsunade suddenly spoke up, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. It seems that old man Onoki is planning to negotiate with us."

"Negotiation? What's the point of negotiating for no reason? Why not just prepare for war?"

Upon hearing this, Shirakumo Yosuke was somewhat surprised, but still guessed, "Could it be that Onoki is planning to surrender?"

The last Shinobi World War was when Iwagakure and Kumogakure were at their strongest, but they were still defeated by Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure. Kumogakure was completely wiped out, and Iwagakure mobilized almost all of its forces, along with Kusagakure, Takigakure, and hired ninjas, but they still couldn't break through the defenses of the three villages.

After the last Shinobi World War, those with some knowledge in Iwagakure knew that the destruction of Iwagakure and the Land of Earth was only a matter of time.

The Land of Earth is now completely blockaded. If it wants to develop its military strength, it can only rely on the resources within the Land of Earth. Other small countries that are adjacent to the Land of Earth cannot provide them with effective assistance. Only the Land of Rain can provide some help.

However, the recent assassination of the daimyo and ministers who replaced them in the Land of Earth by the Amegakure village, and the theft of a large amount of money and resources from the Land of Earth by posing as a fake daimyo, made it unacceptable for the Iwagakure village to form an alliance with the Amegakure village.

With no other options and the country in chaos, Onoki had no choice but to send someone to negotiate with Konoha.

They also wanted to find out if Konoha intended to continue the war. If so, then Iwagakure would have to find another way. They had already seen the fate of Kumogakure. With no chance of winning in a fight to the death, Onoki had no choice but to seek another option.

Tsunade said, "Onoki was a ninja from my grandfather's era, and he's a cunning old fox. He might be sending someone to negotiate to steal information."

"If Onoki is really that foolish, then it's actually a good thing for us. Besides, Konoha's intelligence isn't so easy to steal."

Baiyun Yangjie casually remarked that after Konoha's redevelopment, the ninja area and the ordinary people area have been gradually separated. Moreover, there are several key secret areas within the ninja area, such as the secret medicine research base, where a team of ANBU is secretly patrolling.

Places like Konoha Hospital, the Hokage Building, and the Scientific Ninja Tool Research Base are patrolled by both the Anbu and the Security Forces. Moreover, Konoha today is not like it was during Hiruzen Sarutobi's time. If ninjas from other villages were to investigate the secrets of these places, they would be killed on the spot.

"Let's wait for the envoy from Iwagakure to arrive. If they surrender, that would be great. Then we can unify the ninja world without starting a war. Tsunade-sensei, we can achieve lasting peace."

Tsunade chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Peace isn't so easy to achieve. Even when my grandfather ended the Warring States period, it didn't bring peace."

"I am the new God of Shinobi, and as long as I live after unifying the shinobi world, I will surely bring peace."

Baiyun Youjie said confidently, "This is a world where great power is concentrated in one person. As long as I live, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be hit with a Tailed Beast Ball."

Tsunade then asked Hakuun Yosuke if he wanted to build a daimyo's residence in Konoha, since it would be a new daimyo after all.

However, the proposal was ultimately rejected. Shiraku Yosuke had left almost everything to Samui, and he had very little time to handle matters himself. There was no need to build another useless daimyo mansion.

After becoming a daimyo, Shirakumo Yosuke simply ordered the various newspapers and television stations in the Land of Fire to be organized and unified. If they could be acquired, he would pay to acquire them, thus unifying the propaganda in the Land of Fire.

------

The news of Hakuun Yosuke becoming a daimyo quickly spread throughout the ninja world. After he became daimyo, the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Water also successively elected daimyo, almost one after the other.

However, according to the intelligence gathered by the secret service, the daimyo of these three countries were of average strength and foundation. They were just minor noble officials in their own countries before, and their rise to daimyo this time was purely due to the blessing of White Zetsu.

The three daimyo sent gifts to Shirokumo Yosuke immediately after assuming their thrones, but Shirokumo Yosuke ignored them.

Large-scale infrastructure construction is underway throughout the ninja world, and the Land of Wind, with the help of Konoha, is undergoing a transformation.

Originally, 70% of the vast Land of Wind was desert, and even the Sand Village was located in the desert; however, after several months of hard work by Yamato, the forest area of ​​the Land of Wind has increased by 40%.

Furthermore, the Sand Village also sent hundreds of ninjas to help. They used puppets and shadow clones to plant trees manually, and then used plant growth hormones to change the soil environment. Although the efficiency was slower than that of the Great Sand Village, it was still quite effective.

After the first oasis appeared, Rasa's smile never stopped. Moreover, Sunagakure and Konoha had connected the Thunder Train Railway, making it much easier to transport supplies in the future. Temari even sent him a message, suggesting that there might be more cooperation in the future.

This led Rasa to praise his daughter on more than one occasion in public, saying that she had made great contributions to the revival of Sunagakure.

The situation in Kirigakure was similar to that in Sunagakure; both villages assigned tasks and sent their ninjas out to do work. The three ninja villages divided up Kumogakure, and they were basically well-fed during the war, so they were quite wealthy after the war.

Kirigakure is currently even more short-handed than Sunagakure. Rasa has even sent some Sunagakure ninja to take on missions issued by local nobles and merchants, while Mei Terumi is directly discussing the idea of ​​unifying the surrounding island nations with the village's higher-ups.

Furthermore, Mei Terumi also revealed to the village's higher-ups her idea of ​​unifying the ninja world to Yosuke Hakuun, which could be considered a test of their abilities.

Although many high-ranking members of Kirigakure explicitly opposed it, some remained silent and did not express their opinions on the unification of the ninja world and the merger of ninja villages.

The unification of the ninja world is already a trend. If the five great ninja villages still exist and their strength is balanced, then all the high-ranking officials of Kirigakure will definitely scoff at this idea.

However, the powerful military village of Kumogakure was destroyed in a short period of time. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that the landscape of the ninja world has changed directly, and Konoha has become the strongest ninja village in the world.

Moreover, there is also Yosuke Hakuon, the person predicted, the new generation's ninja god; in addition to Konoha's strength, which frightens some of the high-ranking officials of Kirigakure, their cooperation with Konoha has also brought them benefits.

One war was enough to feed Kirigakure, and subsequent cooperation will bring huge benefits to Kirigakure. At present, Konoha is probably the village with the highest goodwill towards ninjas from other villages within Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi's attitude also struck some Kirigakure high-ranking officials as odd. Logically, as the Mizukage, she should have refused the matter immediately, but Mei Terumi's attitude was ambiguous and equivocal.

After the heated debate at the Kirigakure high-level meeting yielded no results, Mei Terumi ended the meeting, though she herself did not express any opinion throughout.

"Naruto, run! We can't believe we're so unlucky as to run into them!"

Jiraiya said, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, that he originally intended to infiltrate the Land of Rain from the direction of the Land of Birds, but he did not expect to run into the Akatsuki members while still on the border between the two countries.

It was just bad luck, and it even dragged Naruto into it, which made Jiraiya extremely frustrated. He originally wanted Naruto to wait for him at the border so that he could infiltrate Amegakure with peace of mind, but he never expected to suddenly run into the Akatsuki five.

"Enough talk, you lecherous immortal. I'll buy you some time. Quickly enter that...what...what mode!"

Naruto Uzumaki knew the situation was dire, and he clasped his hands together, saying to Jiraiya, "I can only hold on for five minutes. If five minutes isn't enough, we'll both be done for."

"Alright, then I'll give it my all with you today, my disciple. It won't take five minutes; three minutes will be enough for me to refine and summon the chakra of the two great sages, Naruto!"

After laughing twice, Jiraiya clasped his hands together and began to refine his chakra.

Entering Sage Mode isn't difficult for Jiraiya, but the key is that his Sage Mode isn't perfect and can't be maintained for more than a few minutes. Therefore, he needs two great sages to help him use the Two Lives Technique. However, summoning techniques have a time limit, so keeping the two great sages in the ninja world requires refining a large amount of chakra beforehand.

boom!

"roar!!!"

Naruto Uzumaki unleashed a powerful burst of chakra, which quickly coalesced into the form of a fox around his body and instantly grew larger, entering his complete Nine-Tails Mode.

A nine-tailed fox, several tens of meters long, appeared before the Akatsuki members. However, apart from Zabuza, the other four felt no fear in the face of this enormous and terrifying monster.

No matter how strong his chakra or how large his body, in their eyes he was still controlled by Naruto Uzumaki.

"Ku-Tails, although Zetsu found the place where the Nine-Tails was reborn, the Nine-Tails extracted from a Jinchuriki should be the same, right? I'm sorry, Itachi-san, leave the capture of the Nine-Tails to me."

After Kisame finished speaking, he tossed Samehada high into the air, then quickly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Great Exploding Water Impact!"

With its cheeks puffed out, the next second it spewed out a torrent like a tsunami from Kisame's mouth, instantly submerging the entire forest and turning the surrounding area into a vast lake.

Upon seeing this water-style ninjutsu, Zabuza's lips twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself in shock, "No wonder he's rumored to be the tailless tailed beast."

"Water Release: Senshi Sharak!"

A massive tsunami suddenly surged up, rushing towards the Nine-Tails that Naruto had transformed into, and within the tsunami were countless Water Release sharks.

Even if a nine-tailed fox is enormous, once it is swept away by a tsunami, it will be entangled and torn apart by thousands of sharks.

"roar!"

With a mighty roar, the nine tails curled up in front of it, and then suddenly lashed forward!

The immense force shattered the tsunami and thousands of sharks, turning them into a torrent of rain.

"Water Release: Water Clone Technique!"

Kisame, relying on his chakra being equal to that of a tailed beast, didn't hold back in releasing ninjutsu. After using his water clone, his main body and water clone used ninjutsu together:

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Two water dragons, each over ten meters long, and a massive, swirling waterfall surged towards the Nine-Tails that Naruto had transformed into. The terrifying water jutsu impact caused the enormous Nine-Tails to lose its footing, knocking it to the ground. The terrifying water jutsu also tore at the Nine-Tails' body.

Although this Nine-Tails is formed from chakra, the connection between the chakra and the Nine-Tails still causes Naruto Uzumaki pain.

"Damn it, how can this guy form hand seals so fast!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, thinking that if he kept using water-style ninjutsu one after another, he wouldn't be able to keep up with this for the three minutes he boasted about in front of the perverted sage.

"You bastards, I refuse to believe your defenses can compare to mine in my Nine-Tails form!"

After this thought flashed through Naruto's mind, he immediately controlled the Nine-Tails' chakra to erupt. After unleashing a wind-style ninjutsu comparable to a B-rank, he immediately stood up and condensed a Tailed Beast Ball in his mouth.

An extremely condensed Tailed Beast Ball rapidly formed in the mouth of the Nine-Tails. Just as Naruto was about to launch it, he suddenly noticed something falling from the sky.

"Try this, C2 homemade bomb, drink it!"

Bang!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The chain reaction caused by the clay bomb explosion directly caused the Tailed Beast Ball to explode in Kurama's mouth, sending hundreds of meters of flames soaring into the sky. Even Naruto himself was thrown hundreds of meters away by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball.

Fortunately, Naruto was protected by the Nine-Tails' chakra and only suffered some injuries; moreover, Jiraiya dodged in time. Although he was refining his chakra, he was also observing the situation of the battle.

If Naruto is in danger, Jiraiya will stop refining his chakra and help him.

Naruto's combat experience is still a bit lacking; he's been at a disadvantage against these ninjas the whole time.

On the other side, Deidara laughed and said to Kisame, "Hey, Kisame, if it weren't for my help, you would have been killed just now. Remember to thank me!"

"You brat, I'm fine even without you. You even hurt my Samehada."

After Kisame finished speaking, he bent down and reached into the water to take Samehada, which was swimming towards him. If Deidara hadn't detonated the Tailed Beast Ball with a clay bomb, Samehada would have been able to quietly follow Kurama and extract chakra.

Sasori, standing to the side, took out a scroll and said, "Let's hurry up and take care of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. There's still Jiraiya over there. I don't like waiting for people; it's too much of a waste of time."

Bang!

The Third Kazekage's puppet was summoned by Sasori of the Red Sand. Ordinary puppets were useless against the Nine-Tails in its fully transformed tailed beast form; only the Third Kazekage's puppet with the Magnet Release bloodline limit could be put to use.

Although Itachi Uchiha didn't say anything, he took a step forward. Although he didn't want to attack the Konoha ninjas, he always had his comrades around, so in order not to expose himself, he had no choice but to be ruthless.

"What a hassle."

Zabuza also drew his Executioner's Blade, ready to strike Kurama hard when the opportunity arose.

"roar!"

Naruto Uzumaki glanced back at Jiraiya, then once again controlled the Nine-Tails to charge at the five Akatsuki members; this time, having learned from his mistakes, he quickly swallowed a portion of the Tailed Beast Ball and launched it immediately.

Bang!

The terrifying impact sent dozens of meters of ground debris flying, and a Tailed Beast Ball, several times smaller than the previous one, hurtled towards Kisame and the others.

Even though it's smaller, a ninja will still die if grazed by it.

"The Law of the Iron Sand Boundary!"

A huge, pitch-black cone suddenly appeared and was then controlled to fly towards the Tailed Beast Ball. After the two collided, an explosive shockwave shot straight into the sky.

The iron sand cones certainly couldn't stop the Tailed Beast Ball, but Sasori of the Red Sand wanted to detonate the Tailed Beast Ball in advance so that they would have enough distance to defend themselves.

After the explosion, several crows appeared beside Kurama, coalesced into the form of Itachi Uchiha, and the next second his eyes transformed into a kaleidoscope pattern, activating his right eye's eye technique.

"Amaterasu!"

A ball of pitch-black flame appeared on the Nine-Tails' body and quickly ignited.

Upon discovering this, Naruto immediately tried to slap the flames with his hands, but the Amaterasu fire couldn't be extinguished even with water; his actions only caused the black flames to shift to other places.

"Roar!!"

The burning pain caused Naruto to struggle violently, but he was helpless against the flames. Originally, only one arm was burning with black flames, but after he patted it, both arms and his body were engulfed in Amaterasu black flames.

Even if Naruto controlled the Nine-Tails to roll on the ground, he couldn't extinguish the black flames; moreover, he could feel the black flames burning chakra, and if he withdrew the Nine-Tails' chakra into his body, the black flames would instantly envelop him.

So much black flame could roast him to death in a minute!

"Perverted sage, I can't hold on much longer."

"Is that all? Ah, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is truly useless."

Seeing Naruto Uzumaki struggling and rolling around with no way to resist, Deidara said somewhat boredly, "I had prepared the clay. I was going to use a few of the latest clay bombs, but I didn't expect Itachi Uchiha to take care of it."

Kisame hoisted Samehada onto his shoulder and said to Deidara, "Kid, this is Itachi's eye technique. Getting even a little bit on you can be very troublesome. That Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is just a brat; it's normal that he can't handle it. But, isn't there still one of the Legendary Sannin?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kisame felt a chill run down his spine and was so startled that he immediately formed hand seals with Samehada raised in front of him.

"Immortal Technique: Thousand Hairs!"

Hundreds, even thousands, of hair-like senbon needles attacked the Akatsuki members. These senbon needles were all transformed from Jiraiya's hair, and they were thinner, faster, and possessed Sage Chakra, making them even more powerful.

Swish swish swish swish!!

Itachi Uchiha transformed into a crow, but the crow was hit by the senbon needles and vanished into thin air; Samehada was blasted into a hedgehog by the senbon needles, but Kisame escaped with a water substitute in the next second.

Sasori's puppet was pierced, but his main puppet jumped out and hid at a distance; Zabuza's Executioner's Blade was also riddled with hair sticks, but fortunately, the blade was too thick to be pierced.

Of the five, only Deidara managed to dodge in time in the sky and was not hit by the hair spiky arrows.

"Hang in there, Naruto."

After forcing the five back, Jiraiya immediately took out a blank scroll and used the Fire Sealing Technique on Naruto to seal all the Amaterasu Black Flames before binding the scroll tightly.

After the black flames on Naruto's body disappeared, he retracted the Nine-Tails' chakra into his body and then fainted.

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya immediately summoned the Iron-Armed Toad and had it take Naruto Uzumaki back to Mount Myōboku before turning around to look at the five Akatsuki members with a sense of relief.

After looking around, Fukasaku said, "Little Jiraiya is probably not someone to be trifled with."

"Well, they are all S-rank rogue ninjas renowned throughout the ninja world. If there were only two or three of them, I'm confident I could kill them. But now, boss, big sister, I can only do my best to ask you to rescue me."

Jiraiya said to the two toad sages with a serious expression that he had seen the ninjutsu of the group just now, which was why he felt troubled.

Even Zabuza, who didn't actually fight, had assassinated the Fourth Mizukage and the Daimyo of the Land of Water before escaping, so his strength must be considerable. Moreover, he was a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. And that puppeteer—the puppet he used was actually the Third Kazekage!

Jiraiya slowly exhaled, knowing he could only give it his all this time.
